Wall of Fear, Honesty and Religion
How did you break through?
It was fear that protected me
It was my wall of honesty
It crumbled like it built out of nothing but dirt
Brought upon all kinds of hurt
The unspoken to even the closest friends
I could never truly let anyone in
Was it pride?
Was it the lack of understanding?
Names can never brand me
Because I know of so much worse
Even as I say what could of happen
Help wasn't really what I needed
It was what I believe
Held together with ropes so strong
A mental brick wall
But even the strong sometimes fall
How do I build it again?
I no longer fear it
The truth holds my own conflictions and contradictions
If I was psychologist, I'd be scared
I am over analyzing again
But it can't be helped
Especially when I'm feeling like this
Understanding is all I got
And some days its just not enough
But I still pull through
I always do
Because I built the morals to which I adhere and follow
It would bring happiness to most
But all it does is relieve the pain
That would otherwise drive me completely insane
Religion has made me sick
Because of what happen
I went on with an idea
That could be found and followed as I lay the foundation
That was one of my revelations
I mixed rules with an unnamed god
Karma seemed so much better then heaven
Even the pegans 3 fold belief stuck
Mix and match what I believed was right
Then I put it under a candle light

Foolish Pride
When Im hurt then I come on strong
I wanna break down
But I just keep it in
Being too strong is a weakness, girl
cause when you fight the world
You know whos gonna win
And you say I wont look you in the eye
Its like talking to a wall
But a wall can crumble down
Yeah theres something thats deep inside
Thats gotta be tough
Whenever youre around
Ive got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
Yeah Ive got this foolish pride
You make me feel like the livin end
But the end came quick
And made me wanna die
So I played like I didnt care
Didnt mess my hair
Believe me I dont know why
Ive got this foolish pride
And pride goes before a fall
Yeah Ive got this foolish pride
If I wanted I colled have fooled em all
Thats great til tomorrow when Im all alone
You know the truth comes out in the end
When the fools start falling they need their friends

Don't Burn The Bridge
I am a man who travelled everywhere
Holding mirages made of hair
Mansions of silver, women of gold
Well, all I had was the tale I told
I've been a wanderer, I can let go
But you would do better to stay
Don't burn the bridge
That brought you over
Or you'll be travelling all your days
I had no family, I had no real friends
I had a lover who more then just pretends
She played a mind game
I played it too
When you're in love, those're the things you do
I've been a loser, I've won the game
I've had power, fortune, and fame
Don't burn the bridge that brought you over
For you're a poor man just the same
Poor man
Poor man
Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all
That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall
And then you came and built a bridge where once there was a wall in my life
I can cross over, live on the other side
I was a rover, until I met my bride
She has the magic, I have the dreams
With her, my life is really all it seems
There's no illusion, this is for real
And I'm so satisfied, deep within
You are the bridge that brought me over
And you are everywhere I've ever been
Your man
I'm your man
Yes, I'll admit I've burned my bridges one and all
That I have turned my back on some who tried to see me fall
And then you came to build a bridge where once there was a wall
Came and built a bridge where there was a wall
Came and built a bridge where there was a wall
In my life
In my life

I Lost My Life To Fear
Fear in the midst of the night
Fear in broad daylight
Fear of what could happen
Fear of what did happen
Fear insinuating my every day
Fear controlling all that I say
Fear governing me as I sleep
Fear deriding me as I weep
Fear that puts my sanity at steak
Fear that prays for me to break
Fear that strikes me with perplexity
Fear with a recipe of complexity
Fear that deprived me of exhilaration
Fear that admitted me to frustration
Fear that is prevailing my mind
Fear that manipulates humankind
Fear that was unveiled in my DNA
Fear that still holds my life today

I Built This House
I built this house from its foundation
It's foundation I made it strong
So that it can't be shaken
By anything
I built this house
On love
Not on lies
I built this house
I turned it into a home
And that was my vision
I built this house
Just like a wise woman
A woman who builds a house on a foundation of a rock
Not like a foolish woman
Who builds a house
On a sand
And then turns and destroys it with her hands
I won't allow anything to break it down
To break my children and my husband
With nonsense
With arguments, alcohol and unfaithfulness
So devil you better live
Cause I built this house
On top of the rock Jesus

Still Loving You
Music :rudolf schenker
Lyrics:klaus meine
Time, it needs time
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can bring back your love someday
I will be there, I will be there
Ill fight, babe, Ill fight
To win back your love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, only love
Can break down the wall someday
I will be there, I will be there
If wed go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I cant get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
Im loving you
Try, baby try
To trust in my love again
I will be there, I will be there
Love, our love
Just shouldnt be thrown away
I will be there, I will be there
If wed go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Your pride has built a wall, so strong
That I cant get through
Is there really no chance
To start once again
If wed go again
All the way from the start
I would try to change
The things that killed our love
Yes, Ive hurt your pride, and I know
What youve been through
You should give me a chance
This cant be the end
Im still loving you
Im still loving you, I need your love
Im still loving you

Stone by Stone
I built this wall around my heart
and stone by stone it falls apart
I built this wall to keep you out
the pain, the loss, and all the doubt
I built this wall around my heart
and stone by stone it falls apart
brick by brick it is destroyed
tear by tear i realize
but, I built this wall to keep you out
and stone by stone it fell apart
all the pain, the loss, the doubt
goodbye to that wall around my heart
for stone by stone it fell apart.

