I See
open up your eyes
take a look inside
there`s no need to hide
I see you as a person
I want to stand beside
I will not judge
I will not hold a grudge
I would walk a mile
just to see your smile
it`s what you are inside
that opens my eyes so wide
and sends my feelings on a ride
i know it`s the real deal
i want to let you know
this is how i feel

Smiling
I like to lose myself in your eyes,
I like the ones that shine not cries.
I like it when you hold my hand,
I like it when you say “that’s grand”.
I like it when we kiss and walk,
I like it when we sit and talk.
I like it when you dress in style,
but most of all I like your smile.
A social smile for general folk,
acceptable as there’s no joke.
A warming smile of sympathy
beats from a heart with empathy.
A contempt smile but not in vain,
you generate when feeling pain.
A loving smile it’s just for me,
a smile I always want to see.
A smile that lights a fire inside,
a raging crush I can not hide.
This feeling that you generate,
makes you the only one to date.
Please never go a country mile’n,
I need you near, I need your smiling.

Eyes Wide Open
Your eyes are wide open, but yet you don’t see
All the love I have inside of me.
Eyes wide open, but you don’t look around
You don’t open your ears, you don’t hear a sound.
Eyes wide open but the beauties that surround you
Do not seem to exist.
Is it that your eyes on you are playing tricks?
Eyes wide open and yet you have a blank stare.
Have you closed off your mind?
Or you just don’t care.
What can I do to remove that haze
So that on my face you can gaze.
If I hold you tenderly in my arms
And kiss those beautiful eyes.
Will they move? Will they cry?
What must I do so that you can see
That our love was meant to be.
They say that you went deep inside yourself
To hide the hurt and pain
But without your love “ I am the same”.
Eyes wide open. Did they just glance at me?
Is it because your heart is finally free?
I see a tear forming in your eyes
Emotions being let out that you tried to hide.
Eyes wide open- now they are mine
I can see your love for the very first time.

Fake
I cant stand the sight of you
I cant stand what you put me through
Your lifes a lie, but you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?
I cant stand, oh, the thought of you
I cant stand all the things you do
What do you try to justify?
You were just too scared to be you inside
Let!
It all go
[i look] at you, all I see, is a man too afraid to really be
I cant stand what you put me through
I cant stand even the thought of you
Your secret lies that you hide
Is it that terrible being you inside?
You try so hard to be wanted
-false emotions tells you fronted
I feel being a person relies on one thing:
Be yourself, let you come through
Youre too afraid to really be
Someone who has the thoughts who doesnt care to be
Be yourself, let you come through!
Fake!
-youll regret it, youll regret it

You Don't Know
Bryan:
Oh yeah yeah, yeah
Nobody knows me
Yet everyone knows my name
Some people judge me
Not knowing that Im the same
Thanks for the offer
But I keep my old friends, always
And then I get lonely
Counting the endless days
Are you here for me at all?
Do you care for me at all?
Well this time now I know
I aint standing alone no more
Cos all I want is love
Someone who can share the pain I feel
And the eyes that stare
Wont stare at me no more
Cos all I need is time
Time for me to open up and show
The person I am
The person you think you know
You dont know
You dont know
Mark:
Some heart felt emotion
Creeping from deep inside
Cos being this person
Is all Ive got left to hide
Are you here for me at all?
Did you care for me at all?
Last time I was told
I aint standing alone no more
All I need is love
Someone who can share the pain I feel
And the eyes that stare
Wont stare at me no more
And all I need is time
Time for me to open up and show
The person I am
The person you dont know
You dont know
You dont know

Why Should I Cry
There's a time I felt I was blessed to be loved by you
Those blessings turned to regrets from all the things you put me thru
I remember at night you used to hold me til the sun rose the next day
Now you sleep and just turn away while my heart is on display
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
There's a reason why I cry everyday
There's a reason why things don't go your way
There's a reason why I kneel down and pray
There's a reason why Im still around today
Can't you see that I'm hurting internally
I need affection and good love therapy
I need you now it's an urgent delivery
To get rid of this pain from inside of me
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I put up with lies?
Am I afraid to say goodbye?
I loved you so
Baby I cant deny
But now it's time to dry my eyes
Time to think of what was gained
When I feel like it was all of pain
Can't be right and feel this wrong
This heart of mine should just move on
CHORUS:
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
Why should I cry
One more night
Why should I smile
When it hurts inside
Why does my heart say
Get up and walk away
Why do I say
(Repeat til end)

