Missing you has created this emptiness Liked a hunger unsatisfied it cry’s out Do I love you? The answer’s yes Yet I’m paralyzed from fear and doubt There’s strength and power in this heart of mine A heart that beats strong and proud Am I Infatuated or is this real Second guessing is not allowed I’m scared I’ll lose you if I wait too long A price I’m not ready to pay But then again, what if I’m wrong I know hurting us both is not OK There’s so much I want to tell you Things I must say It seems so unfair Do you feel the same way? I’ve searched my heart And waited so long I want to take a chance But I think it would be wrong I want to remove things That are keeping us apart Although I’m not sure Just where to start I don’t have much time Because my kidney’s are bad It’s my biggest obstacle And I’ll just make you sad I know that you say It’s going to be fine But they said ten years And it’s already been nine But I want you to know My love is for real I’m so thankful for you You’re the last love I’ll feel I’m lucky to have you And the love that you share I want you to know Just how much I care I hope you understand I hope that you see That this the way That it has to be Please don’t be sad I don’t want to hurt you It’s the right thing to do And I feel that I have to It ****** me off All the things that it’s taken This kidney disease Has left me forsaken I know you’ll be there Right to the end I love you and you know that You are my best friend.

My Confession

People have changed it seems Allot over the years Were smarter, stronger But Godless, without fear Right and wrong is all fuzzy That baby's dead who was he He was a choice made in haste Now it's just medical waste Might have grown up To save us all one day I hope that wasn't him But who's to say They make what's wrong seem right There's more darkness now than light If you don't agree with what they say Get ready for a fight Believing in what's right Has become the crime And it's getting worse All the time Tolerance they say It's what they make us do If you won't agree Then it's the ACLU for you There's no brotherhood of man Where you could get a helping hand We used to look out for one another Everybody was your brother They say Peace! Peace But there is no peace There’s no peace without love And no love without God above Tell me, where's the love I don't know, I cant tell you I don't feel it anymore

Changes
Loneliness Fills the air inside My lungs fill with despair This place inside I have created Not of my own doing but a by-product it has a taste like rusty metal When I leave it goes with me It has become a part of me I am comfortable with it now It is now my only friend I have forgotten how to be around others My friend likes it that way And loneliness keeps me that way Making me feel safe it deceives me There are time I embrace it and breath it in Other times I try to hide from it But I cant escape it Every time I take a breath it's there Waiting, calling out to me like a lover I have forgotten who I am I think I have become something else all together I cry out to God "Free me from this curse!" I don't want to feel this, But no response Lord! Lord! take me! I cry Even if I have to suffer I will Just to be free from it I would do anything The taste I cant get rid of the taste The bile rises in me and it's getting harder to eat Food has no flavor anymore I cant remember the last time I've taken any I am poured out like water Wasting away in my own private hell My soul want's to escape this sinful flesh I no longer see the world as I did My world that I see is black and empty like the night only it doesn't renew itself Time is running out yet I'm not afraid I am ready for it It ends here I'm the last of my kind It's over now there is emptiness

Emptiness
If you'll listen, I'll tell you a story Of a life of pain and trouble I had to learn things the hard way sometimes, some things over and over It was the worst feeling I ever had couldn’t say what I was feeling Couldn't conceive it, couldn't believe it No understanding could I find It was all mental fornication They were destroying their creation Why couldn't they stop to see What they were doing to me Now I do the best I can Taught myself to be a man Loneliness comes and goes My scars will never heal Never reached my full potential I'll never know what could have been All I feel is defeated I feel like I was cheated It's Gods plan now I see This is how it has to be I'm the one who suffers without you I'll be fine someday But now my heart is void and black I lost a piece I can't get back And now it feels like it's just over Yes it's over for me My thoughts are cluttered With all these memories Like pieces of fire They burn me inside I'm swallowed up by all my failures There's no time left to do it all again All my reasons have become excuses Don’t have any left because I used them all No point in dreaming I'm just to tired It's time to put away such silly things Nothing's changed that much for me Why can't they just let me be I no longer care about it Or do I?

