Poet Introduction
I'm a door which ever way you open it will always lead you outside
Dear secret admirer
Dear secret admirer.
I'm blindly writing this letter hoping it'll find its way to you.
I've wrapped it in a bottle and thrown it in the ocean.
I lied awake last night trying to make out pictures of your face.
With the letters you wrote me lying on my chest.
I don't know who you are but I just want to tell you that you are the best.
Letters you wrote me, gifts you've left me are better than the rest,
But my heart never seems to rest.
Maybe I'm too selfish,
how can I ask for more from someone who's already given me all this?
Someone who has...

it's just a matter of time
The lines between heart and mind are no longer blur.
It suddenly all starts to make sense.
I can see clearly now the dust has settled.
I thought it was love,
But I for one never really knew what love is.
I was blindly following my heart not my head.
I dived heard first, I guess we all fall into this trap.
Vague feelings we hardly comprehend.
But should I blame her?
Or am I just as guilty for being a fool?
She found another.
She followed her heart not her head.
She dived head first.
I guess we're not so different after all. ...

all i am
All I am
Is a someone who is angry at the world.
Someone who feels owed by the world.
All the things that were taken from me.
All the people that were taken from me.
The things that I didn't have,
All the things I wish I had.
So I sit and wonder.
If one day I had all the riches of the world,
Would they be enough?
If one day I had a pretty wife and a fast car,
Will my thirst be quenched?
Maybe I don't know what is happiness.
Maybe I'm just too good at being sad.
Who can tell if I've always had something good going,
Yet...

love outlaws
The preachers daughter,
And the devil son.
To be in love, we need to live on the run.
The world doesn't approve of our love.
A queens daughter,
And a peasant son.
To be in love, we need to live on the run.
For royal only marries royal blood.
Kings finest are out on the hunt.
For I've been branded an outlaw for my love.
A second is all that we've got.
Your palace is always roaming with guards.
Stolen moments and blown kisses is all we've got.
Yet that doesn't tarnish the fact that we're in love.

only if Jesus never died
If only Jesus never died.
Maybe love would have survived.
we would have had the courage to stand and fight.
To fight for all we believe is right.
this fight would be worth the price.
we would have learnt to dance to the rhythm of the night,
And see the day when nobody died.
Only if jesus never died.
Maybe the deaths of our brothers and sister wouldn't be vein
our sacrifices and prayers would have paid.
we would have learnt to overcome the pain.
this dammed human race would have been saved.

Circling in silence
Circling in silence.
Looking for words to break the silence.
All my feelings I harbor for you, I'm looking for a way to express them.
Caught between my thoughts and words that I wish to believe are powerful enough to show you I truly care.
But '''When the words,
Weigh heavy on the heart.
I am lost
And lead only by the stars'''.
I shall find my way to you.
I'll move mountains to find my way to you.
And if I should lose my self in my quest of finding my way to your heart.
Cage me like an animal by your throne.
Cause I believe in my...

My pain made me strong but almost killed me
My pain made me strong but almost killed me.
If my life was to be written in a book, it'll be a sad sad story.
A man life written in misery.
Despite it all I just want to remember my faintest memories of glory.
All the years of loss,
All my years of my rise and fall have made me strong.
I had to act tough and hide my scars yet that almost killed me.
Every moment of joy has a stain of blood.
I can't afford to take a corner of happiness, I'm always thinking about the pain that awaits ahead.
I'm a man who walked through hell...

f**ked up world
You might believe someone loves you until they have what they want from you.
They'll have you believe you're the only one,
Flowers, midnight calls and good morning massages.
They'll have believe you're in love, have you open parts of your heart you've sworn not to let anyone in.
You'll bring down your every wall and give in.
You might believe someone loves you until they have what they want from you.
It's a fucked up world we live in.
Your friend will swear they'd die for you if it's to come to that.
They will cry with you when you cry,
They'll be...
