Let The Curtains Fall
when she did not call me by
my personal name anymore,
i fully understand what she meant
she cuts off
the cord of friendship
gives the final signal
that she does not want to hear
anything from me
anymore
i thanked her for the early
knowing,
i know also how to do the same
cutting off and
moving on....
this world gives you
so many options
so many people and so many new friends
to take in
so? let the curtains fall
let us begin the next scene the next act.

I Don't Care Anymore
Well you can tell ev'ryone I'm a down disgrace
So drag my name all over the place.
I don't care anymore. (I don't care)
You can tell ev'rybody 'bout the state I'm in
You won't catch me crying 'cos I just can't win.
I don't care anymore I don't care anymore
I don't care what you say
I don't play the same games you play.
'Cos I've been talking to the people that you call your friends
And it seems to me there's a means to and end.
They don't care anymore. (they don't care)
And as for me I can sit here and bide my time
I got nothing to lose if I speak my mind.
I don't care anymore I don't care no more

I Ain't Got Time Anymore
Got no time to stop to speak to friends passing by
Got no strength to wipe away the tears from my eyes
I don't care what's going on
Only know she's gone
The sun don't shine anymore
And I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
Seems to be such sadness in each place I go
The people laugh and still I just wouldn't know
Never stop to see who's there
Once I used to care
But the sun don't shine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
I Ain't got time anymore
I can't get use to being left on my own
It takes up all the time just trying to be alone
Used to take an interest in the state of affairs
Now I only know how much I'm missing that girl
Hope the world will understand
I can't lend a hand
Cause she ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
I don't feel fine anymore
Ain't got time anymore
She ain't mine anymore
No, I don't feel fine anymore

He Is Caught In Time
(after Mandi Engelbrecht)
The faces around him is a confusing sea
of unknown people for whom he does not care
and he keeps away from pleasure and enjoyment;
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
No beautiful girl catches his eyes
and he is afraid for all of life,
people on the street are strange and silly;
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
One dark night his wife left him,
talked cheerfully about her new lover,
took everything along even the last flower vase,
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God;
she told the whole world that he whores around,
that he peeps at other women,
that he keeps no Godly command,
he does not anymore know his Bible or God;
at the holy church he lost his job
when more and more people heard the gossip story,
he scolds himself that he is very stupid,
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
His whole life is broken into pieces,
around him there is only confusing impressions,
it’s as if all his friends now are mocking him,
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
He locks himself in his inner room
opens for nobody that knocks on the outside,
he finds no other work opportunity,
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
During the night he is single, almost a monk
and he lives from dark moment to moment
is caught in time, feels dirty and rotten;
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
There is another world in his poems,
in memories wandering, searching faces
and dreams of some deliverance are somewhat silly;
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.
He plants African marigolds, roses and jasmine;
feels the earth in his hands and too much pain,
he is broken and almost bankrupt;
he does not anymore understand his Bible or God.

World Without Mercy
When your words have no meaning
And you're known as no one,
Am i someone to you,
Someone to turn to,
Even when others turn away?
Even though others turn away?
When history blurs,
And every man, women, and child,
Are left outside with no phones to be dialed,
You can't call me, i can't you.
You can't call me, i can't you.
In a world without mercy,
People dine outside your door.
In a world without mercy,
You don't have to lie anymore.
You don't have to cry anymore.
When laughter loses all its humor
And the joke is on you,
Don't take it so personal,
All this world reversal.
The things they said don't matter anyway.
The things they said don't matter anyway.
In a world without mercy,
People dine outside your door.
In a world without mercy,
You don't have to lie anymore.
You don't have to cry anymore.
Oh, can it be so painful?
Can it be so blind?
Love is vicious angel,
Fluttering wings, trapped inside your mind.
When your words have no meaning
And you're known as no one,
Am i someone to you,
Someone to turn to,
Even when others turn away?

Is Nothing Sacred
If a love as strong as ours
Couldnt make it all the way,
Can anything make sense at all?
If a love so deep and true
Couldnt stand the test of time,
Then mount everest could slide,
And jeruselem could fall.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
I can hear the final words
Every sentence that was said
Dont know what turned our lives around.
It doesnt matter who was right,
Theres no justice in a dream.
Never thought a heart could break
Without making any sound.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye
If we can say good-bye
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Our love was as certain as the dawn,
As solid and save as any love could be.
Our love was the star you wished upon,
And you thought that I saved you,
Couldve sworn that you saved me.
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is nothing sacred anymore?
Is forever just another word?
Is a promise something people used to keep
When love was worth fighting for?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye,
Is nothing sacred anymore?
If we can say good-bye,
If we can say good-bye...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...
Is nothing sacred anymore...