Twisted
Look at him twitching You know he's tweaking His jaw swinging back and forth But there's no speaking See's something down In the carpet twinkling He gets all excited You know what he's thinking Anything he finds He's going to be smoking I wouldn't be laughing Because he ain't joking Down there for hours Refusing to fail Doesn't even slow down After smoking toenail Smokes up almost All that he finds He hears a noise Now he's peeking through the blinds He's been smoking too long And he's up all night Doesn't have a job But that's alright He's finds a dumpster And without any warning He's dives in searching Til the early morning That's just the life Of a tweaker you see Always out hustling To get his **** for free If you see him at night Approach with caution He's got a stink about him Because ain't been washing Picking at his face Til his sores are bleeding A light and a mirror Is all he's needing He finally got busted Now he's on parole Has to hide his drugs Up in his ******** It's a shame, but that's the way A tweaker gets by in the world today His family don't want him And he don't have many friends His life is cut short And that's how it ends Everybody knows him But no one knows his name They just refer to him As "That dope smoking Lame"

Tweakers
The morning is quiet and the lake is like glass The sun is out the wind gone at last I love the early part of the day Just listening to nature with nothing to say Nature speaks to me in a beautiful song I wish it could stay like this all day long But soon it's time for toil and confusion As the world comes alive and man's intrusion There's things to do, and work to be done Children squealing as they play in the sun Then evening comes and the sun's almost gone I listen to the night until the sun brings the dawn I love living here next to the lake Always thankful for the memories I take To me, it doesn't get any better than this I find peace and serenity in my morning bliss

Morning Bliss
Have you ever just wanted to see? Into the vastness of your mind? Getting lost inside your self The way out is hard to find Lucidity and focus Are sharpened by the **** It allows my mind to open As I smoke and write this song Now I don’t get all worked up, About life and all that **** I just load another **** hit, And roast that ******* **** I hold it in until it feels As if my lungs are going to burst. I start craving “Little Debbie’s” But I’ve got to get some first. I don’t like to drink, that much But I love to smoke some grass. It’s not your job to judge me, But feel free to kiss my *** There’s no point in denying Because we all know it’s true There’s always that one who talks **** No matter what you do So what’s the point of living? If you can’t have any fun I don’t make the rules, I break them And that’s just how it’s done Doesn’t anyone remember? How to love and to forgive? Accept me, for who I am, And quit telling me how to live. Is there someone there to share in? You’re suffering and your guilt? Or are they just there to destroy All that you have built Turn your head and look the other way. Mind your business, but beware. Think about me what you will Because I really just don’t care I’m the king of my castle And all that I can see Just me and my dog Chica Living large and living free. I’m sorry if you’re offended By my arrogance and wit. There are things you will understand And allot you just won’t get. Now there’s one thing to remember. And you should always try to do. Realize who you’re ******* with And that I’m allot smarter than you. Come on now I’m just kidding. I think this **** is funny. I’m going to put it on the internet And try to make some money I have one last thing to tell you And I almost forgot If you come around here You better bring some *** Now if you’re out of **** This is what you can do Bring some “Little Debbie’s” But bring enough for two.

He's just a young boy He doesn't understand Why his family's driving off With some other scary man The boy sees his father With his heart broken bad As they're driving away And it makes him feel sad That was the day Everything changed And he was scared His little life rearranged Just four years old With no one to protect him They didn't seem to care how it would one day affect him The abuse happened right away And it only got worse He was terrified and broken And it felt like a curse Nobody seemed to care At least it felt that way And for the rest of his life There'd be a price to pay They broke his spirit His body and his heart Not caring enough to see That they were tearing him apart He started acting out In the usual way Hurting himself By trying to make them pay They told him he was worthless What a thing to say They said it was his fault That he was born that way And he believed it Even though it wasn't true He was too young To be washed up and through Now he's empty and alone His heart has turned black There's nothing he can do To get his childhood back Got into drugs early And they consumed him fast Found a way to feel good And forget the past Got so loaded That he didn't have to feel Thought he won the war inside But the victory wasn't real Was sentenced to prison But that was OK He had no value To anyone anyway Somehow he did it And he managed to get clean Found he had a genetic disease Has to live on a machine He's a lot older now and his health is bad Has a kidney disease He got from his Dad What a tragedy it is To feel the end is near To not care about a life That was swallowed up by fear Now nothing feels right To him it all feels odd It feels like he's worthless Even to God
