Dreamer
written by Avy Summerlind ©2006
dreamer keeps her going
dreaming keeps everything safe
straight lines keep everything in place
there, there is reason
forget the feeling
forget the feeling
if they repeat no one complains
if they repeat no one complains
if they repeat no one...
oh, but if I...
if I...
if I...
if I...
the sky will fall and crush us all

Crash & Burn
written by Avy Summerlind ©2006
going under
feel so sick
i want to know
is it really worth it
on and on and on and on i go
am i getting any closer
on and on and on to what i don’t know
but i’ll take any answer
motion me forward
i stay stuck
am i just frozen
or have i already given up
on a long ride getting nowhere
and everyone looks happier
over there
so why am i still standing here
gone so fast
i’m losing control
they say i’ll learn
when i can learn to let it go
but oh i feel i’m headed for the wall
why do i always need a crash & burn to break my fall
why can’t i be light as a feather
why can’t i just fall together
i'm always breaking apart

No Believer
written by Avy Summerlind ©2004
i’m the closest thing to imperfection
so i choke on my desire
i don’t think it’s a fascination
to fight the flame for the fire
you say you believe in me,
but i’m no believer
i need a place to put my need,
but i like the fear
'cause it’s so safe
quick to judge,
then i come undone
'cause i have everything to hide
i fight to feel, but i stay so numb
i bored myself to death and died
you say you believe in me
but i'm no believer
i need a place to put my need,
but i like the fear
'cause it’s so safe
it’s so safe
it’s so safe
it’s so safe
so safe
so safe

Quiet Desperation
written by Avy Summerlind ©2006
there’s no hollywood
i’m immune
it’s like letting go with no line
just another everyday
everything looks so real
that it’s fake
can’t figure out this life
it’s the sadness that i like
it’s what makes me happy
does that make me crazy
maybe i’m really invisible
i drown in my drink
i’m in love
you tortured it out of me
i can’t feel
i’ve lost feeling
everyone’s here
it’s just me that’s missing
i’m out before i ever begin
breathing just a quiet desperation
what the world needs now
is a bigger thing
better than me
for someone so wrapped up
you’d think i’d push back
do you think i’d get away with that
i can’t feel
i’ve lost feeling
say what i mean
i don’t mean anything
i’m out before i ever begin
breathing just a quiet desperation
for the sweet and unhappy

The Give Up
written by Avy Summerlind ©2006
you live
you love
am i the only one
afraid of what’s to come
you’re so free from
what will happen next
all done and said
i’ll break here before i become
the walking dead
just medicate
the day to day
away
i can’t feel the sun
i can’t feel the sun
i’m left here in cold, cold indecision
to pick myself up
or embrace the ground
and stay down
to pick myself up
or embrace the ground
and stay down
a happy end
is that too much
i’d trade you
but you’re better off
with a moment just
to come up for air
get me out of here
i can’t feel the sun
i can’t feel the sun
i’m left here in cold, cold indecision
to pick myself up
or embrace the ground
and stay down
