There stands an important man,
Made immortal by the bronze and gold that laces his structure.
Firm, aged and full of intellect,
He stands pointing toward the western sun.
Tie worn tight as his suit lays motionless in the wind.
Crass, hopeful, he is not without scandal,
A man who lives with his past open for all interpretation.
Those who stroll past look up,
Thoughts lingering on his works.
Eternal, when all else crumbles to
Dust and scatters the raging sea,
He will stand steady, pointing, outlasting
All he should be remembered for.
Here's my story--it's sad, but true:
I've got nothing on my mind.
The sky isn't blue and the ocean's not grand.
I thought I'd be a hero.
If you've ever wondered why, Disney tales all end in lies.

I've been spending money like a king, but I'm not a king.
There's a darkness upon me that's flooded in light.
I've got these habits that I cannot break.
Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?

I think that, possibly, maybe, I'm falling for you.
I don't know, but I think maybe.
I'm going to be a mighty king.
When the night has come,
I'm not surprised--not everything lasts.

All the ghosts of the grandmothers have been haunting me in my living room.
Did you see the sky?
You say hello, and I say hello back.
You may tire of me.

In the light of the sun,
I never loved nobody fully.
Where have all the good men gone?
After all is said and done, I feel the same.
You know, this may turn into the longest day of my life.

Once upon a time, not so long ago,
Three little birds sat on my window.
"Hey, ain't life wonderful?"
When I see you, I really see you upside down.
Today, I'm going to write a sad song.

Follow me and everything is all right.
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay.
I hold on so nervously.
I want to ask you, do you ever sit and wonder,
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you'e near?
I sense there's something in the wind that feels like tragedy's at hand.
It's pretty odd, I know. What I did was put my iPod on shuffle to write this. Each line is the first line of each song that came on. There are more to come.
I wish I had someone to make crepes for
Who'll eat them when they're cold
And borrow the hands that make them
learning what they're never told
To care for when they fail
And laugh at when they're old
Across the sky we'll sail
Hear time tick
as the world grows ever sold
Infinity in a flat cake
How?
Just how?
Did you know,
past my smiles and reassurance,
through my antics and all,
that underneath, behind my eyes, that I was in pain,
I was taking a fall.

How did you know?

You saw right through me,
like no one else could,
you sent me words of reassurance,
like no one else would.

So how did you know?

I hid it so well, no one else could catch on,
yet there you were,
to catch me,
before I was long and gone.

How did you know?

It's unnatural,
uncanny,
nearing impossible!
How you do what you do,
but I'm glad you did,
I'm really, really glad, that you knew.

But did you know?

You're my secret confessor,
though neither of us know it yet.
Because now with you,
I know my heart is set.

I can show you the things,
that only I hide below,
because it seems I just can't hide it,
because you always seem to know.

I Love... You.

But you'll never know.
To her, who always seems to see me right through.
To her, that always makes me feel unsure, of what...exactly to do.
Break off from the pack,
Away from those who’ll seek to hold you back.
Put it all on the line
A life lived without risks
is not a life of mine.

Sever the ties.
Forget your past.
All the times you tried
but you failed so hard.
Give it all you got,
that’s why you have a heart.

Don’t run with the wolves.
Just be your own man.
Just do better as best you can.
You’ll live, you’ll breathe, you’ll die, you’re ******.
Your sand is running out.
Your ******* time is up.

We’re wasting the only chance that we will ever get.
When death comes, he’ll find me living a life of no regrets.
Some lyrics for a song that I never put to music. Freestyled this one as well so pardon the language. I don't like going back and changing my freestyles.
Have you ever let your veins run dry,
Just so the other can drink?
Have you ever let some one in,
To the point that you can't breath?

The world can't get you now.
The world can't have you now.
You gave yourself,
To an unworldly creature.

With out her,
There is no real me.
Without her love I can't
Ever be truly happy.

I will give up all that I am,
To try and make her happy.
I will give my heart and soul,
To have an eternity.

We both are a little crazy,
But it's over each other.
We are both a little out of touch,
With the rest of the world.

I wouldn't take this another way,
Wouldn't ever give away,
What I found in her,
I will always be here to stay.

My love, my one,
My eternity.
While you waited for the future you forgot about today
And the sand kept on pouring.
And time slipped away.
So close that I can feel it.
I have believed you now more than ever.
You are more dedicated.
I know you're mine.

I want this.
I want to dedicate.
I want to come home and be safe.
I want this pretty woman,
To be my forever.
I have felt all the pain,
And you show me you know.
You beg me to hold on for
Another breath.

So I will.

Because what she said is right.
This other woman, she knows.
When she looked us in the eye and said
"You have what it takes, you have the support.
It will be a battle at first, but your love will hold.
You have the connection, you have the strength."
Finish your business, and come home to me.
