Locked down justiceNothing good ever came out of hell
we all can see the enemy works on people's fear
The fruits of disaster has been sewn into those consenting
freedom has the choice to move without restraints attached
removal of these rights has turned the system of law upside down
passing laws that amount to curfew status...

I'm Done ChasingI give you space then I notice I'm back in your face
Things are not the same and I'm the one left to chase
I realize how silly I must look when I plead and beg
There is no way to take back the words that I said
I'm not getting no where so I'm done chasing
I'm the...

A PityIt's a pity — such a pity —
That behind those eyes
Lies,
nothing but hazel pretty.
It's a shame — a great shame —
There's zilch we share In common,
Remotely similar, or the same.
It's a heartache — a real pain —
Each other's hearts,
Both lives left stained,
Losing more than we thought Possible
, and ever would've Gained.

Write About U StillWrite About U Still
I write about you still
I tried to fix things after you
She’d try to fight about you still
I write about our moments
And how each one made me feel
Despite the fact that you was spoken for and I was married
It felt just like adrenaline, every touch was daring.
But I knew what it was and...

I LieWhat the hell is going on?
Do I know?
Hell no, I don’t.
I don’t care either.
I lie.
I do care.
I care very much.
I think perhaps
I care too much.
It hurts.
But isn’t it impossible,
Impossible to care too much?
Is it?
I know
It is possible to care too little.
Perhaps not care at all.
I’ve felt that.
I’ve been there.
No one cared.
No one.
Not even me.
But caring...

Not entirely clay[Verse 1]
No place to go
if the door to your heart is closed,
When your love stays my subject,
even when I doze,
Yet you keep ignoring
the true love I propose.
You're already driving me nuts, everyone knows,
Though many loves abound,
to yours, none comes near close.
[Pre–Chorus]
Day by day, to have your love I pray,
Less...

Mystery of deathKnowing not who in truth we are, death is feared,
since we are attached to this decaying form,
so we are through life by myriad fears speared,
with God’s law of love unable to conform.
Surrendering will, we are by God’s hand steered,
stripped of attributes, yet feeling His love warm.
In a realm outside space-time, we yet exist,
living light eternal,...

Please Tell Me: A Response to the Film 'Grown Ups'Please tell me it’s summer every day of the year.
Please tell me that Aerosmith plays from the sky.
Please tell me that heaven’s a basketball court.
Please tell me that everyone’s life has a point.
Please tell me that no one is ever alone.
Please tell me that dying is easily explained.
Please tell me that broken birds get back...

the pathless pathtruth we would find, although we’re blind
looking outward, without insight
we light a spark, to gain clear sight
although we’re blind, truth we would find
we slow down thought, to be self-taught
to gain clear sight, we light a spark
soul ascends on an upward arc
to be self-taught, we slow down thought
love’s benign burn, the way we learn

Your SmileIn everything I could not be
You were always there for me
In everything I would not try
Your love pushes me
Far away from you, dear
Imagine me
I'm still there walking by your side
So lean on my shoulder
I'll wrap my arms around you
Oh please don't sigh
Don't cry
Because I miss your smile
Let me wipe those tears from your eyes
I...

The Man Who Carried the LightI walked that road when crisis struck—
voices blurred, strangers recoiled,
and help summoned cold authority.
Then a kind man appeared—
heart vast as hope’s horizon—
he paused his world to meet mine,
ran through traffic, time bending to his kindness.
In less than an hour, my turmoil bowed
to a gentleness I thought lost.
Across the miles, a penny’s cost
multiplies—mockery, bullying, endless arguments
shaded...

Beyond the GazeThe world demands identity—
a name, a face, a history.
But in its grip, you lose your way,
and shame is what they make you pay.
They drag your truth into the light,
then twist it wrong and call it right.
They dress you up in guilt and fear,
then whisper lies for all to hear.
A coin of shadow tempts the soul,
Whispers...
