How Will I Fall Asleep Tonight?

How will I fall asleep tonight?
My mind just races so.
Can I desensitize myself to life
and allow my mind to go
to a place of peace and rest?
Or has God allowed this to happen to me
because it is my test?

I search for answers that do not come.
They’re lost inside of my mind.
I struggle with this on each new day
but the answers are left behind
in some faraway place that beckons me
but I’m never able to find.

I will try again to sleep tonight
and put my thoughts away
at least until I can find some rest
to face another day.

Peace

there's a place that i know where the sycamores grow
and daffodils have their fun
where the cares of the day seems to slowly fade away
and the glow of the evening sun
peace when the day is done
if i go there real late, let my mind meditate on everything to be done
if i search deep inside, let my conscience be my guide
then the answers are sure to come
don't have to worry none
when you find a piece of mind
leave you worries behind
don't say that it can't be done
with a new point of view
life's true meaning comes to you
and the freedom you seek is one
peace is for everyone
peace is for everyone
peace is for everyone

Its Over

And I didnt think about
All the ways I hurt you and myself
And I hide
Wouldnt say a thing to you
I keep it to myself and my mind
I cant stand without you
And I wont find the answers when youre gone
But its over to you
And I cant find the answers when youre gone
And its over to you
And you cant find the answer where you are
And you know
(and you know)
I need you now
This aint easy to admit
And no one needs to know
What goes on behind the door in my room
Im peeking through the walls in my mind
And I cant stand without you
I wont find the answers when youre gone
But its over to you
And I cant find the answers when youre gone
And its over to you
And you cant find the answers where you are
I will tear you down
I will tear you down
To get into the world you wanted
Im kicking through the wall
No one can believe in things that never change
[chorus]
And its over to you
And I cant find the answers when youre gone
And I cant find the answers when youre gone
And I cant find the answers when youre gone

The Chronicles Of A Day Stranded In Nature Part 5 Resist Even Out Here

Resist... resist with all my strength
Sometimes i find it hard to resist
I find myself thinking thoughts not be thought
It seems that to not think in this way makes my mind twist
This battle has been fought
Many times before
Yet the thoughts that are there to abhor
Not to surrender to... they're pleasurable O
As i grind my toes inside my shoe
And steady my jaw I resist the urge
And thoughts of the other... I wish to purge
These thoughts of any candidate for my wife
The one with which i spend my life
I must resist even when I rest
And I cannot let my guard down even after a hard test
They plague and pervade my mind
Though I like these thoughts... I still must find
Some peace from them, because for me they
Often are evil... how fey
Resist...resist... with all my mind

Peace be with you (Latin-Pax Vobiscum)

Oh God! I need a quiet place,
Where flows the nectar of peace,
Not that kind of dead peace,
In the grave, one finds with ease.

I went to the Himalayas Mountain,
But peace there was no certain,
As the solitude tore my mind,
A little peace when I tried to find.

I heard good spiritual lectures,
Those from eminent preachers,
For peace, I left no place unturned,
But with a perturbed mind I returned.

Tell me, oh God, that unknown place,
Where lies that elusive peace,
What I need, now I can find,
So, I’ll have peace of mind.

God answered, “Hey you fool,
First learn to keep yourself cool,
Don’t search elsewhere out,
But dive deep into your heart.”

“Peace isn’t an object that lies outside,
But it’s a feeling that’s generated inside.
Learn to cultivate peace in your heart.
To enjoy this peace, better you now start.”

“Know this I’m in your heart.
I fill it up with peace quite a lot.
This divine peace when you merit,
No need to go elsewhere for it.”

Seek And Ye Shall Find

He was choosing to die, because he could not cope.
He was choosing to die, because he lost all hope.
He felt that family, friends, and GOD had abandoned him
Because he was living in mortal sin.

The loneliness that he had locked up inside
And the loneliness that he tried to hide
Was tearing him apart, for the pains
Just stayed dwelling in his heart.

But GOD works in mysterious ways
For he will give you something tomorrow
And take something away today.
All that he gives, is in his plans
To see the faith that you have inside
And if you search and try to find.

All the answers lie within ourselves
Just like the emotions, in our hearts it dwells.
The LORD said: SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND
For the answers come at the right place and time.

So the LORD took away his pains and cleared his mind
And showed him that patience is a virtue
That we all have inside, and that it may tend to hide.

