lost in my dreams
lost over here
falling asleep
to not face my fears
dreaming out loud
the inner shows out
and I can't protect
all that seems dear

and nothing that we want
falls easily into our arms
for we should learn to fight
though I wish I had figured it out
'cause my heart takes every turn
guess it still hasn't learned
that my head is too slow
to follow
  
lying awake
reflecting mistakes
writing a song
to carry along (along long long)
living a life
build upon lies
foundation is frail
ready to bail

Lots to learn

i bore to you a houndly frolic,
every rise and fall,
my backwords barkened by the rollick,
unheedy my call,

you gouged my grip, in scented slip,
for every phantom sniff,
and all that was, was lost because,
of wandering what if,

I bore to you a houndly frolic,
every fall and rise,
where winter whittled worry,
and unheedy went my cries,

your absence cast my echo,
in collide-a-scope collapse,
and all that is, was fleeting fizz,
for petulant perhaps,

so you tottered in a circle broken,
down on widdershins,
to engrave what must be left unspoken,
save by bitter grins,
upon the insides of my eyelids,
whence now even shorn and shuttered,
doth the vision of derision,
that the bitter grins have muttered,
cast it's kindling, sharp and spindling,
on the clenching of sightlesson,
so I'm sealing every feeling,
just to keep my keep from guessing,

Hello, my name is Karlien. I have played the piano since I was 8, the guitar since I was 16 and I have been singing for as long as I can remember.

Lots to learn
