Runaway

     Runaway, Runaway, you can never
Runaway, the truth will always find you
It doesn’t matter what the truth is
In the end there’s the truth we knew

In the Goodfellas we can see the truth
Right before our own eyes
Life always catches up to you even
If you’re in your best disguise

The wise guys, the Goodfellas
The family and the golden rule
Never be the Rat remember togetherness
And never play each other for the fool

But the reality is you can’t trust anyone
Soon they all want their own stack
No longer satisfied with just a cut
Eventually everyone gets it in the back

It’s the universal lesson you learn
When you decide to betray
You find yourself in witness protection
And your the stiff you tried to Runaway

The Darkness In My Heart

        Once there was a time when I
Just wanted a place to hide
I kept a shield around my heart
I couldn’t let Love get inside

In the sky the clouds were always grey
And there was rain upon my windowsill
I had Demons for body guards and
Angels they loved to ****

But when I first saw you
I let my defenses drop
I didn’t want to love you
But now I can never stop

Those grey clouds have all disappeared
And now all those Demons run and hide
The deep pain and sorrow has lifted
I can’t remember the tears I’ve cried

Once I was drowning in a Dead Sea
But like Moses you made the Water part
You were the Angel that Triumphed and
Took away The Darkness In My Heart

We got married 04/14/84
I Love You Cynthia!!!

The Left Handed Power

      Don’t let it Happen, no, no
Don’t let this world get to you
Negatively and worry can always be
Defeated by a positive point of view

When darkness falls on the city
And it seems to follow you too
Jesus will be your guiding light
When there’s nothing you can do

A Demons whisper can steal your
Happiness like a thief in the night
A simple suggestion can lead to
Temptation and wrong can feel so right

You’re only human and you can easily
Be found vulnerable in your weakness
But with Jesus you’ll find strength
Despite your flaws and meekness

So just give your heart to Jesus and get
Drenched in his Love & Grace Shower
And you’ll never have to surrender to
The Left Handed Power

Feather Or Brick

          Life it can be light or heavy
You’re the only one who can pick
Troubles can float away or they can
Hold you down, Feather Or Brick

There’s so many mean people
It’s enough to make you sick
You can brush them away or carry them
On your back, Feather Or Brick

Take your addictions and blow them
Away with the wind, habits you can kick
Don’t let them be the reason you fall or
Part of your wall, Feather Or Brick

The Devil is like a Magician
He’s always got a trick,
You can push right through or let it
Stop you in your tracks, Feather Or Brick

Your a candle burning Bright, don’t let
The every day burn you to the wick
Burn it away instead of it smothering
You out, Feather Or Brick

Cerulean Blue

       My mood is Melancholy at best
There’s no words I can use to describe
There’s nothing a Psychiatrist can treat
And no medication a Doctor can prescribe

I know with the comfort of Jesus
That eventually I’ll be okay
I’m where I am in the moment
And for the moment it’s where I’ll stay

We’ve all been there before
Caught in a spiral of everything wrong
Like being in the middle of Summer
But the wind whispers in a cold song

The summer breeze that is meant
To bring you relief from the searing heat
Turns into an Arctic chill that freezes your
Thoughts and sends a message of defeat

The Sun hides behind the clouds though
Its light is still within your view
The sky isn’t dark & grey but more like
In a witch’s tale described as Cerulean Blue

Spurs & Spitfire

     There’s nothing I love more than a
Good Western Movie or good Rock & Roll
Give me the Duke or Clint Eastwood
Or some KISS to feed my soul

I’m a simple man and I absolutely love
Simple pleasures for my joy
I’m a man of sixty three but inside
Still beats is the heart of a boy

So give me Gene Simmons
Who’s known for Spitting Fire
And give me Clint with his squint
& Spurs as a gun for higher

Put them together as foes
Or as partners on a mission for good
Make it a movie like they did in the past
Make it with heart the way they should

I know it’s just a fantasy of mine
Something that only I desire
It would be so great to see Gene Simmons
& Clint Eastwood in Spurs & Spitfire

The Wilted Witch

       She’s a most Evil one
She’s the Devil’s Daughter
She’s got a thirst for blood like a
Dehydrated Athlete has for water

She has a dedicated patience
For hers is a soul eternal
She has a natural curiosity and
Unsuspectingly walks among the Mortal

If you come in contact with her
Make sure you get on her good side
If she feels you’ve crossed her
There’s no where you can hide

Her wrath would be put upon you
Brought from the depths of Hell
You’ll suffer until you die never
Knowing that you’re under a spell

Things will continue to happen as if
Your life was a video game glitch
You’ll never know that you were
Blind Sided by The Wilted Witch
