wonderland
in my head the life I've lived
seems magic and whimsy did a flip
a hand pressed flat against a mirror
and now I'm trapped in underland
turns out the Queen of Hearts
is quite the narc and pretty smart
and I was privileged to be raised in her court,
but the wonder dies when children grow up.
I was never enough.
so let's play pretend
that we're best friends
I'll fake a smile
she'll sigh again
I piss her off
when I see right through
the innocent illusion
gazes locked as we circle ...

Ghost In A Shell
My body a cardboard box
Can't take another flame of love
I'll burn up in flames, would that be a shock?
My soul can escape to retire above
Empty carcass of my soul
Broken parts and brittle bones
Nothing left to feel inside
Nothing that I feel inside
Sticks and stone may break my bones
But words can do no more
'Cause after all this hell
I'm just a ghost in a shell
Maybe I just need some help
Should I wanna get well, get well?
I don't feel unhealthy, don't feel myself
I'm fading away, it's my personal...
Can't take another flame of love
I'll burn up in flames, would that be a shock?
My soul can escape to retire above
Empty carcass of my soul
Broken parts and brittle bones
Nothing left to feel inside
Nothing that I feel inside
Sticks and stone may break my bones
But words can do no more
'Cause after all this hell
I'm just a ghost in a shell
Maybe I just need some help
Should I wanna get well, get well?
I don't feel unhealthy, don't feel myself
I'm fading away, it's my personal...

Buffalo NY Sunday (Parody)
Buffalo NY Sunday
Pleasant Valley Sunday (Parody)
----------------------‐
The kid who raps is down the street
...someone just kicked his ass!
He sang of doing bitches to a...
lady dressed up for mass!
Another Buffalo NY Sunday...
empty houses burning everywhere...
so many burkas that are all the same...
...a ghetto in such disrepair.
Mohammed's wife's a tween -
she's years away from legal vote..
Abdul has just been charged...
for making love...to his goat!
Another Buffalo NY...

Little Gem
INSIDE ROARE
Little Gem
When you feel happy,
when your heart is a sheet.
Who holds a little gem,
who doesn't want to be alone anymore.
Who would like to hear "only you" again
Who was allowed to kiss your lips,
I thought I couldn't do it.
Your blue eyes like the sky
shine through my heart.
I would like to look into them forever,
Maybe I will find the answer why I don't want to.
A sudden meeting, just the touch of fingers.
I felt it was you.
I would like to scream into the darkness. ...

My Last Goodbye
I've been searching a lifetime for true love
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...
But it's not real
And I've been denying that fact
With every heartbreak and trauma they've given me
I've unravelled
And I've been denying that fact
I have nothing left to give
To this world
So take this as my resignation
The shows gotta end some time
And this
This is my last goodbye
I wish that the past could be erased somehow
It's permanent
And I've been denying that fact
And once upon a time I'd still love you so
But those days are gone
And I don't...

The Ticking Clock
As I grow older, time passes by
Seems like day after day
I lose another friend I've known
Everyone passes away
But I'm still hanging on
Sometimes I have to ask why?
I can't describe the pain
Or the emptiness I feel inside
Time isn't kind to anyone
So it seems to me
We're all forgotten in the end
Lost to posterity
Whether we rot in the ground
Or go ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Even the strongest metals
Decay and turn to rust
~Chorus~
Where do we go when we pass
There's only one...
Seems like day after day
I lose another friend I've known
Everyone passes away
But I'm still hanging on
Sometimes I have to ask why?
I can't describe the pain
Or the emptiness I feel inside
Time isn't kind to anyone
So it seems to me
We're all forgotten in the end
Lost to posterity
Whether we rot in the ground
Or go ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Even the strongest metals
Decay and turn to rust
~Chorus~
Where do we go when we pass
There's only one...

Different Now
I'm starting to see things a little different now.
The older I get, the more difficult it gets, to try to forget, about the thing that you did.
I'm like, fucking wow.
I use to think that you were the one, but this is no longer what I would call fun.
I see that this ain't what I thought that was love.
I wish that I could, but I can't.
I wish that you would, but you ain't.
The time that we wasted is gone.
There's no need to keep this lie going on.
The beat has done faded out of this song.
Walking away, distance is gained with each step that we...

100 Days
100 Days
It’s been 100 days
Feel I’m slipping out of the haze
Eyes no longer carry the red glaze
Like I’ve been born on Mars
It’s been 100 days
I’m starting to mend my ways
I no longer gaze
At the black part of my soul
It’s been 100 days
I’m feeling firmer in my veins
I’m no longer ashamed
To be living in my skin
It’s been 100 days
No longer feel out of place
Think I can break out of the chains
To walk among the living
But it’s only been 100 days
Takes a lot more to...
It’s been 100 days
Feel I’m slipping out of the haze
Eyes no longer carry the red glaze
Like I’ve been born on Mars
It’s been 100 days
I’m starting to mend my ways
I no longer gaze
At the black part of my soul
It’s been 100 days
I’m feeling firmer in my veins
I’m no longer ashamed
To be living in my skin
It’s been 100 days
No longer feel out of place
Think I can break out of the chains
To walk among the living
But it’s only been 100 days
Takes a lot more to...

Did I Ever Really Know You?
I've been trying bestie...
to understand the changes in you.
You can't look me in eye!
I don't know...what i can do!
I've caught you in a terrible lie
Is our friendship...going to die?
Is it that man...tell me sister...
what has he done to you?
I used to read you like a book.
Every crook and every hook...
We used to think the very same...
Sometimes joy sometimes rage!
I knew every single page...but...
You cut me off
You cut me out
You cut my heart in two!
Did I ever really know you?
...
to understand the changes in you.
You can't look me in eye!
I don't know...what i can do!
I've caught you in a terrible lie
Is our friendship...going to die?
Is it that man...tell me sister...
what has he done to you?
I used to read you like a book.
Every crook and every hook...
We used to think the very same...
Sometimes joy sometimes rage!
I knew every single page...but...
You cut me off
You cut me out
You cut my heart in two!
Did I ever really know you?

"I'm Fine"
Stepping outside to another grey sky
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm...
Another day when you ask yourself "Why?"
Running to buses to make it to work
Some days you can't help but feel stuck
Please tell me, what am I living for?
I tell her "I'm Fine"
Though I can't lie
It took me an hour just to get out of bed
I let out a sigh
Please tell me why
My heart feels empty and there's a pain in my head
As hard as I try
It's hard to not cry
I wonder some days if I'd be better off dead
I tell her "I'm Fine"
I tell her "I'm...

Queen Of Hearts
I've always been a gambling man
Betting my heart on love
Rolling the dice, spinning the wheel
Taking a chance, you know the deal
And you know my heart never folds
If I asked you, would you take this chance
To take my hand in this marvellous dance
When the present is past and the past is all history
What's left of my love for you, that's a mystery
I'll show you all my cards if you show me all yours
Maybe we'll have a pair of hearts, King and Queen
I'm always pulling on the slots
Every heartstring I've got
I've...
Betting my heart on love
Rolling the dice, spinning the wheel
Taking a chance, you know the deal
And you know my heart never folds
If I asked you, would you take this chance
To take my hand in this marvellous dance
When the present is past and the past is all history
What's left of my love for you, that's a mystery
I'll show you all my cards if you show me all yours
Maybe we'll have a pair of hearts, King and Queen
I'm always pulling on the slots
