Crying Lessons

Love,
Love
I am bleeding from a gash I’ve carried far too long
It seems with time the pain should be receding
conceding the point I thought we were fighting for.
We’re fighting for nothing and no one will win.
Theres too much pain and pride can be deceiving.
I’ve just learned how to cry.
I’ve had a change of mind.

GREEN EYED MONSTER!
The lyre summons demons who will whisper in your dreams
They feed upon your screams
rejoice when you cant breathe
Take in what you cant see while you’re out seeking your xi
Made a believer out of me
A disguise that caught me by surprise
A lie allowed not forgotten
A noose above the heads of those who's hearts had simple gotten
Left behind still ahead of the trend
But the hunger calls for more when the music makes sense
Whats the pattern we are seeking
Watch the mood, it depends.
None would say that you are scary
None would say you’re terrifying
But in your eyes there lies a monster
and he whispers ugly secrets
He will tell you you're imperfect
He might say that you are lacking
But my heart, it knows much better
Yes Ive learned you that much better
Now, Im not saying that I'm the wisest
But I have a small idea
if we could put aside our weakness
If we could put aside our fears
If we could stand up in our power
Rise as one in our new strength
Then we could motivate the masses that
Loves not just a game to play
I love you like I’m getting paid to
Hunny can't you see the pain
the shame at losing emeralds
ruby, diamonds, you are golden
Shining
Shimmering
Like that gleam in your eyes
(Green eyed monster)
I growl at the heathens
I am not judgmental, I'm just stuck inside my grievance
A death shut me down from mortal ventures
Rebellion from pleasure
now Craving blood I know
this might take some desperate measures
must eliminate snow
Eliminate curtain
current moments seem scary
but that past was darkly certain
hurting beyond repair
the glare just sticks with me
fairly, you stiffed me
Barely, Im lifting
I care, but I'm shifting
Now I have taken crying lessons
And I have shared what my heart says
Still I think about you all day
its clear my love just wants to stay
Though Ive forgotten what you look like
am I just living in denial but
I still smell lavender kisses
I still Imagine how you smile
I cant help but think about him
Though I've never seen his face
though I've never heard his name
seems like someones took my place
Now when I look into the mirror
And see green eyes under beret
I miss the love I sought to save
Loves not just a game to play
I love you like I’m getting paid to
Hunny can't you see the pain
the shame at losing emeralds
ruby, diamonds, you are golden
perfect, and i miss you
Sincerely , your man
Tiptoe up the steps out to the balcony
where I see some shadows down below sneaking out into dark alleys
A glint below I think belongs to eyes
I used to gaze into, I phase into
A memory Id blocked
because the shame is too
much for the moment
Stolen from the times where pain was our biggest component
I own it , Ive blown it
I glance down one more time before I turn into a stone (shit)

Bear Witness

Bear Witness
I sit and witness
is this you
Is it me
And as the rain falls
wet walls
crumble
crumble
My Lord Has it ended
Given that time was suspended
Given what space apprehended
Given the way that I feel
It seems we’re stuck here in a wheel
And the wheel keeps moving forward
But we keep feeling cornered
And its toruture
Drawn and quartered
Boarders without Board
Bored with Monotony
He
She
can't describe us
Cause we both say
Its not me
Lots free But its crowded
Clouded with their baggage
They keep moving on
Their spots filled with our new song
\
Grits and gravy
Lifes not perfect baby
But at least the pain is wavering
I get it
I lied
Im a piece of scum
But Im trying
Im tired
But I wrote this
Feel Helpless
Feel Hopeless
Feel like growing
Greatness
If its its over
Save this
Behave its the
Best Shot
Caught what the test wrought
Fought missed the best part
Start back at the fresh start
My God what a blessed carp
Part in time or emotions
The new life following motions
My devotions going no where
Ive written how much I care
And I stare cause its too fair

Ooo-Wee
03:19
|

Im confused
Identity
’s’defined by me
So who's the king
Whos the queen
whos in charge
and whats this charge that barged in while I was
Sweet Sweet Sleeping
God only knows
Whos that weeping
The best in show
and it shows
Ooo Wee
Ooo Wee
Who could know it hurts so bad
No one
All I know is that Id
rather take the bullet than run
Who could see this as the end
Not Me
I just see this as the
start of something new and free
Im upset
Dont understand
why you get mad
and you shut down
but Im your man
Am I your man
or are you mine
I wrote it all
quote the fall
my fault this
Sweet Sweet sleeping
Broke my dreams in half
My bad
Whos that peeping
My mirrored path
and my wrath
Ooo wee
Ooo wee
Ooo wee
I am the king

I Know ...

mmm mmm X 3
I know that its all just a matter of time
’Til I ain’t got a dime
As a matter of fact
I know that its all just a matter of opinion
What Im feeling cant be
Compromised
What Im feeling cant be
Compromised
I know that its all just in my head
This feeling of dread and indecision
I know that its all just a matter of love
Whats the matter with love
Once Again
I know that its all just in my head
This feeling of dread and indecision
I know that its all just a matter of love
Whats the matter with love
That feeling cant be compromised
Love cant be
Compromised
what I feel to say
someones always wrong
what I feel to do is
Just let you know that
What life I have
What mistakes Ive made
doesn't change the truth
the truth is
I love you
You stepped through the storm lover
Ive been week not wrong lover
So we have have this song others
envy this
I can hold my head high
head high
you can trust in my eyes
my eyes
I can take a step away
we write the new play

