Conscious all day
Cautious in my own way Coincidence seems oh so Strange and my actions Are estranged Unconscious but still awake Things that are by chance Seem to always break "I Mever knew I could map Out my life Destined to live each and Every day Aware of what will come Deep down inside I do have All the answers My misfortune My burden in life Is to know what will come Nothing comes undone Predict and prevail That's me...." A skilled mechanic The artificer of destiny An inner panic of knowing What will become of me Predict the Future and my Eyes the only ones to see A heavy burden of endless Possibilities Misled by god, endowed Immense Qualities Imprints of guilt, A repenting Soul inside of me My own misfortune A lack of capability A great success Or a minor Probability A wound that will never Leave a scar A pain that won't go away You still don't know who You really are Wise words gone astray... Every choice, every thought, Every step, stumbling in my Own feet Every word, every sentence, Every line, everyone comes Undone 03. Namaste
Carelessness at war
You follow your own orders With no regards You trespass all borders You grind whatever flesh The War-Mill requires As you take off your mask My sympathy expires. Salutations! I greet you, I plead to you My Nation! Now I bow to you Our Religion! Deny it or succumb to it One decision! It's always up to you We witness the stronghold Of double standards With the whole world in The front row seats Tune in to your favorite Channel and watch the Ultimate defeat When we are in that place We are one Namaste Bow before me brothers Show your respect Then create devastation In the name of peace Here I stand before you I'll bleed for you And die for you Namaste Bow before me brothers Show your respect Then create devastation In the name of peace Show me your strength And together we die Forever we will live 04. Game Of Life
If we could sense each other
In the presence of another Just for one day Would it make a difference anyway If I knew what you were thinkin' I wouldn't bother wasting my time I'd spend my day being out of harms way There's no success without will What you gain ain't free in life It isn't where you come from, It's where you're going that counts You get back into the saddle again Ride alongside lifes rain And walk out as the winner When you own the game Would you live with it or let it go Will you remember it all With only one goal When time catches up with you Then I'll know what you'll do? You'll keep living a lie don't you know? Now place your bets on this game And never let the scornful doubts Of disbelievers Have your spirit put to shame You know what you have found So close your eyes for the second round Live it or let it go Remember it all, if only one goal Then time catches up with you And there is no more to do In the life that was you 05. Reach Within
Don't live a life caught in shadows
Our eyes will miss out on what's here For us That colors our minds with intensions That leads us to choose and take the Path less traveled by Just reach within and shed your skin Don't be afraid if it leaves a scar Sometimes it might take you far Stand your ground It's time to face your fears Now become the one You've locked away For years Looking back you've always found A reason For the easy way out Your life in a reflection There comes a time when we need The answers There comes a time when we're All alone Although we're bound to this together You'll have to walk the path alone I never told you that it would be easy I never told you I would be around To save you from yourself Now you see all the whys It's time you make your own decisions And let me go There comes a time when we need The answers There comes a time when we're All alone Although we're bound to this together You'll have to walk the path alone I never told you that it would be easy And now you see all the whys It's time you make your own decisions And let me go 06. I Am
I'm searching for a place to land
You have my life unguarded Like the deserts miss the rain I feel the pain I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded Can't wait for you to understand It's just who I am... Reaching deep, and if I can The I will know... Underneath my skin it will show Although I've have been wounded I know that time will heal The scars we bear And that we'll make them our own I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded Can't wait for you to understand I need to know... Who I am... Reaching deep, and if I can Then I will know... The stream of life will flow With judging eyes Who'll pass the test Unlike before, distinct from the rest I'm touching down on naked ground Then walk away without a sound I'll try my best to realize All too often I've tried to change Destination known like the back Of my hand And still with every time when it slipped Out of range The trace it left remained unchanged A fragile trust... in faith I lust I reach to you my weary hand A petty man so blinded I can't wait for you to understand I need to know... 07. Used
I never thought I'd live to know
This feeling A stream of emotions flowing Through me I Used to think that I would learn How to forget Please help me through The days without regrets Define or defeat you Me and I about to collide I used to hope for a miracle Decide and fend for me Like all hope was lost So I'll get used to the pain of being used Everything felt and looked transparent I'm starving from the lack of myself I'm suffering around my own well being Please someone help me through And take away the pain I used to think that this was as good as it could get... being used Define myself It feels like I'm going nowhere I used to hope for a miracle Decide for myself It seemed like all hope was lost So I got used to the pain Of being used 08. The One
I try to be what you wanted me to be
But sometimes it ain't easy ... Being me Don't ask me where I'm going Who I'm with and what we did Your blinding third degree Interrogations Is pulling me down Don't need a rainy day I can hear the people screamin' Everybody calls my name Every now and then I feel like I am drowning You go down on your knees Just because you wanna make me Forget how it really feels You blame it all on me One after another Listen "My Friend" I am not the Only one I tried to be what you wanted Me to be You thought my life was easy You could not foresee I'm not your leaf clover That you carry around I'm not a wheel of fortune I'm not your lucky charm I'm painted on your wall You want me in the family tree I can hear the people screamin' Everybody wants to see Every now and then You'd see me drowning How do we choose right from wrong When we don't know which battles We should end Who do we trust when the need of a Friend is what matters the most Does it make it right to invade Our lives And breach down the fences around us You saved the trees, the polluted seas Still you won't be the one... The one they'll remember 09. Burn After Reading
When did it come to this
These drained emotions I feel guilty for not being inspired I can see you reaching out to me But I leave you floating After I am free of you I should be missing what we had In loving memory To whom do I turn for a new beginning All alone do I trust with this task Of solace In loving memory I have lost the power to feel Turned to stone My heart blackened I should have seen what was good Not been so easily blinded All that glitters isn't gold Every shimmering rock I've collected kept weighing me down Pulling me to the ground All that I have left of us is a memory A picture of you and me Have I forsaken my destiny I have lost the power to feel Turned to stone My heart is bleeding I should have seen what was good Not been so easily blinded All that glitters isn't gold 10. Last Goodbye
It all came down the other day
I was waiting for the call Hoping they would say "Everything is gonna be all right" And you would come home tonight I've been having bad dreams since the Day the "news" arrived Been living in hope and facing the fear Of losing you and have my life deprived I can see the pain in your eyes And the hell your going through And if I could I would sacrifice And give my life for you No here we are at the end of our road It's time to say our goodbyes Last breath of life, with a silent cry I remember the walks we had The nights we never slept I remember the time when you turned and said to me I will always love you I will never let you go In my heart that's where you follow Now it's time for you to know There were times my heart was aching There were times I thought I'd make it On my own... This is my last goodbye I see the cloudless skies Inside my soul it cries Some say it's like autumn breeze Some say it's just a game we play I believe it will go away But until that day I would be here in my own misery Misery When you went away that day The world came down on me We've been best of friends forever And now it is time to let you go Your spirit carries on as my Life continues on alone I see the cloudless skies Inside my soul it cries The scent makes me remember you |
