Listen To Me Sing
Is that resentment in you eyes?
What is it that you strive?
You may have found me a broken man
But you have yet to see all of who I am
Just don’t give up on me.
I swear, things aren’t as bad as you expect them to be.
Hold onto my hand, don’t let me sink to the bottom of the sea.
Please, don’t sail away
I’ll do anything to make you stay.
Don’t let me become a memory.
Call anchors away and go out to sea.
Follow the sunset away from me.
Jump overboard in misery
Listen to me sing
You will float back to me.
...
What is it that you strive?
You may have found me a broken man
But you have yet to see all of who I am
Just don’t give up on me.
I swear, things aren’t as bad as you expect them to be.
Hold onto my hand, don’t let me sink to the bottom of the sea.
Please, don’t sail away
I’ll do anything to make you stay.
Don’t let me become a memory.
Call anchors away and go out to sea.
Follow the sunset away from me.
Jump overboard in misery
Listen to me sing
You will float back to me.

Scattered
I told you i love you many time, I got no answer.
I stood there for you many times even when I got no answer.
You confuse my mind and play with my emotions.
"I LOVE YOU".
My soul cries out restlessly without a form of comfort, you stood here with no answer.
My mind is scattered as I try to think of, How?
How do I get you to notice me.
I am right here, standing in the background of your life.
Yet I got no answer.
Let my heart wonder for a minute as I try to gain control.
I have to walk away, Now you answer.
I might Love you back, but my...

When the Day Arrives
My jaw shatters as I receive a right hook
Straight to the core I’m shaken and shook,
“Legs wobbly as my knees become weak
As overdosed vertigo makes it hard to stay on my feet,
“A knee to the ribs causes them to crack
Now I’m on my back, but that does not stop the attack,
“Curb stomped as my face read his Timberland
Causing me to cuss the word ‘goddamn’,
“Images flash through my mind of pieces of my past
Having me wonder how long this beat down will last,
“Resistance and defense is fucking worthless
Because a unconscious...

Know
Feelings are fleeting
Why you keep bleating?
It's my life
So why all the strife?
Try living in my body
See how you go -
Then you may know.
Sometimes it is slow
I can't always be
The star of the show...
One day you will know!
Why you keep bleating?
It's my life
So why all the strife?
Try living in my body
See how you go -
Then you may know.
Sometimes it is slow
I can't always be
The star of the show...
One day you will know!

The End of Conflict
your arms disarm me
affectionate weapon
outgunned by beauty
passionate armory
loaded with a cause
love is the fight
and yet the end of conflict...
affectionate weapon
outgunned by beauty
passionate armory
loaded with a cause
love is the fight

Conform to the Norm
To a great many folks growing up means conforming, like wearing a suit and tie...one does not need to conform to the norm in order to be a responsible (adult) person, pay the bills, keep one's word, etc.
I will not conform in that manner, and hence compromise my true Self...
For that very reason I became an artist Worked most all my life...for myself...
Didn't make a bunch of money...but I worked at what I loved. Paid my bills, kept my word, etc. Life is Good...(though politics suck) .

Cauterize Me
It feels as if someone has removed
The very skin from my body
Words, sayings, speech, tone, phrases
They sting like lemon juice
And cut as deep as paper and razors
I'm so raw and emotionally bleeding out
I need something quickly, desperately
Please, cauterize my heart
The very skin from my body
Words, sayings, speech, tone, phrases
They sting like lemon juice
And cut as deep as paper and razors
I'm so raw and emotionally bleeding out
I need something quickly, desperately
Please, cauterize my heart

Nights Like These
it's nights like these where I sit and think,
how did I stand up for myself,
with no regrets,
all those times,
but now,
I am weak,
and quiet.
it's nights like these where I sit and wonder,
what am I doing wrong,
why doesnt he want me like he wants her,
why am I not what he is looking for,
why do I still hang onto these feelings for him.
it's nights like these where I ask myself,
why do I let people hurt me,
why do I let people take advantage,
why do I let her,
of all people,
step all over me, ...

Santa Coal (smoke break invite)
Breathless, the black sleigh in tatters, metal blasted to hell with the shell lopsidedly flopped open by multiple blast hits… Sooty Santa slides heavily against the belly of his metallic pal, Brix the Dragon; his dark britches sinking his large frame into the snowdrift which had built up against her disappearing side; snow that won't hold up his dense mass. Betrayed by the fluffy chair, he lays his arms with bloody knuckles, which actually welcome the merciful cold, to rest on the surface, only to see them, too, sinking into the fluff. Sitting with his head poking out of his body’s snowy...

Her Grief Behind the Veiled Eyes
Love will never go as planned,
Not like we demand,
Here’s an altar for your wisdom, your teachings,
A sea of suffering is for your body,
For you to swim in all tears we’ve collected.
Yet, could you stand the salt?
The taste of pain in your mouth,
Might be enough to protect.
Why had we loved?
Why had we never sinned,
Even as our exploration only gained the rich sorrow?
Even of a world without another tomorrow?
Even of all to see in the faces we borrowed?
Even of everything to die for, in each pain we followed?
I...

The answer is Maybe
I never understood the pain she must have felt
Leaving the only man she ever loved over a concept
I thought her a fool when she spoke the words
Refusing to be the exception in his religious world
I was so blind thinking their souls were a perfect fate
But a mirror held to us revealed the meaning of inner faith
Choosing a greater love while eternally loving one other
Except we are alone, choosing ourselves over another
I'm so tired of this
Wanting only to be myself
Ourself
Not mimicking an acceptable
Someone else

Changes (instrumental by Krystaleyez)
You say you want me to change
But I do not think I can
Think again and you take it back
Still miss the chance that you think we had
Same life, new phase
I do this while you chase
New heights in the same space
I move twice while you wait
Thought about it and thought about you
Everything I thought it all came true
Know I nodded and I acknowledge
I put us through hell in the worst ways
No more digging our graves
Pick it all up, feels great to say this
And I won't let you get in my way
Empty enough...
But I do not think I can
