Clothing the Ego
if there is anything
that needs to be clothed
it is one's ego
leave it naked, running wild,
it would ruin the whole peace
and make a nuisance
of the person with it
get hold of it, steady it,
then cloth it and set it
in a proper mould
so that no tea can be spilt
when it rears its head
only after that can we talk
about clothing the man

How To Ruin Everything
There's something wrong with me I don't know
if it's not just inside my head
It feels like I'm walking through a dream
I still remember what you said
I know that everything will be alright
It's going to work out for the best
I think there must be something better still
It isn't really so far-fetched
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
It's hard to trust in somebody else
responsible for your success
But in the end I know it's up to me
I live my life with no regrets
So tell me everything I want to hear
What do you like about me best?
I've been a king and I've been a fool
I'm not about to give up yet
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
I've had enough of the promises
I've had enough of empty threats
Some people wait for opportunity
Why should I wait? I haven't yet
I want to burn down the prejudice
I want to destroy the evidence
Is all that really matters what you're worth?
Then what is it worth for your two cents?
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything
You know I'll go running out
and ruin everything

Poet-hood
strip yourself naked,
look at your fine contours
and look for what you like and dont
giving no ground for self flagellation
pride or to wedge themselves in
giving yourself a rawness of yourself
so that you feel yourself another person
to yourself, so that you could even talk to him
like another person, like you know how to please
him, make him cry, laugh, love and hate you
now read through the lines that you have written
can you relate to them like the naked person
you have encountered in front of the mirror
without fear or favour so that the lines talk to you
like another person; so that you know whether it is lying
or speaking the truth, so that you can shut him out when required
until you can do that, you have not reached poet-hood

Naked
So you want me to take it off
Just to see whats
Underneath my cloth
Ill show you Im every
Inch a man
Measure all that you
Think you can
Im more than what
Meets the eye
Flesh n blood is
Often a white lie
By the cover you misjudge
The book
Open your mind and take
Another look
Naked, and Im unashamed
Naked, with no one to blame
Naked, ya you want the truth
Naked, heres my birthday suit
Naked, naked, naked, naked
I pretend to be not anyone
Except me and my imperfections
There is nothing i
Expect of you
That you wouldnt
Expect of me, too
Chorus
Will you excuse me for my ignorance
cause I can see only one
Difference
Those of you who seek to find
While all the others choose
To walk n talk blind

And In My Head
I’m in serious need
I feel totally lost
And if I’m asking for help
It’s only because, deep inside of me
I am locked in, crying to be free
And in my head,
All the things ever said and
All the images ever seen
Are running, running but
Never leave my head
He said she said
They did he did she did
See this see that
Over and over
My minds broken vinyl track revolver
I keep asking myself how,
Wondering why it won’t leave my head
I’ve had enough, I close my eyes
And I see even more I can’t block it out
I cry, I need to be free fly without me
And in my head,
All the things ever said and
All the images ever seen
Are running, running but
Never leave my head

Can't We Just Sit Down
Cold and lonely night, you don't have to leave at all
A car rolls up outside on time, a moment from your call
And handshake seems more fitting than a kiss
Such a shame that you and i should have to end like this
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Surely you can ask the better way
Strange that you're the one so set on leaving
And i'm the one who said last night that it was all too late
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and i can talk it out
Tonight stay somewhere warm, they say it's gonna freeze
You may not find a place at all, so be sure and take your keys
I can almost taste the silence now
Does it really matter still,
Who was wrong, who let who down
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Who knows, maybe in a little while
We'll forget our pride, and the things we said last night
And maybe you and i can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and i can talk it out
Hold on, hold on
Surely you and i can make it right
Hold on, hold on, yeah
Can't we just sit down and talk it over
Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on

