A Little Christmas Cheer

It's that time of year again.
And the snow is all around
The year is almost at it's end.
This season's so profound.

Everything is about material.
It really is sad.
The damage is collateral.
Good times other's could've had.

Just give someone a little smile
It's worth all the while.
Just spread all your cheer
It'll make their whole year.

Ask yourself if you,
would do something good
To put back your neighbor
into neighborhood.

So how would you feel?
If you couldn't share
Your good times with others
Because no one would care.

Just give someone a little smile.
It's worth all the while.
Just give your good cheer.
It'll make their whole year.

At first you may be ill
If you don't give to many
Some good hearted will
To those who haven't any.

This Christmas you'll learn
To fly like a dove
You feel your heart burn
Well that is called love.

Just give everyone a smile
It's worth all the while.
Spread your Christmas cheer
It makes everyone's year!

It only takes a little Christmas cheer.
To make anybody's year.

You have nothing to fear
Just spread Christmas cheer.

Just spread a little Christmas cheer.

A little Christmas cheer.

Losing Purpose

I like to hear her voice
I love her so much
But, you know
It's not really my choice.

My heart has
A mind of its own
Something's inside
That has yet to be shown.

I've lost all sense of responsibility
She is the only thing that is constantly
Pushing me onward
making me stronger.

Now please don't fret
I'm just talkin like Bret
Cause even if we're apart
She'll never break my heart.

Can't break my heart,
It's liquid
It melted when I met you.

In Reply To Your Death

Would I give it all up for you?
You asked if that's what I would do.
Compared to you everything is worthless
A glimpse of your smile is priceless.

To break a promise, give you a hug
Or just stand there and give a shrug
Hold your hand, give you a kiss
Or your fading I would just dismiss?

Lay with you on the bed here?
While I whispered sweet in your ear?
Or just let you be in pain
Would I still be sane?

At your funeral, would I sing there?
If you died would I even care?

I would be praying to the lord
Your death isn't something my small heart can afford
I wouldn't fast for a week
I would forever more cry
I would fast forever
until I die

If somehow you did survive
Would I help you to revive?
Helping you to learn to live life?
Always on the edge like a sharp knife?

Would I do that?
Could I do that?
No.

Because the thought of losing you
It kills me.

You and Me

Look into the future
and I see nothing good
I don't even want to try
because I'm not in the mood.

Eventually you will let go
because things'll get bad
It's just a little something
but too much you'll have had.

I know it's not right
I know its something wrong
The only thing that I can do
Is to put it into song

You have to promise me that you will let loose
And I promise you I will let go my brain juice
I know it don't sound easy
but when you get down to it
It's only you and me.

You can live without me
but I can't live without you
We are stuck together
though we don't know what to do

And I'm always getting into
some kind of crazy crime
And you always bite into
Some kind of rotten lime.

You have to promise me that you will let loose
And I will promise you that I will let go my brain juice
I know it don't sound easy
But when you get down to it
It's only you and me.

Only you and me.

South of Nowhere

Sitting here for an hour and a half
Trying to think of a reason to cry
My life like a piece of toast
Burned up and way too dry.

Moving, depressingly
Through each darkening day
Knowledge is all that matters to them
Imagination is held at bay

Where
Oh where am I going with all of this?
I'll tell you where I'm going
and it's a little place I like to call south of nowhere.
If you need me, I will be there.
South of Nowhere.

Well my brain's kinda itchy
Everything's a little mixed
October's getting witchy
And I want things fixed

I'm in the public and I put on this face
For anyone else, it'd be a disgrace
It's because I'm the right guy
But no one seems to know that yet.

I'm just a mustard seed
Small and easy
I know it sounds cheesy
But I will be giant, you can bet.

Where
Oh where am I going with all of this?
Well I'll tell you where I'm going
And it's a little place I like to call the south of nowhere
If you need me, I will be there
It's called the south of nowhere.

So I'm at the border
Its where I was sent
end up finding the drugs
in my glove compartment

I know
It wasn't the plan
Now there's a ban
Never to return again
Sorry my good friend
Please will you lend
Me a good hand
Get me out of the land
Called self-destruction
Promise not to do it again

Where
Oh where am I going with all of this?
Well I will tell you where I'm going
And it's called the south of nowhere
If you want me I will be there
The south of nowhere

The Lonely Clown

I've always heard
That you only fail
When you've stopped trying

Well, that isn't true
I find failure is when
You're always dissapointing,

Someone.

Well I've tried so many times
And I can't seem to get past
All my troubles
Because my plans are not pre-assessed
Someone looks down at me like I'm,

No one.

Potential is clear
Success is so near
But I cannot hear
What is being said

To me.

Am I dragging you down?
When I am around?
I noticed you found-
Popularity so profound
I look like a clown
But get down to it and I'm just

Alone.
So alone.

I look for a new sound
But I just hit the ground
I want to stay down
I just want to frown
But then I

See you.

And I try a little longer.

