Really Who Are You
Code: Select all
When you look into that mirror do you like whats reflecting back at you
Are you surprised at all to look on that wall and see something that isnt you
A traveller stands on the welcome mat on the floor
He looks cold and hungry, you let him pass through your door
You offer him a bite and something to drink
It freezes your heart to see him on the brink
Of something that you truly do not know
Clean as dirt and deep as a puddle
To you he is brick wall but to him you are a window
He sees through to your thoughts and your dreams
Does it bother at that he sees those scary things
Grab hold of the rope thats twirllin and tossin
And take root if you will of the old oak tree
Bury your hate deep into the ocean
Its not worth the risk of causing a camotion
You can shatter a mirror if you dont like your reflection
But there's no getting rid of that ugly deprevationBroken Ha Ha

You say I'm broken please don't fix me
You've been been trying to fix me for far too long
You say I'm broken please don't fix me
Maybe you are the broken one
You say my mind is warped now needs a fixin
I ain't lookin' for the repairs you want
You say my mind is warped now needs a fixin
Maybe your just upset my mind is opened up
You say my path is slanted going nowhere
Well I'm quite aware about the way I'm going
You say my path is slanted going nowhere
Maybe your just upset about the path your on
You say my appearance is messy long hair flowin
Im quite comfortable with the way I look
You say my appearance is messy long hair flowin
Maybe your just upset that you can't grow none
You say I'm broken please don't fix me
You've been been trying to fix me for far too long
You say I'm broken please don't fix me
You ever think that you're the broken one
I Cant Leave Her Behind
Code: Select all
Where she leads me I don't know
Well she leads me where she goes
I can't keep up with her no more
As I turn and she slips away
But I can't leave her behind
All aware I just can't hear her walk
I just can't hear her talk
I can't find her no where
It seems she just doesn't care
But I can't leave her behind
And when she comes my way
I'll just be left here night or day
Just to hear her say
I tried, I also cried
But I can't leave her behind
And baby though I know your blue
Sometimes I'm blue too
I'm so blue without you
You know it's true
But I can't leave her behindI Believe/I Dont Believe

One Last Time
Code: Select all
And you, stood at the gate, said you can't wait
Yet now I'm here standing,
Tell me how the clocks turn different for you
And your, ships setting sail, won't you please tell
the reason for leaving
I'm wishing to sail away from this place too
And why does that innocent man cry
A low price to pay for the CIA
Better have your sources straight before you start shooting
And the sweet, smell of perfume, that floats in this room
That makes my brain high
Won't you spend some time with me on this ride
And why, does the wise man wait, to receive his plate
The servings have already been dished out
If he is so wise why didnt he see this coming
And you stood in the door and was asking for more
I thought you were crazy but thats ok
Wild dreams come in all shapes and sizes
And now, I'm weary and lost, after carrying my cross
The time has come to settle down
Think I'll place my bet here on you nowYou Fooled Me Too
Code: Select all
You Fooled Me Too
And when you're falling I want to be on the ground
to help you touch down
And if I could fly I'd fly up to you faster before you fell down
But then you caught yourself before I got hold
you fool
You fooled me too
And you asked me to walk you in the dark
You said you needed some guidance to help
find where you had parked
But you had your own light to guide your through
Now I'm alone in the dark without you
you fool
You fooled me too
And you dropped me a line saying you got something for me
I had something for you too
But when I asked to make it something special
I no longer heard from you
There was someone else there with you too
you fool
You fooled me too
And you asked me to do a dance You said you'd come along too
I got dressed real nice and practice my moves and polished my shoes
But when the floor opened up
I was just doin my own groove
you fool
You fooled me tooSometimes

How strange we step into this thing
You and me not knowing a thing
But of what will come we will see
Sometimes I feel the world is too heavy for me and
Sometimes I feel that I can pick it up and
Sometimes I fall, I need you to be there to pick me up
Once again I'm at your feet
Not the ones that you may think
But of the lovely lady next to me
Sometimes I feel the world is too heavy for me and
Sometimes I feel that I can pick it up and
Sometimes I fall, I need you to be there to pick me up
Sweet it sounds
You and me laughing about
And how I would love
The heavens dancing above
Sometimes I feel the world is too heavy for me and
Sometimes I feel that I can pick it up and
Sometimes I fall, but it's ok cause I got you there to pick me up
Passing By

