Getting Rid Of Biases
the unexpected sometimes
happen
fragile glasses did not break
under extreme
pressure
those that we think
are solid enough finally
liquefied
the hottest air did not
make the balloon
fly away
sometimes we are wrong
whom we hate most
finally are those
who really love us
best
those with whom we trust
our love,
life, even the future that is the
only one left
since then
have betrayed us
some paths that we tread upon
where we draw
some dreams of heaven
the least we expected
brought us
perdition
so what is the point?
see what is there
do not adulterate it with what
you think of the
past
empty yourself
and fill in
what is raw and true

Good For Her
Good for her
She left finally that man that abused the hell out of her
She was used and abused by him
She was his slave
He took advantage of her
And only now she had the courage
And she finally said
To him
I have enough of you
She now left him for good
She finally divorced him
She had the courage to leave for good
They were not made for each other
Love has ended
She haven’t lost her pride
She has finally gained back her confidence
Now she can be proud of herself
She can finally go on with her life
I don’t want another man
I will not make that mistake again
I have no love or feelings for him anymore
I have plenty of feelings for myself
I love myself
I have built my trust again
I can walk with my head up high
I was sitting on a high horse
And of course it hurts badly when you fall
But it was a good lesson to learn

Betrayed
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you
Above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty
And I lie down betrayed
Justice taught her confidence
Her mother was like steel
Her cousins, theyre all convicts
She alone rose above that wheel
But a motorcyclist no matter how good
Is slave to the oncoming truck
And the poison of her father was
Her most pitiless luck
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says she needs you
Above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty
And I lie down betrayed
Three of us lie in this bed
Night of infamy
One of us lies on our back
Her fathers in her head
And quick she turns and slaps my face
And with her eyes open wide she screams
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
But shes looking right past me
Betrayed by the one who says she loves you
By the one who says that she needs you
Above all other men
Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty
Her father did his duty
And I lie down betrayed
And I lie down betrayed
I lie down betrayed

This Must Be Heaven
Jon lind, jeffrey cohen & nicky brown
When I was much younger
It used to happen every night
I had a dream about a city dressed in lights
And there were friends of mine
I saw them time after time
But I never knew their names
And darling I swear
I saw you there
I know it sounds insane
Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when youre near
(chorus)
This must be heaven
Have I found it what Ive been looking for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door
How could I have doubted
I guess I must have lost my place
You turned on the light
And I saw my life
Reflected in your face
Sweet dreams of a child forgotten so easy oh yeah
I needed your smile to bring it all back to me
I see all of my life as the road that brought me here
Must be something went right
I just know when youre near
(repeat chorus)
And I always knew that there was something more
Come closer to me now
You fill me up Im overflowing
Come closer to me now
Come hold me tight and dont let go
(repeat chorus)
You fill me up girl
You fill me up and Im overflowing
This must be heaven
Have I found what Ive been living for
This must be heaven
Have I finally stumbled through the door
This must be heaven
Have I found what Ive been looking for
This must be heaven
And I always knew that there were something more

Nobody Home
Don't run too fast
Like a shot from a gun
Don't jump too high
And knock out the sun
Don't stray too far
Out on your own
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There'll be nobody home
Nobody home
Don't pull too hard
Like a kite in the wind
You'll break the string
When I reel you in
Don't take off flying
All on your own
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There'll be nobody home
Nobody home
You say you're feeling locked inside
Stuck inside to stay
You wanna fly away
There's nothing I can do
To help you make your play
Make your getaway
Don't dream too wild
And shoot for the moon
Don't ride your heart
Like a balloon
Don't blow away
To places unknown
Cause when you finally coming knocking
When you finally come knocking
There'll be nobody home
Nobody home
Don't run too fast
Like a shot from a gun
Don't jump too high
And knock out the sun
Don't stray too far
Out on your own
Cause when you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
there'll be nobody home
Nobody home
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There'll be nobody home
Nobody home
When you finally come knocking
When you finally come knocking
There'll be nobody home
Nobody home

You Really Used Me
You declared you loved me
Your behaviour affirmed love for me
I invested my trust in you
For I believed you deserve it
After coming this far
Having crossed many rivers
Braved several rugged mountains
And my dreams seemed to come true
You vanished from my life
Without any ceremony
What did I do wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Can true love submit such suddenly?
This doesn't make sense
We looked a perfect pair
We stayed like an ideal couple
You pledged a future with me
I placed you central to my future
Everything seem perfectly on course
When my dreams looked within reach
You vanished from my life
Without any ceremony
You really used me
You never loved me
You were just pretending
I was a ladder to your heaven
A handy train to your haven
You really used me

