The Right Things

All the right things that we need to say
at the right moment seem to fade away
So instead of being special just for one day
we should live life just like that in each and every way
All the feelings that we feel someone else feels too
At the right moment I can feel what you do
So think of each other as we do what we do
You think of me and I think of you
Then all the right things that we need to say
at the right moment can just fade away
For we've lived every moment so special
and lived life just like that in each and every way.

The Messenger

If I could fly
I’d fly away
I’d fly away
today
Fly away
Only to return
Only on the day
That I can return
With the word
The word to be heard
and a message I bring
You will judge me
crown me king
Make an example of me
Use me
Like so many before
But remember that
when you kill the messenger
he speaks even more
If I had the nerve
I’d just close the door
lock the gate
on this episode of my life
But every day I struggle
and the strife
is worse than the day before
A tongue-tied witness
unable to speak
wants to speak so much more
I didn't ask to be picked
I don't want to do this anymore
My fatal attraction
is what I believe
and the message I bring
It’s for these words I must die
If I could, I’d go home
I’d meditate
Turn to stone
If I could fly
I’d fly far away
I’d fly far  away from my home
Only returning
With the word
The word you may have already heard
Will you judge me again
recrown the king
long may he reign
Make an example of me
Use me
Like you did before
Remember
when you kill the messenger
he speaks even more
I close my eyes
I wish, I hope
and I pray
That this would go away
If I had the nerve
I’d just close the door
lock the gate
But every day
Is worse than the day before
A tongue-tied witness
unable to speak
wants to speak so much more
My fatal attraction
is what I believe
it’s why I must die
it's why I must leave
I can't do this anymore.
