NO LOVE NEED APPLY

Just so you know man

I’m not normally people

I am brutal knowledge

Often carnal minded

I Feel hate take as it please

I won’t be a victim

Makes it’s too hard to breathe

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

The claws are bleeding

I stalk for the capture

Feel the passion rising

Then my hunger sated

See the burn fade out

From their eyes

Try not to act thirsty but

There is no disguise

I’m a hunter 
No love

Need apply

She may be pretty

And have real potential

She is surely wicked

Oh and such a hustler

Yeah they all have what

Needs supplied

Lust is thee addiction

There is no need to lie

I’m a hunter 
No love

Need apply

~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~

I'm simply yearning

Want of equal pleasure

They're an open target

Of my vital wisdom

Tell them when and where

And how and why

State what I am craving

Everything I desire

I’m a hunter 
No love

Need apply

I’m a hunter 
No love

Need apply

Was listening to "Come Together"
by the "Beatles" , and wrote a song
to their tune...Just for fun T*

I'M GOING SOMEWHERE

Hey...

I'm going somewhere

Bags packed, I've got my shades

Yeah...

Nothing to stop me

My dues have all been paid

You...

Could have come with me

If you'd have only stayed

Now...

I'm going somewhere

Y'all get out of my way

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I leave behind a mundane life

That's never fit me well

I was trapped so many years

Could not express myself

Never blind to thee other side

I knew what was out there

I've done my time, said my goodbyes

Now...

I'm going somewhere

~~*~~

Oh... New fires burning

Lighting the path I've drawn

Man...

Exhilarating

This journey that I'm on

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Oh...

Can't you see, a spirit freed

With all that's bound me gone

Can't you feel the energy

That I'm now feeding on

Yeah, all along, in every song

The passion has been there...

Now...

I'm going somewhere

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I leave behind a mundane life

That's never fit me well

I was trapped so many years

Could not express myself

Never blind to thee other side

I knew what was out there

I've done my time, said my goodbyes

Now...

I'm going somewhere

~~*~~

~~*Finale*~~

Today's the day, ya'll come or stay

But don't get in my way

I'll surely burst, with the wander thirst

Breathe new Beginnings air....

I'm going somewhere

~~*~~

THE FIRST TIME

I’ve been fighting the power of feelings
Coursing through this wary body’s veins
I have every right to be this leery
It won’t survive the loss of you again

I had barely built up my resistance
Repaired what you left on the decline
No time for walls, before I got your call
And you drug my heart back
To the first time...

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The first time was Magical

Living just to be with you

Recalling those memories

That I’ve been dancing through

Reviving love, in my mind

So beautiful, I’ve got to try

Imagine…

 It will be just fine

Pretend…

That it’s the first time

~~*~~

I’m trying not to turn, and run away

Waiting for my dream to reappear

Unaware of my surroundings

Nervous heart pounding

Trying to hold back the tears

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

I know that there are trees that bend

That petals fall with the changing winds

But I don’t want to be scared

Searching for the signs

I want the first time…

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The first time was Magical

Living just to be with you

Recalling those memories

That I’ve been dancing through

Reviving love, in my mind

So beautiful, I’ve got to try

Imagine…

 It will be just fine

Pretend…

That it’s the first time

~~*~~

Oh, Life’s so fine….

Better than the first time

NOT A ROBOT

She said
I don’t think farts are funny
Or when men adjust themselves
If you’re going to spit in front of me
Then go find someone else
Don’t smoke, don’t chew, and no F word
Eat with your mouth closed, please don’t burp
Good hygiene is priority, my nose is sensitive
I said “whoa girl, tell me in what world
Is the fantasy you live?”
My mama taught me manners
Respect I can define
And I’ll tell you this, about your list
It’s a waste of my sweet time

~~~*Chorus*~~~

A robot

That’s what you want

Me, I’m flesh and blood

Some of it is doable

But you expect too much

What about a kiss

Not on your list

It’s when two lips must touch

Germs are shared

You can’t be spared

As a robot I would rust

Girl

One thing I’m not

Is a stinking robot

~~*~~

I said

Sometimes farts are funny

And I try to be discrete

I won’t spit in front of you

Unless there’s something in my teeth

I don’t smoke or chew, sometimes I cuss

And I don’t think that I smack too much

I’m sure that it would really hurt

If you always make me hold a burp

And, as a man, I sweat.

It hasn’t killed nobody yet

