Thanks To Me
there is such thing as
being lost as others see you
because you are not doing
what they expect you to do
i need not mention all those
passages or rituals like...
but i am more into this
self-discovery thing such
as doing what i really want to
do but those that do not destroy me
those that do not make me fall into
fear but into the comforts of my own
space, my own paradise, and
i guess i have found it,
something like just being myself
without the interference of other's
moral codes or
majority's etiquette
thus i wake up at night and sleep
the following morning
i write more than have to speak
and just stay inside rather than
have fun with what we deem as
friends or kin
this way i am like a seed growing
in my own soil
moving at my own pace
and slowly unfolding as myself
and no other....

A Confession Of Guilt
i am not throwing all the pages
but just the same i am not reading them
and you say they are all important for my
meaningful existence
i make a compromise
alright they stay pile upon pile inside my
study room where
i do things that i should not have done
where i prioritize those that
do not feed me
a junk of this bread and butter thing
grabbing air and space and
gobbling nothingness like
food and stuff like that
i wonder what is happening to me now
shying away from those that i ought to love
and cultivate
my mind wonders like a meteor in space
like a tennis ball that you hit and
goes away as a point in darkness
gone
i sleep the whole day and write the whole night
i wake up when everyone is asleep
i entertain thoughts that destroy me
i write those that do not make me alive
sometimes i make a conclusion that i am getting to be
a machine without any perceived use
a hen cackling yet without eggs
a house abandoned
a polluted lake
a broken toy a torn rag doll a train whose tracks are stolen
i feel so deprived and i work hard to fill myself
this void that expands like a balloon
that lifts me up to an atmosphere near the sun
expecting an outburst where i will surely fall
like a torn condom this rubber thing that does not bounce at all
perhaps i need a break perhaps i need to be broken
to be shaken so i may wake up and feel the brokenness of a champagne
cork lid.
i've been broken you know and i have mended myself
repaired every part but i guess this is just a cycle that i have to pass through
this circuitous route
this spherical world
this ring without an end
like love, perhaps, like love perhaps that i once missed
it is messy, i know but i keep on talking and writing you should know better
well, i guess, this is therapy on the going
it is free, as i am
free.

You Are
You are the first thing
I see in the morning
and the last thing
I see each night.
You are that little ray of sunshine
that greets me when I wake
and the sandman who sprinkles stardust
in my eyes before I sleep at night.
You are that earth angel
that holds and comforts me
whenever this bad old world
gets on top of me.
You are that guiding star
that makes me carry on,
for you the first thing
I see in the morning
and the last thing
I see at night,
because you are my ever-loving partner
though all my trouble and strife.

Growing Up
Folded in your fleshy purse
I am floating once again
While the muted sounds are pumping rhythm
All the walls close in on me
Pressures building wave on wave
til the water breaks and outside I go, oh
One dot, thats on or off, defines what is and what is not, one dot
Two dot, a pair of eyes, a voice, a touch, complete surprise, two dot
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Three dot, a trinity, a way to map the universe,
Three dot
Four dot, is what will make a square, a bed to build on, its all there,
Four dot
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
All the slow clouds pass us by
Make the empire state look high
As you take me in your sea-stained sweetness
It spills, it tingles and it stings
All the pleasure that it brings
til the door has let the outside inside here
Well on the floor theres a long wooden table
On the table theres an open book
On the page theres a detailed drawing
And on the drawing is the name I took
My ghost likes to travel so far in the unknown
My ghost likes to travel so deep into your space
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
Growing up, growing up,
Looking for a place to live
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside
My ghost likes to travel
Moving inside of your space
The breathing stops, I dont know when
In transition once again
Such a struggle getting through these changes

Looking For The One
I was feelin much in need
Of the arms of a lover
When my radar picked her up
On the arm of another
Ive been lookin for the one
And Ill tell you brother
I had the feeling we were gonna be more than friends
We were each other
Still looking for the one
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still looking for the one
On like the light,
Darlin dont let me sleep alone tonight
Still looking for the one
And wake in the morning all alone and
Looking for the one
Looking for the one
Too many nights with the wrong one
And my heart ran for cover
Im a lonely, lonely soul
In search of another
I been a wondering baby
Since I left my mother
I got a feelin your gonna be here in time
I know you will
Still looking for the one
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still looking for the one
On like the light
Darlin dont let me sleep alone tonight
(still looking for the one)
And wake in the morning all alone
Looking for the one
Looking for the one
Still looking for the one
With the fire in her eyes
Living inside a paradise
Still looking for the one
On like the light
Darlin dont let me sleep alone tonight
(still looking for the one)
And wake in the morning all alone
Looking for the one
Looking for the one
Looking for the one

