Survival
I was so aggressive to swim
To call for a fight hoping to win
Didn’t give you the chance to lead
Not knowing my breathing is weak
I was nearly drowned in a pool of shame
Couldn’t lift up my hands to wave
I can’t shout, unable to call for help
I was holding my only last breath
Then suddenly you pulled me out of distress
You brought me above the surface of lies
Rescued me from the monster of doubts
Now I’m trying to access the air of pardon and love

Marilyn
She lies
Upon her bed so still
unable to summon up the will
to get out and face the day
as time slowly slips away.
She shies
From the inevitability
not accepting reality.
For Death is approaching fast!
How much longer will she last?
Her eyes
Look around at the family
gathered so uneasily
as they gaze helplessly on
knowing she will soon be gone.
She tries
To fight for her very life
to remain there as his wife.
But she's unable to speak
and her body is so weak.
She sighs
Exhaling her final breath
and her body gives in to death.
The finality of death is felt
by her bedside as they knelt.
She dies
Breathing out lifes last breath
and succumbing to her death.
Lying there upon her bed
all motionless. She is dead.
She flies
Her soul to worlds unknown
and he's left there all alone.
Helplessly looking at her there
beyond the reach of his care.
He cries
Gazing upon her lifeless face
and holding her in his embrace.
Unable to prevent the flow
of his deep sobs of sorrow.
'Arise'
She is summoned before God
to account for the paths she'd trod.
Stands alone before Him there
as her life's deeds are laid bare.
Surprise
Our turn too will quickly come
when God shall call our soul home.
We too must pass through death
when we draw our final breath.
Be wise
Let's kiss God's Son while we may
to survive that judgement day
then through Jesus we'll be forgiven
and allowed to enter into heaven.
Cant Hold Us Down
So what am I not supposed to have an opinion
Should I be quiet just because Im a woman
Call me a bitch cos I speak whats on my mind
Guess its easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled
When a female fires back
Suddenly the target dont know how to act
So he does what any little boy will do
Making up a few false rumors or two
That for sure is not a man to me
Slanderin names for popularity
Its sad you only get your fame through controversy
But now its time for me to come and give you more to say
This is for my girls all around the world
Whove come across a man who dont respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know were gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave them proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, cant hold us down
\nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Nobody can hold us down
Never can, never will so what am I not supposed to say what Im saying
Are you offended by the message Im bringing
Call me whatever cos your words dont mean a thing
Guess you aint even a man enough to handle what I sing
If you look back in history
Its a common double standard of society
The guy gets all the glory the more he can score
While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore
I dont understand why its okay
The guy can get away with it & the girl gets named
All my ladies come together and make a change
Start a new beginning for us everybody sing
This is for my girls all around the world
Whove come across a man who dont respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
What do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know were gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, cant hold us down lil kim:
Check it - heres something I just cant understand
If the guy have three girls then hes the man
He can either give us some head, sex her off
If the girl do the same, then shes a whore
But the tables about to turn
Ill bet my fame on it
Cats take my ideas and put their name on it
Its aiight though, you cant hold me down
I got to keep on movin
To all my girls with a man who be tryin to mack
Do it right back to him and let that be that
You need to let him know that his game is whack
And lil kim and christina aguilera got your back
But youre just a little boy
Think youre so cute, so coy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil things
So youre just a little boy
All youll do is annoy
You must talk so big
To make up for small lil things
This is for my girls...
This is for my girls all around the world
Whove come across a man who dont respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know were gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, cant hold us down
This is for my girls all around the world
Whove come across a man who dont respect your worth
Thinking all women should be seen, not heard
So what do we do girls?
Shout louder!
Letting them know were gonna stand our ground
Lift your hands high and wave em proud
Take a deep breath and say it loud
Never can, never will, cant hold us down
Spread the word, cant hold us down

Call On Me
Caught in the crossbow of ideas and journeys
sit here reliving the other self's mournings
Caught in the crossbow of ideas and dawnings
stand I
Oh oh oh oh
Reliving the past of the maddening impulse
violent upheaval, the pure driven instinct
The pure driven murder, the attraction of daring
stand I
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call on me
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call
[Rowena:]
A wild being from birth
my spirit spurns control
wondering the wide earth
searching for my soul
Dimly peering
I would surely find
what could there be more purely bright
in truth's day-star
Ooohhh
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call, call on me
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call on me
Why didn't you call on me
why didn't you call

Why Now? ?
Many purpose, didn't you reject?
My eagerness to meet you, didn't you neglect?
Only once a day you call, my call u won't answer
I pick your call but u talk like u r in mood: anger
Said you never loved me or gave a damn care
Even if I die, bleed till death or cry many tear
It really looked like u were not lying..
Shouted at me n you stopped calling..
After few days, then you suddenly call
Just because you saw me in hospital
Now tell me why did you call, me? ? ?
While before you said u don't care or love me? ?