You're Not Really Here
If i fall asleep now
I'll not want to wake up again
I've had enough my friend
Enough of everything
Life's got on top of me
And it's dragging me down
There is noone around apart from you
And you're not really here
Really here anymore
What am i to do?
It's all getting too much
I just want to disappear for a while
I just can't understand why i feel like this
I need you
I need you here
But you're not really here
Really here anymore
It's getting harder to breathe
My heart is feeling weak
What's the problem that's caused me to fall?
I just need you here
But you're not really here
Really here anymore
Are you?

With Or Without You
I don't wanna live without you
God, it hurts to be alone
But livin' with you or without you
Cuts my poor heart to the bone
'Cause my heart gets broken everytime we fall
There's only so much left unshattered
This time I know my back's against the wall
But the truth's the only thing
That matters anymore
I'm scared in a crowd of people
And you're afraid to be alone
I have prayed you'd be beside me
I guess I'm meant to stand alone
Oh, cause our heart's get broken
Everytime we fall
They're beaten down and battered
You're so afraid you don't deserve it all
But you're not the only thing that matters anymore
How can I live without you in my heart
When I walk out this time
It'll tear me apart
My heart gets broken everytime we fall
There's only so long I can fake it
'Cause you let me go babe
We could have had it all
We had a chance
I thought we'd make it
'Cause I gave my heart
You had to break it
God give me the strength
I just can't take it anymore

Our Final Option
we're on the same trips
mostly leisure
we keep on saying
what options do we still have?
we hop from one island to another
we have become missing most of the times
we opt for our privacy
and friends are asking what is happening
one day we walk hand on hand on the park
and it is raining so hard
we keep on asking, what options do we still have?
to run? we have been running away
we do not know what to find really
and we do not ask anymore
the options are all here
inside the house and well fenced.

I Can't Take This Anymore
I am numb
Why are you away?
I've got no one to turn to
How long am i to live like this?
I can't take this anymore.
Those words i said
Were just words
And yes they were meant to hurt you
But i'd take them all away now if i could.
Walking on this cobbled street
Alone.
Desperately crying.
Hoping that it's you i meet
I can't take this anymore.
Will you please come back to me
I'm screaming
Can you hear me?
I didn't mean those rotten words i said
I can't take this anymore.
Are you doing this to hurt me?
Cos babe it's working
I now know what you mean to me
It's love.
And i can't take this anymore.

Iam not myself anymore,
Iam not myself anymore,
I dont know my destiny,
Fate is never easy to understand,
But all I know,
This is not myself anymore,
Maybe I got an understanding,
But speaking of knowledge,
Life is not an identity anymore,
All the shit that I being listening from younger days,
Earthly dwelling is full of nonsense,
People are not on the Right Path like the early prophets,
This is not me,
Since many are living unfair,
I cannot see tomorrow,
Even drugs ain't worth the value,
Life ain't nothing without prayers,
For all I see is crime and violence,
It is taking Humanity apart.

Until I Fall Away
I want to tell if I am or am not myself
Its hard to know
How far or if at all could go
Ive waited far too long
For something I forgot was wrong
I dont know all the answers
I think that Ill find
Or have it within the time
But its all that Ill have in mind
Until I fall away
I wont keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I dont know what to do anymore
Until I fall away
My fear pretend that Ill never be in love again
Its real to me but not like these fools
And not like this scene
I wont find or have it within the time
If its all rusted and fade
In the spot where we fell
Where I thought Id left behind
Its loose now but we could try
Until I fall away
I wont keep you waiting long
Until I fall away
I dont know what to do anymore
Until I fall away...
When theres no good answers
And no new questions
Another personal disaster
Theres nowhere to go but down...

