Lyrics/Poetry
Everything in a Girl
Verse:
She’s a part of Me
part of what I want in me
she’s everything in a smile
she’s everything in a Girl Gone Wild
I know how to write
She’s knows everything in the world tonight
incredible she is to me
What a face, such a smile to see
Bridge:
she can be all I need
I need more of this right now
she grins I see
she’s everything in a girl, In a girl
Verse:
In me she sees
what I can’t always admit
she wants me to choose
her before this
Awake or asleep, She held my hand
for about that time all in my head
Bridge:
Everytime, everywhere, everyone
she’s everything in a turn
Everymoment, Smile, Every laugh
she’s everything in a girl
Chorus:
In a girl
In a girl
in a girl
in a girl
Verse:
She’s a part of Me
part of what I want in me
she’s everything in a smile
she’s everything in a Girl Gone Wild
Chorus:
Girl gone wild

Greenwood
Verse 1
I would walk down by the waters edge
with you next to me
We’d be like a tree with spring
You make the best parts of me come true
The most fun I’ve had from nothing to do
Like walking near the river that turns the boat down
Like going to the place were we all fall down
Seeing that paint on the floor and seat
Having you come see me, all own on my knees
Pre- Chorus
This is what love’s supposed to be
This is what my eyes are meant to see
This is where my feet have taken me
Going down to greenwood for a party
Going down to greenwood for a party
Going down to greenwood for a party
Might come back to aldergrove, but I would miss the trees
I’ll catch you later with more from me,
I’ll catch you later baby
I sure hope I can see you again
Cuz my lover your walking a line so thin
We’ll see how far I get from this time
I swear your hair ain’t a bother as long as your mine
This is what love is supposed to be
This is what my lover does when free
I won’t complain about this river mess
I won’t say no baby if you keep saying yes
When I come back to greenwood we’ll catch a ride
From one of those places that make those slides
Baby stay for a minute while I hear you talk
Tell me a secret something while we walk
Meet me in greenwood I’ll finish up here
It’s been along time to move my dear.

Hard Times
Part 1
We never had that, had that
Money throw away
food disintegrate
x2
Part 2
we never had all the pretty toys
we never ran with the silly boys
we were raised by a golden rule
which changed us to good and not to fools
Part 1
we never had all the great dreams
all we have now is bad memories
filled with hate and Shattered trust
we love them like metal to rust
Part 1
we never had that, had that,
good dad and a good role player
we never had that strong life
We never had that, had that
all we got was a call, and a promise sayer
we never had that strong life
Part 2
growing up was filled with Perverts
to Molest a small child, to hurt
that man who gave me love like sin
locked up 3 years a little to thin
Part 1
never will my boys suffer that fate
never will they ever experience that hate
they will always love their minds
the will never have these hard times.
Part 2
a mother who worked to feed four children
will always have a smile to fill in
part 1
being raised with no dad and a liar
just as bad as a gas can to a fire
part 2
way we all die it’s not our fault
just the dues we pay to travel that road
part 1
You never had that, had that
screwed up kid across your back
you never had that hard time

