I Wish I Wasn't Me
I've always been the good guy
And everyone I meet would like to be my friend
But of all the people in the world
I wish I wasn't me
I would take instead of give
I'd never fall in love again, I'd be one of the users
Never again one of the losers
If I just wasn't me
I could take my life and stop this pain
If I didn't have to face myself, face the inner me
My soul's too strong to defeat
Oh God, please let me be
If I wasn't me
I could ignore her and forget this loss
But I'm not quite strong enough
Love's...

I Am
I am opinionated and need to express myself
I wonder if anyone else feels the way I do
I hear the voices of tongues afraid to speak
I see the faces of those who've turned away
I want to cure the world of greed and fear and pride
I pretend that I am the U.S. President
I feel like I can change the world with a wave of my hand
I touch the hearts of those without compassion
I worry that those without compassion have no hearts to touch
I cry when reality is more painful than movies about pain
I am opinionated and need to express myself
I...

The Unveiling
Wide eyed men may look at you
And know that you are beautiful
Yet they are blind
For they see only with their eyes
They see beauty only where it lies
Vision can't reveal love to me
For I let my heart lead the way
And I can see
Deeper than two hundred miles away
And hear it in every word you say
The world seems too dark sometimes
But you cast my shadows away
Open your eyes
And see that I can open your heart
Beyond the painting hides a work of art
Fools would put you on display
Or keep you safely tucked...
And know that you are beautiful
Yet they are blind
For they see only with their eyes
They see beauty only where it lies
Vision can't reveal love to me
For I let my heart lead the way
And I can see
Deeper than two hundred miles away
And hear it in every word you say
The world seems too dark sometimes
But you cast my shadows away
Open your eyes
And see that I can open your heart
Beyond the painting hides a work of art
Fools would put you on display

Friends and Lovers
We're closer now than ever we've been
Holding strong two lights that burn
Down the darkest roads and dead ends
We'll walk on without a turn
The best of friends
There are times I see a beauty
Transcending perfect friendships
I dream of you in a nighty
The lace off your shoulder slips
OHhh so pretty!
I held you sleeping as you were
Lost in thought, you in my arms
Yet it seemed no more than a blur
Seeing myself in my dreams
As your lover
Making love on a straight beam
We could do it, you and me
As long as we both...

Hiding Hollow Eyes
She lives in a fantasy world
dreaming from within her pretend life
She told me I was the one
to be the father and she would be the wife
She fell asleep where the weaver wove
a dream of silk and softer skies
She lost her way and forgot my name
then turned away to hide her hollow eyes
I wanted so badly to believe this love
was more than mere fleeting dreams
I was willing to close my eyes
let the weaver sew me in between the seems
I would have made children with her
and been her San Franciscan...

Friendship Is Fine, But....
I think it's time for a sincere confession
Before this becomes a clouded deception
I can no longer be the Joe that you knew
Because I want to get something going with you
I'm not the same man, I hope our changes rhyme
It's been a long while, a lots happened in the mean time
I've met a lot of girls and a lotta woman too
It'd sure be nice to get something going with you
Women are rarely what they put on for show
And I've been with enough phonies to know
None of them can touch you, not even any two
I'd really love to get something going...

I Want Into Your Heart
Sitting here alone, all these miles away
All I can think about is taking off your negligee`
But love can't survive on lust and passion
For they are no more than a temporary sensation
Your pants can wait, I want into your heart
Love takes its own sweet time and my heart has had a head start
I'll never push you into anything
I'm in to making love in love; I don't want a one-night fling
To feel your heart beating in sync with mine
Can only be accomplished if we let our love combine
I hope the void isn't too far to cross
Let's go away together...

One Heart Too Strong To Live
Love deals one last crushing blow
Time and time again my heart has given in
Although my mind always seems to know
It never tries to warn the pulsing orb within
After the collapse begins
My heart marches on like a proud warrior
To the battle that it never wins
With all its inner toughness, it feels inferior
While waging a silent war
No one around me can hear my raging heart
Not even she who I feel them for
Knows the strength of feelings that break the core apart
*05/04/2001

Tired Of Life
I'm so fucking tired I just want to sleep
Tired of living and being alone
I'm so tired of feeling like this hole is too deep
Nothing is worth the rate on this loan
Where are you my love, where are you tonight
I'm shaking with fear that you're not alone
I can't take the pain, I give up the fight
I'm afraid I may die from fear of the unknown
But I'd rather not know, I'd much rather die
Than to find out you're happy and smiling
While looking in the eyes of another guy
Now my eyes are closing from hours of crying
This may...