If It Ain't One Thing
(alan jackson/jim mcbride)
I guess it's just not my day
The wind blew my morning paper away
Then i cut my toe oin a sliver of glass
From the stormdoor you broke when you left here so fast
If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that i'm goin crazy
It's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever i do
If it ain't one thing
It's you
I rented that movie you hate
But that old vcr just chewed up the tape
Then i went to the freezer thought i'd cook me a steak
All i found was that old piece of our wedding cake
If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that i'm goin crazy
It's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever i do
If it ain't one thing
It's you
But i never knew that i needed you so
But now that i've lost you, i can't let you go
If it ain't one thing it's you
If you've heard that i'm goin crazy
It's true
The wheels seem to fall off whatever i do
If it ain't one thing
It's you
Oh if it ain't one thing
It's you

Telling Stories
There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories
Write it down but it doesnt mean
Youre not just telling stories
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
There is fiction in the space between
You and reality
You will do and say anything
To make your everyday life
Seem less mundane
There is fiction in the space between
You and me
Theres a science fiction in the space between
You and me
A fabrication of a grand scheme
Where I am the scary monster
I eat the city and as I leave the scene
In my spaceship I am laughing
In your remembrance of your bad dream
Theres no one but you standing
Leave the pity and the blame
For the ones who do not speak
You write the words to get respect and compassion
And for posterity
You write the words and make believe
There is truth in the space between
There is fiction in the space between
You and everybody
Give us all what we need
Give us one more sad sordid story
But in the fiction of the space between
Sometimes a lie is the best thing
Sometimes a lie is the best thing

Even Angels Fall
You found hope
You found faith
Found how fast she could take it away
Found true love
Lost your heart
Now you don't know who you are
She made it easy
Made it free
Made it hurt till you couldn't see
Sometimes it hurts
Sometimes it flows
But baby that's how love goes
Chorus:
You will fly and
You will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you
Must stay on
God knows even angels fall
Its a secret no one tells
One day its heaven
One day its hell
It's no fairytale
Take it from me
That's the way its supposed to be
Chorus:
You will fly and
You will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you
Must stay on
God knows even angels fall
You laugh
You cry
No one knows why
But all the thrill I layed on
Your on the ride you might as well
Open your eyes

You will fly and
You will crawl
God knows even angels fall
No such thing as you
Must stay on

My Perfect Day
Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
I cant take it, I wont make it
I cant take it, I wont make it
Chorus:
But sometimes I feel it
Do you know how it is?
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
Im still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day
Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate, Im burning
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak
I cant take it, I wont make it
Chorus
I cant believe this anymore
I just dont see this anymore
Im stepping out into the rain again
See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder
I cant take it, I wont make it
So what about me, what I want to be
What about me, hear me when I speak

For although I may be dead
All is not lost.

Consider me to be sleeping
For I sleep, but for a while.

Waiting for you to speak.

All Alone In Love
Chorus:
Swept me away
But now Im lost in the dark
Set me on fire
But now Im left with a spark
Alone, you got beyond the haze and
Im lost inside the maze
I guess Im all alone in love
I look into your eyes
You turn the other way
And now I realize
Its all a game you play
I hold you in the night
And wake to find you gone
Youre running out of sight
Its so hard holding on
All alone in love
Chorus
You haunt me in your dreams
Im calling out your name
I watch you fade away
Your love is not the same
Ive figured out your style
To quickly drift apart
You held me for a while
Planned it from the start
All alone in love
Sitting in the dark without you
How am I supposed to make it
Through the night
Slowly fall apart without you
Cry away the hours
Till the morning light

Somebody Get My Mom
Woke up today in a van
Traded my pillow for a Miller Lite can
And in two more days I lose the guitar that I hawked
Slurped down a beer then one more twelve ounces later
I was outside your door and the pebble i threw
Was probably more like a rock
Then I fell, skinned my knee, broke my glasses, got stung by a bee
I lost my wallet and my car keys too
And to make matters worse, I'm coming down with the flu
Somebody get my mom cause i think something's broken again
And I don't want to be just friends, I said thanks for the ride
I'll just limp back inside cause I don't want you to see me cry
I just want my mom, somebody get my mom
I just want my mom, get my mom
Authorities came, I guess I was gone, next thing you know
I'm passed out on the lawn and boy did I wake up fast
With a rotweiler's tongue in my mouth
Wrote you a note but it got soaked when i went deep sea fishing
And I fell out of the boat and got caught on the trout line
And wasn't found for three days
Then I fell, skinned my knee, broke my glasses, got stung by a bee
I lost my wallet and my car keys too
And to make matters worse, I'm coming down with the flu
Somebody get my mom cause i think something's broken again
And I don't want to be just friends, I said thanks for the ride
I'll just limp back inside cause I don't want you to see me cry
I just want my mom, somebody get my mom
I just want my mom, get my mom
Mommy, she makes me cobbler cause i hate pie
She coached baseball when we needed her
We lost every game but to her came in first
And I'm so glad that she met my dad
I wouldn't be here if she never had (let's go)
I guess this is it the end of the song
Just my luck, nobody sang along
I guess I'll put dow this guitar and take the mongoose back home
Somebody get my mom cause I think something's broken again
And I don't want to be just friends, I said thanks for the ride
I'll just limp back inside cause I don't want you to see me cry
I just want my mom, (I just want my mom)
Somebody get my mom (somebody get my mom)
I just want my mom (I just want my mom) get my mom, m-o-m-m-y

