Here by the river you won't believe, the things that you will see
The hearts are dark, the books are burned, there's fighting on the streets
The fires burn round every turn, the ashes in the urn
They whisper softly, this time it was me, but next will be your turn
Down by the river they are drowning in, you never wash away your sin
Down by the river, the people shiver, they sink before they fall
Here by the river, hate and fear are the drugs that people seek
The strong survive, they fuel the high, by praying on the weak
Knock down the doors, make victims of the poor, that’s how you win the war
As they die, don’t look them in the eye, be glad they are no more
Down by the river they are drowning in, you never wash away your sin
Down by the river the people shiver they sink before they fall

From the moment I was born
They told me I was lost
I had to pay the price
Before I knew the cost
They made me work for money
They told me how to live
They didn’t care If I was happy
Or if I bought in to the myth
For my sins they gave me life
I didn’t ask for it
They gave me alcohol
To numb the wounded spirit
It put me on my knees
And I began to pray
Would you love me if I was good
Or would you hate me if I was gay
When I got to the end
There was nothing left
Except for whispers from illusions
And the certain call of death
As the final sunsets
The voices fade in my head
I understand the emptiness
Of everything they said

One day I'll wake up with the sunlight in my eyes
Until that day comes I will keep on getting by
I'll keep on waiting
Until I wake up with the sunlight in my eyes
The sunny days thar never seem to stay
Those sunny days won't seem so far away
Someday I'll wake up feeling like I am brand new
Until that day comes I will keep on feeling blue
I'll keep on waiting
Until I wake up with the sunlight in my eyes
The sunny days that never seem to stay
Those sunny days won't seem so far away
One day I'll wake up from this dream I'm falling in
When that day comes I will settle in my skin
I'll keep on waiting
Until I wake up with the sunlight in my eyes
The sunny days that never seem to stay
Those sunny days won't seem so far away

Self healing isn’t about getting placing blame on others
It is about not placing the blame on yourself.

This is the man I want to be.
A man who walks through the storm, with his head held high, his shoulders back and his chest out.
He is strong, courageous, full of fight and purpose, so certain is he of reaching the distant sunlight he sees breaking through the violent dark clouds.
He feels the kinetic force of the wild wind, the icy chill of the bullet rain slashing his skin and their weight push him back.
It is a blow that would **** the life from many mens heart but It does not break his will, he finds a meaning in the struggle that emboldens it.
He keeps his back straight, his pace steady and puts one foot in front of the other because he knows that each step takes him closer to the warmth of a brighter day.
This is the man I want to be.

I am a writer who does not write
I am a poet who does not rhyme
I am a painter who does not paint
I am an illusion in a moment of time
I am a counsellor but I am unwell
I am love but I am alone
I am a dreamer who does not dream
I am me but I don’t know myself
I am a philosopher who does not think
I am a politician who does not speak
I am kind but I forget to be nice
I am a pen without any ink.

The skies are full of woe
I see thunder down that road
Baby let me go
I can't leave you on my own
The clouds are dark and grey
I think I'm falling like the rain
I am on my knees
I'm begging baby set me free
Everytime I look into your eyes
I lose myself, I know that love is blind
Maybe baby, I'm just crazy
Maybe I love you so
Maybe baby, I'm so crazy
I don't even know
If I love you so
The stars they fade away
The light will die, just like the day
Baby, give me peace
You give me something I don't need
The nights they never end
I can't sleep so I pretend
You were made for me
That loving you was meant to be
Everytime I look into your eyes
I lose myself, I know that love is blind
Maybe baby, I'm just crazy
Maybe I love you so
Maybe baby, I'm so crazy
I don't even know
If I love you so

I saw a girl on the tube
I imagined we would get along
She would sit down beside me
And tell me her favourite song
And from that moment on
We would talk everyday
As if there had never been a moment
When we had not known each other
But the train came to a stop
She walked through the sliding doors
I went back to my paper
And read about the news.

A see through girl looked up at the stars
Lost for a second and the sound of the cars
Faded from her mind like the boy who didn't call
For just one second the city felt small
She thought of the love that came from the dust
That fell from the sky and the clouds up above
She thought of this rock that we have to call home
That spins in the black as we all die alone
She thought of chances lost when love had broke her heart
Of the rivers running dry and the ones that never start
She thought of the wind blowing through her air
Of the pink lights in the clouds that shine when she's not there
And her dreams of love
They were dreams and they were nothing more
Those sad dreams of love
They were never worth crying for.

Is there a peace in that horizon
Or just a dream of surviving
Are you the one who gives me healing
Or will you watch when I am bleeding
I Bust my gut
I've said enough
I wonder what we are
We're just the dust of a star
Is there a light within the darkness
A lonely star can leave you heartless
Will you talk when there is silence
Or will you leave me to be lifeless
I Bust my gut
I've said enough
I wonder what we are
We're just the dust of a star