The End Of The World
Go if you want to
I never tried to stop you
Know there's a reason
For all of this you're feeling
Low, it's not my call
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
Me - I don't show much
It's not that hard to hide you
See in a moment
I can't remember how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love...
You want me to cry and play my part
I want you to sigh and fall apart
We want this like everyone else
Stay if you want to
I always wait to hear you say
There's a last kiss
For all the times you run this way
It's not my fault
You couldn't ever love me more
You couldn't love me more
You couldn't love...
Love me more
Couldn't ever love me more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love
You want me to lie not break your heart
I want you to fly not stop and start
We want us like everything else
Maybe we didn't understand
Not just a boy and a girl
It's just the end of the
End of the world
Me - I don't say much
It's far too hard to make you
See in a moment
I still forget just how to
Be all you wanted
I couldn't ever love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more

You Thought Wrong
I see how your trying to weasel
your way in
boy I know how you maneuveur
with your confusion
you tell me that I'm your only
and how bad that you want me
well then why are you so shady
if I'm supposed to be your lady
why should I believe anything you say
and how could you shame me that way
tell me where where did you get the nerve
to even think that you you could
play me wrong
you thought we didn't know
you thought we were in the dark
but boy your covers blown
cause we both know now
you thought you had us fooled
at your beck & call
but now who's the joke
and look who's laughing now
now your trying to use us against one another
but it won't work
I see right though your game boy
and I know exactly where to play boy
you tried to deny all your actions
for once in your life be a real man
at least give me the proper respect
of the truth I already know you did it
why should I believe anyting you say
and how could you shame me that way
tell me where did you get the nerve
to even think that you could
play me wrong
you thought we didn't know
you thought we were in the dark
but boy your covers blown
cause we both know now
you thought you had us fooled
at your beck & call
but now who's the joke
and look who's laughing now
I see right through you baby
try not to be like you don't want me
why don't you get it through your thick head
cause I've seen this game before
and I'm not trying to see it no more
SHUT YOUR MOUTH
I'm not trying to hear your lies
no not again
sorry you couldn't be a better man
you thought we didn't know
you thought we were in the dark
but boy your covers blown
cause we both know now
you thought you had us fooled
at your beck & call
but now who's the joke
and look who's laughing now
Guess you thought wrong
look who's laughing now
You stupid

A Cure For The Broken
I swallow lumps of aching beats called lies
tormenting my body infecting what was said to be my heart
turning it more red, more love corrupted
ticking ticking away at my flesh
drilling this love throughout my body so very fast
i breathe an endless breath knowing you have the power to take it away
away forever leaving me breathless and anxious
as if i had never learned how to breathe
and killing me almost instanly for breath is not exhaled
i stare at the back of my mind i call yours
for memories of this love swim as if so filled through it
drowning me with these happy thoughts causing me to smile
evern if my face has tatooed only a frown
leaving no chance of a smile to arise, to form, TOO empty
even if water fills my mind by the second
i have no filling left to make me fell cured
cured from this disease i rapidly call love
for im addicted to the uncertainty of knowing how to feel
addicted to the love i never knew i could have
as long as i stand i have the power to breathe
as long as i breathe my heart has the power to beat
as long as it beats i have the power to love
and as long as i love i have the power to live
but what if dieing comes first?

Whoops, I Odd
Whoops I odd, shortness of breath, call ambulance, tell my wife I love her
Error in judgement cut my life, no second chance,no guiding light
I never meant to cause you pain
I never thought Id be the one who took the fall
I got lost in the moment, assholes like to test the limit
Six minutes down, breathing machine, brain not feel right
The look on you is killing me, drowning in shame
But dont feel bad, cuz I never feard consequences
Hate regrets more than apologies
A year has passed, like photographs, my life is just
A scrapbook of old friends and faded memories
Looks like I pulled the rub out from under myself
The falls too much for me to recover from
Its been real fun but now I must say goodbye, Ill see you all at okie dogs

My Heart Is Healed
You rang my phone.
And I heard you there breathing.
Not even an 'hello'...
Did you consider to say to me.
And I wondered 'why' you called,
My telephone number.
When you knew that I would check,
The caller ID.
It was up to you not me to leave.
You had decided it was finally over.
It was up to you not me to leave.
And suddenly you reappear.
Hoping my life,
Seeks you to fill a need.
You rang my phone.
And I heard you there breathing.
Not even an 'hello'...
Did you consider to say to me.
It was up to you not me to leave.
You had decided it was finally over.
It was up to you not me to leave.
And suddenly you reappear.
Hoping my life,
Seeks you to fill a need.
Don't you call me no more!
Exploring possibilities,
There is a vacancy.
Empty but you've got the key!
Don't you call me no more!
Exploring possibilities,
There is a vacancy.
My heart is healed and has been relieved.

