We always feel entitled in life
That the world revolves around us
To have everything with no strife
The world bends to us, it must

Except that is not our right
We deserve is what we earn
After we work and we fight
This is what some don't learn

They think life is their's to bend
That they deserve strength and pride
But without work it will be their end
Fueled only by entitlement, they died

Our only God given privilege
Is the right to be happy
To pursue that ambiguous image
All else is earned ultimately

The good life is ours to pursue
No one allowed to stand in our way
Earning our keep is hard, it's true
But our right to life will never go away

I will find my burning ember; my matching flame. And we will dance a song our souls will only understand.

Now you'd say
Now you'd do
I'm insane?
I've been saying
I've been seeing
Dramas in every life
Look how they turn the pages
Switching money as a weapon
Trying to catch up with minds
Believing eternal joy in heaven

Man I cant
Man I ban
Praise yourself in your own land
No one will ever trust your hand
Wipe the dirt flowing off your ears
Straight from your brain, it's worse
Fools aren't good listeners. Everything you say will be heard from one ear and drawn out through the other.

you deserve flowers on the pillows
and kisses in the morning

you deserve cold noses
drinking hot chocolate in the snow

you deserve to be sheltered in the rain
with the world’s last umbrella
and never left to forget, just how truly loved you are.

Never thought this would be like this
These days only repeat
Like the waves of the ocean
Tired of all the glaring stares
That dare reflect my inner hate
And outer pain

(Chorus)
I can't get away
Even if I run away
What's chasing me
Can't be seen
Truth has been tossed away
Not meant to stay
But there are no means of escape
Because it is what I earn and deserve

Disagree silently
You killed my proof
Does it even make a difference to try?
This secret I kept locked away for so long
I should have never let you in
Too exposed to hold any protection

(Chorus)

Let the flame go...
(I can't get away)
Let the flame go...
(Never thought it would be this way)
Let the flame go...
(Even if I run away)
Let the flame go...
(I am not meant to stay)

Let the flame go out.

"You are so cute and deserve the best!"**

But I just sensed her own strong interest.
When I proposed her after she grew up,
She felt she was not at par with the rest.

I offered to show the world differently,
I wrote many songs and epics for her,
She agreed as instincts told to do so.

I saw her grow from a child to a woman,
When she was directionless I oriented her,
She got my focus and the comfort of poetry.

I invested my time in her once upon a time,
Gave her kind sermons to make her happy,
She even felt like having found that road.

But I got careless halfway through it,
Thought she had matured enough for it,
I was wrong 'cause she was always mature!

I loved her truly even if she was a bit unruly,
But when I said there's something so lovely,
She stepped on my love's throat carelessly.

And during this time I have gotten ancient,
My eyes feel so tired of her changing colors,
That I have sought death than this lonely life.

You are so full of life
And so full of love.
So full of emotion to share.
Full of smiles and laughs.
He deserves less
And you deserve so much more.
For my mom
When I whisper in your ear your cheeks become red
Your sparkling eyes tell me with a taste to go ahead
Precious pearls are always found my love in riverbed
Most of love emotions are communicated just unsaid

My beautiful queen of world let me see you in detail
Being a sincere lover,my love I never ever want to fail
Breeze plays with your vale let my love chance to avail
Beauty takes over love and love is just ready to prevail

My sweetheart my love my heartbeat is ready to serve
You are so alluring and so enchanting with every curve
With your lovely graces, style and my wonderful verve
What a magical glance what I observe I don not deserve

Just hearing the prospect of my brother's proposal
plunged me into an ocean
where I am not allowed to surface. I can only
struggle and hope some fisherman,
or a dolphin, or jellyfish
to rescue me,
   n u d g e me,
ssstttingg me back to the currents above.
I have this anchor locked to my tears, and I can't make

a sound. If they notice, I will begin to cry.
I don't want them to know
that I'm bad again. They are not the right
people who should know.
I just want someone to care about me
as much as I care about them.
I deserve love, like everyone deserves air.