The Twin Towers
September 11,2001
The Twin Towers©
I was built of steel, I was built of stone,
I was built by men of flesh and bone.
They built me strong they built me tall,
A symbol of strength for one and all.
And from my ramparts you could see,
The city of modernity.
Thousands came and gazed in awe,
All marveled at what they saw.
Commerce was my bailiwick,
I helped the world when it was sick.
My congregations came from afar,
They made their fortunes and were my star.
All races, creeds, and religions were,
Under my roof all equal without a slur.
But things are not always as simple as they seem,
For sometimes men, can be obscene.
Then one fine day when the sun shone strong,
Something came that did not belong.
Some men of flesh and blood and bone,
Sent planes with fuel and speed alone.
They hit me once, they hit me twice,
Fires burned and I was filled with strife.
I tried to stand I tried to mend,
But it all was futile in the end.
I once was strong I once was tall,
Till one day I became nothing at all.

Build
Clambering men in big bad boots
Dug up my den, dug up my roots
Treated us like plasticine town
They built us up and knocked us down
From meccano to legoland
Here they come with a brick in their hand
Men with heads filled up with sand
Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Whistling men in yellow vans
They can and drew us diagrams
Showed us how it all worked it out
And wrote it down in case of doubt
Slow, slow, quick, quick, quick
Its wall to wall and brick to brick
They work so fast it makes you sick
Its build
Its build a house where we can stay
Add a new bit everyday
Its build a road for us to cross
Build us lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
Its build
Down with sticks and up with bricks
In with boots and up with roots
Its in with suits and new recruits
Its build

We Built
- We build a wall never to fall cause we wanted to be alone.
- We build a love so strong never to be torn or ripped apart cause we knew it wasn’t wrong.
- We build a friendship with a solid foundation, with solid rocks, in a ship that never sinks but floats cause we knew it would stand forever its course.
- We build a wall never to collapse, crumble or fall cause all we wanted was to be alone.
- We build a love so strong and bold never to be torn, ripped apart, a sworn love, cause we knew it wasn’t wrong.
- We build a friendship with a solid foundation based on honesty and trust, built with solid rocks, in a heavenly ship that never sinks but floats as though you’re walking on air cause we knew it would stand forever and remain here.
And as I gaze at the clouds that forms encrypted scriptures of our blossoming love, I sigh with relief as I now believe in a love everlasting, my mind spins as dizziness settles in, I’m in for a surprise and then you descended from the skies.
Oh I smile get confused for a while, I can’t believe my naked eyes, you a friend of mine now soon to be a lover of mine, you caught me by surprise, it was you that always ignited my heart filled it up with desire, you that I dreamt of at night, Still your face was unclear for a while, yes I now remember that smile and how could I forget those eyes I get lost in every time.
Then as you touched the ground with your naked feet you reached for me, mesmerized I could hardly speak-move yet still YOU-YOU moved, moved closer how could a heart beat be so loud it deafened the crowd, then you spoke out loud but in a foreign tongue I couldn’t make out, then slowly as though you were not moving kissed me in a way I could hardly make out as though you spoke while we kissed.
It was you that always ignited my heart, you a friend of mine, soon to be a lover of all time.

You a Brick wall
You a Brick wall
Around me
Imprisoned some say
'locked in'say others!
But wall stands tall around me
It protects me
When I need protection the most
I have built it
With mere thought
carefully
in passionate fires roasted
High and lofty
red brick rack
four sides fall
each holds a memory
In safe storage!
To makes me see its colour
To awaken my self pride
And arch my back
To crane my neck
To look beyond
Yet my eyes
tend to look straight
Only to see its texture fine
Happy my soul
Wishes to fly out not
No more feels
stifled within
It is accustomed
To its disappointments
Has caved in; to reality
Letting a single tear
Fall to express the anguish
The inner truth
Expressed
Yet unexpressed
For words have failed
When emotions choke
Till hope
In black robes of
A spirited raven
Comes into the window
To hop about
With its beak
scraping the edges
A new pattern to emerge
On the red brick wall
This fall
A new seasonal change
Is due
What say you?
Asks the raven…
Naughty you!
Head coquettishly cocked
To one side
I can not help smiling!

