Pleading
Picking up the pieces
Of the mess i left behind
The mess that is my life
Broken promises
Painful memories
Of all the good times that we shared
Does it all mean nothing now?
Have i thrown my life away in an instant?
My life i've thrown away
Being you?
I was young
I was naive
I didn't know what i was leaving
But now i do
Your on my mind
All year though
Do you know what you mean to me?
Do you know what you are to me?
Do you know there could never be..... another?
Do you see this look on my face?
It is only you who could erase
This expression on my face
It's so true
It's only ever been you
Please..
I'm on my knees
Please..
Give it some thought
I only want one more chance
This are my last resort
Do you know what you mean to me?
Do you know what you are to me?
Do you know there could never be..... another?
Do you see this look on my face?
It is only you who could erase
This expression on my face
It's so true
It's only ever been you...

Autumn Years
Picking up the pieces of my life
I wonder why the hell I ever came here
A man without a future left to face
And nothing but a memory to embrace
Holding on to threads of sanity
Imagining the roads I could have taken
It fills me with a deepening sense of shame
And outside I can hear the pouring rain
There is a place
Where in my mind I escape
And there I understand the way I feel
And deep in this world of make-believe
I will spend my autumn years with you
Sitting in this grey and sunless world
I try to come to terms with guilty feelings
A man about to pay the final price
And nothing but his breath to sacrifice
Therell be a time
When Ill be gone from your mind
A fading ghost that soon will disappear
And deep in my would of endless pain
I must face my autumn years
Im picking up the pieces, Im picking up the pieces
Im picking up the pieces, Im picking up the pieces
Picking up the pieces of my life

Thrown Away
Lives are discarded daily
for one reason or another.
Some are put in body bags
when they go to war.
Others are thought as hopeless
and are carelessly thrown away.
Some resist the movement
and within them the will to live is strong.
They fight for every moment
that their breath may give to them.
They want nothing more than to live,
the right of every mortal thing t
hat walks on the face of this good earth.
Before we discard a life,
we must give that life a chance to live.
Life is too precious
to be ever thrown away.

Time Of Our Life
Hey, I can see that smile on your face
Tonight, memories will never erase
And I feel like our time has come
Our hearts are beating wild as one
True love, I know is hard to find
But you tonight, You're mine
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Hey, I hope you feel the same way I feel
Cause tonight the moon, the stars,
This moment is so real, To us we had everything
Our hearts have a song to sing
We now know that dreams come true
Cause now there's me and you
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we dance the night away
What can I say to you, You make life a holiday
Let's go and play, Let's go and play
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Didn't we have the time of our life tonight
Come on and sing the song
Come on and sing along

To my lost one (villanelle)
If you come from a unknown place
from where I am, as if thrown
into my life and we again meet face-to-face
it may be by God’s grace
and we may leave the paths well trodden and known.
If you come from a unknown place
wherever it may be, carrying just one suitcase
I will be happy to meet you, if you come alone
into my life and we again meet face-to-face
and if you want to, we can disappear without a trace
be on our own, without anyone.
If you come from a unknown place
and walk into my embrace,
my lost one, come without a chaperone
into my life and we again meet face-to-face
our pasts will be erased
and all unhappiness will be gone,
if you come from a unknown place
into my life and we again meet face-to-face.

Face To Face
Key:-
A - anita

A: face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Face to face and eye to eye
R: leaves from the tree, fall down on the floor
Life comes and goes, you cant ignore
Touch your soul when you finally realize
Youve heard it all before all the lies
Youre on a mission, no time for wishing
It can be magic, like a magician
Face to face and eye to eye
This is your last and final try
A: face to face and eye to eye
We look the world right in the eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Youve one last chance and baby, so will i
R: will we all succeed or is it over soon?
Nobody around just stars and the moon
A race against the clock, is there some time?
Just wait for the light, wait for the sign
You made the same mistakes that you made in the past
Didnt help you out, didnt make you last
Face to face and eye to eye
This was your last and final try
A: face to face and eye to eye
We look the world right in the eye
Face to face and eye to eye
Youve one last chance and baby, so have i

What Is A Face?
What is a face
that wears no smile?
'Tis only the face
that's been hurt for a while.
What is a face
that's gracious to see?
'Tis surely the face
of serenity.
What is a face
with wondrous eyes?
'Tis one that sees
beyond the skies.
What is a face
with saddened eyes
'Tis the face of a soul
with inner cries.
What is a face
that's hard to define?
'Tis one with no expression
of any kind.

