"Outside the Box"

I live outside the box--
No walls confine me.
And when I think outside the box--
I finally feel free.

And when I step outside the box--
I can be who I want to be!
My mistakes are my mistakes--
And they don't define me!

"Let the Glass Break"

Let the glass break--
Shatter and all.
I mean, who cares?
Once you fall.

Let the glass break--
Watch it scatter in pieces.
I try to stop the pain--
But it never ceases.

Let the glass break--
Who really cares?
I look around--
And there's no one there.

Let the glass break--
Shatter and all.
And watch them all stare--
As I stumble and fall.

"Cut Out My Heart"

Cut out my heart and just bleed me dry.
I'm sick of the pain if you want to know why.

Cut out my heart and just let it bleed.
Maybe after that I can start to breathe.

Cut out my heart and bury it in the ground.
'Cause after it's out, I don't want it to be found.

"Behind My Smile (Earth Quakes)"

Behind my smile--
Is a heart that breaks.
Behind my soul--
Is a spirit that aches.
And behind my world--
Is an earth that quakes.

"Finding the Right Place"

I know that everything happens for a reason--
But it doesn't make it hurt less.
I guess we are all just puzzle pieces,
Just waiting to be fit in.
And some pieces are left out,
Some pieces are misplaced,
And some pieces are just temporary--
Until they find the right place.
