If I Promised You the World
If I promised you the world
Would you sing a love song
In sweet harmony & rhyme

If I promised you the world
Would you lay it on the line
& stick by me until the end

If I promised you the world
Would you throw caution
To the wind & come running

If I promised you the world
Would you buy me a bouquet
Of lilacs, roses & birds of paradise...

Lay It On the Line
grook

Take honesty; it matters.                     
Skirting an issue can shape
the truth until it shatters.
Guile provides means of escape.
 
Candor is what I desire
over cunning craftiness.
How many people will hire
one who’s extremely careless?
 
Truth in shreds, as I debate
deciding what to do next.
This is one November date
that leaves me more than perplexed.

As I Lie
As I lie with my die 
my death, my cry these tears subside.
No fear no sin, the life is nigh 
the end, the grin becomes my mind.
The hate, the shake it seems quite fine 
the hope it choked away my time.
The faith it seems a fervent lie 
I feel this deal's my greatest crime.
Betwixt the life, the mind, the time 
amidst the sin, the grin, the crime.
The faith itself stole all that's mine 
so yet I lay and preach this line....
