Someone always suffers
if the deal's not fair and square
and one by one they'll have you on
and take more than their share.

There's a constant state of aggravate
which is somewhere off the coast
and I'm bound by life to be there
in the place, I hate the most.
Always be willing to try
Just give it an effort
You just may surprise yourself
Be courageous, be valiant
Do not hide in those dark shadows
Move towards the light
Enrich yourself a great deal
Invigorate yourself and be bright
Waken up again
from a nightmare of sin
can’t shake these feelings that you bring
or the evil song you sing
trying so hard to heal
but I’m wrapped up in the Devil’s deal

Sleeping so peacefully
with happy dreams I do believe
every breath is calm and pure
dreaming of happiness I’m sure
you’ve already paid your dues
now your dreams are peaceful and true

"STAINS"

Years of washing,
yet the stains won't fade;
       Washboard worn,
  My fingers,
        Bleed.
A cleansing of my soul,
  is maybe what I need.

     Bits of metal,
  chips of wood;
years of washing,
    yet still,
   misunderstood...

  Years of washing,
   Yet the Stains won't fade;
       Alone, unclean;
Feeling betrayed...

     Years of washing,
    the Stains,
      won't fade;
Ready for the reaper,
    Suit, Tie,
          Decay...

He was 'hungry'
So I fed him
Everything.
My time
My emotions
My fears and dreams
My heart.
Me.
Now my plate is empty
And he leaves
Check paid
No tip.
