The Death of a Cyber Friend
Trouble was all it was.
Trouble.
The very blood flowing through your veins; trouble.
The very blood flowing through your veins; ice.
Hot ice. Enough to make me feel like it was real.
Hours of words in chat.
Not the useless crap we discuss with the people we think we know.
Real words. Real feelings.
Real enthusiasm. Truth.
Then time zones would slice our time
schedules would clash and sleep would become us.
If that was your real name, I miss that person.
The reality that I lost someone I never knew pains me,
but much less than...

The Gold Digger's Anthem
Chorus
Locket up my heart
Put it in your pocket
You don't really know what you do to me.
You're a smoothe talkin' little manic Monday
Gold and silver fantasy.
And I don't even try
But you tell me that your'e mine.
What am I supposed to say to you?
(say to you)
When I've got you wrapped around my wedding finger like security
Nothing that I say is true.
Verse
See, I've got a problem you don't see
But you're the solution to my greed
I've gotta use what I've got...
Locket up my heart
Put it in your pocket
You don't really know what you do to me.
You're a smoothe talkin' little manic Monday

The Anthem of a Regretful Life (to be renamed)
Verse
I've got a little bit of pain.
I've got a little bit of pride.
I always treat it just the same.
Life never hurt me with goodbye.
I've gotta hold on to my dreams.
I've never asked the reasons why.
The ins and outs and in betweens
They always seem to pass me by.
Hook
Well if life's a game honey
I am a loser
But it's just so great that it's real.
Because I'm winning everything I don't wanna.
It's just not fine with me
Verse
She's got me wishing on the stars
That some day I would have my own.
As we're...
I've got a little bit of pain.
I've got a little bit of pride.
I always treat it just the same.

Numb
I am a dead man walking on a
stony beach traveling through
time.
Time...frozen, broken...
Stopped.
I feel nothing.
I am nothing.
I feel no razor cut my hand.
I see the flesh of a stranger.
No blood drips from me.
Just lead.
Dead.
stony beach traveling through
time.
Time...frozen, broken...
Stopped.
I feel nothing.
I am nothing.
I feel no razor cut my hand.
I see the flesh of a stranger.
No blood drips from me.
Just lead.
Dead.

Thoughts on Religion
I lifted up my eyes to the hills
where the shanty towns danced to the beat of a million drums as
residents flock in their Sunday's best
to houses of praise mangled between the rubble of their livelihoods.
I lifted up my eyes and saw a Hamas rocket fly across the sky and
an Israeli rocket fly across the sky while
God's foot soldiers died in a war fought for a face never seen.
And as voices rose singing Hallelujah and Alhamdullilah, men forgot that they were men and that blood always runs
red.
I lifted up my eyes to see an American...

Fade Away
Verse 1
Many days I try to understand
How the world can spin on no man's hand
And every time I close my eyes
It falls apart.
See the heart's always been no man's land
Every beat of ocean on the sand
Contemplates the nothingness of man
An illusion.
Bridge
So tell me why we've come around so many times
Without ever figuring out the reasons why
Chorus
Get up!
Make the world a better place.
Look up!
Stars aren't there to light your way!
Just breathe in life through everyday.
Some day your life will fade away
...

If God Was Right
Verse 1
If God was right
I'd be afraid
For the people who don't even know his name.
They'd burn in hell
For not believing
That belief was all that mattered in his race.
If God was right
How fair is he
If world hunger doesn't even break his heart?
But he answers prayer to his opulent believers
While the rest of us can't help but fall apart.
Bridge
Your sky daddy don't like the texture of your hair
So he sets up life for you to disappear.
Your sky daddy don't like the nature of your dreams
So...
If God was right
I'd be afraid
For the people who don't even know his name.
They'd burn in hell
For not believing
That belief was all that mattered in his race.

How fair is he
If world hunger doesn't even break his heart?
But he answers prayer to his opulent believers
While the rest of us can't help but fall apart.

Stop Thinking About It...It Makes ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE!
My dog loves cheese and there's no doubt about it
She guards it like a bitch and I'm
not sure if that's nature or if she doesn't mean it.
I think she's a rat...
but I don't really give a damn.
Every time I make a sandwich, she
finds a reason to come inside and steal it.
Why am I telling you this?
She guards it like a bitch and I'm
not sure if that's nature or if she doesn't mean it.
I think she's a rat...
but I don't really give a damn.

Favourite Nightmare
Verse
You're the only one with a key to my heart's empty paradise
And slowly you moved in
Flipped on my switch
Brought me to life
You took my hands
You stole my breath away
Got me caught in your captivating maze
Before I knew it,
Everything had changed
Locked in my head in these heavy chains
Chorus
And I I I am falling from the sky
I I don't wanna hit the ground
'Cause everything is better with my eyes wide shut.
I I I am holding on to something that could never last the night
I tried but...
You're the only one with a key to my heart's empty paradise
And slowly you moved in
Flipped on my switch
Brought me to life
You took my hands
You stole my breath away
Got me caught in your captivating maze
Before I knew it,
Everything had changed
Locked in my head in these heavy chains
Chorus
And I I I am falling from the sky
I I don't wanna hit the ground

Making Love to Death With My Eyes Wide Open
Kiss me.
Hold me close and let me know how much you care.
Tell me a story with your hands.
Those fist hugs around my throat make me want to stay.
Blue and black reminds me just how much you care if I leave.
You love me.
You really love me.
You'd die if I walked away
so I don't have any other option
but to stay.
Whisper words of love into my ear.
Yes. I'm ugly.
I'm fat and nasty and disgraceful.
I pity you have to see me.
I pity you.
Punch me again.
Slap me.
Kill me when I crawl into bed.
We both know what love is....
Hold me close and let me know how much you care.
Tell me a story with your hands.
Those fist hugs around my throat make me want to stay.
Blue and black reminds me just how much you care if I leave.
You love me.
You really love me.
You'd die if I walked away
so I don't have any other option
but to stay.
Whisper words of love into my ear.
Yes. I'm ugly.
I'm fat and nasty and disgraceful.
I pity you have to see me.
I pity you.
Punch me again.
Slap me.
Kill me when I crawl into bed.
We both know what love is....
