A heart
Apart
o so evil
o so smart

The smear of a tear
Gone is the fear

If you pierce me
my skin will part

If you taunt me
my soul will bare

If you leave me
my heart will tear

some with an open heart
some with unbridled passion
some as a passing fashion

some want more
some need less
some just make a royal mess

some you win
some you lose
some you push away
some you can never seem to draw close enough

so much for need
so much for love
most of the time it's nice
and sometimes it's tough
but for some reason
once is never enough

I leave
I love
I make it tough
Has not the poor woman had enough

Am i the fool
Am i the tool
Am i too cruel

to my mind it's perfectly clear
why it's better not to have you here

I've made it here
I can make it back
but is there ever a turning back

behind that brilliant wit
behind that easy shrug
behind that o i don't know
it's all for the better
it's all for the show

where are you going to find it
where are you going to go

how will you ever be happy
if you've lost her heart
if you've lost your soul

know it's gone
know it's gone wrong
know a single word will set it right
don't even have to try with all your might

and so it was
that that was that
a bit of chit
a bit of chat
back together like old hat

take that lesson to your heart
without a bit of communication you will drift apart...

Are you my love
Are you my dear

Of my love you did not want to hear
Armed with your cold shoulder as a spear
Even as i whisper sweet nothings in your ear

I knew it then as I know it now
I could have just as wellhav professed my love to a plow!

(not done yet...)

My heart was sad
my face was glad

Stop yourself from getting mad
saying something bad
saying someone bad

If the mask should slip
I would surely get the whip
end up with a broken lip

Stop following your heart?
playing the part
being so smart
is it a part
is it an art
or is it the truth
the truth in your heart?

(work in progress)

(Our souls are under construction) or
(Our souls are under siege)

There is no bravery
There is no liege

There is a plan
There is a map
But a lot of it is utter crap

Some can see the vision
Some can grasp the mission
Some can only be convinced by collusion
Some only by conditions of sedition

Mind the business
Mind the people
Mind the selling
Mind the buying
But if you mind the cash flow you will know
that that's the only thing to mind when you grow

-- or --

Mind the business and the people
Mind the selling and the buying
Mind the ...
But if you mind the cash flow you will know
that that's the most important thing to mind when you grow
