Catch my Fall

I used to think that anything I'd do
Wouldn't matter at all anyway
But now I find that when it comes to dreams
I'm the winner of cards I can't play

The rain is like an orchestra to me
Little gifts from above meant to say
Wait with me, wait for me
I'm alive when you're here with me
But it stop to rain…

Why do the street lamps die
When you're passing by
Like love that won't stay on my side
If you held me close,
we can laugh it away
Would you dare the glance
that I steal to stay

I'll find a way to see hope again
I'll find a way if you catch my fall
Everyday is a struggle,
but you can catch me trying
I need to Take more risks,
playing' with my wish
screaming' "Fuck Life!"
My vision is deep
the Division will creep

Knowledge, Wisdom, Understanding, Culture, Freedom..

I wonder what stopped the rain
My life is like some cheap champagne
The answers don't always seem to fit
My glass is full, but it tastes like shit

I need a quick decision
And a cheap reward
I'm in my last revision

So I'll cry just a little bit longer
And I'll stay two seconds more
And I'll try to be stronger
And I'll see if you catch my fall

What Dreamers Do...

I got to go,
There's always something new to see,
Where is the way,
it's all supposed to be.
Sometimes the world throws you down,
If you take too long.

I want to go
where the stars fall from the sky
The rivers never dry out
Alone in the roads
just me and the world
And I try
Till there's nothing left to do
And there's nothing left to say
All of my troubles fade away

I'm breaking away
On a U-Turn that I found
It's a new day
Time to turn it all around
And I'm never looking back
I take down what I need
Cause you know I need to breathe
I'm tired of walking on another plane
Another plane
cause I feel insane,
I step back to get to you
you move back
I'm falling through
Another day I feel the same

I'm teaching' myself to dream
I'm holding' my breath to scream
I’m teaching' myself to believe
I don’t care if its ever true
That's what dreamers do

I watch the hours
through the glass
And watch the time
as it actually pass

I wish there was a photograph
that showed what I dream
And I could kiss the photograph
and get what I need

I wish I was a canary
so I could sing so sweet
I wish that I could steal the moon
and kiss it with my feet
I dream I was a remedy
that you wanted to take
A product of a recipe
that no one had to bake

I wish I could forget
all the days of pain
the hurting in my heart
wash my life with Listerine
to make a brand new start

I wish there was a fairytale
that turned into my life
I wish the voices in my head
would leave my ears alone
So my eyes could stop crying
and I could find a home

I wish the raindrops on the glass
would let me join their dance
I'd spin and twirl and laugh
and drown my thoughts and past.


Did you come to dance?

Super automatic Drive
motor running wild
circles in the parking lot
Self-sustaining system
Cruise-control distressed,
I’m kind of cursed
and kind of blessed
my engine running on the fume
Vision blue and blurry,
falling angels in a flurry,
spinning thru the empty room
Did you come here to dance?

Here we go
Closer to the end
Let me know
I'll be your only friend
Things you thought you understood
Are all the things I lack

And I'd leave it all behind
With no regard for what I'll find
In time you'll see
That you can’t breathe
without me
just like i cant eat
without you
Life and times go by

Well I know nothing is okay
Will it show if I try to numb the pain?
Things you thought
you understood
Are all the things I'm not
So sorry
And so afraid....

And our hearts for now
They get a little bit harder
But as time goes
they will beat as one
And soon enough
We will be in love
In each others arm

Got a crush head rush
what a sensation
Butterflies all night
can't stop shaking
And I can't explain
what you do to me

No need for gravity
when you're floating
No others got
the color of my emotions
and you look and say
well.. did you come here to dance or what??
And the night goes on…..

Falls Apart

Looking' back on everything
And all the things that stay
I can count on memories
because they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold
nights filled with laughter
I moved like I was untouchable
Till one night the laughs were gone
People that called you friend
Just moved along

With an angel on my left side
and the devil on my right
My soul is the one who save me
from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me
it's a wonder my soul is not gone

I don't care what the game is
I am always down to play
My world without laughter
a million miles away
you don't have to worry
I know where I belong

I've been dealt some aces
And I've played them all
But hope is the only one
that keeps me in the game
No fame or fortune
could ever keep me gone
Life moves me like the real Capone

There's a magic down in Los Angeles
That never seems to fade
Even now them voices carry
Like a lonely serenade
In all my travels
I've never found a way
To find the words that say
the things I'd like to say
I've wrote some melodies
but nothing made sense
I sat down counting
Hours as they passed

I Might Decide
That The Passing Of Time
Marked By One Second Lines
Is All That Stands In The Way
Of A Lifetime Spent Catching Up
And An Endless Perfect Day

I Might Decide
To Show You The Signs
That have found Their Way
Turning From Nothing Serious
Into The Things I Say

Center is where
I see myself
In the beginning
I'm sitting in the middle
In a crowded room
Nobody hears me
Trying to reach out
Teach me

I'm running out this life
People tell me not to waste it
But how can I taste it
When I never lived
When loved never last
When I never trust

I'm just a stain
I'm trying to make my mark
On a spot that's been dark
For a long time
Been a long time since peace
Broken down a systematic panic

So I sit here alone
Trying to find my own way
To cope with everything
That I've done wrong
So I try real hard not to see
What life has done to me
But I couldn't find my heart
And there won't be any silence till it's gone
watching me as I slip away
'Cause everything I know just falls apart.




"Crashing Down"

These back steps
are steeper to the ground
The brightest stars
are falling down
I'm walking the edge,
walking the tightest rope

If everything's crashing
then there will be change
If I'm in the open,
I will feel the pain.
rolling like a hurricane
I'm over the bridge
and away from the rain

Take it back to the beginning,
back to the start
When gravity's pulling,
stars crashing hard
hope comes crashing down
Crashing down on me

These four walls
that were closing in
are breaking apart
The talk is louder
than your thoughts
I want to be there,
want to be where you are
But you know it all,
every look and smile
that aren't meant to break

Yesterday I was sitting recalling reminiscing
Trying to remember whenever
there was nobody listening
Before the hugging
and the kissing,
the booing and the hissing
All I had was just a vision,
all I had was my ambition
Your love without condition
kept me swinging when I'm missing

My eyes upon the prize
kept me striving for the mission
When I was down for the count,
falling out of the commission
I can hear your voice
now screaming out, 'PJ, listen'
Get on up, give up,
you struck opposition
Time to buck all that stuff,
find out what's your condition
Like a pull in your soul,
like keys in my ignition
my dreams and my vision
all crashing down.
