Tis now I know
Tis now I can tell
Thinking all in life will glow
Everyday we gnawed in pain
Worry Not She Would Return

Tell Momma life been hard
If ever there was a ray of sunshine
Momma left,
In the land she bore me into
Her Return Unknown

Oloruku, the days of solitude,
the pregnant sky had to give
Each day repeating itself to torment
Sunday, the day not to forget
She Would Return You Said, To The Tent

The child is now a man
Without you there's profusion of sorrow
Though I write, momma i don't know
that which took you away, no return momma
Remember, Remember You Were Once Human.
No matter how Long.. They're still with us.. Rest in Peace Ma...

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
A woman's heart I took out
my emotions in chains again
everything done, no gain coming
Alack! In me a clean tout
Bless me Father under the rain

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
A tabularasa is all that I need
my soul, Israfael takes to his master
a leviathan in disguise, I know
my heart like a tide goes yonder
Bless me Father when it starts to snow

Forgive me Father, For I have sinned
The monumental choristers are ready
when I asceed the rafter, Father
please let me through heavens gate steady
I hope I did well on your errand
Oruku's first son morbidly ascends

Why do we go to church?
To show our devotion
Or a dress-up to match the chapel?
To listen to what the preacher says
Or to sit next to a regular crush?
To go with one mind of worshipping
Or to make people worship your wears?
I ask Again
Why do we go to church?
To exalt the rich
Or to pray for sinners?
To oppress with chunks for donation
Or to give the last of ones own?
Why do we go to church??

Don't ask me cause i wanted more
Am a king In my own dwelling
I tried calling to the platform
She never came
Money makes the rule
I got the act I know
I want to do it no one knows
They don't understand
So I say to you give me
A platform to prove myself
Prestidigitation, when the time comes
But it never went
the time is now
Talented is my own Neptune
In the house of praise
my name will make the hall of fame
As the sun and stars dewlls
Before the fat lady sings

I cooked a meal for two
Like how I usually do
I set up the table and chairs
I cleaned up the kitchenwares
I laid the table cloth and plates
Everything exactly like our first date
The forks, spoons and knives are set
But unlike before, there's a bit of regret
The dinner for two is now a meal for one
I just can't get used to you being gone

For all those who have lost their way
Those doubting whether they should stay
Wondering where they belong
Those who can no longer grow strong
Roaming about and waning
Wandering around and unfeeling
Those full of fear and pain
Those whose hearts are full of rain
What should be done first
Is to quench their thirst
The thirst for Christ
And for their hunger to be sufficed
The hunger for faith
They crave for

Sitting trianglally
Like a pool stick
Was my location
Seeing her hurt make me hurt !
Week she seem from my vantage
Lost I told myself !
Go to her
Why should I ?
She looks to serious
What do I say?


Take my hands
And I will give you the moon:
Cause even a shooting star Can't grant this
Wait it was written somewhere
To be self confidence,
Is to do what you are afraid of
What dose that even mean?

i want more
so much more
of what you cannot offer
nor want to
i want to stay
you make me feel
this calm secure
the tiny pauses
between your breaths
makes me lay here and wonder
if you woke up
and i was dead in bed
would it make any difference?
you can throw my body
into a closet
and go into the kitchen
and make a cup of coffee
for one, not two
i always made you give more
than you wanted to

Futility of Futilities
useless toils all ends
Fruitless gathering
Filling up water in a basket
.
.
Soldier go
another comes again
the barrack remains still
.
.
Won't the sea be filled up
despite the constant running of
the river into it
.
.
Eyes not yet satisfied
causing the hand
Into hard labour
.
.
What had been
will always be
So nothing comes
new under heaven
.
.
Quest for popularity
Power
Prestige
All ends a grasping
for the wind
.
.
Peculiar treasures of
royal hands are
consumed and turned
under earth
.
.
Effortless chase
Vain panting
after searching all seems
taking off the creator's hand

i said tonight
that i'm going to be dead
you said,
go ahead
i asked,
don't you care?
the stifling silence
on the other end of the line
was enough of an answer
of you and my life

i said tonight
good night
i love you
i'm going to be dead
the line clicked dead
and let go of the rope i did
swinging, my feet
i wish you were here
to grab them
and pull me back
i thought this as i

no more oxygen

*go ahead
have you ever had the person you loved the most tell you to go **** yourself?
