Givers and Takers

I’m not yet quite ready for this love

I know I can face the easy days

But when the days between us begin to turn rough

I want to know if it’s tough love

Or together we fall still reqauinted


Some are givers, some are takers

Some feel real love, others love fakers

Oh I’m looking in the eye of a needle

With the vision of an eagle

Seeking your love inside


Givers and takers, I’m ready to give my all

But if you take it all, what will you give in return


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be


I’m not counting the amounts I want in return

Just that your gonna let this fire burn

If I have to go searching for wood

You know I won’t be gone for long

I’ll give you as much as your can carry


Givers and takers, I’m ready to give my all

But if you take it all, what will you give in return


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be


The givers believe they own nothing

The takers believe they owe nothing

So tell me how high will be the price of love to you

Will it break your bank and not my heart

If your a giver as much as me

Take all of me or else just let me be

Feel the Rain

All the drugs in the world you depend
To make all happen that you intend
Theres nothing true for what your about to confess
You even lie about living at the wrong address
Its time you stopped being so naked and get dressed
What your wearing, is that really your best
So many nights, lonliness is your name
Change the chapter your reading but its still the same
No shelter and it feels like rain

Did you have an amazing time
Was the music too loud when the clock had to chime
Outside your gonna need more than an umbrella
You gonna look worse than cinderella
Your lifes a car crash, such a wreck
Dissappear soon like a speck
Suspect its going like your life, feels like rain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Did you forget the pain
Because it wont forget your name
I never pretended to care
Because I aint gonna break your fall
Feels like rain
Tonight its never gonna stop
Its gonna flood your world apart

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Break the chain
Break the chain
Feels like rain

Your hopes are fading fast
Fame and fortune never lasts
Gonna be washed out
Tonight it feels like rain

Deal the pain
Deal the pain
Feel the rain

How you wished life could be silent
Stay and home, praying so devouant
Too late to change the fate
Tonights so dark you cant see the clouds
Gonna wash away, feels like rain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

You'll be there sitting in wet clothes
Catching the death of a cold
While the whole world laughs at you
Like you laughed when you was on top of the world
Destiny has a surprise in store
The seasons gonna change so soon
Winter will make paradise feel like a tomb
While your drowing
Throw the towel in

Feel the rain
Got water on the brain
Even if the rain ever ends
The clouds gonna stalk
So you better believe
Feel the rain to wash away the sin

Feel the rain
Feel the rain
Feel the rain

Deal the pain
Deal the pain
Deal the pain

I'll be dancing in the rain
While your hurting from the pain

Always Kiss You Goodnight

Good days, bad days
Stress days, eternity days
Worry days, ache days
No matter how bad it’s been
Tomorrow is yours to take
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight

If your day lost the meaning of happiness
I’ll repair with the meaning of loving ness
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
The medicine you need
To forget that’s been

Something you never want to face again
Let tomorrow find you in a Better place
Let tomorrow arrive
Let tomorrow shine
Leave yesterday behind
For I did

Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
My lips remove
The thorn in your side

Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Always kiss you goodnight
Yesterday we’ll leave with the fall leaves
And pile them high to plant tomorrows seed

Up Another Level

I got slower in my travels
The sadder the sights that meet my eyes
A reflection on the train windows
Cities in decay, streets overcome with tears
It cant move fast enough for me
I feel the dirt of the city cling to my face

Just sinking in the quicksand
Hold up my hand for one last chance to be found
up another level, holding out for an angel
It could be you, although I'd take a chance on just about anyone

I have flown through clouds of ash
I have tasted the grass and its not sweeter
On this side or the other
Gotta reach up another level
Dont want to be touched by the devil
Please dont stray from me my guardian angel

Hanging from a thread
Spun by a spider since long dead
Its up another level waiting to be released
And this waiting game will finally cease

At My Weakest

I'll let you near me
When I'm at my weakest
I'll let you near mew
When life's at its most bleakest
Because if you are to love me
You need to see me at my lowest
See if you can handle it
If the realities sour the dream

I'll let you closer than anyone before
When I have everything and more
When I am at the end of my rope
Theres more than 100 ft left below
Will you reach out to pull me to safety
Or are you going to release me so sweetly

At my weakest
Thats what you need to see
Down on my knees
Will you handle the pleas?
I can bruise and hurt
Just like anyone
If you want me complelty
Then you have to see more deeper
Everything my pride
Nothing to hide


I'll confess all my mistakes
The one's I'll be most judged for
Judgement day will see my fate declared
But in the life I'll let you decide
At my weakest, when life is bleakest
You will see everything that I fear the most
I cannot place someone in my heart
If they cant accept what tears me apart
I can feel so weak at times
Even the light sometimes dies

