Take A Sad Song, And Make It Better

I Don't Mean To Sound Lonely
It's There When I Need It
The World's Such a Great Place
Am I The Only One Who Feels It

Look Outside, The Sun is Shining
The Rain's Not Falling Too Hard
You've Got So Much Too Love
And It's in all in the beautiful part

Isn't it Lovely?
The Sun is shining round
Isn't it Lovely?
Hear The Wonderful Sound
Of The World, The
Perfect One We Got

I Don't Think to Know
But I Do Know Me
I Know My Light
You Can't See

Isn't It Lovely?
The Sun is Shining Round
Isn't It Lovely?
Hear the Wonderful Sound
Of The World, The
Perfect One We Got

When That Sound Hits
My Ears, I Can Feel It's Right
It's All Right

You Flock To
The One Thing Your Missing
I've Got Nothing Sung
Nothing To Relate
I Can't Stand Still

But Look,
At The Hands holding me up
I'll Stand Back Up
I'll Stand Back Up

Isn't It Lovely?
The Sun is Shining Round'
Isn't it Lovely?
Hear The Wonderful Sound
Of The World, The
Perfect One We've Got

Count Every Beatiful Thing We Can See

You know, I think that we expect too much in life.

I'm only thinking. But maybe it is because we expect things, from every situation, every conversation, every person, everything. Maybe that is why we get upset, because our expectations rarely ever line up with reality.

But ha ha ha, expectations coming true, are not even the moments that make us happy! How could they? They were "expected". Only natural. Our Expectations hardly ever come true, and that depresses us. But ha ha ha, I was just thinking, when our expectations don't come true, that's what makes us the most happy.

We don't expect to fall in love. We just do. We don't expect to run into our friend we haven't seen in forever. We just do. I didn't expect you to call, but you did, and that made all the difference in the world.

We don't expect, when we go out for a walk, to remember it forever. But We Do. We don't expect, to forget some things that we think matter. But we do.

The point, however naive it may be, is that life is unexpected. You can never guess what's going to happen next, and perhaps you shouldn't try. Just enjoy all these wonderful things you didn't expect. And when something you don't expect happens that makes you upset? Just wait. Tomorrow something wonderful will happen, even though you don't expect it. It always does.

Accept Happiness. Life can never be figured out. But all the things we don't expect, are what makes our heart jump, makes us smile, and makes us sing. Nothing ever goes completely as planned. And that's okay. Love is not planned, and life is not planned. Sing in the rain, and dance in the sun. Play in the snow, and cozy up by the fire. It will all be all right. It always is. Even if you don't expect it to be. :)

Simple, isn't it? :)

Gaze On

I Want to Stand on A Peak
And Scream Out
And Break Those Sounds
Like Thunder

I Want To Run
So No One Can See Me
So I Can Be Forever All At Once
Like Lightning

I Want To Fly
So I Can See The Sky
So I Can Look Past Myself
Like An Angel

I Want To Lay In The Field
So I Can Still Remember
So You Can Look At Me Like You Did
Like Love

I Want To Star Gaze
So I Can Embrace the Universe
So it's Not So Threatening
Like A Star

But Mostly
I Want to Hear Music
I Want to Hear The World
As To Forget It

I Want To Hear Music
Like Angels Singing
So I Can Gaze On
And Feel Nothing

The Speck of Sand

What a King I am. I looked over my kingdom and I felt how great I was. "I am the king of the world, everyone bows down to me!" I thought. I looked at the peasants and the commoners, I looked at my knights who fight my battles for me. I looked at my endless kindgom, which seemed to never end. And I was proud. I was the King of Everything. Nothing was above me.

It was nightfall, and I was tired. I laid myself down on my bed, to fall asleep. But suddenly, light came over me, and I was not sleeping. I looked around, and I could see that I was on a beach, a long beach, which seemed to go on forever. I asked myself, "what is this?". And as I said this, I started to walk. And as I started to walk, the most peculiar thing started to happen. I was getting smaller, and smaller and smaller, with each step.

"What is happening? What is the purpose of all this?" I said. So I stood still, in hopes to no longer shrink. But it happened, all the same. I got so small that I could no longer see the water over the sand, and smaller still I got. I closed my eyes in terror, I didn't want to see it. But I could feel it, feel all my self getting smaller still. I opened my eyes. I was smaller then the sand itself, they appeared to be huge boulders at this size. "No!" I yelled. "Where's my kingdom, where's my castle, where is my bed??". But nothing changed. I still got smaller. And then the most curious thing happened. As I looked down at the sand speck I was standing on, it seemed to engulf me. I was going inside the speck of sand, and I did not see what I expected.

