The Power And The Fault

The power surges through the line
And the fuse blows
It's my circuitry 
And God knows
I've done all I can 
To keep the ship steady
Wait for the moment 
When I am ready
But I am pushed out, out
Beyond my cave of fear
And my web of doubt
Be Present, shine
And when you do, reflect some of mine
I searched tomes
And stayed home
For fear of my awesome strength
Then wonder at weakness and where it all went
When the wind blew in a storm
And I wondered why it wasn't warm 
As the lightning cracked
And the thunder wondered why you can't take it back
Once the lesson is learned 
And the bridge has been burned
And cured of all its rope
When do you begin to hope
When the crush is all that you know
And people you love won't let you go
To lead your own life
Only visions of derision and being a wife
To some also ran 
Because I can
Can simply not
See the weather that time forgot
In it's oceanic hue 
It wasn't right but I still choose you

Own What’s Mine

There was a panic at the disco when I walked in
And I threw my coke at the guy who flashed me a grin
And grabbed my ass
Without ever thinking to ask
Me for the time of day
Hey, bro it’s not okay
And I’m more than forests green
I’m much more than I may seem
And someday in the starshine
I will come to really own what’s mine
