Jaded
Jaded...
By fading consequences
Held onto like treasured jewels.
But I do not sparkle within,
Or radiate a gladness
Shown on the surface...
And polished with pretense!
Jaded...
A product of delusion
Manifested by observation
And a fixed comfort zone.
Transfixed and smothering!
I run to escape...
But no one chases!
I hide to shelter myself,
From myself!
I'm jaded!
Corralled and fenced in
Behind gates I alone can unlock!
I have the keys in my pocket.
If I should open them...
Someone else may find my space,
And free it of complaint!
And that is my biggest fear.
I'm jaded.
With a need to hold onto something real!
Exhausted and left unchallenged.

Jaded
Happy birthday baby
What's it gonna be
Monday morning' with a hurricane warning'
Oh well, I guess you've got yourself to please
Jaded. Faded.
I don't wanna be afraid.
Jaded. I hate it.
I don't wanna be your slave.
Saw you peeking' round my garden gate
I thought you'd liked what you'd seen
So I said, "Darlin' if you want a little of these peaches,
just come on and shake my tree."
Jaded. Faded.
I don't wanna be your slave.
Jaded. I hate it.
I don't wanna be afraid.
Every waking' hour
We break down in different combinations.
We spin around in smaller constellations.
Took a ride on the love wheel
Scary, scary go-round and around.
Honey, Honey I don't want none of your money.
I just want off before we hit the ground.
Jaded. Faded.
I don't wanna be your friend.
Jaded. I hate it.
I don't wanna be your slave.
Saw you hangin' around the avenue baby
So I got down outta my tree.
I think I need a little animal honey.
Come on and shake a little monkey with me.
Jaded. Faded.
Oh. I don't wanna be afraid.
Jaded. I hate it.
I don't wanna be your slave
Every waking' hour
We break down in smaller combinations.
We spin around in different constellations.
Wanna be right there to carry you away
Knowing that our love will last through the day.
It's the same thing.
Gonna be here on the light, on the light
I wanna see me, see me going away
I've been gone such a long time.
Leaving' again today.
Leaving' someday

Beautiful Day
Well I'm falling over backwards and I'm drowning in my sleep,
I can't feel the ground, there's only sky beneath my feet,
In a television moment I come crashing to the ground,
Gasoline explosion but you never heard a sound,
Maybe I'm calm, maybe I'm jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe I should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day,
She bloodied up her wingtips as she's cleaning up the bar,
The beauty of an angel but it didn't take her far,
She be crying in the corner if she wasn't far too proud,
Hear the ringing of this failure and it's getting awfully loud,
Maybe she's calm, maybe she's jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe she should see another way,
Like it's the end of her beautiful day,
There's some explaining to do 'cause the fairy tale lied,
I think it's sad but cruel but it's here to stay,
It's just real life anyway,
Maybe we're gone, maybe we've faded,
Maybe the whole thing was just jaded,
Maybe we should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day.

Forever Texas
First you say you want me
Then you don't want me really
Baby do I scare you
Am I talkin' too freely
I got no perspective
On the things that you lack
Baby I don't care
Just lie on your back
Baby I'm crazy
But lady I'm lazy
Amaze me
Baby I'm fading
My mind's all jaded
Amaze me
I'm so superstitious
So there's something you should know
The reason I'm doing you is
'Cause your friend said 'no'
I've been suicidal since
God I don't know when
So get down on your knees
Say your prayers Amen
Baby I'm crazy
Lady I'm lazy
Amaze me
Baby I'm faded
My mind's all jaded
Give me Texas wisdom
Massive systems
And a luscious behind
Mother said 'Son if you do it too long you'll go blind'
Baby I'm lazy
But lady I'm crazy
Amaze me
Baby I'm faded
My mind's all jaded

Jaded
Verse 1:
When you hurt that deep
When the knifes that sharp
When the arrow's aimed right for your heart
When you trust enough to let him in
Then the games begin
When the stakes are just a bit too high
And danger is waiting to take away your innocence
It's not you, It's me
It's just
Chorus:
I'm jaded enough to keep up my defenses
I never thought it could happen to me
I'm a cynical girl
Seeing life through the lenses so I don't get hurt again
Jaded I am
Verse 2:
I'm talking to myself how could this be
No one's ever made a fool of me
No one's had the power, held the key to open up that door
Then slam it in a blink, in a fatal twist
Turned inside out I live with this
Day in, Day out
I must begin again
But
Chorus 2X
Bridge:
Trusting in no one is no way to go on
I know, I know, I know
Someone tell my heart that bleeds on and on
How could I ever take a lover into my trembling arms
oh
Chorus 2X

