Someone 75
Have you ever felt an urge
within?
Coming, going, returning
again.
Looking at someone,
knowing it's them
Realizing, you can't win.
Accidently meeting on a
clear day
Being forced to look
away.
Wanting to reach, and
hold
Thinking you will be left
cold.
Looking back, to where
you've been
Knowing you're losing
something
You'll never find again.

Into The Darkness
I feel helpless waiting.
I feel helpless waiting.
Could this all be the end?
Could this all be the end?
It's all coming down all at once.
It's all coming down all at once.
Am I losing you?
Am I losing you?
No Way Out!
No Way Out!
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
you're going to make this work
you're going to make this work
Into the darkness...not knowing at all....
Into the darkness...not knowing at all....
you're going to make this work
you're going to make this work
Are you out there waiting, wondering about me?
Are you out there waiting, wondering about me?
Never felt so alone as I do now.
Never felt so alone as I do now.
No way out!
No way out!
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
you're going to make this work
you're going to make this work
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
I'm just trying to make this work
I'm just trying to make this work
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
Until this all crashes down, I'll hold on.
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
Into the darkness...Not knowing at all
Until this all crashes down....
Until this all crashes down....

Knowing
There is a danger of knowing too much
knowing too much danger
Crossing a road without looking
Taking a risk with your cooking
A danger in knowing
There is a danger in knowing too much
Having digitalised lives
synched to computer
GOOGLED
There is a danger
Is there a danger in knowing?
Too much danger?
Too much knowing?
Too much?
we have/are becoming
More like a shopping mall
Packed full of brands
And gadgets
our apps additives
There is a danger of losing your child
In a shopping mall
Losing your self
In the underground
A danger in knowing
A danger in looking
The sign
The times
Are a changing
A danger of unseeing
Unliving
A danger of touching the edge of extinction
Without feeling
Bottled emotions
Formaladehyde Brains
Mask for a face
Stone for a heart
There is on a lighter note
A danger in eating my cooking
Knowing too much
Too soon
Too late
or a danger of knowing nothing
Simply eating what's arrived on your plate

I Have Gone Long, Long Time
I have gone long, long time
Not knowing where to find you-
Peace was never meant for me,
Only heartache and tears-
I have gone long, long time
Without you, darling,
Losing hope that we'll ever
Be together,
But I walked alone and stayed
The course-
I have gone long, long time
Thinking of you, knowing
It was you who would be
There in the end-
The light that would lead me
Back home.
I have gone long, long time
Loving you and missing you,
Knowing well that the path
Would be winding and filled
With pain.
I have gone long, long time
Through the rivers of solitude,
Through the nights of despair,
Through the crowds of anonymity-
Just to hear your voice crystal clear,
Just to touch your lips and feel
The warmth of your hands,
Embracing me.
I have gone long, long time
Through the hills of pain
And the deserts of banality,
Through the corridors filled
With empty laughter and ignorance.
I have gone long, long time
Just to tell you I love you, darling.

Sitting Alone On A Beach
Looking out onto this sea
A Silence sweeps over me
Alone upon this beach
I sit and cry
Remembering all the good times
Knowing I'll never see your face
Knowing I'll never feel your touch
Knowing I'll never hear your sweet voice
I cry some more
Wishing you would come back
Wanting to turn back the clock
On this empty beach
I sit alone and cry

One Step Closer
I'm 'round the corner from anything that's real
I'm across the road from hope
I'm under a bridge in a rip tide
That's taken everything I call my own
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
I'm on an island at a busy intersection
I can't go forward, I can't turn back
Can't see the future
It's getting away from me
I just watch the tail lights glowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
Knowing, knowing
I'm hanging out to dry
With my old clothes
Finger still red with the prick of an old rose
Well the heart that hurts
Is a heart that beats
Can you hear the drummer slowing?
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
One step closer to knowing
To knowing, to knowing, to knowing

