"American Dream"
Everything just feels so false and fake,
Like we're living one giant mistake.
It's all messed up, such utter chaos;
Minorities get promotions while other get lay offs,
And the "underdog" is always favored to win,
Leveling the playing field a little more in the end.
I'm not saying they don't have rights,
But just to get by, I have to put up a fight,
And it's suddenly Cutthroat Island at work,
Losing my bonus to the suck-up jerk,
And losing my pride to the girl on welfare,
Who doesn't get a job so she'll stay there,
Where's the American Dream?
It's not as they made it seem.
Hard work ain't enough; you gotta play rough,
And do more than just strut your stuff.
Undermine and conive; slip in a few bribes,
And suddenly they're living better lives.
They say I make enough and that I'm made,
But I make too much to qualify for financial aid,
And yet I can barely afford the food on the table;
Everything around and inside is so unstable,
And still they pat me on the back and offer praise,
But they shoot me down every time I ask for a raise.
And I'm just so sick of it, stuck against the wall,
Yet they say I'm lucky to have a job at all.
But then I find out I'm being demoted
Just because Mr. Suck-up got promoted,
And yet he does half as much work as I do,
But, hey, that's life, but why does it have to be true?

"Shadow Home"
Every day, I just want to quit and walk away,
Wishing I could just run away;
Oh God, it hurts so much to stay,
To hear everything they have to say.
I tried to see the sunny side,
But it's killing me inside.
Just run away, far away,
And start over another day.
I feel so filled up of this grief;
I just want some relief.
But I'm bound by duty and shame,
Staying here, and taking the blame.
I tried to make it all right,
But I'm still caught up in the fight,
Broken down, thrown to the ground,
With madness still all around.
I want to start from the very beginning,
Before there was so much sinning,
And I was so fed up, 'fore I had enough,
Before you stopped and helped me up.
And now it's good-bye to all I own,
Good-bye to everything I left at home,
Good-bye to family and friends;
I'll see you all once more at the end.
Good-bye to all my hopes and dreams,
Good-bye to my inner screams.
Good-bye to my house, my room, my bed,
Good-bye to everything left in my head.
Good-bye to my future, good-bye my past,
Good-bye to everything I knew would never last;
Good-bye to the world; hello something new;
It's not real anymore; I'll find something else true.

"The Person I Am"
The truth of it all is that I'm just scared,
Wondering if I'm even all there,
Doubting what I see and what I am,
And wishing I was just more of a man.
I look into her eyes and feel such pain,
Such sorrow and loss, so insane,
Staring back at me in those gorgeous orbs,
Sinking so deep as those eyes absorb.
And yet I feel so very strong,
Like I could right all the wrongs,
And that I'm seven feet tall,
And able to withstand it all.
Just a single look is all it takes,
To help me rectify my own mistakes,
And yet she's still smiling at me,
That pretty smile, so blissfully happy.
And I wish I had that strength of resolve,
That abiity to find the answers, to solve
All the problems that have come my way,
And believe in myself, like I did yesterday.
She makes me wish I was so much more,
Not this person that I am, anymore;
Someone stronger, someone better, someone right,
And maybe I'll be that person for her tonight.

"Lies of Love"
She's a blue eyed, brown haired beautiful beast;
She's got the boys beggin' from west to east,
Dancin' like a devil on the disco floor,
My hands down her hip, got me beggin' for more.
Move that can kill, and looks that do,
And enough fire to burn with that attitude.
Sexy jeans jacket with a red miniskirt,
Pearl earrings and high-heels caked with dirt;
She's got a wiggle when she walks,
And she giggles when she talks,
That sultry stare shooting straight at me,
Breaking me down and lifting me up, so forcefully.
And I just gasp...
Is it real? Is it real...
This dark design of her dangerous mind.
Is it love? Is this love...
Her hands in my hair; I can feel her stare;
What I need, what I need...
Is the strength to stay, but it just goes away;
Is this love? What is love?
All this pain inside, it was just a lie;
What is love?
Ruby red lips, tattoes from head to her feet,
Voice soft as the wind, strong as the sea,
And a touch as gentle as silk, firm as a vice,
And I shiver, so strange and yet so nice.
And those eys, that give me such bliss and suffering,
With that voice, like a choir of angels when she sings.
Is it real? Is it real...
This dark design of her dangerous mind.
Is it love? Is this love...
Her hands in my hair; I can feel her stare;
What I need, what I need...
Is the strength to stay, but it just goes away;
Is this love? What is love?

