Approaching Zero
Don't be sorry for fracturing my soul
Though it never again will be whole,
Loving you is worth the pain,
I would do it over and over again
Knowing the ending would be this,
Just so I may re-live the bliss
To try to change destinies mind,
Surely for us she would be so kind-
'Til the last dew of my breath,
I promise never to lose faith,
'Til the sands of our time wind up-
I will drink to you raising my cup,
Forgetting about the morrow
Even as I start approaching zero.

You
The sound of your tears as they hit the floor,
The love you bleed through your soul is where I belong,
Will I lose you like you have lost your heart that I seek?
Disappear from your blood before I flow in it?
Leave you breathless when you are-breathless?
I fall before you; begging your broken heart to beat,
Should I make this world disappear so that you may notice me?
You are the rising tides of my blood,
The heart within my heart,
The mind within my soul-
The image I call mine,
The being I was born to love.

Why Hearts Break
When two people are in love
They share everything they
have,
Everything changes,
Everything unhinges,
There souls are binded by God's
very hair,
Sewn together with the purest
of care,
He then cuts his wrists and lets
his blood
Run through them so they are
clad
Together becoming one entity,
Grasping immortality,
They become one with God,
A feeling greater than any
amount of gold
Haven't you heard, 'God is
love? '
The one who will never leave?
Hearts break not because they
are weak,
They break because of their
weakness-
Because their strength has left
them.

What if life is a circle?
What if life is a circle?
We die; it goes back to where it began-
Its starting line, with suppressed memories,
Déjà vu being the little we remember from these-
Whistle blows; it races to find its destinies-
And providence always giving it chance to improve,
Luckily or stupidly it exactly follows its past paths,
Remaking the same mistakes, the same right decisions,
Re-loving the same lovers, re-crying the same tears-
To complete its revolution and start again,
Until the best and worst of us make it kingdom come?

The Pain Of Loving You (feat. Dolly Parton & Linda Ronstadt)
(Dolly Parton - Porter Wagoner)
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.
You just can't stand to see me happy
Seems you hurt me all you can
Still I go on loving you
But I'll never understand.
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.
--- Instrumental ---
To love and hate at the same time
The line between the two is fine
But too has bound me heart and soul
So strong that I can't let you go.
Oh, the pain of loving you
Oh, the mis'ry I go through
Never knowing what to do
Oh, the pain of loving you.
Oh, the pain of loving you...

Death
Pain is not pain that is not
felt by the heart
Or when your soul is not torn
apart,
When you feel nothing,
You hold on to anything,
And death becomes a relief,
She brings out forgotten belief-
Never takes you whole,
She tears up your soul-
Emotions imprisoned in stone
Drip out of you one by one,
It is like taking capsules of
sorrow,
That only make you hollow;
Stealing all the smiles
Of your lifes lived miles,
You cry, you say goodbye-
And then you die.

My Heart Crashed With The Loudest Din
My heart crashed with the loudest din,
Loving you is the greatest sin,
Because the wages of it is my death,
You made my soul leave the earth,
Only now I see the stage clear,
Your heart has always been its bier,
I crack with such a pain,
Like a land that has never had rain,
But I will go without a fight
For your happiness is my might.

One Of A Kind
There we were two lonely souls
Existing from day to day
Feeling love would never
Come our way
Watching lovers share their bliss
Sadly wishing only if
Believing that we had to live
Life like this
But like a bolt of lightning
As when two stormy clouds collide
We made a joyful happening
To our lives
Now were happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Wich makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind now baby
Your love and mine
One of a kind, sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be
United love so fine
Living in love one of a kind
It feels nothing but fine
Sharing our love one of a kind
If we had a second chance
At living a second time
Wed change everything but our love
In our lives
cause like a big disaster
Lost in a never-ending night
We light a light of magic
Made everything right
Now were happy as can be
Me loving you and you loving me
Two hearts intertwined
Wich makes us one of a kind
Feeling the charge of a love evermore
Knowing that love is enough to live for
It feels so fine
Sharing love one of a kind
One of a kind, now baby
Your love and mine, such ecstasy
One of a kind, sweet darling
The only way love is meant to be

Sometimes Love Like Water Exists In Three States
Sometimes love like water exists
in three states: -
Ice- compound like a diamond,
The trust is pure,
Fresh like a blooming rose
Liquid- When the insecurity
creeps in,
Emotions uncollected like
demons,
But you hold in your breath
To keep the love from escaping.
Then comes the giving up,
This is the vapour state,
Your heart says, 'You deserve
better'
And you breath out- letting go.

