I am just a leaf in the wind.
There's no relief
From this life.
Life is so cruel.
So you see,
The pain,
It's maddening.
I'm sick and dying of all these troubles.
It's just... Oh, it's just nothing at all.
Life's so cruel.
We're just fates' tools.
It makes me so emotional.
Emotional...
I'm givin' up the ghost.
So emotional...

I want to go out with my friends,
unplagued by emotions.
Oh Lord please grant me this wish.
All others please dismiss.
I like not thinking about every freaking thing that I do.
Yes I am an automaton.

I chased you for a while, while.
But I noticed you fled.
I could not keep up; I tried to pick up the pace.
But you just kept running away.
So I realized why even try?
You would soon forget me anyway.
But I wanted to believe a lie.
Victoria, I promised you I'd write;
I'd write--It's a sad song, sad, sad song!
I hope you like it!
'Cause I don't...

1, 2, 1234!
Well, she's got the brightest eyes
And I've got the darkest skies
And I cannot think straight.
She's got her grip on me
and I'm freaking out.
I'm freaking out!
All that I knew about myself
Was the same as you.
Nothing! No nothing! At all!
This change in lifestyle,
Breath of fresh air,
You make me smile.
You make me smile!
My wild side, I never heard,
Out of its cave.
I'll stick to my word.
No, this ain't a love song baby
Because it means something.
These are not just words on a page;
I would like to call you my darling
Because I think I like you.
"And I'd kinda like to get to know you better. Grrl."

My cat died today, not that I care.
Just flesh and bones, tissue warm no more.
No rain outside today; should I care?
For bones and sinews? Weep no more.
No tears strike my face,
For a flower born and withered tomorrow.
A soul gone from this place,
From a creature forlorn--my heart is dead.
As I sing this song,
A cartoon comes on.
Singing right along.
Accompanied by drums.
He lays down dead and cold.
Beloved creature had his fun and now is done.
A stark contrast of pleasure and agony
Delicately resounded a bittersweet symphony.
And with harsh trumpets I see,
Is my cat a metaphor for me?

So I died today
A careless miscalculation
Sleight of hand
Took my breath away
As I lie inside my velvet bed
You cling to every word I said
The vague sense God gives but mostly takes
Is a feeling one cannot shake
Thoughts of me
A burning effigy
No one can put the fire out easily
It's okay to forget me
It's alright to forget me.
So I passed on
Unaware of flesh and bones
What a scene
Lost in the eon
As each tear comes painstakingly through
I just wish I could comfort you
To think of all life we shared
You'll never feel quite prepared
Fast moving car
Traveling like a fallen star
How am I so close and so far?
It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget
It's alright to forget
(So I'm gone)
It's alright to forget... me.

'The Hipster & Him'
Her name was Jessica
It meant lucky to him
She was beauty in a pageant
He hadn't seen her
In quite some while
Seated in his seat, he realized the freshness of life
With a sting of recognition,
He realizes she had given those thoughts to him
When she came back, it had the feel of a little tradition
She is the moonlight on a cloudless night
She is the delight of all his life
With her voice, she holds him captive
And with her hands, she gives her oath to him
The pageant queen
It was easy to see
Their eyes made contact thoughtfully
In a field,
In a meadow, a spring,
Same dream, he recalls the joy of youth
With a sting of recognition,
He realized he shared his dreams with her
When she left, it had the feel of a little tradition
She was the sunlight on a cloudy day
She was the delight of all his life
When you leave again, leave something of you with us
Remember the happiness of yesterday
Here's to the future!
Here's to the future.

Singing, singing, singing...
The world is cruel,
yes it is.
I found you my friend,
found myself a tool.
An instrument in some great machine;
this world I follow, so obscene.
Then you raised me to believe in love,
then everything fell from above.
You were the light.
You were the dream I was waiting for.
You were the light.
I waited behind the door.
You were, you were the light.
Believe in me, friend oh friend oh friend.
Give me something to believe in.
So I fell apart today,
I fell apart today, they say.
I screamed my lungs out.
Yes, I screamed and I shouted out loud.
I profess my love to you.
I profess my love for you.
Despite what society says,
I still am singing against,
Singing against...
Singing...
