I wish I had the world to give you
baby I don't even have the time
To tell you bedtime stories
or to chase away
the monsters from your mind
You know I can only give what I have
I'm sorry I was late today
I didn't get to see you dance the waltz
Spinning around the living room
all dressed up in your mother's clothes
You know I love her even when we fight
When I get home to you
I just want to hold you
and love hearing you calling my name
Here I am… Abigail

words

Words that I've said
scorch the flesh
The voice that I raised
rattles the bones
As I slammed the door
white doves flew away
Thinking what's left behind
is not for me any more
Rushing through some dark streets
heading for the highway
While trying to straighten up
things with myself
Vows have been taken back then
I said I'll stay with you
through better and worse
Many eyes and many ears
witnessed what I said
That's what I said
I must have been mad
My mind carries
my feet away
But my heart
Longs to turn around
to see your face
I've played this role before
I know how it goes
Stories about a woman
and her man
She'll never forget
all the things I said
while both of us watched
the house burn in flames
No water to drown
the heat of the sun
that's burning you down

Reminiscing
04:23
|
|||
I'm not articulate like you
I swear I know how you value
these words
But I cannot make poetry
out of feelings like you do
My mother told me love your
woman no matter what she says
Now I'm holding an empty bottle
in my hand
Drifting on its contents
to bring a message back to you
I can still prove my love to you
when I’m drunk
I recognize this old familiar look
even when sobriety
is blurring my sight
You show up again and ask
your man how will it end
The best is always yet to come
I tell you
And soon it's back to reminiscing
with my liquid friend
I can still prove my love to you
when I’m drunk
I used to have so many reasons
to get better
As time goes by it gets harder
to keep your head above water
If you make the music stop
there'll be no heaven
left for me on earth
|

It's you that I'm seeking
when I dive into your eyes
You don't have to put on a face
or to impress
Forever I'll be there
and I'll walk the way
I'll pray for your love to not go astray
but you wanted so much more than that
I'm a man of action
But I've been defeated by time
You've always been there in my prime
Thanking me for who I was
and what I became
I loved you when we were one
and in the darkest nights
but you wanted so much more than that
Remember the times we used to get high
I saw god in your eyes
It was enough to get by
I tried to hold on and stay the night
but you wanted so much more than that
So You started trembling
and breaking my heart
For what was good then
turned bad later on
but you wanted so much more than that

Until the day I die
03:03
|

It almost seems effortless
how you play with blood
Human mind walked the fields
where the pride did not stride
I ran through the gates
of ammunition land
trying to find the lock
under heavy fire
So I warn you my friend
don't play with guns
You make a fatal mistake
with your morbid solutions
The survival of the earth
would be untouched by my death
If it should follow my lead
why should I care
There are far more yesterdays
than tomorrows up ahead
The beginning of the end
will be starting any minute now
So I warn you my friend
with the morbid solutions
fearful minutes yet to come
In the continent of make believe
war facts play a game
Unborn children wish for birth
but the time is running out
Whistling the war is over
singing - what's the use
of battlefields
Both the winner and the loser
will be sorry at the end
We're all in one boat
losing our mind
Chasing money and time
It might end in a cut throat
setting fire in this life boat
Soon gonna drink
this salty water

Dream Reality
03:19
|

Dance with me and then you'll see
in the desert where we can be free
You know that love is what you see
so it's time you hug me and kiss me
my love
Some firewood will warm you up
a bottle of wine and the talk won't stop
Be sure that I'll be here all night
so it's time you hug me and kiss me
my love
The moonlight shines within your eyes
and your love caresses me
And the stars came down turned into a crown
in this dream reality
Dance with me and then you'll see
it's not about reality
Just a glimpse into a fantasy
on the other side you'll meet me
my love
The morning light shall set us free
from this dream reality
We'll walk the way
on the desert sand
that's where I want you
so bad

The Muses are Departed
04:36

The sun burns your back
right after the rain
crimsons your skin
after softening your bones
They all keep saying
you belong on the moon
second star to the right
take a hot-air balloon
Don't make me laugh
go worship god
Wishing is fishing
for hope and for rain
Your country is sick
It's a waste-land down here
I bought me a little confusion
when I needed bait
I held up my hands
and I prayed
So you're lucky
if you still have your breath
Sweet Mary wants to help
but she's only a mother
and mothers are helpless
when it comes to fate
She's willing to give her
last dime to buy you
A bucket of redemption
and tranquility

Simple Man
04:24
|
|||
If you take off their jewels
they all look like fools
Weighing their diamonds
and gold on the scales
Burning the woods
to build a new skyscraper
building and building
to climb up to the sun
He thinks that he rules
in a kingdom so great
It's a mad orchestra
that he is forced to conduct
He thinks that money
would buy him a way
Out and away, so they say,
any day now
But money is lonely
when you count it alone
You can buy company
Can you buy truth?
You can buy, you can sell
and bargain and trade
You can grow a money tree
and grow weak in its shade
Late at night
on his lonely couch
when he sits down
darkness descends
and in the darkness
with his damn useless crown
He only wants to be
a simple man from town

Dark Sky
04:14
|

They say a true wish
could get you
your heart's desire
if you believe
But when you’re down
your own brain’s messing you up
I’m looking for a clear peace of mind
So that I can see clear
so hard to find
I’m tripping on the dark side
Dirty, dirty I feel so dirty
Dark sky all day
I guess no one is listening
I’m like a straw wheel pushed
by the wind of emptiness
waiting for the end
to strike a chord
I wish I had no more prayers
no more questions
no more wars
no more shivering,
no more famine and hunger
at this time of my life

Talk about god while the white devil
sneaks into your nose
So many promises you have made
to your people
Clearing the way
stepping on your friend's hands
How far do you think
that road is going to take you
You smile when you are asked to
you smile again when you're embarrassed
just another smile for the camera
another page in your sorrow life
never say No because you need to
justify your latest mask
How far do you think
that road is going to take you
You might walk out on things in life
never waiting for responses
You wish to have a new start
but many things are out of grasp
Can't remember all the stops
while your name sounds so grand
Mr. magic bus just keeps on going
Born tired and raised lazy
you've got quite a character
All days suck on manic depression
all nights push your starvation
and all just for a little attention
What you're putting in your nose
makes all your money float
Inside your swamp of egos
king bluff you are crowned

Music
03:17

Music got the best in me
ever since I was a child
now it's showing its ugly face
What can I do?
Music creeps into my dreams
wakes me into sweaty sheets
abandons me when nights die out
What can I do?
So I better use my legs and run
before it's too late to flee
I fear there's no other way
that's what I can do
Babe I want to be with you
but you know there is music too
don't let jealousy allure you
Stop this cat fight

Time

In this present century
Where on earth the need for me
Who am I supposed to be
Heaven set me free
Social pressure social class
Hopes and dreams that change so fast
Whence to men this time will pass
How long will it last
In this time of tribulation
Revelation shows its face
We've got to make a firm decision
To every greed and every race
No more shall we be misguided
No more shall we go astray
For in wrong we all abided
The time has come to pave a better way
In this present century
Where on earth the need for me
Who am I supposed to be
Heaven set me free
Time to seek a new direction
We are heading for a fall
Know what you're giving your attention
And take heed to this my call
Selfishness is not the answer
What we have was meant for all
Give thanks and praises to the master
And always keep your eyes on the ball
In this present century
Where on earth the need for me
Who am I supposed to be
Heaven set me free
Don't hold hatred in your mind
Or else truth you'd never find
Be at peace and understand
The way of life the way of man
What goes around shall come around
We'll shall return where we belong
The tides of time are close at hand
The turning point in the most high plan
