Reconstruction Game
you know
that when i write
i am not
inside
myself, i am somewhere else
and you try to catch me
with a phrase
that reminds me of someone
that you know
i love, but i have outlived
your wits
and i have learned to live
somewhere else where
you do not know
how to find me,
and i keep talking
and you pretend to listen
but there is no
meeting here
just the passing by and
letting go
and yet keeping in touch
just in case
things break down and
we need each other
again
to reconstruct
and
be whole again
like
a machine with
its bolts and screws.

Talkin Talkin
Talking, talking
It doesnt really matter
If you know my name
It doesnt really matter
If you see things the same
As I do
It doesnt even matter
If Im tied and tense
It doesnt even matter
If Im still making sense
Over you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
Talking, talking
It doesnt matter
What the people
All around you say
Be careful how
You listen
They dont know you
The way that I do
And if you wanna
Talk about it baby
Thats alright
Its better if I say it
Than to sit down
And write it to you
Im just talking, talking
Talkin, talking
Cos Im only talking, talking
It can be that
Youre here with me
When Im standing out
On my own
The words of love
That you gage
When we were alone
It doesnt matter
If you want to
Rock and roll all night
I know youre gonna
Be there when the
Feeling is right
The feeling is right
The feeling is right
Im just talking, talking

You know Im just

Why Do I Write
I write from my sadness
I write from the madness
I write because I have something to say
I write to pass the day
I write only from the heart
I write for sometimes I am not that smart
Whatever is in head just comes out on paper (in this case a word document) , and I go with the flow
Write to let my mind go
I follow my hand to where ever it takes me
I write all the things that I can see
I write when I am happy, but not as much
I write from my heart that you can touch
I write because I’d go insane
I am driven to write quell my pain
At times I feel alone so I write what I am feeling
I write for it is self-healing
Confident not so I write it all away
I write and write to pass the day
I write to comfort my soul that cries out in the night
I write for love is always out of sight
I write so I don't have to cry any more
I write for I have no one to adore
I write so someone somewhere will hear my plea
I write for someone is out there for me
I am lost and I the clown
I write to turn my frown upside down
I write to embrace the sadness I hide inside
I write with my heart opened wide
I write to silence the ghost
I write for I’ve been let down by the one I loved the most
I write through the stormy weather
I write for I am light as a feather
I am not a writer nor am I a poet
I write for the grief I do know it
I will write until I draw my last breath
I write because I'll die a lonely death
I have to write for strangers delight
I write because I have to write
I write for my own happiness
I write to relieve my stress
I write because I have no other choice
I write as if I was writing a letter
I write because I can’t do any better
I write because I am afraid not to
I write for this is what I do
I write for I give a damn
I write just because I am

Your Tender Touch
Your tender touch on my brow
eases all my anguish and pain.
Your tender touch on my cheek
stops the tears that want to fall like rain.
Your tender touch upon my hand
reminds me of our gold wedding band.
We fell in love so long ago
to take one another through sickness and pain.
Now your tender touch reminds me
of our vows all over again.
Our love remains a constant joy
within our passing years.
Still your tender touch can heal
all my wanton fears.

Best Of Me
Sometimes words are hard to find
I'm looking for that perfect line
To let you know you're always on my mind
Ya this is love - n' I've learned enough to know
I'm never lettin' go
No, no, no - won't let go
When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me
I may not always know what's right
But I know I want you here tonight
Gonna make this moment last for all your life
oh ya this is love - n' it really means so much
I can tell from every touch
No, no, no - can't get enough
When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me
[Solo]
Ya this is love
And I've learned enough to know
I'm never letting go
No, no, no - won't let go
When you want it - when you need it
You'll always have the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always have the best of me - yeah!
When you want it - when you need it
You'll always get the best of me
I can't help it - believe it
You'll always get the best of me
You've got the best of me

The Machine
It's so quiet and dark
And i shouldn't be here
This machine won't last
For always
Just my steel friend and me
I stand brave by his side
This machine is all
I live for
I can see in your eyes
You're not so sure about me
This machine is my voice
Please listen
It's so noisy and bright
And i just love being here
This machine will last

