10 Little Fingers 10 Little Toes 2 Little Eyes

10 Little fingers 10 little toes 2 little eyes everyday they save a life.
Every day she will arise to go to work 9-5 flipping burger's and dunking fry's.
10 Little fingers 10 little toes 2 little eyes everyday they save a life.
Every day hold's a new surprise from those 10 little fingers 10 little toes and 2 little eyes.
one day shell realize 10 Little fingers 10 little toes 2 little eyes are not so little any more.
Those 10 little fingers get bigger and one has a ring on it.
Those 10 little toe's get bigger no longer barefoot a boot on each.
Those 2 little eyes no longer so little looking strait up the middle ready for combat.
10 Little fingers 10 little toes 2 little eyes everyday they save a life.
Her 10 Little finger's 5 little toe's 2 little eye's finally come home.
and like I said 10 Little fingers 10 little toes 2 little eyes saved Their life.

Unbreakable

Alive we bleed alone we burn.

Dry wood and gasoline strike a match and we burn.

Turn on a light we shine.

Give us a dream we fight.

Give us a hope we prove our determination.

Together we are Unbreakable.

And as one Impenetrable.

Lost On Bacwards Or Reverse Feet

When you left I was broken one the edge and the only way out was over and so I started running with my feet on backwards. (Your shadow (echoingx3) in my mind)

My darkest hour came that night sleeping without you.

But I know what you really are that girl all moms warn their son's about.

Birthed from disaster I was on the edge from the beginning.

 

You were the shadow on my wall making my skin crawl pushing me over the edge and you weren't there to save me.

 

It's a little different now I played a card you didn't know I had.

Now I'm gone and you on the edge your darkest hour at night realizing your mistake.

Your running but your feet are on backwards and the only way out is over the edge(my shadow(Echoingx3)in your mind)

Knowing what you've done was wrong you beg for me to take you back but I'm done living on the edge.

 

I am the shadow on your wall making your skin crawl pushing you back over the edge and I wont be there to save you.

 

When you left I was broken one the edge and the only way out was over and so I started running with my feet on backwards. (Your shadow (echoing x3) in my mind)

My darkest hour came that night sleeping without you.

But I know what you really are that girl all moms warn their son's about.

Birthed from disaster I was on the edge from the beginning.

 

I am the shadow on your wall making your skin crawl pushing you back over the edge and I wont be there to save you.

 

I saved myself and so can you. I'm happy now without you and it kills you. My life is not what it was before.

I struggle with my demons day by day but at least I know mine wont kill me in the end. Ya I'm still lost but I gotta compass you have nothing. Now I can face the day unafraid and be me.

Well That Was Stupid

I Look back every day and think well that was stupid.

My friends ask me what's wrong but I'd rather not say.

Some say no It's not your young and that's how it goes.

Hanging on by thread thinking back running through the memories in my head.

 

I'm So Sick of hollering in my own self pity.

Knowing that life's full of bad choices.

It's up to me to make the best of them.

But I guess the hardest part of life is forgiving yourself.

Letting go of the past is hard but living with it is much harder.

 

Day to Day I just can't seem to change.

Those that love me see my pain.

Not accepting the one above just cause's more.

Not because I'm afraid to but because I don't know how.

 

Again and again I have tried but keeping to to myself and him are harder than I thought.

Yes we all have faults but mine is Failure to keep my word to those I don't see.

Yes that's you out of sight out of mind ya that's who I am.

Maybe it's me I can't hold true to.

 

I pray for the that changes me but whats the point if you don't mean it in your heart.

How can I give everything away when I have nothing to give worth the time.

Knowing what I'm meant for and what I want to be meant for are so far apart how can I decide.

Cacophony of Truths

Hey Hey Hey Hey

 
Come Listen to what I say.


Listen to my Cacophony of truths that burns even the roots of foundation.
From our Nations Heart we wish for a different part.
 

Let's give this a kick start.
You know your part yea you play the shark.
preying on the weak.
With a global Policy that lets you police the world instead of your own country.


While the rich get richer and the poor poorer.
The ladder of social status and "Proper" morels will  no longer hem us in.
No more reform only reduction and subjugation of rules that all men can be Prevalent to.


Take a step back and take a hit while your at it.
Don't forget to inhale.
Don't check the mail wait a while to confer with those important to you in this world.


You Chaste men Speak the word but I know few that live humble.
You persecute  the unpretentious and crush the Taxpayers that you are sworn to uphold.
Those you slight and scorn will grab you by the horns and slay you.

