Nothing

I want to be the nothing
That you don't see but know it's there.
The blank on the page or the hole in the wall
The useful part of a window

I want to be the nothing
Live and die unseen but forever in the heart
That warmth of the sun or the cool of the breeze.
The useful part of the burning wood

I want to be the nothing
In which you gaze in wonder for unknown reasons
The space between or the reflection of hope.
The breath you hold when love takes your heart.

I want to be.

That's the Way

I'll claw out my eyes today
 I want to see the world this way.
I'll tear out my heart today,
 everytime you walk away.
I can see the reason,
I can see the rhyme
 but I cannot understand just why this music can't be mine.

So I'll sing out the words today,
that's just what I need to say
I''ll dance with the earth today,
It taught me to move this way.
I don't know the meaning
 I don't have the time
I'll write my words across the sky
 hope that they will shine.

So I'll give out my love today
it was never mine to stay,
I'll let go of pain today ,
it was fiction anyway.
Dance across the moonlight
 singing to the wind.
The voices carry far and wide after life has spent.

So I'll live out my life today because that's the way
That's the way.
