I need to share my feelings but I can't express them they are about secret things that no one can know but I need to express my emotions so I will through Tom Waits.



Everything You Can Think

Everything you can think of is true Before the ocean was blue We were lost in a flood Run red with you blood Nigerian skeleton crew Everything you can think of is true The dish ran away with a spoon Dig deep in your heart for that little red glow We're decomposing as we go Everything you can think of is true And fishes make wishes on you We're fighting our way up dreamland's spine With red flamingos and expensive wine Everything you can think of is true The baby's asleep in your shoe Your teeth are buildings with yellow doors Your eyes are fish on a creamy shore.

No One Knows I'm Gone

Hell above and heaven bellow All the trees are gone The rain makes such a lovely sound To those who are six feet under ground The leaves will bury every year And no one knows i'm gone Live me golden tell me dark Hide from Graveyard John But the moon is full here every night And I can bathe here in his light The leaves will bury every year And no one know I'm gone

I'm Still Here

you haven't looked at me that way in years you dreamed me up and left me here how long was i dreaming for what was it you wanted me for you haven't looked at me that way in years your watch stopped and the pond is clear someone turn the lights back on i'll love you till all time is gone you haven't looked at me that way in years but i'm still here
