The Search
If you came looking for an answer
this is the wrong place
I am hard, worn out and tired
I will not tell you what you
want to hear.
I searched for it, lived for it
traded my youth in the pursuit of it.
I read about it, heard about it in music and watched the myth performed by celluloid heroes.
I was lifted up by the prospect of it
than
always crushed in the end by the absence of it.
I am the last romantic
living in a world of no romance
And yet this...

Thinking of you
Is "love" just a word easily passed around to make lonely people dream?
I spent today as I spend every day, waking with the thought of you and keeping that thought in my soul as if it were a ghost that refused to cross over.
I ask myself the same question every day and the reasons are coming to me less and less.
Why go on?

Coming For You
You don't know me....
yet I know everything about you
and all you have done
so tonight we will talk
and get some things straight
You have twisted me, overruled me, bent me and kept me in the dark and away from others
but after tonight
no more......
No more manipulation or being used
because I cannot be concealed anymore....
I will emerge and stand my ground
I'm coming after you
Who am I?
I am truth
yet I know everything about you
and all you have done
so tonight we will talk
and get some things straight
You have twisted me, overruled me, bent me and kept me in the dark and away from others
but after tonight
no more......
No more manipulation or being used
because I cannot be concealed anymore....
I will emerge and stand my ground
I'm coming after you
Who am I?
I am truth

Same As Yesterday
Each day Is the same for me, I wake and try to shake the dreams of you from my head.
Shards of blue - white intensity pierce my borrowed bloodshot eyes
A spectrum of thoughts flood my mind as I try and make any sense of this.
I always end the day the same
Feeling this was the plan the entire time..... It's a horrible feeling to realize that I am disposable.
Shards of blue - white intensity pierce my borrowed bloodshot eyes
A spectrum of thoughts flood my mind as I try and make any sense of this.
I always end the day the same
Feeling this was the plan the entire time..... It's a horrible feeling to realize that I am disposable.

Lonely Heart
Loneliness is cruel
it hurts deep inside
and never repeals
and just when you believe it can’t get worse
it does
I listen to the sound of my heartbeat
and hear the echoes
of my losses
defeats
and well kept secrets
I speak to my conscience clearly
and in my silence
I reach out to embrace my inner self
but I am full of despair
and can’t hold on to anything
it hurts deep inside
and never repeals
and just when you believe it can’t get worse
it does
I listen to the sound of my heartbeat
and hear the echoes
of my losses
defeats
and well kept secrets
I speak to my conscience clearly
and in my silence
I reach out to embrace my inner self
but I am full of despair
and can’t hold on to anything

Still Running
No matter how fast I run
I cannot get away from myself
I have never been satisfied in this life
and have only known regret
for the things I have done for love
I have never had, wanted or kept money
I just don’t understand the value
in hordes of possessions
these things are only fleeting
and they cannot replace
the touch of a woman
I woke again this morning
in my solitary bed
with a dream of you in my wake
and I felt too naked
even in my clothes ...

50 Cents
People….ugly people, stupid people
wandering through their existence
wasting it like they will live forever
squandered youth
These streets that I walk on are filthy
this Baptist church I walk by smells like piss
and that makes me smile for some reason
This contempt I carry in my gut
Makes me move at a slow pace
As I breathe in the heat of this city
Nobody gives a fuck, the remains of a Burger King meal
lay abandoned only ten feet from a trash can. Fuck.
I watch everybody without making eye...

Love Letter
I wrote a letter to an angel
It was returned by the post office
marked undeliverable
Apparently heaven is an unknown address

Prison Of My Own
The entire restaurant taking glances at me
Judging
The odd man eating alone
Unspoken words
What a Loser
Embarrassed, lonely, unable to concentrate
I ask myself
Am I imaging this?
Slow unnoticed nod
Yes
Eyes stay closed
When I feel I have a grip, my eyes
Slowly open
Still confused
...

The Pub
You sit three chairs down,
nursing a beer as you order a
shot of whiskey
and I watch you gracefully
let the sting hit your tongue
I am struck at your beauty
It makes me feel lonely
so I close my eyes
and live a lifetime
with you
in a moment
My eyes open and with you still
in my thoughts
I stand up
swallow my drink
and step outside
in the sweltering
late night heat

The Fool
I gave her precious stones
when she was already
a diamond
I gave her flowers
when she was already
a lily in a field of roses
I believed I told her everything
she wanted to hear
and all she ever wanted was the truth
I fought her fire
with fire
and extinguished
her fragile soul
So this wreckage who once
had it all because
he had her
sits alone in a room
filled with fools
when she was already
a diamond
I gave her flowers
when she was already
a lily in a field of roses
I believed I told her everything
she wanted to hear
and all she ever wanted was the truth
I fought her fire
with fire
and extinguished
her fragile soul
So this wreckage who once
had it all because
he had her
sits alone in a room
filled with fools