Now he is back on track, and he does not
Allow the negativity to attack.
He now walks with a smile on his face
For he was touched with GODS grace.

And if you was to ask him why?
He will say: SEEK AND YE SHALL FIND

In My Mind

Album : Silencer (2001)
In my mind, in my mind a world of enchantment
Being sung through my mind
In my mind, visual enhancement
And I find myself in a red painted barn,
A million stars they pick me up and spin me
CHORUS
And now I am floating in a land of confusion
Or is it reality or just an illusion
And nothing makes sense, no start and no end
When you get more is when you get bored
In my mind, in my mind
Turning the handle and it's starting to stain
In my mind burns like a candle
And the wax tells a fairy tale
My heads for sale
I'm swimming through the hail
REPEAT CHORUS
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
In my mind, (why can't you find yourself another place to rest...) in my mind, in my mind
In my mind, in my mind, in my mind
In my mind I see a red painted barn,
A million stars they pick me up and spin me
And now I am floating in a land of confusion
Or is it reality or just an illusion
And nothing makes sense, no start and no end
Cos when you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get something
(Why can't you find yourself another place to rest...)
Cos when you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get something
(Why can't you find yourself another place to rest...)
When you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get bored
When you get more is when you get something

Off & On

Do you hide from the way you feel inside?
Do you rage?
Can you turn the page in time?
If its on your mind its real
Do you take the thrown away?
Try to find a place to stay sometimes?
Thought Id try it for a while
Justify the only reasons why I try
Too late tonight
Too tired to fight with you
cause its off and on
Just another song
I dont want to hear no more
Do you fight what you know is right sometimes?
Do you find any peace of mind sometimes?
If its on your mind its real

A Dangerous Mind

I'm Seaching For Answers
Cause Something Is Not Right
I Follow The Signs,
I'm Close To The Fire
I Fear That Soon You'll Reveal
Your Dangerous Mind
Chorus
It's In Your Eyes, Whats On Your Mind
I Fear Your Smile And The Promise Inside
It's In Your Eyes, Whats On Your Mind
I Fear Your Presence, I'm Frozen Inside
I'm Searching For Answers
Not Questioned Before
The Curse Of Awareness,
There's No Peace Of Mind
As Your True Colors Show
A Dangerous Sign
Chorus2
It's In Your Eyes, What's On Your Mind
I See The Truth That You've Buried Inside
It's In Your Eyes, What's On your Mind
There Is No Mercy Just Anger I Find
I Just Have To Know, While I Still Have Time
Do I Have To Run, Or Hide Away From You?

East Coast Anthem

Walkin on the streets of D.C.
on the east coast where i live
they say "whats the problem
whats with this crazy kid"
you dont like the way i walk
or the way i talk
or the way i swing my hands
you dont like the words i speak or the thought i think
and i know you'll never understand

but you know...
on the east coast we ride until we die
you know
cuz theres a place inside my mind
yeah a place you'll never find
theres a place inside my mind
we'll see today
and theres a place inside my mind
yeah a place you'll never find
theres a place inside my mind
where we'll meet today
you know...

and wouldnt it be perfect
if i could stay with you and we could
change a thing or two
we'd change a thing or two
we would change the way you think
we would change the way i think
we would change the way they think
but we're not changin anything

you know...
on the east coast we ride until we die
you know
theres a place inside my mind
yeah a place you'll never find
theres a place inside
you'll see today
theres a place inside my mind
yeah a place you'll never find
theres a place inside my mind
you'll meet today

Take as Challenge

I have spent sleepless nights
To find solution and answers very right
Each time I tried for its way out
I was finding it fruitless and all about

Why at all life was to be taken as challenge
After all we need square meal and manage
Rest everything was out of reach
As people reminded me and tried to preach

I am now scared to share
As I find no place to go near
How I would try to go somewhere
If that leads me to land no where

I thought to end life with no way open
Such ideas may creep in mind all of sudden
I had not known the full potential
As life would be really proving substantial

What is there to stare at sky?
Mind think uselessly about its hollowness and fly
No usefulness can be attained with doubtful mind
It must adapt to the situation and arty to find

What we are looking for in life to carry out mission?
Is it meant for eating and spending time with confusion?
Is there anything to do other than to think endlessly?
Or come in terms with real life and spend it happily