My Mother's Garden
My mother owns a beautiful
garden of flowers
Where I linger watching them
bloom for hours,
My radio on, Katherine
Jenkins singing, 'The Flower
Duet'
I could explain this like a
picture but I am no poet,
Alas let me try; butterflies
showing off their colourful
wings,
The garden also has an oak
tree with hanging swings-
Roses, daisies, jasmines,
violets, hazels, the divine
camillias-
Flowers so beautiful, their
reflections more lovelier,
As the Sun appears to bud from some petal,
I breathe my first, my heart
falls off its mantle
And in the core it once lay yours takes its place-
The light of the smile that
radiates from my face...
Many wish to see angels, sirens at sea,
But I have seen you, thats all I need to see.

You Can't Lose Me
Oooh
Yeah yeah
You can't lose me
You can lose your faith in loving
You can lose the will to trust, you'll see
You can't lose me
You can lose control let loose your senses
Lose your strength lose your defenses
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
You can't lose me
You can't lose me cause I'm not leaving
You can't lose me cause I won't go
I'm gonna be there like a shadow you won't ever be alone
I'll be the sun that shines above you
All around you everywhere
I'll be there
You can lose your way, lose your possessions
Lose your mind and lose direction
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
You can't lose me
You can't lose me cause I'm not leaving
You can't lose me cause I won't go
I'm gonna be there like a shadow you won't ever be alone
I'll be the sun that shines upon you
All around you everywhere
I'll be there
You can lose your way, lose your possessions
Lose your mind and lose direction
You'll see, you'll see, you'll see
You can't lose me
You can lose your faith
You can lose your way
I'm gonna be there
This will never change
No no no no no
You can't lose me
You can lose your faith
You can lose your way
I'm gonna be there
This will never change
Oh yeah
You can't lose me...lose me

Calling Yestaday
A step forward could mean moving on,
Another-leaving you behind,
Just yesterday you loved me,
And promised my hapiness before yours always,
Today you suck it all out
Leaving me in a state beyond death,
Our love drips through my tears,
But I can't rid of the love in my blood,
I am still you but you are no longer me
Yet we are one-
Joined by an umbilical cord of love,
My mind strives to forget you,
My heart does not even try,
They chase different destinies,
I chase my own, YOU.
Why can't I live in my dreams,
Where I feel your embrace still,
Where the joy of a new day is you,
And the rising of the Sun is our lips colliding?
There is so much I could say
But I have not the words to explicitly do so,
You ripped out my heart,
Rip out my dreams too so you can see.

A Rose And A Blade Of Grass
When rain falls to the ground
from the skies,
Its the Heavens kissing the
Earth,
When they make love-
Flowers, fruits, green grasses
are the offspring,
Dont lets kill these plants,
Cutting them down, classing
them as weeds-
Taking them away from their
mothers breath
After being vivified by tears of
love from their father,
Tears of men are sacred.
The Sun does not choose where
to shine,
Must we choose what plants are
of
More value than others?
A blade of grass I pick for you
In a den full of lions,
Must surely mean more than a
rose
I pick for you in a garden full of
butterflies.

White Flag
I raise my sword to the sky
And stab out our love in my heart,
Blood drips that contains memories that are us but me,
Tears that are all of you fall down my face and I behold your reflection
In my mirror-
Love killed by the breath that gave it life,
I do not want to breathe with my lungs
After experiencing the breath of my heart-
Your soul,
I will love you even after the end of love,
And me.

Lose It All
oh no....
Take what you need
cause I can't hold my breath
say what you feel
cause I got nothing left
I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it
if its wrong or right
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall
cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway
Don't change a thing
perfect as you are
Time has a way
time is all I got
If my heart should shatter watching you
then there's one thing I would have to prove
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall
cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway
Heaven will be waiting
when I fall into your open arms
I believe you'll find me there
you'll find me there
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall (take the fall) cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway

Your mind
Don' change your mind, baby I promise everything will be alright
Don't change your mind and everything will be fine,
Loving me is right. How long can I wait for you?
Baby don't change your mind, I'm telling you loving me is right.
Don't change your mind and everything will be fine,
Loving me is right. How long can I wait for you?
Forget about the past, my love will last.........
Just don't change your mind, my love will stand the test of time
Don' change your mind, baby I promise everything will be alright
Don't change your mind and everything will be fine.
Loving me is right. How long can I wait for you?

