Secret Loser

 

There is the winner

there is the looser

lost and surrounded

the winner has everything

that I ever wanted to be

the loser is I

the person never meant to be

the expendable and shadow of the hero

 

I never knew how great this magic was

held well in this inner power of magic

to grasp or repel to try and succeed

I was born with so much, immortality

 

A simple kiss will do

someone like you

I look in my reflection

and cannot sever the only connection

A simple hug will do

someone like you

there in the path where I don’t understand

beyond my knowledge I don’t commend

from someone like you

 

Open A’s open B’s

I can never seem to get them straight

my love, my mind, tell me I will fail

will I succeed in matters that seem so hard

will I breath in matters that dim so harsh

the winner never seems to worry

 

I never knew how great this magic was

held well in this inner power of magic

to grasp or repel and try just try to succeed

I was born with so much immortality

immortality. . .

 

 


No More Inspiratation

 

No more forever

which is what I just said

 

Yes its well extinguished

the end of the line is wrinkled and dead

 

chopped stopped into tiny little pieces

stop dropped into million stinking reasons

unbound, unbinded, the will has spoken and read

 

There is no more inspiration

no more inspiration

no more inspiration

 

I don’t know what to do when there’s no conception

even though the world when others think Ive gone insain

even so, in a mind warped by fire I can’t make anyconnection

even through the eyes of the world I don’t believe I’vebeen insain

in the eyes of the world you think how easy it is fordestruction

 

There is no more inspiration

no more inspiration

no more inspiration

 

I hate the feelings resolved around the word regret

its like a needle and thread stitching a cut together, itsinsain 

I love the tingling feeling that alows me to unfold uponanother

I can see a rainbow appear after the morning showers

the sweet sound of birds chirping and a stream dippinginto the other

but still we see in the eyes of the world and think toourselves why bother?

 

I don’t know what to do when there’s no conception

even though the world when others think I’ve gone insain

even so, in a mind warped by fire I can’t make anyconnection

even through the eyes of the world I don’t believe I’vebeen insain

in the eyes of the world you think how easy it is fordestruction

 

There is no more inspiration

no more inspiration

no more inspiration


Where It Goes

 

Stare into the aquarium

do you know my feeling of hate

silent death, for you see it comming

can you see the fear in your panic state

 

It walks to you, it crawls to you 

you can’t believe its comming for you

it spins for you , it kills for you

you won’t believe its true

 

Look in my aquarium

can you see that it escaped

you better watch out for its comming

coming for you

you escape in fear for you life

 

It walks to you it crawls to you

you can’t believe its comming for you

it spins for you, it kills for you

you won’t  believeits true 

 

you won’t believe its you

 

You dare to look away

to see where it goes

your death is from my tarrantula

you dare to look away

to see where it goes

your death is from my tarrantula

 

lick your lips whipe the sweat

the clock ticks and your heart beats faster

the eight legs of death snap to you

because it wants you

 

you grow scared, you grow afraid

when you shiver in your sweat

what would you fear in your pathetic life?

will you ever see the sun again ?

 

Close your eyes and look away

just as it leaps at you and devours

 

 

 

 

your death is my tarrantula

you wont believe it’s true

you wont believe it’s you

 

You dare to look away

to see where it goes

your death is my tarrantula

you dare to look away

to see where it goes

your death is my tarrantula

you dare to look away

to see where it goes

your death is my tarrantula

where it goes

where it goes


For the Love of Tawdry

 

See the diamonds in such eyes

dark goddess eyes 

and hair that match such desire

 

You would seek her hand if you dare

because you realize she was never met for you

with the sound of a cry and you will have died

the smile that lights up an dark chasm

you will never want to let go

 

No no no no no no

She’s my Tawdry

she’s my heart

when I fall apart

No no no no no no

No no no no no  no

she’s my Tawdry

she’s my heart

when I fall apart

No no no no no no

 

Look into her eyes and you will see the innosence

the heart of gold for the ones she cares

take a look into these eyes and tell me

tell me what do you see? 

The love of  Tawdry

 

You’ll seek her if you dare for she was never met for you

make her cry and you will have died

her smile light up an entire chasm

you will never want to let it go

  

No no no no no

She’s my Tawdry

she’s my heart

when I fall apart

No no no no no no

No no no no no no

She’s my Tawdry

she’s my heart

when I fall apart. 

 
It’s In Your Smile

 

I pass near to you as a cashier

you look at me with such sour eyes

I wonder, what is the matter?