[b]Passing By[/b]
Sun goes down, wolves howlin at the moon
All the darkness closes in around you
Light a match, it might just help you see a bit
And take off those shades, it might help too
And I feel a chill going through my bones
And the way the moon is hanging shows
Dreams of old, dreams of new
Over me, over you
A journey through the dark
My mind lights up with a spark
Spirits wandering, passing through
Oh no, it's left to just me and you
Stay clear stranger, keep your innocence
This fog is for me, keep your purity
And as I lie here on the floor
Please say no if I ask for more
And if I lie here please extend your hand
I really hope you would act like my friend
Robin Hood stealing for the poor
His friends couldn't ask for more
Jump onto your feet it's time to sing and dance
If you're afraid you might trip, take hold of your pants
Brothers and sisters my hat's off to you
But when I ask you to leave I mean it, I really do
All of time passing by
Hungry child in the night does cry
Pass the torch, flame burning anew
No longer for me but now for you
Rainy Day Thoughts
Code: Select all
[b]Rainy Day Thoughts[/b]
In harmonizing sounds of a world becoming drowned in mysterious questions of how and why
If you would just take the time and effort to try
You would fall upon answers greater than you and I
However the reason for death can only be known once we die
Don't call on me for mission degrading to my name
Giants don't walk amongst peasants, you know that's quite lame
But it hurts sometimes when some people's reality to others is just a game
Looking past shapes and colors, everybody's just the same
Prowlin' around the savanna beneath the midday sun
Looking for the easy way out or soon be beneath the gun
And driving through Havanna smooth in my lighting wheels
Locked into the eyes of children, wondering what each one feels
It's quite comfortable for me to be anything I want others to see
Baggage can be lost or given away but it's sad when it's unclaimed
The nose goes 'cause it's easier for someone to blame
Entrepenuers taking risks, seeing what each one can gain
Sometimes its better to keep it simple, I'm just trying to remain
When totaling up your assets do you remember to count your friends
Nothing else really matters at the time and point when
Money can't buy your way onto the street called success
Man hold on to what's important, you can just forget about the rest
No More Need
Code: Select all
[b]No More Need[/b]
A just war no
You soldiers go home
There's no more need for dying
A good reason for weeping no
You mourners go celebrate
There's no more need for crying
A cause for wasting time no
You politicians go do something useful
There's no more need for lying
A reward for robbing no
You thieves work for something
There's no more need for stealing
An excuse for taking life no
You murderers find respect for life
There's no more need for killing
A kick for pickin on people no
You insecure fools find joy
There's no more need for hurting
There's no more need for dying and crying and lying
And for you haters and hurters and killers
There is no more need for you
But come one come all we need you now
You lovers and dancers and singers
And You dreamers and teachers and believers
There is a need for you now
Great Battle
Code: Select all
[b]Great Battle[/b]
A great war we must fight
But for it I put down my gun
For these battles will not be fought
with tanks, planes, and bombs
Do not build up those muscles
for they'll be no use
But build up your mind
for it holds the truth
We must shout it out loud
for the world is asleep
The confusion sets in
and they'll believe what they'll believe
What's hard may be right
and what's easy be wrong
Just do what is right
and I swear we'll get along
The sun shines up bright today
upon the dead branches of a tree
All imprints in the sand
are washed away by the sea
Death comes for us all
it's only a matter of time
When life costs a dime
they'll throw it aside
A second great wave
will wash out the scum
And for all of the good
the great ark you'll be on
It'll wash away the wars,
the hate, and disease
We'll forget about the sorrow
and rest under the trees
And that mysterious stranger
will reveal himself in the night
When truth be told
there'll be no need to fight
When that final bell rings
that's it, we are done
We may now rest
and our children have fun
Hotel Jottings

[b]Hotel Jottings[/b]
Swirls of emotion pour out through a river old and new
Surprises seem to jump from nowhere, yet somehow you always knew
As you go forward in time you wish you could go back
Go back to what you should have said, what you should have done
To tell you the truth, it really doesn't matter now, it's gone
You can line up, pass in all your complaints
What you think your gonna change
You should know by now our power is not truly what it seems
Our allegiance is blindly in the king
Who and how and what and why as the river runs dry
People start to cry, and while blackness fills the sky
But then again a shady dream pours into the sea
A drop of water does nothing to change the ocean
and human life in motion wont even cause a camotion
unless you forget the notion that nobles dont care about peasants dreams
But then again nobody has control of the fight of the mind
raging the revenge out of getting back at them
The noise of a crowded train flows sweetly through my brain
A drop and a spill of mind on the paper fills up the lines
One splash of a vision I no longer can see, erased from my memory
This picture has past into only a dream but it can be covered by the curtains
Peeping Tom has no need to see me
You ask questions which you already know
But you dont have to ask them even if you dont
Move past that, you got nothing to prove
And to tell you the truth not much to lose
Unraveled thoughts spin like a weaver will sew
All thoughts in my mind will find their way through on their own
Once upon a time a man once believed in something
Your barriers are not even limited at the sky
And that time when you are old and your casket filled with gold
Think back remember the tears of the freezing cold
I don't care if you lie to yourself and believe in betrayal
Just don't come around here when false convictions failFreedom For All

You senators and congressmen
please find something better to do with your time
There has got to be something more important dwelling on your mind
You make laws that allow people to take life away
It's their right you say
What if I feel like taking yours away today
Is life and liberty some kind of joke
Whos rights are you trying to protect
How about the innocent life you are trampling over
The young sheep who has done no wrong, caused no harm
Are you trying to corrupt him just like you
To lie and cheat and steal like you
Your bills we pay and we're supposed to do what you say
Its time someone takes your power away
Your reckless mind needs to quit
Lets get some leaders who can reason and think
A man with some kind of decency
Have the lions of politics devoured them all
You just walked over that man lying there in the street
With nothing to eat, nothing on his feet
With plenty of food and a stomach like that how can you complain
A child's belly swells to the size of yours but for reasons not the same
Life is just not a game you play
If they were yours would you treat them the same
You say its not up to me to tell them how to behave
The land of the free, the ill and depraved
Stand up tall and decide which side you are really on
The wind is blowing hard now in your face
Take it and embrace it and make me proud again to say
I live in the land of the U.S. of A
Thanks for checking them out!
