I Know Its Not Enough
I'm making this a song, so sorry if I made it as simple as it can be...
My hope is lost,
my will is gone.
Will this ever be over?
No nothing here,
brought all my gear.
Forget me for its all over...
I'm sorry girl,
I overreacted.
I'm just afraid
I'll lose you again.
And so I write,
so this song all for you,
forgive me girl for all I've done.
Not holding to
the past with you.
If you want lets just get it all over.
Though all the love,
I felt for you,
I'll keep them near though its all over.
...

Madman
Drip, Drip,
that was all I hear.
Drip, Drip,
now I'm filled with fear.
I rose, awoke from slumber,
to my surprise I saw a sight so grim.
A sight that's filled with hunger,
of redness all around the scene.
Then it goes, drip, drip,
I stepped back now once more.
I feared it might go back to life,
end my life that's filled with strife.
Then I then realized so quick, so sudden,
if 'deed this sight will end my burden...
Why not approach with lightning speed,
let throats be slit and end this deed.
Then drip, drip,...
that was all I hear.
Drip, Drip,
now I'm filled with fear.
I rose, awoke from slumber,
to my surprise I saw a sight so grim.
A sight that's filled with hunger,
of redness all around the scene.
Then it goes, drip, drip,
I stepped back now once more.
I feared it might go back to life,
end my life that's filled with strife.

Election Once More
The state is lost, yes all is lost,
for men know not his country most.
Elections come, and so they past,
when phonies rule so long and last.
I've asked some old, so too the new,
how do you vote, do you 'ven do?
Same lame answers, all stupid too,
I care not now, if me they'll sue.
For all is lost, the state is lost,
to phonies cash is but they're boss.
To serve the nation, lands so great,
this your goals, your one sole fate!
But so I fear, the state is lost,
for phonies hear no words across.
Poor old country, for all is...
for men know not his country most.
Elections come, and so they past,
when phonies rule so long and last.
I've asked some old, so too the new,
how do you vote, do you 'ven do?

The Strong, The Weak, The Me
I am weak, and so I am,
or so they say, we're all but men.
Some may seem more brave than me,
even more so too more cowardly.
I'd laugh at those they say are tough,
for they know not of all my stuff.
I may look frail unto his eyes,
my heart though, it never dies.
To those who say I am strong,
Nay! I say unto all of you.
I say now you are wrong,
this I say unto all of you.
or so they say, we're all but men.
Some may seem more brave than me,
even more so too more cowardly.
I'd laugh at those they say are tough,
for they know not of all my stuff.
I may look frail unto his eyes,
my heart though, it never dies.
To those who say I am strong,
Nay! I say unto all of you.
I say now you are wrong,
this I say unto all of you.

Thirst
I'll quench my long, longing thirst,
and so I'll drink to the bottom of the glass.
And so I dip my lips in first,
to savor the water and its mass.
And indeed, when I am ready,
slowly I will open wide my mouth.
Though I wish to be steady,
my spirit, he's laying south.
I'll drink to the bottom of the glass,
to quench my long, longing thirst.
As now a moment then went pass,
be damned, the glass, it fell,burst.
Though ashed it's lost forever,
I quenched my thirst at last.
I'll weep a moment, never,
lets...
and so I'll drink to the bottom of the glass.

Find Thy Queen, Bring Her Clean
I smile, I smile,
a fake small smile.
I think I lost her,
my only soul.
My half that's better,
now but a hole.
I smile, I smile,
a fake small smile.
Where could she be now,
a desert bare.
Forgot our love vow,
she didn't care?
From smiles to anger,
I frown, I frown.
Command my army,
seek what is lost.
To hear her sorry,
each land exhaust.
From smiles to anger,
I frown, I frown.
I'll smite her lying,
I'll fuck her down.
She left me flying,
all for the crown.
Command my army,...
a fake small smile.
I think I lost her,
my only soul.
My half that's better,
now but a hole.
I smile, I smile,
a fake small smile.
Where could she be now,
a desert bare.
Forgot our love vow,
she didn't care?
From smiles to anger,
I frown, I frown.
Command my army,
seek what is lost.
To hear her sorry,

From smiles to anger,

And So I've Noticed
All should know the many skills,
to me was taught without no bills.
The art to write with words to vast,
an art to write a song to last.
Start with Simile, the use of like,
"Your beauty like an angel non dare to strike".
The Metaphor now to do so direct,
"Beauty, yours, is of an angel perfect".
To make human those not, Personification,
"The sea now smiles, 'tis her temptation".
Now Allusion, to call forth hist'ry,
"Aphrodite, I see her in your beauty."
Ambiguity, to blur, to widen scope,
"I...

To Hide, Not Forget
The hue of the sky shifted down a notch,
means not to hurry, just open the scotch.
We'll celebrate still our joyous life,
though most of us has yet a wife.
I laughed, I laughed, until I cried,
I wept an image I kept inside.
For yes, though brave, I'm too a man,
forget the past the best I can.
I slept, we all, inside the camp,
young Apollo did lit the lamp.
'Tis he, 'tis he, to you I say,
my son from Mary, she, from the bay.
Too young was I when it began,
a love romantic, I was a fan.
An age I say, I needed love,
'tis...
means not to hurry, just open the scotch.
We'll celebrate still our joyous life,
though most of us has yet a wife.

Lost, Forever Lost
I am lost, a soul long lost
in the darkness of the void.
Though indeed I fear
the task coming near
point blank,
for yes indeed I, yes I,
I am not prepared.
So sudden yet so dim,
a light starts now to gleam.
Slowly, Slowly, I ran.
I grasped, I stumbled.
Now is the time,
now is the only time.
Into the light I sail!
though bleeding,
feeling... death.
He is near. Oh God,
No! Surrender I will not.
Bleeding, feeling...
death, I plunged
into the light.
And so I'm free.
I see the land,
the air,...
in the darkness of the void.
Though indeed I fear
the task coming near
point blank,
for yes indeed I, yes I,
I am not prepared.
So sudden yet so dim,
a light starts now to gleam.
Slowly, Slowly, I ran.
I grasped, I stumbled.
Now is the time,
now is the only time.
Into the light I sail!
though bleeding,
feeling... death.
He is near. Oh God,
No! Surrender I will not.
Bleeding, feeling...
death, I plunged
into the light.
And so I'm free.
I see the land,

Girl of Mine
How i wish every praise you say,
is a praise that you'd say to me.
Every word that you say makes my eyes go pop and lock unto thee...
Everything that I start to do,
I'm doing 'cause of you.
your the woman that's behind me girl "your my strength"- that I concur!
Every rhyme that i'd say today,
I dedicate to you.
Your the reason that I'm in front of all these people - so I thank you!
You've become my soul dear lady,
so please dare not to leave me.
If that day will come I'm sure to die,
so please will...
is a praise that you'd say to me.
Every word that you say makes my eyes go pop and lock unto thee...
Everything that I start to do,
I'm doing 'cause of you.
your the woman that's behind me girl "your my strength"- that I concur!
Every rhyme that i'd say today,

In the End
Man:
To strong and blooming trees,
I cut them down with laughter.
To bold and daring seas,
I empty them with slaughter.
I am now the lord of the land,
leader of the seven seas.
One last domain I am to muster,
its you the sky so soon I'll conquer.
Not long poor sky before you'll die,
not long I say before we'll fly!
And so the Wrights did it my oh my,
so weep now I bid you dear sky.
. . . .
And so its done and I have won,
the sky is mine alone!
In land, sea, air, its every bone,
the greedy...