Last Day in Paris
Verse:
Friends at first lovers at last
take my dreams to heart so fast
I knew you then like I know you now
keep my wings girl, beneath your gown
Verse:
Friends all night yah you wanna be
Play your song, while I’m getting that heat
I’ll sit near you like I got more to say
Our halos come off girl, after we pray
Chorus:
It’s my last day in Paris, I got no more room
You can’t come baby, or I failed to soon
Walking back baby, lonely still
Little scared lady a devil with his tail
Verse:
This place is paradise, it’s the same as your hands
My heaven girl was in you, now it’s left for me to begin
Too little love, wait til next time.
Working all day babe and playing all night
Start down low like a boy in the park
Kiss you all night babe, I give you my heart.
Chorus
Bridge:
Now I’m counting down the hours till I, board this plane
But we are dying here, and nothing feels the same.
Missing your diamonds and I’m missing your pearls my girl
Your rocked my mountain till my wings fell too this world.
Keep on moving around and around and around and around
Till you climb back down and down and down and down
Chorus
Look My Way
I run around, chasing your clowns all day
Moving my feet to that simple beat my way
Picking sticks playing those tricks all day
Baby look my way, look way
Verse:
I’ll chase you around playing lost and found some day
Losing my breath and losing at chess I may
Taking a trip missing your lips I’ll say
Girl look my way look my way, look my way
Chorus:
walking into the sun,
Dancing is no more fun
Sitting there watching you cry
Walking is no more fun,
Dancing like on the sun,
Floating up into the sky
Verse:
Dragging you down like a stupid clown they may
I know these pricks they got no hits I say
They buy your tears while making your fears I say
Girl look my way, look my way look my way
Bridge
I got no one to drag me down
I got no one to bring me down
So why don’t you run away with me
Can’t you see, can’t you see.
Verse:
Are you catching my drift for one last kiss, I pray
I’ll take a run for your hot sun, one day
Playing outside getting all damn tired, all day
Girl look my way look my way
Look my way look my way look my way.
Chorus

Made For Me
Sweetest laughter, sure as rain
Little angel heaven came
you have healed the strain
Bright-eyed wonder, full of love
Pray that I can be enough
My whole life I’ve dreamed of
I was made for you,
and you were made for me
Little dancer, small and strong
I have always known your song
Here you’ll always belong
Sunshine came so sweet and pure
Your sweet light I’ll adore
I will never ask for more
I was made for you,
And you were made for me
Soft and quite, precious one
Whole new Journey\’s just begun
Grateful Moment, I’m undone
Humbled, proud in loving arms
Give my life, I’d give it all
All your life and beyond.
I was made for you,
And you were made for me
I was made for you,
And you were made for me

