Metaphor

[Rachel]

Since it's been a while since I've been on, I've got five new ones today. Yeehaw!

Fruitcake this is about bouncing back after getting knocked around.

Dig my soul free
so the light of day can reach it
and espose the scars
carved deep so long ago.
Move your arms
to a twisted choreography
blown on the warm breeze
and think twice again.
It's more than hidden,
a light burning strong
buried beside my heart
keeping the darkness at bay.
You take the knife and wipe it clean
stick it in your own back.
You've long since learned
there's something in me
that you can't keep down.

Butt Naked This title will make sense, I promise.

when you went away
it was all I could do
not to pack up and leave with you
you said you'd be back someday
and I, I hope you hurry

//And now you're here
down on your knee
dancing naked on the front lawn
could never be as revealing
as saying I love you//

lying in bed at night
and wishing you were here
does nothing for my sanity. I fear
nothing can make it right.
my heart is numb

//And now you're here
down on your knee
dancing naked on the front lawn
could never be as revealing
as saying I love you//

bridge: no need to wait anymore,
you're here at my door
my heart has grown wings
opens its lips and sings

//And now you're here
down on your knee
dancing naked on the front lawn
could never be as revealing
as saying I love you//

It was Beautiful Inside Not much to say about this one...

I was your friend,
how could you leave again?
I was sorry to see you go.
I hope it's worth it
when you sell your soul.

//you couldn't get much for it anyway
but that's the price you have to pay
and once you've sold it,
the buyer won't care//

So you're moving back,
because you can't move forward.
It's not worth it anymore
in the end.
But I'd like to know, when was it ever?

//You couldn't get much for it anyway,
but that's the price you have to pay.
And once you've sold it
the buyer won't care//

Screaming voices in your head
silences what could have been.
It's been too long since
since I saw you, my friend.
Is there any way,
is there any hope for you
to be whole again?

bridge:it was worth more than what you got
just a modern day Lady of Shalott
You shouldn't have sold it,
it was so beautiful.

Never Left Home Ditto...

cold and lonely
naked, broken, and tired
of running from you
to run back is the least I can do

//Will you help me now?
I can't do a thing.
will you carry me now?
I don't have the strength
to carry on and make it home//

What now?
everything is broken.
Where is the light? Where is the sun
that used to shine on me?

//Will you help me now?
I can't do a thing.
Will you carry me now?
I don't have the strength
to carry on and make it home//

So I know now
I've never been alone.
I open my eyes and find I'm still in your arms
and I've never left home.

//Will you help me now?
I can't do a thing.
Will you carry me now?
I don't have the strenth
to carry on and make it home.//

Untitled I still can't figure out what to call this one...

Yesterday you went away
now I can't stay
here without you
I can't follow my heart
and Texas is in the way

//so don't mess with Texas
it just gets the best of us.
you can leave
but you'll always be back
giving that two-finger wave//

this won't last
put your feelings in the past
one foot in the grave
the other in tomorrow
and Texas is in the way

//so don't mess with Texas
it just gets the best of us
you can leave
but you'll alwyas be back
giving that two-finger wave//

and memories cause you pain
when you're caught in the rain
It won't be long
you want to feel forever
and Texas is in the way

//so don't mess with Texas
is just gets the best of us.
you can leave
but you'll always be back
giving that two-finger wave//

[Rachel]

Fall in line
Believeing in everything, I'm noping
that I can find something
that'll help me forget about you.
You thought I would be weak,
but you were wrong
and now it's your tears I seek

//so fall in line, I'll make you mine
It's only a matter of (one last) time
before you come undone
and wither in the sun//

I'll stop just short of
doing what you did to me
but don't you worry my love,
I'll be sure to let you breathe
after I tear out your heart.

//so fall in line, I'll make you mine
It's only amatter of (one last) time
before you come undone
and wither in teh sun//

It's come full circle again
since everything was broken
by words you hadn't spoken
It's hight time you paid for your sin

Bridge:"sorry" won't get you anywhere
when you weren't the one who cared

//so fall in line, I'll make you mine
it's only a matter of (one last) time
before you come undone
and wither in the sun//

Walking Wounded

//We are the walking wounded
bleeding pain until we're gone//

shoot us with their words
carve insults on our backs
they're too afraid to speak
and too afraid to care

//we are the walking wounded
bleeding pain until we're gone//

digging our graves with turned shoulders
drag us thought the streets
to make themselves feel better
afraid to see the pain they've caused
and afraid to feel human

//we are the walking wounded
bleeding pain until we're gone//

What they can't see is
that no one is perfect
but, oh love, it feels nice
to believe in the American Dream
that we're too afraid to live

//we are the walking wounded
bleeding pain until we're gone//

And as long as we're too afraid to speak,
too afraid to care,
too afriad to see pain,
too afraid to feel human,
and too afraid to live,
we will always be what

//we are the walking wounded
bleeding pain until we're gone//

Bloody Fingers and Broken Hearts

Too much was left unsaid,
but the memories will last
longer than any moment
and longer than any pain

//It's too late for us, my dear
so manyt things are unclear
Who know if time will heal
our bloody fingers and broken hearts//

There was never enought time
for us to say what was needed,
and now there's no time left
for us to say anything at all

//It's too late for us, my dear
so many things are unclear
Who knows if time will heal
our bloody fingers and broken hearts//

No jury will pass judgement
on all the mistkaes we've made
for we've done that enough ourselves.

//It's too late for us, my dear
so many things are unclear.
Who knows if time will heal
our bloody fingers and broken hearts//

Too much was left unsaid
but the memories will last
longet than any moment
and longer than any pain

//It's too late for us, my dear
so many things are unclear
Who knows if time will heal
our bloody fingers and broken hearts//

Too much was left unsaid
too much was left unsaid

[c-girl]

>^.^< Coolies! I really like them Rachel. Can't wait to see more!

[Rachel]

Yay! I'm glad you like them, Cgirl.

She's so lonely in her head
thinks she'd be better off dead
and drags the razor across her wrist
she barely believes there's better than this

//ANd she cries when she sees
YOu've taken her scars as Your own
and give her love like no love on Earth//

My heart know what's right,
but my mind blurs my sight
and I fall broken on my knees
watch amazed as You take on these

//And I cry when I see
YOu've taken my scars as Your own
and give me love like no love on Earth//

He destroys himself with Mary Jane
since he met her her hasn't been the same
sick on the floor from withdrawl
Oh God, he's sick of it all

//And he cries when he sees
You've taken his scars as Your own
and give him love like no love on Earth//

It's hard for them to see we're free
harder still to see how we can believe
after all that we've been though
we've found life with You

//And we cry when we see
You've taken our scars as Your own
and give us love like no love on earth//
