Where have they gone,
all of your memories and your dreams?
Have they become your only friendly comfort to help you sleep?
Until you wake up
and you slowly begin to realize,
That everything you hold dear to your heart
bleeds from your eyes.
It's just another day that you'll spend
hoping to find some kind of change,
but you will never find it if you're always looking for the same thing.
Doesn't it occur that its not your dissappointments that hold you down
You have lived your whole life trying to get in
and now you just want out.
You've opened your heart a thousand times
just to pick up the broken pieces,
but its only a matter of time,
You will uplift your troubled eyes.
And there you will see all that your life is worth,
beyond Gods precious skies,
It's all there for you to keep,
just don't let it pass you by...
UNFORTUNATE LOVE
Once more it's morning and I greet the dawn,
waking to feelings I've known,
breathing the fragrance that's lingering on
throughout a lifetime alone;
splinters of sunshine are drifting through blinds,
revealing dust I breathe in,
dancing through flashes, and somehow reminds
of things that never have been;
I hear a song and it's what I've dreamed of,
outside my window they mourn,
I'd face the morning, but I need a shove,
for this poor heart badly torn;
unfortunate dove, why is it you sing,
outside my window each day?
It's a reminder of what life won't bring,
mourning dove, don't fly away;
once more it's morning and I hear the dove
all of my life is a sin,
it's just the way of unfortunate love,
but I still dream now and then.

It's times like this
That your life is what you miss
It's times like this
That your wife is what you used to kiss
A victim stranded
A place to belong is all I ever demanded
Nights you wished you were a star
Get drunk and thrown from the bar
Times are rare
especially when a few share
When any noise gives you a scare
It's times like this
that sorrow leeks and tomorrow reeks
because your life is at a peek
Those were the times you ran in circles
Vision got blurry and daylight turned purple
you catch a lot of hell because your white
But even worse sometimes being black hurts
It'll be the same until time expires
Until I die, hope is my only desire
Even in death a new life begins
Expel time and eternity
until I rise again
Pathetic as you stare into the screen
Trying to find meaning with someone else's life
Dragging down all you thought you had
As you waste away with every passing minute
So disgusting it sounds as people talk of freedom
Hoping life is the dream you do not wake up from
Beat into submission the rebellious youth
As they try to teach you the world you live in
No longer exists
So what?! It doesn't matter
I can scream at you all day
You’ll remain as deaf as ever
So what?! It never mattered
I can nail open your eyes
Still you'll never see, you'll never see
Passing by the church you said could burn
Lying through your teeth as you proclaim your faith
Condemning me as I swim in your shadow
You never told me you'd be the one to kiss the flames
Despising the fortunate ignorant
Living life to a standard I cannot see
Welling up inside, the hateful words push through
I’d rather see you try to fly then know your name
Spoiled, name-brand clone
So what?! It doesn't matter
I can scream at you all day
You’ll remain as deaf as ever
So what?! It never mattered
I can nail open your eyes
Still you'll never see, you'll never see
You’ll never see
Me
Chorus
My life is a postcard
and my dreams are free
Times can be hard
But not with you loving me
It's been a bad day
and I don't know why
I got up this morning
and I wanted to cry
Like a football game
with that one perfect goal
together we are a team
you make me whole
It's picture perfect
my life with you
in all our adventures
in every little thing we do
you are my life
a beautiful piece of art
and I'll never let you go away
and I'll never let us part
Watching our postcard sunset
as we lay upon the sand
you are my everything
so reach out your hand
I wanna hold you close
beneath the skies above
to forever be in this dream
to forever be in love
Still unemployed.
traveling to fill that void.
Steady pains, no reason to complain.
Everything is so clear.
This vision is so strange.
Leading my life, heart first.
Thanks to gods grace,
I dodged my ride in the big black hurst.
Twice.
Some say my life has become cursed.
I say," I'm living life to fullest!"
That no bull...
I've made some mistakes living life to the fullest.
Shattered dreams living life to the fullest.
Completed my summer scheme living life to the fullest.
Broke a few hearts living life to the fullest.
Now I feel like,
The rudest, cruelest,foolish,
most emotionally abusive,
ruthless, truth less, useless,
clearly clueless type of guy.
That will grind smile and shine.
His way through desperate times.
Striving to do the next "right thing"
Terrible things start happening,
when my brain and heart start battling.
Hearts start shattering.
I feel like this ship is sinking.
What was i thinking?
Soon enough I will be abandoned,
empty handed, stranded, tickets in hand.
Leaving from Camden,
heading north to Maryland,
then back to Jersey.
Mr., Mr., Loverman...
No matter how hard we try we can never catch that Runaway Train
We must stare at the problems that face us in daily life and live with them
Because if we don’t live with them, how will we learn from them?
The mistakes that life brings are meant for us to learn and make again
We can’t just hop onto the Runaway Train that takes us to a place far away
Where all of our problems just seem to fade
“Runaway Train never going back, Wrong way on a one way track…”
These are lyrics by Soul Asylum
This is what I am reminded of when I hear the words “Runaway Train”
Maybe I should stop my chasing daydreams
Maybe I should give myself some time...
But time won't change the feelings here inside me
Since we met, you're always on my mind...
YOU'RE MY DREAM
Sometimes I just want to be your lover
Sometimes I just want to be your friend...
Now these feelings just keep getting stronger
I know it's love, it will never end...
YOU'RE MY BEING
Life without you causes me such heartache
Life without you causes me such pain...
But when I have you here close beside me
Everything in life, is right again...
YOU'RE MY LOVE
Loving you for all my life is all I want to do
Can't you see you're the one I need to help me see life thru...
All I am and all I need I have when I'm with you
LOVING YOU FOR ALL MY LIFE IS ALL I WANT TO DO!
I'M SMILING A MILLION SMILES,
AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU.
YOU ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM,
YOUR INTENTIONS ARE GOOD AND TRUE.
YOUR LETTER IS THE SWEETEST THING,
LIKE BLOOMING FLOWERS IN A FIELD OF WONDER.
IT WARMED ME LIKE THE SUN'S RAYS,
AND GAVE ME A FEELING OF SPLENDOR.
I ONLY CHANGED TO BE A BETTER MAN,
BECAUSE PEOPLE LIKE YOU BELIEVED I COULD.
I'M NO LONGER THINKING WITH A CRIMINAL MIND,
I STRIVE NOW FOR A LIFE THAT'S GOOD.
I HAVE VALUE IN MY LIFE NOW,
BECAUSE OF PEOPLE AS NICE AS YOU.
YOUR LETTER REALLY TOUCHED A LONELY HEART,
AND IT CAME FROM A HEART THAT'S NEW.
KEEP WRITING YOUR SWEETNESS,
AND YOUR KIND GIVING WAY.
IT REALLY HELPS TO KNOW YOU CARE,
WHILE LIFE SEEMS GLOOMY DAY AFTER DAY.
YOU ARE MY BRIGHT SUNSHINE,
THROUGH MAY CLOUDS OF GRAY.
WHEN YOU WROTE WITH SUCH CARE,
YOU REALLY MADE MY DAY.
GOD BLESS YOUR WORDS OF JOY,
WHAT PLEASURE IN WRITING YOU BRING.
I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU AGAIN,
LIKE WAITING FOR THE BEAUTY OF SPRING.
HERE'S SMILING AT YOU, BELOVED,
FROM MY HEART THAT'S SO SINCERE.
NO ONE OR ANYTHING CAN TAKE AWAY THIS SMILE,
YOUR LETTER IS SO SO DEAR.
Maybe I should stop my chasing daydreams
Maybe I should give myself some time...
But time won't heal thethe things inside me,
Since we met, you're always on my mind.
YOU'RE MY DREAM!
Sometimes I just want to be your lover
Sometimes I just want to be your friend...
This feeling has gotten ever stronger,
I know, for me, it will never end.
YOU'RE MY BEING!
Loving you for all my life is all I want to do
Can't you see you're the one I need to help to see me through...
All I am and All I have lie deep inside of you,
Loving you for all my life is all I want to do.
YOU'RE MY LOVE!

