Started writing 6 months ago. your thoughts?
|
I fought for years to keep your heart,
Should've been no battle,
rightfully mine from the start,
Ignored everything else,
felt so stupid and stressed,
to learn that you'd later squash theheart in my chest,
My last look in your eyes,
savaged my insides,
It's all come to this,
Our final words with no kiss,
No hugs and no sign of remorse,
It's obvious things have taken theircourse,
If not your way, then bye, don’t givea **** what I do,
Waste of my time trying to talk to you,
It's like trying to knock down a brickwall,
Your love was never intended for thelong haul
Was foolish thinking your abusive dayswere over,
Guess that's impossible when your anasshole undercover,
Only certainty is that you'll neverchange,
Life without you is my only chance tobe sane,
Too mad to talk I left you there,
The sane voice made my choice instantlyclear,
All my efforts have been exceeded,
Wars over, this is the closure I needed
Tears run down my face and I feel rage,
Like fine wine, my happiness will growwith age.

Dissect this please:)
|
Im frustrated, so I goworkout,
usually some music,cardio, and pushups get it out,
That silent voice upstairsoverpowers the mp3,
This whole job and moneysituation really bothers me,
Checked my email,
American Express loweredmy limit,
A result of Thursday.
Stock market took a hugepivot,
I know all good and badtimes pass,
Predicting the next fewyears will be a rough patch
Over and over I hear oneperson never really matters,
A bluff to justify debtearned on a degree to climb corporate ladders,
CEOS learned to hypnotizetheir populations,
to follow like cattle andobey to their regulations,
They promote EqualOpportunity Workplace and Open Door Policy,
If you dare be differentor question you're laid off, such hypocracy,
Businesses have librariesof secrets conveying ambush, betrayal, and theft,
Not an ounce of integrityor dignity, not a thread of honesty left,
The Elite, AKA top twopercent, would fail every employment personality test,
But those new hires areexpected to work long hours at their best,
Laid off, get same joblater, economy is excuse to pay less,
Your lack of income makesthat CEO feel he's got more muscle on his chest.
Plenty bought arms wantingthe American Dream,
Banks made their bucks andmade a mess of everything,
National rating goes down,credit limits suffer, they're left untouched
They still have customers,we're making an ass of us,
Time to stop thependulum...
Dissect this for just asecond,
It shocks me the publichasn't learned it's lesson.
We own them entirely andwe give them our money freely,
They wouldn't exist if weacted on our values properly,
These fortunes act likepre-madonnas,
acting untouchable theybackhand us,
over and over, and wecontinue to flock,
We must not have thebrightest kids on the block.
Anyone think to start fromscratch,
Develop a new formulabegin a new batch,
The importance of love,life, owning yourself,
Recovering values andhumanity, all you'd need is help,
remember that millionsfeel just the way you do,
Power in numbers couldperform corporate voodoo,
There's so much more tothis than whats in this song,
One by one stop being lazyand fix whats wrong.
Next time you buy milk,clothes, or some produce,
Better be “Made inAmerica” otherwise our profits reduce.
Wrong mentality what youdont see doesn't effect you,,
results will be engravedin your life like a tatoo.

Wish I Was Your Addiction
|
Wish I was your addiction,
Upon a star non fiction,
never ending hole so deep,
Life would seem more complete
If you'd wake up,
crack open my bedroom door,
To think you'd been dreaming about me,
God gave you everything you need andmore,
What I'd give to feel those arms hug me,
genuinely, honestly, no lovewithholding
If I was your vice,
I would be the answer to your stress,
Of all else you try,
I'd always bring out the best,
You'd spend time with me ,
defend me to the end,
You'd be incredibly loyal,
I'd consider you my best friend
No recovery program could treat,
the connection we'd share no one coulddefeat,
You'd need to see my all the time,
reminders of me everywhere, like alittle shrine,
Wish I was your addiction,
Upon a star non fiction
never ending hole so deep,
Life would seem more complete

It's been a year since youpassed,
We never met you but I still feelblessed,
You helped me through a very toughtime,
Retro melodies and lyrics put a mellowon my bind,
Found out about you two years ago,
Such a unique singer could work anyflow,
Took your own to create such aninfluential sound,
From something you were never able tofully rebound,
You never comprised, you were honestand cool,
That may not be what everyone says butit's true,
You spoke and sang from the heart,
You always did, even from the start,
Honesty, humility, humbleness andvulnerability,
These traits made it easy for you tolive your life publicly,
You set the bar for what many musiciansstrive to achieve,
You pulled it off with such ease,
the stars aligned, it was meant to be,
It takes guts and strength to be yourown,
That's why you wear this generationsJazz thrown.

