My Sweetest Sin

You are an angel that glistens in the night
That scares away all demons within your sight
You’re beautiful, remorseful and caring
You’re my sweetest sin

You’re the someone every once a piece of
The Beautiful Anti Demon from above
The shimmer in your eyes 
Matches the sparkle in the skies
And makes ideas fly to. .
The heavens

Stars above let me say
I’d take a bullet for my love
And head your way
To protect her with my life
For that I wouldn’t care or gripe
I will do anything to see her smile
Even if it took a day or a while

You are an angel that glistens in the night
That scares away all demons within your sight
You’re beautiful, remorseful and caring
You’re my sweetest sin

The Word From the Streets

Take it to the limit and speak your mind
Find a moment to spare and a nitch in time
So you can relax and think for a minuet
So you can live life to its fullest and drive it like a spigget
Show them who you really are and what you stand for
Raise our voise and let yourself be heard
Show everyone you can spread the word

If you fail to spread the word there's something else you must do
try a little bit harder and it'll eventually happen
Probabally not today or tomorrow but sometime in the future
Your word will be spoken from generation to generation
As it was meant to be told

Wrath of Temptation

My damn mind is drifting away
Trying to retain knowledge but it won’t stay
Need to walk thru my past and pick up the pieces
And try to fix those shattered dreams of my forgotten life
Hiding these emotions in the handle of this knife
And forcing myself to fix my broken emotions
Looking at all the collected tokens
The tokens from my accomplishments
And my many achievements
To see where I went wrong
Asking myself why I’m so headstrong

Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are

Pushed me once
Pushed me twice
Pushed me three times
Tell em to read between the lines

When people harass you what do you do
You show them who is boss and make them see you
Follow there actions and soon you will discover
That there once was cowards making them ponder
Leading them to follow there stupidity
They found a new path of unanimity 

Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are

Follow your own advice and you will learn
That roads to enlightenment had very sharp turn
But soon they will straighten out and fork off
Then the difficult part proves its troth
 
Looking in the mirror what do I see
My life and my libido consuming me
Too late to pick a new path
Because too many people tempted my wrath
People pushed me too far
Just so they could discover who they are