Barenaked
Do you ever have that dream
where you're walking naked down the street
and everyone just stares
Do you ever feel so deep
that you speak your mind
to put others straight to sleep
You wonder if anybody cares
Sometimes I think I'm the only one
whose day turned out unlike it had begun
And I feel bare naked
And I just can't take it
I'm getting jaded
No I just can't fake it anymore
'Cuz I'm bare naked
And I know life's what you make it
Wish I could float away
to some other day
You ever go downstairs to start your day
but your car's not there
Yeah you know the joke's on you
You ever try your luck with a pickup line
But you just sucked
You tell yourself it wasn't you
And I know it's hard to hold it inside
It's days like these I run and hide
When I feel bare naked
And I just can't take it
I'm getting jaded
No I just can't fake it anymore
'Cuz I'm bare naked
And I know life's what you make it
Wish I could float away
to some other day
It's all a state of mind
but I don't mind trying to find a way
to keep my head above the mess I make
what the world creates
sometimes it feels so good to let it all fall
as the world fall
I may fall
we all may fall
and then the world comes tumbling
down down down down down
I'm bare naked
And I just can't take it
I'm getting jaded
No I just can't fake it anymore
'Cuz I'm bare naked
And I know life's what you make it
Wish I could float away
to some other day
When I feel .. feel (bare naked) .. feel
When I feel ..
Yeah no no no ..

Heart Jaded
Time passed
the day faded
self reflection
revealed
a heart jaded.
Colors of excitement,
identity of the spirit,
Mixer of the colors?
I'm afraid, I did it.
There was no fault
found in creating black.
No regretting,
looking back.
I looked at my heart
saw it as jaded,
camouflaged with the night.
How was I to know
the day had faded?

Behind The Mask
It's funny to think I trusted you
It's funny to think that I have spent my whole damn life supporting you
It's funny that I believed in you,
It's funny I thought that you'd be there if I should ever call on you
So now I'm jaded
Friends turn to enemies
Now that I know that you work for them
Now that I know your life is based around such lies and corporate greed
You only believe what you are told
You only defend laws that are old because it's law don't make it right
So now I'm jaded
Friends turn to enemies
All my life I've done what I've been asked
So who is right? The one behind the mask
So now I'm jaded
Friends turn to enemies
It's funny to think I trusted you
It's funny to think that I have spent my whole damn life supporting you
It's funny that I believed in you,
It's funny I thought that you'd be there if I should ever call on you
All my life I've done what I've been asked
So who is right? The one behind the mask
All my life I've done what I've been asked?
So who is right? The one behind the mask

I find that it's nice to work with somebody and spin off on someone else's feelings. You get a little jaded by yourself.

Tampering with Justice
Tampering with Justice
Is a fair-hair sport
Given to Muses, divinely
Inspired by Rockefeller
And Franklin Mint.
Justice is not for pro bono
Clients, that weasel a spot
On the docket using
The taxpayer’s pocket.
Justice blind?
Oh, no, she sees in
Green, and blood, and wine.
Tempered with hot-bellied
Cops, who strain to hold it back
The tide of human waste or is it more
Like a boiling pot no one bothered to wash?
Useless to try –
Until a jaded eye says enough –
And the hand comes out of a
Piss-born pocket.

Revival
So whats with your kind
You scavenge to find
What makes you supreme in design
Accuse you cause they had the fun
So differently divine
When my mind goes override
Its so typical to capture anonymity
I choose the crowd to divide
Chorus:
So you see I try
I cannot ever displace
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die
Right in front of your face
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
They made us with a tool
Then they taught us how to live
We met the candyman
He filled us with his contraband
Then they scared us all away
Chorus
While youre visiting your bubble of reality
Salivating at the sound of the bells
Ill be seducing you through your confession
Theyve been the ones youve known forever
Someones been lied to
With all the rage
Caught us dismal at times
Weve known forever
Youve been denied of supervision
Just a test tube life away
How could you make believe
That weve grown through circumcision
When its right here next to me
Friendships change to time
Theyd never let us leave
You took your time
So too late
Missing what youve never had
Ill be the only one that knows
Just how weve been abused

But, Please Don't Get Me Wrong
It is too late to find me frisky,
And in a puppy love for you.
Those senses of mine have been jaded.
And in stages to someday fade.
But, please don't get me wrong.
If someone should come along...
With the right zip,
To get me and my spirits lifted?
I wont remember a thing I've said to you!

Links
Memories are our links
to our jaded past
of days when we were happy
or when tears clouded our eyes.
They are the transport
we all take from time to time
to connect us to a world
we long ago left behind.

A Mind Rich In Innocence
Truth, The Real God
Not that we have made
Does not want a facade
Of the limited and narrow world that we parade
It asks for a mind rich in Innocence
That doesnt have a scratch of experience
A mind free from time
A mind free from grime
It wants a Being whose heart is Full
Rich, clear which does not get pulled
By jaded and petty eyesight
Just capable of intense feeling in all its might
Be sensitive with your nerves
Your eyes, your body, your voice, your ears
See the beauty of the tree, the smile of the child
The agony of the woman without a meal, the animals in wild
Unless you do, there is no intelligence
It doesnt come with knowledge or experience
Comes with sensitivity and observation
A mind rich in Innocence....