"OtherWorld"
Baby Jannet's screaming for her dad with frantic calls,
Wailing on, her cries echoing off the walls,
While just down the hall, Sandra's drying her hair,
While running mascara runs down a face so fair,
But he ain't there, and Bobby's thinking twice about tomorrow;
Bought a gun from Jeff's shop to put an end to his sorrow,
But deep in his marrow, he can't forget about her baby inside,
A rushed mistake, and one he hoped they'd be able to hide,
But she's no blushing bride, and her daddy wanted him gone,
A drunk and a punk, still singing the same self-deprecating song,
But they get along, at least when he's sober enough to stand,
And their neighbor Maddie says that she can understand,
While her go-go band tries to light up their spirits,
But the rest of the neighborhood don't want to hear it,
They almost fear it, like joy is a curse and a crime,
At least that's what Randy felt 'bout his stint doing time,
So hardly sublime, and now he's just bitter and cold,
While his mother asks him to visit, since she's too old,
So that she can just hold him like she did when he was young;
She's missed him so much since her husband got cancer of the lung,
And then all was said and done, and now he's dirt and bones,
Rotting in some godforsaken grove among other dirty gravestones;
But at least he's not alone, since there's so many others in the ground,
Like Sarah, buried beside him, who used to laugh at the world around,
And all loved that sound, till a driver on a high ran her across the street,
And the police told her sister, who was stuck in the passanger seat,
That they couldn't get a heartbeat, and she stayed awake for hours,
Cursing herself for something she didn't do, still feeling the coward,
While cursing higher powers, before she wandered off in the night,
And her boyfriend Tony didn't see her again during the sunlight,
And in his fright, he searched all over till he found her by the bar,
Plastered and too drunk to even walk to her car;
He remembers the scars, having lost his brother to cancer,
And how he tried so damn hard to find all the answers,
Even going to mediums and necromancers, but finding no peace,
So he picks her up and carries her home, sick of the same disease,
But still long for release, and loving and fighting till his time's up,
And in the end, to be with her just one more day, that's enough,
So he flexes and acts tough, remembering words his teacher said,
That we all live our lives, either for good or ill, till we're dead,
So live good lives instead, and he took everything life hurled,
And found himself taking care of Jannet, their baby girl,
While he dreams of life on the OtherWorld.

Well, aren't you just full of cheer?
Garden Blues
Young Johnny was a working boy
He never did know best
His sister was an only child
She wore a sweater vest
Well he went to the city
Bought a guitar pole
But all night drinkin' can't be good for the soul
Took his dollar bills and he headed on home
Ol' Gina was a country gal
She lived along the sea
She knew not what her life was for
Or what else she could be
Well she went to the city
Bought a new cell phone
But then a telemarketer aquired her soul
Took her by the throat and he headed on home
When Johnny bought a working toy
He placed it on her chest
His sister never did know why
But she treats him like the rest
Well they went to the city
With the guitar soul
And rocked along steady 'til the morning showed
Took another year 'til they finally got home
Took another year 'til they finally got home
Took another year 'til they finally got home