My Life
It seems everyday that I wake
That I make a terrible mistake
When you call I do not hear
Or I turn to you a deafened ear
While I try to straighten out today
I say something from way in yesterday
It rips me in two to try for this thing
Why give you time when I gave you a ring
Waking up to your soft touch
When you’re gone made like a paid so much
I wander the rooms with nothing to say
No one to listen, no one left to pray
Saying I’m sorry for those unloved nights
Doesn’t mean much if I don’t make this right
I love your face and behind your eyes
I don’t want to lose what I’ve worked for my whole life
Do not leave me alone to my own defenses
I would lose all and more of our favorite chances
Say I forgive and I will be by your side
Always a time when you are part of my life.
Our Meeting
And I see, your face, and it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen
Between, these paper and pen, where do we begin, we just meet and meet again
I fly on by your life’s as I go higher and hig by your smile
Until I fall down to this ground, tho the ground
We talk ever moment till it stops being that way
You and me and our time, our time to stay
When I cry I’m crying for you, when I’m kissing on someone, I’m kissing on you
Till our meeting goes to late, into the morn, while I move for more.
While I run along all of your matter of facts, and you can’t go back now
When we get to the point where we can’t go back, and that’s a fact
You kiss it goodbye like it’s trying to stay
There is hope to dream of our day this meeting
The angle you take when we watch the sunrise
To sit by your side baby until it arrives
Stay home or comeback and meet me again anytime
Meet me late wherever you can keep me on time
Language doesn’t matter as long as we see the strong after
Mix in my toes with your feet, like it doesn’t matter
Keep me close for you cannot go there alone
Our meeting matters more than being on your own
Quite and Alone
Verse:
Quite a sound silences makes when along on a bed
Considering all the noise around my head
I’ve wished at times for someone for me
Just a whisper would be some company
Chorus:
Grateful for the peace and silent times
Imagining death a better life than mine
Eighteen corners and not even a web
No spider to stare, no mine to be fed
Bridge:
Can this length of fear, do me for good
Only by the quite means, will I be understood
Verse:
End it now this please
Foolish to feel anything
Talking to walks, see them cry
Alone in this room, every shade of lie
Chorus:
For all this time I was alone
Until a moment passed I was this tune
Given the right move I could have been
With you tonight not just quietly thinking
Second Hand Love
Verse:
Is this really that good
Is it worth my time
What would you do if you could
Can I say you are only mine
Pre-Chorus:
I can look back and say
You loved me for him that way
You took his heart I pray
Cuz mine is dead from that day
Chorus:
I didn’t want your left over kiss,
left me there in the field little miss
I know the gap and what your thinking of
Two time death from your second hand love
Verse:
I’ll fall past your eyes like I’m diving down
I’ll land real hard and break, baby I’m your clown
You touch me like you love me you say the same too
You say you miss me, I wish your words were true
Pre-chorus:
He gave you love like me
You crave him more than me
He runs faster than me
You give him a heart for free
Chorus:
I didn’t want your sloppy next one
I can smell what you both dream of
Taking you back from me all done
Twice now died from your second hand love
It kills me twice you leave me first
Then poson me after you get back
It’s not a good break baby when you thirst
For more even when it hurts I always come back
Settle In
I was lost by the way side.
I was missed by your sleigh ride
I chased you down to the ground
I danced where I could girl
I sang where you stood girl
I went all the way around
But for me sitting on this little hill
Your drinking all night, and taking that pill
You can’t be here with me right now
I’m coming back from the places I’ve been
I’m running back from the states I was in
I’m changing my ways so I can settle in on you
My guitar has a broken neck
My fingers bleed from every tip
I wanted you to hear my song
I miss you like I miss the sky
Down in a hole where I might die
You’re the only light I know, that isn’t wrong
You know girl, they speak French down here
You know little mama I don’t fear
The way that I know feels so right
Girl my girl you speak to me
From my bed awake in these dreams
Like a deaf man when he hears the first time
You drained my heart when you left me there
You drown me now in your long brown hair.
J’taime my sweet, my little miss
My long lost love and forever kiss
This was your song from the moment I dropped this ink
I’m coming back from the shores I swam
I’m running back from being on the lamb
I bringing you back every second I missed.
I’m coming back from the places I’ve been
I’m running back from the states I was in
I’m changing my ways so I can settle in on you
Someone
Verse:
when I’m alone it makes me cry
what is untold makes me die
Where can I see my mind fly
who is it that I see inside
Chorus:
I need someone in my life
I Want you here by my side
if I knew where your hand will hide
I could follow you there and find, Behind.
Verse
someone near someone close
someone who always knows
someone once so for from tears
someone from that place to here
Chorus
Bridge
if I see you walking there on your own, someone here, someone I know
if you see me standing there all alone out there, No one I know
Verse:
no one I know
Do do do la la la
NO one I know.
NO one I know.
NO one I know.
NO one I know.
NO one I know.
NO one I know.
Takeaway
Chorus:
Love take this Boy away
from this place
out of this state
Into the Part where you say
from this place
out of this state.
Verse:
walk around and if you feel
or want to see
even to Meet
the Face you forgot when he
or want to see
even to meet
Hope along or drag while you walk
baby just don’t stop
or perhaps drop
The things you enjoy when you talk
baby just don’t stop
or perhaps drop
CHORUS
VERSE:
in a house or out by your door
your brought me more
and took my floor
the mess of all those undone chores
you brought me more
and took my floor
along with all of my pain
into the same
ours only became
what we wanted in the first place
into the same
our love only became
(A cappella)
on the other side was you and I
alone for life
given those ties
to forever and on into our lies
alone for life
given those lies
Chorus
in the middle was our path
it was all we had
and more than that
it was the greatest of all we lacked
it was all we had
and more than that
to be in our smiles and Happy thoughts
what no ones got
this same lot
how would you feel to know what we’ve got
and we are not
that same lot
CHORUS
Bridge:
I was raised in the world
it was what I knew
I won’t forget your view
into the light I can see
baby what I need
I don’t want your world
CHORUS
CHORUS
Vancouver Rain
Verse:
We left the place nearly three hours ago
You walked down Granville St, with me in tow.
You had a bottle alone, for too long, to help you say
you wanted to love me girl, but your heart couldn’t stay.
Bridge:
A friend of mine who’s a five star, heard my tears
him and I we walked all night, Till I couldn’t hear
Chorus:
Your voice over the Dancing stars, that felt so very hard.
they call for showers, but I knew the best part, I knew the best part
Verse:
I have Vancouver rain on my face
my chest is dripping where, your kisses were placed
I take a long time friend and we heard a bell
long walk back to heaven girl when you start from hell
Bridge:
I need a pick it up and shake it off day, Something for real
something I can rest my eyes on girl, I need to heal
Chorus:
I get on by, and forget your wicked demands
you Slap me across my bleeding heart, Without raising a hand
you never came back, but you sent the rain
Covered in cold, a jaded heart, is all I claim
Chorus;
Do do do do
Peter and I
Growing up late, long days behind
I’ve got a short name, no one that finds
I pray like the Chinese and I’m finding little time
To move towards these leaves as I’m watching it collide
Peter and I are like old kids
He wants what I have and I want his
He’ll fly from the lost boys and came for a day
I’ll fly back to neverland and I’ll fly away, I’ll fly away
Chorus:
Peter and Me, run like the moonbeam
Finding the place, picking your team
Getting back to my roots, where I started from
Find all you need and all you want
I’d stay out there two stars from the right
I would find the time to read your mind
I’d call you up and I’d bring you there
I’d give you my love, baby, in the midnight air
In the mid air
You could stay home today and sleep with no might
Or you could come with me and stay up all night
I’ll fly you past the moon and even the stars
We’d be gone so long babe, you might say we’ve gone too far
Chorus
I’ll be your Mr. Pan for a day, I’ll keep him well known my way
I’ll be your boy back on planet earth, I’ll be your man alone if you’ll just be my girl

