Just Another Poet (Just Another Fool)
I wanna rest my weary head there upon your chest,
And let your heart tell me that you are nothing like the rest.
Feel your soft hands running through all of my hair,
Close my eyes and smile cause i know thats when you'll stare.
I wanna hold you all night long and never let you go,
Cause i will never feel so great and thats the truth, i know.
We'll never go to sleep, we'll just stay up all night long,
Lost inside eachother, singing our love song.
I wanna touch your skin and make your body shake,
I see how much you want it, i know your body...
And let your heart tell me that you are nothing like the rest.
Feel your soft hands running through all of my hair,
Close my eyes and smile cause i know thats when you'll stare.
I wanna hold you all night long and never let you go,
Cause i will never feel so great and thats the truth, i know.
We'll never go to sleep, we'll just stay up all night long,
Lost inside eachother, singing our love song.
I wanna touch your skin and make your body shake,
I see how much you want it, i know your body...

Darkness On A Weary Soul
I never meant to be so bad,
I dont know why I feel so fucking mad.
Since I recall I've been this way,
I tried so hard to not just go astray.
But everything I tried to do
Just built it up, inside my hunger grew.
And Innocence fell through my hands,
I have become something, just not a Man.
A monster with such lying eyes,
Those who have trusted rest in graves tonight.
I didnt mean to bring such Pain,
Couldnt control the thing that I became.
It lived in my veins, lived in my Heart,
And with...

Hopeless
He was foolish, so it seemed,
And she was all he wanted,
More than anything he'd ever dreamed.
He asked her for the time of day,
But he never got it,
Still he loved her more than he could say.
She was always there at school,
To laugh and tease him,
Always made him feel himself a fool.
All he would do is smile,
Walk the other way and,
Hope that she would like him after while.
He wrote her notes in class,
But he would never send them,
Thinking all she'd do is start to...

Comfort
Patience, the pain escapes
to false realities far away.
Time is not perceived quite right,
but all is well because you have no plight.
Close your eyes and you'll evade this life,
to a place that's free of pain and strife.
Just rest your head and spread your wings,
fly away now to induced dreams.
Drift away from everything.
Now pleasure has become of you,
and everything else seemed to just leak through.
You should start to fade quite fast,
and then serenity at last.
Take comfort...
to false realities far away.

A Story Called Life
Here is a story about two souls,
Colliding in time with no complete control.
Jack was a bartender, loved his beer,
Mary was a lonely girl searchin’ for cheer.
She slid in a chair down at Ed’s Bar,
Asked for a whiskey and bud, just to start.
Jack gave a smile, said “This one’s on me”,
She smiled as she put down that old Tennessee.
He asked why a girl like her was there,
“You should be off with somebody somewhere.
How come a beautiful girl like you,
Looks like she doesn’t know what to...

Broken Wings
I broke my wings and fell from grace,
Fell unto a cold, dark place.
Tried to stand but lost my ground,
Just gave in and fell back down.
Now i dont know if I can,
Dont expect you'd understand.
Nothings left inside of me,
The dream is gone, im so empty.
I take my head into my hands,
And watch as every teardrop lands.
Seems to me the light has gone,
Now its dark, the same old song.
Will my wings grow back to fly,
Away from here into the sky?
Someday soon a...

Tears In Babylon
Tonight, somewhere, a baby cries,
His Daddy aint home and His Mama's too high.
He just wants someones warm embrace,
But He just doesn't know that He's in the wrong place.
He cries and cries but He's alone,
His Mama's too high and Daddy aint home.
-
Tonight there's tears in Babylon,
Behold, the Tempest rages on.
Though you can’t hear the sad, sad song,
Tonight there's tears in Babylon.

Tonight, somewhere a Soldier died,
Took His own life cause he couldn’t close his...

My Little Devil
At glance She is an Angel,
Beautiful and bright as Day.
But if you look inside, she says,
That little Angel fades away.
She's convinced She is the voice,
That whispers songs of Wickedness,
And anyone that listens
falls from Grace with such a quickness.
And If what She says is true,
then on Her list I'm number one.
For none have listened with such passion,
with such interest, as I have done.
None have seen the light that shines,
upon Her when She's not...

Heaven At My Door
Someone gave this Gun to me,
Now i shoot it constantly.
Dont wanna shoot it anymore,
Cause Heaven's knocking on my door.
Dont wanna be this broken Man,
Cant even calm His shaking hands.
Cant put this Gun down, cant you see?
I'm still at War inside of me,
So many wounds disgrace my name,
So many scars that show my shame.
Dont wanna be this anymore,
So close to opening the door.
I'm so tired, so tired of Pain,
So tired of this life I feign.
I wanna change my wicked ways,...
Now i shoot it constantly.
Dont wanna shoot it anymore,
Cause Heaven's knocking on my door.

So many scars that show my shame.

So close to opening the door.

So tired of this life I feign.
