Noisy

Chaos and clamor
Sounds of happy times
Nowhere else I'd be

find it here

The chaos and clamor of this life
Are sounds and madness of happy times
Where pandemonium reigns is where I live
And nowhere else I'd rather be

Lines I examine on my face
deep and true they run
so much laughter so much time
Yet I feel I've barely begun

One by one the days rush by
I grasp and often forget to breathe
And when I see the signs of years
The fear of death yet I won't yield

I wouldn't change a thing,
not a lucky day goes by
When I don't count such blessings
These sights, your smile

So don't come here to tell me
What lies ahead at twilight
Tales and scare stories won't
Dull this abundant heart's light

Confide

Words run on wild inside my head

Bursting to confide, thoughts, demands of you

So much to tell you of what you must know

But I seem to lose my will to say

You ask your question you shake your head

Perhaps we are tired of trying so hard

I fight so much I want to lay and rest

I let you walk on, something holds me back

I know if I speak I risk so much
I know I can't keep this all inside
So while I keep these ropes bound so
Sometimes the lava must escape

I don't ask for you to understand
How could you, I didn't let it on
I don't know how I can let this be
Perhaps someday I'll have the chance to tell
