On this page you will be able to enjoy as much as I do at least I hope, the artist known as Jewel. Jewel has been an inspiration to me. If you get a chance listen to her music and read her book. "A knight without armor" Jewel is my rolemodel due to her dedication to what she does and dedication to us. She manifests all that she is in what she loves. Her strength from her songs is what drives me. I love her and Highly recomend her albums to everyone.
Here are a few of her songs that I have put up for your enjoyment. carnivore
BY: Jewel
so much space can fit in a sigh / more than words can say / i'm left here with my hands all awkward / trying to mend space / i used to know you / but not anymore / your substance has been subtracted / word by word
silence in my ears / where once you offered your conviction / your promises are dry beads / that crack with nostalgia
but, that's all right / that's okay / had no business giving myself to you anyway / be careful next time for sure / and i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart / i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart to a carnivore
your soul is an ink stain / your perfection is a mend / you're as fragile as your thoughtlessness / as strong as you can bend / you could only believe in embryos / held all your high hopes through a telescope / and lavender haunted you / so i could only laugh in yellow
you have a fire down in genius, subtlety / and you slip through the fingers of ambiguity
well, that's all right / that's okay / had no business giving myself to you anyway / be careful next time for sure / and i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart / i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart to a carnivore
i did it before / but i don't think i'll do it again / next time i won't hunger for this thing / i take back my songs and my poetry / this time i won't be too easy to read / and i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart / i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart / i'll never trust my pink fleshy heart to a carnivore
so close to heaven
BY: Jewel
i was just a child / when you took my hand / we set the whole damned world on fire / you showed me what it was to be loved by a man / but one day the ax just fell / and the whole world got shot all to hell / there's a hole in my heart
we were so... so close to heaven / we were almost as good, as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / that was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close
our love was crazy and wild / tender and mild, slow and strong / tonight i'll set it on fire / as noble as a storm / the lightning fell from your eyes / suddenly, there was no goodbye / there's a hole in my heart
we were so... so close to heaven / we were almost as good, as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / that was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close
wax wings that flew too close to the sun / but wasn't it so fun to fly / it's far better to love, then to lose / than never to love, then to die / oh you were so... so close to heaven / we were almost, almost, almost as good as it gets / and you were almost an angel / which was almost heaven-sent / so close to heaven / so close... to heaven / so close... to heaven

love me just leave me alone
BY: Jewel
i saw you standing there / you had gold dust in your pocket / you combed barbed wire through your hair / you thought I didn't notice / the skin on your teeth had a tear
i tried not to notice so you started to shout / then you and all your minions / started flapping your tiny arms all about / they said you were a wise man / women teach wise men to pout
i tried to forget you / but you tied bells to your name / they jingle every time i thought of you / without shame / i tried to be unlovable / why couldn't you do the same?
what's the matter? / don't you love me no more? / alright then / love me just leave me alone
your mind is a circle / but it thinks in straight lines / your arms are like corset strings / they only know how to bind / lemmings are adorable / why don't you try it sometime?
your mother was a wolf bite / your daddy was a cigarette / your brother was a rose bud / cross-bred with a car wreck
your sister was a stockbroker / but you ain't nothing but a turtleneck
what's the matter? / don't you love me no more? / alright then / love me just leave me alone
it's not your little boy smile / it's not your little boy name / it's those big boy hands / that are the ones to blame / i tried to be unlovable / why couldn't you do the same?
what's the matter? / don't you love me no more? / alright then / love me just leave me alone
what's the matter? / don't you love me no more? alright then / love me just leave me alone

sometimes it be that way
BY: Jewel
night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak / my pen is present but courage left via the sink / and i'm sorry i snuck up on you from behind / i'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme / and i'm sorry that jesus died for my sins / and i swear to god it won't happen again / and i'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway / oh well, sometimes it be that way
and romeo was a very nice man / he said "jewel, i don't think you quite understand." / and i'm sorry if you had to explain it like this / i'm sorry i was a point you were destined to miss / and i'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently / down in the hollow by the old olive tree / and i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day /oh well, sometimes it be that way
i said, "oh well, i got nothing left to sell." / this love was a bell that rang unheard in the air / i was bound to find out that you didn't care / oh well, sometimes it be that way
and aphrodite with her neon lamp / kissed neptune, they put her face on a stamp / and i'm sorry i used it to mail a letter to you / i'm sorry i'm glue and the rest bounces off of you / and i'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings / could get across these simple things / and i'm sorry if i ever sang your name in vain / oh well, sometimes it be that way
and goldilocks, well she knew three bears / they all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs / and i'm sorry I never got to find you like this / sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss / and i'm sorry for all the times i forgot to imply / something in between the lines / and i'm sorry if i ever caused you pain / oh well, sometimes it be that way
i said, "oh well, i got nothing left to sell." / this love was a bell that rang unheard in the air / i was bound to find out that you didn't care / oh well, sometimes it be that way
and shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall / electricity chases its tail in the hall / and i'm sorry my arms to you were just empty rooms / i'm sorry i never could comfort you / and i'm sorry st. petersburg is a miserable town / and i'm sorry if i am bringing you down / and i'm sorry if it was my love that rained on your parade / oh well, sometimes it be that way
and flame licks the air with its silver tongue / night has many hands but i have just one / and i'm sorry i walked in on you unexpectedly / i'm sorry i never served you chamomile tea / and i'm sorry i didn't always have a match / that could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch / and i'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway / oh well, sometimes it be that way
