Over the Top with Dramatics

Every piece of clothing I wore,
At one time...
Bore my own tear stains.

Over the top with dramatics?
I wish this fact,
'Was' an exaggeration with theatrics.

Back to back agonies,
Had seemed the only air...
I came to learn to breathe.

I would cling onto my woes,
As if they were new born babies.
Protectively I held them close.

And then one day,
An adjustment was made!
I forgave myself for tossing away my faith.

Every piece of clothing I wore,
At one time...
Bore my own tear stains.

Spinning I was...
In a dysfunctional whirpool of guilt.
And a remorse felt from displaced anger.

And when I discovered I was being tested.
To prove a love I within confessed,
God released me from that mess I kept!

A Piece Of You

Im just trying to live this life of mine
The more I look, the more Im blind
And all I ask for is piece of mind
And all I want is a piece of you
Well I lost my way today
Back home from work
The snow fell like dust
I felt like dirt
Happens everytime I start to search
For that long lost piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of you
It seems the last time I was sure
Of anything
I sold my heart
I wore your ring
But now, the queen has lost her king
All I want is a piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of you
A piece of you

The rain is gone

You got wet clothes to dry
A face to wipe some droplets of rain
Some stains
On your breasts
Kissing stains
Some bluish marks
On your thighs
You always say
These things, stains and bluing
Happen
Because of the rain
The rain that refuses to leave at once
And you are caught to his embrace
You always say the rain
Is responsible, one season to blame
Why these things, these stains cling to your body
The thoughts of rain
Leaving
Saddens you now

How you wish the rain comes back
The stains caused by him smells and
The scent of sweat makes you sway, gives
You the feeling of
Stay, I love you, stay, do not go away.

Wonder, how the rain could have removed
The stains, smell, sweat, but you say
The rain causes it, he cannot leave you

He still has the fear of getting rainy wet.

Disintegration

Oh i miss the kiss of treachery the shameless
Kiss of vanity the soft and the black and the
Velvety up tight against the side of me and
Mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in
Thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it
Starts the need to just let go my party piece
Oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss
Before i feed the stench of a love for a younger
Meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts
In deep the holding up on bended knees the
Addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts
The need to just let go my party piece
But i never said i would stay to the end so i
Leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over i leave
You with photographs pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew how the ending would
Be...
So it's all come back round to breaking apart
Again breking apart like i'm made up of glass
Again making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again cut in deep
To the heart of the bone again round and round
And round and it's coming apart again over and
Over and over
Now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye through the eye
Of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to
Heaven than ever feel whole again
I never said i would stay to the end i knew
I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over i leave
You with photographs pictues of trickery
Stains on the carpet and stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams when
Both of us knew how the end always is...
How the end always is...

Cry a tear

Cry a tear for the women of abuse
Cry a tear for those who abuse
Cry a tear those in broken marraiges
Cry a tear for everyone who feels used

Cry a tear for the teens of prostitution
Cry a tear for the teens on drugs
Cry a tear for teens under pressure
Cry a tear for teens without love

Cry a tear for the child of slave labour
Cry a tear for the child of rape
Cry a tear for the people who did this to them
Cry a tear for all those who hate

Cry a tear for HIV/AIDS
Cry a tear for destroyed homes
Cry a tear for the wickedness of suicide
Cry a tear for everyone who feels alone

Cry a tear for people in jail
Cry a tear for those who sin
Cry a tear for people who have lost someone
Cry a tear for those who cheat to win

Cry a tear for alcoholics
Cry a tear for people on the streets
Cry a tear for youngsters involved in crime
Cry a tear for everyone you meet

Cry a tear for abandoned babies
Cry a tear for poverty
Cry a tear for all the racism
Cry a tear for you and me

