This song depicts the feelings of someone that has been abandoned. This song was written on January 19, 2005.

[X begin]
The pain of losing you
A life of missing you
A feeling of disdain
The fear of choosing you, again

I'm surrounded by your face
I'm hiding from disgrace
I'm nervous and I'm scared
I know things will never be the same
[X end]

[CHORUS begin]
I'm fighting
I'm hiding
I'm shutting myself down
I'm upright
Facing your might
But secretly, I'm crying
[CHORUS end]

[Repeat X]
[Repeat CHORUS twice]

The crime of loving you
The slime slung by you
Is that just my fate
Or my punishment
for the choices I made

Is it my destiny?
To be the one to try
And fail every time

Is that the vagaries?
Of the world inside
The world inside of me

A call for mutiny?
To show the way to me
Or to my progeny

Is this my destiny?
Is this my destiny?
Is this my destiny?

My Song: Rain

This song was written on January 4, 2005.

[X begin]
Seething rain
Barren, insane
Writhing in pain
As I am slain
[X end]

[Y begin]
Tongues are tied
Heavens have lied
Feeling has died
My soul has cried

Life has stalled
While I'm being mauled
I'm hearing the call
But I've taken the fall
[Y end]

[CHORUS begin]
My shallow heart
Has fallen apart
My timid soul
Has a gaping hole

My broken hands
Searching the lands
My shattered mind
Won't understand

I've fallen apart
Right at the start
I feel the rain
But this rain can't wash away my pain
[CHORUS end]

[Repeat X]
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat Y]
[Repeat CHORUS]
[Repeat X til fade]
