Breathless

be heard.... Breathless

i haven't seen the place you know
of cool lines of air
i don't believe that the weight of love is fair
woven before my hands
i know that i understand
true love
and who i am

you care whether or not you see
in the ways that i can
but you don't want to hear
you don't want to hear

so i'm running away alone
and dream of all the things i'll have
i'm gonna run to the place i hoped
most would never know

i never seem to open up
the way i really can
so i'm learning to speak while holding my breath

there is one thing dear
that you don't want to hear
it's always love
that you fear

so i'm running away alone
and dream of all the things i am
i gonna run to the place
i hoped most would never know

never seem to open up
in the way i really can
so i'm learing to speak while holding my breath....

Ride

during the "ride" of life... Ride

Hey friend
Have you been wholesome?
Do you drag around
The lowest words from your mouth?
On this ride, it doesn’t matter
Whether you give more than you lose
But to feel like the first time
Someone gave them self to you…

It’s funny how we let our goodness go
As we grow older and don’t understand
We want it all.
So tomorrow love me
And tomorrow never lie
For we’re growing up and holding on tight.

So you choose a side
Do you stay on it long?
Are you where you wished you were?
Inside it doesn’t matter
Where you pick up and you move
But to remember the first time
You had the right to choose..

Funny how we let our goodness go
As we grow older and don’t understand
We want it all.
So tomorrow love me
And tomorrow never lie
For we’re growing up and holding on tight.

Demonstration

experiencing the existence of the metaphysical realm... Demonstration

Kneel in the open
Lean my head to space
Align all the stars
And wait

For so much
Of what we can’t say
Is right here in a glorious daze

A tear from the opening sky
That seems so wrong
So wrong
It rights any wrong away

Demonstrate
The light where
We are afraid..

And it’s bright here
The light where we are amazed…

All the wise men

it's not about fear of commitment..there are other reasons... All the wise men

(Do you ever wonder what I’m holding out for?)
My mind holds the weight
Of our time and all that we
Said we’d save
The one you want who
Hasn’t given you
All the love you want your way

I can’t be the one who
Invites you
Then ties you
And try’s you
Then lies so truly
Lies so truly
The only way that honesty can

All the trials have never given you
All the wise men
All the wise men
All the wise men
All the wise..
..Do you ever wonder what I’m holding out for..

One way out

(troy)
January 01, 2005
Troy M Petty
how do you escape?... One way out

We gather up the stars
To measure in our hearts
Then pull aside the motion of flight
As one way out
One way….

The meaning of a fool
Who never reaches doubt
Has the longest way
To be proud
And one out
One way…


Troy M. Petty - 2003
