People Don'T Change

It's a shame the way people stay the same today
They don't change

They say "I'm going through changes 
What I say is true and
When I'm done with my phases 
I will be a new man
I'm setting on the right trail
Heading on the right track
There's no way in hell
That I'm ever going back 
To that dark place
I will be right here
Not in any case will you face
Having to see me disappear
Don't you ever fear
That I won't be near
I've cried many tears
And tried plenty of years
To get my life straight
I knew it wasn't my fate
So I had to migrate
To a wise state"

People don't change 
No matter how hard they try
All they do is rearrange 
Their twisted lies.

One More Chance To Dance

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I stand in a stance and glance at him with a frown
and knock him down to the ground while he turned around
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

If by dance you mean abusing, using all my might 
to fight it seems confusing, because you don’t know the sight
of riding home at night, 
after flying kites with your dad, 
and pickin clovers
then gettin pulled over
“Geeze dad, what’d you do bad?”
“Please don’t be mad, I can honestly promise I’m sober”
I looked over my shoulder
and saw red-blue lights
they had him dead-to-rights.
Guess he won’t me tuckin me in bed tonight.

No One Knows Me

I live in constant pressure
It's like a honest measure
That I will not fulfill
I feel forgot, for real
I've known you my whole life but still
You don't feel who I really am
There's more to me than silly cam
There's a side to me
That you'd die to see
I'm an introvert
To be my company
Will not end the hurt
There's more than one side
More than one guy
Behind these eyes
I try to hide the lies
And I despise my disguise 
If you knew me today
You'd shoo me away
So I'll continue to offend you by wearing a lonely new mask
And if you want the real me than I will share it if only you ask.

Padre

I'm holding in my anger 
Knowing I'd die to be the strangler
Of his sour-little coward-brittle throat 
I'm just mad not literal
But when your dad's a criminal
There's a  minimal amount of father hope
It doesn't bother me no, 
But it keeps haunting me so
I will keep wandering not knowing where to go
No Padre in my home
What an odd-way to be grown
I guess God made me to be alone.
While you and your dad are sittin fishin 
I'm visitin my dad in prison 
My only mission is too inform you what you're not missin 
Because while your parents are laughing and kissin 
I'm starin havin to listen to my dad share his caring "wisdom"

Life's a Test

Life can be depressin
You're just constantly stressin
Over learning life lessons
and guessin,
What's the message?
And what's the point of livin?
if you're annoyed every minute
Why's the earth even spinnin
Why was I given birth in the beginnin?
Why am I still stressed?
I should feel blessed
For what I do possess,
Life's like a stupid test
that you can't pass,
You don't wanna finish the rest
but you have to last,
You've got to diminish the pest
that's tellin you stop
I've been through hell and I'm not
gonna rot in a coffin
Still a worried man,
Im fraught about it often
I feel hurried and,
My stress has got to soften
I will for sure read and,
Study for this test to give my best
But the stress will have to rest.

Life's Curves

Life's pitching me curves I don't deserve
It's getting on my nerves
I continue to look at the menu it serves
stuff I'm allergic to
I heard a tune on a boom box
that insured you rock
It says your lives amazin 
Life's what you make it
Well I don't take this to be true
because I didn't make it to be blue
