Equal reactions
Time was not far
To leave whom you’d wooed,
To abandon whom you’d craved
And to skip whom you’d admired
Time was not far
To leave who’d wooed you,
To abandon, who’d craved you,
And to skip, who’d admired you.
Time was not far
For those who would abandon,
Who would desert you
Or who would at least slip from you.

Abandon
I leave you; I leave you with your life,
with your lovers, your adventures and projects,
I leave you without my thoughts, sad and
wounded, without my questions
without my broken answers, but do
not believe as a fact everything, do not
believe never believe, this false abandon,
because I will be there when you least expected,
for example; in an old age maple tree with dark
nodding branches, or in far away galaxies that
shine higher when you are there gazing at them.
I leave you without the memories that lived in our
minds for decades, I leave you, I leave you. But never,
never be assure of all this ridiculous abandon, never
my darling, never because in this abandon I'll always
follow your steps, in anything you might
gaze at so hard that you disappear bringing me
back into your lonely world all over again.

Stockholm Syndrome
I won't stand in your way
let your hatred grow
and she'll scream and she'll shout
and she'll pray and she had a name.
Yeah she had a name
I won't hold you back
let your anger rise
and we'll fly and we'll fall and we'll burn
no one will recall, no one will recall
this is the last time I'll abandon you
and this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
look to the stars
let hope burn in your eyes
and we'll love
and we'll hate
and we'll die
all to no avail
all to no avail
this is the last time I'll abandon you
and this is the last time I'll forget you,
I'll forget you
I wish I could
this is the last time I'll abandon you
and this is the last time I'll forget you
I wish I could
I wish I could

You Have Given Me Every Hint
I am going to love you,
Whether you like that or not.
I wish I can leave and abandon it myself.
But I can't.
That's just who I am.
Unconditionally devoted,
I guess.
What else could this be?
I am going to love you,
Whether you like that or not.
And I would cry myself to sleep,
Wondering why it had to be you...
Kept on my mind all the time.
Why can't I find someone to return my love,
The way it is given?
Why must I find myself jumping through hoops?
To seduce my own sorrows.
And borrowing from tomorrow's policy...
Of better days ahead!
My 'best' days seem to have me,
Victimized by my own compassion.
I am going to love you,
Whether you like that or not.
I wish I can leave and abandon it myself.
But I can't.
That's just who I am.
Unconditionally devoted,
I guess.
What else could this be?
I've discounted stupidity as a reason I'm like this.
Since I purposely on many a day portrayed myself a fool,
For you.
I've discounted foolishness,
Because I thought I was control of it.
I've discounted...
You!
In my own created scenerios!
Hey...
That's it!
To you I haven't expressed this.
That's why you react the way you do!
Now I know what is missing.
To you I haven't expressed this.
Hey...
That's it!
And you have given me every hint,
That perhaps I should!
How could I have let that slip my mind?
And I'm thinking all this time,
You should be the one to already know.

WE DIE/ AND ABANDON AND BETRAY
We die
And abandon and betray
Those we most
Would not abandon and betray.

When God Abandons Me Will I Abandon God?
WHEN GOD ABANDONS ME WILL I ABANDON GOD?
When God abandons me will I abandon God?
When the last illness comes and there is no hope,
When I know I am lost to this world,
Will I still place my trust in God
To care for those I love that I will leave behind?
When God abandons me will I believe
That somehow in some other world I continue to be?
When God abandons me
Will I believe I am not really abandoned at all
Despite my pain and suffering as I die?

Distress
Butterflies, trees and the clues for this triangle!
For i am in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Visualize the future with the expeditions of mankind and,
Do not distress yourself with the fruits of love;
For i am like an abandon colony.
A romantic dreamer,
And of the cheekbones to spare;
But, love can leave you uncertain! !
And like a 'Ghanaianlogist' in a distinctive territory,
For, i am like an abandon colony.
Aeronautics, astonautics, areodynamic;
Love can leave you uncertain! !
But, visualize the future with rthe expectations of life.

Abandon Those Juggled Balls
There is a thin and fine line,
Between this and that...
Which is not finitely defined.
And easily snapped!
To pop, crack and become detached.
When one's patience has stretched,
To leave emotions stressed unrelenting...
Regrets publicly expressed,
Can damage some relationships...
With an ending them not to mend,
Ever again.
Abandon those juggled balls.
Drop them to let them fall,
Where they may.
Abandon those juggled balls.
Step forward with nothing to say.

Evil Mind
Crawling through age with your anger and rage
Hiding away from your past
Here in this time we ain't living in crime
You can not ignore our rules
Don't try to challenge our God
Cause he's got the strength that no man possess
Don't be a pain in his ass abandon your evil thoughts
I am a man who is send to your land
To defeatyour mighty one
I will bring darkness with honour and pride
Please tell your Lord to hide
Don't try to challenge our God
Cause he's got the strength that no man possess
Don't be a pain in his ass abandon your evil thoughts
He have to fight I will challenge he's might
And soon I will rule this world
Don't be to sure our God will not fall
He will destroy your black force
Don't try to challenge our God
Cause he's got the strength that no man possess
Don't be a pain in his ass abandon your evil thoughts

Life’s meaning
My lady is such a woman
That I cannot touch her,
Leave alone a hold or union.
Here is such a charm
That I cannot skip
Leave alone forgetting.
The cause being unknown,
The life retains meaning.