A Good Man
He’s a good man today
His two feet are moving straight
Looking down he follows the cracks
On his way down to Hell he’s never looking back
He’s a bad man today
Like a blind man he’s running away
Pickin dirt from the sand
Using his fist and breaking his hand
A Good Man
A Good Man
A Good Man
A Good Man
He’s a bad father today
Carrying his voice away away
Drinking from the bottle with no empty
He’s feeling a little proud and alittle less worried
He’s a good husband today
Sending the hate down everyway
Gave to his wife only a verbal name
He made the right choice to stay away
A Good Man
A Good Man
A Good Man
A Good Man
I was his good son
And he gave me some
He showed me his best
And it was the worst one.
He’s a good friend today
They don’t know him in that way
Doing a little good doesn’t make you not bad
Doing a bad thing hides the good, and bury’s what he had
He’s a bad man today because he always knew wrong
He learned it young from his own and he said son, this is how it’s done
He was a good man today, Then he woke up and he prayed
He walked past his own grave, Cause the son of a bad man never came my way
Cold Hard Cash
When the white rain goes down
The thunder crashes to the ground
3 days pass before you came back
your body rotten inside and your hear turned to black
you laid there all dead and wrong
bleeding underneath your tongue
pickled out like a bleached white shirt
poisoned your soul
canceled your hold
on the love that you filled your heart with dirt
you took my hit
and you fancied a kiss
your soul didn’t wanna stick around no more
frankly I don’t’ give a trick
a dollar or 50 cents
I don’t give money to hookers like you no more
I planned this steady rain
I ran past your crooked legs
I died the day you did too
We all like to catch a ride
We all like to die this time
Just wait and see what I can do
Friends never once, lovers by chance
My drug for you was my cold hard cash
You tasted my soul,you skipped my roll
Couldn’t wait to run your last
Taking your trip across my lips
I traveled to the future and beyond
You died today in my arms I prayed
For your daughters life but it was gone.
My Girl
My girl tells a story with every foot step
She talks about being alone and how she wept
Falling over like a circus city clown
Trading glances out the door and she’s looking down
Her foot touches the floor and it speaks a word
Redemption, love, I can’t go back I won’t be heard
How can she say this how can she be right
so is so cruel, she tells of love and a fight
her heals preach to me, they give a sermon from the mount
my girl has the commandments boy and she’s walking away giving them out
she leaves the room and heads fro the door step
her scream is so loud from the shoes that are wet
I’ll go into the rain again I’ll venture ahead
She says to my ear, as her steps are killing me dead
I’m dying down here, I’m dying along
She won’t com back, into our home
She waits for my last breath before she’s gone
She walks back, where the light once shone
Her talk turns around at the very end
She says with her eyes, her voice looks bent
She captures my hand in hers she holds
The keys to our place final and cold.
Not Broken Yet
My girl tells a story with every foot step
She talks about being alone and how she wept
Falling over like a circus city clown
Trading glances out the door and she’s looking down
Her foot touches the floor and it speaks a word
Redemption, love, I can’t go back I won’t be heard
How can she say this how can she be right
so is so cruel, she tells of love and a fight
her heals preach to me, they give a sermon from the mount
my girl has the commandments boy and she’s walking away giving them out
she leaves the room and heads fro the door step
her scream is so loud from the shoes that are wet
I’ll go into the rain again I’ll venture ahead
She says to my ear, as her steps are killing me dead
I’m dying down here, I’m dying along
She won’t com back, into our home
She waits for my last breath before she’s gone
She walks back, where the light once shone
Her talk turns around at the very end
She says with her eyes, her voice looks bent
She captures my hand in hers she holds
The keys to our place final and cold.
Drive By Mother
Drive by mother she stays then she leaves
She drives my street then leaves me
Bring me up, lift me up, I stand tall and I call your name
Take me there, bring me there, I won’t fall but I’ll call your place
In and out, stay right here, she moves so fast, no one cares
But me I see, how far it is, to miss her love, her one last kiss
She comes and she goes
Like no ones knows
How do I go on like that
Alone for life
Nowhere to hide
Catching my breath like I want to go back
She left to fast
Felt alright
Didn’t know it could go on
I tested my arms now
Laughed at my pain so
Need you more on a day like this
Drive me back to the corner store
Help me pick out some more
For you and for me just be together and free
I wish you wouldn’t drive so fast
I wish you wanted life to last
To kiss to hold to be love and be more bold
Confident Love
I cried myself dry, everything against the wind
Staring out at a mountainside, babe, I started up again
The water looked so long and cold I felt I had to arrange
I see your face in my hands and even in my dreams
The beautiful place filled with ice
The snow is so far away babe, I don’t know why
I felt like catching my breath, before I went to pray
You said yes, and I said no, hell it felt the same
A body’s broken and fingers tied
My handle is my name
I gave you my last, and only first time
My love my body all the same
And if I should go
Carry me back home
I’m staring at this map don’t know where to go
I could walk up or down or a bit closer to home
My mind says left, my heart says go
My body says yes my feet say no
I traveled a thousand kliks to see exactly what I missed
Back at your ranch babe, where we first kissed
I found my way to your home, to your front door
I looked all around my bed for you, nothing to adore.
And if I should go
Carry me back home
I am missing your confident love babe
Your sweet breath in my ear
What time do we meet up tonight
I’ll be home tomorrow my dear