Uncertain Weather
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photograph
He must have had a life
Maybe with a family
People who meant everything to him
A sinner, a saint, a soldier
Caught up in a war he never
Had a chance to start or build a life
All gone long ago
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
To become just a face without a name
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
Hopes and fears important plans
Forgotten memories
Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh
Schemes and dreams small and grand
Nothing left to see
Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh
Someone who cast a shadow
Maybe just a lazy man
Doesnt make much difference now its true
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever
A face in a faded photograph
All gone long ago
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
To become just a face without a name
One more to add to the total
Of those never heard of again
Yes hes gone
Just a face without a name
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind
All gone
Just a face without a name
Leaving no trace
Disappearing like smoke in the wind...

Broken child
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who has seen more than his young eyes should.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who would run away from it all if he could.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who has been ravished by the likes of you and I.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child with to much pride to cry.
I see the face off a broken child.
a child who fights off anyone who cares.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who wishes his mother was there.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who wont let his hardships keep him down.
I see the face of a broken child.
A child who refuses to give up and reveal a frown.

Your Other Face
There again
I saw your other face
I saw your other expression
That I never had before
Face that will never be showed for me
Because there’s only somebody else
Can make your face like that
Face that show not for me
But for other people I don’t know
I hate to see it, I become jealous
Like I don’t have you completely
Like you have thousand other faces
That I never see, that you hide from me
Like I’m out of the circle and you become distant
Do I have those faces too?
Face that only show for me
Face that comes out because of me
Face that only show when there’s nobody else but me
I will keep it as mine
I will never share to anyone
Face that only for me
So I can have part of you
That nobody else has ever known or seen

Not Try to Keep Up a Pace
You've got to live life right,
To make it...
Through another day you can face.
Do you wish all that bad havoc would erase,
The days you face.
You wish escape,
From the days you face.
Do you wish all that bad havoc would erase,
The days you face.
You wish escape,
From the days you face.
You've got to live life right,
To make it...
Through another day you can face.
And not try to keep up a pace.
You've got to live life right,
To make it...
Through another day you can face.
And not try to keep up a pace.

For My Father
Reaching upward as I never believed
I could do, not within this moment-
Searching for life’s meaning, heaven sent and
Written across the stone of some unfamiliar despondent
Figure from my past-
Was an invitation for me to follow in your footsteps –
Much less you, my own father who passed away years ago
I can almost hear you calling my name aloud as I
Search for relief from all of the pain-
My stone is waiting and patiently standing- in my dying breath- as
I climb this stairway towards hell- I say-
Father you were a good man with such a zest for life although
Only evil people with no conscience
Burn in hell’s brush fire
In your eyes and mine likewise death is hell
In itself- in our eyes life has always been a challenge,
Life is indeed a gift- while death is a rude awakening-
Perhaps if I climb this ladder I am tenuously holding onto-
I will find you once again when I reach the top-
I remember being your one and only,
As I remember you to be a godsend –
Reaching upward is reaching outward to
Embrace the most gentle, loving and
The most gallant man- in all due respect-
Meeting you face to face once more
Would erase the pain of loss I feel and
In my heart, mind and spirit-
Loss is none but hell and reuniting with you
Will give us both a second chance at life –
- Let hell’s fire burn-if not for just this moment-
It shall light the candle I hold in my hand
Blazing a path before me- until we meet once more-
Much less to be held in your arms-
The heaven of both of our dreams come true-
Love puts out all malevolent fires-as would a fountain of youth or
A cleansing shower- let fondest memories of the good times
We shared turn the hell of death to
A warm rebirth – no matter where that light shall guide us-
That place shall be our one and only heaven-

Bloody Mess
shes left in the middle of the room,
beaten and broken,
she crys out in the night,
no one around,
to say its alright,
shes bleeding from unknown places,
she passes out in the bloody mess,
her husband gone,
never to return,
she lays there slowly bleeding out,
the baby inside her,
no longer alive,
her husband killed her and left a bloody mess,
with tears and blood stained to her face,
she gave her life,
for her husbands bloody mess

The Face
And the face I wear
won't stay the same
it changes
from day to day
so untamed
Either a smile
or frown
maybe a smug smirk
or an indifferent
expression
Someone will notice
someone always notices
the angle
of today's face
They look at my lips
and wonder
'Why didn't he smile
like yesterday? '
They appreciate my face
as a form of entertainment
But I swear,
one of these days
I'm going to forget my face
at home
and on the day that I do
will be the day
I'll appreciate it most

