Lost Love
Couples dance, naked by the light of the moon
Strangers silently watch on the edge of town
The water washes the sand on the shore
Cleansing their souls
Pain carried away
As the moon vanishes
Wolves howl
Signalling the time has come
To throw their clothes back on and
Run for the hills
In crisp fall nights
Where love comes alive
The rain patters the sidewalk
Washing away the tears
Moon reapears
And the wolf makes it's last cry
Until she breaks down in tears
And he knows it's all his fault
The pain cannot go away
As long as she's around
And she walks away from his arms
Their lives will never be the same
Until they run
Run away from the pain
The Key
You hold in your hands
Something very special
It's a key
What it opens is fragile
It can be shattered in an instant
You must handle the contents w/care
Once open it cannot be closed
W/out destroying evrything that it brought
Evrything before it
And the future
They key that you hold
Is the key to the most special place
In the world
The heart
Paintings
The color splatterd on the wall
In a from more beautiful than you
Is what the gods wanted
Art
Beauty
Eternal love
Inside the Village
As the sun sets over the hills
The village children run wildly, madly
to touch it as it ascends into the dark
The village people rest easy
Their world is secure as the people outside
Fight a war that never ends
By dawn the village is alive
Laughter fills the streets and the sun smiles
Down on the people as they carry on
They don't care about the outside
They are lost in their own dreams and wonder
Of what their own lives mean
But it's all a mask and they are
Like mortal men in pain
They wish like others pain did not exist
It kills the village
They wake up screaming in the night at this
thought that they have to face the world
another day
The village wants to be angels in Heavan
Doing good enough deeds to the please
whom matter
But Heavan is dead
Thanks to man it only exists in the mind
of those who choose to believe
The angles soon learn that they who they seek to
Impress don't care and are lost in their onw
concern
Another day in the village is done
As the sun sets over the hills the children run wildly, madly
to touch it as it asecend into the dark
The moon is death
The stars their hope &
the sun is life
The Ritual
I never seen a smile that looked so sad
You drown your sorrow to the botto of a
Bottle
Now your drukn & sorrow is gone
The sorrow has returned!
You reach for your bottle
again
You love the mask
It hurts you less
The genlt kiss is all you seek
Soon it controls you
Becomes your sorrow
Your Love
Staring into your eyes
Can make me fall in love w/ you
All over again
Looking at your smile
Fixed upon your face
I fall into a trance
The point of all this is
to
attain your love
Falling over myself, compleley, stupid
w/ these lovestruck feelings for you
To attain your love
At moments of weakness I loose all
Control & cry
Have I attained you love?
No.
Do you notice me?
No.
Like I notice you?
No
The cards, poems, fanfare
All to attain your love
Destined to remain forever lost
In a sea of hopeless love
The tears I shed, pain I gave into
To attain your love
Children on the Edge
Gather on the edge
Fire burns rapid
On the edge of town
Children gather to see
Their future in ashes
Their cities in ruin
Elders gone
Their problems will prolong
Until it comes
The Abyss overccomes them
The pain is gone
Millions of Tears
A million tears run down
Your soft, beautiful skin
They tell of a million tims of heartbreak
Every tear contains pain
They stain your skin and burn
Forver etched into your soul
You seek sanctuary in the
House of Love
& soon learn the house is your source
of pain
Your beauty lights a room like a million
Candles & makes warmth of the
same
So many seek your love and fail
You break a million hearts &
Cause a million tears
Your smile reduces the stongest
to a weak creature
exposed now to harm
Your eyes
Hypnotize
Me
& never let go
I want to remove your tears
And make you smile
I want to kiss the tears off your cheeks
The Unknown Soldier
Lay down a grave for the Unknown Soldier
The bravest, boldest man in the war
Awards & parades are not enough
to reward the wat the Unknown Soldier fought
Stronger survived him
At least, soldiers believed to be stronger
Lay down a grave for the Unknown Soldier
He cried for you
He stood by you
He died because of you
The Unknown Soldier