Wolf Cry or Not
|
So you've considered suicide,
Life's so bad you want to die?
Is this a moment of honesty ,
Or are you being an attention horror,
Guess either way doesn't matter,
It'd be the wolf cry I can't ignore,
Left your house unconvinced,
This wont be the end of this,
Cant encourage this behavior,
You've got to fix this, you're you'reonly savior,
I know people you can talk to withdegrees,
Don't want my friends' existence tocease
I wonder why you told me this,
Keeping people alive isn't why I exist,
A huge burden just fell in my lap,
I don't own a life saving cap,
I'm no superhero, but I'll stand by myfriend,
Just don't want your life story to end

Not Fair
|
Not Fair
When I Think it's done,
My emotions become undone,
I cried for hours for you,
You always fail to come through,
Not fair, I cry and cry
My love will never die,
Been 6 years for me.
You live 10 min from me,
Never bother to call,
Apologize for sorrow you installed,
Not fair, I cry and cry,
My love for you will never die,
Your the ass I cant shake,
Thought I'd get over you,
Huge mistake,
With every milestone.
Every happy moment,
there's a part of me,
your love would be my happy token
Not fair,I cry and cry,
My love for you will never die

I'll Always be Your Fool
|
I'llAlways be Your Fool
Iwish you were just an ex
Yourwicked spell has me hexed,
ThinkingI could get over you,
DamnI was such a fool
Illnever know how to get over you
I'malways going to be your fool..
Iwas all good until June,
Thenmy heart started craving food,
Justdoesn't seem quite right,
Somethingisn't filling my appetite,
Illnever know how to get over you
I'malways going to be your fool..
Hitme like a brick,
Mydad, the ultimate dick,
Wehaven't spoken in years,
Youstill brings me to tears,
Illnever know how to get over you
I'malways going to be your fool..
Youshould be here for this,
Youcross my mind I get pissed,
WishI could tuck these feelings,
Itsall part of the healing,
Illnever know how to get over you
I'malways going to be your fool..
Whetherits a wedding,
Newkid,
SomethingI've accomplished,
Orwish I did
I'dlove to share it with you,
You'llnever apologize,
SoI'll just have to improvise
Don'tthink any amount of time will heal,
Gottaget a grip and learn to deal

What Would I Do?
|
What Would I do?
An anger inside,
Wish I could burn you alive,
Out of my control,
Watch as parts of me unfold,
If I find you,
What, what would I do?
If you were here in front of me,
What would I say or do,
This burning furry, my lips sealed,
Punch you girl why?
Never did look you in the eye,
Explain to you why you make me cry,
My wicked step mom,
Your mad at me but I did nothing wrong,
Kissing your feet,
Wish I could push delete,
Erase every apology
Left with no material for an anthology
Insecurities were transparent,
You cast a spell on my parent,
Spellbound, he made you number one,
You beat his first born son,
He had to chose between us or you,
Boy did we sure loose...
On the flip side,
Not sure why I gripe,
It's obvious he's not worth my time,
And you? Well, you're not worth a dime.
Thinking of you makes me bipolar,
You've cause a lot of stress,
Put me at my worst when I was at my best,
If laws of nature didn't apply,
I'd find a chair, tie you up, leave you to die.
That's not me..so for a few minutes I'll cry
Then I'll move on and play outside

Cant Control You
|
Cant Control It
I wish I could control what you do,
What you do effects me,
I've done all I can do make thingsbetter,
You don't seem to care, makes my life atragedy,
I shop places I believe in,
Costco, Trader Joe's, Mom/Pop Shops,Etsy,
I might pay a little more,
They take good values a little moreseriously,
If I had a **** load of money,
I'd buy this world and hire Cannabisusers to run it.
Peace would spread everywhere,
Environment would be treated more fair,
All the CEO's, politicians, andscumbags of the world,
Would be locked up in a country sizestadium,
One by one they could take each otherout,
They'd set record for Websters largestpandemonium,
All the do-gooders could partytogether,
For everyone, the sunsets would fargreater,
Days would shine, music would blast,
Stupid political drama would be a thingof the past!