Coat Of Many Colors

(dolly parton)
Back through the years I go wondering once again
Back to the seasons of my youth
I recall a box of rags that someone gave us
And how my mamma put these rags to use
There were rags of many colours, and every piece was small
And I didnt have a coat and it was way down in the fall
Mamma sewed the rags together, sewing ever piece with love
She made my coat of many colours, that I was so proud of
As she sewed she told the story from the Bible she had read
About a coat of many colours, joseph wore and they she said
Perhaps this coat will bring you, much love and happiness
And I just couldnt wait to wear it, and mamma blessed it with a kiss
My coat of many colours that mamma made for me
Made only rags, but I wore it so proudly
Although we had no money. oh I was rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
So with patches on my breaches and holes in both my shoes
In my coat of many colours, I hurried off to school
Just to find the others laughing and makin fun of me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
Oh, I couldnt understand it, for I felt I was rich
And I told them of the love my mamma sewed in ever stitch
And I told them all the story, mamma told me while she sewed
And how my coat of many colours is worth more than all of their clothes
They didnt under stand it and I tried to make them see
That one is only poor only if they choose to be
Now I know we have no money, but Im as rich as I could be
In my coat of many colours, my mamma made for me
In my coat of many colours, my mamma just made for me

Those Old Shoes

from the first step i took in you,
first day of elementary school i stepped in that gum.
i still wore you as i grew,
and i still charish you like you are new.
id still wear them if they'd fit and look like a bum.
and wouldn't even care if they say i look dumb

soles have fallin out yet your precious to my eye.
Stains all on you my toe playin peek a boo
if i ever lost you shoe i think that i would cry.
better yet i know i would i actually might die.
so for all of you please get a clue.
its not how you do its what you do.

you cant be where you are without knowing where you've been.
i didnt really know how to remember my past then at last.
i grabbed up my shoe n ran an got a pen.
took a deep breathe an counted to ten. and then.
i close my eyes and im back in the past.
not a worry in the world im free at last.

My Lovers Box

My lovers charms
Are in a box
Beneath my bed
And piece by piece
Ill cherish them
Until the end
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
Im afraid Ill never get to heaven
They burn my hands
Scar my face
And blind my eyes
Ill steal your breath
And throw away
What I despise
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
Im afraid Ill never get to heaven
Between these walls
And darkened halls
Ive done my time
If I should die
Before I wake
Then youll know why
Send me an angel to love
I need to feel a little piece of heaven
Send me an angel to love
Im afraid Ill never get to heaven, piece by piece
Send me an angel to love, piece by piece
I need to feel a little piece of heaven, piece by piece
Send me an angel to love, piece by piece
Im afraid Ill never get to heaven, piece by piece
Piece by piece
Piece by piece, send me an angel
Piece by piece, send me an angel
Piece by piece, send me an angel

Piece by piece, send me an angel
Piece by piece, send me an angel

For the last time

The first time I fell in love with a man he abused my heart.

The last time I was held was the last time I was held really tight.

The last time I said I love you to a man, he said it back to me.

The last time a man left me was the last time I fell.

The last time I opened my heart I was afraid to leave it open.

So I closed it swearing it would never be opened again.

The last time I told a man how I feel I was completely ignored.

The last time I wore my heart on my sleeve it got dirty and abused.

The last time I loved was the last time I really lived.

So for the last time I close my heart and wait to die.

Piece Of Crap (Eddie Vedder & Ministry) (White Label Demo)

Neil Young) (various dates)
Tried to save the trees, bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out, it was a piece 'a crap...piece of crap...
Wanted an LP, only had CD's
Digitally clean, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...
Bought myself a can, thought it'd take me far
The dealer was a liar, he was a piece of crap...piece of crap...
Got it from my friend, on him you can depend
I found out in the end, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...
I'm trying to save the trees, I saw it on TV
They cut the forest down to build a piece of crap...piece of crap...
Picked up a magazine to read about the scene
It didn't tell me beans, it was a piece of crap...piece of crap...
I went back to the store, they gave me four more
The guy told me at the door it was a piece of crap...
It was a piece of crap

Lifer - Boring

come and take a look at what i've got inside
steppin' up to me will make you question your mind
so step up! step up! and eat a piece of your pride
even the big look kind of small

if you're gonna snooze ya' lose and don't forget it
and if it happens again guess you're never gonna get it
you'll never learn that you'll never knock me over
if you're offended by a freak stop coming to the show.

no name calling everthing will change
what will you do now that everthing is rearranged?
how can you sit there and laugh about the things that i do when i try?
would you try for me?
i'm fed up with everything but me
when i think back to how it used to be
sit there and watch me pretend

you bore me now
you bore me now
(what am i supposed to think?)
boring

Come On And Get A Big Piece

Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.

Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.

Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You thought had gone wrong.

Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.

I can no longer make excuses for me.
I can no longer be that,
Tragedy!
Hey...

Come on and get a big piece of love,

Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.

Come on and get a big piece of love,

Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.

I can't,
Stay safe...
Knowing without you,
I'm all alone.

I stay,
Awake...
Wondering,
Who's now in your home...
Playing 'Daddy'.

Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.

Come on and get a big piece of love.
Come on and get a big piece of love.

Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You thought had gone wrong.

Come on and get a big piece.
A bigger than a big big piece.

Is there anything for me, boo?
Do you mind if I boo hoo too?

Come on and get a big piece.
A bigger than a big big piece.

Come on and get a big piece of love,
My love...
You had thought had gone.

z-All Things

I came upon a man
who had long strips
of human heart
and he was
sewing then back together
piece by piece.

Close by
his friend
was collecting tears in bottles
and each tear was being filtered
to be hurt-free.

Others there
were working with Betrayal Notes
and Dear John missives
re-writing them
to reduce the pain.

Self Flagellaters
and Cutters
were given new blood and
wounds sealed.

Family abusers were laid prone
in the hot sun and blood boils
were lanced to their screams.

There was howling from two-timers
and mistresses; ,
killers
and politicians.

A 50 foot cauldron
was tipped
and they were added for seasoning;
the man then turned the heat up.

The two Agonies
clutched each others throat
and squeezed.

Blame was there
Blaming all
and Masochists agreed,
taking credit for all things bad
just for the attention.

There were Fallen Preachers
and Sinning Saints
run-aways
and the lost;
the homeless
the listless
the vacant
and the dying
the misbegotten
the soulless screamers
the babies
and the children;
the mangled war heroes
the Clinging Past
the Scary Future
the Unbearable Present;

the countless hordes
all lined up for their particular treatments.

I could not believe my eyes.
I asked no one in particular
where am I and who are you?

We are Time one said
where bad things get healed.

We are Retribution and Justice
Karma and Forgiveance
Kindnesses Revisited.

We all exist on the Non-Human plane
the Hidden Unseen-
which rights all wrong things
'In Time' one man said.
'In Time'
'In Time We Heal All Things'

5. Fashion

I remember in the sixties funky clothes were all the rage
We wore our wide bell-bottoms with such pride
I remember beige/brown herringbone an itchy woollen cloth
Caused rashes on our legs we tried to hide

I remember soaking water up a gallon to each leg
As the bags took on a shower full of rain
I remember just how long they were dragging on the ground
Fraying edges showing signs of wear again

I remember one particular pair a kind of mustard yellow
The legs of which kept catching in the car
I remember as I closed the door a leg end dangling out
Collecting oil from hinges with some tar

I remember trying to free myself once trapped within the door
Like a prisoner in the clothing that I wore
I remember pulling really hard until the trousers tore
When the stitching couldn’t take it any more

I remember my elation as the clothing fashion changed
Back to good old baggy jumpers and black jean
I remember how we have a laugh at things from years ago
And all those stupid fashions we have seen

Thousand Pieces

When I was born
My heart's shattered
Into thousand pieces
That's why
In my life
I always search my lost pieces

One by one
I look for it in many places
Piece by piece
I found it in many hearts

It is strange
Even though I
Never experience before
I feel like
I have known it
For a very long time

Memories
Favorites
Dreams
Fe elings

One by one
I collected many puzzles
Year by year
I got it back in many ways

Desires
Wills
Vows
Reasons
One by one
I take through many wounds
Piece by piece
I keep it in many stars
