Bebe Ray

Cold concrete stones
Young, lifeless bones
People stare
Like they care
Lies from the hearts they own

Quickly
Closely
Step before the mirror
Let the wind
Press against you tears
Let the water
Release your fears
Hopefully someone can hear you
Soon

Big
Black
Box that imprisons her
Death
Shall
Come too near to her
Say a prayer
Like somebody cares
Lies of their hearts, cold and scared

Sadly
Madly
Step before the water
Dunk your head in
Come up to breathe
Hope
Death
Not two different concepts
Hopefully someone can hear

One
Two
Three
Six
Nine
Eleven
Twenty
Thirty-eight
Seventy-seven
One hundred

Happily ever after

Sitting and waiting
Nobody wants to come
That's okay with me
I just know that they're dumb
They don't know my talents
My skills, my dreams
They don't have a clue about
Anything to do with me.

I can sing,
Hum,
Play guitar
Dance,
Happily ever after
Flip,
Flop,
Nobody thinks I'll stop
But even when singing doesn't work,
The screen fades to black,
Happily ever after.

Harmony

During the few times when
Understanding people can
Come and sing about them
Kraziness isn't all that great when

Someone tips over a vase and
Of course they crash into a case of
Numbered collectibles, then
Gee, hold up, this isn't a very good example of harmony!

It's the DUCK SONG!

Laughter

One
Laughing joy
Two
Can rejoice
Three
Come to see us
Four
Laughing more
Five
And we come alive
Six
There's no broken heart we can't fix
Seven
We're close to heaven
Eight
The life we live is great
Nine
The world seems fine from
Ten
Clouds where we stand.

Lucy
Attempted to sing her song
Underneath her, others began to sing along
Girl keeps singing till her heart runs out
Having so much fun, one would never doubt that
The person singing never ceases to sing along
Even when her brain is a dry, empty drought
Really, truly wonderfully laughing they stand
Laughter

One
Person can change the world
Two
People have a baby girl
Three
People now in the family
Four
Out the door and they sing out of key
Five
Come to life, and they never cease
Six
Get kicks out of modern things
Seven
Go to heaven as they sing again
Eight
Can be great with the right direction
Nine
Begins to shine once she starts to laugh, and
Ten
Laugh along while the moments pass

Happiness

Holes in your jeans
A hoodie with torn sleeves
Purple sneakers
Parading across the bleachers
I like girls who
Never say never
Exist in the world
and never
Surrender
So that's my idea of
HAPPINESS

Miss Mary Lou

The girl walks
Nothing left to lose
Her head held high,
She has to choose

Why can't we all see things the same?
Instead of making her take the blame?
The ignorant people
Don't even care
All they can see
Is there's somebody there.

Miss Mary Lou
Looks down upon her life
From her throne, she's a terrible
Person and wife.
Miss Mary Lou,
Can you forgive us all?
We are the people
Who you're after.

The people passing
See her as queen
But they've never seen
How mean she can be.

The silly children
Have no idea
They go about their life
Without any fear

Miss Mary Lou
Looks down upon her life
From her throne, she's a terrible
Person and wife.
Miss Mary Lou,
Can you forgive us all?
We are the people
Who you're after

The girl walks
Nothing left to lose
