I told myself I'll change for you No more smoke, No more honey But I ask if you In my folly A Christ girl like you Make me jolly Come on baby, Just one night All I ask Is that you lay on me But I know that's foolish You're too good for me So I beg, beg I do That you do this: One finger on me And you'll set me free It'll be a new kind of high Set my world on fire I'll stop, I promise I'll stop, I swear That today I'll stop No more drinks No more smoke Is what you ask That's not hard Because it's you Yes you, I'll hold on And yeah, I did use yesterday But it starts now Because I'm trying, I'm really trying To change my ways And set myself for you bae Ok...maybe just one more Please, baby let me have one more All I ask is that I get Is one more high Besides, I pleaded That you touch me But no, you just want me To have misery So please, yes please Let me set free Because only my devices Give me life I said you're my wife But you ran away What a spite You said, and I recall clearly "Change your ways Put it down Stop punishing me For your sins. Because I grieve, I grieve that you'll be him The man God promised me Because I don't recognize you." Come on baby, Just one finger Is all I need To be set free Just give me, yes give me What I need, because I need you, and you only To give me wings

New Addiction
I almost told a girl "I think you're pretty." But then I burnt my tongue Since when did I cower Oh pity! Yes, I said it Well didn't say it But she's got A radiant smile And eyes that glow I can't tire from her laugh It gives me strength I'm entangled in a thousand No a million thoughts When I see her But my friend is closer Too close I say She might be taken I thought, I swore out loud I never stood a chance But it's kinda dumb She's still my friend We love each other But I still dream That she becomes my lover Oh Misery! Have pity! Why can't someone like her Kiss me on the lips and say "You're mine."?

Fool's Ballad
I look at you And say, "Not anymore" **** it! You lied and stole My kindness And whatever We were I'm tired of you You bring me misery Besides, you need Not my pity Besides, if I left you You wouldn't bat an eye Because others Love you too So why care anymore? You'll go off to your tower And shower your love To all that care But me, me! I wouldn't care Your love to me Died yesterday There was once a time I thought we only part When the bomb dropped And the world caved in But now! Now! I don't even hate I just dislike you **** I only liked you Anyways, my misery I'll try to show pity But don't expect Love from me Why care anyway? You'll go off to your glass castle And shower your grace To all that love you But me, me! I wouldn't care Your love to me Died yesterday You have friends, You have love, So you definitely Don't need me anyways So you My misery My misery Let me breath **** Why care?! Why care anyway? Don't you See that you hurt me You'll go off to your capital Of your golden empire Shower your love To all that adore you But me, me! I wouldn't care Your love for me Died yesterday And I know, You'll be fine So in my love for you I can not try

Death of Love
God, I got nothing to do But let me get one ***** Just one would do Do do do do Ohh, I'm nothing But that's fine Cause baby I've got nothing to do I'm just a loner Playing videogames Reading boring manga All day and night I got a big room Just waiting for a crew And maybe a babe Yeah, I'm a fool Ohh, I've got nothing But really man What can I Really do? I'm always in my room Doing what healthy boys do I use myself Since I can't use you It's honestly boring It's really sad That I got a lot But no one cares I can do a lot Let me prove myself But you won't care That's only for you and yourself Oh, I need nothing Because, man I used to having A little or none Da de da de da dum La da da de da dum La la da le da dum Hum dum dum dum Hum... I've got nothing But my manga, my movies Zines and games (But maybe I need a babe)

I've Got Everything
As the guns go blazin' And bombs keep fallin' I wonder what life was 80 years ago What time it was Oh...they hated my black skin But at least my masters Fought for freedom, Peace and love (How charming) They go about In their armored beasts And instruments of pain Reigning destruction on The human race But now I wonder What will we do? This oh so wonderful Sweet-lovin' Generation of mine We dare not think Of the death of our fellow man But we crowd ourselves And beckon forth To fan the flames Of war, and death and destruction The pigs in their ivory towers called And still call upon generations To sacrifice, to die For the country we so love But I wonder, I truly wonder When it really matters Who will bear the cost Of our death and misdeeds? Oh, women shall cry And men of iron shed a tear Daughters too For there goes our sons, our brothers And lovers To death they now knew And I wonder what they'll do When I join them very soon What can I do? I'm just a tool , yes a tool A government mule And yet I raise my banner And I march on, I really do AK in one hand, a machete in the other On the beach, in the air, in the city In the jungle, the snow and sands At the highest peaks And lowest valleys In tundra and in heat I say truly to my country, "It's an honor to die for you."