"Requiem for Angela"
Though it hurts, I just smile to the world;
My hands bound by rusted-red chains,
Feeling the beast roaring inside,
Screaming for freedom through pain.
They think I'll be okay if I just pretend,
Act like I don't see or feel the gash,
But I see everything I fought and bled for
Fade away, burning away to black ash.
"It's gonna alright," I lie,
But still I hear her cry,
"Don't let me die!"
Still, I vow that I'll try,
Pray to God for wings to fly,
And take her to heaven up high.
It's waiting for me, that dark other side,
Telling me lies to make myself press on;
There is no heaven, no hell, no God or sin,
But the lies pervade, though I know it's wrong.
I feel her nails digging into my skin,
I taste her lips as she holds me so very close,
And in that moment of singular bliss,
I know now what matters the most.
"It's gonna alright," I lie,
But still I hear her cry,
"Don't let me die!"
Still, I vow that I'll try,
Pray to God for wings to fly,
And take her to heaven up high.
I am the darkness, I am the light,
I am the sin that they cast out from paradise,
And I seek redemption, meaning for my existence,
But I know it's not over; there's one more surprise.
Where does love fall? What side of the line?
It hurts like hell to love, but it takes me up so high,
And though I wish I were not, still I'm here;
I'm gonna set loose the beast I hold inside.
"It's gonna alright," I lie,
But still I hear her cry,
"Don't let me die!"
Still, I vow that I'll try,
Pray to God for wings to fly,
And take her to heaven up high.

Dear Kansas,
My ears are slowly detaching themselves form my head.
Ivory chunks of Ebony
Transform through the good times and let the ride begin
mix up a sort of wind- Seph and his men
Today is such a waste
At errible tyrannous day
Sol- perhaps
Maybe the great Luna
Electronic Hot dogs
tentacled mutant texan toast.

"My Meteor"
Every time I get knocked down,
I pick myself back up again.
Every time I lose my footing,
I stumble and stagger to my feet.
Every time you say that it won't work,
I promise you I'll be there in the end.
Every time I lose my faith,
I carry on, moving past my defeat.
And I ask, "can you forgive me?
Can you forget the past?
Can you chase my demons away?
Can you shield me from stones cast?
Can I be the person she needs?
Can I win the fight, or ever bleed?
Can I know how much my love means to her?
Will I crash and burn; my meteor?"
You'll always be mine, dear one,
Even when the odds seem so high.
I'll be there to carry you over the threats,
Walking forward, never turning back.
Though I might stumble and I might fall,
I'll find the strength for us both to get by.
When all seems so dim, and all is lost,
Still I'll stand my ground for the final attack.

"Direction"
Is it lonely where you are?
Tears trail down over faded scars,
And ashes rain down from the sky,
A gray winter without alibi.
You gave up the fight; ran away,
And the shadows follow you to this day,
Mourning the loss of innocence;
Wish I could go back to ignorance.
I'm so empty from all these years,
So tired from fighting all my fears,
So dead from losing all my tears,
And I can't help but see how it appears,
Or stop myself from where my heart steers.
A guided hand throughout the dark,
Reaching through shadow to the heart,
Dragging you deeper into madness and shame,
Till I almost forget my very own name.
A self-afflicted dreamworld of pain and sorrow,
Killing me so deep I feel it in the marrow,
But, through fog and shadow, I press on,
Till I find the peace inside to make myself strong.
I'm so empty from all these years,
So tired from fighting all my fears,
So dead from losing all my tears,