Mistress and dogs
Mistress and dogs
~
There is a selfish satisfaction
Set amongst the sweat and shame
In the messed up bedrooms
Clothes lay scattered on the floor
Thrown in a moment of lust
A savage wild wanting desire
That took hold and passed so quick
It was barely even given a second thought
Now having had their piece of meat
Liars, cheaters, lover’s lay still
Smiling without talking
What brought them here?
Sex sells it’s overpowering
Makes good men weak
And weak women stronger
None are right to cast judgement
Both are as guilty as the other
They’re lying breathless
Thinking of that shower
To mask their shame and lies
Knowing it will be repeated
When chance allows

That Crack We Call Love
Your(My) breath in break
Your(My) heart in beak
our eyelids blink; blink
though the light of noon
we are blind
totally blind
ease and bless
for our souls
but crabby mad
for our minds
so that..
that crack we call love
we call love
we need love
we shout love
whispering love
smiling love
crying love
sing for love
dreaming love
feight for love
live for love
die for love
love for love
life for love
love for life
and all that
crack..
you call
i call
we call
love.

I'll Be Around
This is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice
And now it's up to me to bow out gracefully
You know you hold the key, but baby
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around
Oh I, oh I knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know
There's always a chance a tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, show that you know it
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around, be around, oh yeah
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around
Whenever you call me, whenever you call me
Whenever you want me, whenever you want me
Whenever you need me, whenever you need me
I say I'll be around, be around and around
Whenever you call me, oh gonna love you
Whenever you want me, oh I'm going too far from you
Whenever you need me, whenever you need me
I'll be around
Whenever you call me
Whenever you want me
Whenever you want me like I'm gonna give
Whenever you need me, oh don't think I don't need you
I'll be around

Love and Life at the Sea shore
A castle was built with sands
Many moments of love and care,
At the sea shore, how he dared?
But the boy brought it up with his hands.
A big wave brought it down.
It didn’t last, his moments of joy
How a blow could destroy
Saw the boy, his castle drowned.
He wept for long but stood up again.
Love and dreams, those around you
Bring you back in life too.
Collecting shells drove him when.

Here, There And Everywhere
To lead a better life i need my home to be here...
Here, making each day of the year
Changing my life with the wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speking but she doesn't know he's there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know i need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping i'm always there
I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
I know i need never care
But to love her is to need her everywhere
Knowing that love is to share
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes and hoping i'm always there
To be there and everywhere

My choices
I have to self doubt....
inside, I just scream and shout!
I want to let you in,
I want my life to re begin........
something keeps holding me,
my thoughts, my memory!
I finally break my walls...I want to love...
feel it all!
So broken,
unable to breath...
not you..no..
just me: (
I can pick you apart and take your soul,
my insides...no...you can never know......
am I too gone to see the truth,
was it only in my youth?
I'm sorry I have brought you pain,
I wanted to love again....
I'm not ready....
I can't pretend....
I wanted too..
but this had to end: (
I Only Need
To trace your fingers down my spine,
shall I call it spine-tingling?
To intertwine your limbs with mine,
shall I call that intermingling?
I do not think I shall give it names.
There is no need to do so.
I only need to think on it,
for the pleasure it gives me
is nameless, but priceless.
It cannot exact a fee.
To place the tip of your tongue on me,
shall I call that tongue-ing?
To inhale your breath that's close to me,
shall I call that breathing?
I do not think I shall label it.
And so I shall not try.
I only need to think on it
for the thoughts tell me why.
It's lableless, but joyous.
It will never, ever die.

The Squeeze
Well it's the same old story, but it never made a lick of sense to me
How it's always on the working man to pay for everything we never see
Do you know what I mean?
Well you can call it what you like
But where I come from, they call it the Squeeze
All this talk about some changes
It's just politicians promising the moon
So it's do without, it's in and out
The fools on the Hill gonna need more soon
Well you can call it that you like
But where I come from they call it the squeeze
put the squeeze on me
yeah, they're gonna put the squeeze on me and you
And they say don't drink the water
Could be something in your coffee or your tea
And who knows just what's in the air?
You take a chance now every time you breathe
Well you can call it what you like
But where I come from, they call it the squeeze
So you work two jobs to get ahead
You wind up with less than you had before
do you know what I mean?
And if money can't buy happiness
Then why do I keep needin' more and more?
Well you can call it what you like
But where I come from they call it the squeeze
But that don't make it right just don't give up don't give in
Call it anything you like,
Where I come from
They call it the squeeze

Warning Angels
They seem to light when I'm at rest
Not thinking much at all
Then suddenly a feeling comes
And tells me not to call
A former friend who suddenly
Decides to pick up ties
That long ago she tore away
Ignoring many tries
From me to meet or call or care
With pale excuses, lies
They say when someone lets you down
You need to let them go
That angels pulled them from your life
To clear the way and sow
New budding friendships up ahead
Much brighter than what's gone
To newer beauties up ahead
Before your journey's done
As time rolls on I tend to trust
Those warning angels near
Their visits help to soften, heal
The losses once held dear
They guide me in their silent ways
Just when I need a lift
My warning angels soften days
Turn losses into gifts.