Lonely Tear
I close my eyes and you are there
As you stand in front of me
I reach out my hand to hold you
As you have set my soul and mind free
You then give me a smile and then a kiss
And now my heart and soul is on fire
I tremble and shake with thoughts only of you
My heart is full of want and your desire.
You then close your eyes and walk towards me
We then kiss with both passion and need
You gave me what I want I gave you what you have
To each other our passions we will feed.
You then step away to show me who you are
I ravish you with my hands and eyes
I then caress your breasts and touch your lips
Once again I am a man deep inside.
You turn around just one more time
To prove to me that your the woman for me
I take a deep breath it explodes in my soul
My soul and mind of all other women is free.
You take me by the hand and lead me to our bed
We lay down together with you at my side
Your head is on my chest and my hands in your hair
My passion for you for this night I will not hide.
You then make me a man I can barely stand
I look at you as you are covered with silk and lace
We then kiss again you’re my lover and friend
As I can see the pleasure upon your face.
I open my eyes and now you are gone
And sadly it was a dream you are no longer here
I now forget the passion and the words I had spoke
Now I walk away alone, with one lonely tear.

Love Has A Hold On Me
I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where do I come from
Where does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me
As Im looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
I dont have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I cant help believe that
Understanding comes in time
Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me
If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me

Dont Look In My Eyes
All my memory is safely packed
And my dreams are neatly folded away
Ive got nothing to show
To a love that might have told okay
All the tables and chairs
Theyre standing empty and bare
And there isnt any sign
You were here
So jsut walk out of the door
Try not to get too near
You might look in my eyes
And see all the pain
And sadness deep inside
Dont look in my eyes
Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide
If youve just gone, itll be alright
I know Ill get through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just dont look in my eyes
All our photographs are stored away
And our letters are there burned in the fire
Theres nothing left here
That make me believer
We had nights of tender love and desire
If this seems to be gray
Id like to hide away
Theres nothing to remind me of you
When you walk out of the door
Just be sure whatever you do
Dont look in my eyes
And see all the pains
And sadness deep inside
Dont look in my eyes
Thats where I keep the tears I cant hide
If youve just gone, itll be alright
I know Ill make it through the night
And I even smile
As we say our goodbyes
Just dont look in my eyes

I Hold No Grudge
Angelo badalamenti, john clifford
I hold no grudge
Theres no resentment undneath
Ill extend the laurel wreath and well be friends
But right there is where it ends
I hold no grudge
And Ill forgive you your mistake
But forgive me if I take it all to heart
And make sure that it doesnt start again
Yes Im the kind of people
You can step on for a little while
But when I call it quits
Baby thats it
Im the kind of people
You can hurt once in a while
But crawling just aint my style
I hold no grudge
Deep inside me theres no regrets
But a gal whos been forgotten may forgive
But never once forget

Don’t open your eyes yet not until I explain last night I went to bed with Sleep last night I fell for Sleep last night Sleep unclothed me left me naked in a room painted black I couldn’t see Sleep because Sleep was dark too and the room was black and the foreground blended in with the background I couldn’t tell what was far and what was close I became frustrated because Sleep was either hiding inside the room or the room was hiding behind Sleep neither were being fair to my eyes who wanted to play hide and go Sleep I hide inside the room and Sleep seeks I said where are you Sleep I can’t see you my eyes can’t find you Sleep I said I wanted to fall inside you brought me into this black room and I am trying to wrap myself around you won’t you come inside of me you won’t stage scenes in my eyes created with color everything is black one long stretch Sleep are you moving and I can’t see you or are you standing still and I can’t feel you are here Sleep you are silent Sleep I feel alone Sleep I want you to be inside me if you take me to a black room and make me go to bed are your eyes open I can’t see you did you leave is Sleep here Sleep am I inside you explain Sleep explain did you open your eyes Sleep are my eyes open Sleep are you outside me Sleep you took me to bed and left me Sleep I can’t open my eyes until you are back inside me I can’t see Sleep when you’re not inside me open your eyes Sleep do you see me inside you explain last night am I still inside Sleep?

Ive Got To Get A Message To You
The preacher talked to me and he smiled,
Said, come and walk with me, come and walk one more mile.
Now for once in your life youre alone,
But you aint got a dime, theres no time for the phone.
Ive just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
I told him Im in no hurry,
But if I broke her heart, wont you tell her Im sorry.
And for once in my life Im alone,
And Ive got to let her know just in time before I go.
Ive just go to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.
Well I laughed but that didnt hurt,
And its only her love that keeps me wearing this dirt.
Now Im crying but deep down inside,
Well I did it to him, now its my turn to die.
Ive just got to get a message to you, hold on, hold on.
One more hour and my life will be through, hold on, hold on.

