and then I asked you,
"What's your biggest fear?"

you gave me a quivering sigh,
looked at me straight in the eyes
and said,

"It's that eventually, you will see me
the way I see myself."

I've always had a secret crush on death
Always wondered what it would be like to meet her
I know that I will meet her someday
But since I'm married to life....
....my loyalty lies with her..
...so I'm gonna hold on to her till death do us part.
Life and I...We've had our moments...
We've fought...then made up.. And then fought again..
But on the whole I've cherished every single moment I've spent with her
She has taught me so much
She has shown me so many different facets of the world
She's been a great source of inspiration
I cannot be thankful enough to her for all her love and guidance
There were moments when I thought I'd lose her..
But she fought and stuck with me all thru the sufferings and the pain
I love u dear life.. I truly do
And I promise you whatever time we have left with each other...I'll give you the very best of me

These country songs aren't enough
Neither are these hopeless drags of the cigarette
All these dreams of impassioned meaningless ***
Ribboned with the beauty of desire
With none of the fragility

These TV shows aren't enough
To distract from the ******* sinkhole
Of divisionary politics
And the hit and miss attempt
At barely living

These neon lights aren't enough
To guide me anywhere
But they are all I see in the dark
All these shadows to explore
In the absence of light feeling

These promises aren't enough
To keep me anchored in the world
I don't want to be anything
I don't want to get paid
I don't want to save up

Or settle down
These offerings aren't enough
To keep me keeping on
They are the sign-posts, the sirens
That speak only of scarcity

Who only settle their hunger
When I am lost.

you type me in stereo
of how i should be
how i should sound
to whom i should speak
where i should live
in or outskirts of town
what circles to mix
who to hang around

are we not unique
in our own special way
why then look at me
when i say what i say

yet you think i should walk
the same steps as you
learn how to talk
just like you do
eat at the same table
be a part of the crowd
wear the same labels
as you're wearing now

i'm my own person
not out on a loan
can't think of much worse than
typing me in stereo

The backbone of America is broken
But that doesn't keep her from finger pointing
In her judgment and her blaming
And all her self-righteous shaming

America once stood strong and tall
Clearly hands above them all
Too much pride can lead to shame
Tossing humbleness in the grave

America is walking with a limp
Tripping on the dark secrets she has kept
But all secrets eventually come to light
Have we all signed on Satan's dotted line

Has America lost her sight
Now that we find her justice blind
Finders keep and losers weep
Have we lost all humanity

America needs her mouth washed out with soap
From the words that she lets go
With much to do about nothing
She really thinks she's on to something

Can America get back on her feet
I believe that's up to you and me
Put a love brace on all that's broken
And stop with all the finger-pointing
