Poison Tree 03:45
I was angry with my friend; I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. And I waterd it in fears, Night & morning with my tears: And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles. And it grew both day and night. Till it bore an apple bright. And my foe beheld it shine, And he knew that it was mine. And into my garden stole, When the night had veild the pole; In the morning glad I see; My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

Wake up every morning, Going through the day, Doing all your dutys, Working mechanically Like everyone expects you to You decide how they want And how i'ts right. But what you really want to do is Scream out all your fears, Tell the world your sorrows Not hold them back Not hide them anymore So break through all the fences Blow up your chains Don't let them hold you back.

Come, walk with me, There’s only thee To bless my spirit now – We used to love on winter nights To wander through the snow; Can we not woo back old delights? The clouds rush dark and wild They fleck with shade our mountain heights The same as long ago And on the horizon rest at last In looming masses piled; While moonbeams flash and fly so fast We scarce can say they smiled – Come walk with me, come walk with me; We were not once so few But Death has stolen our company As sunshine steals the dew – He took them one by one and we Are left the only two; So closer would my feelings twine Because they have no stay but thine – ‚Nay call me not – it may not be Is human love so true? Can Friendship’s flower droop on for years And then revive anew? No, though the soil be wet with tears, How fair soe’er it grew The vital sap once perished Will never flow again And surer than that dwelling dread, The narrow dungeon of the dead Time parts the hearts of men -‚

Like a desert without water I'm longing for the rain Searching for a resting That I will never get That I may not even think about So I leave my hands in my pocket Me and my hands Together we will make it through Me and my hands We'll get this hurricane go low I will hold them back From taking this pill This shaking it will stay Never get near the waterfall The hunger still unsatisfied My hands I lay down in my lap Staying nice and calm Waiting for the never coming end Me and my hands Together we will make it through Me and my hands We'll get this hurricane go low I will hold them back From taking this pill

Alone 03:27
From childhood's hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then- in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life- was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view, Of a demon In my view.
