Til It's Gone
Bittersweet memories,
how can I be glad,
of what we had,
when I don't have it anymore?
I think you think of me,
or at least I hope,
although deep down,
I know you don't.
You don't know what you got til it's gone,
wish I held you close,
wish I held you close,
You don't know what you got til it's gone,
wish I held you close,
wish I held you close.
Bittersweet memories,
reminiscent woes,
no picking up the pieces,
the wind of change blows,
and it's done,
all over,
and it's done,
and I learn.....
how can I be glad,
of what we had,
when I don't have it anymore?
I think you think of me,
or at least I hope,
although deep down,
I know you don't.
You don't know what you got til it's gone,
wish I held you close,
wish I held you close,
You don't know what you got til it's gone,
wish I held you close,
wish I held you close.
Bittersweet memories,
reminiscent woes,
no picking up the pieces,
the wind of change blows,
and it's done,
all over,
and it's done,

Falling
When I fall,
into the horizon,
I see hope staring back at me,
but I am mistaken,
looks can be decieving.
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep
When I slip,
into the pit,
I see a soft landing,
it hits harder every time,
looks can be deceiving.
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep
If love is the answer,
I'm failing this time,
or am I just falling too soon?
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep
into the horizon,
I see hope staring back at me,
but I am mistaken,
looks can be decieving.
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep
When I slip,
into the pit,
I see a soft landing,
it hits harder every time,
looks can be deceiving.
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep
If love is the answer,
I'm failing this time,
or am I just falling too soon?
Too many times, I fall in deep
Too many times, I fall in steep

Breathe
The walls are closing in,
you're feeling Claustrophobic,
you feel there's no way out,
you're feeling trapped...
The stress release not working,
you're going to fall apart,
you feel like there's no escape,
you're feeling trapped...
But if you just breathe,
it gets a little easier,
if you just breathe,
the anxiety fades away...
The clock is ticking,
way too fast for your liking,
you feel you're losing control,
you're feeling trapped...
Being stressed about being stressed,
is not good for your health,
so...
you're feeling Claustrophobic,
you feel there's no way out,
you're feeling trapped...
The stress release not working,
you're going to fall apart,
you feel like there's no escape,
you're feeling trapped...
But if you just breathe,
it gets a little easier,
if you just breathe,
the anxiety fades away...
The clock is ticking,
way too fast for your liking,
you feel you're losing control,
you're feeling trapped...
Being stressed about being stressed,
is not good for your health,
so...

The Best Things
Standing on the edge of your heart,
Wishing that we would never part,
Told you how I feel that night,
waiting for your love to fly back.
It doesn't matter anymore,
your heart is stolen,
but when it's thrown on the floor,
just remember...
The good things,
are worth waiting for,
The best things,
they're worth trying for.
Standing on the edge of your heart,
can you say you will love me back?
I don't care how long it takes,
I will find your love,
I don't care how much I wait,
I will find your love.
...

War
Destruction,
of the innocent,
is inevitable.
Corruption,
of the leaders,
is the cause.
Destruction...
Corruption...
Loss of the innocent.
Loss of the guilty.
Loss of the indifferent.
And those losses can never be recovered.
Pollution,
of the mind,
is taking place.
Pollution...
War...
Loss of the innocent.
Loss of the guilty.
Loss of the indifferent.
And those losses can never be recovered.

Recovery
I still feel like we're critical,
We've made amends but still we're fools,
We still need to heal the scars,
my body's dying deep in love,
If we get through this alive,
I'll know we have seen the light,
we need strength, and we'll get through,
or else we'll always part
We can heal...
We can recover...
We can heal...
heal the scars...
We can do this, we'll carry on,
If we push right through this, we'll heal the scars,
We must find out what went wrong first,
time is what we need...
as we aim for recovery...
...

Drifting
As I drift through,
aimlessly,
in this requiem of emptiness,
the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
I hear distant voices,
singing,
but I am at peace here,
the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
I tried to end it all,
and didn't quite succeed,
but this place in which I lay,
is the place I wish to be.
Too many thoughts,
crowding,
before I came here,
and now the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
Shall I return to where I was?
Back to where I should be?
Or float here...
aimlessly,
in this requiem of emptiness,
the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
I hear distant voices,
singing,
but I am at peace here,
the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
I tried to end it all,
and didn't quite succeed,
but this place in which I lay,
is the place I wish to be.
Too many thoughts,
crowding,
before I came here,
and now the heavy burden is lifted,
from my shoulders.
Shall I return to where I was?
Back to where I should be?

Fix My Mind
Go now,
I'll be fine,
I'll be taking care of my mind,
I'll be finding a solution,
to the problem,
to the notion,
I've been cruel,
so damn cruel,
you've been kind,
so damn kind,
but I can't sit back any longer,
while you try and fix my mind...
Go now,
I'll be OK,
I don't want to lead you astray,
cos of my problems,
I've got a few,
I've been cruel,
oh, so damn cruel,
and you've been kind,
yes, you've been kind,
that's why you're always on my mind,
but I can't sit back any longer,
while you stand...
I'll be fine,

Equality
Once an old man talked to me
said equality will never be
lived too long and never did see
an act of sacred equality...
If you could save a man his life,
by plunging deep into the knife,
would you make the sacrifice?
would you trade him life for life?
We all want equality
Gender, skin or illnesses
fighting for equality
they can have a part of me...
Somebody always spits on the grave,
would rather let them die than save,
life is wholesome and sacred,
nothing should be taken for free,
for free...
We all want...