Lost forever in a haze that remains
In your mind as a background thought
He was the greatest soldier but
Taken for a regular man
Lay down a grave for the Unknown Soldier
The death he died was horribly, firey
And full of misery
Crying out to the gods to rescue him
from his worst rival, himself
The war he died in
was the fight for your
affection
Death
Is a friend
Extending its gentle hand to you in the dark
Taking you on the journey
You've longed for since birth
The darkness encloses you
For the very first time you're protected
Pain has no effect
The Great Demon slain
Death
Is the sword with which you slay demons
Raise it high w/pride
Strike down on all that hurts
Lay still now in death
You have your peace
How Death Becomes Terror
A scream in the night
I awaken & look
All I see is dark
Your final breath and it's done
The pain is gone
In my grave lay still and terro strikes
A white light blinds me
I stare up and up into the reaches
Gates are before me and pearl
I'm aware of myself
I can feel again
Suddenly I realize I'm seeing w/my own eyes
Death has become terror
My wildest fear come true
Return me now I yell
to my place I want
the dark back
I cry w/angels
In my living nightmare
Scream of the Butterfly
Don't you cry now girl
There's a lesson to learn
Put your ear to the wind now girl
Listen to the cries
To the scream of the butterfly
Hold me close now honey and
Tell me your life
If I could see tomorrow
I would show you the light
I'll stand by you sugar
Until the end of time
You seem lost now girl
Don't you ever weep
Someone's standing there to be your
Your guiding light
Don't you cry now girl
There's a lesson to learn
Put your ear to the wind now girl
Listen to the cries
To the scream of the butterfly
You're The One
You are the one for me
The only one I need
But your head is turned and
You just don't see
That you are the one for me
But don't take it hard
There's a thousand ways for
me
to grow sad
You say that you're w/someone
and you want to be friends
Doesn't it matter to you?
That you are the one?
We could make it work now
If you'd only give me a break
You are the one for me
The only one I need
Never cry now honey
Don't you ever get hurt
I hope he treats you right
But if he does you wrong
YOu can come to me
I'll never leave you honey
I can set you free and
You are the one for me
The End
Welcome to this place of hiding
Welcome to my screaming nightmare
Let's take a journey together
To the end of the reaches
of the evils of time
Let's step out of my sorrow
Into the new dawn
of
silence
In the wild jungle
Tiger sleeps and watches over
The trees & hidings
There is an end
to all this, sugar
Way in the stars
Please don't hold me back
I can be happy & all it takes
Is a way to find The End.
Don't cry for me
Honey just be happy
I lie here in silence
Only perfect silence
Can be what they call
The End
Killer
There's a killer on the loose
His eyes pierce your soul
He stares w/a gleam
An he doesn't care
Who he kills in cold blood
Based his life on lies
Crush his threat
w/death
There's a killer on the loose
His eyes are blind
To what you want
He kills you ever slow
Makes you want to cry
Makes your want to die
There's a killer on the loose
He's an immortal
He can never die
Get ready to scream
Sorry
Where should I begin?
Tthere's no easy way to say
I hurt you
and I'm sorry
The miles between us
Were just too much
Something got in our way
and I'm sorry
I thought there was someone else
For me--It was just a lie
You got hurt
and I'm sorry
We said some things
We thought we meant at the time
Can you picture the future
What does it hold for us?
You were w/someone else
For such a time
I stood there watching
My world has died
Down to nothing
What can I do?
I'm too alone
For you to understand
What you meant to me
You're Fuckin' Crazy
What the hell do you mean?
I hope what you say makes some sense to you
'cos to me
It's all just shit, babe
How the hell can you stand there
And tell me lies?
Let me love you
Fuck it's no surprize
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
People tried to warn me
You're fuckin crazy
Is that what you want to believe?
That bullshit you said to me?
Know what?
You're fuckin crazy
Do you even care?
About me
You don't
Do you?
Don't go an
Fuck with my mind no more
You done it enough!
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
You're fuckin crazy
Little bitch
You're fuckin crazy
Do You Even Notice?