The Darkest Space
Well I'm not just a song anymore
I just might be the whole damn score
I might be realing in your head while
you're sleeping in your bed at night
well I'm not just along anymore
I finally found what I've been lookin for
I might be sitting in the passenger's
side but not along for the ride
Cause I have control of a home grown situation
I lay back and then I turn the alarm off and turn out the light
There's goin to be some quality sleeping
cuz quality's keeping the quality up at night
I am fixed to lay with my arms out and learning to fly
Through the darkest space
Where I try to catch up to the catch phrase
To human race I say let the games begin
Under way say in conditions that we play in
Maybe things are better this way
may the games begin today awww
oh well...Cause I'm just above
the aggrevation of love
and I raise to opimistical fortune and toasting it twice
I'm sitting high on an anytime any day night
And I laugh to think I'm crying my eyes out well isn't it nice
(Chorus)
An open space when I finally catch up to the catch phrase
The whole damn world is your toy
Don't you want some love
Don't you want things to always stay the same
Don't you want your love to be the same as the last day

Must Get Out
Ive been the needle and the thread
Weaving figure eights and circles round your head
I try to laugh but cry instead
Patiently wait to hear the words youve never said
Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry
Im lifting you up
Im letting you down
Im dancing til dawn
Im fooling around
Im not giving up
Im making your love
This citys made us crazy and we must get out
This not goodbye she said
It is just time for me to rest my head
She does not walk she runs instead
Down these jagged streets and into my bed
Fumbling through your dresser door forgot what I was looking for
Try to guide me in the right direction
Making use of all this time
Keeping everything inside
Close my eyes and listen to you cry
Im lifting you up
Im letting you down
Im dancing til dawn
Im fooling around
Im not giving up
Im making your love
This citys made us crazy and we must get out
Theres only so much I can do for you
After all of the things you put me through

Everything is catching up with me.
I await to find I'm not at all where I should be.
And it feels I'm getting to the end.
And it's hard to figure out what's real and what's pretend.
To break from what we're tied too.
God knows how much I've tried too.
And I am still inside you.
And I am still inside you.
I escape every now and then.
And to think I find myself back here again.
And again.
I used to know who I was until you came along.
I return to the only place I've ever felt I belong.
To break from what we're tied too.
God knows how much I've tried too.
And I am still inside you.
And I am still inside you.

Talking Book
I wish I had a talking book
That told me how to act and look
A talking book that contained keys
To past and present memories
A talking book that said your name
So if you were gone, youd still remain
More than a picture on a shelf
In imagination I could touch
A talking, talking book
I wish I had a talking book
Filled with buttons you could push
Containing looks and sights, your touch
Your feel, your breath, your sounds, your sighs
How much Id bluster to ask it why
One must live and one must die
I wish I had a talking book
By my side so I could look
And touch and feel and dream, a look
Much bigger than a talking book
A taste of loving future and past
Is that so much to really ask
In this one moments time and space
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love really be replaced
By a talking book
Can our love ever, forever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced
Can our love ever be replaced
(can our love really be replaced)
By a talking book

Some People Fly
Used to be a time
We held the world.
Wrapped round our finger tips
Laughing at what others missed. someday, yesterday
The magic we felt went away.
Grow up somebody said... tell me where its gone
So I can go find it now. I cant live your way.
Go ahead without me.
Ill find my own way
Some people fly... and some of us worry about touching
The sun with wings. I know if I try Ill get where Im going,
Keeping my eyes on the sky.
The box you live within is strong and its up to you
To see beyond the comfort zone youve grown to love.
Theres more to life than that. the expectations
That you hold will keep you down and make you old
If you cant see what Im trying to say, maybe you just
Need to wear my shoes for awhile. I cant live your way.
Go ahead without me.
Ill find my own way
Some people fly...and some of us worry
Id risk it all to have wings.
I know if I try Ill get where Im going,
Keeping my eyes on the sky.
While you sit there and think about it, theres another
Unfolding their wings. I can tell you what its like, but,
Until you try, youll never see what I mean.
Some people fly...and some of us worry
Ill touch the sky with my wings.
I know if I try Ill get where Im going,
Keeping my eyes on the sky.
Keeping my eyes, keeping my eyes on the sky.