The Teenage Angst Song
Fuck the world, I'm a teenager today
Express my feelings, I know no other way
But when it comes to the one thing to impose
You gotta be a tyrant to be disposed
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
Cut me down and bring it up again
But don't tell me, 'cause it's not going to end
And when it comes to the one thing, you want some more
You can't tell nobody 'cause they're a bore
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
There's no life in the Sunday Church
But that is nothing on you, you're the worst
*Angsty bridge with lots of noise and stuff*
Teenage Angst
Paid off well
Now it's lost
And gone to hell
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
There's no life in the Sunday Church
But that is nothing on you, you're the worst
You're the worst
Fuck the world, I'm a teenager today
Express my feelings, I know no other way
But when it comes to the one thing to impose
You gotta be a tyrant to be disposed
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
Cut me down and bring it up again
But don't tell me, 'cause it's not going to end
And when it comes to the one thing, you want some more
You can't tell nobody 'cause they're a bore
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
There's no life in the Sunday Church
But that is nothing on you, you're the worst
*Angsty bridge with lots of noise and stuff*
Teenage Angst
Paid off well
Now it's lost
And gone to hell
This is the Teenage Angst Song, the angry muse
You gotta get a job, but there ain't no use
There's no life in the Sunday Church
But that is nothing on you, you're the worst
You're the worst
So many superhero topics and threads and movies... got inspired
"Your Hero"
I wish I was stronger, able to withstand bullets and blows;
I wish I was faster, able to move faster than lightning;
I wish I could fly, to soar above the clouds and the world below;
I wish I was better; able to forever keep on fighting.
But still you say that I'm you're hero,
That I carry you high into the sky,
That I wash away all your fear and pain,
And that you know I'll always try.
You say that I'm you're hero,
That I make you feel safe and secure,
And though I feel so weak,
You say I'm the one you love and adore.
I wish I was smarter, able to outwit every scheme and plot;
I wish I was powerful; able to shoot lasers out of my eyes;
I wish I could climb walls; show you a view of the whole wide world;
I wish I was immortal, an icon and legend that could never die... and who never cries.
But still you say that I'm you're hero,
That I carry you high into the sky,
That I wash away all your fear and pain,
And that you know I'll always try.
You say that I'm you're hero,
That I make you feel safe and secure,
And though I feel so weak,
You say I'm the one you love and adore.
And when I'm with you, I feel stronger,
Like I could take on the world.
With you, I feel lighter,
Like I could fly to the end of space.
With you, I feel braver,
And there's no fear left in me.
With you, I feel better,
Like the person I always hoped to be.
But still you say that I'm you're hero,
That I carry you high into the sky,
That I wash away all your fear and pain,
And that you know I'll always try.
You say that I'm you're hero,
That I make you feel safe and secure,
And though I feel so weak,
You say I'm the one you love and adore.

It's been a rough day today. This is really kind of a "diva" ballad. When I was writing it I just kept hearing huge vocals and huge music, very dramatic.
Love Show
It's so hard to start a song,
When it just comes out the same.
You were wrong all along.
Now it pains me to even say your name.
The way you hurt me,
It's a crime.
Over night you became my enemy,
And you should do the time,
For breaking my heart.
When you swore,
Right from the start,
That you'd show me more,
More to this life,
That our love could be great,
But now it's all strife,
Faster and faster it's becoming too late.
I can't do this for the both of us.
I can't fight this fight on my own.
You need to be on my side,
In those dark, endless nights.
The more I reel you in,
The more you break free from me and my love.
So what am I supposed to do?
When do I decide that enough is enough?
Even though, I love you so,
I've gotta end this one-sided love show.
I never thought I was after much.
Just a little love.
The feel of your tender touch,
Is enough to fill me up.
Yet you refuse me,
Like I'm nothing to you.
Just an entity,
Something you can walk right through.
Still I'm standing here,
Hoping you'll reach out,
To wipe away my tears.
You don't say you love me out loud,
Just kiss me, hold me.
Take me in your arms,
Whisper sweet nothings,
And protect me from harm.
I can't do this for the both of us.
I can't fight this fight on my own.
You need to be on my side,
In those dark, endless nights.

The more you break free from me and my love.

Why can't you love me the way I need you to?
What can I say, what can I do?
To make you feel the way that I feel.
To make this fairytale real.
I can't do this for the both of us.