I'M Not the Candy Man

I am in love and did not know what to do 
How could I love you.
I tried so hard to show you.
Something I knew to be So Very True.
Every day you said Hi,I felt so fly.

To stand by how could I comply.
Your suffering so plain no need to cry.
Please tell me why,in your eyes the fear so clear.
I just want to hear,Its ok to whisper in my ear.
Because I have my own fears.
May I share them with you.

You've got a plan,never bland.
Always in motion such emotion and devotion.
Your beautiful hessonite eyes ruminate in the morning sky.
You could be my new high.
For all time you could be mine.

I know you want to live and that's just fine.
I've got time and I want you to be mine.
One day we can listen to The Animals while folding Granimals.
You Stop my pulse and I Need You to carry on.
You are more beautiful than any dawn.

I'm so glad I told you. 
I would tell you every day and every night.
Rain or Shine Sea's or Snow.
I will Always let you know I love you.
And without you well i'm blue and don't know what to do.

But that's ok because here i'll stay and wait for you to return from the ocean blue.

I might not the Candy Man but i can.
Your love to keep me positive.
My heart to keep you safe.

The World Remains

As the rain falls and the drums beat  the suns rays dampen and the sounds of battle quell. 
The sword sheath and the heart turns to mourning of the fallen.
Those still standing sway from the weight upon their heart as they see how their friends were torn apart. 
Like bark stripped from timber with the ease of melting snow.
The hopes and dreams of many stamped out.
No curse or prayer bringing them back.

Long ago men stood a breast.
Stock and trade varied man  to man.
All would make a stand.
Only a few would remain.
No sacrifice in vain.

In the struggle to stay sane.
Memories bled through and home was the only happy thought.
A stone house was met by few and charred remains for others.
A land ravaged by hate and pain.
Monuments raised to praise those who fell.
Although none were needed for the world remembers.
And the world is the one that pays.
The World Remains.

Stand In

I had a plan to tell you how I feel but i canned it reran it. 
How do I show you your my bandwidth my sociable sandwich.
What if I told you how my heart ticks.
What if you told me that I was just a stand in.
I couldn't stand it.

Toxic Elevator

At the top floor I wait to hit the bottom in this Toxic Elevator.
This Penthouse hell sucks so much without you.
I could start swearing but I'm not, this is not your fault.
It all belongs to me my bad choices have bothered me before but will this one ever stop?
I wana talk but there's never a good time at least for you.
the worst part is thinking that when we do I'll crumble and shutter back.
Not saying how I really feel is what I fear most.
 
When can I sing a new song.
Is there anyone out there who feels like me.
Right now I doubt that anyone does.
This halfway point of my life burns so bad right now.
Needing that fire to be extinguished but none know how.
 
This Toxic Elevator That I ride all day every day.
This pain going in my veins busting out through my eyes from my ear's and under my nails even my mouth.
so tired of my endeavors that I suffer day to day.
I've been alone desolate I have got to find a way to get over this.
When we talk I get so mad thanks to your unprofound trivial thoughts on us.

At the top floor I wait to hit the bottom in this Toxic Elevator.
This Penthouse hell sucks so much without you.
I could start swearing but I'm not, this is not your fault.
It all belongs to me my bad choices have bothered me before but will this one ever stop?

I wana talk but there's never a good time at least for you.
the worst part is thinking that when we do I'll crumble and shutter back.
Not saying how I really feel is what I fear most.

Falling Stars

Can we watch the stars fall?
Can we watch the world turn?
Will you let me hold you?
Can I clean your wounds?
Can I dry your eyes?

When you have the time come find me.
I'll be waiting her in the patient hollow of my heart.
I'll be waiting.

I gave you truth that hurt...I'm sorry.
I gave you words of hope and light.
I tried to let you see a different side.
Not wanting it to be a lie.

But all the same I did it again...I died.
I may have lied.
But I Swear Damn I tried.
I told you I wanted to be high it's how I got by.

I could see the pain but incapable of perception.
Incapable of understanding.
But still trying I gave my words.
From the deepest part of my being I spoke.
For hope.

And so I wait.
To hear your voice.
It's been so long.
A few words a day is nothing like enough.
I need to hear what you have to say.

I need to know what the future holds and what it doesn't.
I can live without you but not without knowing.

Will you watch the stars fall with me? 
Will you show me your heart and share your thoughts with me?
Can I hold you as we watch?
Ill guard you from all I can.
All walk through all the fire you breath.
I see what you feel.
I never could before.
You opened my eyes to suffering without even knowing it.
Something that I felt before.
