This Cocoon

Masks 05:34
Maggie was a tomboy She re-defined a girl and made her mama crazy She tried to mold her to her world Ah, the tough girl Would learn how to dress and sit still Ah, the one girl Would learn to live two different lives Of love, of fear Michael liked good music And had a way with a needle and thread He wanted to meet a man who could dance So he went to the world wide web A lonely man looking for a friend Becomes a target for them And he meets his end instead Ah, the news man So callously read the report Spent his last birthday Surrounded by family and friends on life support Chorus All life is sacred Blessed and meant to be Divinely created Through us, divinity speaks There's no thought process To love unconditionally So listen to you heart and not to the hate They say that all men are made equal A gift from our maker above It’s hard to believe after all we’ve achieved There are laws that forbid any love Chorus

Tell Me 03:10
This is my life Reaching out from the inside Where I hide Who am I Without you to bend my mind Lay yours on mine Chorus So tell me Why does it hurt so bad Whenthose who are closest to me Are pushing to pull me back I just wanna love you Why can’t it be alright A new sunrise And a different glow in me A silver key Opening me To the luscious pain of love And the change to come Chorus So tell me Why does it hurt so bad When those who are closest to me Are pushing to pull me back I just wanna love you Why can’t it be alright

Let It Go 02:39
Let the wind blow down the trees let the clouds be full of the storm and then when I finally lay down let me sleep let the fantasy take me there then the cold hand of reality win and then let me choose what will hurt "I'll never be my hearts victim again I'll hear the warning and run I'll never stand by and watch my walls crumble I'll never let myself go..." let the time pass memories fade let it all be part of the past and then when I lock it away I'll keep the key

Made it Home 04:15
I'm driving in the dark waiting for the sun to rise its the last day of summer feel like the only one still inside slow down driving way too fast I'll get there soon enough I'm just ready to do this wanna fly all the way to the sun When you're finally home will you find me gone don't cry little one little one I'm not the same as I once was Made it home OK I guess Now I'm here all alone chasing my demons everyday want to get away want to fly away want to make it OK make it OK What am I but what I expect of myself all alone in my head I unravel my thread and what I find are all seeds of mine I've left behind grown out of control now its time to re-sow don't it make it all worthwhile
5.
Sometimes I Can’t fit in to this skin I’m way too high Don’t want to be back in So I wake up slowly And take it only for a while And later I’ll smile Cause my wounded heart Will run away I tell myself I’ll end this pain So call me on A better day And maybe I won’t feel this way Sometimes I Can’t say what I’m feeling Its spread out too wide And I’m never through dealing With expectations As I first made them And who am I hurting now The answer as I look down And my wounded heart… Will run away I tell myself I’ll end this pain Sometimes I Wish things could be different But I found out why We never could make it Cause love would not leave me Like you did so easily Now that you’re gone I can see Now that you’re gone I am free And my wounded heart Will heal the pain I’ll find myself And begin again So call me now Or anyday Cause baby I Don’t feel the same

This Cocoon 03:46
The Crazy Part is my crazy heart tried to fight it But your full moon eyes in a midnight sky made a light of it Here we are come this far in spite of it We got the two like minds so if I loose mine you can find it Chorus There is love at the center of each moment with you and the world moves in circles all around this cocoon there is music and laughter and the search for our souls and a beautiful purpose in the way that we move You give me butterflies like the sunrise and your looking good in your levi's can't handle it And you got my hand if you crash land into quick sand I'll pull you out of it and if you go you wanna know if you go alone No no no, no no no cause baby when you're far from me I feel you laughing inside of me its a funny thing Chorus

More to Me 05:07
There's Far more to me than meets the eye I'm distracted by what's slipping by unnoticed in my mind There's Far more to me Than I can hide Emotion shapes with hidden hands my countenance I strive to give some semblance that I'm in control I tried to move along but it was oh so very strong the pull of my keys something had gone wrong if you did through my old songs I was very sad indeed but what would i say with my last breath say to you before I leave And what would I say if I was the last one standing, to god There's far more to me than I've been making All I need is to believe and manifest just allow and not resist but what would i say with my last breath say to you before I leave And what would I say if I was the last one standing, to god

Shadow 04:58
Morning and the sky is still dark I look up and my shadow is staring back at me How long must I wait how long will it take to heal Winter wind is ripping through my heart and rearranging the way I put things down How bad will it hurt and how hard will it be to leave Im off to bed no turning back the wine will help me sleep tonight the pain is melting into, melting into dream I can look in you like I look into a mirror and the more I do the more I see myself clearer and Vesuvius has buried us in a moment in time and when they dig us out they’ll try to figure out what was ever on our mind in that time morning ad the sky is blue light i look up and my shadow is no where i can see
