They Are Gone
You may see their eyes.
You may think there is something inside,
That occupies and thrives.
But they are gone!
The 'attic' light is off not on!
There is nothing left to say,
Or criticize how they can 'live' that way!
They are gone.
And nothing left of value can be salvaged!
Some may feel it wrong to leave them...
And grieve.
But they are gone!
Never realizing,
The reasons why they were there!
Staring without a care...
They are gone!

Left Community
they say you broke the law
they said you were against God
no place for the lefties
no place for the different road
join us or leave us
enemy but not a friend
seems it was my mistake
or seems I'm the one who made
look to the mirror
for God's sake look to the mirror
the left is right and differents are same
and what seems right is just left
do you call it wrong for the same
but seems no reasons are left
from right to left
and from left they write
by God's creation that it was
and what it was seems what's right
look to the mirror
for God's sake look to the mirror
the left is right and differents are same
and what seems right is just left
do you call it wrong for the same
but seems no reasons are left
but while thought is running
and people are accusing
by the name of law they're calling
yes a leftie for law is breaking
and to all of you I say...
look to the mirror
for God's sake look to the mirror
the left is right and differents are same
and what seems right is just left
do you call it wrong for the same

Quietly
Quitely explodes your love
Your insecurity is so soft to me
I cant let you bleeding
We are falling into us
I see you dyin in my eyes
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on inside
Quietly we arrive
Your insecurity is so soft to you
You cant let me bleeding
We are falling into deep
Im dying in your open mouth
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on
You leave on inside
So you care
Leave them on
So you care
Leave them on with a shine
And you cant go on with your life
Its a fact we cant deny
If you have to go, please go quiet
Please go quietly
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
We go insane
Just let it all go
You left
So am i
You leave on
You leave on inside
Let it all go

Why For The Right Reasons
Why did you leave?
I ask why but receive no answer.
What was all the wrong reasons you left, because when you did you left a boy lonely and confused fending on only what he had, and what he has left; struggling to find himself.
So I ask again, but still no answer, for why would you leave when I needed you the most. Perhaps it was for selfish reasons, but choosing life or death we must consider which is easiest; because honestly many of us would have chosen the same. Death is easy, there is no more pain, no more hard-ache, no more troubles; Life is hard, filled with stress, head-aches on a day to day basis, its no wonder people sometimes are pushed... to the edge.
But this is not about other people, this is about you; for you taught me the dangers of the world but not all went threw. So I will ask you for a final time why did you leave? , you didn't just leave the world you left someone who needed you; ... who still does.
But because of what you taught me I hold no grudge against you, I love you, always have, always will. So now that you've been gone of course I've struggled, I've missed you, and because you left, I'm here fending for myself; lasting only so long before I'm forced to give in. But since you taught me of Him, I feel that I can last a lifetime; one of life, one with family with my sisters and brother, one due to the thanks of my wonderful mother; because what I now realize is that you never left for the wrong reasons, but because of all the right ones.

Five Children I
Five Children I
Once helped conceive,
I watched them grow
I watched them leave,
And each one left
A wound in me,
And some left two
And some left three.
And now when I
Cry out in pain
There’s not one left
To call my name,
There’s not one left
To grieve for me
Though I wept through
Each history.
But when they grow
They may conceive,
May learn to know
What wounds we leave,
And think back on
Some long despite
When I lay staring
Late at night.

