Someone told me…

Sometimes some words
the first time you heard
stay in your skin
Someone told me once
"You're never going to win"
Fool's paradise is where I've always been
So I told myself
"I've got a heart of stone"
Not that strong I said
But I will do it
If I have to all alone

Tell me your dreams
And I'll tell you what they mean
Said the lady in the night
because we live and love to learn
and for every second
we waste on lack of trust
all promises will be gone

You can't touch hope
You can't hold dreams
finding me through your window panes
I can reach you
I can see you
Trying to hide your tears away

Someone told me
"You got to let it go"
A little weakness is strength
So I tell myself
"Feeling' left today"
I won't lose to the pain of yesterday

All Over With

All over with
A second to an eye blink
Fuck all the flags, the greed, the world leaders
Run for the fence
they are coming, they are killers,
They want to change the faces
Believe in yourself
Let go of ego strengthen within your soul

a soldier was asked in the war in Iraq
Tell us about your mission
The soldier replied
“I'm killing, every fucking thing
until somebody gets the point,
the point I was told to make.
I lead, the mice on a parade,
Down to the river of US Aid,
and open up the flood gates
and hope the water will bring them hope.
But I needed a barrel of medicine
a convention for business deals
better schools and roads
but they gave me a barrel of Cyanide;
and told me to spread democracy
until the whole damn world can see
and then we can Start it all over again.
That’s my mission, Sir! ”

Stop talking, negotiating,
Your feeble attempts towards world peace,
Give me a break
Need world-wide genocide,
planetary suicide and when the whole damn world is dead...
there's your fucking peace
All over with.

You, by my side.

Well it's you and it's me
Me with a drink in my hand
The ice is tinkling like a broken band
As late afternoon settles over the land
And you're talking about things
Interesting just slightly
And things that matter too much
To say any way but lightly

Well it's time to be wise
Wise in the ways of the heart
To come out from under the covers
This involuntary state of apart
From the faces, oasis
In this Sahara of sorrow
These graces that hold me
It's from you that I borrowed

I need not to need
Or else a love with intuition
Someone who reaches out to my weakness
And won't let go
I need not to need
I've always been the tower
But now I feel like the flower
trying to bloom in the snow

I turned up the light
Anticipating night falling tenderly around me
Watching the dusk
The words won't come
I carry the act so convincingly
The fact is sometimes I believe it myself

Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you
My hand is outstretched

toward the damp of the haze

And of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
Like an eagle you rise from the ashes
You pick up the pieces
And the ghosts in the attic

You've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
My thoughts and analogies
Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeve

I fit into you
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

And with each passing day
The stories we say
Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our conviction
That some kind of miracle
Passed on in our way
And how I am sure
Like never before
Of my reasons for defying faith
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors

Strange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals
For our eyes to see
yet this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree

So we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly drafted
To carve ourselves instruments
That play the music of life
For we don't realize
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity
Of you at my side.

The moon below

Life comes with halo of ashes
Specter of the wind
Waits on me so patiently
hoping that i will quit
Sky lies a thousand miles above
Stars shine and the moon is clear
Nothing and for no one
Won't see me, if sadness wasn’t here

My depression pulls me closer
As my poison it crawls through
Walks with me so silently
I no longer can refuse
Tomorrow I'm a thousand miles behind
Stars shine and the moon below
Wake me where you find me
Pretend you don't know

Bite the thorn that pierced the skin
Come back down to Earth again
The cold is creeping deep inside
I killed the last way out of this
Persuaded by deceitful thoughts

All these dying days
I walked the LA city
Used to be my dream
Now I cant find a way out
I seen a holy man
Seen him crying with the mother Mary
Sleeping alone, I stay on my side.

Take a minute just to breathe
Take a minute till I'm wide awake
I am searching once again
And the sun has left the sky
And the moon below start to glow

Let the silence creep in
In the silence I'm awake all night
Just searching once again
But could I reach hope in the morning light
If I close my eyes
would it all just change?

You make my mind
Just want to leave this world behind
And I don't know why
It's taken everything
Everything I've got and it's hung me on a line
Water rising up over me
And I think I'm going to drown

the longest way I traveled
From the darkness to the light
And these prisons, I can't abide
and forever im lost below the moon.

Train Ride

.

When the train pulls in the station
I'll be waiting by the track
You're having trouble sleeping nights
you want me to come back
That old train will roll on by

and go off track and come my way
If I am slow and miss the chance

the train will hit me head on

she says ”I don't say I love you

quite enough I know "‘
Sometimes It goes for days
The train moves so fast

and the words come so slow
And she lets those excuses

get in the way

While you sleep sometimes
I lie awake and watch you breath
In the silence that surrounds the dead of night
I keep remembering things I forget to say
And perhaps someday you let me know your way
As the train pulls to the station
I step back and go home.

Silence is Loud

Waited patiently for you to call me
Across the great divide of the moments
that have slipped by
All the long and lonely nights
I lay bathed in pale moonlight
Upon the floor I cried
a cold and empty space
it's time to let it go
It is time to break the hold
So I'm giving up the mention of faith
And I'm giving up the vision of luck
I'm forgiving everyone that hurt me
I am Giving up the ghost
I don't search to find a cure
I don't do that anymore
I learned to lay the blame
on the strangers in the world
We were just one step away
from a truth I couldn't face
But I hoped against it all
that history would break our ways
So I prayed for love to save us
and I wished upon a star
But my wish didn’t go too far

It's time to be brave
And you tried to show me how
Well I'm listening to you now…….
Your silence its too loud

Something Bad Enough

You always give me something
To help me understand
Turn those tracks around me
And make me a better man
But all you give is killing me
I can't turn time around
I'm getting loaded
on a darker side of town

When I was just a boy
I've done too much
I understood the rules back then
Now I can't decide
my luck's run out
My head is burned
Whatever I once was
Is fading fast away
My soul is like a shadow
Growing fainter in the day
I've never felt so confused
and you feel so out of reach
My life is like a sun
Sinking slowly in the beach

What I got
Is Who I am
In this world of right and wrong
The hardest part is beginning
By the time you find
where you belong
You're either losing or winning

Well I don't know how
But people seem to know
When you want
something bad enough
It always comes true

Love Make Me Strong

Cold winds rarely blow
Here at the end of the road
Guess it's not hard to believe
I am not willing to leave
Dont wake me from this dream
I felt hope standing there
I turned around and it was gone
Saw the face of an angel
and I knew she was the one

My head was saying this is the girl
My heart agreed
My minor desires turned to major needs
Somehow I'm thrilled by all I hear
High on your campaign promises
I don't want to come down
But no promises kept
Like the loneliness that comes
when I lay alone in bed

I'm in heaven when she is around
I'm going to tell everybody I see
she is a part of me
and there's no power capable of
Coming between us
dividing our love
To be faithful I have sworn
Together we can weather the storm

Our tomorrows are a day away
Our hands are tied
we're victims of fate
In my darkness I will pray
For destiny to send you my way

Love make me strong
Give me the strength to carry on
A tower of strength to lean upon
The seven seas won't keep us apart
Not with an ocean of love in my heart
My devotion will see me through
Because nothing's going to keep me from you

Oh it's a happy story
True lovers found each other
raised to all it's glory
You'll hear the sound of beating hearts
as love makes us stronger
And warms our heart.