"Your Song"
There's too few things I'm proud of,
Too many things I'm still regretting.
There's a million things to remember,
But what's important I'm still forgetting.
The memories aren't as kind with time;
Nightmares haunting both day and night.
And I have nothing but old, crumple notes
That you wrote me under the moonlight.
I keep telling myself I'll forget and move on,
Find someone else to make me strong,
Find someplace where I know I'll belong,
But I'm still here, and it just feels so wrong,
Because you're not here, singing your song.
You used to laugh at so many things,
Things I thought were so trivial and plain;
Yet now I know how much they meant to you,
Only now, when I'm in so much pain.
There's dark clouds over my head,
And scarlet letters branded on my skin,
And there's no light in the tunnel left,
Since you ran out on me to be with him.
I keep telling myself I'll forget and move on,
Find someone else to make me strong,
Find someplace where I know I'll belong,
But I'm still here, and it just feels so wrong,
Because you're not here, singing your song.
I keep trying, I keep crying, I keep dying,
I keep lying to myself again and again.
I keep praying, I keep paying, I keep slaying,
I keep delaying the invetible one more time.
I keep breathing, I keep seething, I keep leaving,
I keep believing that I'll see you once again.
I keep telling myself I'll forget and move on,
Find someone else to make me strong,
Find someplace where I know I'll belong,
But I'm still here, and it just feels so wrong,
Because you're not here, singing your song.

'Radiovision'
Television on my soul
You know the record broke the most
Radio signal alone
Calling up the ratio
A little lesser, not unknown
But your falling off the road
To where your death is one small toll
And you know that here's your role
Microwave your troubled mind
All your troubles aren't behind
The criteria I find
Is not too far, is not too wide
We all need a smash hit on our head
Another tops the charts
But not for long
If we breathe at all
It might fall over
But don't hold your breath too long
Time is wasting...
Record all your stereo mixes
On your little radio
Steal another record, oh no
I bought it for this one single
But television is the vision
And media ain't friendly...
We all need a smash hit on our head
Another tops the charts
But not for long
If we breathe at all
It might fall over
But don't hold your breath too long
Time is wasting
Time is wasting...

See You Later
We didn’t meet that long ago/
And even then I’d never know/
How much you’d change my life/
And whole new world you’d show me/
It started out like you’d think it would/
Neither one of us quite understood/
Why we would stay up late/
And talk about whatever we could/
And now its time for me to go/
But before I do I want you know/
I think about you every day/
And there’s 3 little words I have to say/
And when I leave at night/
Even after you turn out the light/
I’ll never say goodbye/
I’ll always say “see you later”/
(repeat)
Well the time it did go fast/
And after a few more weeks had past/
We began to grow close/
And I hoped that it would last/
Then you granted me my wish/
It happened on a night like this/
We were lying there so still/
And we shared our first kiss/
And now its time for me to go/
But before I do I want you to know/
I never will forget that day/
And the 3 little words I always say/
And when I leave at night/
Even after you turn out the light/
I’ll never say goodbye/
I’ll always say “see you later”/
(repeat)
And the time it didn’t slow/
But that was not to long ago/
Its funny how time flies/
When its happiness you know/
And we had so much fun/
And you could ask any one/
When they’d see us together/
Our eyes were shining like the sun/
Cause there’s nothing better than your smile/
And if you’d ask I’d say that I’ll/
Give up anything/
Just hear you laugh for a while/
And when I leave at night/
Even after you turn out the light/
I’ll never say goodbye/
I’ll always say “see you later”/
(repeat)
You have become my best friend/
And I only hope that I can spend/
Every day with you/
Up to the very end/
Cause soon the time will come/
That our time together is done/
But know deep my heart/
That for me you are the one/
And now its time for you to go/
But before you do I want you to know/
There’s one more thing I have to do/
Say those 3 little words “I love you”/
And when you leave that night/
Even after you walk right out of my sight/
We’ll never say goodbye/
We’ll only say “see you later”/
And I know that you will cry/
And I hope you know that so will I/
But this is not goodbye/
This is only “see you later”/
So when I leave tonight/
Even after you turn out the light/
We’ll never say goodbye/
We’ll only say “see you later”/
We didn’t meet that long ago/
And even then I’d never know/
How much you’d change my life/
And whole new world you’d show me/