S[ending 'nother night alone
I just can't live like this much longer
But many months ago
You caught my eye
But you never even
Gave a fuck, child
You tossed your hair and smiled
An kept right on walking
Right on walking into a world
Then quickly back out
You said it wouldn't work out
Now time has gone by and I still care
An now you know for sure
Ya gave me some excuse
For not feeling back
An it makes me wonder
Do you even notice?
I'm standing all alone
Time haven't changed much
You tell me I'm great and just move on by
You're hiding things from me
I want to know
But what good does it do
When you don't even notice me?
In a Sunday Dress
You pout your best
In mother's white
Sunday dress
An tryin ta act
All big and tough
But romance is what you want
Ya turn him down 'cos
Ya think hard ta get is cool
Then you turn 'round an
Bitch to all your friends
About how everything is wrong
An all guys are jerks
You pout your best
In your very own
Sunday dress
An turn away
Every guy
Who actually cared
I Think About You
Sometimes late at night
In the
Dead of the rain
I think about you
Even after you turned me down
An shit on me
Like the rest the world
I think about you
You might be a bitch
An you should just fuck off
An leave me to live in peace
But I can't stop
I think about you
Celebration
The world is much too quiet now
'Cos I can't hear her voice
I can't ever see her
Eyes again
We're standing on the shores
Of the river between us
Shed a tear when
I think of you
An it's time
for
The Celebration
I hope you never forget
Our love
and
the way we was
Looks out the window
In the stars all I see is you
You left us behind
Left us w/but a tear
I can never forget you
I even tried
An not it's time
for
The Celebration
Sitting on the grass
In the pouring rain
Jus' so I can be next to you
Yesterday is behind me
An today is here to stay
Lyin' on my back
Starin at the clouds
An just rememberin you
It's time to begin
It's time to start
The time has come for
The Celebration
The Celebration
The Game She Plays
Ya fucked with all their brains
An left them ta die
Ya messed up enough
Thank you very much
*I mean how long could it take you
To open up your eyes an
Turn the page?*
What did they ever do?
When all they wanted was a simple
Chance to get next to you
Ya let them walk up the steps
An in the doorway
You slammed the door on their
Face
Just 'cos you're you
Don't mean you can
do that, honey
What did they ever do?
When all they wanted was a simple
Chance to get next to you
Do you think 'cos they are men
They don't feel?
Fuck you
What did they ever do?
When all they wanted was a simple
Chance to get next to you
An when she's done pulling
The wool over everyone's eyes
Watch her fuckin run
Ta the next group of suckers
What did they ever do?
When all they wanted was a simple
Chance to get next to you
In her own little world
Anything goes

I Might Die
Maybe not so long ago
In another time and place
I let love break me heart
Alone in the darkness
Awakened from my dream
A light was there to lead the
way home
Home is gone
An the church doesn't care
Livin on the street
Then tonight I saw another place
I can't go inside Scared to death
That this time I might die
Be in the house when it falls down
It happens every time
Halcyon King
He sits above all in the Kingdom
A magical, golden scepter in hand
To change your world
As in a fairy tale
Halcyon King
A man w/a million beautiful servants
Wants to un-do your life a life that
Plays like some Greek Tragedy of Pain
And suffers for something close to
Your hearting heart
Halcyon King
The King's men rush the Evil City
And attack! Halbreds in hand
The whole city lies in ruin, fires
A smoke billows towards the sky to
Block out the sun for an eternity
Halcyon King
The Evil City is gone now just a faint
Unimportant detail lost in a haze of smoke
The King has performed his duty and sent
Your pain to its grave-wide awoken
You lay in your bed and cry asking what
You have done
And why people died for you
Happy?
Now it is your living nightmare
Halcyon King
Knelt before him and ask for it
To be undone, you want your old pain back
He waves his wand and said
Some magical words
The smoke lifted and back was your
Old pain
The weight of murder is off you
And he moves to the next city
He is the Halcyon King!