Forgive or Forget
Its been many years
Since i lost you
The foundation of my family crushed
Since you walked out
Never to return again
You left with me in pieces
I never thought you would
Just leave without a care
Now im much older
And still i havent decided what to do
I can forgive
I can forget
Ive done neither since you left
If i forget
The pain you left will still live on
If i forgive
Ill only let go of the anger inside
Neither of the two help me move on
If i do neither of the two
Ill live with the pain
And the thoughts of you
If i do both
Ill only lose the anger
And forget who you are
But never what you did
What choice am i left with
All will still leave me torn
None will ever heal me
I cant decide what to do
Even though
The last piece of me
Is torn from my soul

There's Not Too Many Reasons
There's not too many reasons,
I would...
Set aside my pride.
And there's...
Not too many reasons,
I would...
Not have a peaceful sleep at night.
No!
There's not too many reasons,
Why I...
Wouldn't eat or wish to feel that need.
Or...
Feel a hopelessness inside me,
Without you.
No!
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not cope.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I'd give up hope.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I'd be on knees.
No...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not eat.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not sleep.
Or believe there's a me to live and breathe,
Without you.

A Plea
Take a look inside yourself,
and you'll see there's so much left.
No matter all the pain you feel.
Your aching heart is made of steel.
Your well of strength is deep and real.
Though you'll need some time to grieve.
The intensity of this pain will leave.
You still have so much left to do.
Don't let the suffering put an end to you.
Continue on with strength of mind.
With your worries left behind.
With a prayer and mighty soul.
You will never lose control.
Put these thoughts of death to rest.
You've still not seen the very best.
Think of all the freinds you'll miss.
Plus all of those you've not yet kissed.
It's not the end my precious freind.
Your splendid life has just began.

Youll Think Of Me
I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone elses arms
Ive been tryin my best to get along
But thats ok
Theres nothing left to say, but
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I dont needem
Take your space and take your reasons
But youll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact Ill feel a whole lot better
But youll think of me, youll think of me
I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess Im feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been
So
Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I dont needem
Take your space and take your reasons
But youll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact Ill feel a whole lot better
But youll think of me
Someday Im gonna run across your mind
Dont worry, Ill be fine
Im gonna be alright
While youre sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
Ill be over you
And on with my life
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I dont needem
And take your cat and leave my sweater
cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact Ill feel a whole lot better
But youll think of me
So take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I dont needem
Take your space and all your reasons
But youll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
cause we got nothing left to weather
In fact Ill feel a whole lot better
But youll think of me, youll think of me, yeah
And youre gonna think of me
Oh someday baby, someday

Some Lessons Learned Have to Go Into Immediate Effect
There are several reasons why,
I choose not to go out of my way for folks.
Most of them are thoughtless.
And the rest...
Get provoked!
I do not care what is done...
They will be back for more.
And once they have become addicted to this,
The 'victim' becomes disrespected.
If a wish and whim is dismissed.
There are several reasons why,
I choose not to go out of my way for folks.
Many simply do not care.
Who it is that supplies their needs.
Or who they have left pulling out their hair.
And I know that I have aged with values long gone.
When all I require is a 'thank you' from those I assist.
Is that so wrong?
And when that isn't given I re-evaluate my steps.
Realizing my 'next' desire to be taken by a fool...
Will not find me clicking my heels together.
To show my willingness to express,
A good deed done and at its best!
I may return the response I get.
By acting ungrateful, thoughtless and stunned...
When expectations are denied.
And my availability becomes a 'zero' for anyone.
Regardless if my denials for some might numb.
Some lessons learned have to go into immediate effect.
Like an anesthesia applied...
To 'awaken' some to digest!

A Right To Live (Fallen Angel Session Out-take)
I must thank Lord
In my hour of need
I've given way to a better man
But I ain't been free
To push the hour here
In this soul of mine
I've burned my bridges
And I'm satisfied
The preacher's due here
In an hour or so
To give me reasons for
The things I know
I might have been careless and I
I might have been blind
If I'm the guilty, I'm satisfied
Oh woman, why did you
Do me wrong?
Sending me down and
I just can?t get along
When daybreak comes and
I've reached the end of the line
I have a right to live
And I'm left to die
It all seems so hazy now
It seems so long ago
She hid the things she'd done
Or things I should know
What was I to do for
The hurting here inside
I kill for love but the ...
I have a right to live
When I'm left to die
Oh, woman