We may breathe as long it is granted by almighty
Nobody is allowed to end it for the fear of poverty
Many more hurdles can make life miserable
Here it may be seen as real danger with trouble

It will be cowardice act if life is ended in failure
On the contrary, steps would have been take n to make it sure
No one here is so sure about his life game
One must live it lavishly with forceful claim

3 Leaf Loser

BITING THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU
LYING TO THE VOICE INSIDE
REACH OUT TO BEG FOR SOMETHING
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
FEEDING ON SELF DESTRUCTION
WAITING TO EXPLODE AGAIN
NO SIGN OF RESOLUTION
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTION TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER MATTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW
BEND ME BEFORE I BREAK DOWN
DYING TO BE FREE WITHIN
IT'S NOT HOW YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
FORCING YOUR SELF SOLUTION AS YOU FALL INTO LINE AGAIN
WHEN WILL I FIND THE ANSWERS
THIS LIFE IS A LESSON
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTOIN TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER MATTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW
FALLING TO THE GROUND
LEFT FACE DOWN AS I RECALL THE MIRROR'S UGLY GLARE
(REPEAT 3X)
YOU DON'T NEED DIRECTION TO FIND YOUR WAY
DON'T YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW AND AGAIN
KILLING TIME
KILLING YOUR MIND OVER AMTTER
STOP AND LISTEN TO YOURSELF NOW

Self Portrait

I can see this world in a different way- from this world I hid for many years.
Riding a ship towards some other galaxy,
Though only inside of my mind-
The rain would pour down upon the real world, and
In the mid winter the snow would fall, but
Lost in some other place in time, I only saw the sun.

I was a rare bird whose wings would carry me
High above the treetops, the mountains and
Even above the highest clouds,
Traveling far away from everybody and everything that was real.
Rain, sleet and hail would fall, though all I could see was a rainbow,
Glistening within the sky, high above the mountains-
I placed no trust in the people who walked upon the ground below,
Although it hardly mattered- I could always converse with those people
Who lived within the kingdom inside of my mind.

I would board a ship, its full sails to the wind,
Carrying me towards the world of my dreams-
Today I see the world in a different way-Now I see reality,
I see reality- hunger, war and people who threaten, and
All I can do is place my hands over my eyes, hoping to shut this cruel world out.

The ship I rode to some other place has been lost somewhere in the sky and
A rare bird, whose wings are now broken, I now see the world under a different light.
Somebody took me and locked me away last night and I have become
A prisoner inside of my own mind-upon that ship with fallen sails
I feel as if I am on a pathway headed towards nowhere-

I place my hands over my eyes. Attempting to hide from all that is real,
Unable to find peace of mind, unable to find my rainbow.
I find myself alone inside of an empty room, with no windows and a door that is locked-
I converse with the voices that speak to me inside of my mind-as
These, nobody can take them away from me and
They are all that is left of my dreams…

Can't Sleep

I find myself yawning again and again,
But I can't sleep, which is a real pain.
I lie on my left side, then on my right,
But, for me, there is no sleep in sight.

Next, I turn and lie flat on my back,
But, of any sleep, there is still a lack.
I lie there, looking up at the ceiling:
Pretty drained, is how I am feeling.

I wish my system would just slow down,
But, through my mind, thoughts race round.
Feeling restless, I begin to huff and puff:
I know that, in the morning, I'll feel rough.

As a poet, my mind is still really busy rhyming,
But, when I'm trying to sleep, isn't great timing.
To try and get some sleep, I really endeavour,
But the night seems to go on forever and ever.

I am really willing my mind to take a rest,
But, night time is when my mind thinks best.
Over my sleeping patterns, I have no control:
On me, tomorrow, lack of sleep will take its toll.

As I snuggle myself down, under the covers,
My body wants one thing; my mind, another.
When lying in bed, I just want some peace:
I want all of this rhyming, for once, to cease.

Somewhere In The World

Time, changer of seasons, time will see another flower growing.
Climb over the mountains, there youll find warm winds blowing.
Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world thats what I must find.
Somewhere in the world theres a place for me in this world.
I cannot believe it, everywhere I see lonely faces.
Why have we no answers, just some more empty places?
Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world thats what I must find.
Somewhere in the world theres a place for me in this world.
Time, changer of seasons, time will see another flower growing.
Climb over the mountains, there youll find warm winds blowing.
Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world thats what I must find.
Somewhere in the world theres a place for me in this world.
Somewhere in the world there is peace of mind.
Somewhere in the world thats what I must find.