 

Your so beautiful

you got everything

there is no reason

to feel failure

 

I come over to you

the fire to your imagination

I smile to lighten your inspiration

so listen to what I say

when I light your fire

 

I think its in your smile. . .

its in your smile

the truth that lies behind the white door 

I think its in your smile . . .

its in your smile

the past of tears are wasted no more

I think its in your smile. . .

its in your smile

you will believe when running in the rain

its in your smile

I think its in your smile

its in your smile

I think its in  yoursmile

in your smile   

 

 

 

 

 

 


One Last Time

 

You were there when I was sick

You were there to hold my strength

you ordered me to not give up

you helped me see through the dark

 

Now that your hurt, agonizing in pain

I cant’ help to believe that you won’t be around

when I need you most out here in the rain

 

One last time

tell me who I am

One last handshake

tell me your past

one last tear

tell me you won’t go

I want you near me forever

 

You were there in Mid-summer light

playing traditional games and taught a child how to bekind

helping you when you’ve helped me learned

you know I’ll ever rest

 

One last time

tell me who I am

One last hand shake

tell me your past

one last tear

tell me you won’t go

I want your spirit with me forever


This Is Where I Use To Live

 

Go on drive upon the streets

please tell me what you see? 

flash backs of what lies in the past

normaly the years don’t go that fast

but they do, they do. . . 

 

Take a look at the people I use to know

the neighborhood has changed so much

Houses immerge, people you would strive to know

that no one can remain a child no more

 

This is where I use to live

these were the games I played

these are the dreams that stayed

I know I wont forget you

 

Take a moment to speak

to look at the same old faces

reuniting with old friends

take a moment to walk through this old neighberhood

 

take time to notice a growing town 

the trees have grown

the people are one

this was my home

 

This is where I use to live

these were the game I played

these are the dreams that stayed

I know I will never forget you

 


Stay The Way You Are

 

I found such eyes

at once I grew to know

she found me

I felt it in my heart

from head and toe

I heard the voice enchant me and suddenly 

it left me

 

Suddenly

I found myself, astray                        Far away

from your arms

Stay the way you are

 

I regret trying to tell you

all the ways to forget about me

and all the storms seen in this dark world

that has unfolded upon me

 

I’ll never know why

there are changes in such eyes

when trembling lips I tell you to

Stay the way you are

 

Its like the change in the weather

from Spring to Summer

like Fall to Winter

it gets cold and freezes in measure

 

I regret all the ways told to forget about me

and all the storms seeing in this dark world

has unfolded upon me

 

Suddenly

I found myself astray              FarAway

from your arms

Stay the way you are              Suddenly

I found myself astray              FarAway

from your arms

Stay the way you are              Suddenly 

I found myself astray              FarAway

from your arms

Stay the way you are


SoulMate

 

WhenI can’t stop thinking about you

Youknow I won’t stop dreaming for you

sinceyour on my mind

Ican’t let you go

Thelast words we spoke

thelast week we spent together

Icould see it in your eyes that you were her

Isay you were her

 

Sweetlove

sweetheart

crossyour heart

andhope to die

 

WhenI found out you’ve changed fom me

Ifeel the thunder in this chest when it strikes like lightning

itthrust me to the ground, when you strike me down

Ican see your eyes looking upon me, below, where you let me down

youlet me down

Ifight this deception

uponthis one way road, a battled felt that I would die

unleashedlike lightning I receive your dry kiss good-bye

 

Sweetlove

sweetheart

crossyour heart

andhope to die

sweetlove

sweetheart

crossyour heart

andhope to die

 

Thesun sets littered with color I beg for it to stay

Iremember the days of lavender before we go our separate way

Ifind what eternity holds for us 

yourediscover your identity

whereI recover my sanity

youturn and say you will be there

youbrake away and stay away

withthe dry spell you put a sway

whythis came so sudden

Iwill never know

thesecret to your heart  (chorus)


WhyDo They Pay To Be So Blind 

 

Ireach out from my window

touchyour heart through shattered glass

Ican’t believe what I see

thesharp thorns and stones that guard your soul

Itslike the sun peaking at the earth

throughits own reflection

 

Theydon’t know what they’re looking at

nobodyknows when to be looked down upon like nightfall 

it’slike the fangs of a wolf scavenging for food

theclaws of a tiger attacking its prey with each swing 

goodcompany will do anything to rip you by the root 

 

Whydo they see so blind

itseems they don’t understand

whyare they so blind to see

thebeauty possessed before them

whydo they fail to hear the words coming from my mouth 

thatthey can’t feel the screams in my heart

whyare they so disconnected to feel the beating of their heart

thatI endure the hate laid before them

 

Tearsreach out to me with the cry for help from the cast of fear 

Iwon’t let you down and deceive the wickedness you hear

threatsof enchantment rip you down  before yourealize your in shame

ittakes boldness to face them, the evil ravages over your life in blame

theywill do anything to make you cry and shout names from your mouth 

 

Whydo they see so blind

thatthey don’t understand

whyare they so blind to see

thebeauty possessed before them

whydo they hear so blind

thatthey can’t feel the screams in my heart

whyare they so blind to hear

thewords of wisdom that I endure before them

The Flame

 

CanI find wisdom in these eyes

Isit the sign of hate?

Isit the sound of fear?

Whereis the strength that gives me purpose to rise ?

 

Ilost my way to your heart

in chaosof lost love

arethe screams of blindness

whenthese become more of a struggle

andI don’t know where to start

I’llraise my hands and call your name

 

Takea look in a mirror and look  at who youare

searchin time at what you will become

findthe wisdom in your eyes

findthe power in your heart to rise

remainin strength until you hear the power to rise

 remain forever the flame. . . .