Do not Judge me (First Poem Submitted)
As I stand before you
with the reality of the shame of my sins in my arms.
Do not judge me.
You do not know me.
You do not know the pains I have suffered,
As you look at me like I am a demon from the pits of Hell.
Do not judge me.
You do not know me.
Picture youself alone as I, needing the comfort and touch of another.
Would you not do the same?
Do not judge me.
You do not know me.
And my child has already been marked like a person with the plague.
Not given a chance,
Do not judge him,
You do not know him.
We all have sinned and it is not our job to judge,
So do not judge me.
You do not know me.

You Always Walk Alone
When I hold the key to open heavens door
I will never make the mistake and give it back
When I hold the key to open my mind before its too late
I will never give it back
Bridge: theres just one way I see
The way I think its right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If its right Ill stop before
When I see the light of sun will fade away
And I reveal what I have loved before
Its too late when I cant see the hours I pay
And I reveal what I have loved before
Bridge: theres just one way I see
The way I think its right for me
You say to me I will repent what I do
If its right Ill stop before
Chorus: the life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
Its one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you cant see the life around
Youll always walk alone
Look at the drunk man, look into his eyes
See his strong hands
But tomorrow they will tremble cold as ice
See the drunk man, try to ask him why
He will laugh, and tomorrow he will tell you another lie
Theres a fight in his head he cannot win
Getting stronger, makes him mad, burning sin
You--you cannot hide
You--you cannot describe your feelings inside
Chorus: the life I try to give is
All I have inside of me
Its one kind of life for me
This music you hear
The strength we have inside is
So much more than you will know
But if you cant see the life around
Youll always walk alone

Behind Those Eyes
Ohh yeah
Ohh yeah
you said i had something to say
then you got that look in your eye
there is something youve got to know
you said it as you started to cry
ive been down the wrong road tonight
and i swear ill never go there again
ive seen this face once before
and i dont think i can do this again
Theres something I cant see
Something living in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing i can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
As you turned to walk away
I saw another look in your eye
And even though it hurt like it did
I couldnt let the spirit by?
You say that your sorry
And you say that it hurts you the same
Is there something here to believe
Or is it just another part of the game?
Theres something I cant see
Something living in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing i can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Ohh yeah
Ooooooo
Ohh woah
Behind those eyes you lie
Behind those eyes you hide
Theres something I cant see
Something living in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you lie
And theres nothing i can say
Cause im never gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Theres nothing i can say
Thats ever gonna change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Behind those eyes you lie

I will be in comfort and others in peace
Down under and deep inside me
There sits a judge with a hammer
Beside a big old wooden table
With a eye-folded statue and a
Tossing balance
No one around,
No attendant or clerk in front
Only the accused
In the stand meant
No witness, nor arguments
No lawyer for or against the accused
No mention of sections or provisions
Of any law or regulation
And the judge is ever ready for judging
And comes out to declare that
This is good and that is bad
Which law school he is from
In which law he is a specialist
I know not a thing,
But he is always judging
And makes me act on his judgments
Normally we address
“The learned judge”
I know how “learned”
The person judging
Sitting down under deep inside me
Most of his judgments and
Subsequent acts of mine
Made me regret
And put others in discomfort
I have a request to
My inside judge
“Oh, Noble but lowly learned judge
How nice will it be
If you stop judging'
I will be in comfort and
Others in peace

The House Jack Built
Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close again
Well on my way
On my way to where I graze
It swallows me
As it takes me in his home
I twist away
As I kill this world
Open doors so I walk inside
Close my eyes find my place to hide
And I shake as I take it in
Let the show begin
Open my eyes
Just to have them close once again
Don't want control
As It takes me down and down again
Is that the moon
Or just a light that lights this deadend street?
Is that you there
Or just another demon that I meet?
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Step into the house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Yes this is the house that Jack built
Open doors as I walk inside
Swallow me so the pain subsides
And I shake as I take this in
Let the show begin
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl
My body my temple
This temple it tells
Yes this is the house that Jack built
The higher you are
The farther you fall
The longer the walk
The farther you crawl

This temple it tells
Yes I am I am I am
Open my eyes
It swallows me
Is that you there
I twist away

Crippled Inside
You can shine your shoes and wear a suit
You can comb your hair and look quite cute
You can hide your face behind a smile
One thing you cant hide
Is when youre crippled inside
You can wear a mask and paint your face
You can call yourself the human race
You can wear a collar and a tie
One thing you cant hide
Is when youre crippled inside
Well now you know that your
Cat has nine lives
Nine lives to itself
But you only got one
And a dogs life aint fun
Mamma take a look outside
You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the color of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you cant hide
Is when youre crippled inside
Well now you know that your

Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,
Nine lives to itself.

You can live a lie until you die.

Well, now you know that your cat has nine lives, babe,