Start From The Dark

Said you were ordinary
Would not amount to much
I guess they never knew you
You found the place they couldnt touch
Said you were nothing special
Always kept to yourself
You had to fight your own way
Theres always been touch too much at stake
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Youll never pass for someone
Wholl find a place in life
you sough to take that last breath
to give away your heart and mind
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Start from the dark
What you gonna do?
Cause youre just like me
What you gonna do?
Tonight, this is where we go
To find out who we really are
Weve got nothing left to lose
Tonight, this is how we breathe
To put some strength back in our hearts
Weve got nothing left to lose
We start from the dark
Start from the dark

Out Of My Mind

In dead of night I picture all the reasons to quit
But my mind's worn out the alternatives won't fit
So I try to justify
Feeling like a domino
No matter where I lie
I'm sleeping on a volcano

So I go to the place where I know you'll be tonight and it makes it alright
And I hear that song when I see you again
It goes la da la la da da da da
And you're moving just right dancing with your best friend
Singing la da la la da da da da
You look good
You look so fine
And if I don't touch you soon
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Out of out of my mind
Out of my mind

So I've rehearsed the scene
I've lived it now a thousand times
I see you walking my way and I forget my lines
Oh but I dream of your love
And I can taste your kiss
And I try to forget the fact you don't even know that I exist

So I go to the place where I know you'll be tonight and it makes it alright
And I hear that song when I see you again
It goes la da la da da da da
And you're moving just right dancing with your best friend
Singing la da la da da da da da
You look good
Oh you look so fine
And if I don't touch you soon
I'm gonna go out of my mind
Out of out of my mind
Out of my mind baby

No peace no sleep my senses just torment me blind
I could be good tonight if you were so inclined
Take me baby

He

i was blind-he allowed me to see
i was hungry-he fed me
i was with thirst-he gave me drink
i was lonely-he accompanied me
i was in pain-he comforted me
when i was depressed-he put my mind to rest
when i am confused and in doubt and don't
know where to turn.
with faith i soon learn.

so with this in mind-search your heart and you will find
that inner most peace which takes away your grief.

now you ask me who can he be?
he is jesus
he is my savior there is no one greater.

This Town

I'm cured
When you say there's something left
It's pure
Just to know we will always be friends
I hope you find your mind and let them go
Theres nothing left to do in this town
Theres no where left to fly but on the ground
I'll reach you
It's over me
That I cannot describe it
My friends
You know that I can't hide it
Like planets
Contemplate my worlds
Painting all the colours
Running dry like me
There's nothing left to say in this town
There's nowhere left to hide but inside pride
I'll reach you
I'll reach you
Theres nothing left to do in this town
Theres no where left to fly but on the ground
I'll reach you
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight
I'm cured
When you say there's something left
When you say there's something left

There's nothing left to do in this town
There's no where left to fly but on the ground
I'll reach you
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight (I'll reach you)
Tonight (no matter were u are)
Tonight

I'll reach you
I'll reach you

Light Beckons Her

LIGHT BECKONS HER

Light beckons her

She that travailed much

Light beckons her

She that tasted life’s test in earnest

Light beckons her

She that suffered much in her years

Light beckons her

She that passed her test in flying colours

Light beckons her

She that claims all my heart’s honours

Light beckons her

She that travailed much now has repose

Light beckons her

See how the angels cuddle her in warm embrace

Light beckons her

Now rest is yours! Rest Caroline! Rest Adelanke!

For Light beckons you!

No noise with light but silence, sweet silence.

Therefore enjoy your rest, Adelanke

As Light beckons you!

I Will Believe

Im locked up in chains
For the rest of my life
Theres no one else to blame but me
The start of the days
Just the end of the night
Im feeling like Im lost at sea
Sometimes is just seems so simple
Im feeling like Im down on my knees
Sometimes like a man in the middle
I dont know my own mind
Wont you let me be
Coz I can find you
Living in my world
Dragging me round
Just like a dog on a lead
But when I find my
Own peace of mind i
I will believe
Im locked up in chains
For the rest of my life
Theres no one else to blame but me
Coz I can find you
Living in my world
Dragging me round
Just like a dog on a lead
But when I find
My own peace of mind i
I will believe