My Little Miss
My Little Miss
Can I have just one kiss
Where have you been
Out tonight with the good Lord Watching?
Boys drive so fast
And their hands move faster
Tell me where to go
I’ll drive you no matter
You where my baby
Hold you in my arms still maybe?
Bringing you home mama fast asleep
Tears on her cheek
Never wrote a song like this before
I never knew angels exist
To bring you home where we sit
Making you warm, my little miss
My little child
Love filled hearts perhaps?
Rent paid and food we ate
Close to nothing some days
My little darling
Cuter than the angels calling
You showed me how to love my girl
Past this world
Never wrote a song like this before
I never knew angels exist
To bring you home where we sit
Making you warm, my little miss

Baby Blues
This boy dance like a little man
He moved so fast like a baby boy can
He ran and ran and ran from post to post
Dragging his feet my little ghost
We faked our smiles, when we knew the plan
We couldn’t dance because our time had ran
That potbelly grew the baby moved
Danced one final step while we flew
Looking now into your baby blues
Seeing you gone on your own
Left me here, left us no clue
Get up my baby don’t lay down
Keeping your word God, we kept your rules
Seeing our baby just like fools
Go on, move through this town
Forever seems to wait, when you hear that sound
Looking now into your baby blues
Seeing you gone on your own
Left me here, left us no clue
Get up my baby don’t lay down