Have a Little Faith...
I asked God for the key to happiness
He said He never locked it!
That the day I started having faith in Him,
I shall find it.
God further said:
''Faith you have, the Sun shall rise;
Faith you have, the Moon shall glow;
Faith you have, the flowers shall bloom;
Faith you have, the wind shall blow;
Would you be happy in the moment next?
That you surely don't know!
In things out of control,
so much faith you always had
What made you think, my son,
that I could ever let you feel sad?
Have a little faith in me
and all will be well
Without faith,
there's no meaning in ringing your temple bell!
When you thought you were alone,
I was with you;
When you thought you lost it all,
I had instead saved you
When you cried, you lost an opportunity to be happy
When you tried, I kept the fruit ready.
I know you love me my son and so do I
Never lose your faith in me
for I will always be there by your side, till you die.''

Broken
I believed the world was
round,
'Til I fell off the edge of your
soul,
Getting lost not to be found
Like you did not love me so
Not a tear in your eyes,
Watching my life I bleed-
And your soul black as the skies,
As I kneel and plead
My face loses luster,
I cannot be fixed
with a plaster
Was my love, to you a trophy?
Or an ingredient you used in a
ritual
To awaken your dead self?
I look into your eyes with a
brave face,
Holding in my tears, but within,
'Tis these tears I hold in-
That are drowning my soul.

Play
day after day
I let you down
promise you to change
then change my mind
and every time I promise you
it will all be fine
it won't be like this next time
the days you wait
turn into years
always wait
helpless tears
hopeless nights
and all the fears
it will always be like this
you give me everything you have
hoping it will someday be enough
to melt my heart
to make me fall in love
day after day
I let you down
promise you to change it all
then change my mind
and every time I promise you
soon be fine
it won't be like this next time
but tonight we play I think
the final set
I push to hard
and you crack
walk away
don't look back
this time you've really gone
you give me everything you have
knowing it can never be enough
my heart's too old
too hard
too cold
for you to love

Going
Breaking it all down.
Just look around.
A life so quaint.
A blotch of paint here and there.
Painting a portrait out of thin air.
Oh where did you come from?
Where are you going?
Without ever really knowing.
Is this really how its gonna be.
So hard to see.
The glassed fogged by a change in temperature.
Heat rising and falling.
Emotions forever turning.
Were just churning the same sickness over and over again.
Oh where did you come from?
Where are you going?
Without ever really knowing.
Walking among the shadows.
A pact with devils.
Toss everything aside.
Take another, take a better ride.
Follow the motion of the oceans tides.
Eventually the chaos will subside.
Then again I will ask,
oh where did you come from?
Where are you going?
Without ever really knowing.
Look at that. It has start snowing.
Water crystallized and compromised.
Green skies.
A bitter wind grabs the skin.
Being ripped within.
I can already see the end.
Every move that can and will be made.
We are destinies slave.
Oh so brave.
But in a jaded sense.
How can it benifit me.
What a diease.
Another sneeze from a life deformity.
Oh where did you come from?
Where are you going?
Without ever really knowing.
Without ever really knowing.
Going, going forever going.
Do you have a map?
Are you bound to a contract?
Is there something you lack?
Just what is it that got you moving in zig zag.
Are you crossing the alps too just to get to other side.
Is it another promise land in which we must all make our stand?
Is it, is it, is it?
Oh where did you come from?
Where are you going?
Without ever really knowing.
Without ever really knowing.
Going, I am going, going, gone.

Hearts Apart
One blink, a single breath separates you and i,
I weep, never imagined i possessed so many tears
you lie six feet under, our soul disjointed.
You have taken all of me, why not too this heart?
It lies with me, void, consumed by mysery
its every beat, a grasp at fading memory.
Everyone tells me that time heals all, even you.
When we meet in another life, pass past me,
For my spirit will not survive an encore of this.
On that day, forgive me for breathing without you,
Goodbye forever; rest in peace.
