The Pencil

Black and White
With shades of gray
Complex things
Portrayed in simple ways
Each line I lay
Nothing can sway
The feeling i get
From shades of gray

Stop It

war is a constant
has been, all ways will be
power dictates the winner
who finished last
who's next in line
who controls you
it is the victor
he who writes the past

war is an epidemic 
created by humanity
destroyer of families
how ironic
how war ties us together
how demonic, are its ways
war manipulates the pawns
this is how division equals multiplication

war is a weed
population control
the slaughter of good and evil
needs no rain
needs no sun
a means to harvest
the "lesser" men
war dies only to rise again

stop the wars 
your not gods
stop the wars
before we lose what matters most
the possibility and beauty of unity

You Know Best

take it easy take a step back
you never helped me follow through
don' bother asking why
secrets so often lead to lies

every time i try
doubt lingers in my mind
twisting and turning and causing me stress
I never sleep well while knowing

I'm guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
how could i forget that
lessons deserved learn best

trust, don't let it rust to much
these words grow weaker, with every touch
no sense in forging a false pretense
another way to say you're full of it

only in my mind
can i find a piece of mine
yearning deserving simply more
whats so wrong with thinking

I'm guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
how could i forget that
lessons deserved learn best
just turn around
you're lost not found
the secrets out
had enough
of you I've found
hearing your secrets sour my mind
so down your road
a block or so
i can't condone you
you're not like me
I'm blind
But i don't owe you

anything
all but vague

no longer there to your dismay
asking why almost a million ways
I'm hungry for advice
hearing yours don't make me wise

Your lies don't change your fate
i mean you no disgrace
postponing controlling things sure to come
all the while your asking

am i guna regret this
try and erase this
mess
will i ever forget that
lessons deserved learn best

you know best

Black Rose

our love is like a withered rose
fragile in the winter wind
yet i plan to stay with you
till the very end

Unheard

I'll catch you on a monday
maybe i'm afraid to say
i can see what's goin on

you caught me at a better time
your vision ain't as clear as mine
we weren't worth the time we spent

don't be so unheard
let me in
listen to my word
im your only friend
i can help you up
be the one you trust
don't be so unheard

now it's pushin Wednesday
i've got somethin new to say
thanks for helping me get out

i learn lessons everyday 
just another way to say
i see a false smile in your eyes

don't be so uheard
let me in
listen to my word
i'm your only friend 
i can help you up
be the one you trust
don't be so unheard 

always under the moonlight
surrounded by stolen light
never as bright as you could be

i'm tired of standin by
everyday it hurts my pride
have you heard a word i said

don't be so unheard

The Top

Honesty
Can't you see
I lied again
Against your whim
Following I keep on following
As you lead the way
My lowest friend
How we meet again

Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh yeah
Oh no

It's the top see baby
Surely you're not all alone
Safe baby
The place that you call your home
Front seat baby
Maybe I'm lost
I don't trust a thought 
And i think to much oh come on
Come on come on say maybe
Come on  come on see baby
Come on come on say maybe
Yeah baby come on

I betrayed
You and me
I messed up again
Lost another good friend
Stop pushing I can't stop pushing
Down on all your walls
Till your broken again
To severe to mend

Oh yeah...etc

It's the top see baby...etc

Trusting me 
You're naive
Where do i begin
Starting from the end
Selfishly I keep on running and
Don't forget my name
I'm sorry again
All the words I spent

(I am still working on it)