A last breath
The world doesn’t cease to exist with your last breath
It has nothing to do with your survival or death
You have your hay day so long you are strong
With no existence you won’t be remembered for long
It moves on and moves on with purpose
No one waits for anyone and suppose
Kings too abdicate thrown in somebody’s favor
It is continuous process and goes on for ever
At some later stage we may be noticed
You will be taken note of and well received
It is nothing but slight contribution for cause
In absence of it there will be complete peace and pause
Who has the time to look at you?
Everybody s trying to be successful and pass through
Some one trying disparity with all tricks to, woo
This in fact is reality and very true
No one works here for anybody
This fact is in knowledge of everybody
You enjoy the life so long you are strong
You will be thrown away the moment you are proved wrong
The mighty may survive and weakest perish
Life will be hell and just finished
The chances are rare and diminished
The life may be just waste and vanished
Score brilliantly and stay in race
All turns and tides you have to face
What ever may be the merits of case?
You will have to imprint new and old to erase
It is not easy to hold
Failure for sure even if you are bold
It has something to do with good name
Rest will follow automatically with fame

HURTING YOU...by talile ali
HURTING YOU
I SAW YOU IN THE BATHROOM
LOOKING AT YOUR FACE
AS THE MIRROR IMAGED
THINGS YOU COULD NOT ERASE
THE LINE, THE PITS, AND SHADOWS
THEY GOT THE BEST OF YOU OK
THATS WHY YOU'RE OUT THERE PLUGGIN
SCREWIN YOUR LIFE AWAY
YOU KEEP ON TRYNG TO FIND
SOME PEACE AND HAPPINESS
BUT ON THE PATH THAT YOUR ON
WILL BE YOUR FINAL MESS
FIRES IN THE DRY GRASS
NOTHING IF NOT TRUE
THINGS YOU DO TO YOURSELF
YOU DO TO US ALL, TOO
SO BABE, WITH ALL MY LOVIN
REFLECT ON WHAT YOU GOT
AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE DONE
BY SOMEONE YOU DO NOT
I CAN'T HELP MY LOVIN WHO YOU
BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BE
AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE WHO
YOU ARE IN SPITE OF ME
BUT THE PICTURES OH SO CLEAR NOW
THE PAIN THAT DOES SO DEFINE YOU
TO GET DRUNK AND DO IT
WITH SOME DUMMY DEEP INSIDE WHO
DOESN'T THINK YOU ARE WORTH MORE
THAN A SCORE

That's The Way Love Goes
I knew I loved you
right from the start
You changed the rhythm of my heart
Even thou it would beat at a steady pace
Whenever you came around,
it would suddenly start to race
Other times slightly flutter and redden my face
This thing for you I just can't erase
For no one seems to be able to replace you
Or just fit in your place
Even thou you're gone now
I still can't escape
The times we shared
so long ago
I can still even see your face

well its ok to feel you're the only

just like the story goes
if you been raised
to believe in your soul
i'm sure you'll find your face
face in the sun

well its ok to be loved with
the way the sun shines above your face
well its ok if you've had enough of this
a lack of light been around for days
inside thinking of sunsets
leaving behind
i hope i find my face
face in the sun

Got your mother in a whirl
Got your mother in a whirl cause
Shes not sure if youre a boy or a girl
Hey, babe, your hairs alright
Hey, babe, lets go out tonight
You like me, and I like it all
We like dancing, and we look divine
You love bands when they play it hard
You want more, and you want it first
Put you down, say Im wrong
You tacky thing, you put them on
Rebel rebel, youve torn your dress
Rebel rebel, your face is a mess

Youve torn your dress, your face is a mess
You cant get enough, but enough aint the test
Youve got transmission and a live wire
Got your cue lines and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dues
And I love your dress
Youre a juvenile success
Because your face is a mess
So how could they know?
I said, how could they know?
To what you wanna know
Calamitys child, chi-chile, chi-chile
Whered you wanna go?
Can I do for you? looks like youve been there too

And your face is a mess

Everything is broken nothing is right
Everything around me is broken.
Nothing remains a whole.
For anger overtakes my life.
Leaving me in hell of a rage.
I have a broken heart.
I have a broken body.
My head a mess.
My heart shatted in a millon peices.
Broken trust broken life.
Broken bottel broken glass.
Nice sharp razor blade.
Blood pouring down.
Blood running in a stream.
Flowing peacfully away.
Now the badness is free.
If only for a while.
Repeat the cycle.
Dont face to my emotions.
Just cut it all away.
