Beg for Love

Life takes a little piece of you away
Most everyday of your life
learn to get wise, you learn to compromise
You learn to criticize yourself

we all grow up one day at a time
seems so further from the truth at this moment
And you try to find yourself in this endless race

Love takes another stab at your heart
And you can never cease to escape
And you take it on the chin
that old sucker punch again

Reminds you what you've missed
When the colors blazed and your jealousy raged
You were so sensitive to every touch
And it is not to forget in this endless tear
So you find a perfect stranger
but always have to Beg to get near

What do you get in the end
Did you really need that friend
Your emotions dulled to save your heart
From failing at the hardest part
But you still get down on your knees
I said you get down on your knees
And you beg for her again

Now there's nothing left to laugh at
Nothing left to say
nothing left do
so there's no reason to prey
But you still get down on your knees- and beg

Together we can change

We must talk to every soul
Get eaten off the web
We must rip out all the happy endings
in the books that we have read
And in the face of every criminal
Strapped firmly to a chair
We must stare at our own fears
And let him live scared

We must give away the medicines
too expensive to sell
Set fire to the preacher who is promising us hell
And in the ear of every democrat
that sleeps but doesn’t dream
We must sing, we must sing.

While the rain waters the grass
young heroes are loading their guns
they says death will give us back to god
Just like the setting sun is returned to the lonesome hope
as it splashes into the deep blue sea
It was a wonderful splash

We must blend into one voice
memorize all the words
and never deny we have a soul
And in this endless race for property and power
We must run away from all the desires

We must hang up in the roof tops
Where the bats and moonlight laugh
We must stare into a crystal ball and only see the past
And in the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and our love
We must plunge in to change
and let all dreams come live

And then mornings will come back
The whole world’s waking up
In the city traffic is swimming past
I’m happy just because change is on the way
the worst that we can do
is pretend nothing is wrong
And dream of a life
where we all belong

The ocean speaks and spits and I can hear it so clear
I’m screaming at my self on my cell phone
I’m saying nothing in the past but future will change today
Now I’m hunched over my computer
I guess you call that painting in a cave
And there are words I can’t remember
And a feeling I cannot escape
with my ashtray overflowing
and morning at my window sending me to bed

So we must find our fears and face them
we’ll kick and scream or kneel and bleed
And so I thought I’d let you all know
That these things take forever
and change will come only together.

No one Listens

Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
splash of reality pulls me down
It comes out of nowhere
Turns my glance to a stare
Addiction rules me-I'm weak from the start
One minute here and one minute there
Don't know if I'll laugh or cry
two minutes passed
And then I see you wave good-bye.

Sifting to the bottom, every day for gold
All energy funnels as I see myself get old
And it hurts inside
Back and forth, I sway with the wind

holding my emotions close
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark

Sometimes I think I'm blind
Because the plot thickens every day
And the pieces of my puzzle keep crumbling away
But I know, there's a picture beneath it all
This fear clouds of my vision
No one listens...

You see, I'm somewhere in between
As I put me together
my ears block the sound they hear
My eyes shut tight to avoid a tear
Droplets of "yes" and "no"
In an ocean of "maybe"
From the bottom, it looks like a steep incline
From the top, another downhill slope of mine
And I know, No one listens

Awakened by the sun light
Victimized by last night’s scream
Recollections drifting
as my memories disappear
Each minute the confusion grows
If I could just lay down to rest
I'm tired of searching for myself
I encountered a darkness stronger than sleep
I am thirsty for peace
There are no answers anyway...
And no one listens to me.

Thankful Man

I was a blue collar man
Working hard to make ends
I showed up when I didn't want to be there
A man of my word,

I believe in doing things right
I remember when I was younger
I heard the elder say

time and time again
It's a good life; it's a real good life
Always be a thankful man

I'm a thankful man alright
thankful for every turn
On every highway with

all its ups and downs
Every mile I've lost,

I gained a friend along the way
Every storm that turned me around
Made me a better man in so many ways
So far this life is out of me
Yet It's made me who I am
It's a good life And I'm truly a thankful man

People say that I am a dreamer
But I don’t remember my dreams
all along I needed a rock that I could lean on
all I got was me
I learned about the lessons in life
The difference between what's right and wrong
And every word that I said
I heard myself said it once
And all along nothing made sense
But to be a thankful man.