My Case
All I got is my case, never found his face
No one left to blame, No one to take my place
My money’s gone for now, my case brings me down
I need a little fresh tears, I can know why I’m here
My lover’s gone, my lover’s stayed An empty can of disarray
Filled by pain and shadows of hate I feel my case is late
Way back in my day I had innocence to burn
Full of the things I had a lonely boy in this world.
I was born with a case, innocent and pristine.
He stole my place, a liar and unclean
After those days past after my hate relapsed
I walk with my fist up, sang to loud perhaps
I had watched my case grow, too large for more no
Filling up fast, too much for my endure somehow
I wrote her name down, next to my wrist
I felt her breathing went down my last kiss
This case I’m dragging around is too full now, just one more
I need a new one now; this old town takes the floor
My baby I’m leaving, be back real soon
Look for my shadow, when you look at the moon
Stop my case from falling to the haunting step
Keep me from crawling to your wanting lip

1237
I got a 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 9
I need a 1 2 3 4 , so I can be fine
They give me a 1 2 3 7 still off by 3
I need a 1 2 3 4 2 times for me
My day goes fine as I move through
12 hundred times it’s not about you
3 minutes past but I move on
that times goes by times goes on
1427 to start out right
717 to the next fight
bring it on home girl bring it on soon
I can’t move on I can’t move through
I got no time I got no space
My numbers all wrong this is my race
Numbers add up and numbers just go
My times all wrong, I just know
I’m losing my touch I’m losing my mind
1237 is the exact wrong time
1234 is a much better start
to a good day straight to the heart
54323 is not a real hand
1234 is not much better than
I can’t argue anymore I can’t miss
I can’t pass go I need more of this
I race to the front I race to the back
I lose my feet while I lose my stack
1234 is my time to beat
1237 means I’m off by 3

Sitting Here
1:30 in the morning and I’m laying here
visiting myself thinking clear
I’ve got your crows in my head
I’ve got you back into my bed
I’m looking for a dream so I can catch you
I’m hoping for a good one, to help my through
This time this place, my mind my race
Faster than a bullet can, more man than I planned
Waking up and 11am wanting to be
Awake all night making talk almost free
Sitting here by myself wanting you awake
You to be my eve, Adam I could make
Hiding between these two rocks
Dance a little two step, grab some chalk
Play like a kid with a chin
Take it amid a little sin
Move on down, walk along now
Make a song find a clown
Carry me, lose me, kiss me, phone me,
Find me, love me , give me, you’re free
Baby doll, you are the best I know
I’m in love from your mind down
You fill me in when I never knew
I listen free and you love me too.

Just Dreaming
I’m sitting here, by the window hearing it fall
The rain by the window I’m lovin’ it’s calm
Waiting for you to open your eyes for my joy
Sleep keeps me alive while I’m just your boy
Your tender smile I see in the bed just falling
Deeper than you know, you keep my calling
I run up to your door just walks back down
You can say yes when you come back around again.
Laughing with you, walking with you, talking with you
Kissing with you, dancing with you, singing with you
My lady your with me tonight with it all down
Can’t run from this time can’t move out of this town
I know I’ll find you back around my daytime
Feeling me feeling you, then we meet around my anytime
My friend today you’ll be my dream girl
Cause tomorrow you are gonna be my real girl
Can’t we love, stay like this forever?
I wanna show you what love is meant to be here
I’ll walk back to our home to our place tonight then
While you sleeping tonight I’ll be just dreamin