~~~*Bridge*~~~
A little jolt
Tighten bolt
Too loud
Adjust to whisper
Go forward
Now
Sit down
Do not disturb
Steady whir
Right, left, stop
Good robot!
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
Yeah…
A robot
That’s what you want
Me, I’m flesh and blood
Some of it is doable
But you expect too much
What about a kiss
Not on your list
It’s when two lips must touch
Germs are shared
You can’t be spared
As a robot I would rust
Girl
One thing I’m not
Is a stinking robot

RIGHTEOUS BLOOD

How much more

Can be endured

The violence has to end

I wish that I

Was by your side

While you fight this war my friends

It won’t abate

The senseless hate

We see evil takes its reign

In wait I’ve prayed

All night and day

But the terror comes again

~~~*Chorus*~~~

While the blood of the righteous

Continues to be spilled

By repulsive demons

Thirsting for the kill

I know that you’ll remain there

Fighting to right the wrongs

Know that my heart followed

It’s been there all along

~~*~~

How much fear

Can be survived

Before good souls can’t go on

It’s so unjust

This hateful lust

These demented minds thrive on

I hope they know

That disgust grows

More, with every death they seek

That through our eyes

They’re cowards and swine

And that’s all they’ll ever be

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

No, there is no way inside

When you can’t relate to the wicked mind

With faith and honor you rise up

And you face the devils with your righteous blood

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

While the blood of the righteous

Continues to be spilled

By repulsive demons

Thirsting for the kill

I know that you’ll remain there

Fighting to right the wrongs

Know that my heart followed

It’s been there all along

~~*~~

Pray for peace...

For Brotherhood

Pray for the souls...

Of righteous blood

NOT WORTH A PROMISE

She promised  

Yeah…. She promised  

When she took my name….  

She promised  

Oh, oh, promised 

It would always 

Always be this way 

And I promised

Yeah… I promised 

That I would not change

It is done, and I’m the one…

That kept a promise….

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The edges of her broken promise

Cut too deep this time

At least they severed something

I won’t miss

Don’t feel a thing

She’s not worth a promise

~~*~~

She promised  

Yeah…. She promised  

There would be no games….  

She promised  

Oh, oh, promised 

It would always 

Always be that way 

And I promised

Yeah… I promised 

I would do the same

It is done, and she's the one…

That broke a promise….

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Her oath, her word, her bond, her solemn vow

They mean nothing now

A scorned heart can’t be mended with a kiss

She’s not worth a promise

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

The edges of her broken promise

Cut too deep this time

At least they severed something

I won’t miss

Don’t feel a thing

She’s not worth a promise

~~*~~

No, no , no 

Not worth a promise

MY GEO METRO

She said this can’t be your car man

I won’t be seen in that

You've got to be kidding

I’m taking our date back

Spoken:

Taking our date back?

What do you want to do, walk?

Hey, come on, don’t leave

The least we can do is talk! 

Fine! Walk!

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I’ll be cruising around in my Geo Metro

You may laugh, but it’s good on petrol

Is that your big, new truck, in your driveway…

Man, how much gas does that huge sucker take

When you fill it up, just how far can you go

I love my Geo Metro

~~*~~

She asked me if I was joking

At least this one got in

Said we only have ten minutes

Before the show begins

I laughed cause she was whining

There was no parking place

I whipped my Geo Metro

Into a little space

I didn't ask her out again

She did not appreciate

How awesome my car is 

And now it’s just too late

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I’ll be cruising around in my Geo Metro

You may laugh, but it’s good on petrol

Is that your big, new truck, in your driveway…

Man, how much gas does that huge sucker take

When you fill it up, just how far can you go

I love my Geo Metro

~~*~~

