I write for myself and all the lost souls.
The deep pain in your eyes that you harbor Anchored by the shackles of your own past You keep it inside, never saying more For you hoped this feeling would never last But thirty years later nothing has changed You are still drinking beer to keep afloat And in those bars you wonder to no end Like a sailor lost in his drifting boat You do not know how to untie the ropes That would definitely help set you free So you ignore the leaking mess that drops Each time the wind blows and angers your sea One day you will reach shore and realize That what you let drown truly mattered most That so close you came to your own demise And you will get why you came back to coast

The Life of a Sailor
It’s a longing that runs deep It’s a fire that lights it It’s a blaze that you seek It’s a desire that falls neat It’s a blush that you heat It’s a lust that you whip It’s a whisper that feels cheap It’s a lump that you dip It’s a tear that you lick It’s a feeling that leaves quick It’s a Lover who felt sick

It’s a Lover
I long for a love that knows no bound I long for a love yet to be found I long for days spent in a daze I long for days that set me ablaze I long for your touch, so reverent I long for your touch, so dependent I long for a love that you could give I long for a love that could never live I long for the day you finally see that we were wrongly meant to be

I long for a Love
Sometimes I feel I don’t belong And wonder, is it me who’s wrong Should I lie in order to change Or would I rather seek revenge Fight for my life and my true side That’s been hiding so deep inside Or just decide it’s not worth it That maybe right, was the culprit What is the path I should follow For what to choose, I do not know Hero or foe, what will I gain For in the end, one shall remain

Belong
I wish things had gone differently That I’d no longer feel lonely But that ringing in my ear Oh is it killing me my dear And why is the silence so loud As sharp as noise heard in a crowd Here staring blankly at the wall I wonder, why can’t I be whole The answers I have no yet found To these questions stuck in my mind Or maybe it’s that I am blind And to all ‘ them I’ll remain bound

Bound, am I
Maybe I was too much Maybe I wasn't enough How could I know? My mind’s running wild Please, will you shut it down My tears are streaming down I wish I could see your smile My lover, my friend So many holes that cannot mend Had we known how it would be Had we known it wasn't me All those memories They can tell so many stories I wish I could share them with you You'd realize how much it’s true Maybe I was too much Maybe I wasn't enough How could I know?

How could I know?
I don’t know what love is I don’t know how it feels I don’t know the secret I don’t know, is it kept I wanna learn I wanna earn I wanna shout I wanna doubt Will it ever be found This love waiting for me Will it ever be found This feeling deep inside me Or am I just destined to be... ... lonely.

Love
Tonight I have a heavy Heart They shoved me in the dirt Tears rolling down slowly Why can’t I just be Tonight I have a heavy Heart Cannot control the hurt Feelings are crushing me Why can’t I just be Tonight I have a heavy Heart I wonder, will it stop Ô my, heavy Heart
