Saturation
You are made to understand,
One just met
Is trying to forget
Another who has claimed
To have been left
With a broken heart.
It's a familiar story!
But will 'this' one quickly end?
Before another minute of time is given,
To it! ?
One is hopeful.
But faith begins to fade!
As one sits,
Beginning the first...
Of recurring stirs.
And each conversation started...
No matter what the subject.
Begins by a reminiscing memory...
Of who did what to whom, when and why?
A consoling is tried.
With a lightness to keep things uplifted.
A saturation is realized.
And then comparisons begin!
An exchange of discussions,
About her or him or them does not end.
Even the hands on the watched clock...
Seem to have come to a stop!
The time slows!
And an exit seems to be moving,
Further and further away!
Until it is announced...
'How can I be so absentminded'?
A pot roast has been left in the oven!
Unseasoned.
And that is not acceptable.
Nor is this excuse used.
Especially when it has been mentioned...
How one prides on being vegetarian!
'Will those comments be remembered? '
One thinks and gives direct eye contact!
Something had to be done,
Before one becomes too deeply involved!
And a promise is made to make another date.
With calls to be placed...
Once schedules have been checked and confirmed.
However...
One already knows,
There will be no availability.

My Promise to You
I sit here on the mountains peak
In the pouring rain
Crying painful tears
the blade in my hand so persuasive
I try to stay calm
Trying not to slide it over my small wrist
I keeo thinking to myself
Should i slide it across
And watch my life slip away
You left me alone and on my own
I lost you for so long
My heart begins to hurt
I stopped when i thought of you
And the promise that i made to you
Although things are hard and unstable
I will try not to break the promise i made to you
As time passes life gets harder
My promise to you has just been broken
Im sorry this has happened
I should not have promised something
I knew i couldnt keep

Dont Walk Away
Dont walk away
See I just cant find the right thing to say
I tried but all my pain gets in the way
Tell me what I have to do so youll stay
Should I get down on my knees and pray
Chorus 1:
And how can I stop losing you
How can I begin to say
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
I close my eyes
Just to try and see you smile one more time
But its been so long now all I do is cry
Cant we find some love to take this away
cause the pain gets stronger every day
Chorus 2:
How can I begin again
How am I to understand
When theres nothing left to do but walk away
See now why
All my dreams been broken
I dont know where were going
Everything we said and all we done now
Dont let go, I dont wanna walk away
Now why
All my dreams are broken
Dont know where were going
Everything begins to set us free
Cant you see, I dont wanna walk away
If you go, I wont forget you girl
Cant you see that you will always be
Even though I had to let you go
Theres nothing left to do
Dont walk away

Specters
What is the architecture of a life?
Not the bricks and mortar of cells,
The branches of arteries and veins,
Sinews, muscles or bone that made you.......
The gene machine.
The big bang with which every life begins.
I am grateful to the sperm donor;
To the warm wet nest that nurtured me,
Until the time I made my first appearance.
It is the only time you have centre stage,
The star.
For me though there were no loving arms
Gentle words,
Lullaby,
Having made me, the two principles left
Exit stage right.
They sadly could not stick around,
To mess me up or be of any influence,
But they made me, gave me life
The architects if not the builders,
That was left to kinder hands.
So why are always specters at my feast?

Here we are trying to mend all the broken hearts
In a world where the pain is the fear
Aint no doubt theres a method to madness here
Set your clock to the start of a brand new year
Shine your heart to the universe and get the news
Not alone never have been, never will be
See the truth, not to mention the promise made
See them all, see them all high on judar rhythm

How the promise will come when the promise is made
We will sing at the very first spring
That the promise will come when the promise is made
Promise is made, promise is made
Shake me up, take me up
Face to face
Lift me up, shake me up
Face to face
Make me real, make me longing to see you smile
Shall we dancing, shall we be the dancing down under
In this life of lives, are we ready to take the chance
Moving to the rhythm, here at last to
Believe
To believe
We began at the first real spring
How the promise will come when the promise is made
We will sing at the very first spring