And With This Thirsting Craved
With a thirsting craved.
And a hunger of desire...
They believed,
In achieving.
And needed this done...
To satisfy,
What they felt inside.
With a discipline uncommon,
They met and rid themselves...
Of obstacles.
And affirmed success,
Would be theirs!
Or they would not rest.
With this thirsting craved.
And with this thirsting craved,
Everyday there were dues to pay.
And naysayers with nothing positive to say...
But would not get in the way of those who craved.
Those who stayed focused night and day, praying!
Until nothing but Sun would beam from their faces!

Tell Me
(s. hoffs/v. peterson)
Susanna and vicki
Threw away the things you loved
Now you want me to forgive you
Surprise surprise, Im moving on
Yeah, Im moving on
What a shock it is to see
That I can walk away so easily
Isnt it funny how hard its turned out
This time Im moving on
Tell me, tell me
While I still have the time
Are you gonna find a love
Thats truer than mine
One, two, three abandon me
Aint no turning back again
Well too bad baby, this time you lose
cause Im moving on.
Tell me, tell me
While I still have the time
Are you gonna find a love
Thats truer than mine
One, two, three abandon me
Aint no turning back again
Well too bad baby, this time you lose
cause Im moving on
Im moving on

A Hop, Skip and a Jump
A hop, skip and a jump
From where it is we're going,
A hop, skip and a jump
From ever really knowing.
Such a short distance and yet so vast
And in all the unknowing the die's been cast.
Best we not see what the future brings.
Best just to concentrate on how the nightingale sings.
For the hop, the skip and the jump
Is the uncertainty we all must face.
For linear time that's present on earth
Has been limited since our birth.

I Had To Skip School
I had to skip school because I got sick
If I walk out the house I'll get hit by a brick
I had to skip school because I'm afraid
That on my way I'll get run over by a big parade
I had to skip school i had a funelreal to attend
I had to find school uniform that was the new trend
I had to skip school because I wokeup late
I broke my thumb learning how to skate
I had to skip school because I felt blue
My brother stuck my hands with supper glue
I had to skip scool because scool is boring
I wonder what excuses I'll have tomorrow morning

Skip Your Trip
Skip your trip.
And admit to it.
Just seal your lips.
And listen a bit.
Skip your trip...
And listen to what's been said.
It's okay to make mistakes.
People have done that everyday.
But it's not okay...
Just to turn and walk away.
It's okay to make mistakes.
People have done that everyday.
But it's not okay...
To believe your way is 'the' way.
Skip your trip.
And admit to it.
Just seal your lips.
And listen a bit.
Skip your trip...
And listen to what's been said.
No one has to disrespect,
An opinion that they don't accept.
Because it's something they wish not to hear.
No one has to get upset.
To later find they have regrets.
When all they had to do is comprehend.
And everybody says that this is wished.
But patience slips from them real quick.
And brooding attitudes are left to share.
Everywhere the frowns are there.
Skip your trip.
And admit to it.
Just seal your lips.
And listen a bit.
Skip your trip...
And listen to what's been said.
Skip your trip.
And listen up a bit!
Skip your trip.
And listen up a bit!
Skip your trip.
And use your head instead!
Oh...
Skip your trip.
And listen up a bit!
Skip your trip.
And listen up a bit!
Skip your trip.
And use your head instead!

Lord, Why I Got Leave Everything Behind
Lord, why have I got to leave everything behind,
why must I abandon at a time and place
my darling wife and also my own will
and why have I got to go away alone,
to cover my eyes with my hands before You
and reach You as a single person;
I feel so blemished against Your pure light
and before You I stand totally alone;
You had brought love for all of my hatred.

The knot of the family
A woman dons the role of temptress
With her contours visible to a Big Boy
Brute.
Man is drawn to her and seeds are planted.
He must not deceive nor leave her.
So she dons the role of mother
With her breasts locking his head.
Man clings to her as a Little Boy Lost.
Hardly does a man abandon his family.

Shame
Ive done things God shouldve questioned
But I dont care.
Ive seen things that made my flesh crawl
But I was young.
Ive said things that you believed in
But I dont mean.
I heard things, one more confession that
Leaves me cold.
My picture ashames you
My picture
My picture ashames me
My picture
This aint love, this aint affection
But you dont care.
This aint need, Im not the fashion
So leave my heart.
So good God were you mistaken
Now will I burn?
No more lies no more distraction
So pay you back.
Religion ashames you
Religion
Religion ashames me
Religion
Im lying shame on me
(secrets forever)
This disease shame on me
(secrets forever)
My memories shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon,abandon me
(secrets forever)
This fashion ashames you
This fashion
This passion ashames me
This passion
Ill never ashame you
Ill never ashamed me.
A stranger, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Nostalgia, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Religion, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon, abandon me.
Ive done things God shouldve questioned
But I dont care.

So far as modern science is concerned, we have to abandon completely the idea that by going into the realm of the small we shall reach the ultimate foundations of the universe. I believe we can abandon this idea without any regret. The universe is infinite in all directions, not only above us in the large but also below us in the small.

Abandon City
Did you see the color of the water coming out of the tap?
Did you hear the chatter of the hammer
When youre trying to nap?
Theres nothing on the counter at the a&p store
The bank dont even bother now to open the door
It aint pretty, pity
Abandon city
Everybody over the side
The hour is late, theyre closing the gate, no time to decide
Abandon city
Yeah, you better run for your lives
Theres nothing to spare
The cupboard is bare
The bees have all left the hive
Someones doing a non-stop performance
Of the rape of the lock
No ones got the nerve to take a tiptoe after seven oclock
And everybodys looking for a piece of the rock
And I just want to get my cadillac out of hock
Too much nitty gritty