I Dont Know What You Want But I Cant Give It Anymore
Did you get what you want
Do you know what it is
Do you care
Is he better than me
Was it your place or his
Who was there
Did you think it was wrong
Do you find that its worse than it was
Has it gone on too long
Do you mind that it hurts me because
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Youre breaking my heart
Was it cracking the code
Or just filling in time
Was that all
So then whyd you go back
To the scene of the crime
Did he call
Shall I take the blame
Or another assault on how it was
Then well get to the fact
That its always my fault just because
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Youre breaking my heart
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want but I cant give it anymore
Dont know what you want
Dont know what you want

Living Legend
Was it bitter then with our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than wed ever been before?
Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend, dont it matter anymore?
We were simple men by her side when she was born
It was simple then like the freedom when you fall
And we were smaller then, you see, but soon we gathered like a storm.
They dont understand what that thunder meant at all.
Was he crucified? was he done in by the lawman?
Are you satisfied that hell never ride again?
Some people say he got away; they say he never died at all.
If that storys true, does it bother you, my friend?
Was it bitter then, with our backs against the wall?
Were we better men than wed ever been before?
Say, if she came again today, would you still answer to the call?
Tell the truth, my friend, dont it matter anymore?

Closure
Before I close the door
I need a
Closure
From you
I been lying to myself
I been lying to you
What is wrong with me
To be honest with you
Reason I am feeling like this is because
What you done and how you didn't treat me with respect
You such control freak and making things way you want
When I say something, you don't even understand
You taken this the wrong way
I don't want this anymore or you
I just don't want to be around you anymore
You are sweet and then you are sour
You saying all this lies to me and
I can see right through you
I'm going leave this alone
It's better to say nothing and stop contact you
Moving on and cutting you out of my life is best
I finally understand and get it
I'm taking out all joy out of me
Thinking about this over and over
There is other good things along the way
I'm not good with goodbyes
I just couldn't tell you what is on my mind
I am going to tear
I just couldn't do it
It make it harder on me to face you and tell you

Not bad anymore
Not bad anymore,
not bad anymore is the world today,
I think and realise this world is very hard,
Living up and down,
Waking and failings,
For the world is bad,
But with knowledge it will improve,
It is a bad world with lack of metaphysics,
Not bad anymore is doing all that is right,
I think I perceive all given,
Then I realised that the world is not bad anymore with good done,
Our souls should be far beyond intelligence.

Wait Any More
Written by: myles goodwyn
Youre a restless girl
To drive a man insane
With the same old story
You play the same old games
You could always make it easy
But there was no way out
If you want, just say that youre sorry
But theres nothing you can do without
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
I just wont take it any more
Im not gonna wait anymore
I just wont take anymore take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
Another restless moment
Another runaround
Almost picture perfect
But no life can be found
Wont you make it easy
So we can play for keeps
Under pressure for the moment
Dont you know what everyone can see
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
Ill tell ya
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
I just wont wait anymore I swear this love is through
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
I just wont wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
So give a little and take a little for nothing
Show a little and make it something exciting
Ill tell ya
I just wont take anymore
I just wont take anymore
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore from you
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore from you
Im not gonna take anymore take anymore take anymore take anymore
Im not gonna wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore wait anymore

Curtain call
Curtain call
~
A show as long as a life
Written in the script of the unknown
The mysterious bard has foretold
The final curtain call
~
The closing act is well underway
The last scene about to begin
Soon the lights shall dim to blackness
And the curtains shall fall to close
The lead bystander is all but done
A role written to an end
~
This has been no great story
A simple forgetful tale if told true
The mild tragedy of a few events
Within the comedy of it all
The final performance, a swansong
Then all shall be done
~
Once it is over and the curtain falls
The audience shall rise to leave
With a clatter of chairs ringing out
A dull applause

Oh, medazzaland
Medazzaland
I had a problem they said they can solve
Soon I wont speak
I have no words left in me
I dream in pictures but the sound is muted
I have no way to understand what they say
Into medazzaland
People are starting to talk
But I dont hear them anymore
Now I cant see
But Im still able to think
Do I have any feeling left?
What are they saying about me?
Do they really understand whats wrong?
I feel their hands on my skin
The time has come for them to begin
Im sinking deeper and deeper
Into medazzaland
I can feel the scalpel on my skin
Its cutting in deeper and deeper
Im in medazzaland
Oh medazzaland

Alone
Sitting alone.......
in my dark creepy room..........
and that abhorrent feeling
is eating my soul.................
It really hurts
when you feel you are alone...............
still waiting..
for some one to come and knock your door...........
or even give you a call...............
still waiting..
for someone to help you through it all....
still waiting..
for someone who can prevent the fall of your soul...........
I cant understand
people anymore...........
and i have adesire
to crush them all...............
I want to fly to another palce
that is safe.....and warm......
where i can find a friend to tell me:
never frown...............
cause you are not a lone.........anymore...