We began at the first real spring
We will sing at the very first spring

Reminiscing
*note: this is taken from 5iveweb, Im not sure the lyrics are 100% true. Ill try to get the real ones soon, cos theres this missing part here too!*
Yo, Ive got a little story that Id like to address
To individuals, gotta get it off my chest
It aint about whos the best
Or five being better than the next
Were just a little different from the rest
Cos see, we got each other
When things go down
And time is just too important to be messin around
So understand not what Im trying to say
But appreciate living life day to day
So how does it feel to be the only ones
Left out in the rain cos youre phoney ones
Wake up and realise what you live is a dream
Aint gonna be there for long even though it may seem
Like a never ending story
You in it for the money or the glory
Open up your ears or ignore me
All Im tryin to do is be the man I am and be the best in this world I can
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
You got to open your mind up and kick both your feet up
Ill hit you with a tale of how the five of us were meet up
Were just five guys who wanna rise to the skies
No ......... we got a vision in our eyes
Now people wanna step up and try to hold us back
They wanna try to stop us getting freaky on this track
But this is how we kick it and this is how we swing
And this is how I hit you with the funk that I bring
Now you gotta select to connect not disrespect
And you gotta learn to keep your negativity in check
Cos everybody knows what goes around comes around
Ill put it down with my sound
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on...

Catapulted
The telephone rings
and you wonder who it is.
Picking it up you say hello
and the voice answers,
“How are you? ”
Suddenly you are catapulted
to a different time and place
by a voice you used to know.
A conversation begins
and the years slip away.
It’s nice to hear from a friend
you used to know.
The reminiscing makes time slip by
and soon the conversation has ended
with a promise of talking again
and you feel comforted
in that thought
you two will speak again.

Save Myself (You Like That? Mix)
Stop
Take a minute take a breath
From the pressure from the need to know why
What makes you a-li-i-i-i-i-i-i-ive
Why do we rely on ourselves
Putting God up on a shelf we depend
On what's left in our hands
It feels right and we believe
There won't be a suddenly
But we keep running faster
Isn't it so nice to think
If we lived in harmony
There'd be a happy ever after
(CHORUS)
It doesn't matter if I
Have faith to move a mountain
Drink the ocean dry
Baby, I could never save myself
It doesn't matter if I
Can reach into the deepest
Corners of my mind
Baby, I could never save myself
Stop
We put God in a box
Spend our time watching the clock while we wait
For a release that will take us away
We come down with a crash
But do we have another chance to go back?
Is that gonna make it OK?
Hold your breath and you will see
In the end you'll have to breathe
But we keep running faster
Fast we forget reality
If you fall you're gonna bleed
There is no happy ever after
(CHORUS)
(BRIDGE)
Falling out under sorrow
Glimpses of the past of
What I used to think and
Who I used to be
I'm realizing all this frailty
That I hide in me
It doesn't matter
If I defy the laws of gravity
The mystery
I could neva save myself
It doesn't matter
If I started over
In my own world
I could neva save myself
It doesn't matter if I, if I, if I I I I I
(Chorus 2xs)
Save myself
Save myself
Save myself
Save myself

More Couth With Tact Would Benefit
I try not to imply,
With comments to affect...
Those who may be offended,
By what is said believed to be indirect.
And there is 'something' in between lines,
To be found and suspect...
That I have mentioned with comments,
Made less effective because they are not direct.
And not a bush do I beat with dragging feet...
To leave anyone to guess,
What it is I have left to ponder in wonderment.
I do not suffer from a lip that is bitten.
But I do admit,
More couth with tact would benefit my approach.

Falling Off
I was a young man
Whose intentions were good
Kept my hands in my pockets
The way that I should
I soon found out
They got a mind of their own
Beginning to think
I had a heart
Made of stone
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I try to remember
I try to forget
I┬┤ll keep my promise
Is that what I said
I had your number
But I didn┬┤t call
I got no excuse
I got my back to the wall
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
My eyes don┬┤t want to see
My ears don┬┤t want to hear
The things that make me feel
That keep me so endeared to you
It makes me think
Is that the best I can do
It doesn┬┤t matter
The time that I fall
I'm up for the next one
Like I'm ten feet tall
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off
I keep falling off

No matter what you think you have,

You've been watched a lot.

