Aging
when already old, what do you think never lost?
human, when already old will know fear and become shy
used to pretend not see, pretend not listen
maybe you yearn your youth, but when realize
the life stops
when already old, the last thing gone is worry
you really know the world so you lose courage
you even don't want to see your hair color
of course, there some who covered by despair and boredom
every minutes and seconds go so slowly
of course, there some who too exhausted and do nothing
even though that, don't think because it's too late
you don't like yourself right now
don't shame to be afraid, just do what you think
if finally you realize you're wrong, you still can fix it, don't give up!
you are so tough, old, and wise to keep strong
you should love that aging
stand by feet, because it is your charm and your biggest weapon

Immature
when grows old, what do you think lost?
human when grows old will recognize shame and become coward
learn to pretend not see, to pretend not listen
maybe that's called adult but, when realize
the growth stops
when grows old, the first thing gone is courage
you don't know the world so you don't know fear
you even can't see your own foot palm
of course, there are some who covered by uncertainty and emptiness
every minutes and seconds are too precious
of course, there are some who in too much of a hurry
and lost their identity
even though that, don't think because you are not mature
you don't like yourself right now
don't be afraid to shame, just do what you think
if by the end you realize you're wrong
you can fix it soon, it's alright!
you are so flexibel, young and wise to stand strong
you should love that immaturity
raise your head, because it is your charm and your biggest weapon

I Cant Pretend
Charles tobias / paul rusincky (w. edward breuder? )
I cant pretend
Im sorry were apart
I cant pretend
I just cant fool my heart
Though I make mine
My friends all seem to realize
Their smiles, that look in my eye
I cant pretend
I simply cant be gayer
For in the end
My tears give me away
Without you dear
I live a lie
I cant defend
I love you
And I cant pretend

Play This Game
I could be jealous and grasping with greed
I could pretend that I want something I dont need
These are the things that go through my head
But then, I could be an angel disguised as a man
I could be the sun that shines in the midnight land
If you would only stand in my corner
Give that advantage to me
Dont you feel something?
You know what Im thinking but
I cant set it free
We must
Play this game, take the prize
But not before you realize
That win or lose, its all the same
Then maybe we can play this game
I cant remember the reason Im here
Sometimes it seems like its all out of habit or fear
Sometimes I wish I could just go to sleep
But then, Ill have a dream with a beautiful end
Ill wake up and feel alive, then Im off again
If I could only keep your connection
Give me whatever remains
Then I might win you total liberation
But I cant break these chains
We must
Play this game
Lets pretend that we could never reach the end
For it would be a crying shame
If we cant learn to play this game
Stand in my corner
Give that advantage to me
Stand in my corner
Pull down a message with me
The answer that evades our brains
We only think were wearing chains

You'll Always Have Me
The hurting time has come
And now your whole world has come undone
When youyou lose your heart you can't go on
What you think is love is really, really not that strong
Chorus:
When you're all alone and need someone around
Just remember I won't let you down
When you finally find just what you're looking for
They close a door, someone has set you free
You'll always have me
There's no use to pretend
Just gotta find the strength to start again
'Cause when you lose it all, it's so unfair
When you're down and out, you call me and I'll be there
(Chorus)
Ooh don't slip away
When darkness comes you realize
(Solo)

Say It
Don't tell me
If you're leavin' in the mornin'
I don't wanna have a warnin'
If you're not here
Just take me
Please take me for the last time
'Cause baby now is not the right time
For us to be scared
Yes, I know I wasn't perfect
When we fall and cried all those nights
But the passion that we have is too strong
To give up the fight
So I need you to say it
If you really want to let me go
'Cause I don't believe you know I don't
Won't you tell me the truth?
Yes, I need you to say it
If you really want this love to end
Look me in the eye, you can't pretend
That what we have is through
Don't tell me
If there's someone else inside you
Doin' all the things that I do
'Cause I don't want to hear it
Just take me
Don't wanna feel no more resistance
So we don't have to go the distance
'Cause we're already there
Yes, I know I wasn't perfect
When I realize all those times
But the passion that we have is too strong
To give up the fight
So I need you to say it
If you really want to let me go
'Cause I don't believe you know I don't
Won't you tell me the truth?
Yes, I need you to say it
If you really want this love to end
Look me in the eye, you can't pretend
That what we have is through
So I need you to say it
If you really wanna let me go
'Cause I don't believe you know I don't
Won't you tell me the truth?
Yes, I need you to say it
If you really want this love to end
Look me in the eye, you can't pretend
That what we have is through
So I need you to say it
If you really want to let me go
Cause I don't believe you know I don't
Won't you tell me the truth
Yes, I need you to say it
If you really want this love to end
Look me in the eye, you can't pretend
That what we have is through