~~~* Finale*~~~

Yeah, it’s not that fast 

But great on gas

I don’t care if its beat up

Go ahead and joke

I’m not going broke

Driving some big truck

When I have a date

I can treat her great

Cause I have cash to spend

Now my only problem is…

Some girls just wont get in 

~~*~~

My Geo Metro !

For Chaz
Love,
Aunt Teresa

I WONDER

I helped my Grandfather
In the wheat fields

During harvest, every year
When I was young

He was everything I wanted to be like

We cleared those dusty fields
From dawn to dusk

He never complained
 I followed suit, and did the same

I desired his pride
In how hard I tried

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Could he see the love

When he looked in my eyes

 

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When life loses its shine

I stop the hands of time

And remember every day that gleamed

When we were tilling up the land

Slapping backs and shaking hands

When a man was what he seemed to be

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Did he know how much he meant to me

~~*~~
I think about those times
We spent together

And all the endless talks
Of future plans

And I wonder if he knew
How much I loved him

Or that he is the reason
That I am

The man I am

Yeah, I wonder…

 

~~~*Chorus*~~~

When life loses its shine

I stop the hands of time

And remember every day that gleamed

When we were tilling up the land

Slapping backs and shaking hands

When a man was what he seemed to be

And I wonder

Yeah I wonder

Did he know how much he meant to me

CHOOSE OUR FATE

I dream of a refuge
It's on an island
Far from animosity
Where we have shelters
Grow big gardens
Have no electricity
A pool of fresh water
Fed by the falls
And fruit trees of every kind
My dream's a reflection
Of the contention
Weighing heavy on my mind

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I'll take a God- given hurricane
A tsunami, any raging storm
Monsoons washing everything away
His disasters in any form
But I reject... the malice of man
The collision of their greed and hate
I'll take everyone I love with me
In my dreams, it's not too late
We get to choose our fate
~~*~~

I dream of a prison
It's in the desert
Far from loving human beings
There’s no escaping
No bleeding hearts
That will set these villains free
The souls who are evil
Are all shoved in there
Forgotten like they should be
A dream born of disgust
Outrage and mistrust
For allies to the enemy

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~
I know our world will never be
The Garden of Eden
There are wars and torture
Righteous screams
Why not contain the demons
When we have the power
To grant what all the gracious dream
It's not too late
Let us choose our fate
~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~
I'll take a God- given hurricane
A tsunami, any raging storm
Monsoons washing everything away
His disasters in any form
But I reject… the malice of man
The collision of their greed and hate
I'll take everyone I love with me
In my dreams, it's not too late
We get to choose our fate

THOU SHALT NOT KILL

Time to decide

A ravaged life that pleads

Thou shalt not kill

Does not panic me

I will not lie

I’ve read every verse

But I'd give my life

To execute the hurt

I shall steal

Abduct her from this earth

Endure your wrath

To deliver her

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I know she is yours

This precious being

I would hold on tight

But the suffering

Is endless

Relentless

Thou shalt not kill

Does not cripple me

My life for hers

Fulfilled>>>
~~*~~

Thou shalt not kill
~~*~~

Time to decide

A ravaged life that pleads

Thou shalt not kill

Does not hinder me

I will not lie

I'll covet what is lost

I fear you Lord

But I must go on

I shall steal

Steal her pain away

Thou shalt not kill

It is a price I’ll pay

~~~*Chorus*~~~

I know she is yours

This precious being

I would hold on tight

But the suffering

Is endless

Relentless

Thou shalt not kill

Does not cripple me

My life for hers

 Fulfilled...