The Way
THEY MADE UP THEIR MINDS
AND THEY STARTED PACKING
THEY LEFT BEFORE THE SUN CAME UP THAT DAY
AN EXIT TO ETERNAL SUMMER SLACKING
BUT WHERE WERE THEY GOING WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING THE WAY?
THEY DRANK UP THE WINE
AND THEY GOT TO TALKING
THEY NOW HAD MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO SAY
WHEN THE CAR BROKE DOWN THEY STARTED WALKING
WHERE WERE THEY GOING WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING THE WAY?
ANYONE CAN SEE THE ROAD THAT THEY WALK ON
IS PAVED WITH GOLD
IT'S ALWAYS SUMMER
THEY'LL NEVER GET COLD
THEY'LL NEVER GET HUNGRY
THEY'LL NEVER GET OLD AND GREY
YOU CAN SEE THEIR SHADOW
WANDERING OFF SOMEWHERE
THEY WON'T MAKE IT HOME
BUT THEY DON'T REALLY CARE
THEY WANTED THE HIGHWAY
THEY'RE HAPPIER THERE TODAY
THEIR CHILDREN WOKE UP
AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THEM
THEY LEFT BEFORE THE SUN CAME UP THAT DAY
THEY JUST DROVE OFF AND LEFT IT ALL BEHIND'EM
BUT WHERE THEY GOING WITHOUT EVEN
KNOWING THE WAY?

Perfect Summer
their was a time I knew what you were thinking
I could even pick up on what you were feeling
But these days I don’t know you
I couldn’t even guess
Not really knowing who you are
Not knowing what to expect
But loving you
Caring for you
With every fibre of my being
knowing that I should let go
Knowing that what I based it on
Is no longer their
No longer exists
But being unable to let it go
Unable to not care about you
I wish I could go back to a time
A time when you weren’t in my life
Or back to that one summer
The summer were it all clicked
The summer it was all perfect
That blissful summer were all my worries fell away
I felt safe and content
And thought I would always be happy
But then the summer ended
Reality hit again
I started work and responsibility hit
And things were never the same again

And We Never Saw Each Other Again
Is it an era to remember my dear,
Or maybe a moment to erase and clear,
The days that carried all moments of glee,
The days that pain came along free,
I remember you waving me in the bus,
I remember when we were cross,
The flying birds, it was only us,
And we never saw each other again
As much as we wanted to meet again,
Life could not offer the opportunity,
As much as we tried to hold hands,
Fate said no its a mismatch,
Good morning to the paralle lines,
We tried and eventually we got tired,
And we never saw each other again
Knowing you are there with a baby,
Knowing you can never be my babe,
Im thinking of you my old lover,
Yet im not missing you at all,
It was love by then,
And we never saw each other again
You vanished in the thin air,
Lost with a trace, I just dont want to find you,
Sleeping dogs shall be let to sleep,
It was love back then,
And we never saw each other again

Depression
Depression is …
Feeling alone
Depression is …
Knowing this will never change
Depression is …
Knowing your best isn’t good enough
Depression is…
Knowing nothing you do matters
Depression is …
Realizing your best days have gone
Depression is …
Looking forward to the end
Depression is…
Knowing no one really cares that you are looking forward to the end
Depression is…
Is knowing no one cares if you take your own life

It's In Every One Of Us
It's in every one of us to be wise
Find your heart
And open up both your eyes
We can all know every thing
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us by and by
It's in every one of us
Find your heart
And open up both your eyes
We can all know every thing
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us by and by
It's in every one of us
I just remembered
It's like I've been sleeping for years
I'm not awake as I can be
But my seeing's better
I can see through the tears
I've been realizing that
I bought this ticket
And watching only half of the show
But there's scenery and lights
And a cast of thousands
Who all know what I know
And it's good that it's so
It's in every one of us to be wise
Find your heart
And open up both your eyes
We can all know every thing
Without ever knowing why
It's in every one of us by and by
It's in every one of us by and by

I Love daniel bianchie
I love to see you smile
And I love knowing that I caused that smile
I love to see you happy
And I love knowing that I caused that happiness
I love to look into your beautiful blue eyes
And I love the way I fall into them
I love it when you hold my hand
And I love having the courage to grab and hold yours
I love to tease and torment you
And I love it when you tease and torment me
I love it when you touch me
And I love to touch you
I love rediscovering how beautiful you are each time I see you
And I love realizing how attractive you make me feel
I love wanting so badly to kiss you
And I love the way you want to take things slow
I love the fact that you still want to be my love
And I love that I want to be yours
I love so many things about you
But the most important thing is:
I Love you!

