Andy Got No Candy

Andy dressed up in a costume
to do tricks for his treats.
He stept outside and tripped,
on the tail of his monkey suit.
The kids laughed and pointed.
Poor Andy ran away ,
no candy in hand.

Giving Indian

Joe the lightning bear
Put on his nike air.
Ran he did, as fast he can,
Through the forest, of his ancestry land.
Frantic Joe didn't know where to go,
It's not his fault he didn't know.

I'M Nervous and Careless, I'M Sad and Mad

I'm nervous and careless, I'm sad and mad.
It'll be what it will be.
Because it is what it is.
Nervous and careless, sad and mad.

My belly tight, it hurts real bad.
My heart beats fast, i feel it in my hand.
The loss in my eyes, like a deer in headlights.
It makes me ill and filled with fright.

This world closing in with unexpected winds,
Twirls and swirls me around, until I the hit ground.
When it's all over is when I'll begin.
There and then i will finally be found.

For now in my present in anxious torture.
I'm nervous about this and careless for that.
I'm sad from the past and mad for the future.

I will face without choice my mistakes.
The storm I won't be able to escape.
It'll be what it will be 
And I'll do what i have to do.
But I'm nervous and careless, I'm sad and mad.
Why do I do see all the deeds done bad.

Winter Night Vision

I see through the trees, the breeze and the freeze.

Gone, Gone, Gone

There's something going on....
There's something coming in....
It's going to crawl on your skin,
Dig in and it won't take long,
Before you're gone, gone, gone.

There's something whispering in, 
You can't hear it, you don't care.
When I'm near I fear the bear
Looking through you in despair,
and you're gone, gone, gone.

There's something dying inside
You don't make me feel alive.
Another day comes to pass,
And I wonder if it's the last.
Before you're gone, gone, gone.

There's something in my heart
It's going to twist in and shift
It won't take long,
Before I'm gone, gone, gone.

The Core

It's rotten in the bottom of the core of love.
Crunched up and tossed, once found now lost.
Glimmers like teases poke and whisper.
Tickle and blind me with their shimmers.

The shake from the quake craked the center,
All the love slivered away to the hate bay.

Some say it was ment and others no comment,
but something happened that night.

As the core tries to gather the loss,
sinks deeper in dirt covered moss 
with nothing it stays in its sorrows,
and dreams no more.

"Farewell" the core said and whimpered off.
Trying to catch the glimmers once lost.
Not knowing that this is the end,
Of feeling ever again.

Falling

I'm falling for you,
Falling.., and falling for you.
Now i'm crawling to you..,
with my knees bleeding through.
My mind is racing and i'm tongue-tied.
I just keep falling..,
Falling.., and falling for you.

When you walk in the room,
I can't help but fall for you.
You're eyes beam alive,
and you're looking so good tonight.

If I could curse, or put a spell,
I would make you fall.., 
Fall.., and fall from the hell
If I swear I'll never tell,
would you dance with me tonight?

I'm falling for you..,
Falling.., and falling for you.
Please dance me into trance,                                                                                      
and fall for me too.
I'm suddenly confused 
and sick of being used 
But I can't save myself,
from falling from you.

The Lion

I didn't want to play this game
If the rain in the sky was dry
Would everything be the same?
I'm whole in a hole with my mane
If the rain in the sky was dry 
a sad lion lost in shame
I'm whole in a hole with my mane
With no one to hunt or blame
a sad lion lost in shame
would everything be the same?
with no one to hunt or blame
I didn't want to play this game.

Life Path Clock

Always pins and needles underneath my toes,
where,oh where should I go?
Ticks on my life path clock,
Tell me Time where do you tock?

Always i push it all away,
Act abruptly and out so loud.
With an ego I pretend to be so proud.
Tell me pride where do you cry?

I shake my thoughts like salt,
then out i sneeze pepper.
Rub my hands on my face in ache,
Try to see the truth and appreciate.

Time was on my side,
but I tumbled behind.
I'm running as fast as the rewind,
to find a place to hide.

Worries turn into broken glass
They crash and cut gashes.
Always pins and needles underneath my toes
Wondering where I'm expexted to go.

Ticks on my life path clock,
Tell me time where do you tock?
I'm stuck in a rut of the same strut,
I've been living with my eyes stuck shut.

Lone Cry

This is a cry from my soul and it's screaming,
I need someone to hold, no one is daring.
The moon floats alone it's cold and I'm trembling,
Can't eat, can't sleep, I'm weak and I'm crumbling.
If the Gods are not answering now,
Then they were never listenning.
Giving into the sorrow,
I walk around glowing.
The morning sunshine hits me in my eyes,
The intent was to burn my dreams alive.
If I strive and fall, I'll cover up with lies,
To disguise the feelings I hold inside.
Chin up, get up and try!
Smile with wide eyes.
 get myself through the dirt of the day.
This cry from my soul it's not letting me go.
I've been beat down, put down and thrown in a hole,
Can't eat, can't sleep I'm weak and I'm low.
How low will i go to jump up and out? 
This cry from my soul sings of strong notes,
I know it's there I can feel it everywhere.
I scream, I choke,
I breathe and try let go
The sadness will always be my reason for deep stare,
I'll always be there, I'll always be there.
