I lay here pondering
the thoughts in my head.
Casting a disaster
or crazy instead.

I wish my life was a movie,
I'd cut the last scene.
Which dead actor would play?
Make it James Dean

I am a rebel,
without any cause.
Seeking fame and fortune
Did I lose it all?

Maybe, its a comedy,
as tragic as can be.
Make it John Belushi.
NO. Stung by the bee.

Was it a romance
or a bit of drama?
I died in your arms,
it brought back some karma.

My life's not a movie,
it's only a dream.
God wrote the wrong script,
CUT!!
THIS ONE ISN'T FOR ME!!

I am the wind that blows your hair
I am the sun up the summer sky
I am the water that flows in the spring
I am the brightest amongst the stars

Again I saw them grieve at the grave
A nice speech the eulogist gave
Oh dear friends, weep no more
For if anyone should ask
I am not there...
I did not die!!!

It's warm and cosy on the other side
I just can't wait for the time i'll die
To escape from this prison called life
Would I have to fight to survive?
The place i would be going to has no strife
No pain, no strain in the afterlife
Souls wandering in blissful unison
Making merry and dancing jolly under the sun

It's tiresome to stay here
Living life in the very grasp of fear
Faking smiles to hide your tears
It is better on the other side I swear
I don't know about heaven or hell
For theses are just stories we tell
But I know this much is true
When I go, i'll go with few
And love I pray, remains with you

How does it feel to fall out of love?
To wake up one morning, and say that you're done
Make up your mind, and tell me, it's fine
To fall out of love, 'cos you were never mine?

Love in itself can never be defined
It is a feeling that's blissful and divine
To love and be loved in return
I doubt, you'll ever see something as much fun

Don't you remember all you once said?
About our undying love and these feelings we shared
Do all these thoughts run in your head?
Or are they left blank, like my space on your bed

You woke up one morning, and said we were done
So I ask you, how did it feel, when you fell out of love?
Tell me a story.
Of olden times.
Tell me a tale.
With silver rhymes.

Tell me a story
With dragons and kings.
With vast hordes of treasure.
And castles and queen.

Tell me a story.
From long long ago.
Of knights and nobles.
Of where giants grow.

Tell me a story.
And I'll tell you one back.
Or better yet.
Make up your pack.

Let's make a story.
Come take my hand.
And we'll be a story.
As we travel the land.

I am a man of integrity
A being of values
A man of chances
A risk taker
A people's person
The weak's solicitor
A man of great morals
A said adonis
The emir of greatness
I am a good people
Rhythm of the redeemers
A daring entrepreneur
And after alls said and done
Despite all odds
I AM ME!!!

With a hopeful soul and a yearning heart
I asked if you wanted me
With a thought or maybe none
You told me what I needed to hear
With a broken soul, and a lonely heart
I asked if you'd love me back
And with a smile not sewn with candor
You told me sweet lies
I have loved and I have yearned
For your love to be mine till death
I've been fooled and cajoled
As your love was like a fool's gold
But never, never would I ask of a thing from you
For with a cunning smile and an in-depth deception
You would only tell me what you think I need to hear
But, I would've preferred just one bitter truth
To a thousand lies that spoke about a dead love