Fake hallucination from Berlin
I can hear their voices clearly, low and suffocated
I smell the fear, the whirlwind of their thoughts, unaccomplished
they can pass through, under this controlled sky tonight
whatever they find out there, they will stop this fight
I can hear my voice clearly, low and suffocated
I smell my fear, the whirlwind of my thoughts, unaccomplished
I can pass through, under this unattended mind tonight
whatever I find out there, I will stop this fight
there's a light they can see, a thin line breaking the trunk
there's a choice they can make, a simple faithful act
what will they do then? how will they build a new beginning?
no matter what, no matter how, freedom is not a sightseeing
there's a light I can see, a thin line breaking my time
there's a choice I can make, a simple faithful act to find
what will I do then? how will I build a new beginning?
no matter what, no matter how, freedom is not a sightseeing
Make it happen, let this wall fall down
make their dreams come true, raise these people from the ground
who may forgive this insane world? who may erase all the pain?
only love, only love, only love will cut this chain
Make it happen, let this wall fall down
make my dreams come true, raise me from the ground
who may forgive my insane world? who may erase all the pain?
only love, only love, only love will wash away this mourning rain

Can't Break My Fear
get out of me wanting to be
stronger than me you are not me
cause I feel and I fear whatever it is
it can't be what's me
drills out a hole inside my soul
fills out the hole I want you to go
I hear you, I fear you, you're in me
caught in myself like nothing else
deep in my cells you ring the bells
what I feel's as cold as steel whatever it is
it's my achilles heel
can't break my fear
I go out to drink don't have to think
can't find a link, feel like a sink
just to feel none is real whatever helps
to wash the pain away
starting to doubt what I'm about
inside a cloud can't bleed you out
I see you, I fear you, you're not me
hang on so long, until you're gone
I know you're strong and that you're wrong
but I feel and I fear whoever you are
you cut the deepest scar
can't break my fear
cause I am scared! I am scared! I am scared!
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am... scared!!!
can't break my fear

Who Put The Fear In Here?
I watched a man tell his boy
About the pains of reality
Then I watched that child grow into a soldier
Defending contradictions and paving the way...
Who put the fear in here?
I watched a miracle in the making
Then had a scientist tell me that i
Couldnt live without breaking,
My habits of fearlessness and crying for the world...
Who put the fear in here?
Was it you, who finally shed the tear?
Someone told me that two lovers bound
Could put another sun in the sky
If you believed it, thered be
Twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
If I believed it, thered be
Twice the light and no one would be scared to fly
I thought I knew exactly what scared me
And I would never have to run again.
So I went to sleep and began dreaming
Of perfect lives in paradise
Woke up and started screaming...
Who put the fear in here?
Who put the fear in here? oh no...
Was it you who finally shed the tear?
Then who put the fear in here?

This Must Be Heaven
Jon lind, jeffrey cohen & nicky brown
When I was much younger
It used to happen every night
I had a dream about a city dressed in lights
And there were friends of mine
I saw them time after time
But I never knew their names
And darling I swear
I saw you there
I know it sounds insane
Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when youre near
(chorus)
This must be heaven
Have I found it what Ive been looking for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door
How could I have doubted
I guess I must have lost my place
You turned on the light
And I saw my life
Reflected in your face
Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy oh yeah
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when youre near
(repeat chorus)
And I always knew that there was something more
Come closer to me now
You fill me up Im overflowing
Come closer to me now
Come hold me tight and dont let go
(repeat chorus)
You fill me up girl
You fill me up and Im overflowing
This must be heaven
Have I found what Ive been living for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door
This must be heaven
Have I found what Ive been looking for
This must be heaven
And I always knew that there were something more

Hello Mr.
Hello Mr. I don't know your name
Pain is my past, but you're not to blame
My heart, I have built a wall around
No more hurt for me, I stand my ground
I'm afraid to get to know you much
It was so hard to get free, from his clutch
He kept me in terror and fear many years
There was never any happiness, only tears
It's so hard for me to ever trust again
All I can do for now, is be your friend!

Frustration for justice
The days I’m passing is completely injustice
The fear for no mistake
The fear for we believed in truth
The fear for the merit holder
The fear for knowing justice
The fear for the past I touched as a truth
The fear for the justice human being
The fear for helping others with sacrificing
Then all days long I have done for justice is just fear! !

I give and I give
I give and I give
Over and Over again
Til it hurts me so bad that i juss wanna die
My happiness only lasts but so long
No matter what brings it on it always fades away
I dont understand why is it here and I cry
Over and over again
I just want the hurt and the pain to go away
I want it to all just dissappear
I can't take it anymore
I feel like i'm going crazy
Being strong is hard
It's a tedious job
Trying to help others
nd then getting stabbed in the back
Is a painful process
And if it happens over and over
It will drive you insane
Please I cry make the pain go away
My emotions affeect those around me
So much that they dont even want to be around me
My defensive walls are crumbling around me
Theyre crashing down with a loud thud
And those closest to me are stuck underneath
They want to escape my misery
But they want to be there for me
In the end all I can say is go leave me
I'll survive on my own
Cuz i dont want u to hurt
becuz of my pain and misery
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I don't know what i did this time