Birthday Song
If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
And though the words come hard to me, I'll say them just for you
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new
You see I love the way you love me
Love the way you smile at me,
I love the way we live this life we're in
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you
You see I love the way you love me
Love the way you smile at me,
I love the way we live this life we're in
I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
And when you say you believe in me
There's so much magic I can do
Now you see me now you don't watch me dive below
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go
And I might sink and I might drown but death don't mean a thing
'Cause life continues right or wrong when I play this birthday song
I learned from you, and you can't even sing

Don't Forget To Catch Me
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
And dont forget to patch my heart, if it should break in two
Its just a dream, but a dream that might come true
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
Dont forget to be around in case I need you near
And dont forget to listen when I whisper in your ear
I think you know, thats the way its gonna be
When I fall in love with you and you with me
Now we could be happy, you know I mean happy
Doing the things you do
Id sit and talk with you
And maybe steal a little kiss or two from you
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
And dont forget to patch my heart, if it should break in two
Its just a dream, but a dream that might come true
Dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
I said, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
Ooh, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you
I said, dont forget to catch me when I fall in love with you

Anything For You
Anything for you
Though you're not here
Since you said we're through
It seems like years
Time keeps dragging on and on
And forever's been and gone
Still I can't figure what went wrong
I'd still do anything for you
I'll play your game
You hurt me through and through
But you can have your way
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though you'll never see me cryin'
You know inside I feel like dying
And I'd do anything for you
In spite of it all
I've learned so much from you
You made me strong
But don't you ever think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye
I hope you find someone to please you
Someone who'll care and never leave you
But if that someone ever hearts you
You just might need a friend to turn to
And I'd do anything for you
I'll give you up
If that's what I should do
To make you happy
I can pretend each time I see you
That I don't care and I don't need you
And though inside I feel like dying
You know you'll never see me cryin'
Don't you ever think that I don't love you
That for one minute I forgot you
But sometimes things don't work out right
And you just have to say goodbye

If I Had Wings
Open inside something about this pain
Theres something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that youre not there
And if I could care theres something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that youd bring
If I had wings
Im still standing
Blue mountain high
Only the fables get to fly
Without these words theres no reason why
It reminds me of all that you bring
If I had wings
Would like to teach myself
If I had wings
Would learn to stir myself
If I had wings
Strapped inside wont be denied
Nightmare brings
All that you said
And if I could fly
Long time saviour
Thats the sinners crime
Well without such trust
I know that I can never find
Never find - never find - never find
If I had wings
If I had wings
Im still standing
Never find - never find - never find
Open inside something about this pain
Theres something about this sweet refrain
Reminds me that youre not there
And if I could care theres something about this curse
Like a needle inside a silken purse
Reminds me of all that youd bring
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings
If I had wings

The cycle of the machine is now coming to an end. Man has learned much in the hard discipline and the shrewd, unflinching grasp of practical possibilities that the machine has provided in the last three centuries: but we can no more continue to live in the world of the machine than we could live successfully on the barren surface of the
moon.

I'll Be Back
You know if you break my heart i'll go, but i'll be back
Again, 'cause i told you once before goodbye, but i came back again.
I love you so oh i'm the one who wants you, yes, i'm the one
Who wants you, oh ho, oh ho, oh
You could find better things to do, than to break my
Heart again, this time i will try to show that i'm not trying to pretend.
I thought that you would realize that if i ran away from you that you would want
Me too, but i've got a big surprise, oh ho, oh ho, oh
You could find better things to do, than to break my
Heart again, this time i will try to show that i'm not trying to pretend.
I wanna go but i hate to leave you, you know i hate to leave you , oh ho,
Oh ho, oh
You, if you break my heart i'll go, but i'll be back again.

Overcome
I was raised to believe what I see
So I pray to God
Give me strength
Help me breathe
When they suck
Life from me
Somethings wrong Anything
CHORUS-
Wrong with me
I dont see
Anything Wrong with me
So I write and I pray
And I live day to day
And I wait
For the sun
And I love everyone
Still they find
Something wrong

You cant hide what inside whats inside,
You cant hide what inside whats inside,

You cant hide what inside when you die
You cant hide whats inside when you die you will die

You cant hide whats inside when you die,
You cant hide whats inside when you die,
You cant hide whats inside when you die
You will die, You will die, You will die