Feel The Fear
We were strong together
Now I realize
Oh please just
Give me one more day, I've got to have my say
I'm not afraid to feel the fear and do it anyway
No I'm never giving up, cos I haven't had enough
I'm all alone, feel the fear and do it anyway
Anyway
Gonna say hello to my soul today
Sitting on a mountain saying goodbye to the sun
Before you throw it all away
Like to say sorry for all the things I've done
Nothing lasts forever
Comes as no surprise
We were strong together
Now I realize
Oh please just
Give me one more day, I've got to have my say
I'm not afraid to feel the fear and do it anyway
No I'm never giving up, cos I haven't had enough

My Loss
Watching as you drive away
Speed away so fast
Knowing something's different now
That ending was our last
Nothing describes the emptiness filled inside
Take me to that place
Where everything's fine
And not a worry in mind
Sweeter to the taste
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
Simple is so complex now
So I understand
That I never thought that happy could be distraught
Help me if you can
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
Well I know I'm wrong
And you know I'm here
I don't want to let you disapear
What am I worth when your eyes were
Begging me in fear
I only want to see you again
And repair the wounds that brought me in
I don't want to think it won't happen again
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i'd do it again
To be with you feels like the right thing
This is my loss (my loss)
I did it wrong and i try to pretend
That nothing's changed for all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all that you bring
For all you bring

Gave Up
Give it to me i throw it away
Give it to me i throw it away
Covered in hope and vaseline
Still cannot fix this broken machine
Watching the hole it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
Of the trust i will betray
Give it to me i throw it away
After everything i've done i hate myself for what i've become
Give it to me i throw it away
Give it to me i throw it away
Throw it away

It took you to make me see the light
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize
It took you to make me realize?
It took you to make me see the light

Terrified of Me...
Do you know,
know how it feels?
No of course not,
how could I expect,
someone to understand it all,
understand the fear,
the pain
it's so much.
You've yet to discover,
that we all hold fear
within ourselves,
but you don't yet get it,
do you?
I'm not who I claim to be,
I'm not strong through the pain,
I'm not brave through the fear,
I'm just not!
I don't know,
where or when,
I'll finally realize it,
realize that I need help,
that I need someone,
to call my strength.
We all need someone like that...
Someone to be strong
when we are weak,
someone to be brave
when we want to run and hide.
I've never said this before,
but I know deep down inside it's true,
I'm scared to know,
who I really am.
I'm scared to know who
I'll be.
I don't want to know her,
that person that is staring
at me in the mirror.
She frightens me!
I know that she
knows what she's doing
I know that she,
will be the best that she can.
But I'm not like that.
I'm not wise,
or strong
or brave
or anything of that sort,
I'm just me....
a terrified being...
Terrified of me...

No Longer Afraid!
the day you
wake up and realize...
you no longer have
any reason to pretend,
that you have nothing
of value left to lose,
that you cant change the past...
that the people that love you,
love you in spite of yourself.
that the people you hate
are just reflections of you.
that life cant be possessed,
and is not about possessing.
that what you leave behind
is your heart... nothing more!
that death is not the enemy,
not the end, but comes to all...
then you become...
no longer afraid!

Regardless of My Needs
Babysitting emotions,
Of those of aging rusty butts...
Does not set well with my adult outlook.
Since I know what it takes,
To pave the path I make.
No one has held my hand,
To prevent mistakes I took like a man.
And I can not stomach those who fake,
Heartbreak because of situations they create.
Or try to diminish their disasters done to others...
As nothing more than an oversighted blemish.
And hear them make attempts,
To run from their misdeeds like wimps!
I'm not living my life to run and hide.
Nor will I take the time to listen to others' sigh!
The strides I've taken...
I took as I cried.
Perhaps that is why,
Babysitting emotions,
Of those of aging rusty butts...
I deny.
And will not satisfy those weaknesses,
I put aside.
When I realize I alone,
Must comfort the healing of my own sorrows!
No one else but me condones!
Yesterday, even now and tomorrow.
Afterall...
I am a man.
And a man is 'suppose' to withstand,
Any stinging pain!
Inflicted with sealed lips.
At least that's what I'm told,
As I conceal my agonies!
With an expectation...
That others can dump theirs upon me just the same!
Regardless of my needs!
Or if I bleed.
My wounds I must contain!
And pretend my feelings have not been changed!
It is all insane.
But if I expose the pain I hold...
I must endure the shame!
That's why I make no announcements to maintain,
Or claim...
My manhood!
As I interpret it to be.
And given to me to explore!
Babysitting emotions,
Of those of aging rusty butts...
I ignore.
Dedicated:
To those of us who are expected to 'understand'
without an ounce of 'that' expressed to us!
We must realize there is a 'blessing' involved.