Thou shalt not kill

TOO HIGH

Did I move too fast

Did I try too hard

Was I not enough

Enough to win your heart

I don’t understand

Whatever did I do

To make you build a wall

A wall I can’t pass through

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Too high

Too high to climb

Baby it’s too high

The wall you built

To block this heart of mine

It’s just too high

~~*~~

We could start again

It can’t be too late

Look at what we have

That you would toss away

Make it clear to me

Please tell me what you want

What do I have to do

To make you drop the wall

~~~*Lyrical Bridge*~~~

Should I plead with you

Would it help to cry

I can’t tear it down

I’ve already tried

You’re the one in control...

So tell me 

Tell me what’s my role

I have the right to know

Why...

You built this wall so high

~~*~~

~~~*Chorus*~~~

Too high

Too high to climb

Baby it’s too high

The wall you built

To block this heart of mine

It’s just too high

CHANGE OF TOPIC

Change of topic
What’s acceptable
I don’t like your views
So don’t get comfortable
Well that’s just fine
You don’t agree with mine
I’m not throwing them in your face
You’re the one that’s attacking me
When I am living on His Grace

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

Change of topic

How’s your weather been

Are you healthy

How about your friends

It’s getting hotter

I've been a little sick

There you go again

Change of topic

~~*~~

Change of topic
Why are you so mean
I truly love you
That’s why I let you be
When I want to rage
Try to make you change
To open up your eyes and see
Faith and Love are crucial things
That they are all you’ll ever need

~~~*2nd Chorus*~~~

Change of topic

How’s your Mother been

Is she happy

Has she made new friends

I give you reasons

Wish I could make them stick

You say forget it 

Change of topic

We are bound forever

By family ties

Live with your opinion

And I’ll live with mine

When the Lord comes up

And our hearts collide

I will Pray for you 

To open up your mind

FOREVER ALIVE ...IN ME

There’s a place I go…
When I feel like this
It’s not on a map 
But it does exist
In me…

Where I talk to you
Even though you’re gone
Where I can see you
Memories living on 
In me…

~~~*Chorus*~~~
In me…
You’ll always be alive in me
In me…
I won’t ever say goodbye
I dream…
The laughter is real
I will always feel
You’ll be…
Forever alive in me…
~~*~~

This place where I am
A secret, brilliant void
With no cluttered world
Or intrusive noise
In me…

I just close my eyes
Shut out everything
No one at my door
No telephone that rings
In me… 

~~~*Chorus*~~~
In me…
You’ll always be alive in me
In me…
I won’t ever say goodbye
I dream…
The laughter is real
I will always feel
You’ll be…
Forever alive in me…
~~*~~

When truth comes searching
Seeks a way inside
I simply drift away
A place it cannot find
In me…

~~~*Finale*~~~
I don’t ever say goodbye you see….
You’re forever alive in me…
~~*~~

THE BEST PART

You couldn't scrape up a penny

In the dump that we called home

Our Mother worked two full time jobs

And us kids stayed there alone

She'd finally join us, looking tired

Always bringing scraps to eat

She'd take off her old blue coat

And the worn shoes from her feet

~~~*1st Chorus*~~~

She would smile...

And look at us, like she'd been gone ten years

She say, Oh Lord, I've missed you so

Come and welcome Mommy home

She'd hug us...

Ask, do you hear my heart

And we would laugh

That was the best part

~~*~~

There was not a cross word spoken

With nothing to fight about

Checked out books from the library

We took turns reading aloud

Yeah, we all braced ourselves for school

We knew well that we'd be teased

But we were three, against them all

And there was free lunch to eat

~~~*Chorus*~~~

And a smile...

She'd look at us, like we'd been gone ten years

She'd say, Oh Lord, I've missed you so

Come here for your welcome  home

She'd hug us...

Ask, do you hear my heart

And we would laugh

That was the best part

~~*~~

~~~*Finale*~~~

I remember my childhood

Whenever things get hard

And, I smile...

Cause that was the best part

~~*~~
