Not What Is Wish...But Done
Its been cold many nights.
When sleeping alone,
Is not what is wish...
But done.
Its been hard to resist.
A needing for much more,
Than an old emptiness,
To come.
I want somebody known to me,
Inside.
I want somebody shown to be,
Alive and not hide...
Away.
Its been cold many nights.
And hugging a pillow to snuggle up,
Is not right!
I want somebody known to me,
Inside.
I want somebody shown to be,
Alive and not hide...
Away.
Or play games that stay on display!
I want somebody known to me,
Inside.
I want somebody shown to be,
Alive and not hide...
Away.
Its been hard to resist.
A needing for much more,
Than an old emptiness,
To come.
An aloneness like this,
Is not what is wished...
But done.

Love Will Keep Us Alive
I was standing all alone against the world outside
You were searching for a place to hide
Lost and lonely now youve given me the will to survive
When were hungry love will keep us alive
Dont you worry, sometimes youve just got to let it ride
The world is changing right before your eyes
Now Ive found you theres no more emptiness inside
When were hungry love will keep us alive
I would die for you, climb the highest mountain
Baby theres nothing I wouldnt do, for you
Now Ive found you theres no more emptiness inside
When were hungry love will keep us alive
I would die for you etc.

Excess Baggage
Well I know the words, but I cant really speak them
To you
And I hide all the pain that Ive gained with my wisdom
From you
And Im eaten alive, by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I cant easily hide
And Im left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you
Its not easy to hide
All this damage inside
Ill carry you with me
Until Im not alive
When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?
I cant seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you
Im so sick of this place
This taste in my mouth
Cause of you I cant figure what Im all about
And Im left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you
Its not easy to hide
All this damage inside
Ill carry you with me
til Im not alive

The Unexpected
My heart as always been an open book
I hide nothing, it's just who I am
But because of certain
Paths that I took
The unexpected
The wrong choices
I use to close my heart
To any person that tried to get close
I find it hard to share
My soul
My heart
My very being
To anyone that wants
To get close
Through my muse
I express what I feel
Through my muse
I hide no lies
Through my muse
I've learnt how to be alive
Through my muse
I've meet all of you
You have shown me how to love
You have shown me how to smile
You have shown me how to share
You have shown me how to be human
And I've learnt to be free
By just being me
With that in mind
I thank you all for just being you.
And being my friend

Needing Instant Pity
You know I know
You think I'm indecisive.
I know you know
Inside I try to hide it.
Like a river flows so free
Until it empties into the sea.
I wish all the thoughts I had...
Were easy to be seen.
I'm needing instant pity!
You know I know
You think I'm indecisive.
I know you know
Inside I try to hide it!
If I said, 'Here is my life! '
Would you treat me very good?
If I gave you a reason to stay...
Would you promise that you could,
Always treat me better...
No matter what the weathercast?
You know I know
You think I'm indecisive.
I know you know
Inside I try to hide it.
Come what may
My needs are real to me.
I will pray to find another way...
To share with you my secrets,
If you will never leak them in dismay!
You gotta help me chase these storms away.
I hope this wish is bliss...
And not decay!
You know I know
You think I'm indecisive.
I know you know
Inside I try to hide it.
Like a river flows so free
Until it empties into the sea.
I wish all the thoughts I had...
Were easy to be seen.
I'm needing instant pity now.
Can you now instantly pity me?
I can not quit...
It sits and bothers me!

Alive
I cannot ever find a way
To throw these darkened thoughts away
Need no place to hide
Its thrown in my face everyday,
cause its the price I have to pay
For whats inside my mind
I am alive
You gives em to me everyday
Thats okay, thats how I like to play
Theyre not first in line
Whats in my head I didnt say
Its something that I cant run away
Whats inside my mind
I am alive
I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cry
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I die
Now Im alive
Alive!
I cannot ever find a way
To throw these darkened thoughts away
Need no place to hide
Its thrown in my face everyday,
cause its the price I have to pay
For whats inside my mind
I am alive
I will never run away
Places inside
My heart screams inside with pride
Once I cry
Now I wipe away the tears
Once I die
Now Im alive

Called Her Name
(copyright nazareth, tiflis tunes,inc.-ascap)
Called her name but the wind blew strong,
I called in vain though I tried so long,
Called the sea to bring her home,
But the sea dont hear and Im still alone
I feel an emptiness inside
Something within me I cant hide
Standing here looking at the sky,
But the light I see cant tell me why,
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I cant hide.
Everytime I stop to think
Thats the time I get lonely
Thats the time it hurts the most
Everytime I get lonely.
What went wrong, who am I to blame,
Did I take too long, to call her name,
I feel an emptiness inside
Something within me I cant hide.

