Teacher

This Lesson's Not In Instinct
I Have To Learn By Sight
So Show Me All Your Courage
And Teach Me How To Fight
I Never Thought That Violence Was
The Way To Solve Anything
There's Nothing Vital Coming From
Mindless Fists Swinging

This Lesson's Not In Instinct
I Have To Learn By Sight
So Show Me Both Of Your Wings
And Teach Me How To Fly
I've Never Thought That I Would
Fall So Hard To The Ground
There's Nothing Worth Leaping Off
The Top Of This Building In A Single Bound

This Lesson's Not In Instinct
I Have To Learn By Sight
So Show Me Your Air-Filled Lungs
And Teach Me How To Dive
I've Never Thought Water Was
So Hard To Breathe
There's Nothing Still Coming In Unclear
When You're Stranded Out To Sea

My Life Was Always
One Step Falling Behind
I Was Always
2 Steps From Dying

You Save Me, Save Me
Whenever I Created Gold
You Teach Me, Teach Me
Whatever I'm Lacking

This Lesson's Purely Instinct
You'll Have To Learn By Sight
I'll Show You All My Love
And I'll Teach You Through The Night

Wow, Jess, this is really incredible. So beautiful! I wish I could hear the music that I know is running in your head with what you wrote.

Thanks, this one is actually a year or more old. I'm not sure if I should put my stuff from MySpace up or not.

Thank you very much Sakura, maybe someday you can actually hear this song with music, all I need to do is work on the whole instrument thing haha.

But I agree, I really wish that I could just live off of music, then the economy would be FILLED to the brim.