It Is In The Knowing
The getting what I want,
Doesn't get any easier.
I face obstacles on a daily basis,
Hoping to chase my wanting away.
And those obstacles presented,
Only test the strength of my patience.
However...
The knowing what I want,
Has always been for me quite easy.
And even today...
The taste of what I want,
Stays.
It is in the knowing,
That keeps me hungry...
And motivates my focus.
Not the wanting!
The wanting I've always known,
With desire to get from a doing.

The pain comes from knowing that we have never been safe, and therefore will never be safe again. It comes from knowing we can never be so ignorant again. It comes from knowing we can never be children again. Losing innocence. Remembering heaven. That was the essence of hell.

In A Windowpane
I looked into a windowpane
Last evening in a city far away
I was feelin sad and blue
I wondered then if I should really stay
Wanting someone to be with me in the light of this uncertain time
Waiting by the window for the man inside
To please make up his mind
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
I walked along the roadway to a fountain
Where lovers come to meet
A hobo walked up to me, I could tell
He didnt have enough to eat
He said, good sir you look so kind
And though the years have stripped me to the bone
It seems I am the better man
For in this place Ive never walked alone
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Where will you be, my friendly, when your
Telephone aint givin out no calls
And when the seasons come to haunt you
Will you still find springtime in the fall
And when youre on your island
Will you wave at every ship that passes by
And will you feed a hungry man
I thank you, sir,
Now Ill just say goodbye
Dont you be one who passed through but never saw
Never knowing never feeling anything
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw
Will you live your whole life through never knowing what to do
Will you be one who passed through but never saw

Lost Inside
It’s another night
Stuck in a place that we love
Sitting there with
The bright lights
Shining down blocking out
My chance for sleep
Everyone is thinking of everything
They could be doing instead
All i hear is laughing out loud
I think if im not here
I would be doing homework
Which was my only true
Lie
Coming from it all
Id rather be at a place
With no more yelling
I look ahead realizing
That this is for me
Then why do i keep
Disregarding it all
As a punishment
When it only is a place that helps me
Friends are talking laughter all around
And as chuckle to myself i could
Be doing homework one
Of the only true lies
Brought forth thinking back to the beginning
Realizing im here losing my brain
For an unlawful act of terror
Flowing excitement
Through the blood
Seeing it all
Fall away
With the
Vision slurring
And time
Disappearing altogether
Losing my life
To this excitement
As it blurs away
Taking more in just
To lose it anyway
Feeling nothing at all
Laughing at my numbness
It feels so good as i giggle
To myself thinking
All this time i could
Have been were
Im supposed to now
Staring at a grave of someone i never
Knew
Not even
Comprehending
In my brain
Im so lost in this vision
I’ve never seen
Seeing my hand shaking
But not feeling the pain
As the blood
Rides down my face
As i look over and see
It’s only a tear
Not of sadness
But out from
The body showing how
Bad its been treated
Giving up
As i go numb
Tearing away my last thought
As i look at the kid
In the casket
My eyes focusing in a blur
Looking through the eyes of the dead as it turns
Out it’s me in the casket crying
Looking for a hand
To pick me up
For now i have
Fallen so far
But no one was there
As i watch my laughter drift in the wind
Floating away
As my friends leave
They hear my
Cry of laughter
They come and see the excitement
And with there eyes they see
Me lying so still
With my hand so numb
My eyes so blind
My face so cold
How could they have stayed?
While they pull away
As the laughter has fallen
All i hear is
A cry a whimper
Shown by a poor soul
Drifting away from reality
When i look back at what
I have done
Not understanding
Wondering were i have gone and what i have done
Not finding a place i should have gone
Now that its been thrown away
More crying
Laughter will never coming again
Crying
Realizing
Im now
Gone

