I Wish I Could Help you .
I wish I could give you my eyes so you can view yourself as I do
You could see the way your smile brings Life and colour into a room
The comfort in your being , your care-filled heart and mind
knowing that your someone who could give sight to the blind
You would never drop your smile
That big ol cheeky grin
You would see what you deserve and throw your past right in the bin .
I wish that I could help you , I think I need to try,
If you could go ahead and see yourself right through my eyes.

Who I am !
Who I was 20yrs ago is not Who I was 10yrs ago
Who I was 10yrs ago is not Who I am today
Who I am today is not Who I will be tomorrow
Everyday is a new me , every me is A slightly more experienced version of Who I was ,
And this is the only thing that defines Who I am.
To change
I learn
To learn
I listen
To listen
I had to change .

Casino
There is no better place in my city to be alone, everyone is distracted by flashing lights , addiction and alcoholism , at this point in time I am here but not existant , pleading , feeding the pokies , a delusion of pacifying paradise while pushing their pensions .
Black Jack, baccarat, roulette where the rules are set to signify a lie to you ... the machines will cry to you , I don't mean to pry to you but if you try the same dedication to life then you can beat the addiction that controls you ....

The reflections of A lost Goodbye (white lines on the bitumen)
I have driven this road so many times before in the past
I will drive this road so many more times in the future
The rout that I drive never held any further significance for me until .... well
Until I met you.
I remember driving this road for our first encounter
A full tank of anxiety fueld excitment as ,
I drove with you by my side , loving memories of our banter, driving late at night finding comfort in one another's silent presence
I remember driving that road alone , empty in my heart as I manuvered into the worst crash I have ever experienced ... ...

Train Passing
Looking down at my feet on the cold grey tiles , the tips of my shoes edging closer towards the yellow line , i can read the text stencilled on the ground although like the scramble of thoughts in my head these words make no sense to me .
I hear a tremble coming from the tunnel up the tracks . Lights gleaming brighter as they make their way towards the station , I blankly stare as they approach , Paralyzed by the thought of ending it all .
A train passes the platform on its express journey to the stadium , the wind from the carriage hits my face like punch to the cheek . I...

Behind the cameras
A skeletal hand reaches out from a blinding light ,
Inviting me to the darkness beyond the earth realms plight,
Side stage waits , I'll step into the shaddows on the wings
To walk away from the stage to see what the unknown brings ,
I no longer fear
For I am not long here
Inviting me to the darkness beyond the earth realms plight,
Side stage waits , I'll step into the shaddows on the wings
To walk away from the stage to see what the unknown brings ,
I no longer fear
For I am not long here

Looking in
Have you ever considered while your out fine dining ?
There's a kid sitting at home Hunger pains he's crying
His mother does her best to keep providing
She's works till the am everyday cos she's trying
To provide for he boy after she caught hubby lying
So he waits on his own late nights subsiding
Bides his time in the rhymes that he writes
To distract him from the cracked wall home he resides
Wants to break the chains but the shackles are too tight
To young to move out misfortune collides and he tries
But he's tired and tortured and...

Chemical imbalance
There's a cigar burn on my heart,
Scars that never heal just tear apart,
This black dog weighs heavy on my shoulders,
Days keep repeating only I'm getting older,
I miss getting knees grazed
While playing in the rain,
Youthful tears to hide away the pain,
Thinking back it was silly to sulk over some of the stupid crazes,
Now I'm losing my mind in bad places ,
The worst part is I can feel it all slip away,
Pieces of my soul breaking off like a cigarette in an ashtray,
Struggling to wake up in the morning
Not tired but knowing about ...

Relapse
it's A sinking feeling
like the ocean has opened
waves crashing down
seeming all to familiar
words I can't get out
when I try talk
I splutter
The clouds casting darkness
I'm still reaching for air
can't see
can't breath
wanting but I
Can't speak
...............................
I'm cold
.......
shivering in the icey waters that i have fallen
not crying but Bawling
this time might be the right time for me to go away tonight
i can't keep fighting,

Drive
Drive
The power and force
To push forward no matter what
And show no remorse
To get what you want
To never give up
Broken hearts , broken mind
To find the time to sacrifice ...
Yes sacrifice
Give up
Don't try
Lie to yourself
Justify the time given
Time given to your art , to express your soul
To focus on you
It's your mental health
Others actions aren't worth your exhaust
Take the steering wheel
Put your foot down
Run down the hoards of the mind controlled crowds
You...
The power and force

Justify the time given
Time given to your art , to express your soul
To focus on you
It's your mental health
Others actions aren't worth your exhaust
Take the steering wheel
Put your foot down
Run down the hoards of the mind controlled crowds
You...

I'm 30
It's easier to find another way
When things get tough
It's easier to just walk away
Rather than putting in the work
I'll go the pub to procrastinate
Started when I was 18
Get it done later
I'm fucking 30 now
And shit still isn't finished
When I finally seeked help
I got prescriptions to seal my fate
When the effects wear down
I lye in the gutter again
Back to where I started
Under a mountain of debt
Regret
Can't afford to move on
Don't save me
Let me decay
I don't wanna grow up ...

I'm drunk,need help , won't ask , don't tell
I can't help but feel pain
This life I chose is too deranged
Confusion with the illusion
Of being so tired and abused man
I keep the feelings on my side
Try to hide but it don't feel right
Fight the pain and affliction
Tried to stand but down iv been stricken
The wicked pain I felt the Shame
As I tire I tried to rearrange
The strange feeling when I turned the page
But the books in a flaming rage ,
I burnt this time trapped in a cage
Fuck this shit I'll be asstranged
As I cry in this night of Shame
I'm...
