Without asking for more than the simple sweet simplicitys,
I am bounded by the same laws and rules for life.
No use in explaining the values of eccentricities,
We are all tools for the media, for what they strive.
A product of the temptation for power over others, we will stay
The same forever, entrapped in ice with our sisters and brothers,
The silly dreams we have, our pursuits. A tiny bit of concern to the
Rich-who live to find the right eyeliner, lip gloss-or the best set of
Nine Irons for golfing or business suits. Some day they will
Get what they deserve, some day...some day.
But too bad for me, some day came a little too late...

I've got everything figured out,
Now it dawns on me that all this time
I was being used! And I know that I
Was abused, but then all of a sudden
I feel IT...you know. That "feeling,"
That paranoid feeling that says "yea, and
You but you did this and that and the other
Thing,
(I know what you did last
Summer) suuuuure. And so I sit
There re-ensuring all I had my
Needs, couldn't-no-wouldn't let
Myself be until I finally did "IT."
And then I realize I was right,
That I'm just being spooked by
People here who are trying to
Brainwash me at night,
Then it begins again, I knew it!
I was right, I was abused!
But then I feel IT again...

Ain't no way to hide those lyin' eyes...GOD I hate that song.

If I ever see you again
It can never be to soon,
You must find me here
Beneath the ivory moon
Where my love lies every year.

It's just how much it hurt
When you said goodbye,
Seeking an answer above
I'll wish a rainbow in the sky,
Just sing me a lullabye tonight,

Sparkling stars shall offer you light,
For this one last night, for life,
And in the grassy meadows
Will you come and seek me out?
When stormy weather clears,
Shall there be soft white clouds?

In the end all you will find
Is a golden flower with your name,
In my youth I was blind of fears,
But now I'm calling as in vain,
Be it one day? A thousand years?

I just can't handle all of this pain,
I will be here for my whole lifetime
Until I'm in your arms some day.
It's better to have lost my sight
Than to miss loving you for life,
I dream of your love every night,

Love forever,
Even for 1,000 years in a day.

I know we've had our share of troubles,
And you're always quick to criticize,
How I've failed you every step and turn,
I guess you saw a way to use this guy.

So then I get to stay as long as I shut up,
Do as I am told, keep all of my emotions in,
Fill your life with garbage and waste your time again,
Until the day you find a better replacement,
Only a matter of when.

Therefor I came up with a way, the only way to win,
Simple, you just take off, find the furthest place to go,
Leave as much space between you and me and
Never take free time out to speak to you again,
Only a matter of when.

My favorite things in life
Are quite simple to explain,
I'll never buy into the knife
And not into causing pain,
But that isn't popular
So I will have few friends,
Everyone is going to war,
Though bittersweet it's ends,
I guess it makes sense
The threats will end someday,
We'll just make life "Safer"
By blowing them all away.

Or whatever "solutions" still seem to work today...

A broken rainbow
Traveling light reflected
Within a smooth stone

Loneliness...

Before supper I have to go and end it,
He's tall with brown eyes and curly hair,
Halfway through the day you stare at me
A solemn silence in the thick cold air,
He's got olive tan skin, below the lips a scar,
Just at the chin sharp as one who's fallen,
Somewhere below sub-par, not too far,
He's a born fool, I made myself the victim,
At best he must just be a beady eyed guy,
Now he just stares up at the colorful sky,
Things could have been groovy but why,
Why oh why do *I have too much time?

He always wants to have more,
I live for you, he's born to wine,
Time for parting so close the door.

...and I've got to end it, although I've lived alone,
He's the only person I've really ever known,
The only one here in this blank walled room,
If I have to I will make sure it's done soon,
The time has come to bid them adieu,

I've known him all of my life until this afternoon...
