A Musical Interlude

Every so often we long to steal
To the land of what might have been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
He could be that boy.....I'm not that girl

Waiting/To fall apart/Waiting/And it all comes down/To you
I hear you calling/I know that voice/I hear you calling/I have no choice

All I've got tonight is static on a screen
But now the air is filled with confusion
We've replaced care with illusion
Come to your senses

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
Though its not easy to tell you goodbye
I've got to take a risk, take a chance, make a change
And breakaway

I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes, like puzzle pieces
True, it may seem like a stretch
But its thoughts like this that catch my troubled head
When you're away ...

How stupid could I be
A simpleton could see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
Love has made me a fool
Set me on fire and watched as I burned
Unable to speak except to cry out and wait for your answer
...Everything changes, everything falls apart...

How can you leave the past behind when it keeps finding ways to get to your heart?
It reaches way down deep and tears you inside out til you're torn apart - Rent!
How can you connect in an age where strangers, landlords, lovers, your own blood cells ******?
What binds the fabric together when the raging shifting winds of change
Keep ripping away?

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
Its time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes - and leap
Its time to try defying gravity...
So if you care to find me - look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately "Everyone deserves a chance to fly"
And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me, take a message back from me...

My suggestion is to keep your distance
Cause right now I'm dangerous...
And if my day keeps going this way I just might
Break something tonight.

For the first time ..... I feel wicked.

And some final words of wisdom, from Jonathan Larson...

Another Day, RENT
The heart may freeze, or it can burn
The pain will ease if I can learn
There is no future, there is no past
I live this moment as my last
Theres only us, theres only this
Forget regret, or live is yours to miss
No other path, no other way
No day but today
Theres only yes, only tonight
We must let go to know whats right
No other course, no other way
No day but today
I can't control my destiny
I trust my soul, my only goal
Is just - to be
Theres only now, theres only here
Give in to love, or live in fear
No other path, no other way
No day but today