Her
Baby, Ive been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mmmm
But I cant imagine what you must be thinkin
Cuz she could never be what I can be
Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And theres so much your eyes dont even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin at me
But how could you be with her?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I wont stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced
Now youre living all our dreams with another
And youre giving everything you promised me
Youre pretending were together when were nothing
But shes not me, she cant be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby
Her
You dont really love her, no, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?
Her
Cuz dont really love her, no
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought Id be without you, without you
You didnt have to run away to find me again
Cuz Ive always been here I am the real thing
So dont you pretend, oh
Her
You dont really love her
She
Cuz shes not me and i
I
I cant stand by and watch you pretend
Oh
Her
You dont really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and i
I
I cant stand by and let you pretend
We could start again
Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me

E: What You Are
I walk into this room, oh
All eyes on me now
But i do not know the ppl inside
Look straight through me these eyes
Seeking more wisdom than i have to give away
Realize, realize what you are
chorus:
What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike?
I don't hear you just as i am
Afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, lest they say,
Why don't you know?
If you live life, then you become what you are
The sea is unsparing
We are all drifting away, away from you, i pray for you now
Hoping to God on high is
Like clinging to straws while drowning,
oh realize, realize what you are
chorus:
What you've become just as i have
Are you and i so unalike
I don't hear you just as i am
afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, lest they say, why don't you know
when you live life, then you become what you are
what you are
is the beast in the lover's arms
what you are
is the devil in the sweet sweet kiss
what you are
is missing a piece
what you are
is a puzzle to me
chorus:
What you've become just as i have
are you and i so unalike?
i don't hear you just as i am
afraid if we dance we might die
Mock the world, until you die
don't you know when you give life, then you become what you are

Afraid To Live And Afraid Of Dying
(Porter Wagoner)
They say most anything you eat could hurt your health
Be careful what you drink, don't harm yourself
And pollution in the air might make you sick
Makes you afraid to live, afraid that you might die too quick
Do the men that quote this danger really know
Life is gift to be enjoyed and not to worry so
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go
We're afraid to live 'cause we're afraid of dyin'
And afraid to love the one we love, afraid they might be lyin'
We can't enjoy life when they say each thing might bring an early grave
We're afraid to live 'cause we're afraid of dyin'
Do the men that quote this danger really know?
Life is gift to be enjoyed, why worry so?
The biggest danger sign that we should know
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go
Make sure we're right with God, as through this world we go

The Truth Hurts
So the truth finally comes out
You finally see through all his games
And all his lies
You finally realize
That the only place he was every perfect
Was in your eyes
In that moment you realize
That every moment you shared meant nothing at all
And you've never felt like such an idiot
Or so incredibly small
And you realize
That you'd rather stay lying on the ground
Then get back up after taking that long, miserable fall
As your friends draw close to you
Even though you feel the pain start to set in
You fake a smile and say:
'I'm just glad I know the truth about him'
But when the lights go out
And your left alone
And down your cheeks slowly start to fall tears
The pain in your heart
Turns into a burning fire
That does nothing but sear
That's when you realize
That the hadest thing to do
Is accept what you know to be true
Because sometimes
Nothing hurts more
Than the truth

