- Dear Charlotte
Memory conveys that you were something to be
When you weren't held captive in an aged body
You had a family that needed you and job security
You had everything a man could ever need
But where did your children go? Where is your family?
Did they turn into the adults that you always hoped they'd be?
Did you finally retire from that job that tortured you?
I thought all your dreams had come true
- Divorce
She's breaking up, she's falling down
She's holding her fists up now
Her eyes meet my face but we don't look the Same
She walks away, on bloody knees
Her swollen face hides her tears
My mind strains for words but my tongue won't obey
You're just a shadow now of the girl I used to know
- Lullaby
And though my sermon salts the air
My ears are soon left empty, silence still holds dominion
Words once adorned are now laid bear
Unpolished lumps of nothing, so much unheard opinion
Silence now dill, Hush now be still
All is at ease, Rest now 'n peace
Come now sleep
- The Mistake of Caring
Without hope, drowning in misery
I couldn't help but notice you and take some sympathy
So I tried to give you a helping hand,
but somehow you wound up taking more than I had ever planned, and now it seems;
For all the messes that I made,
I was never afraid of sharing
But you took all that you could take,