"Penance"
A lone stretch of asphalt road,
In godforsaken lands of men,
While angels strode through broken glass
To carry souls laden with sin.
Tears of blood flow down my eyes,
Hearing screams and laughing taunts,
While my body lies broken and bent,
And my limbs feel so weak and gaunt.
I hear a bird calling, caw-caw,
Raven-winged messenger of death,
Eating me alive, eating me inside,
And it eats and eats until nothing is left.
And every night, the dreams the same.
Do dead people only dream of dying?
And the broken mirror shows my mocking face,
And still my blood-tears I am crying.
I wish I could be free from my flesh,
But I can't even cut free my bonds;
Another day, another laugh, ha-ha,
Another day where everything is wrong.
And I still have dreams of her,
A love that never was and now can never be,
And though I wish I could burn,
I find that a memory is all that I'll be.
A mocking display of public affection;
Even that left trampled on the floor,
Like a flower that's withered and decayed,
Rotting in my flesh to my very pores.
A shadow's shadow, a ghost of a phantom,
An angel of sadness and vision of truth,
Washing over me in a sea of inky nothing,
And comforting me in a slumber with you.
Everything will be alright, I keep saying,
And everything will matter once I'm gone,
But that day is still so very far away,
And until that day, I cry that I have to be so strong.

Ever hear of metaphors?
Are you Happy Now?
When I first met you, you took my breath away
Now I look at you, the pain never goes away
After all these years, After all I said to you
You just smiled and walked away
My Heart is blistered and colored grey
In your eyes I was nothing else but your prey
Only misery comforts me
The evil spirits that are tainted within
I feel as though I only arouse bad karma
I Hope you're happy now...
Writing songs is my salvation
Praying to God is my Faith
You are my anger and the entity of my Hate
No more anxiety, No more headaches
Because the world inside my head trembles and shakes
No more torment, No more distress
Your taste is too sour for me to digest
But somehow I still savour it...
I was so in love with you but you're gone and I can't get you back
No more will my days be normal because all I can think about is you
This nervouseness twists and turns my vital organs
You took a large piece of my soul
I hope you're happy now
I Hope you're fucking happy now...
When I first met you, you took my breath away
Now I look at you, the pain never goes away
After all these years, After all I said to you
You just smiled and walked away
My Heart is blistered and colored grey
In your eyes I was nothing else but your prey
Only misery comforts me
The evil spirits that are tainted within
I feel as though I only arouse bad karma
I Hope you're happy now...

Love-no-More
"I love you...
I love you...
I love you...
With every beating of my heart
In the very fabric of my soul
Nothing will tear us apart
I'm sorry I was so cold
I want you and only you
So please forgive me for my sins
I swear my love is true
Don't worry, it'll be okay in the end..."
I can hear your words even now
In the echoes of days gone by
Words that once seemed so meaningful
Words that were so true, so pure in my mind
But I became blind to the truth of it all
My eyes did not see nor could my mind admit
But my heart grew ever weary
Knowing the jigsaw pieces would not fit
Love... how can you say you do?
Love... is not a word to be misused
Love... is not anger, hatred or despair
Love... is an action that speaks louder than words dare
"I love you...
I love you...
I love you...
You know I'm sorry
You know I won't hurt you again
There's no need to worry
I will always be your friend"
Your words are fading from my thoughts
But the scars that love has caused are still etched upon my heart
Like lovers' names carved upon the stone, only scored apart
Your voice soothed me many times before
In the days my hope still burned
Now your icy ways and heartless words are gone
And I can't recall when those spring days turned
The ice that's encased my heart
That ice which cannot melt
Is all that remains of us
All that remains from what I felt
Love... is not for the ears or eyes
Love... will never make your heart cry
Love... is more than letters of tender care
Love... is an action that speaks louder than words dare
Love... empty and hollow as your promise to change
Love... is true love now truly out of range?