Stop The Bullets
Where does it end?
What good does it do?
All the young are fighting
So who's really peacekeeping?
Stop the bullets
Stop for the children
Stop for the women
Stop the bullets
Keep your land
To keep the peace
Hide your shame
To keep the peace
Your Genocide
Pick up your Good Book
Tell me, what does it say?
Read from it to me
You wanna show me YOUR light?
Keep your Good Book!
I don't need your genocide
You want me
But you can't stand me
W/out just a little genocide
Your life is such a fuckin joke
You think your good
But you must
Close your eyes
During your genocide
Preach ta me no more
I don't wanna know about it
Your genocide
For such an act
Your genocide is popular
Just don't drag me into your genocide
Don't need no genocide
Drag Me Down
It's getting much too dark
For us to see...
But how can you see when your
Eyes are closed?
When you won't look past your
Own nose?
When your eyes open
I'm the one standing there
In front of you
Arms outstreahced, just for you
We're both in search of the same thing
But you won't come along w/me
I can't let you mess w/my
Head no more
I thought I was in love w/you
But all you ever did was
Drag me down
Call Yourself a Friend?
You don't know anything
But can you tell
This song is about you?
Or do I have to mention your name
In every line to get you to notice?
I thought I cared-about you
Guess I was wrong, but
*You ain't special, so who ya fooling?*
Not me anymore!
Goin rip your sordid heart right out
I want Them to do what you did to me
Fuck with your mind
And when what you want is a breath away
Tear it right out from under you
Break YOUR heart
Who ya leavin?
What you dreaming?
You call yourself a friend?
Love Her Madly
What can I do when I love her so madly?
When I need her so badly?
It's not WHY I love you
It's not that I LOVE you
I love you so madly
I need you so badly
I never thought love would be this way
The only thing I want
Is for you to say "I'm happy"
'Cos I love you madly
Please try to guide my heart carefully
It's all I ask
Try to understand
I love you so madly
Please don't deny my chance to
Love you
So madly
Understand Me
I don't know where all this leads
Girl, I been trying to get over another
Don't think it takes away
From the way it is
That makes you special to me
I been on the wrong path
So DAMN long
I need a hand to guide me
On the right path
Help me
Don't misunderstand my words
Like another has done
Thera are no lines to read between
So don't even try
I wanna move on
Please don't misunderstand me
and
I can be happy
This Poem Is For You
I never thought a man
Could love such a woman
W/such great intensity
I never thought that love
Could hurt so much
I guess they way we is goin' is really such a bitch
Your life is lame
So lemme in your game
Show ya how love was always meant ta be
I guess you can't help
How your feelins s'pose ta be
They're just part of you
An they is rippin 'way at me
I gave you my heart such a long time ago
It was yours to hold forever thru and thru
All the fucking shit
All the games and lies
Half a million guys
An all the little boys
Never try to hold back
An of your words
I wanan hear 'em all
You know you can come to me
No matter what it is
So exercise your option
An lemme in your world
I what you got
Is really what you want
'Cos you're leaving me out
An standin in the cold
Ain't worth my precious time
If one thing you want
Is missing from your life
Light the burning flame
Ta be your guiding light
You're really such a beauty
An I can't deny this fact
You're the girl I wanna be w/
I know you won't let it happen
But girl, it's really alright
As long as you
got
everythiing you want
This poem is for you
And you're the most gorgeous
In this poet's eyes
Very Last Time
I guess being in my heart
was too much for her to bare
Now all I feel is this darkness
An for the very last time
I write a love song for this girl
My biggest challenge
was letting her know that she
She mattered
Somewhere, along the lines
We got cut off and I was stranded while she
Went away, away from me
The very last time we spoke
Evrything fell away
My wounds aren't healed
And my words aren'\t heard
The very last time I looked into your eyes
The very last time you looked in mine
Was when you lied to me
You said you was listening
An I shouldn't feel this way
But, friend, you weren't there
When all I needed
Was for you to act
Like you knew what the FUCK a friend is.
