The Root Cause
Where is there ever a place for somebody like me?
Dead inside.
A shadow creeps along the riverside.
Can you even gives this creature a name?
A man with not a single claim.
A renouncement to all the shackles and chains.
Let god do his worst.
Let god do his best.
It doesn't matter because my soul is already at rest.
My hands have long been washed cleaned.
In a world so cut throat.
I'm not here to destroy.
I'm not here to shatter fragile dreams.
I'm not at war with anybody.
The complete embodiment of peace.
Wishing the best for the soon to be deceased.
Let god do his worst.
Let god do his best.
Heading down the road of nothingness.
Attachments have become nothing more then fickle frauds.
Greed is like the obese lust for just one more taste of the filthy fat freaking hog.
Just one more piece.
With a knife to spread this butter.
Just adding a little bit more flavor.
Let god do his worst.
Let god do his best.
What if the concept gets so god damn stale.
That I can't down another glass of this ale.
A sobering moment if there was ever one.
The possibility of failure of a entire world.
The negative feelings are overpowering and quite obvious.
We first fail as human beings, then we fail as creatures of this earth.
Let god do his worst.
Let god do his best.
Heres a toast to that.
Let god do his worst.
Let god do his best.
And I'm sure he will.
And heres a toast to that.
heres a toast to that, as if it was a matter of fact.
A sentence has been passed.
Its already over.
A hidden decline with veil covering those who think they're truly divine.
The words like a river keep flowing through my mind.
This wickedness is quite hard to describe.
It's everywhere, yet no where to be found.
One day we will all drown.
I keep hearing those screaming is it my turn?
An I think to myself what is the rush?
The kingdom is slowly turning to dust.
We continue to try wash away all this rust.
Only to realize too late that it was the root cause.

Heres To The Night
Heres to the night
So denied, so I lied
Are you the now or never kind?
In a day and a day love
Im gonna be gone for good again
Are you willing to be had?
Are you cool with just tonight?
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all to well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
Put your name on the line
Along with place and time
Want to stay, not to go, I want to ditch the logical
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon
All my time is froze in motion
Cant I stay an hour or two or more
Dont let me let you go
Dont let me let you go
Heres a toast to all those who hear me all too well
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye, tomorrows gone and come too soon
Too soon
Heres to the night we felt alive
Heres to the tears you knew youd cry
Heres to goodbye tomorrows gone and come too soon

Original - Time, My Worst Enemy
Time, My Worst Enemy
Keeping me away from you
Time, My Worst Enemy
Moving slowly when we’re apart
Time, My Worst Enemy
Fleeting when you are near
Time, My Worst Enemy
Battling with it daily
Time, My Worst Enemy
Stealing moments from the clock
Time, My Worst Enemy
Until you are in my arms again
Time, My Worst Enemy
Rapidly chasing us down
Time, My Worst Enemy
He will not take you this time
Time, My Worst Enemy
You are in my arms to stay
Time, My Worst Enemy
Has Lost!
Where Is She?
Where is she, I wondered, when she wasn't there.
If she's not here she could be anywhere. She could be
anywhere and not alone.
I began to imagine the worst. At every imagining
I thought I had imagined the worst, then I imagined
something even worse. It got to the point where my
imaginings no longer included her. I realized that the
worst did not encompass her. As my imaginings continued,
as worst superseded worst, making the preceding worst
only worse, I began to forget her. As worst got worse,
I forgot her more. Things were getting pretty bad, and
I had almost forgotten her completely, when she
reappeared.

Man wants money most
And uses it worst.
He wants time most
And spends it worst.
He wants things most
And waste them worst.
He wants women most

Heres Lookin At You Kid
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
The kid in the valleys got an attitude
Lean and mean, with nothin to lose
He aint uptight, he dont care no more
The girls start screamin as he hits the floor
The time is now, while the night is young
Youre on the road, wanting to run
You got to stop boy, it aint just talk, no way
So turn up the heat, and let it rock
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Look at me, I got my dancin shoes
Theres lots of women, which one do I choose
Ill place a wager, with a ten dollar bill
If the blond dont get me, then the brunette will
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid, alright
Better not tell me that Im unkind
But I dont wanna hear whats on your mind, no way
I dont need trouble, that was yesterday
I came to party, I came to play, yeah
So heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you (heres lookin at you), heres lookin at you kid
Heres lookin at you, heres lookin at you kid

Hooray For Love
Its the wonder of the world, its a rocket to the moon
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Heres to my best romance, heres to my worst romance
Heres to my first romance - ages ago
Heres to the boys Ive kissed, and to complete the list
Heres to the boys who said no!
Love, love, hooray for love
Who was ever too blase for love
Make this the night for love
If we have to fight, lets fight for love
Some sigh and cry for love
Ah, but in pa-ree they die for love
Some waste away for love
Just the same - hooray for love!
Its the rocket to the moon, with a touch of clare de lune
It gets you high, it gets you low, but once you get that glow...
Some trust to fate for love,
Others have to take off weight for love
Some go berzerk for love
Loafers even go to work for love
Sad songs are sobbed for love
People have their noses bobbed for love
Some say we pay for love
Just the same - hooray for love!

Ballad For The Lost Romantics
Ive grown sick
Ive gotten older
I finally have an audience to ignore
I can yell all I want
But you still cant hear me
Im punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can take this lightly
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what Im not supposed to
Heres to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
I might say things you dont want to hear
But someday you might care and I wont be there
No I wont be there heres to us fools
That have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow
Im punching myself out
Holding in my breath
I can yell all I want
Throwing up the words that I said to you
I always do what Im not supposed to
Heres to us fools that have no meaning
I tip my glass to you
Lets toast the night away to friends
And forget about tomorrow.

