Live Free Or Die

When the day turns into night
And the night into day
We will ignite 
With a vow to never obey

Stripping our rights
And still calling us free
Our future you will rewrite 
And you call it liberty

We have a voice 
Which must be heard
You have made your choice
And it must be answered

We will not cower
We will not falter 
Not even from all your power
Not even when faced with your soldier

In My Darkest Hour

Days go by
Without a word
Cool whispers of the wind
Grace upon bloodshed skin
A dark lonely tower

A soul sent to die
One swing of deaths black sword
A blow such can not tend
A price for an immortal sin
I will not cower

Nothing to hold his lie
One to call the lord
One last prayer to send
This devil shall not win
Not even with all of his power

There is no reason as to why
The belly of the beast hath roared
One last favor to lend
Hiding within the beasts den
In my darkest hour

Always Second Place

Always too late
Letting go of all the hate
Never letting them see how bad it hurts
Stuck in endless Deserts
No one to believe
Heart Burnt passed any degree

Always hiding pain 
They look past time and time again
Running away to the south
Into the deap blue monsters mouth
Never to come out to the sky 
The shadows now and forever an ally

Always trying to keep up
Wandering like a lost pup
Sometimes behind Never ahead
Just a mass constant agony and dread 
Never to find another half
Knowing this by hearing they're stinging laughs

Always having to wait
The spirit they will desiccate
Almost but not quite
Forever in a loosing Fight  
Just shy of first place 
Always second place

Waiting For a Change

Why do I get burned?
It’s the lesson I frequently try to learn 
No matter what I breathe in and forgive
I only have 1 life to live
One chance to make a Change 
And waiting for it 

Why cant I fit in?
I am all I’ve ever been 
I’m different that makes a threat
Being different makes them break their sweat
So mean that its wrong
But every one stay strong
Some day its going to change
But for now we’re waiting for it 

Why do I care so much?
Because your not like other people and such
You’re a caring person
Remember this
Times get rough
But know when to say enough
And then know it will change 
But until then we’ll wait for it 

Why do you hate me so?
I cant believe you stooped so low
But I will come up laughing 
Just by looking at the surroundings 
Having fun while you wait for me to get sad
I’m not going to so sorry so bad
I’m not going to change
So you can sit there and wait 

Why cant we all get along?
All we need is a song
We could live in peace if we didn’t need drama 
Dealing with that makes me want to go into a comma 
Just waiting for it to change I will sit 
And just wait 

What will happen when I die?
You will fall in to the sky and fly 
Feel the wind flow past you 
Washing away all of your fear
And erasing every tear 
Knowing there would be no more hating 
And knowing that there would be no more waiting 
 
You would finally find your change

Brothers Farewell

He stands tall
Against the wall
He's always been there
In some way or the other
He's my best friend
The time we spend
Will never be enough
Even when we play rough
He's leaving soon 
Im ever in such a maroon
I don't want to say good-bye
It makes me want to cry
He taught me to fish
I have but one wish
For him to be happy
Never for him to be unhappy
He taught me to fight
For every right
And never take anything for granted
He was amazing
Encluding when we were hell raising
He taught me everything I needed to know
He watched me grow
I sometimes took care of him
I went to his every whim
I would even answer to a bell
For this is my brothers farewell
Being with my brother kept me sane
With him leaving it feels somewhat wrong
It wont be for long
I will see him some 
He would drink his rum
As we sat on the beach
The sun just out of reach
Fishing away in Key West
This is the best
I feel truly blessed
To have such a brother 
Who sometimes hovers 
In my soul he will always dwell 
This is for you, My brother farewell

A Dark Summers Night

She did what she was not 
Which was more than a lot 
Now he is coming
My heart is beating like its drumming
I did not do what you say 
I can see why your afraid
I said nothing 
I had nothing to do with the problems that he is bringing
He is aimed to hurt 
His hearts is torched and burnt
For what you did to him 
The ending is quite grim
Not only for you but all of us
We need to clean this mess
His heart is forever broken and torn 
Its him we will mourn 
He will never be the same 
Why did you play this game
He did what you asked  and what did you do 
And what it would do to him you knew
He comes wanting one last fight
On this dark summers night

Live To the Fullest

To all things futuristic 
It's best to be realistic

Time is evanescent
But life is incessant

All are born of the same essence
To become a coalescence

To each imperfection 
Make life's perfect projection

To love completely 
Is to love entirely 

To love with less 
Is to live oppressed

Fear not the shadow upon your wall
Rather the life not lived to its all

Don'T Cry

Don't Cry A Tear 
Just Open A Beer
For You And Me 
We'll Get Hammered 
Like We Used To
Dont Cry A Tear 
'Cause I'm Not Here
I'm Playin Poker
Up In The Sky
I'll Remmember All The Times You Got High
And I Just Watched
I'm Not Mad About The Skateboard You Haucked
It Wasn't That Good Anyway
I Remember When We Used To Play
And Still I Say 
Dont Cry A Tear 
I Am Right Here 
When You Need Me
Shown No Fear 
I Do Not Leer
I Will Always Care
I Love You 
So Be Not Afraid 
Sit Under The Shade 
Stand Tall And Proud
As I Sit On My Cloud
I Say So Proud And Loud
You Are My Friend 
And To Another 
You Are My Brother
I Always Was Your Cover
I Always Will My Brother
I now Stand On My Cloud 
That Gives You Such Shade Of Grace
I Miss Such A Place
A Place Where 
We Ran In ThePasture
And Then Laid 
And Once On The Bay
Where  We Threw Clay
And On The Same Bay 
Where I Took You In The Boat
And You Where So Scared 
That I Dared 
To Face Your Biggest Fear
Now Dont Cry A Tear 
I Am Every Where 
Around You Here!!!!

Father of Mine

He is my protector
I stand through his lectures
Always watching 
Always helping
Sometimes He's misunderstood
I would understand him if I could
Sometimes he comes off mean 
Its very keen
But what he's really doing
Is trying to be loving
He sometimes doesn't know how to show it
I didn't come with an instruction kit
Mom gets mad and he gets me in trouble
Then he likes to giggle
And try to cuddle
He confuses me
But that is not my plea
So I better get in line
For that father of mine

Leading It On Your Own

I know it’s hard but you have to try
How can you live your life lie?
You say you hate who you’re closest to, to another 
But around him, he’s not like a cousin but a brother
How can you just let them take over you?
Next you’ll be a singer to 
Just like him 
The changes of you not being are very slim 
You let him dress you, and tell you what to do, How to act 
Becoming of what you used to hate as a matter of fact
He tells you who’s in and who’s out
You can’t lead so he does is that what its about?
You have always followed the crowd
Does that make you proud?
To not follow your heart 
 Minding them and playing your own part 
But when you come around me I see what you want to be true
Or at least that’s what I used to think 
But when I’m gone or your with them it all changes
Filled with nothing but perfect Barbie doll images 
That’s like tonight I’m gone and all you do is talk 
If you can talk then walk 
Show me you can do something to do 
Leading it on your own
