Where are the men of honor? The men still willing to fight? For their ladies, for love, and for God up above Where are the noble knights? Where are the men who see value In a fair day of hard work? Who come home at night to play with their kids, and kiss their faithful wives? Where are the men who aspire to fill Justice's mighty shoes? To fight and defend, no matter the cost Men who'd die to do what is right

Men of Honor

Twinkle twinkle, little star Now I wonder who you are Above the human race, so high Not a worry in your skies Twinkle twinkle, little star So unaware, you break my heart

So very long we have sat together, you and I. It has become apparent that you care so Little about small talk or discourse or Even interacting with me at all outside of your own convenience. Now, after all these months, I analyze and wonder: Do you even Care at all about me? Or have I simply existed Ephemerally to you all along?

You been riding round, driving in your car And you been looking for answers in the stars Cuz you been searching for something, anything to believe in. You been runnin' round out chasing rainbows And you hide around corners tryin' to scare the ghosts Jumping at the shadows of your past for all the wrong reasons. Cuz you believed in her, but then believed in leavin'. Hey there, star boy You've gone too far boy Get back to your car, boy Get to where you belong You can tell her you're wrong, boy You can write her more songs, boy But she's too far gone, boy Cuz now she's walkin' on the sun You can lay around all day in bed And you can try to find happiness in someone else's head But you'll never forget the first time you held her hand. You can go out and try to have some fun And you can run a race that's already been won You can look again for true love if you want But you won't find her, cuz she's walkin on the sun Hey there, star boy You've gone too far boy Get back to your car, boy Get to where you belong You can tell her you're wrong, boy You can write her more songs, boy But she's too far gone, boy Cuz now she's walkin' on the sun

Who are you, man with the blazing eyes? Hidden in the background you remain, but your firm presence is undeniable. Day by day you are passed by unnoticed and unperturbed by this fact. You. The quiet observer. The secret philosopher. One glance and I can recognize your steadfast intuition. You are strong. You are silent. You have an element of mystery which leaves me terrified. Whether a lover or a murderer, I cannot be certain, All I know is that I am undeniably drawn to you. Drawn to your danger and your secrecy. Drawn to your strength, your resolution, Drawn to the interesting prospect that your days are beyond mine Is this a curse or a blessing? Who are you, man with the blazing eyes? You are enticing And you'll never know it. I think.

a soul is lost when one feels the weight of dishonesty while trying to be true to oneself to live with no direction is meaningless and shameful for a life without drive becomes a lost opportunity for greatness love is lost when one's confidence is found in another person alone for permanence is relative and castles must not be built upon sand

If this is all that's left If there is nothing more If I am on my own So be it. The stray darting eye The whisper, passing by I can't come free of it So be it. I hear she's gone crazy I heard she's deranged She's spiraling downward I suppose So be it. I prowl in the darkness Through restless dreams haunting Wake up, sweat and screaming So be it. Sink or swim, no wading Live or die, no saving Fight with iron fist, no failing So be it.

So be it.

If this is all that's left If there is nothing more If I am on my own So be it. The stray darting eye The whisper, passing by I can't come free of it So be it. I hear she's gone crazy I heard she's deranged She's spiraling downward I suppose So be it. I prowl in the darkness Through restless dreams haunting Wake up, sweat and screaming So be it. Sink or swim, no wading Live or die, no saving Fight with iron fist, no failing So be it.

Did you drink away the pain, my love? Did it make you feel alright? Would you have even needed to, if you still had me in your life? Can you even remember the mess you made? (The mess you made of yourself.) Do you remember the mangled words you yelled? and How badly did it hurt when you fell? Do you think anyone wondered why you turned out the lights? Did they know that you weren't yourself? And I'm curious to know if they laughed at you When your friends hid you until you got well! I'll be honest and say I knew you were messed up, But I never had guessed the extent. Because even you once had rules for yourself, Well, I suppose out the window they went! I know who you really are. This new facade must be synthetic For I've seen you at your worst but even I can't deny, Honey, thats pretty pathetic.

Homesick for you Trembling too... Just wishing that you were here To shelter me in your embrace And dry away my tears I know you're not gone Just far away I still think of you all the time The war is over The raging has ceased But not all can be healed by time I don't want you back I now know that you Simply are just not the one But you're still in my dreams I still reminisce And the heart in my chest weighs a ton I look at the stars Admire their glow They always made me think of you I wonder over and over Even though it is futile If I ever cross your mind too Sometimes I imagine What it will be like When I someday see you again Will we share a smile? Will you just pass me by? Would you want to be friends? I still love you D - - - - - But I'm not in love It may be for the best we're apart But one thing I know I'll never forget you You're forever tattooed on my heart

Secrets secrets secrets I know all your stories Your insecurities Your dark side Secrets secrets secrets Some you told me Some that other guy told me Some I overheard Others I have acquired illicitly Secrets secrets secrets I hold your reputation And your mental stability And your trust In my hands Secrets secrets secrets I am trustworthy And that's a good thing But who hasn't made bad choices before? Secrets secrets secrets You know some of mine Think you know all of mine You could crush me bit by bit but in the wrong hands, Secrets secrets secrets Are nothing but a truce between frenemies Like two loaded guns Aimed at eachother Smiling, but set to **** if necessary. Secrets secrets secrets Are they really secrets at all? Are you sure you know me? Whispers run rampant here.
