Jena's Rants
Someone else's words, nothing to see, so don't look here.
Under the shadows, forbidden and hot
Desire grows, more often than not
I'm sorry's a stupid thing to say
Especially considering it's not like I planned it this way
But I'm sorry is all that there is left of me
I'm so sorry this love made me hollow and left you empty
Maybe I could have loved you better
Maybe you should have loved me more
Maybe our hearts were just next in line
Maybe everything breaks sometime
Everything breaks sometime
It's hard to believe its boiled down to this
It seems so surreal this won't be healed by a kiss
It's hard to stare at you knowing you like I have
I used to feel so close, now I feel so bad
My heart's filled with thunderstorms and I'm ready to burst
And I've lost my favorite harbor and I'll weather for the
worst

If you see me speak without words
Know that I am speaking of the wind
And if you see my words like wind
know that soft tongues cut through stone
And if you see my words like stone
Know its wisdom lies in silence
and if you see my wisdom in silence
Then with you I will always be
And if you doubt my true love is true
Just see how you have no chains upon your hands
And if you see you wear no chains
You are free like poor men
And if you see your freedom in being poor
(How pleased you'll be with the treasure of your mind
And if you're pleased with the treasure of your mind
Then with you I will always be
And if you wonder how it is that I am
Just watch the sun set slip away
and as you watch that sun slip away
know some things are better left unseen
And if you know things are better left unseen
then night shall carry you in her arms
and if you see I carry you in my arms
Then with you i will always be
With you I will always be

Inside my skin
There is this space...
It twists and turns
It bleeds and aches
Inside my heart
There's an empty room.
It's waiting for lightning;
It's waiting for you
I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear
Muscles and sinew
Velvet and stone...
This vessel is haunted
It creaks and moans
My bones call to you
In a separate skin.
I make myself translucent
To let you in, boy...
I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here
Inside the absence of fear
There is the splendor of this
Secret inside of me
And it knows that you're no stranger,
You're my gravity
My hands will adore you
Through all darkness, and they will
Lay you out in moonlight
And vent your name
For I am wanting, and...
I am needing you
To be here...
I need you near...
Inside the absence of fear.

Cuttin' through the darkest night in my two headlights
Trying to keep it clear, but I'm losing it here to the
twilight
There's a dead end to my left, there's a burning bush to my
right
You aren't in sight, you aren't in sight
Do you want me, like I want you?
Or am I standing still, beneath the darkened sky?
Or am I standing still, with the scenery flying by?
Or am I standing still, out of the corner of my eye?
Was that you passing me by?
Mothers on the stoop, boys in souped-up coupes on this hot
summer night
Between fight and flight is the blind man's sight and the
choice that's right
I roll the window down, feel like I'm gonna drown in this
strange town
Feel broken down, I feel broken down