Finally
It was you and always you,
The thoughts I had were new,
The thoughts you had just a few,
My whisper so louder than your scream,
Despite all the efforts I tried to put,
All the methods I tried to use,
I thought It was me in love,
Yet you looked at me and laugh,
A purposeful mirage
The hate you feel for me,
The pain I give to you,
The space you always wish for,
And the freedom ive always taken,
With the liberty I have stolen,
A sweet escape is dawning for you
The guilty of a selfish man,
Slicing every thought I have for you,
The position you put me in,
Treating me like a dangerous creature,
When im loving you with adventure,
Your hopes and all your wishes,
The paths are opened for you
And finally my tears are starting to fall,
And finally my passion is starting to fade,
Until when shall I force you to love,
Until when shall I beg your love,
Until when shall I try and try
And finally my hope is starting to go,
And finally my efforts are starting to cease,
And finally my tears are starting to dry,
Untill when shall I make you cry,
Until when shall I confuse you,
Until when shall I always be a problem,
Finally, space and peace are yours

I Hate You Then I Love You
Id like to run away from you
But if I were to leave you I would die
Id like to break the chains you put
Around me
And yet Ill never try
No matter what you do you drive me
Crazy
Id rather be alone
But then I know my life would be so
Empty
As soon as you were gone
Impossible to live with you
But I could never live without you
For whatever you do / for whatever you
Do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You make me sad
You make me strong
You make me mad
You make me long for you / you make
Me long for you
You make me live
You make me die
You make me laugh
You make me cry for you / you make me
Cry for you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more
For whatever you do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
You treat me wrong
You treat me right
You let me be
You make me fight with you / I could
Never live without you
You make me high
You bring me down
You set me free
You hold me bound to you
I hate you
Then I love you
Then I love you
Then I hate you
Then I love you more / I love you more
For whatever you do / for whatever you
Do
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
I never, never, never
Want to be in love with anyone but you
But you

Hate To Love
Midnight sky shining on my face
I feel the waves embracing me
I'm here to find
Some peace of mind
Time and time
Waits for me
It waits for me, yeah
So here I am again
Somewhere in between
Hate to love
Trying to find reality
In a dream
Hate to love
I'm afraid to say I need someone like you
Hate to love
I hate to love
Faded photographs
Of a picture-perfect love
Locked inside this frame of mind
Forgiving true is a trust betrayed
If time heals all it left me behind
It left me behind
So here I am again
Somewhere in between
Hate to love
Trying to find reality
In a dream
Hate to love
I'm afraid to say I need someone like you
Hate to love
I hate to love
Loneliness and innocence
As you invade my heart
I love to hate the truth of love
It's tearing me apart
So here I am again
Somewhere in between
Hate to love
Trying to find reality
In a dream
Hate to love
I'm afraid to say I need someone like you
Hate to love
I hate to love

My Final Plea
I'm sorry I have hurt you
I didn't mean it
Im sorry if i have been a bitch
It happens to the best of us
This is my finally plea
If you want my heart, its yours, take it
This is my finally plea
If you love me
Then show it
I'm sorry for the things that I've done that has pissed you off
But aren't we all human
I'm sorry for the things that I will do to hurt you
I fucked things up in the past so I apologize for the future
This is my finally plea
I’m flawed, as you already know
So you can take your chances
I'm sorry for what you had to go through
I only wish I could have been there
I'm sorry for what will happen to you
But at least you have me now

Leave The Past And Moving On With The Future
What does it means to
Leave the past, and moving on with future?
It means you have to just let it go
Even it going hurt and feel so much in pain
You have other things looking forward too
If you love something so much
It will come back to you
It does it meant to be and if don't then just move on
I have finally learn my mistakes after yesterday
It's was perfect day off
I want to be who I am
I changes so much just to fit in
That's not like me
Time to figure out what I really want
What does it means to
Leave the past and moving on with future?
It means that this is now and your chances to do what you been waiting for
Time is running out
No going back and forth in path
No going back and forth in past to future
I'm stop acting like I'm scared
I'm not and now this is my time
I'm not regreat anything anymore
I don't want be like this
I need to think before I say something or do it
Past is not something I need think about
I need to think about future that I'm waiting for to happen
This is me and I finally understand what I didn't before
It's all right in front of me
I need to grab it and hold onto it
Future is waiting for me
I'm moving forward
Leave the past and moving on with future

Love Everlasting
Then came a lover so bold
She was heaven sent, an angel foretold
Five foot, five foot two, eyes of blue
a voice so beautiful, say it is true
She stole my heart not from sex or pure lust
but rather her wit, intelligence, charm for sure a wife must
Our past, future and dreams bound for eternity
A relationship based on faithfulness, trust, and honesty
A relationship for life foretold
a marriage of sacred vows and of lifes riches behold
an everlasting love of two hearts entwined on one path
me and my lover for life finally together at last!