Valentine’s Day

She gave Him all Her love
And He recognize it more on this day
She gave it all and never faded away
Well He is going to kiss unread words
And escape the jungle free
In his arms tonight
He will hold Her tight
Feeling the pain release

Like an Elephant Man
He will dance the night with love
Inside Their warm thoughts
They Wish this day never ends
Rose pedals all over the bed
So if she should feel a bit surprised
If the shooting star
Is dancing in front of her eyes
embrace yourself today
He wants Her love to stay
He is not as hard and crazy as He used to be
Still He prays to God
for giving her to him
So she offers him a place to rest
and forget his pains this day
In her arms tonight
she will bring him peace
As He gently gives her a valentine kiss.

Between you And me

...................

They say the road of peaceful life
Is paved with good intentions
No matter how hard we try
Something’s just wont fall in to place
At moments of hard emotion time
Patience, we just have to wait
Little bit of faith can be the last hope
It's the only place that still exists

Between you and me
There's enough Love that I believe
We'll rise above it all and we'll get through
The screams your hear are in my ears
The tears you have are in my eyes
The pain you live with for love
are the reasons why I die every night
All for nothing
But what others want
They say that bridges burn
From one soul to another

if you don't tend the flame

it will burn away
I pray somehow they see it clear
To build an understanding from the ashes that remain

Not enough love can be dangerous
It's a change they need to see
There are times I don't feel safe
Like we're not on solid ground
But I trust your eyes
When I see you look this way
I know we’ll be just fine.

Someone will find the way

...................

Always thought the world revolved around love
And every word It said was listened to
How I could underestimate that promise
How could anyone really ever doubt the truth?

Our parents they raised us to be happy
They always try to give us everything we craved
They never let the ugly things affect us
They always made the bad things fade

But as we grow older
The troubles gathered around us
and everyone seems to care
What will I take from this situation?
how will I grow again?

is in everyones head

I believe this is temporary
It won't last forever, this pain

We have faced bigger challenges
And bigger setbacks in life

A wrist jerk reaction is waiting
For any who dare to oppose
Talk of war, always praised, conversations
Quickly turn enemies into bros

All of the promise but minus the knowledge
Why bother now that they teach thug life in college
corrupted culture, misguided intention
Freedom extinction almost guaranteed

So gifted and smart, everyone looks so pretty
But where is the danger in this over packed city?
Most of them never get past what's on TV
This demographic has a new obsession
This demographic thinks that Bush is cool

This demographic doesn't have a fucking clue

excuse my french but this is true

You say I'm bitter, I'm just afraid
I just resent my lack of faith
A shit load of talent, but there is no deep end
Forget about passion, there's none where I am
Follow a dream, what's the point?

what's the meaning?
Why does everybody want the same?
Will someone make it happen?
Take time and work it out
Will people stand together
and avoid this evil life
Spread the word
Somebody' needs an answer
Someone will find a way

Too Good to be True

I guess it's cause and effect
My heart and my soul
The way that I connect
I Keep digging these hole
There I go again
It never ends
But this time I will take the chance

at this moment of the day
Love is the only thing going my way
This time its good to be true
Give me one more kiss I beg
One more touch
I just can't get enough of you

All of a sudden
I'm not who I used to be
I had my heart locked
But now you hold the key
And you find a way, everyday
To show me even more
I wish sometimes you be more understanding
With what I’m going thorough

Some people say freedom is too good to be true
Cause they don't give honor
To loyalty and truth
At this second in life
I need a helping friend
And its not just anyone that can help me
Its my own strength.