Losing My Balance
I think I'm losing my religion
I always read genesis and then lose the vision
Not realizing if I keep on, I won't make it to revelation
Then I got all these single friends all in the sexual relations
(I think the Christians call it fornication)
And I'm here giving advice, playing Mrs. Advisor
Knowing these boys won't live life for her
Knowing that these boys really don't love her
But love to get nectar off that pretty, little flower
And her tears falling and my digits she calling
I'm telling her don't cry, he's not worth the freedom stalling.
Yeah, he was just stalling her freedom
Telling her what not to do before the blessing come
Two weeks later, she call with a new name and age
I give a chuckle, listen to the details, and hide the rage
I think I'm losing it andI was so close to touching it
I'm cursing with my frienemies, disrespecting my mother
Walk in church Sunday bow my head like "OUR FATHER"
I'm losing my balance cuz I once had a dream
But now the future lookin like an old shirt tearin at the seam
No hope, no use
No reason to push on through
Sixteen with a baby and I'm saying congratulations?
Are you even gonna make it to graduation?
Lately I been thinking money can buy my happiness
I think I'm losing my balance
I'm hurting the ones closest to me
Smiling with the ones who ain't trustworthy
& though I know the truthI'll still continue
Cuz I'm losing myselfI know I need help
But when I start walking, I slip and stumble on insecurities
Trip over judgment
Walk backwards from fear
I'm trembling in protest
Cuz the good life seems so near
But I'm losing my balance.

Wanting
She can't help it
The wanting of him
A simple glimpse
Across a crowd
She hides her smile
As her imagination
Goes
Into
Overdrive
Goosebumps rise
Along her flesh
Somewhere deep
A quickening begins
Her heartbeat accelerates
Her blood warms and
Begins to pulsate
As she
Holds on
Always
Yearning
Wondering
If he kissed her
Would she moan
As his mouth consumed her
Enslaved her
As his hands touched her
Caressed her flesh
His nearness makes it difficult to breathe
All of her wishes
To melt into him
Reach out and
Touch
A glimpse of her
Across a room
Leaves
Him
Wanting
Wanting to
Reach out and touch
To hold her face in his hands
Brush the tip of his thumb
Across her soft lips
Caress her skin
Let his hand travel
Travel
Across her throat
Feel her pulse
As it glides
To the back of her head
Grab a fist full of raven hair
Tilt her head back
Look into her languid eyes
Her parted lips
And trace kisses along her flesh
As she forgets
How to breathe
Their wanting of each other
Is hidden well
In the ease and flow
Of a crowded room
Maybe neither knowing
Neither certain
Both aware of the other
Both
Wanting.

When she stood at the empty grave
When she stood at the empty grave
Mary was full of grief and astonished
but when Jesus came to her
she wanted to embrace Him
but He warned her
and speechless she then stood next to Him,
seeing the bright light coming from His eyes
knowing that He leave to go to His Father
knowing that His love is greater than all things
and realizing on that day
that His love circles out to everyone on earth
as salvation against all evil
and for her anguish that moment was healing
while she stared at His enraptured beauty.

We Can Stop The Hurting
What has happened to our town
Theres people sleeping on the ground
Cold and lost, they fear the night
Left alone, theyll lose the fight
Hadnt we better reach for more than just a dime
Shouldnt we try to talk that boy out of his crime
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved
Chorus:
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
We could stop the hurtin for awhile
If we found a way to reconcile
We could stop the hurtin
Families livin in their cars and kids run numbers out of bars
Knowing pride wont pay the bills, men work jobs beneath their skills
Hadnt we better hand out more than just a line
Shouldnt we try to find solutions with our minds
Havent you had it knowing nothings getting solved
Maybe wed better, better get involved