Lets drink a toast to what might have been
To all that we were, but cant be again
And lets just be thankful we parted as friends
Heres to the past, let the future begin

Oh, and heres to you wildest dreams
And heres to your everything
May your life be blessed with sweet happiness
Baby, heres to your wildest dreams
I made a promise that I wouldnt cry
You go chase your rainbows, go on reach for the sky
But come hold me close now, look deep in my eyes
Tell me you love me, then kiss me goodbye

Ill always love you and Im on your side
In whatever you do, I will take pride

The Last Shot
Last shot sure killed me
Pour another drink
Lets drink to the last shot
And the blood on the dishes in the sink
Blood inside the coffee cup
Blood on the table top
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot
I shot blood at the fly on the wall
My heart almost stopped hardly there at all
I broke the mirror with my fall, with my -
- fall-fall-fall
Fall-fall-fall
Gimme a double, give yourself one two
Gimme a short beer, one for you too
And a toast to everything that doesnt move
That doesnt move
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot
Whiskey, bourbon, vodka and scotch
I dont care what it is youve got
I just want to know that its my last shot
My last shot
I remember when I quit pretty good
See this here, this is where I chipped my tooth
Shot of vein in my neck and I coughed up a quaalude
On my last shot
My last shot
Heres a toast to all thats good
And heres a toast to hate
And heres a toast to toasting and Im not boasting
When I say Im getting straight
When I say Im getting straight
But when you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot
When you quit, you quit, but you always wish
That you knew it was your last shot

Disease Called Jealousy
I find myself becoming even more worst,
Worst then I've ever been,
Can't control it..even if I wanted to,
Why now?
When this has never seemed to be a problem before,
Never seems to fail..
Never seems to give me a break,
Always follows me around no matter where I go,
No matter what path I take...
It's just there to suffocate me,
To keep me awake,
Trying to make me aware of all the possibilities,
Even the bad ones,
Seems to only affect me when I'm finally happy again,
On cloud nine,
Then soon takes me right back down in seconds,
I can never be happy with this,
Can never be myself,
I only hope I can over come this horrible disease,
Called jealousy. -.-

Worst Person
i am a worst person
worst person who wish to kill my enemy
i want to kill them until they ask for a pity
kill them until their tears is falling
until their blood flow like a river
i want to see them screaming
screaming to me with tears of blood
blood of their own
i want to revenge for justice
justice that im asking for so long
so long that I've been to silence
so long that I'm crying as i sleep
because before i have no strength to fight
but now i found my strength
i don't have to cry as i sleep
my face will be brighten again
if i will kill them
i can taste the sweetness of a revenge
i don't have a pity with them anymore
because i am a worst person

Engulfed in a maze

Home Of The Brave
Heres to johnny with his jo
And mickeys got a wife
And heres to jerry
He has got his joyce
And me, Im shaking
In my boots tonight
For the daughters and the sons
Lost in the home of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life thats not saved
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to frank hit in some bar
In picturesque brooklyn heights
And heres to a friend who jumped in front of a train
At seven oclock one night
And another friend who thinks he lacks worth
Has disappeared from sight
Somewhere in the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life thats not saved
Heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
The stars are hiding in their clouds
The street lights are too bright
A mans kicking a woman
Whos clutching his leg tight
And I think suddenly of you
And blink my eyes in fright
And rush off to the home
Of the brave
And heres to the home of the brave
Heres to the home of the brave
And heres to the life that is saved
Heres to the home of the brave
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die some
And everyday you have to die some
Cry some and die
In the home of the brave
Home of the brave

Ramblin Boy
(tom paxton)
He was a man and a friend always
He stuck with me in the hard old days.
He never cared if I had no dough,
We rambled round in the rain and snow.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
In tulsa town, we chanced to stray.
We thought that we, we might work one day.
The boss said he had room for one,
Said my old pal, wed rather bum.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Then late one night in a jungle camp
The weather it, it was cold and damp.
He got the chills, he got em bad,
I lost the only friend I had.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
My ramblin pal has rambled on,
My ramblin boy, hes dead and gone.
If when we die, we go somewhere,
Ill bet you a dollar hes ramblin there.
And heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
Heres to you, my ramblin boy,
May all your ramblin bring you joy.
May all your ramblin bring you joy.

Take a Chance
Contrite, contained, controlled;
Now it’s too late. I’m old.
I dared not fail,
But dared to be stale.
What a sad story told.
The only real way to advance
Is to tear down those walls…take a chance.
If you fail, the worst that you’ll do
Is learn something else about you.
Whether it’s money, power or romance,
Take a look and then take a chance.
Failure, like success, has a dual rendition;
A sad subtraction or awesome addition!
Try something new that will enhance,
And feel your mind and heart dance.

Funeral
So tonight I will toast at your funeral.
Because we knew this wouldn’t end well.
Lately I’ve began to look and see.
That we are lost in our own history.
Times will change and lives will spend
Harvests will come and wounds shall mend
Hearts will blaze with the past no more,
We’ll seek the future, but it wont come
I ask for peace yet receive none,
And now the present has come undone
Now time has shown itself to be a demon that’s cursed
And yet we know that we still haven’t seen the worst.
I walked along and couldn’t tell
That my sorrow dies with every word.
Truthfully is say no more, and with a smile I toast….at your funeral.