Night Is Fallin' In My Heart
Won't you please turn up the lights
I can't hardly see
Thank you kindly but that don't help
Maybe it's just me
It seems I've had this problem since
My baby packed up to leave
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Could you pull those curtains back
And let the morning in
What's that ya say? Oh is that a fact?
Well, it still seems mighty dim
I guess I'll just have to live this way
Unless my baby come back again
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
And as the last ray of love
Slowly disappears
Alone in this endless night
I just see one thing clear
You see she used to be my sunshine
Now we're far apart
Night is fallin' in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin' in my heart
Night is fallin' in my heart
In my heart
In my heart

Loves A Funny Thing
Intro:
Shoop be doop
Shoop be doop doop dah
Shoop be doop
Loves a funny thing
Verse one:
(tamika):
Was only last night I felt you slip away,
I tried so hard to hide the pain inside of me babe.
I held you close but you werent with me,
I felt your mind a thousand miles away.
(tiny):
I was a fool to let you break me down,
You think by now that I would know,
Just what to expect from you, oh.
Everytime I fall, I make myself believe,
That you are changing,
And some day, the sun will shine through.
Chorus:
Love is a funny thing,
Your love is a funny thing,
Love is a funny thing,
Oooh.
(I dont wanna fall, dont wanna fall in love again)
Verse two:
(latocha):
When I first met you your heart was empty,
You were innocent and so full of joy.
But now youve changed and I dont know you,
You played me baby like a toy.
(tiny):
You see, I was surprised to see you with that girl,
When you said youd never ever ever ever see her again, no.
I dont want to control you, so baby if shes gonna hold you,
Then why dont you just stay, stay where youve been.
Repeat chorus
(I never never wanna fall again, no no no)
Bridge (kandi):
Everybody needs someone to hold them through the night,
And everybody needs someone to tell them its alright.
I gave you my heart and you only turned away,
So tell me baby, whats going to make you stay.
Repeat chorus
(I never ever want to fall in love again)

Its Over
(words & music by rodgers)
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make it stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
Thered be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
When you walk away from me
There is no place to put my hand
Except to shade my eyes against the sun
That rises over the land
I watch you walk away
Somehow I have to let you go
Cause its over
If you knew just how I really feel
You might return and yet
There are so many times
That people have to love and then forget
Oh there might have been a way somehow
I have to force myself to say
Its over
So I turn my back,
Turn my collar to the wind
Move along in silence
Trying not to think at all
I set my feet before me
Walk the silent street before me
Now its over
If time were not a moving thing
And I could make you stay
This hour of love we share
Would always be
Thered be no coming day
To shine a morning light
And make us realize our night is over
Its over

Focus on the distance and you fall
Deep inside of all the memories
You choose not to recall
Don't let go
Friends are always learning
Going to get things you couldn't hold
Doesn't mean that they don't care for you
They're just moving on
Doesn't mean that they don't care for you

This is just to compensate
Changes on my mind I made
Dreaming with you
But I cannot stay
All the times we had are gone
All the things and all the songs
Knew we wouldn't last forever
Nothing in this world comforts you[x2]

Noises in the attic
There was once a boy that was brave as can be,
There was but one thing he found to be frightly,
However that one thing caused much misery,
For it would haunt him in his bedroom nightly,
When a lack of sleep took toll on his welfare,
He was prompted to attempt to sleep elsewhere,
The boy went downstairs to sleep in an armchair,
Hopeful that a peaceful night could be found there,
And he prayed that from his fear he could break free,
But he was reminded of it constantly,
Since he wished to be as brave as he could be,
He went off to confront his fear ardently,
He went to the attic from whence came his woe,
And found a vile beast hidden amidst shadow,
He was horrified but the beast was more so,
As it then fled to where he would not follow.