No matter what you think you have,

You've been watched a lot.
Whenever you misbehave,
You've been watched a lot.

Turned it up a notched.

No matter what you think you have,

You've been watched a lot.
No matter how careful you make it.
You've been watched a lot.
Even simple things you do...
They may say you do that too!
You've been watched.
No matter what you think you have,

No matter how careful you make it.
You've been watched a lot.
Even simple things you do...
They may say you do that too!
People are so fascinated,
They fantasize you being naked.
You've been watched,
Around the clock.
You are being watched...
Nonstop.
You've been watched,
Around the clock.
You are being watched...
Nonstop.
You've been watched,
Around the clock.
You are being watched...
Nonstop.
Nonstop.

When tommorow begins without me
When tomorrow begins the new day,
I will not be here for you to see.
Please dont let the sun rise
and see the tears you shed for me.
I don't want you to cry for me like you did today.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry.
The way you did today,
I know how much you loved me,
And I loved you all too.
And of corse I understand that you'll miss me.
I will miss you too but your all in my heart.
But now when tomorrow begins without me,
Please try to find it in your heart understand.
Gods angels called my name,
They reached out a hand to me and said it's time to go.
And So I took theire hand.
My place was ready in heaven above.
I cried tears as I lert you all behind.
But you'll be coming with me in my heart.
But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye.
For all my lifeI wanted to the fight todie.
In the end I felt there wasn't much left for me.
And yet I wanted one more day.
I wanted to say my goodbyes but is the one thing I couldn't do.
But then I f realised this could never be.
For you would have stopped me even though my time had come.
And when I thought of you all left behind.
My heart was filled with guilt sorrow.
But as I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt peace and harmony.
When God looked at me and smiled at me,
He said Amy this is eternity.
Here you can start afresh.
I promise you no tomorrows only today.
Your life on earth is now your past.
Here you don't have to worry about your past.
God said to me Amy come take my hand.
And it was then I finally began to understand.
God had choosen my pain to end.
So when tomorrow begins without me,
Please know we are not apart,
We live on in each others hearts

I Can't Understand
(Hank DeVito)
If you could read my mind
You'd know how hard I tried
But losing was not my plan
And I can't understand
With all those tears I cried
I should have realized
That I'd never hold you again
And I can't understand
I can't understand
Why you left my love behind
I can't understand
But I'll love you 'til the end of time
I search my memory
For the reason you don't love me
You're passing right through my hands
And I can't understand
If love wasn't meant to be
Then why have this hold on me
I tried to be strong, but then
I can't understand
If you could read my mind
Then you'd know how hard I tried
Losing was not my plan
And I can't understand
So when we meet as friends
My heart will break again
If that's how the story ends
Then I can't understand
If that's how the story ends
Then I can't understand

The Story Ends
Nothing feels right today
All whats left is nothing left to say
Each word seems so cold
And all stories seem told
How did it come this far ?
Is this the way, the way things are ?
Heres where the story fails
How did it come this far ?
Heres where the picture pales
Is this the way things are ?
No, Ive never found the place
To charm your chill, to wrap you in
Whatever the books may say
You get only whats on your way
Beyond our words we crave for more
Another road, another open door
Here is where my life begins
Leaving this world of sense
Here is where fiction begins
Here is where nothing stands.........still
When silence comes in , and creeps underneath the skin
If the lost word is lost and the spent word is spent
This is the time, this is the place where the story ends
Where the story ends
Where the story ends

The Magic Wand Of The Too Familiar
it happens all the time
the most familiar things and events and people
come daily and they become so ordinary
and then
you wonder
somehow
something
unfamiliar begins to strike you
making some furrows in your face
it becomes magical
a wand of the familiar
turns you into a prince
a sword is handed to you
a horse for you to mount
upon
a heart that begins its journey
on some adventures
that were there once
in your youth
you become alive
then the world changes its colors
and you realize
you never notice
something had long been put here
how foolish you have been
for not noticing such a familiar thing?

