To Mom (Let Me Say)

I know it feels like you need to tuck tail and run
To get away from everything under the sun
And would it hurt if you never took a breath
Do you wonder who would miss you even in death
Let me say
I know you fear the walls on either side
What have you done to deserve this roller coaster ride
And would it help to close your eyes to shade the drop
Open back up and see you are back on the top, then again...
Do you need to be some place but just can't get there
Disappear let it sink in that they just don't care
Let me say
I want you here for now and for ever more
No one, no one can ever give me more
I hope you know who you are
There are many, but you are my brightest star
Give it a moment and you will see
How much you mean to me

No More No Less

Funny how the deep end has no end
Get fitted the deeper I fall, open your eyes get away from it all
Who among us has the same face to which he was born
Clean sure, but another reborn, someone to fill in the spaces
Who runs fixed races soon to be alone... Looking to fill the tank to move again
Only to hit home, he is no less than me, share the role, move just to fill the hole.

No more no less
I only can do my best, my best
No home no rest
I only can search for rescue, for rescue
With my chest down, I face my tears
Redraw the shadows that covered just like you, the sun is here
No more no less, today I'll do my best

A simple smile can travel faster than a complex poem
Free to give free to understand and hold, and I don't even know him
But he means more to me, cause his light is now a tint brighter, let them see
A name is given a soul is crafted by His hands
Give just a name be forgotten, give your hand bring a restless mind to a standstill not forgotten
I can find a place here

No more no less
I only can do my best, my best
No home no rest
I only can search for rescue, for rescue
With my chest down, I face my tears
Redraw the shadows that covered just like you, the sun is here
No more no less, today I'll do my best

A beautiful melody is not achieved by one string
An encore is given by many who dream in tune
Make sense of it all, one mind given to all
Oh keep it playing, oh... keep on living, breakthrough it all

No more no less
I only can do my best, my best
No home no rest
I only can search for rescue, for rescue
With my chest down, I face my tears
Redraw the shadows that covered just like you, the sun is here
No more no less, today I'll do my best
