a million sounds
Language
Fragile words and letters
Tripping over each other
No one any better
A million sounds
Each uniquely different
Some are frail and thin
Some corse and strong
Some fade like the wind
Some don't last for long
A million sounds
Each uniquely different
Sometimes there are two
That sound alike
But if you get them wrong
Its like lick and like
Two words very different
Please use them correctly
Cuz if you use them wrongly
And ass ran cup that bee .

Music
Music is the lifeblood of the soul
A language that never changes
Emotions
Floating on waves of sound
Soaring straight into our heart
Written yet never exactly the same
Each tiny interval clear to see
There are laws
But You are free
It can be short
It can be long
Sad and mellow
Or wild and strong
Its with you always
No matter where you go
A symphony
Or the call of a crow
So will you please
With me today
Give music a little credit
For smoothing our way
A language that never changes
Emotions
Floating on waves of sound
Soaring straight into our heart
Written yet never exactly the same
Each tiny interval clear to see
There are laws
But You are free
It can be short
It can be long
Sad and mellow
Or wild and strong
Its with you always
No matter where you go
A symphony
Or the call of a crow
So will you please
With me today
Give music a little credit
For smoothing our way

What is this place?
Darkness surrounds me
Tortured screams
Blood seeping across the floor
What is this place?
The voices in my head
Or are they around me
Scream in twisted, screeching chorus
What is this place?
My senses strain
My pupils dilated
Straining to find....what?
What is this place?
My skin sears
A line of pain
The snap of a single tail
What is this place?
Two more lines of pain
They join the first
Before subsiding into a dull throb
What is this place? ...
Tortured screams
Blood seeping across the floor
What is this place?
The voices in my head
Or are they around me
Scream in twisted, screeching chorus
What is this place?
My senses strain
My pupils dilated
Straining to find....what?
What is this place?
My skin sears
A line of pain
The snap of a single tail
What is this place?
Two more lines of pain
They join the first
Before subsiding into a dull throb
What is this place? ...

I hope so
Nevermore'
Said the Raven to Poe
Never again to see
The pure beauty
That is life
To slip into darkness
As a feather on the wind.
Death
What a cold word for an eternity apart
We see but we do not comprehend
How can someone so close
Simply cese to exist
We remember them
They're never truly dead to our mind
But they are gone
We comprehend but we do not know
Will we meet again
I hope so
We pick the pieces up
But we are still searching
For that touch of their soul
Then it hits us
That we won't hear...

Tangled web of lies
Tangled webs of lies
What is it that we criticise
Politicians, policies?
We call this a democracy?
Why then is it we cant see
That we aren't really free
And we hide all out insecurities
Behind masks even we cant see
But no one can see the ways
That we're controlled every day
New weapons same old ways
Repeating the wars of old
Like we were never told
Oh wait
Sad to say
We weren't told the truth of yesterday
Fighting wars pays
But we are the ones that pay
The price of tangled lies
Politicians compromise...

The script
So many possibilities,
Infinite in fact
Yet we only see the few
That fit into out act
We act out life
Much like a Shakespearian play
And yet we dream
Of a better day
Well better days aren't coming
Unless we change our act
Unless the script is changed
Unless we choose to act
A new play isn't easy
It won't come overnight
But it won't come at all
If we don't chose the light
So put down the old script
Put down weapons, hate and pain
Let's forge ahead together
Let the new play now
Begin.

Not the Phoenix, but the ashes
If I lit one candle from my grief,
If I lit one candle for my pain,
If I lit one candle for my rage,
Still my heart when ne'er be light again
If I had one nickel for my hurt,
If I had one nickel for all the wrongs,
If I had one nickel for my sadness ,
I would be the richest in town.
If I cried one tear for each reminder
That the one that I love lies 6 feet down
If I cried one, just one tear each time I remember
Not a puddle , but a lake would fall to the ground .
If I had just one laugh for each time someone said
" it's not your...

I would be the richest in town.
If I cried one tear for each reminder

If I cried one, just one tear each time I remember
Not a puddle , but a lake would fall to the ground .