Hey Now What You Doing
Hey now what you doing
Don't go down the road to ruin
Look back at where you came from
Count to ten before you go wrong
You have the brightest future
Writing songs on your computer
But you couldn't walk the extra mile
And now your life is running wild
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
The days you've said to me
What is it that your eyes see
Is it love or is it hate
Banging on an opened gate
Hey now, who's that with you
What's that thing I saw him give you
Turn around don't come no closer
You took it from my shoulder holster
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
You've gotta hold your head up high
You know it's not too late to try
You've gotta lift that heavy load
You've gotta get back in control
Why don't you put that gun right down
Before you kill the love you found
Hey now what you doing (what you doing)
Don't go down the road to ruin

Hold Me For A While
Listless days of feeling insecure
Makes it even harder to endure
There's a way that you can make me smile
Only if you'll hold me for a while
Lots of speeches leave us limp and week
Darling there's no need for us to speak
You can stop my heart from running wild
Only if you'll hold me for a while
(Bridge)
Hold me

Poorness is The Thickness
How close we were once as naked kids.
How near we were then as poorly clothed.
How afar we brothers are as princely dressed.
Intimacy loosens with clothing thickening

Core of My Heart
I am a wild one
Running free
Running wild
Nobody could tame me
Nobody could reach me
Nobody could break my barrier of lust, passion, greed, desire and above all vitality.
Nobody could free my inner being
Nobody could break down the wall of pain and hurt
I had to overcome in the past
Nobody could see the real me
The person I dared to be
Until you came along
You took me right out of the blue
Simply by showing me you loved me
You fought demons to be with me
You killed wicked thoughts to hold me
You slayed dragons of desire to kiss me
You did not leave me
You climbed into my world
Swam up the channels in my heart
You unlocked the core of my heart
Accomplished to pick the pieces of my shattered soul
You saw me for who I was
Not for person I portrayed to be
It was never a game for you
I falling deeper and deeper into your arms
I look at you smiling at me
With love and respect
I can only wonder why
Is it is you that is holding me?
I can only thank you
For showing me the real person I am
The true companion I am
and
For bringing out the core of my heart

Running Back
Im a fool now that its over
Can you guess my name?
I make my money singing songs about you
Its my claim to fame
When they say its over
Its not all over, theres still the pain
Id come running
Id come running back to you again
Oh Id come running
Id come running back to you again
If I said I was sorry
Would you still leave me?
I never thought youd go till you did
Believe me
When they say its over
Its not all over completely
cause Id come running
Id come running back to you again
Yes Id come running
Id come running back to you again
I miss that girl
The show is over
And we must all go home
Just leave me by myself
Ill be alright here on my own
If its all over, its all over
And Im all alone
And Id come running
Id come running back to you again
Dont you know Id come running
Id come running back to you again

Running Wild
I move as fast as I can
I like to get around
Im crazy like a madman
My feet dont touch the ground
I move amongst the night life
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know Im running wild
Dead or alive theres nothing
That bothers me at all
I take on all comers
They back off or they fall
They raise their hands to stop me
I laugh and I defy
Cause whats the point in living
Unless youre living wild
No chains can hold me down
I always break away
I never hear society
Tell me what to do or say
I taste the life that pleases me
And raise a storm for all the world to see I never stumble, never fall
Never stop for rest
I rebell but I walk tall
And I demand respect
I move amongst the nightlife
And they just step aside
Cause when they see me coming
They know Im running wild
Im running wild
Im running wild
Get outta my way
Im running wild
Im running wild
You better believe it
Wild...

