Let Me Drift Away in Dreams
Let me drift away in dreams.
That's what my life's become it seems.
Let me drift away in dreams,
free from strife and thoughts that haunt me.
That's what my life's become it seems.
Free me from the terrors of my mind,
Allow for a moment for me to be free.
Let me drift away in dreams.
My reality has been outlined,
only finding salvation in things I can't see.
That's what my life's become it seems.
Escaping the world's ties that bind,
to a kingdom to which I alone hold the key.
Let me drift away in dreams. ...

Fatima Finds Hope
Fatima Finds Hope
Her family had scattered to the four winds after their village became a smoking ruin. So she wandered the desert in a daze. At the age of twenty when most are just starting off in life, she was a refugee. Finally, Fatima found herself more chaperoned than captured by the strangest soldier in an ISIS uniform. He opened the door for her as though he was a gentleman. He said, “Good afternoon. May I take you out for a bite to eat?” It was like he was escorting her on a date.
Fatima replies, “Thank you for the offer. However, my lunch date is just late. He...

Just think about it
You cant see where she came from
You' no idea what shes seen
You're not watching where shes going
You assume she lives unclean
Instead of bashing her
Breaking her down
Learn more about her
You maybe the one that needs to turn around
Late at night shes gone different car pick up
Yet shes catching rides from co-workers on her third shift job
Yet you judged her without knowledge
Shes working doubles back to back the tears she has sobbed
She's raising kids mising them
Just trying to make away
Yet...

I'm not saying anything
that most of you don't think
It's just I don't stop writing
When most of you have quit
We all think it
at one time or another
I ain't no hater
I'm really a lover
And most people will
vouch for that
Apart from the ones
I know are a twat!
Nah
I don't hate anybody
I just like escaping
Go travelling at sea
That would be great
Better than sitting
Waiting for your fate
Life on the waves
Sounds pretty scary though
I'd have to learn to navigate

A river, called Hope.
Imagine yourself
alone on a mountain
no more hearing
the constant shouting
no more noises blaring
i'm getting tired of caring
about the lack of love in this world
that people just ain't sharing
I'm tired of being in your room
listening to the same old tune
sat in front of the mind control
much rather go for a stroll
maybe life on the open road
leave you with your daily
TV download
I'm searching for something real
Leave you watching
Deal or no deal
I have visions of tropical places ...
alone on a mountain
no more hearing
the constant shouting
no more noises blaring
i'm getting tired of caring

I'm tired of being in your room

sat in front of the mind control

Misspent Youth
Don't fear the Grim Reaper
Fear what's around us
When you look a little deeper
Go through life, carve a crater
You've got what it takes
You know you have, ain't cha?!
Misspent youth
All I'm after is the truth
I'm gonna need proof
Misspent youth
Feel like a marked man since birth
Waiting for a slip-up
Down on the pavement
The vultures erupt
Tomahawk missile
Read the signs and the reasons
Money makes my head go around
All scarred up with lesions
Misspent youth
All I'm...
Fear what's around us
When you look a little deeper
Go through life, carve a crater
You've got what it takes
You know you have, ain't cha?!
Misspent youth
All I'm after is the truth
I'm gonna need proof
Misspent youth
Feel like a marked man since birth
Waiting for a slip-up
Down on the pavement
The vultures erupt
Tomahawk missile
Read the signs and the reasons
Money makes my head go around
All scarred up with lesions
Misspent youth
All I'm...

One Man Rave
I wanna live in a cave
I wanna misbehave
Don't be a slave
Have a one man rave!
This might be true
For someone like you
Go start anew
Know what you gotta do!
Go and live in a cave
Go and misbehave
Don't be a slave
Have a one man rave!
See you gotta be free
Could go and live in a tree
But they'll just cut you down
On the edge of town!
But I just might lose it
'cause they try and abuse it
You just might lose it
'cause they wanna abuse it!
Just go and live in a cave ...
I wanna misbehave
Don't be a slave
Have a one man rave!
This might be true
For someone like you
Go start anew
Know what you gotta do!
Go and live in a cave
Go and misbehave
Don't be a slave
Have a one man rave!
See you gotta be free
Could go and live in a tree
But they'll just cut you down
On the edge of town!
But I just might lose it
'cause they try and abuse it
You just might lose it
'cause they wanna abuse it!
Just go and live in a cave ...

Water: Demons
When I lay upon a rock in the river to mourn
the sun blisters my eyes,
the slate cuts my toes
and you run over me, my stomach and neck,
you run over me, lashing, fast and away.
As I lay, contemplating the calm of a storm,
as I lay, appreciating the fatality of peace, where peace can be found,
and where it erodes,
dragonflies rest on my nose and my chest.
The day drifts away on cascading noise,
building weight on my skin and my bones,
without...
the sun blisters my eyes,

Nothing’s Worse Than Canned
The cruder it is, the more
Free it is
That’s just something left
Over from the war
The repo man said it
Would come to this
“I’m going to tell you
What my father told
Me the night our house
Burned down. Life is
All about finding
Happiness in unhappy
Endings.”
“Fuck you.”
“You’ll be fine.”
I just want to
Tell you, this
Is all just a
Phase
But something
Was coming
For me and
I knew
Exactly
What it
Was
Free it is
That’s just something left
Over from the war
The repo man said it
Would come to this
“I’m going to tell you
What my father told
Me the night our house
Burned down. Life is
All about finding
Happiness in unhappy
Endings.”
“Fuck you.”
“You’ll be fine.”
I just want to
Tell you, this
Is all just a
Phase
But something
Was coming
For me and
I knew
Exactly
What it
Was

Euthanasia
Let me melt away;
final shivers
down my spine.
Respite for the dead
as the living look on.
One final torment,
sweet euthanasia,
self given sentence,
no one else to decide.
True compassionate mercy,
given to man;
freedom to his final journey,
no torture to withstand.
I don’t care about pity,
nor will your well thinking mockery
make me feel less than I am.
Your perfect, social rules,
have made fools
out of free thinkers' dignity,
imposing chains
over sensitive souls
who...
final shivers
down my spine.
Respite for the dead
as the living look on.
One final torment,
sweet euthanasia,
self given sentence,
no one else to decide.
True compassionate mercy,
given to man;
freedom to his final journey,