If I were to relive…
Given a lease to relive my life,
I would not tread the paths I trod,
Not trust men trusted, not love women loved,
And would not believe in what I believed.
Given a lease to relive my life,
I would pursue the paths I missed,
Would trust whom I misjudged,
And would believe what I disbelieved.
In a nut shell, I shall grow a new one
To detest the paths that I have to tread

Picking My Poison
More and more it feels like the stresses of life are clouding me, like a thick wall of fog through which I can barely see
It feels like all this stress is strangling me, help somebody please! It feels as though I can barely breathe!
But wait while yet all this stress continues to strangle me, there is also this pounding pressure I can feel inside of me
The pressure of taking care of you, the pressure of to myself staying true, the pressure to be who you want me to be, the pressure of never making a mistake for fear that you'll never again be able to look at me
The pressure of trying to succeed, the pressure of always trying to make you proud of me, the pressure of trying to make everybody happy, little do they know that sooner or later all this pressure will finally destroy me
But even if this pounding pressure I feel inside doesn't do me in first, there's still this strangling stress that continues to choke me, and honestly I don't know which poison is worst.

Move On
I finally can write,
I finally can draw,
I'm so glad that,
I'm finally through with it all.
I can be free,
I can be me.
I can be myself,
And nobody else.
No matter what I thought,
I was mistaken,
Because of some rare occasion,
That occurred I was taken.
Of all the things I'd like to do,
I'm so glad I'm through with you,
But I still want you as a friend,
And that friendship,
Not to break or bend.
And I will go on,
And seek it through,
So don't wait for me,
Like I won't you.
It's over,
And I'm glad,
But it seems,
You're still sad.
But now I feel,
Like I can do,
Anything real,
So good luck to you.
Find another girl,
To change your open world,
Although right now I'm free,
I only want to be me.
The first love can never last,
Because you have to learn from your past,
And move on,
Just move on.

I love when we laugh together
I love when I hug you
I love that our friends know,
I love you
I love that I only want you
I love that fate brought us together
I love the way you talk to me
I love that you are here in my life
I love how you choose me than them

I love that you make me feel special
I love that you’re mine

I hate that you left me
I have that I fell for you
I hate that your smile haunts
I hate that you died
I hate that I can't be angry
I hate that I'm upset
I hate that you wanted this
I hate that I wasn't enough
I hate that I couldn't make you happy
I hate that your gone
I hate that I don't hate you
I hate that your laugh is gone
I hate your gentle kisses
I hate your friends for not crying
I hate that I can't stop crying
I hate that life goes on
I hate that your not actually dead
I hate your choices
I hate the drugs that you love
I hate I feel that your dead
I hate you're no longer mine
I hate the people you now call friends
I hate the men you sleep with
I hate your dad for what he's done
I hate seeing you so unhappy
I hate so many things but the one
I hate the most
I hate that I love you
I hate I would die for you
I hate I'll never get over you
I hate this new you
I hate myself for not hating you

I Hate Myself
I hate that you fooled me
With your infectios smile
I hate that you told me you loved me
When you were lying all the while
I hate that you were so jealous
When he was just a friend
I hate that you turned this
Into something we cannot mend
I hate that we screwed this up
Past the point of no return
I hate that you never believed me
Trust is something you should learn
I hate that you ignore me now
As if we never were
I hate that you betrayed me
For my pain there is no cure
I hate that you broke my heart
You don't know what I've been through
But most of all
I hate myself for letting you

Now That I Know Love
How do I know if Im in love?
Who could I ever learn to trust?
I asked myself these questions for so long
What do I only wish to see?
What do I truly know to be?
I told myself to hold on tight
You never know enough
But now I see what I believe
cause Im believin love
Chorus:
Whether my minds sayin its crazy
Whether my worlds sayin Im wrong
Wherever my heart goes, thats where I belong
I finally found out what faith is
I follow the way that it feels
And heaven has never been more real
When you looked into me
And you laid your hands on me
At once the deaf could hear
The blind could see
Now that I know love
I was a child alone, asleep
You came along and cradled me
You took me in your arms
And rocked me so sweetly
Id prayed for love
To come to pass
How do we know if love will last?
And if it cant then someone tell me
What were livin for
I dont know what tomorrow holds
But I know what I know
Chorus
Glory be, I believe
Oh I finally see that love isnt blind
cause Ive never seen more clearly in my life
Now that I know love

Cupid is not stupid for M lady Helen unknown
Cupid is not stupid
Love can strike unexpectedly.
When you think you are past romance,
then you find quite suddenly.
Fate’s giving you another chance.
It is not something that you sought,
you have been betrayed in the past
You are not past it as you thought
all of your doubts are overcast.
You are quite sure this time its right,
although you got it wrong before
You future now looks rather bright.
You won’t be lonely any more.
You know now that dreams do come true.
He has just told you he loves you.