'45 '25
I remember that night It was full of light People laughed And I smiled You walk to me A shining smile Ear to ear A face of tall tales You took my hand I looked into your eyes I was drawn But then I realized Your charm, your grace I was almost entranced But I knew clearly This wasn't right You're too old I'm too young But you tried To force down your tongue I cried, Yes I cried, You leave me, "You're not mine" You were too strong I was too weak You dragged me By my pant's seams We were in bed Your fingers on me But oh Lord I make my plea She forced me She told me No one would care No one would try Besides, I'm a guy She's a gal If we were tried They'll say: "Why didn't you try? She's just a woman, You're a fool, A disgrace" I'm not her man I'm not a man Just some boy With a broken wing She was my Lord She was the Queen Me? Well... Just a pleb So it didn't even matter Cause why not? She's reclaiming the power Her people lost January 5th, I walk to my room Breathing in the cold air For it will be my last A rope around my neck Tears in my eyes I told the truth, But they said it was a lie Now I call Death, Oh beloved Death To take me As her lover The pain was too much The insults too many I'm a man They say in envy I shall never fly I shall never soar She clipped my wings My lust, my soul I breathe my final breath Lord forgive me, But after her I know hell

Lovesong
His men still, All at arms, Young of age Not readied for all harm. "Fire the artillery, Send for the Calvary, Get them there, Hold the line! Die not for yourself, A simple trade: Life for eternal glory, No soul is wasted, In these fields of death" He watches, he waits He thinks, he stumbles All in vain As his plans fall the drain "What now?" they say, All is lost, none stand, Great autumn orchids Stained red With youthful pride and vigor, Gone for a pointless dream. Guiding hand To earnest and certain doom, He sits on a throne of corpses, Wasted genius, wasted effort, All for naught, all far gone. Tactician, intellectual, Butcher, fool Hero, Angel, Villain, Devil, A man of no equal, A man of all folly, A leader and a killer, A man , in his hands The hopes of nations And empires, A man with no where to go, "There's nothing we can do.", He says at last, "Here's my Waterloo ; all is lost.". As he stands in surrender, Both flawless general And flawed man.

The General
I got a new suit A new Rolex A new Dodge For you A bouquet glowing bright I had as well a ring It seemed like gold It was so bright But it couldn't compare To your light I was ready To show you a new life Make you my wife I said to myself "I'm gonna make it right." But then I saw, That's when I knew I missed, how sad I couldn't have you I didn't even put up a fight But whatever I guess Besides, I said after, "I'll have a coke, Cause I'm alone tonight." At the bar, Music rang With sailors in hand And then I realized I had no life I am alone I am forgotten But that's alright.

If Only
He's just a wallflower Wilting by the hour Has no life And is always sour He's hooked He's turned Can't stop himself From enjoying it more That 'it' ? He is ashamed Ashamed to talk Ashamed to say Degrade himself Damage himself Yet he seeks love He craves feeling She is not a person She is an idea She is perfection She is an escape She is his dream The love he wants The affection he seeks A companion he can adore He spends nights Looking into nothing But her light Her glowing light He looks at her As God And him devil The shadow to her light The joy he could have That he chased her Sought her But no avail He tried, tried Traversing through Halls and classrooms Cafeterias and stories Lovers lane? Walks not there Student Center? Far from him It doesn't matter Who she is She's his fix His salvation She's the reason His temptation The purpose of life And her gone means death Oh...oh why? Why won't there be The one I call she? One for me He finally tries, But she's not his She's everyone's And no one's Lover to me Lover to you All have enjoyed her One way or two And thus, He resides in his fate He will never meet Girl Before it's too late

Boy Meets Girl
Bright, yet far— Shining light I hold dear, A sacred soul. A guardian ember, Luminous as it is— A heavenly beauty Yet to be seen. In darkness, I call: Canopus, Moon, and Sirius— Only they I adore, Only them do I long for. A path I trek Only I can see. The stars shine To guide me. A lantern, this lantern— Only it compares To the starry night That I yearn for. That heaven embraces earth, That light shines Even when darkness lurks. For that, I seek To call peace.