Hitch
My mind could never imagine you saying more
You told me the truth I wish it was so
Then you bring me here to satisfy your
But the whole damn time I’m lovin’ this chore
Then I slip into your arms to feel your embrace
Your warm your loving face With all these restrictions
I just wanted your glow
Here’s to you and here’s to me
Here’s to all the things and people we’ll meet
Your mine now and all mine is yours
I wish it wasn’t so but here we go
With a big bump in the road I’ll look head
Just to let you know how it goes
This relationship of fingers and of toes.
This is our life we should be just fine
We’ll work through rocks and other hard times
The miss of me will be alright
Just her smile is enough to light.
This time we have right here, just came down
From a place so dear to you and I
Where we can all see our fears and dreams go by
The Right Side
Seeing your face girl, down on the pillow
Gazing into my eyes, with a breath too slow
Never getting up out of your touch girl, never diving too low
For enough to cry by, or to die by
With all of your pain and blissful tears
The day we died was the day that we feared
Only in a prayer so deep, one by one our souls did meet
On the bright side, baby, we went into each
Carrying my body across that floor
Seeing you cry was not yours
It was the right side, baby, we went into more
All our hearts ached for each others love
Our bodies ached from the torturers glove, baby
We can’t even say we tried
We don’t even know how to survive
To arrive by, to dive by, baby, I’m so into you
I can’t feel to get out I need to stay in
There’s so much pain in here I can barely breathe in
I need you baby, need what you gave lady, another day away….
Another day away
Carrying my body across that floor
Seeing you cry was not yours
It was the right side, baby, we went into more
Not Really Sure
He stands outside by his car and she says she doesn’t know
How to feel
How to see
To show what to leave and what to through away
He thinks it’s him he says it to her
Who needs time
Who needs space
Not just a smile but it was her whole face
Can he be sad, he says to his mind
Can this be real
Am I right or mistaken
This is my life I am giving and it’s barely being taken away
She brought him a gift at his work that Wednesday
He smiled
She winked
They both were caught in that gaze
All he thinks now is what does she remember
About his hear
About her love
Together they were and now and he says it’s them or her….
Her mind is confused it’s not on right
It’s stressed about life and she doesn’t want to ride
All she knows is what she feels is a breeze just slight
Whether or not she says goodbye to him there
At the car or at the lake
At the door it’s all a mistake
She doesn’t know she’s not really sure.
A Kiss Goodbye
Growing up she always said that her love was always there
I had been ill for some time and she always took good care
Chicken soup or eggs hard boiled, her love so kind
She granted me life, I was so lucky to find
My dearest mother, I always had there even when we fought
She love me so much too much to say words could not
Through pain in my body and pain in my soul
She hugged me tight and would never let her baby go
All of her pain came second to us not herself
I never saw how much she cared until it ended for us
Laying there in the hospital bed as my dad went for something to drink
My mom passed away in the morning of September 17th
That morning I wept and into the afternoon I did as well
Every time I looked for a picture my eyes began to swell
Driving to the store with my sister and on the floor I saw
Pictures of my resting mother a smile with no flaws
If there was thing in my life I always wanted was this
It was to give my mom on her cheek a goodbye kiss
To never know her fate or dance with her again
I love her and remember the comfort during the rain.
Gone
The last time we talked was quite some days ago
I wanted to say more than I did to heal your sorrow
All the reasons in the world would never explain the truth
I missed the feelings I had when I was with you
Driven by passion and propelled by a greater cause
But all I wanted was someone who truly loved
Then we met each other thinking it was our fate
Thinking we were strong enough, we weren’t ready for that day
The things I did to make you mad, the things I said to make you sad
Were all from a glimpse of me as a boy not even a man
This time our future has ended forever and some
This time I don’t want to ever see you cry again
You loved me forever and so did I too you
Forever hadn’t seemed so long until it ended for me a you
I remember your face and your tender eyes wide open
I could only think of how wrong I felt to dead to rope in
I will always remember you never to forget the smiles
Always trying to lose the memories of those times
I am sorry I left you I never did belong
I wish you happiness and sorry that I’m gone.

