Destructive
she’s a martyr
a prophet
a poet
but
she shattered her
future, her confidence, her courage.
he’s a hero
a lover
an idiot
but
he shattered his
future, his confidence, his courage
together
they shattered their passion.

Coffee Courage
The bitter coffee kicked;
I shook and then I licked
My lips and gave a sigh.
Shattered eyes encouraged,
I nearly had envisaged
Waking up an eye.
Another sip; a jolt –
Not unlike a bolt
Of wattage from the mains.
My sockets under strain,
I tried it once again:
Aha! The light, the searing white –
My God, the bloody pain!

Shattered innocence
You shattered my innocence.
You shattered everthing good.
You shattered my way of being.
My happiness has gone.
You thought it wouldn't matter.
You thought you'd do what you like.
Not caring if you hurt me.
All you said is it was a game.
You said I'd like the game.
You said you'd teach me something new.
You certainly did that allright.
You taught me pain.
You didnt care when I cryed.
When I asked you not to you laughed.
And spat in my face.
You shattered my innocence.
You shattered my trust.
How could you do such a thing?
Your evil
Thats all I can say.
Your rotten to the core.

The Sky People
Confidence and hope
I'm looking forward to future plans
Not able to realize yet
Makes me wanna take a rope
or swallow some pills any time
But let's have a look
In the distance I see light
Gives me satisfaction
Keeps me hangin' on
When stability is gone
I take my own life
I make the decisions
I have a goal
That's worth living
Confidence in what I do
realising my hope
That's the bright side I'm looking for
But I know how to take it
In times when my life looks shattered
and I'm not feeling to well
Confused when I think
Which direction not for sure
Dreams far away
Time doesn't seem to go on

Broken Windows Shattered Mirrors
Broken windows shattered mirrors
The tiny slivers fall like tears
They cut me till my arms run red
They make me wish that I was dead
And though I try to carry on
I know my time here's almost gone
Broken windows shattered mirrors
Broken windows shattered mirrors
I'm surrounded by these fears
I know I shouldn't be afraid
I feel like I'm locked up in a cage
I push and pull try to get out
I scream until I just can't shout
Broken windows shattered mirrors
Broken windows shattered mirrors
I'll have bad luck seven years
I know it's just a superstition
But I also know it's pure intuition
That made me stay not fade away
So I could live another day
Broken windows shattered mirrors

For The Turnstiles
All the sailors with their seasick mamas
Hear the sirens on the shore,
Singin songs for pimps with tailors
Who charge ten dollars at the door.
You can really learn a lot that way
It will change you in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence may be shattered,
It doesnt matter.
All the great explorers
Are now in granite laid, (in granite lake? )
Under white sheets for the great unveiling
At the big parade.
You can really learn a lot that way
It will change you in the middle of the day.
Though your confidence may be shattered,
It doesnt matter.
All the bushleague batters
Are left to die on the diamond.
In the stands the home crowd scatters
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles,
For the turnstiles.

Underlying the whole scheme of civilization is the confidence men have in each other, confidence in their integrity, confidence in their honesty, confidence in their future.

In Courage
In courage-you find
no fear
and in courage-no weakness
does appear
In courage-steps toward
danger taken
and in courage-strength
within awaken
In courage- a hero
takes shape
and in courage- the villain
can't escape
In courage-there is a call
to duty
and in courage-out of ugliness
comes beauty

Lost Passion
Welcome hello, please take your seat
We leave now for a trip- in hell
Now we can start especially for you- join us now!
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces
Crawling off the stage
Forgotten heroes lost their passion, many years ago
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion
Now you can see, you can see what it means
To come to a world of lies, all such lies
Think about your destiny- the love you found
Was it just a dream, just a dream
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces...
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion- lost passion
Time after time in your life
Youre burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost passion- lost passion- lost passion
Solo
Time after time in your life...

Shattered Mirror
Shattered Mirror
Broken face
So lost now
I have no place
Scared of life
Nowhere to turn
So far to go
A life to learn
Shattered Mirror
Tattered dreams
All alone
Too hard it seems
Feel so empty
Lost inside
Too much to bear
I wish I'd died
Shattered Mirror
Murdered love
Dark thought come
And rise above
Tears of love
Heart of pain
Mess of thoughts
Maybe insane
Shattered Mirror
Loss of life
Hopes of death
Constant strife
Now let go
Lonely tear
Empty now
Wish you were here....

It was a World/ Titanic
It was a world
That we once lived in
And it was shattered
Like once our heart within
Was shattered into two
One was me
One was you
We prayed and prayed
In fear and pain and panic
Oh God
Make us one again
One for me
For my sake
Peace
Again I'll make
I'll make you two
One for me
One for you
And we were made one
Once more
Before
The world was shattered!

