sitting be sides a man
Sitting be sides a man
I thought I'll one day be.
Sitting be sides a man,
Sitting be sides my dreams
So far lost, to who I've thought I'll be
So close but feels like we are miles apart.
I can see how happy he is, from the look of his face
So happy you could swear he was touched by grace
I asked myself
if I go back and try to re-run my race
Maybe I could catch up with the man of my dreams
Or should I wait to live again
And copy his every move cause it seems there's so much to gain
Sitting be sides a man
I thought...
I thought I'll one day be.
Sitting be sides a man,
Sitting be sides my dreams
So far lost, to who I've thought I'll be
So close but feels like we are miles apart.
I can see how happy he is, from the look of his face
So happy you could swear he was touched by grace
I asked myself
if I go back and try to re-run my race
Maybe I could catch up with the man of my dreams
Or should I wait to live again
And copy his every move cause it seems there's so much to gain
Sitting be sides a man

art of misery 10
I want to pull you out of the fire
But I'm afraid to get burned
I can see the fire consuming you
I'm helpless I'm hoping you can pull through
With every fall of strand of hair
The lines on your lips start to tear
I wish I can do something other than standing there
I can see how the chemo isn't really helping you
I can see how it drives you insane and it's slowly killing you
I want to pull you out of the fire
But I'm afraid to get burned
My cure for the cancer has not yet been credited
Now I'm trapped at a cross road to pick...

diary of a deadman 50:deep blue sea
Made all my sacrifices but god didn't reply
Sold my soul but the devil didn't buy
Sinking stones around my neck
I'm looking for someone to lend me a hand
And spare me with their breathe
Because I'm drowning in the deep blue sea
If I had a little bit of faith, I'd walk on this water
But my heart is heavy with regret
I won't say I did the best I can
I've always kept a little bit for myself to spare
Now I know there's no point in looking back
Sinking stones are around my neck
Can you please lend me a hand
And spare me with...
Sold my soul but the devil didn't buy
Sinking stones around my neck
I'm looking for someone to lend me a hand
And spare me with their breathe
Because I'm drowning in the deep blue sea
If I had a little bit of faith, I'd walk on this water
But my heart is heavy with regret
I won't say I did the best I can
I've always kept a little bit for myself to spare
Now I know there's no point in looking back
Sinking stones are around my neck
Can you please lend me a hand
And spare me with...

I sent it the sun but it landed on the Moon
I sent it to the sun but it landed on the Moon
I was looking for comfort from the sun but only found the cold and dark side of the Moon
I sent it to the sun but it landed on the Moon
There was no honey but only just thorns on the other side of the Moon
I shoot it to your heart but it fell right next to it
It fell to the spot where you keep things you don't need
It fell to the spot where insignificant things live on you
I poured my heart out writing it to you
But it was just words and careless whispers that never made it to you
Everything I...

Shhh I can't be too loud
Shhhh listen I can't be too loud
These words are only meant for your ears only
These words are written for your eyes only
I'm afraid if I shout walls with ears will start talking
I'm afraid the meaning of these words will be lost in the echo of my voice of I shout
Shhhh listen I can't be too loud
These words am I'm about to speak are a reflection of my heart
Maybe I've said this before
maybe you're lost in an abyss of where this is coming from
Yet one thing is for certain
"you don't know when love begins, but you know when it's...

Picture of a house
I'm trying to paint a picture of a house
A house worthy for someone descent to live in
With colorful and warm walls
I'm trying to paint a picture of a house
With a corridor wide enough for a chubby and jolly person to fit in
I can picture the view through the window, birds chipping
Sunny skies and Sea saws swinging
I'm trying to paint a picture of a house
I'm trying to paint a lie
I don't wanna paint these walls clustering in
I don't wanna paint the house that's impossible for a ant to fit in
With chains around the door, trying to...

ask not where i've gone
Ask not where I've gone
My hustle is in the streets
Ask not what I've lost
My success is not material objects that can be pointed with fingers
Ask not where my voice has gone
In my silence my thoughts are poetic
Ask not if the fire in my belly has been extinguished
My every breathe is an inferno that eclipse the sun
Ask not if I've lost my path
A man will always find his destiny even in a path he chooses to avoid it
Ask not why I'm dead
A man forever lives on in his legacy
Ask not ions pass and legends fall
Ask not...

Ride along
Some people scream black lives matter
Some people scream all lives matter
But I don't know if I have a life to say it matters at all
She claims that
He takes that
They all want the same thing
I don't even know what I want at all
Some say it's that way
Some argue it's this way
I don't even know where I'm going at all
Some believe to saved
Some believe he'll return and only some will be saved
Some look for him in the sky
Some are waiting on the return of the son
Some believe he has already passed
I doubt...

Nail to jesus cross
I was sharpened harder than before
I was sharpened harder for victory
I could feel joy in the hammer's wielder, victory had finally befall
I can never recall
If I was the first one in
All I heard were cries of Jesus tied to a cross
I went in deep, piercing his flash and drilling holes into his bones
Finally my crime was a victory for all
I stood proud and full of joy
I've brought freedom to all
Then the spear of destiny came around and took the spot
I wasn't the main act of the plot after all
When all was done, what was...