To those in silence reaching in desperation...the ones we misunderstood
I've an ache inside and it will not go away;
I cry in silence nothing to display.;
no one can hear
so i reach, to no one there
I am alone so very alone
Its cold and scary...I'm so alone
I see no help..I'm so alone
death has caressed me...my new home
In one great struggle all misunderstood;
unable to live the way i should
I slowly walk away;
My memories left in dismay
I am alone so very alone
Its cold and scary...I'm so alone
I see no help...I'm so alone
Death has caressed me... my new home.
But in all that's real there is no home;
you don't see inside; its never shown
not the way i know it i wish you could;
I'm really needing..but nothing feels good
I am alone so very alone
Its cold and scary...I'm so alone
I see no help...I'm so alone
Death has caressed me... my new home.
If I left any foot prints i don't know why;
I just couldn't feel but could always cry.
Just fell in love with sadness all inside;
And just withered away and finally died.

Overcome
I was raised to believe what I see
So I pray to God
Give me strength
Help me breathe
When they suck
Life from me
Somethings wrong Anything
CHORUS-
Wrong with me
I dont see
Anything Wrong with me
So I write and I pray
And I live day to day
And I wait
For the sun
And I love everyone
Still they find
Something wrong
CHORUS
You cant hide what inside whats inside,
You cant hide what inside whats inside,
You cant hide what inside whats inside
You cant hide what inside when you die
You cant hide whats inside when you die you will die
(break me break me down)
You cant hide whats inside when you die,
You cant hide whats inside when you die,
You cant hide whats inside when you die,
You cant hide whats inside when you die
You will die, You will die, You will die

I Can't Hide My Heart
(Randy Owen/Teddy Gentry/Ronnie Rogers/Greg Fowler)
When we're in a crowd, I'm sure you've noticed how
I love to look at you (you, you, you)
No, I can't deny, I get hypnotized
When I look at you (look at you, look at you)
Oh, it's the kind of thing, that I can't explain
No matter how I try
It's no mystery, the whole world can see
How I feel inside (feel inside)
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
When we're all alone, oh it's just as strong
When I look at you
Maybe even more, behind these doors
As I'm loving you (loving you)
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
Baby you never will be lonely, as long as I'm alive
You'll always be my one and only, for the rest of my life
Ooooh, ooooh
(Oh, oh baby)
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
These feelings I know
Can't help but show
And I can't hide my heart
I can't hide my heart
It's been that way right from the start
I can't hide my heart (and I can't hide my heart)
It's been that way right from the start
I can't hide my heart
I can't hide my heart

Mundane
The definition
Normal
Just a rendition
Of average life, boring enough to lull
You into a sleep of mediocrity
Settling for second or third best, because it's easy
Not having an opinion just being unstable and breezy
And silent like the wind... that's me
The kid that's just there and then
Then just gone, no more
Not something to abhor, but worse- unknown
Talent not shown
Intelligence, not shown
Character, not shown
Promise not shown
And stuck with mundane
Stuck without a chance to prove
Just who
I am, because of silence, because of pain
But one day I'll show them, who I am one day
In a world less fey
They'll see when silence doesn't suppress
The person inside
In that day when there's no reason to hide
But for now mundane
All my efforts in vain
But hoping for something more
Even for
Eternity

Your Life
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love.
If you knew everything they thought I bet you'd wish that they'd just shut
up.
Well you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive.
Not ones gonna play the harp when you die.
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime I might have half the time.
do you mind?
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?
It's hard to remember we're alive for the first time.
It's hard to remember we're alive for the last time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember that our lives are such a short time.
It's hard to remember what it takes such a long time.
It's hard to remember to live before you die.
It's hard to remember.
My mom's god is a woman and my mom she is a witch.
I fought this.
My hell comes from inside comes from inside myself.
Why fight this.
Everyone's afraid of their own life.
If you could be anything you want I bet you'd be disappointed.
am I right?

