Tiger

He's always lazing about
a very toothy smile without
while within is unadulterated fury
that tears his prey to shreds

With a mighty roar
the whole earth trembles
He is both deadly and beautiful
Don't screw with the tiger
he'll tear out your throat
The best you can ever pray for
is that the tiger might choke
but he's far to majestic
and he chews his victims with care

The tiger doesn't ask questions
like who you are or where
you're from
and he needs no one
The tiger is my fury
and he'll always be there

Rage

Rage
A caged tiger
That tears itself from my chest
Is constantly prowling
Just below the surface
So I don’t let anybody get too close
Cause it’s always on a rampage
Thrashing and writhing
And constantly fighting
To make its escape
Nothing can quell its fury
And it’ll stay long after I’m buried
Cause the tiger never sleeps
He’ll never shed a tear
For all those he kills
The tiger doesn't care
He knows no fear

Who I Am

All those times when I told myself
That you didn't know me at all
they really come back to me
now that I can't recall
who I am or where I've been

All those times I was so sure
that you couldn't see me
they really come back
when I realize you're the only one
who can tell me who I am.

Cause we've walked down the same roads
under similar circumstances
we've learned things the hard way
and took way too many chances

and All those times when I told myself
That you didn't know me at all
they really come back to me
now that I can't recall
who I am or where I've been

The Things That I Can't Say

The things that I can't say
are the things that I write down
The words I can't stop penning
are the ones stuck in my mouth
Because emotions are always
so hard to describe
and poetry's so easy
for me to write
and sometimes you'll have
to read between these lines
to see
how I'm really feeling inside

Paths

Our lives have been two ever winding paths
sometimes going opposite directions
but always colliding at the strangest times
we always part on decent terms
as if by some odd chance we know
We'll always meet again
Seems like it's been that way forever
now suddenly I can't live without you
something deep inside me is reaching out
and it's like there never was a doubt
that we belong together
that our hands and our feet move as one
that our hearts and our souls beat together
I can't say "I love you" even though it feels like
those words are pulsing through my every vein
it feels like they're in every breath I breathe
the words "I miss you" ring true
and I can't miss anyone but you
However long we've got to be apart
I'll keep you in my heart
I'll keep fighting til we meet again
I refuse to die anywhere but in your arms