Feeling

Feeling
This Feeling
Understanding
It could be so terrifying
I knew it
From the start
So who's to blame for my broken heart
My god its gotten cold out
let the ghosts out from the closet
but Im still standing
Getting stronger
Instead of fear I just love song her
My face could melt way from the pressure
from the pressure
Theres no time love could measure
love could measure
My god its gotten cold out
let the ghosts out from the closet
but Im still standing
Getting stronger
Instead of fear I just love song her
This Feeling
Understanding
It could be so terrifying
I knew it
From the start
So who's to blame for my broken heart
If I could watch all my assumptions
Judgements an ordinary lot
I would much rather sit upon the moonlit cove
Much preferred than lost in lonely coast

Love Story
04:27
|

Love
My dreams have a habit of appearing when I awake
Ive had the same one for ten years and Ive yet to realize its not fake
Id like to say it was a dream about emotions
A dream about judgements
And preconceived notions
Or war Or hate
But instead
The hardest dream of all,
Love, sits on my plate
She looks in my eyes
Deceptive but wise
Hurt but still strong and a muse for this song
I missed her the last time
and the one before that
And the one before that
And the one before that she was a soldier
Who took on mighty arms, No one could hold her
I was the same as now
Stubborn and headstrong
And my music had called her
and she came along
And while she took it all in
A knife in the back
And she passed from this world as her body went slack
The time before that she was a writer
Who could woo all the masses
Her words could transform from honey to molasses
From gold into lead
From cotton to sugar
She was the best
Guess who knew her
Yes just I
The same as right now
Foolhardy Spontaneous, Stubborn, and Proud
She heard my voice from afar
Sad and wailing
Misunderstood and demanding
And she sat and she listened and wrote one word on the paper
Then she vanished from sight and I searched for my savior
The one word held no consequence to anyone but me
And as I read it again
and again
and again
I believed
She was talking about me and that seemed far fetched
The word on the sheet was just simply
Blessed
This time around I caught her and lost her
She searches for me though I sit right beside her
And while Im still the same
guilty
ashamed
beholden to pain
makes me sit out in vain
She's only gotten better
A little hurt cause Im lost
and A little worn from
and a little worn from the cost
A little tired and timid
She believes in the me and the now that we live in
I start to understand since she wont let me go
I dont want to go anywhere
I just want to find home
I want her there beside me
I want to lie down to dream, and my dreams aren't just inside me
I want to be strong and be brave and be proud
That the woman Ive found
That Ive written
and fought for
Is real
and Im smitten
and Its brought more of me out
Freed now
I see the new meaning now
I see the new story
I see the new part
Im excited
and It hurts
But I live for the heart

Soldier
03:33
|
|||
Is he a soldier
Sodered pain upon his heart
Just a loving filigree
Agree that this is just a part
He’s got a gun-Pon his shoulder
Loaded with the never ending
Never-ending story ends
Cause this is just the start
Is he an addict he emphatically constricts the feeling
Mad and he depicts the squealing
Sad and he repicks the one he never thought he'd loose
Nevers just a word
But conflicted he just broods
So lost in his old mood
Its just a part that he feels
Apart from the feeling
He's just a part of the whole
One understanding
There cant be two of you
Who’s looking back at you
Its just a part that he feels
Apart from the feeling
He's just a part of the whole
One understanding
There cant be two of you
Who’s looking back at you
On this stationary Ive received from the services I offered
To my country and self
I write for Oshun’s health
I admit Ive run from destiny
As my path was ever changing
Ive been avoiding all the winds
Ive close my eyes to what Im painting and
now Im fainting in the face of danger
The unknown haunts my dreams and
Im no stranger when this realms fabric
rips at the seams
And a beam from the void
And a great love supreme
And a scene from the past
Though it seems like a dream
Theres a boy with a drum
What grin hints of mischief
She's intrigued by the man deep inside
no resistance
To the distance of the king deified
Hes a great king now though he once was alive
What a shame that he died
(Its alright, storms alive)
Is he a coward
Lost in fear he lies about the past
In now he's different than the last
and he's loosing her so fast
Much faster than he knows
Mastered fear regains the truth
The pastor couldn't show
The soldier chose to grow
Is he a coward
Lost in fear he lies about the past
In now he's different than the last
and he's loosing her so fast
Much faster than he knows
Mastered fear regains the truth
The pastor couldn't show
The soldier chose to grow
Its just a part that he feels
Apart from the feeling
He's just a part of the whole
One understanding
There cant be two of you
Who’s looking back at you

Heart Says
01:26
|
|||
It’s what my heart says
I don't dare believe it when my head speaks
What the hell is happening
my feet quake
my heart aches
My soul glows
Overflows
Now my words lack
Just what I am saying
while Im praying
Face first inthe shower
and I’ll glower
I stu-stutter
Im still here with my fear

The Life
04:11
|
|||
Theres no seat open up on the balcony floor
You'll have to go down there
Down where you can see much more
It might not be comfortable
But the view you get is true
Here in the depths
Just wait and see
what are we fighting for
I took a train under the sea
to find what I'm longing for
what Im waiting for
Is it you or is it me
Up on the rooftop where its too hot
I can see the past
And out from the backside Theres a black lie
what the future cast
Excuse me
Am I moving to fast
Can it last if the joys looking down
Can it stand if the past holds the crown
Can it live if we decide we’re not alive
We’re not alive
We are the life