Gone Crazy
Here I am alone again tonight
In this old empty house
Its hard to learn what you dont
Think you need
You cant live without
Never leave the sound
Of the telephone
But ever since you left, Ive been gone
Gone crazy, goinout of my mind
Ive asked myself the reasons, at
Least a thousand times
Goinup and down this hallway
Tryinto leave the pain behind
Ever since you left, Ive been gone
I never saw your face this many times
When you were really here
The things you said I never
Understood
Are now crystal clear
I never spent this much time
At home
But ever since you left, Ive been gone

Otherside
Verse 1:
Let me know if you care,
I can still feel that theres something left between us and I,
I know that this feeling is here to stay and it's not gonna go away.
I feel like this angel is gonna leave me all alone
So I close my eyes and see you in my home,
Chorus:
Slipping through my hands,
And she begins to cry,
I'll wait to see you on the other side
Look in to her eyes as she begins to cry
I'll wait to see you on the other side
Verse 2:
My bedroom friend is leaving but I'm still dreaming all alone
So I close my eyes and see you in my home
Other bit:
I feel theres something left here and I know this feelings here to stay,
I feel the angel leave me,
Close your eyes to see me,
I feel theres something left here and I know this feelings here to stay,
I feel the angel leave me,
Close your eyes to see your other side.

All Or Nothing
I hope you can hear this
A song for the way that I feel tonight
Were tired and fearless
And run out of places left to hide
So come along
Were better off dead
If we cant live for something
Im in all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
Im all out of reasons
For keeping it all locked up inside
Theres no use in waiting
Im laying it out there on the line
So bring it on
Right or wrong
Theres nothing left for me to lose so
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
So come along
Were better off living like
Its all that weve got
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back

Staring At The Sun
Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all
I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside
I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach
To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind
Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me
You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

E is for the comfort,
You give to me
E is for the peace, I feel inside
E is for the good times
That go against the bad times
E is for the world you gave us
And left us here behind
They say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Let's talk about it
E is for the reason
To live through urban grey
E is for the warm glow,
That takes the fear away
Show us what is better
Why don't you stand inside
these shoes
Oh live with me each Monday...
Let's see what you would do...
Which world do you live in?
Which world did you choose?
Hiding the tears, that's all
No win
No lose

Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say
Tell me what's so wrong with E
That's what I hear them say

Live Again
When you turned and walked away
You said all you had to say
It was over
You just couldnt understand
How deeply I had given all my love to you
I was left alone in tears
Our life together had become a memory
And as far as I can see
There was darkness
And I had nothing left inside but pain and sorrow
I had no plans for my tomorrow
And I had to find a reason
That would make me live again
Live again
Now today
I feel my life is worth living
I have someone who is giving
Someone to share each new day
Someone who will always stay
When I think of yesterday
It all seems so far away
Im so happy
And I feel as my life has just begun
And that the world is gonna be mine
It is this feeling deep inside me
That has made me live again
Live again
Live again

Beware! Criminal
You crawl in bed, it's 3am
You smell of wine and cigarettes
A butterfly under the glass
You are beautiful
But you're not going anywhere
We do the same thing every night
I swear I've heard this song before
A swimmer who has seen a shark
I should really be more wary of the water
You came, you saw, you conquered
Everyone
And I'm left here guessing
Oh what went wrong?
Yeah, I'm down
But not out, and far from done
Hey all! Beware! criminal.
A prison with an intellect
You throw your light selectively
You stole my glow, a seasoned thief
The blacks of my eyes are turning into opals
Today, I'll walk
There's nothing here left for me but empty promises
And the thought of all the things I'm never getting back
You came, you saw, you conquered
Everyone
And I'm left here guessing
Oh what went wrong?
Yeah, I'm down
But not out, and far from done
Beware criminal
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
Did you really think I wouldn't care?
Did you think I wouldn't notice?
Did you really think I wouldn't care?
You came, you saw, you conquered
And I'm left here bleeding
Oh, what went wrong?
Yeah, I'm down