Initiation You Know Will Irritate
Why should it have to explained?
Figure it out!
You have a brain.
And why some do,
I wonder of the use?
My comments aren't always patronizing.
And if a useless one could be renovated?
Only another miracle has been witnessed.
Is every thought in this air confusing you?
I can understand if it does.
You wish to play with the best of my emotions.
And I am looking for the nearest exit.
Somehow what had been attractive,
With skin tone claims and nonexistent depth...
Begins to devalue in purpose.
There is absolutely nothing left between us,
But a shared unpleasant attitude.
If I do anything you dislike or don't understand...
Why introduce an initiation you know will irritate?
You send an invitation to irritation each time.
And you want me to explain...
Why that white picket fence,
Wont find us together building it!

Take My Hand.....
just a minute ago i
passed by a marriage
ceremony in the
church the bride with it's
lavish gown
splendid with flower
around the aisle
seems forget to notice the
groom near
the altar, waiting to take
up his part
wow!
everybody smile and
clap their hands with a
thundering
cheered it’s really a special
day
between two heart
whose love
seems no one can stop,
everything has
come to witness the moment
of time, the two actors, who
promise and believe of what ends
at the start of the
beginning of love, a cherish
of feeling to tell
that has fulfill of what is time
a decision of will to
last in a life, until when death
well then
separate their bodies
its a promise to take one as
spouse to
each one, of where
the end will begin and
takes it rest
and the heavenly Father
bless and take
them forever and ever....Amen

Those of Actions and Less Words
Anyone can make comments,
About feelings meant.
Feelings claimed to have!
But kept in one's mind,
Where that time has been spent!
However...
Those of actions and less words,
Impress with images lasting.
And it is the consistency of their thoughts and deeds...
That keeps one in someone's mind,
As one that can be believed without doubt or question.
Too many people today express in public flair,
How deep their loyalty for another is...
And so profess what is kept,
But not truthfully there to be addressed.
With confessions made to others,
As if this passes a test.
While it is the things done they do...
That disproves a conviction spoken.
And not in their hearts to followed through.
Although dramatized displays are created,
To show how someone by another,
Has been made to become upset.
This is straight from a 101 Beginner's Acting Manual.
And those on the receiving end,
Are not tricked to be fooled by deceptions that begin.
Feelings they have are invested too!
And these feelings for them are protected to defend.
Not tossed about in meaningless conversations.
Conversations to impress but without a depth connected.
Anyone can make comments,
About feelings meant.
Feelings claimed to have!
But kept in one's mind,
Where that time has been spent!

Do I Know You
(toby keith)
Do I know you
Have we ever met
Youve got a smile I could never forget
Perhaps youve mistaken me for someone you know
Whats that you say
Am I losin my mind
Thats just one of the things girl
That I left behind
You must be talkin about something
That happened a long time ago
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
Theres a look in your eyes
Ive seen before
Its all too familiar but I cant be sure
Ive got a memory somewhere
That looks a lot like you
Im still confused
With these feelings inside
I want to reach out and hold you and I wanna hide
Tell me did I really love you
Or are you someone that I never knew
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart
If I forgot to remember your name and your face
Excuse me forgetting I must have misplaced
That part of my life that left all the scars
From the back of my mind, to the bottom of my heart

Never Stop
You say shes a very good friend
Circumstances I should understand
But like recurring tide she comes on to you
And looks as though shes looking for a man
Honey dont make yourself so available
My prides in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still all in all I forsee my own fall
But Ive climbed too far to drop
So stop
I know its your ego keeps the smile on your face
Because you know you got your options open
Shes a beguiling snake and shell keep what she takes
But when she leaves you Ill be the one coping
Honey dont make yourself so available
My prides in my pocket but I can be reasonable
Still through and through I can see clean through you
I know you like to be the one on top
But stop
You will miss my conversation
When youre talking to yourself
Youll be thumbing for advice
Through the pages of the novels on your shelf
Honey dont you see our love togethers the very best bet
Put your focus on me and Ill forgive and forget
Throw away your hidden ace you clever man
And take my hand
You neednt play the part of your image
This is not a one act play were living
And as long as Im here the situation is clear
Itll be 50/50 take and giving
Honey dont you see a lifetimes not much to ask
Take off your costume and remove your mask
If yes is what you will say were gonna start from today
Were gonna take it to the very top
And never stop
