Pieces
Pieces,
Falling down, down to the ground,
Landing on the pavement making not a sound.
Scattering across a wasteland in our mind,
Some just stay there hoping to be left behind.
We never find those broken pieces anyway,
They're left inside that waste to wither and decay.
The lucky ones become just thoughts of yesterday,
To rest inside our mind in that old trophy display.
No one really understands the value of a fall.
We have to fall to get back up and learn how to stand tall.
Cause many pieces...
Falling down, down to the ground,
Landing on the pavement making not a sound.
Scattering across a wasteland in our mind,
Some just stay there hoping to be left behind.
We never find those broken pieces anyway,
They're left inside that waste to wither and decay.
The lucky ones become just thoughts of yesterday,
To rest inside our mind in that old trophy display.
No one really understands the value of a fall.

As Time Dies (Like Dreams We All Just Fade Away)
The Time flies by,
And it seems we stay the same.
Tomorrows sky,
Holds vanity and self-acclaim.
Head in our hands,
Our souls sold at no cost.
Don’t understand,
The purity that we have lost..
Just blind eyed,
Cant see a thing that’s just right there
No self or pride,
You can purchase us anywhere.
Nothing matters,
Or at least that’s how we act.
Just mad as hatters,
Everyone’s a panic attack.
People don’t see,
The world that is so true,
Most just flee,
Cause thats what they were taught to do.
None really know,...
And it seems we stay the same.
Tomorrows sky,
Holds vanity and self-acclaim.
Head in our hands,
Our souls sold at no cost.
Don’t understand,
The purity that we have lost..
Just blind eyed,
Cant see a thing that’s just right there

Apologies
If I ever let you down, in some way I cant see,
my apologies, all I can be is me.
Sometimes I'm an asshole, and such is true for you,
But forgive me cause I know not what I do.
I'm just a simple soul looking for a piece of mind,
Looking for a Shooting Star I just cant seem to find.
My apologies, but what you see is always Me,
My Love and Hate shown proudly on my sleeve.
And I know that It's not always me you need,
My apologies, thats all that I can be.
I know that I'm not perfect and I never was...
my apologies, all I can be is me.
Sometimes I'm an asshole, and such is true for you,
But forgive me cause I know not what I do.
I'm just a simple soul looking for a piece of mind,
Looking for a Shooting Star I just cant seem to find.
My apologies, but what you see is always Me,
My Love and Hate shown proudly on my sleeve.
And I know that It's not always me you need,
My apologies, thats all that I can be.

Unknown (But Is That A Reason?)
Running through a trail of smoke,
Following the train of words that i spoke.
And i choke,
On the hateful words that once were my cloak.
I wonder if they ever wounded someones heart,
If they were ever the blade that tore one apart.
I wonder if those hearts could ever forgive me,
For being so thoughtless and too blind to see,
We are all just one heart beating the same harmony,
Our souls arent so different, would you not agree?
Its Them,
Those hateful souls that before us condemn,
The...

The Great Escape
I feel so uninspired,
need to sleep but I'm not tired.
Alone again tonight,
Singing whiskey lullabies.
I'm thinking of the one,
the Girl that shines just like the sun.
Wish I could take Her in,
And hold Her close under my skin.
Just drift away from Time,
I close my eyes and Her I find.
Those eyes of golden brown,
And oh, that old familiar smell.
It takes me far away,
Back to when I felt no pain.
I think of love so warm,
Like when I'd hold Her in my arms.
Deadly as She may be,
That girl still has a hold on me.
And when I'm...
need to sleep but I'm not tired.
Alone again tonight,
Singing whiskey lullabies.
I'm thinking of the one,
the Girl that shines just like the sun.
Wish I could take Her in,
And hold Her close under my skin.
Just drift away from Time,
I close my eyes and Her I find.

And oh, that old familiar smell.

The Butcher And The Baker
The Butcher down on Eighth Street,
He's Got a real nice place.
But the Baker right nextdoor to him,
Thinks its a disgrace.
He just cant figure out what tricks,
Make that meat so great.
For years the people pour on in,
"Just for a fucking steak?!"
No one likes the bakery,
The cupcakes or the treats.
Everyone just passes by,
With cravings for the meat.
Many times the Baker's went,
And cursed the Butchers name.
But every time the Butcher smiled,
And said “I’m glad you came!
I’ve got a real nice, juicy steak,
I know you...
He's Got a real nice place.
But the Baker right nextdoor to him,
Thinks its a disgrace.
He just cant figure out what tricks,
Make that meat so great.
For years the people pour on in,

In The House Of God
Once upon a long, lost day,
I wandered from my streets.
I set out to find my way,
Away from this deceit.
As I walked across the land,
I came across a tree.
A door I found, shaped like a hand,
That opened up to me.
I walked in to have a glance,
What I found was a twist.
I thought I'd fallen to a trance,
Like I did not exist.
As I searched I saw a light,
A vague shine up ahead.
It caused my thoughts to ignite,
And filled me up with...
I wandered from my streets.

Story Of A Feeling
About six years ago this feeling came to me,
Which led me to believe this world is paper, I’m the ink,
And the only time a teardrop fell it’d decorate these pages,
Falling letters from my mind, set free from all their cages.
I feel as though this light was placed upon my weary head,
And suddenly the world was not just blue and green and red.
This feeling came upon me unlike anything I’ve felt,
Like a teasing flame beside a candle, forcing it to melt.
My feelings and thoughts just spilled from confines in my mind,
Once dried atop the surface they were all...

VannaD
Her Beauty is that of a summers night,
So Blissful, so Sole, so full of Stars light.
The Love in Her Heart is a flame burning true,
Ever consuming my thoughts and all my Dreams, too.
Surely a Divinity inside me She be,
For such Grace she bestows when Her arms enfold me.
Such pleasure it brings just to feel Her Heart beat,
Responding to mine just like a rhyme, in perfect harmony.
When she kisses my lips I can feel Time just fade,
And to Her Hearts great embrace I evade.
Sometimes I'm so sure she is just a...

Lucy K.
Little Lucy K. cried on the day,
Her mommy packed her bags and just went away.
Didn’t say goodbye or even cry,
Lucy felt the world around wither and die.
Now she was stuck with a father that struck,
And She cried cause she knew there was no worse luck.
She’d go to school and lie for the fool,
Cause she thought deep down He was not cruel.
He’d pull her hair and throw her down the stairs,
But He’d always let her know Daddy cares.
He’d say that he loved her, he was sure,
And he did what he did to build character.
She believed what he...