New Light
I am looking at myself in brand new light
I am breaking the shattered reflection tonight
I am going to let go of the past and look towards the future
I am going to love myself and know i'm a shooting star
I will be happy once and for all
I will wash away my pain as the last tear falls
I will like my body for what it is
I will have you as my witnesses
I will take pictures and think i am georgous
I won't let any one hurt me or cause insecurties
I am breaking the shattered reflection tonight
I am looking at myself in a brand new light

Crash
Shattered glass
Broken dreams
A nightmare it seems
To miss a boy you loved so much
To sit at his grave and wish to hug
A shattered car is all we have
Broken hearts all around
Sit by his shattered car and frown
A cross left on the side of the road
Reminds us that time is old
Lessons learned and lessons fought
Broken dreams torn apart
Sadness holds strong in our heart.

Shattered Dreams
So much for your promises
They died the day you let me go
Caught up in a web of lies
But it was just too late to know
I thought it was you
Who would stand by my side
And now youve given me, given me
Nothing but shattered dreams, shattered dreams
Feel like I could run away, run away
From this empty heart
You said youd die for me
Woke up to reality
And found the future not so bright
I dreamt the impossible
That maybe things could work out right
I thought it was you
Who would do me no wrong
(chorus)
From this empty heart
I thought it was you who youd die for love
(chorus)
Oh no no no - you said youd die for me
Oh oh, oh oh, die for me
So much for your promises

Shattered Dreams
My dreams are shattered
My life is empty
They took my dreams away
Ripped them out of my heart
Now I'm left with this void
This void that will never be filled again
They want me to be lonely
They want me to be depressed
They want me to be hated
They want me to die
No one cares that I'm alone
No one cares if I'm miserable
No one cares if I die
They had to take her away from me
They told me that its for the best
They took her away from me
Now my heart is shattered
No one can glue my heart together again
Because once its broken it can't be mend
They shattered my dreams
When they told me she doesn't exist

The Light From Your Smile
Oh the light from your smile
Can be seen for a mile
By travellers dark in their sorrow
If you want me to stay
Throw a smile my way
And Ill stay by your side till tomorrow
Woooah...
cause all my battered dreams are shattered now
And I need all your beauty to warm me
In the time that Ive known you
Ive always shown you
That I could be captured in kindness
Now a storms blowin
Tomorrow Im goin
Well the sun takes away my blindness
Woooah...
Cause all my tattered hopes are shattered now
I wait for the future to touch me
Oh the morning is nearing
The clouds disappearing
The sun will be coming to guide me
Wherever I go
I want you to know
That I carry your smile beside me
Woooah...
The slowly shifting fog is lifting now
And I see the road Ill be taking

A Necessity Of Courage For All!
Courage comes of clear knowledge and wisdom;
To successfully love courage is most needed of all;
Even to commit suicide courage is most needed;
Without courage nothing can be achieved bold ever!
Thoughts of clarity and perfection are most essential
For doing acts of straightforwardness and boldness!
Knowledge, experience and wisdom give sureness
And confidence, courage and boldness achieve all here!
Survival of the fittest in the forest are for the courageous
That dominate and rule the jungle life in Nature ever!
Education, job or governance courageous set the example
For others to follow the path to achieve better things ever!
Fostering of courage from the young age develops all
To do best things for the world to survive long in prosperity!

Real value
Who has made me sleepless?
Who has taken away all my happiness?
Why have I changed a lot?
What in turn have I got?
Lies, deception all were for me
It has made me prisoner and not free
I wanted to fly in fresh air
Does it look to you as very fair?
I am bodily broken
Confidence has shattered and mentally shaken
I have not enough courage to stand?
Are we still very much close and friend?
I want to make it as reality?
Love can be made and look super quality
There is fair chance of being loved
Put in confidence and show that you have believed
There won't be any use
If I shun the eyes and refuse
To accept her real message
That can remain with me till last age
I did underestimate the real value
I failed to grasp and need to view
Why did I look at and care for outer show?
Why did I hurry so much and not allow her to grow?
Love can't be one sided
It can't be one side decided
Fair chance is to be afforded to seek her opinion
Before she is entering holy alliance for becoming companion
Love hinges on delicate thread
In hunger it is chosen as bread
Gives sweetness as you chew more
So praise her and always adore
You may suffer more as consequence
If missed it inadvertently in life at once
It may not knock often even if desired
Memory may invade at later stage even when you are retired

No Love At The Dark
When the lights are shattered down
No love can survive
At the dust of the dark
The real love only liles at the sparkling light
No place for love
At the darkness of the night
When the hearts get broken
The passion of love get hidden
And all the love desires
get shattered
The love can not survive when the hearts get broken
