It's been a long time
The words still rhyme
Sometimes I change
Being a little strange
I have myself to blame
But the World is still the same

There are still wars being fought
Where peace should be taught
Still racism that is never right
All equal be us native Indian, black or white
Still children the victim of pain
Facing abuse time and time again

Still this world is left screaming
We ignore it and just go on dreaming
Once the air was pure and clean
Now polluted from man and machine
New problems we give Earth each day
We are throwing our future away

The people slept, dreaming
Silently the World was screaming
The Universe was reaching out
No one heard the silent shout
Even dark forces could not pretend
That things were coming to an end

And twenty billion souls came awake
As they witnessed the Universe break
They could hear a distant rumble
As suddenly Galaxies would crumble
The end would take all, everywhere
The end was coming for everyone there

Beings gathered together from every World
The end came, they were ready and curled
Holding each other, all were a different kind
Stars ended and there was nothing to find
Poets cried and found the words to write
And the end came with a blinding light

A young girl out late one night
Walking home by the street light
She got snatched by three men
Dragged into an alley, taken again and again

Over and over they abused her
Over and over they used her
They just left her laying there
Left her naked, but they did not care

Now she is a little older
And her heart has grown colder
She is now involved with only thugs
She sells her body for drugs

Anything that you want to do
She will do it all for you
If the money is right, she don't mind
With her body she pays in kind

The news said a girl was found dead
Someone smashed a brick on her head
At her funeral nobody came
She was just a ******* the game

Took a walk on the other side

The other side of sanity

Found that my problems collide

Taking away my vanity



Love just hits you hard

It comes and knocks you down

Love just drives you mad

In your sorrows you drown



Crazy thoughts and you can't smile

It just drives you all insane

Your mind just falls out of style

There is no way to try to explain



You want to love someone so much

You wonder if they really see you there

Your head just seems out of touch

All you want is a heart you can share



So you sit in the Asylum of your mind

Locked away form the realms of reality

No one knows what you will find

No one knows what you will see

The battle was won

It was over and done

The victory is you

But I never knew



The tears were wept

Darkness came and crept

It dragged life through

But I never knew



No emotion in your eyes

Always showing hidden lies

It was always all just untrue

But I never knew



All could see the hurt shows

Did you know everybody knows?

It never came and hit me out of the blue

But I never knew



Tell me, was it worth going through?

Because I was the one who never knew

Well, what do you think about that?

Some people no longer want to believe,

In those miracles you're supposed to do.

They no longer want to see them,

So they stopped believing in you.

Now, what do you think about that?



Well, what do think about that?

Some people are no longer praying,

They've given up talking it through.

They no longer think you are there,

And no longer feel like talking to you.

Now, what do you think about that?



Well, what do you think about that?

Rarely does anyone ever go to church,

They no longer think that it is true.

No one thinks that you are out there,

Because no one can ever see you.

Now, what do you think about that?



Well, what do you think about that?

I thought I could rely on you being there,

I thought believing in you was an issue.

But where were you when I needed you the most?

That time when I really need you.

Now, what do you think about that?