You will see all that I am
You will find no other man
That I pretend to be
Nothing hidden from what you see
At my weakest, at my most bleakest
On my knees asking for forgiveness
Because you sin when you dont feel your weak
Feel the strength of admitting your weak

Late Last Night

Late yesterday night 
I saw a light shine from a window 
And as I looked again 
Your face came into sight 

I couldn't walk on 
Until you'd gone from your window 
I had to make you mine 
I knew you were the one 

Oh, I would be glad 
Just to have a love like that 
Oh, I would be true 
And I'd live my life for you 

So meet me tonight 
Just where the light shines from our window 
And as I take your hand 
Say that you'll be mine tonight 

Oh, I would be so glad 
Just to have a love like that 
Oh, I would be true 
And I'd give my life for you 

So meet me tonight 
Just where the light shines from our window 
And as I take your hand 
Say that you'll be mine tonight

Honestly

Straightforward it’s all in the open
Across my heart
There’s. no telling truth and honesty apart
I’ve been hurt
I’ve be held
In sin and the highest regard

All that matters
Is you read my letters
And know I don’t have it in my heart
To lie to you
Honestly I love you
Time comes and time passes
I don’t know what else to feel
Just tell you what is making me happy
And why can I never feel worry

I love you and I’m saying it honesty
I love you and I’m saying it honestly
Never will cross you
Will always honor you

It feels impartial, authentic and direct
And there’s nothing else you should expect
I’m feel everything so honestly
Giving it to you slowly

There’s nothing else on my mind
Except making sure you stay mine
I’m gonna do exactly what I say
Never gonna let you slip away
Honestly we will never find another love
That can ever have the same depth or strength

I love you honestly
I love you honesty
I’m gonna do exactly what I say
Never gonna let you slip away

Honestly we will never find another love
That can ever have the same depth or strength
I love you honestly
I love you honesty
I love you honestly
I love you honestly

Cost of Obama

We only got lies for proof
Tag bodies of who we don't know
They can take the blame
And we'll only charge them the cost of changing their names

If you want unlimited healthcare
IOUs pour from Wall Street like Niagara Falls
Opening up the South of the border so out of order

And you can't take a vote
We'll just go for the throat
Silence critics with bullets of ended liberty
Got a passport but no photo to show
A birth certificate arriving after the April fools joke 

We can blame whoever we like, the media made him a Jesus case
But we can't say his name because its racist even if your black or white 

We got a few more years to count down
History channel already got the rights
He'll take his family on a permanent holiday
The wife and kids practice nearly every day 

And if we didn't vote him in
They would have said we let the racists win
But he tore down the things we loved and cherished
While little by little our freedoms he began infringing 

We lost the right to freedom of speech
When they decided our children's lessons weren't PC enough to teach 

So many people walking in circles
The pied pier got them hooked SNAP menus
I guess we only got ourselves to blame
When the best we could offer was Palin and McCain 

Kill our American dream
In too deep he reached
Tearing out a heart
Beating since 1774
He just goes out all day playing golf
While our finest are killed everyday from Kabul to the Gulf

He thinks he's another Martin Luther King
But he made a nightmare of our American dream

We got a few more years to count down
History channel already got the rights
He'll take his family on a permanent holiday
The wife and kids practice nearly every day 

And if we didn't vote him in
They would have said we let the racists win
But he tore down the things we loved and cherished
While little by little our freedoms he began infringing

He takes while your back breaks
He takes while your back breaks

White Star Nights

Waited all day but no hours passed where I felt you
Afraid I lost the touch that you only said warmed you
So tonight I'm gonna wish, In fact pray for my life
That this is a white star night

A white star night where every dream I ever concieved in my heart
Come rushing like a bullet in sight
A white star night that brings you and me alive
A white star night to illuminate our eyes into space

Its coming along, Its slow but steady
But sometimes fate isnt ready 
To show its hand so we make the best of what we got
My white star nights are why I'm sleeping in the day

White star nights, everythings alright
I dont care about any one else
Because In my heart no one is in this space

They Ran Out On You

You cannot begin to feel the weight of this world
Until you have the true love you have found
They run out on you
Theres nothing you can do
Except keep the anger and pain from hurting you more
You need a sensation like you never felt before

You have been through more wars than England
You have lost more than dreams come true
They run out on you
Your too slow to stop the beginning
And you has bliss in everything 
Dont understand the reasons why your dealt this hand

They run out on you
Every thing good
Nothing bad is understood
They run out on you
You cant catch anything but your death
Catching cold on the things you hold