Only Human
Its only human to despise the weak
Its only human to despise yourself when youre weak
I dont know why
But thats the way that its always been
And I play by the rules I dont understand at all
Its only human to be lazy and vain
Its only human to expect a world thats just as vain
I dont know why
I want to believe that its not that way
But Im johnny come lately, its not my place to say
Theres no escape, tell me why do they try so hard?
And I pretend that Im invincible, that I can go it all alone
But Im only human, trying to get by
And praying to heaven I might find out why am I human
Mere flesh and blood
Afraid to go on without someone to hold me up
Its just a human thing to fear the unknown
But isnt it a tragic thing to live and die alone
Oh lord look at the world,
Have you ever seen so much misery?
Like a ghost ship of fools, lost and floating out to sea
And they climb and they fall
Yet they struggle on the same fault
But theyre only human, trying to get by
And praying to heaven they might find out
Why are we human
Mere flesh and blood
Were afraid to go on without someone to hold us up

Sick And Tired (song)
Afraid to love and afraid to trust
I stand here today with a harden crust
I’m fragile and I’m weak but I have to be
Strong and tough but I just can’t see
All the lies that they have told me
To my face and
To my face and
To my face and
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the lies
All the lies
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the pain
All the pain
I don’t wanna be scared
I don’t wanna pretend
Anymore
Scared to love
And scared to trust
Pretending to be strong
With a hard crust
But deep inside
I’m weak and torn
And I’m trying to hide
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the lies
All the lies
I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of all the pain
All the pain
I don’t wanna be scared
I don’t wanna pretend
Anymore
Unable to do what I wanna do
Unable to feel what I wanna feel
Unable to see what is meant to be
I can only wish that this wasn’t me
I can only wish that this wasn’t me
Cause I am
Afraid to love and afraid to trust
I stand here tonight with a harden crust
I’m fragile and weak but I have to be
Strong and tough but I just can’t see
All the lies that they told me
And I’m sick and tired
I’m sick and tired
Of lies and pain
I don’t wanna be scared and pretend
Anymore
I can only wish that this wasn’t me.

Aim in life
We believe ourselves not to be preoccupied
This fact is always hidden and denied
On number of occasion we continue to hide the face
The life is loosing its charm and no one is able to trace
Life without any aim may be considered as rudderless
We can’t let the life pass on and feel powerless
I believe in exactness, clarity and cleanness
This can form the basis of worship and that can lead us to oneness
Life is like main flagship and to be anchored safely at the shore
It has to find out the options and new ways to explore
We are different kind of animals and need some guidance
You may set it right when opportunity is afforded at once
There is secret fear in the mankind to solve their problems
They may be ridden with worries and feet may crumble
Still they may rise and tackle it with whatever is in hand
This is the main weapon in their hand and shows it in the form of trend
Life is part of fate and part of freedom
It may not confine us to boredom
It is not the wisdom to run away from the scene
There may clear case of loss or win
Why do we chain ourselves in set norms?
Who stops you to think wise and perform?
Do we need fresh thinking with new set of reforms?
We must get ready and always stay well informed
The desire, appetite, ambition and illusion may deceive
It may attract us all the time and in turn receive
The idea is formed in the mind and get ready to set
It is right time to perform and not to forget
Would you like to be chained in cage?
Can your feelings be inscribed in page?
It is to be translated in words and action
You need worry for any set back or reaction
We are living in cosmic present
It has all draw backs and peace is absent
We believe in strong future with no past
We still have no desire for doubts to cast
Do we live senseless and surge ahead?
Is there strong possibility to lead?
Do we have any option to ask apology and plead?
Can we visualize our future and clearly read?
I discover past to realize the future
I may make it strong and very sure
I still have all the ills to cure
I may still go for it and ensure

The Newly Found Love For Isolation
i am going
for the lighter side of life
i pretend
that i am recently born
with a mind of
my own
i promise myself
that i can stand alone
and behave like an
island of the
vast ocean
the irony happens
people come
they become interested about
the meaning
of isolation
they search for what
is virginal
they want
something original
and then they will say
they will miss me a lot
that they really love me
and it is late that they realize this
the come in hordes
bringing with them their boats
when they arrive however
i am no longer there

Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart) (feat. Toni Braxton)
Oh, no no baby
You're alone all the time
Does it ever puzzle you, did you ask why
You seem to fall in love, and out again
Do you ever really love or just pretend
Oh, baby why fool yourself
Don't be afraid to help yourself
It's never too late, too late to
Stop, look
Listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
Though you try, you can't hide
All the things you really feel, this time decide
That you will open up, and let it in
There's no shame in sharing love you feel within
So darling, just jump right in
Head over heels, and fall right in
'Cause it's never too late too late to
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Stop, look
And listen to your heart, hear what it's saying
Love, love, love
