If revenge is oh so sweet
Then why this bitter taste
Along the edge of my tongues tip
A tearful sadness to my gaze
Where I find it now hard to smile
Under this heavy weight
Sweet is sour in revenge
And the trouble that it makes

Fill it full
My cup of muse
My body grows tired
My heart confused

I'll raise a glass
To world peace
A couple more
For France And Greece

I'll raise a glass
For Human rights
A couple more
I'll be ready to fight

And now I'll write
From a brand new view
As I raise this glass
Of fermented muse...

I hold you tight up against my body
I take you with me even to the party

I rub you back and forth
Up and down from south to north

I love the way you sing hard and soft
I just can't keep my hands off

I pull you close
From coast to coast

You are beautifully sound
I will never pass you around

Magnificently perfect
You have all of my respect

You are my best friend
Till the end

All I’ve ever really wanted was a hand to hold.
There were times where I was reaching,
But everyone was too busy, too tired, too old.
Finally a lone hand sunk down into my sea
And I clutched it so tight
That I almost dragged it down with me.

In fear and panic
I let it go,
So I wouldn’t wreck its chances.
So here I still wait, regretting my choices
And making hopeful glances.
I'm searching for a hand,
But slowly my arm is weakening.
This is not what I had planned.

And that sad part is I know
If I again found a hand to hold,
I be too exhausted to hang on.

Dear Friend…
I don’t know where to start.
Memories come to mind
Of how you stole my heart.

You didn’t ask.
No question or please.
Just sauntered in and took it,
Apparently with ease.

I’ve tried to get it back so hard,
Fought you countless times,
And yet my heart is tied to yours
A foreign feeling, but sublime.

I don’t know why it had to be this way
To always feel alone,
Because my background and my habits
I’ve stayed secluded as I’ve grown.

Of all the lies I’ve told myself,
This is surely one,
I swore I’d never have a friend,
But now look what you’ve done.

Your soft smiles make me smile too
Never ceasing to have beauty.
And the way you protect me from my fears
As if it is your duty.

And when you are filled to the brim
With tears that spill and shine,
Even when days are looking grim,
Know that you’ll be fine.

Lucy to my Ethel,
Mountain to my dew,
So my dear partner in crime,
Know I’ll never leave you.

Never forsaken never forgotten
Never will your days be rotten,
For if I love you and  you love me,
We’ll fill up our lives with memories.

The good and bad,
The pleasure the pain,
Through brightest sun
And darkest rain,

My friend,
I’ll be there for you.
So please say that
You’ll never leave me, too.

Aimless people
Running through this city
Looking for a shelter
In someone's arms.
Desperate runners
Trying to escape from this maze
From those hideous, scared forms
They see in the mirrors at the stores.
Running from themselves
Escaping from reality
In an illusion of happiness
They always try to reach.
Navigating through the darkness
While they try to find
Any sigh of light.

My heart aches in sadness.
My soul screams in pain.
My head shouts in anger.
All my emotions, out of control.
All over a boy. A boy, a friend, a crush. The door was open, then she came. She stole him, closed the door, took my chance.
Tears rolling down my Face, washed away by the rain fall. As I lay there on the spread blanket, on top of the bed of grass. Thoughts of him flowing through my head. My body aching at the pain of the loss.
Sounds from behind me getting closer and closer. Footsteps, getting even closer. Suddenly as I look above me, looking down. His crystal blue eyes starring into me.
My heart stops aching, my soul goes silent in delight, my head goes calm.
Then I wake up.
The ache, the pain, the sadness, the sorrow, the anger..all back, and he is gone.
This is truly my living hell!

Who would've thought that in just one week,
Feelings like these could make me so weak,
You were only seventeen
The regret was truly mean
I would've screamed at the top of my lungs
Maybe I was too young
Even though I was 2 years older
I wish I was bolder

Now a year a past
Never thought it'd go that fast
Now we're hanging out again
And I welcome back the pain
As I look upon you
I see someone who
Makes me wanna fall to my knees
It was almost a disease

Now we're listening to our favourite band
If only I could hold your hand
Somewhere in between James bay and Tyler the creator
I look down at her and I could never hate her
Somewhere in between James bay and Tyler the creator
I look down at her and pray I could date her
Somewhere in between James bay and Tyler the creator
I look down at her and realize sooner or later
She'll forget about me
She'll be working on her degree
I'll be in the past
And I'll forever wish I would've asked
Things might seem hard to us at this moment.
We might be struggling at this here very minute.
We might be at our weakest , right now Friends.
We might be wishing that we had never existed.
But the one whom calm the storms is still here.
Still the one whom walk on water is still holding us.
Still he whom held the mouth of the lions open .
He is still here holding us up, calming the waves.
That roar deep within us at this very moment.
For he is the one whom destine kingdoms and kings.
Do not fear, for he is still walking with us right now.
For he is still able  to raise our Spirits up when we are down.
He is still the one in control, he is still the Savior God.