The Darkest Shadow is Never Seen
I came back from the ledge
my heart still beat
I wasn’t gone i was not asleep
i ran along your matter of facts
asked myself why, why not act
as a child i cried, for absent help
i made it seem, like i felt
cut more and less, bled old and red
put it back against, against the dead
carried alot now, alone on the sun
my shadow grew from underneathe
cast my hand out to see why
the darkest shadow is never seen
surrounded myself by, room full of stars
i saw a shape, made from a far
grasped for the finish line, hide from your start
take a taste, heaven knows a man apart
never had someone to call me back
no friend to wake, wake me up
left mark on the darkest time
i pushed it on, on the right time
my ledge still waits, it calls my name
runs me down, runs me the same
this sundance star cares to be mean
the darkest shadow now, is never seen
I came back from the ledge
my heart still beat
I wasn’t gone i was not asleep
i ran along your matter of facts
asked myself why, why not act
carried alot now, alone on the sun
my shadow grew from underneathe
cast my hand out to see why
the darkest shadow is never seen

My Pedophile
Thinking back to all the ways I’ve lived
Looking back to days I Sinned
Memorizing all the ways I’ve hid
So can I bring it back to his chin
I was dealt a rough card I was dealt a hand
I was down from the start, he was not my man
Did what bad men do, when they meet a friend
Buy you candy, books, and hold your hand
Not just to buy your smile or buy your grin
They Buy your guilt so you don’t turn um in
your running fast on the cold dark tile
He’s not my friend, no he’s my pedophile
We danced at night in your warm car
We talked in bed It was too far
Catching my breath as the waves crashed on
I was alone, I was still, I was gone
I held on for too long, I learned from way back
I tried to speak, tried to claw my way back
Did what bad men do, when they meet a friend
Buy you candy, books, and hold your hand
Not just to buy your smile or buy your grin
They Buy your guilt so you don’t turn um in
your running fast on the cold dark tile
He’s not my friend, no he’s my pedophile
Sick Like Me
We did some crazy things baby – when we got up
Mix and matching all day, while we are cooking it up
Forget the time babe, forget about my place
Losing track of the dime bag, dropping all over the place
Woah, woah, woah, wooo
How about a party, with our friends up stairs
Let’s get it started right, started on two pairs
Forget the rent doll, forget about the kids now
Lets get high tonight, visit this old town
Woah, woah, woah, wooo
Can I ever get clean again, can I find myself
Will I ever know love, and then love myself
You left too soon, those pretty little stars
Your face stayed the same, but your body fell apart
But who am I kidding, myself or him
I like who I am, strung out, proper and prim
Woah, woah, woah, wooo
My love song sounds a lot like pain
Full of whatever I get with the devil in my vein
I need a friend who’s hands feels like the next best thing
I will be alone cuz is he sick like me.
Woah, woah, woah, wooo
Can I ever get clean again, can I find myself
Will I ever know love, and then love myself
Pouring out
Listen, Listen, It’s quiet here
like stained glass windows in atmosphere
Crying for you
Sirens through amplitude
a voice drowned by the waves on the shore
words into pieces while she’s wishing for more
calling for truth
she’s thinking what the use
It’s Raining, It’s pouring out
Speak your piece before it’s caught
Turn to a signal before you’re taught
Forget their rules
Forget the fighting rules
It’s a changing from alive to dead
Path makes your way till your love is dread
Come to you
Come to any truth
It’s raining tonight
When I was a kid
When I was a kid, we talked about bad men
They would come to my house, and someone let them in
they would curse and yell, and make a ruckus noise
my mother said to whisper, but boys will be boys
when i was a kid, we had a lot of late nights
we had dinner in daytime, and some without lights
canned pineapple rings, was a birthday cake
something to eat, was all it would take
when i was a kid my mom met a lot of men
she cried and screamed just a little past ten
i woke up and she had left for the hospital bed
she came back from clink, she came back from the dead
when i was a kid, my mother tried to die
she did it so poorly, it’s like she never tried
they took her away and a lot of folks came my way
some said you poor boy, i’ll never go away
in walks a few more men, in walks the beast
his name was jack, to say the very least
he catered to mom, he laughed like a fist
he had me spend nights at his place to rest
I remember looking out for him, and pretending to sleep
i remember laying still, to not make a peep
by age alone at seven, I felt like a man of 46
I knew more about life and death, than most people can guess