the lights are dim
as our bodies collide
we coincide sweetly
to you i abide
our bodies flow with ease
giving me incentive
I'll drop to my knees
feel my strength
as you caress my back
listen to my lyrics
as i recite this track
i love it when your body tenses
my touch sends a shock wave
through all of your senses
flaunting your stuff,
what a big butt
I'm down to you boo
I'm yours for the taking
you'll see by my convictions
that I'm hardly faking
our life together has me in a state of felicity
I'm all for a life of constant consistency
playing tunes of passion and romance
whenever in danger i will take a stance
put my life on the line
because you are mine
C:
i dream in the future, us having a kid
at that time living together in the same crib
like a prisoner taking a shiv
that's how i feel when we're apart
when we met i felt that spark
fell in love, you made your mark
i dread the day if we were to part
lets get rid of these thoughts
we are together forever
Work, Friday parties, chores, spouses, kids,
Fashion to follow and patterns to be -
Standards of living. And now repeat:
"This is my life as I want it to be".
You think you're perfect, you swear it's true,
But nobody is, you are nobody then.
You're welcome to Fail - population is you,
Enjoy the illusion of freedom, Failmen!
Late in the evening you search for some fun,
Playing net wars of the stupid and lame.
Pressing the button, you load your gun.
Play your reality rather than games!
You think you're perfect, you swear it's true,
But nobody is, you are nobody then.
You're welcome to Fail - population is you,
Enjoy the illusion of freedom, Failmen!
The further it takes you, the further you go.
A plain carbon paper with plain decorations
Is all your damn life till the end of the show,
A pattern that's set for the next generations.
"Life is just a bowl of cherries",
Do you remember that song?
Of course you don't my dear children.
You've not been alive that long.
I don't remember who sang it,
But I cheerfully hummed along
As the words came across on the radio,
Magically all the day long.
I didn't doubt for a moment
That my life would be ice-cream and cake,
With a big bowl of cherries to munch on,
Sweet goodies all waiting to take.
I've eaten my share of ripe cherries,
So many they started to pall,
While bitter fruits added in measure
Make cherries more sweet in recall.
This is your season my darlings,
So savor each last luscious bite.
Now while yet young, more songs to be sung,
Enjoy your Cherries Delight.

"Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries. Rudy Vallee, Artist, 1931.
The lyrics he sang were inspired by The Great Depression. (I'm not sure if he wrote them.)
Song: Life Is just a Bowl of Cherries"

What a wonderful thing He's done
New life in me's begun
God sent His only Son
What a wonderful thing He's done.
He sent him now I am free
New life lives in me
What a wonderful thing He's done
Done to me.
Now is the time to rejoice
Lift up your hands and your voice
What a wonderful thing He's done
New life has begun.
