Still Waters

Still waters run deep

You know

Calm on the surface

Yet raging below

What you can see

Is not what you get

There’s more to me

Than you’d expect

 

Feelings so intense

Held inside

Their true nature

I can’t confide

Like wings of freedom

Strapped to my sides

I can’t let them out

I can’t fly

 

The real me

Is hidden away

A secret to be shared

Some other day

But what if that day

Never comes

And I can never share it

Before it’s gone

Brainwashed

 

Why do we live

If only to die?

Why do we love

If only to cry?

 

Why do we fight

If not to be free?

Who should I be

If I can’t be me?

 

Why do you speak

If only to lie?

Why do you believe

Without asking why?

 

Why do you follow

To be misled?

You’ve been brainwashed

It’s all in your head.

 

Black Roses

 

Our love died slowly

Killed by your bitterness

Faded away

Until nothing was left

 

A distant memory

Is all that remains

All but forgotten now

It’s you I blame

     

Gone from my heart

But not from my mind

Died long ago

Became dust in the wind

 

I realize now

It was all a lie

Just like Black Roses

Left to die

Ghost

 

Buried you alive

Wanted you gone

Lived with your ghost

For far too long

 

I’ve carried your bones

From place to place

All the pain

Had to be erased

 

Weight too heavy

Had to put it down

Life is better

With you gone

 

You’re still living

But dead to me

Burying your ghost

Has set me free

Dragon Ass

 

What day is this

Not Friday yet

How much slower

Can this week get

 

Is this a joke

Seems time has stopped

Someone reversed

The hands on the clock

 

      I’m a Dragon Ass today

      Drank too much and stayed out too late

      I’m a Dragon Ass today

      Need a jumpstart to get through the day

 

My ass is dragging

Just like the day

Where’s the beach

I wanna get away

 

Breath of fire

And mood to match

Don’t mess with me

I’ll kick your ass

 

I’m a Dragon Ass today

      Drank too much and stayed out too late

      I’m a Dragon Ass today

      Need a jumpstart to get through the day