Butterflies of Fear
|
Being a child of addiction,
Not much you can do,
Cant anger the beast,
Don't want the object they hit to beyou
Constant stir in my stomach,
Butterflies of fear cry,
Gotta turn up the music,
Otherwise my spirit might die
Friends not home,
In my room alone,
Look in the backyard,
Tried to grow grass, disaster prone
Turn on the black and white tube,
Married with Children hears my blues,
Cracks me up,
Way better than watching the news
It's in the small things I findcomfort,
Outside bedroom walls are chaos,
I walk out there always in silence,
Don't want to upset the big boss.
Its easy to lie when your well being isat stake,
Keeping them happy makes your fake,
Soon your feelings mirror grayrainbows,
Different colors for every mood,
Emotions numb, no more glow to show.

Just Won't Happen
|
Went months going all over town,
Finally found the perfect gown,
But when I looked in the mirror,
Compared to dreams,
My reality feels inferior,
You should be near..
For me to endear,
Your stubborn attitude arrests youremotions,
Reality you'll never apologize sinksdeep in the big blue ocean,
Fiance found his suit,
I stare and smile, looks so damn cute!
I want to call and share this with you,
But with you I have nothing to do,
You should be near..
For me to endear,
Your stubborn attitude arrests youremotions,
Reality you'll never apologize sinksdeep in the big blue ocean,
Collecting addresses from family,
Invitations are near ready,
Seems to be happening so quickly,
There's a damn of tears compilingrapidly,
I feared this a long time,
Couldn't put my finger on the dime,
This is the hardest thing I've had todo,
Plan my wedding without you
Honestly Im surprised,
Thought once you'd hear I was engagedyou'd try,
Call me to talk, or show up at myhouse,
Your heart and mind are in a constantjoust,
Hoped dearly that we'd reconnect,
So you could help me plan the perfectevent,
Just wont happen..........
My biggest fear I have to overcome,
I can think about it all I want,
But when all is said and done,
Trying to stay true to what I feel isright,
Not sure how, but I refuse to let itruin my special night.

Then I Woke Up
|
Talking in the kitchen,
All five of us are joking around,
One of us feels singles out,
From the counter pulls you off and your head meets the grout,
Suddenly you get up, start laughing,and the rest join.
You become possessed and punch him inthe back,
First can't tell what with but something with a point,
Suddenly everyone becomes victim of attack,
Strikes over and over until until he'son the floor,
You sound like the devil when he rours,
Environment has changed and we're surrounded by strangers,
They've come to witness the comedy show but now they're in danger,
They all scatter and run for their lives,
Escaping into fake staircases, walls, afew run into bee hives,
Somehow I just stand there, watch it happen,
No fear in me that I may become part of this,
I tell myself I need this info for the therapist,
No fear that I may be at risk,
Witnessing a demonic demonstration,
You want loved ones to feel intimidation.
Then I woke up..

Rehab What a Twist
|
I think you should go to rehab,
you say noooooooo,
ya youre all wack ,
cause youre on crack,
ya wont go go go,
you wont take the time,
if your gym boys think your fine,
i tried to make ya go to rehab,
ya text LMAO,
You'd rather be at the crib with Mike,
Party at eight, gonna get so high,
Youre a well known smooth talking ladies man,
Your secret crush, cybroman stan,
always brough Jack D. to school,
a few times had to call the man Dr. Drew,
I think you should go to rehab,
you say noooooooo,
ya youre all wack ,
cause youre on crack,
ya wont go go go,
you wont take the time,
if your gym boys think your fine,
i tried to make ya go to rehab,

They would't let you take the medics wheel,
all cracked out, trying to do a deal,
white coat dude had to ask why you here,
You explained you'd been attacked by a dear,
Rubbing alcohol was all you found,
to ease the pain and mellow you down,
I think you should go to rehab,
you say noooooooo,
ya youre all wack ,
cause youre on crack,
ya wont go go go,
You say you dont wanna drink again,
dont want to loose your FB friends,
refusing to spend 2 months,
away from your gym boys and your cybroman love,
whatever helps you sleep,
at night that booze must go bye bye,
I think you should go to rehab,
you say noooooooo,
ya youre all wack ,
cause youre on crack,
ya wont go go go,
you wont take the time,
if your gym boys think your fine,
i tried to make ya go to rehab,
ya text LMAO

Water Babies:)
|
When the water from the sky
meets the water from the sprinklers,
they create little water babies!
Sometimes I find them playing on my dogs whiskers,
She shakes them off but they'll come again,
Grumbling electric skies of summer, never want you to end!
