Poet Introduction
Been writing songs since I was nine. I can't be the judge of when they started being good, but I have a massive backlog that I'm going to be dumping here. Possibly all of them, even though a lot are rather embarrassing.

Signed Letter
I remember walking with you in the sun.
Dawn looked like a new world begun.
The air was always fresh and clean.
And I had a shoulder I could lean on.
But now you’re gone.
And I’m still here.
Still waiting for you to come back, dear.
The sun still shines.
The days will get better.
I’m left behind alone.
It’s in my mind.
I sign this letter.
And mail it to the unknown.
Wind and rain came again just like before.
But now I don’t know what is in store.
Only now I know that I cannot pretend.
And that in...

Kindness You Show Me
So bright the light ahead of me in the tunnel.
I can barely even see.
But I can see your hand reaching down from above.
To take hold of the lowly me.
I’m forever grateful you pulled me out.
Of my deepest of fogs.
Stood me up on my own two feet and.
In one moment you were gone.
But the kindness you show me won’t be forgotten.
I will bring others the healing word.
It’s just the kindness you show me enhances my life.
And I’ll forever praise the call you heard.
Separate me from the walk of life I travel.
And I’ll...

Separate me from the walk of life I travel.
And I’ll...

Black Machine
I've been runnin'.
Runnin' out of dreams to write and places to hide.
As it rains.
Rains another night out here.
Where there's nothing to fear but the rain and the jungle.
I hear your pain.
I hear you mumble.
Something about killing our dreams.
Flashing sex scenes.
Even though it means you're a Black Machine.
I guess I didn't hear you right.
Are you coming?
Coming out of your dreams to write of the faces we fight.
It's insane.
Save your brother's life out there.
But it's not like I don't care about the rain and...
Runnin' out of dreams to write and places to hide.
As it rains.
Rains another night out here.
Where there's nothing to fear but the rain and the jungle.
I hear your pain.

Flashing sex scenes.
Even though it means you're a Black Machine.
I guess I didn't hear you right.

Like To Say
I’ve seen you now a many a time.
Sitting on the park bench.
With scarf wrapped tight around you.
Just trying to feed the birds.
You come here often with a dime.
To pay for seed by cent.
And that’s just where I found you.
Just a laying in the dirt.
I tried to call a help for you.
You cried me not to go.
For you had a story to tell.
So somebody would know.
When lass you stepped up to the line.
And donned a uniform.
You marched against the greatest crime.
Long before I was born.
At first I...

Tell Me The Story
Tell me the story.
Fame doesn't mean a thing.
Battles and glory.
And the blood we drink.
Show me your powers.
Blow me away.
Hide in your towers.
Have it your way.
Battles won and hard fought wars.
Gives everyone endless scars.
Drink your fill, but be prepared.
Cause someone will where no one dared.
Tell me the story.
Tell me the tale.
Live to spread the glory.
Of those you have set sail.
Futuristic evils.
Creeping toward our ship.
We could all be civil.
Or we could lose our...

Out Of Love
Lights on the highway show me home.
Life of a sad day I've never known.
The jig is up, I know something's wrong.
I can't go on and sing another song.
All around me people fade away.
Another April turns into May.
Another year has come and gone without you by my side.
My fantasy says you told the truth but reality says you lied.
Oh, baby, come, open your door.
Let me in out of the sun.
Take off all your clothes.
Dance in the rain.
We become one.
Kiss me on the lips as the rain falls.
Aimlessly run.
Sleep...
Life of a sad day I've never known.

For The Night
I’ll open my door.
And let you inside.
Cause I want you more.
Than I know is right.
Pour it onto me.
All your loving, babe.
I just want to see.
That I can be safe.
For the night has just begun.
For sun has come and gone.
We will dance in the moonlight.
Until the day returns.
For the night has just begun.
And the sun has come and gone.
Hold me closer all night.
Until the day returns.
Come down to me.
Teach me your ways.
Set my love free.
Lift off the haze.
Take away...
And let you inside.
Cause I want you more.
Than I know is right.
Pour it onto me.
All your loving, babe.
I just want to see.
That I can be safe.
For the night has just begun.
For sun has come and gone.
We will dance in the moonlight.
Until the day returns.
For the night has just begun.
And the sun has come and gone.
Hold me closer all night.
Until the day returns.
Come down to me.
Teach me your ways.
Set my love free.
Lift off the haze.
Take away...

Lazy In The Days Of Industry
Who can choke us?
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.
Lazy in the days...
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.
Lazy in the days...

Powerflux
Miles and miles of road just to get home.
I can't justify it, it would be wrong.
But there is a place so far away where my heart belongs.
Walk through the trees.
Look to the sky.
I feel the breeze.
I feel my life.
Oh, well, silence overtook me.
I have freedom to be free.
This is the only life I live for.
The only God I believe.
Bring hope back to me.
There's a place so far away.
Bring hope back to me.
Give me what I seek.
Kiss me on the cheek.
Live me, live a freak. ...

Taking On The World
Take a moment from your day.
To look into my eyes.
I told you once, what can I say?
To make you realize.
Nothing will improve, my friend.
And nothing will get worse.
It stays the same until the end.
I’m sorry if that hurts.
So push yourself to overdrive.
And hit with all your strength.
Because it’s always you against the world.
Struggle to win, fight and strive.
Heaven sent or hell bent.
Because it’s always you against the world.
Taking on the myriads.
The multitudes enforce.
Remember all...
To look into my eyes.
I told you once, what can I say?
To make you realize.
Nothing will improve, my friend.
And nothing will get worse.
It stays the same until the end.
I’m sorry if that hurts.
So push yourself to overdrive.
And hit with all your strength.
Because it’s always you against the world.
Struggle to win, fight and strive.
Heaven sent or hell bent.
Because it’s always you against the world.
Taking on the myriads.
The multitudes enforce.
Remember all...

Jungle Stadium
I could sing about Kentucky but I wasn't born there.
I've never been anywhere.
I could go to California, but I'd rather be in Texas.
I never meant to mourn ya in the battle of the sexes.
Never thought I'd lower myself down to saying a dirty word.
But apparently it's exercise that's never said or heard.
If I'd been born in Oklahoma you know I'd have moved to Omaha.
But I live up hear in Canada with my good old ma and pa.
Spit on the fire.
Maybe it'll run away.
I know I would.
You haven't brushed your teeth in days.
You know I wasn't...
I've never been anywhere.
I could go to California, but I'd rather be in Texas.
I never meant to mourn ya in the battle of the sexes.

We Hope You Enjoyed The Show
The night comes down and starlight rises high into the sky.
Shining down upon the world with brilliant loving eyes.
So millions of years have passed and still they shine alone.
But somewhere behind those eyes the heart has turned to stone.
You little creatures squirming on my floor.
Crawling, climbing up towards my door.
You don’t know what’s good for you.
And you never will.
No more will I bide my time.
Receive the master’s will.
For the crimes you’ve committed, atrocities you’ve dreamed.
I will peel back the heavens...
Shining down upon the world with brilliant loving eyes.
So millions of years have passed and still they shine alone.
But somewhere behind those eyes the heart has turned to stone.
You little creatures squirming on my floor.
Crawling, climbing up towards my door.
You don’t know what’s good for you.
And you never will.
No more will I bide my time.
Receive the master’s will.
For the crimes you’ve committed, atrocities you’ve dreamed.
I will peel back the heavens...
