Dog day standing in the sun and the shadows are escaping my grasp whichever way I turn they slip away sun is so hot, and the ground it burns my feet wanna run and hide but I can't get no relief sweat drops down my spine saltwater hits the floor I'm in for it this time can't seem to find the door bus stop standing in the rain and not a roof in sight water melts through cotton onto skin my mane is soaking and my shoes are feeling wet wanna run and hide yeah, gettin a little upset a drop falls down my spine freshwater hits the floor I'm in for it this time can't seem to find the door stare across the table, a girl is in my sight golden locks falling cross shoulders so slight she's not the one I love, but I can't let her know how could I tell her when she's staring at me so chills run down my spine my foot taps on the floor i'm in for it this time can't seem to find the door

Sitting in the kitchen I was looking in your eyes taste of coffee on your lips our love is no surprise Winter morning and we sit inside letting go of our foolish pride warming up to let our souls collide there's nothing that we can hide Just sitting in the kitchen I was looking in your eyes taste of coffee on your lips our love is no surprise Sun is shining in my window and I can feel you on it's rays the warm embrace will only grow it's all bright and sunny days Just thinking back five minutes ago to the simple things I've come to know why move fast if you can take it slow just sit back and enjoy the show Be my gentle breeze the apple of my eye sunshine on my face my eternal starry sky let me love you sweetly love you so completely Sitting in the kitchen I was looking in your eyes taste of coffee on your lips our love is no surprise

Sitting here wasting time in this reality struggling with our impending mortality drifting helplessly through this endless sea asking for who you want to be reaching higher and achieving new feats one fell swoop and you're back on the streets crashing, clashing, dodging the rocks guarding an identity in your precious black box you can't find what you're looking for you can only live out your life tearing yourself apart with effort is hardly a solving strife realization is admiration for a man you undertand is real caressing and impressing with his gift other's can't steal or reveal if you wanna know me, know you first cuz we all well know that deception is worse than the ones who loved you through the times that you lied the ones who shared all the tears that you cried it's a nameless pain out there on the streets heartlessly staring down at your feet cold and alone in a world so extreme waiting on a love supreme you can't find what you're looking for you can only live out your life tearing yourself apart with effort is hardly a solving strife realization is admiration for a man you undertand is real caressing and impressing with his gift other's can't steal or reveal In the endin end you know we can be friends if all is forgiven at hello

Roses Lie shining like diamonds in the dirt glorify themselves hiding their ability to hurt to see one with petals full and a smell so sweet but try to pluck it and only thorns you will meet draw your bleeding hands away only to try again another day to take the beauty into your grasp knowing full well it won't last roses lie camouflaging all their faults with the most enticing smells to draw you to a halt catching your eye with morning drops of dew they sparkle and shine with a splendor so untrue

Bright white a sunbeam gleams across glass at last enticing the ice glitter and glow heavenly arrow float on by in a frozen sky the world can be old the world can be cold but in bright sunlight frozen glass shines outright a frosty enclosure calls for extra composure simple tricks we're optimistic remote we float on freeze and seas one with the sun over snow below stuck in reflections engulfed in light pure and clean the surface is right entrapped you hide tethered and tied steal the chance to glide and above reside pursue what's true purity and virtue in a whiter hue is a fresher view the lights are on everywhere beneath the ice, you're stuck downstairs

We've got bluer skies and we have greener grass we're living on the other side, it's all lilies and sassafras I'm holding onto you, love, you're holding onto me we're free from all the push and shove drifting in an eternal sea puppy eyes and little white lies we sit beside the world and hide longing laughs and photographs a music staff for my better half peace of mind is what we find when what's defined is undermined dancing shoes and last week's blues simple things to choose to refuse the sunshine is our ally and the rain just keeps us cool simple bliss that money cant buy looking out at the fools shining smile and sparkling eyes, a hand to hold a hand we're living with our bluer skies the heart's sweet holy land puppy eyes and little white lies we sit beside the world and hide longing laughs and photographs a music staff for my better half peace of mind is what we find when what's defined is undermined dancing shoes and last week's blues simple things to choose to refuse lifetime for lovers freedom to feel the touch of the tender to realize what's real