As the speck engulfed me, the sand speck became the world which I saw. I was inside the speck of sand, and I knew that. But it seemed so much larger than that on the inside, it was a world like ours. There were villages and cities, and people. And I was shrunk down to the size of a person in that world, and was put in one of the villages.

"Excuse me" I asked the nearest person (or sand.. person) nearest me. "What is exactly is this place?"
"This is Hyerstown, sir. Why, were you looking for something?"
"Hyerstown? I would like to get back to England, if you please."
"England? I've never heard of such a place, however, if you go ask of the king, he will be able to lead you where you want to go."
"The King? I am the king!"
"Of what kingdom?"
"My Kingdom. I'm the king of England!"
"Ah, the place you can't get back to. Well, it seems awful unfortunate that you are the king of the place you can't find, but if you are so, go find the King."
"Yes, well, where is the King?"
"He is just straight down this road. Huge Castle. Can't miss it."
"Yes thank you."

I knew I was in a speck of sand. That knowledge had not left me, though hard it was to realize. For the world I was in looked so real, just like ours. I thought "What an unfortunate king he is, he's only the king of sand! A king of effectively, nothing!"

And I walked towards the castle, I felt very proud. For here I was, the king of England, The King of the british empire, the king of the world. And here he was, the king that resides in the castle, the King of nothing. I knew this. He may not, but I did. I went forward with pride.

I got the castle. I entered without hesitation, despite it's enormous size. I followed the signs to the King. And I went right up to his throne with my question.

"Excuse me, but how do I get our of here?" I asked
"I am 'Your Highness' to you, villager, and pray, out of where?"
"Out of this village, out of this speck of sand."
"To get out of this village, you must walk out. Question finished, next?"
"NO! I want to get out of this world, I want to go back to England!"
"England? Such a place does not exist. And you cannot get out of the world, it is the world. There is nothing more to see, fool."
"You don't understand. I am the king. The King of everything. You are just a king of a little speck of sand on one of MY beaches. And I am ordering you to get me out of here!"
"No, perhaps you don't understand. I am the king of everything, and you are just a villager in MY Kingdom. And I am ordering you to leave!"

As he said this guards came and pulled me out. I didn't understand, did he not know he was a king of nothing? Did he not know that he was worthless, to all but this people who did not really exist? I laughed. What a fool he was. I was the king of everything, of the whole world. The real world. He's just the king of sand.

And as I said this, I found myself on my pillow. "My Bed!" I screamed. I was back in my castle, back in my bedroom, in MY world! I was so happy. And I went out in on the balcony to soak in my world. The world that I own, the world that I am the one and only king of. "That, that's Mine. And that's MINE. And that, and that, and everything!" I yelled out to the world.

But then I looked up at the sky and said "I own you to!". I smiled, I owned everything. But.. I saw the stars. And I thought "Do I own them to?". And then I thought, "Of course I do!". But then I realized.

I looked up at the stars, and I looked up at heaven. I thought, what am I, to heaven? Am I not just the king of a speck of sand? I am that king. The king of the speck. The king of nothing.

Topping the Billboard

Deli Dan wants a cracker
Yes, he really does.
He wants one to eat. To eaaaatt!!

But Bob. Bob Brown Says NOOOO!
Bob brown, why?
Why, bob brown?
Poor Dan. Poor Dan.
(Repeat 4x)





What is that? The worst song, if it was one, ever written. BUT WAIT! If we just ask Lil' Wayne to come rap in the middle of it and say "Gotta feel your love" or "Angel eyes"... Then it will be number one on the Billboard Chart! YES! Thank you Lil' Wayne, for making the world a place where the worst artists in the business, can get number one hits. All we need is your irresistible, fake, auto tuned voice. Call wayne. He'll make it juicy for ya.

Take that Billboard. Guess who just told you?

Nightmares


I had those nightmares again
Yes the ones that come true
I'd tell you about them
I'd tell you that I'm scared

I'd tell you about them
And you'd say they won't come true
But that's what you said last time
And they did.
Oh they did so much worse.

Give me a reason to trust you
To come back to you
I do anyway
And I don't know why

I know your so beautiful
Your an angel, sometimes
But you broke my heart
You caused me so much pain

Sit on the dock of the bay
With him?
Why not with me?
Star gaze. Star Gaze.
Just me and you.

Save me from the nightmares
Or I can't stay
I can't go through it again
I can't go through one more tear

I would tell you about them
But you would say what you said before
Or you wouldn't care
Or you wouldn't care

You know I feel lucky
to even know you sometimes
And sometimes I feel
Like I should just leave, run away

I had those nightmares again
And they scare me into tears
But don't let reality
Don't let reality
Become
Nightmares
