I'll tell you a dream: I went outside I saw the snow fall and the sun rise Later the door rang It was Nana and Papa They said "Don't you wanna have over your friend?" "How about Miles? He is my friend?" Then you were here so I didn't go cu-cu-cu-cuckoo bananas!" After the gun fight it was time to eat But then a tornado came down the street "Get inside, kids!" Hollered by Mom, "Follow me quickly into the car" How crazy can you get? How crazy is this dream? First there's snow then a tornado and now we're driving! It was a close call but then as we fled Mom crashed the car in the side of a shed HU! A tornado! I turned and screamed A talking tornado was talking to me! A tornado looking for his pet! A tornado! A talking one yet! So I said "Just don't go a-knocking all those houses down, you got it?" And that was my dream.

The Webster's Dictionary defines love as waiting for you in oblivion I watched a field of flowers wither and die I watched Tony Danza on Larry King Live I thought "Where the hell has this man been for the last decade? Living in a hole? In a room of endless black? I can't believe I let him lead me on like that!" Your hair is so long Your eyes are so deep Without the cover of the night you're just like me I need you more than I want to admit Are you terrified of clams? Or do you love it? And you called my name I love it when you call my name I'm all alone I wait for death, for you. My self esteem is breaking Your voice I hear is making me feel like I'm swimming in sewage I don't want to ever lose it, or lose you I need nothing but you. The Webster's Dictionary defines love as waiting for you in oblivion.

How can I love you? And why do I care? You're just a man. I asked for an answer. I showed all of me I have no wall or shelter You have hurt I am hurt And I'm alone I'm crying I'm hurting My tears don't dry at all My heart is emptying as fear enters my body I ask my how can I be in love? And why do I care? He's just a man. I'm reminded by the many things we share Ways we're different and ways we are the same Early memories reflecting in our minds. Shadows of doubt that trigger us to fall back and stall us from ever moving forward That test our trust That take us apart Love lost is never lost, it's love not burning And you can't let go of him I won't let go of you Toxic is not meant for you or me We have a deep connection that you don't see He will go We will grow Be strong True to you. True to us. True to him. Will make us become what is meant to be One love is never meant for you and him. Love was only meant for you and me.

Waking up is hard Washing my face is hard Getting dressed is hard Making coffee is so hard It's hard, it's h-ha-ha-hard. Going to work is hard Reading a book is hard Being productive is hard Meet deadlines is so hard It's hard, it's h-ha-ha-hard. Putting out the garbage before the garbage truck comes is really hard Saying no to requests is unreasonably hard It's hard, it's h-ha-ha-hard. Vacuuming live wasps out of the bathroom isn't really hard It's kind of fun but if I don't do it taking a bath is hard It's hard, it's h-ha-ha-hard. Remaining calm is hard Having fun is hard Being good is hard Valedictions are so hard It's hard, it's h-ha-ha-hard.