Hold On
Youre sweeter than the morning
When the sun is shining down on me
There is nothing you can say
That could make me go away you see
But you keep saying to me baby
Hold on--i feel Im getting ready
Hold on--i feel Im rockin steady
Hold on--Im gonna make it with you woman
Hold on--you got to gimme some love, gimme some love
I held back before
But your love took me easily
You got the power
I knew was gonna creep up on me
The more I give
Your love keeps comin on strong
Although its mine now
I know it wont be for long
Theres something in the saying
That a woman needs a little more time
Im getting tired of waiting for you
Giving me some kind of sign
Hold on--Ive got to love you when I want to
Hold on--youve got to love me when I want you to
Hold on--i aint gonna let you leave me baby
Hold on--no never no more
I know the game youre playing
And I guess you think Im easily led
You think the words youre saying
Are really going through my head
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you, baby
That really Im a man
Hold on--i know Im feeling ready
Hold on--i know Im rockin steady
Hold on--guess Ive made it with you woman
Hold on--Ive got you giving me love
Something that you give me
Keeps me hangin on
No use me stayin
Theres nothing to be done
Im gonna take you home
And give you all I can
Ill prove to you woman
That really Im a man
Hold on--i only want to take you higher
Hold on--you are the root of my desire
Hold on--cmon baby light my fire
Hold on

Safety Chain Blues
Hanging on like hell to the safety chain
Lifebuoy crash lands in a vale of tears
All the lovers are in retreat
Out on the edge of the nervous street
So deaf to the call of the wild
Deaf to the first borns whispering plea
Expanding frame the city is in heat
Burning at the edges of the lonely street
But I want to hold your precious head
I will not leave you nor pretend
Im going to hold you to the end
Hey mama didnt know wed end up here
The snapshot is all tiles and red walls
Down at the squatters camps they cannot compete
The shepherd has been bound up by his hands and his feet
Make love make peace make haste its a slow release
Great changes gonna carry you
Make love make peace make haste its a slow release
Great changes gonna carry you

Love Lies In Ruin
love lies in ruin
love lies in ruin
love lies in ruin
love lies in ruin
leave if you want
if you can decide
leave if you believe in paradise
and stay if you must
if you'll trust my highs
stay, never leave, never go
my love lies in ruin
and better still my heart has ceased to care for anyone
you want to seize her
then tell her that you love her so
testify to all that i have ever felt for this girl
so walk on the wing
on the faith of desire
walk thru this place
as if your own
and leave as a friend
as a will that won't bend
leave as you would again
thru all the seasons
that i lived, i know i'm exiled
i testify to all that i had ever felt
as a child
my love lies in ruin
my love lies in ruin
to all i denied
i resist and i cursed
to all let me say
thank you so
for love is my way
is the path i choose
for love ever young may i feel
my love lies in ruin
my love lies in ruin
my love lies in ruin
my love lies in ruin

What It Can't Buy
what it can't buy
it will never be able smother you in kisses
it can't curl up next to you for added warmth
it won't whisper..ssshhh everything will be ok
it isn't going to sit with you and watch your children play
money will never hold your hand and walk with you
money can't bring you breakfast in bed
money won't keep darkness away by turning on a light
money isn't going to tuck you in at night
a job will never understand your worries
a job can't conceive of your fears
a job won't hold you tight
a job isn't mindful of your plight
clothing will never pray for your safety
clothing can't break bread with you
clothing won't take away your pain
clothing isn't going to soothe you when you go insane
it will not make a house a home
it can't force people to like you
it won't care if your living well
it isn't going to wonder what little soul you sell
money, job, fortune, and fame
all a shallow game
meaning nothing if no one
holds dearly to your name
Fundamental of Liar Chapter CXXVI: Ruin
Do not ruin a good story
Do not ruin a perfect plan
Do not ruin a flawless lie
Do not ruin a great sacrifice
Do not ruin a hard work
Do not ruin a long trust
Do not ruin a magical moment
Do not ruin a golden opportunity
Do not ruin the current mood
Do not ruin an innocent dream
Do not ruin a sweet memory
Do not ruin a fair game
Do not ruin a mutual agreement
Do not ruin a smiling face
Do not ruin the flowing river
Do not ruin the sequence order
Do not ruin the standard procedure
Do not ruin the prepared show
Do not ruin a complete circle
Do not ruin a final ending
Do not ruin the leisure time
Do not ruin the aiming shot
Do not ruin the hidden purpose
Do not ruin a genius idea
Do not ruin the dead price
Do not ruin a determined mind
