My Life
Dan C Dec 2013
Sitting at work wonder how i got here in the first place
I thought i had prepared for this thought i had won the rat race
Put my hand in my pocket and realize Im broke
40hours of work for this what a joke

Bill collectors calling all the time
What do they think I have , Im living collecting dimes
I need this to turn around I need to succeed
Forget about it time to go pick up ****

Peace

WTF
Dan C Nov 2013
***
I stare out the window trying to make up my mind
The clock keeps ticking, nothing can stop father time
I know your coming thru that door ready to fight
******* I'm tired of trying to see who's wrong or right

I feel like a rat in a cage
It's so **** frustrating i am filled with rage
The church bells ring, the dark settles in
I walk to other room to look to see what's in the bin

You don't come home you don't pick up the phone
Did something happen or did you just decide to roam
I pick up the phone to see what is next
You interrupt my call with another boring text

The Band
Dan C Nov 2013
Getting ready for the show
Going to get rocked that i know
Seen them one or twice before
Like a drug i need more & more

The songs resemble my life
The music fills my soul
I sing along with them the best i can
They are the best rock n roll in this land

The show ends but not my buzz
Why do i love them well it's just because
They have lived my life have done the same
The only difference is they have the fame

On the road i go following them around
from City to city town to town
Since the beginning i got hooked
It ain't a fad, its a rock n roll text book

Peace

Like a Knife
Dan C Nov 2013
The moon pointed the way down that road
It lit up the desert landscape and showed all the paths
The end result i wish it showed
Save me mistakes from karmas raw wrath

This journey has been filled with the Ups & downs
But man id do it again on a second or third chance
Never been afraid of any fight for title crown
This misery of life is the true romance

Drugs, alcohol whatever it takes
It's not numbing is a way to lead a life
I'm so real this life ain't no fake
But come to close and itll cut u like a knife

Will Begin
Dan C Nov 2013
Clouds came like a stampede of bulls
Darkness would overcome and always rule
Pain & suffering became the norm
Cold & dreary instead of sunny & warm

No way out nowhere to run
The pain wont go cant find a gun
I hit the floor and bow my head
Please take me now make me dead

It doesnt happen i must endure
Life ain't for cowards thats for sure
I get up and breath in
Gotta start now i will begin

Night Out
Dan C Nov 2013
Got the radio blasting, got the favors in my hand
Meeting  the crew, jammin with the band
Crowd lined up around the block
Doesn't even matter cause we are gonna rock

Making plans to win, plans to sin
Eyes on a beauty, I'm getting right in
Gonna leave my mark make her squirm
Gonna blew her mind like she's smoking sherm

The sun cracks thru the darkest night
People take cover to avoid the light
Try to get to bed try to sleep
Breaking hearts ignore their weeps

Who knows
Dan C Nov 2013
What a joke, what a liar
You said one thing and delivered another
Then you go around spreading lies like a wildfire
You were throwing so many bombs i had to take cover

I thought i treated you fair
I knew who you were and never cared
But you move & shake so much what is real
You say one thing then lie & steal

Ya I'll wonder what you were trying to do
Ya I'll never say anything bad about you
But young one let me say this
Your actions seal you're fate worse than a kiss

Peace

Travelin
Dan C Nov 2013
The engine turned over purred like a cat
I headed out on the 10 towards the far west
I never knew that life was so free as that
I bid adieu i wish you the very best

I'm finally free I'm finally at peace
All the stress of life have past
I see the end of the rainbow within my reach
Trying to slow life down not so fast

The ocean breeze fills the air
The LA traffic slows me down
I light a cigarette it sure turns out fair
Always enjoy new people new Towns

Last Words
Dan C Nov 2013
The mailman delivered your final words
Divorce was imminent but always had a little hope
Our love had spoiled over the years like milk curd
But this time it was surreal and i knew i could cope

We had given it our all
We had traveled as fast as the universe wanted us to go
I truly didn't see it coming i didn't see the fall
I wish you the great luck continuing the ride on your own

Bombed
Dan C Nov 2013
Man you left destruction in your wake
Taking people for granted owing them cash
Man I'm starting to wonder if it was all fake
I mean you do make money with your ***

You wanted to be safe
You wanted a peaceful home
Your exit was so abrupt and brash
You still got my friggin cell phone

Man I'm trying to stay legit
But these things you did are making it hard
I've had enough i quit
Hope you stay away and far

Peace

The Run
Dan C Nov 2013
Went on a run
*** drugs & rock n roll
Man i had some fun
But now I'm out in the cold

I tried to do things right
Tried too make things matter
But like a vampire i thrive on the night
And mixes up my life like thick pancake batter

Il get this game right one day
But in the meantime ill take my lumps
Cut me up another line, grab me a pill grab me a ****
And ill wash it down with a *** &a; coke
Thus life had no meaning no more
I'm going to make it back one day to that AA door

Drama
Dan C Nov 2013
The end showed it's ugly face
I need to move on to stay sane
It was never about the race
But i can't take the thoughts in my brain

The end its never fun
Someone always gets burned
I truly tried not to run
But **** got so heavy
It seemed that we took a wrong turn

The drama of life took another chance
But hey no risk no reward
Maybe in the next life we will have that dance
But in this one I've gotten bored

Front Door
Dan C Nov 2013
When.your feeling down and blue walking up those stairs
Look up at that tree and realize theres love thru the front door
The coldness of the world can't bring me down
I've come across pain in this life before
Grateful for my loved ones that turned me around
The only true place in this life that I'm safe and sound
Elegant wind rustling the leaves
Reminds me that the front door is where i can be free

Your Eyes
Dan C Nov 2013
Your eyes always seem to look direct to my soul
No lies can i tell you without a childish smile
Your warmth.& compassion keep me warm in the cold
Havent had this Serenity in a long while

Your eyes tell me stories how your life has unfolded
Your eyes show me love and pain all in the same moment
When our time is over and done
I will realize that you were the true only one

Thank you for the joy thank you for the love
Your eyes have brought me peace
You are the blessings from heavens above
My love for you will never cease

You
Dan C Nov 2013
You
You walk around this place with such class
But in reality its was all a hoax
You treated the ones that cared like an ***
But still you liked to jab & poke

You had so.much more to.offer
You had so.much to.give
But for some reason this is how u wanted to live

So stay sassy loose and chill
But get lost im numb to you like poppin a pill

Fare Thee Well
Dan C Nov 2013
Knew our time together was coming to an end
Simple things started becoming a chore
Its easy to say that ya we would always be friends
But ive heard those false promises before

Though our time spent was some of the
best ever
It seemed truly never to get outta 2nd gear
And the friend i am is not fair weather
I dont need to be living in constant fear

So i bid you fare thee well
I will remember this short interlude
Rather split now than go thru another hell
No disrespect not tryin to be rude...

Good bye Dad
Dan C Oct 2013
I hadn't spoken to you in awhile
Life just kept going faster & faster
I always thought we would make amends
But time cheated us in the end

We both didn't know it would end up like this
Sure we had our differences but we were father & son
But both so stubborn in the end who really won
Godspeed Dad my only father
I wish now i would have bothered

The Journey
Dan C Oct 2013
The heart unwinds like silk & rose
The fears i feel are oh so very real
A place in my heart that constantly grows
This is the journey that my heart has chose

A destination in my mind that nobody knows
From gravel to grass, i admire all the beauty that i pass.
Save me little rose, i want this moment to last.
But knowing if i don't stop to gander, it's moving oh so fast.
To a place in my heart that constantly grows, a destination that nobody knows.

A destination that nobody knows.