Behind the Rusted Fence

Caught up in a tornado
Tryin to please everybody
Including them and you.

I'm ten pages behind
Something I can't seem to find
Because I don't know what to do.

Or maybe I know
But I'm pretty sure
That I've only lost the motive.

In a working space
A very tight place
I only want to be creative.

"It's for my own good"
I find that crude
To me that doesn't make sense.

In a prison, I wanna break out
To scream and shout
But I'm stuck behind the fence.

I'm walking in slow-mo
But everyone is walkin fast.

I'm in a depression
That I can't just seem to get past.

Give me a pencil
Give me a pen
Give me a microphone.

I get around
When I feel down
But please just leave me alone.

Give me a pencil
Give me pen
Give me a microphone.

Give me time
And I'll think of a rhyme
For an act that'll never be shown.

For an act that'll never

Be

Shown

I Roll Up My Sleeves

Here I stand
Doin the best I can
To cheer you up
To pull you up and...

I'm lovin you with all my heart
Things arent as good when you have to restart,

But hey wasn't it fun?
Wasn't it fun?
There ain't no way
To tell when you're done.

Laughing at all your quirks
I can't believe we got this to work
We've both been broken
But something's begun the repair and...

I find myself loving you with all my heart
Things'll never be as good when you have to restart,

But hey isn't it fun?
Isn't it fun?
There ain't no way
To tell when we're done.

I roll up my sleeves
Ready to play
Just seein your smile
Brightens up my darkest of day and you know that...

I always findin myself loving you with all my heart
Things are so different now that we had to restart,

But hey isn't this grand?
Goin hand in hand
Hey, isn't this fun?
When I'm with you there ain't no way
To know when the night has begun.

Are They Only Mumbles?

Laying here in darkness

Confused about what you want

I sat there thinking about you

My memories are in format of haunt.



But now here you are

Your words are in my face

They are only mumbles

Do I sense a little bit of disgrace?



You say you're sorry

I can't say anything

Choked up with my tears

For you I have forgiveness

For three billion and one years.

This Is The Way It Really Goes

She loves me, she loves me not
I can't tell, she hides a lot.


Feeling cold and want to die
Crouched in a corner and start to cry.


The times I mostly think about you
is when you're not around
A life without love
tell me how do you think that sounds?


Why do I even try
when all there is is disappointment?
Love slips out my hands
just like an elusive ointment.


Many friends are gone
So many now are dead
No one's getting along
because the silent fight we had.


Better to have never loved
Than to love and have lost it.
That is the way it really goes
You see how much this love has costed?

Forever and one Day

You say the stress is killing you

I say I'm already dead

You say that you have to leave

Well, I say just go ahead.


I say what's up and how's it goin

You say the pressure's high

I say really, oh why is that

You say that you wanna die


I never took my eyes off of you

Yet you wanted us apart

You didn't know that when you left me

You stabbed me in the heart


You say you're sorry

And that separation was pretty lame

I say that I forgive you

But things'll never be the same


I try to forget the ugly past

But my mind gives in its way

I will remember every painful moment

For forever and one day

Silence of Forbidden Love

The ba-bumps of my heart stop as I see her
Pace of Ba-bumps then go double speed
I get cold sweat as she comes nearer
Warmth of her motions plant within a seed.

I search my mind like a dictionary
Searching, yes searching all the right things to say
Nothing can come out my mouth
It’d ruin moment of colorful day

The seed begins to grow, making me awfully sick
When away I want her
When close I can’t have her
Sit out each day hoping faster the seconds will tick.

Those ba-bumps are unsteady, I’m told that I am in love
Ba-bumps they go slower
Ba-bumps they go faster
She is a gift from above.

Everyone's giving us constant shove
This isn't love of a puppy
And she ain't no dog
But nothing can happen between us
For this is forbidden love

With constant shoves
to forward forbidden love
as my gift from above
the one which I love
counts the seconds that tick
making me awfully sick
with the things I can’t say
due to colorful day
her planted seed
ba-bumps my heart double speed

Until the door of love is unlocked
With my patient key
I will be loving her
Loving her
silently

Suicide, Running Through The Brain

Suicide running through the brain
Played me like a perverted game
You look at me, face not the same
Don't know if I'm goin insane

Don't know it

Wasn't meant to last, that is a shame
Lucky where our compassion sprang
Those lovely notes that you sang
Is the reason that I came

But now it

Is time, that we finally move along
Because the love we had is gone
Uncomfortable has reached the dawn
Put my life in an untuned song.

And here we

Are. Keeping eye contact away
So, do you have something to say?
No, didn't think so anyway
How did we even get this way?

Could it have

Been, something that I might've said?
While we were talking late in bed?
You know how many tears I shed?
I put the gun up to my head.

Thoughts of

Suicide running through the brain
The scar you left is still the same
So hurt that you don't know my name
I'll never love someone again.

Unbuckled

Seatbelt unbuckled,
lips stained red.

Not of your lipstick,
Tis the slurped up freeze.

It is like your heart,
cold.