Take a break now from living rest your weary eyes put your mind to sleep now cease your troubled cries let go of your sorrows abandon all of your fears don't worry about tomorrow just put an end to your tears fall into a dream let solemn sleep surround you on reality's seam only slumber's thoughts flow through and in the glory of victory you raised your glass a toast, is what you say to a troubled day passed but now it's completed the battle's over and won let your wounds be treated until the rise of a brand new sun fall into a dream let solemn sleep surround you on reality's seam only slumber's thoughts flow through moonlight midnight a celestial flight in my sight a hand so slight to a fist of might oh the things the things the things these dreams invite fall into a dream

You're always walkin across that golden bridge and I know that I am too slow my heart stirs, but my feet can't carry me any further You're just ahead of me but I'm a mile behind you Your hair is tossin, blowin in the wind catching rays of the sun's glow it's a mystery to me what's a dream or reality? I feel that shiver, knowing you're nearby and my tongue it just won't untie you smile I stand there wishing you'd stay a while you say hello to me wishing I could say I love you You walk, never turning I am hopeless, distant yearning and I think that, I am learning fight the feeling that keeps burning keeps on burning some liquid courage, I call you up one day just to see what I can say I hear, not a single ounce of fear coming through the wire it's coming through today I'm ready to find you You walk, never turning I am hopeless, distant yearning and I think that, I am learning fight the feeling that keeps burning keeps on burning

Another day flies by another day you're shy but time is my ally another day we'll see if it's just a friend you'll be or if there's more to you and me never really knew if this young love is true in the big, deep, blue ocean that I see in you now I can only try as the summer days do fly to catch your looking eye and then never say goodbye will you ever see that you matter so to me? that my love will never flee if you'd only just agree I could find peace of mind One and one is two all it takes is me and you with a new point of view we can make it pull through when I look up at the sky the stars would not deny the knot that we could tie the earth we could defy it's my one last plea just to hear you guarantee that most wonderful decree that you want to be with me I could find peace of mind

It's complicated was all the rain could say in it's sweet, coded rhythms tapped on the roof his head turned out the window witnessing the soggy scene soak up dryland and he know's that he can't fly She didn't know how much he loved her she never took the time to care he was lost in the bright white light when she caught him unaware just thinking he might die under it all we're subject to the rise and fall and when the earth sinks below the storm we'll find our own way too keep warm Vision gets obscured by the settling smoke that sleeps softly on jagged black rocks and ears can't hear through the chilling hiss of the tainted rain that feeds off the life of the flame his eyes turned to the sky it's complicated said the ground as it swelled up with the polluted drink life in puddles lept out of the earth to finish the frenzied flame and he can only cry

Lamplight brings a gentle glow to the quiet city below where occasional headlights flash like eyes or tiny, flickering fireflies people drift by like schools of fish companionship a worn out wish left behind in old park benches carvings buried in love's lost trenches storelights shut down life comes to close in a quiet town and we pack our things and go and the only way to grow is when you come to know that somebody somewhere is waiting for you to care and if you want to fly don't ever lose the sky don't let a cold stare catch you unaware under bridges are spraypaint tributes where rocks crumble under society's roots and in the slums a church's steeple is a beacon of hope for god's lost people a serene park is natures answer to filthy streets and drunken dancers a place where we can run and hide from the subway rails that we would ride and the only way to grow is when you come to know that somebody somewhere is waiting for you to care and if you want to fly don't ever lose the sky don't let a cold stare catch you unaware

The angel holds her hand lifts her off the ground her body lays where it will stay her legs begin to sway she opens her arms and learns to fly as the ambulance arrives “It’s a long way up to heaven” that’s what the angel said through the clouds sunlight lays a path to take them home floating in the sky they drift along not too far from another passerby but what about my family? and what about my friends? I’ll see them again at the end of the end Peter nods his head she gets to the gates as her mother waits to hold her in her arms In Loving Memory of Maddi Kiefer