Miracle
Believe in me for everything i was doing was right for you
and everything here resembles the reasons why i escaped for you.
We are in peace.
They will go and die in peace.
These feelings have knocked me cold,
These feelings have knocked me cold.
But where now?Where to hide?
But where now? Where to hide?
Come leave with me to walk through the desert, soak up all oracle.
And we will combine because you're my one and only miracle.
We are in pieces,
They will go and die in peace.
These feelings have knocked me cold,
These feelings have knocked me cold.
But where now?Where to hide?
but where now?Where to hide?
You will never know.
You will never know how much pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.
You will never know how much pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.
You will never know how much pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.
You will never know how pain pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.
These feelings have knocked me cold,
These feelings have knocked me cold.
But where now?Where to hide?

You will never know how much pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.
You will never know how much pain and hurt, there is burning inside my flesh.

Lonely Footsteps Turn
But there's nowhere to hide
Hope is hiding its light under a bushel
But a heart needs to be - life-size
When love finds you and your heart
Still desperately alive!
So you curl up like a little boy blue
All prickles and indignation
Filled with missed assignations
Because you've loved and lost
And bitterness haunts you!
As the pain inside still trembles
With what's hurting deep inside
You cry in the secret corners of your mind
But there's a girl who leaves you
With nowhere now to hide
Lonely footsteps turn
But this time there's this warmth
Inside you a glowing ember
That can't contain, anymore loneliness…
Anymore lies…
Now you've found me
There's nowhere no reason for me to hide.

Friend Of Mine
(odette quesada)
Ive known you for so long
You are a friend of mine
But is this all wed ever be?
Ive loved you ever since
You are a friend of mine
And babe is this all we ever could be?
Refrain:
You tell me things Ive never known
I shown you love youve never shown
But then again, when you cry
Im always at your side
You tell me bout the love youve had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside youll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again Im glad

You tell me things Ive never known
I shown you love youve never shown
But then again, when you cry
Im always at your side
You tell me bout the love youve had
I listen very eagerly
But deep inside youll never see
This feeling of emptiness
It makes me feel sad
But then again
Then again
Then again Im glad

Tears on my pillow keep falling
And Im crying over you, crying over you

Always think bout the things we used to do
And Im singing baby

Looking for someone to make the claim, oh tell me

Looking for someone to take the blame, wont nobody take it for me baby
Reflections of your silhouette at the corners of my bed
I try to close my eyes and go to sleep, still I see you in my dream

Suicide Is Never The Answer
crazy day,
can't say why,
just don't know how to tell,
what i hide deep inside,
that seem to eat me alive,
but what can i do?
when you can't tell what you hide?
because the world sees it as bad,
ending your life,
why should they care?
it not there's?
but, yet lives would be touched,
when you end your life,
you can't always think of yourself,
think of others that going to miss you,
think of the people who will be without you,
do you want that?
people left cryng because of what they could've did,
why leave the people you love with heartbreak?
why leave them with the guilt that will always linger,
think of others before yourself,
because it not just your life that will be changing,
it will be everybody you know,
will you want that?
somebody leaving because life got hard,
just hang on tight,
life gets better the more you face it,
the more you hide,
the worse it feels,
either way you see it,
suicide is never the answer.

Muscle Museum
She had something to confess to
But you don't have the time so
Look the other way
You will wait until it's over
To reveal what you'd never shown her
Too little much too late
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own
I have played in every toilet
But you still want to spoil it
To prove I've made a big mistake
Too long trying to resist it
You've just gone and missed it
It's escaped your world
Can you see that I am needing
Begging for so much more
Than you could ever give
And I don't want you to adore me
Don't want you to ignore me
When it pleases you
And I'll do it on my own
I'll do it on my own

Its almost suicide
Going quadraphobic
going homaphobic
walls closing in
my life becoming less snd less
trying to find a place to hide
more i try the more i become less inside
its almost suicide
trying so hard not to cry
its hard to fly
dont want to die
never wanted this road
instead of going right i turn left
becoming less inside
trying to hide
its almost suicide
its a phsycofellinie
trying to runjust want to have fun

The Chronicles Of A Day Stranded In Nature Part 5 Resist Even Out Here
Resist... resist with all my strength
Sometimes i find it hard to resist
I find myself thinking thoughts not be thought
It seems that to not think in this way makes my mind twist
This battle has been fought
Many times before
Yet the thoughts that are there to abhor
Not to surrender to... they're pleasurable O
As i grind my toes inside my shoe
And steady my jaw I resist the urge
And thoughts of the other... I wish to purge
These thoughts of any candidate for my wife
The one with which i spend my life
I must resist even when I rest
And I cannot let my guard down even after a hard test
They plague and pervade my mind
Though I like these thoughts... I still must find
Some peace from them, because for me they
Often are evil... how fey
Resist...resist... with all my mind
