The Day That Never Came

Everything’s a piece of everyone.
You’ve got to see it through their own eyes.
You may die unflowered
But I hope your weren’t unloved.
Is she surprised about being a poet?
Or did she really even know it?
The Day has left you tired and weary.
But now you’re standing there with teary eyes
You’re cryin’
For the day that never came.
For the day that never came.
For the day that never came.
You’re cryin’
Why are the lonely people so angry?
Why can’t we all just get along?
What’s the point of fighting?
Or do you just want to be loved?
I can say I’m sorry as many times as you like
But it won’t change a thing.
You’re still in the backyard cryin’.
Cryin’ for the day that never came.
The war was hard on both of us.
I’m sorry that I died.
Tell my son I love him
And tell him not to cry
...Like I am.
I’m cryin’
For the day that never came
For the day that never came
For the day that never came
I’m cryin’
I’m cryin’
I’m cryin’
I’m cryin’

Those Memories
03:38
|

|
When we were kids, the jingle would go like this.
What happened to the memories we had a long long time ago?
I remember when we were, so in love.
But now you’ve left me and I have no heart to speak of.
Today has been a hard day.
And these days they don’t get any easier.
And I think I’m alright with that.
Life
Rolls
On
I bet you’re probably smiling while I am crying.
But babe see that I’m not sad because you left me.
Please realize that thing kills me inside.
It hurts me to see you with another guy, worse than me.
Today has been a hard day.
And these days they don’t get any easier.
And I think I’m alright with that.
Life
Rolls
On and on and on
And on again!

Deathly Bound
02:33

Can you ever, endure the pain?
Will you ever, smile again?
There’s rust in your bones
And your garden, hasn’t grown.
Find my faults, find my mistakes.
For my freedom, you will take.
Beat me to the ground!
Until my soul, is deathly bound.
Take my weapons, take my land.
But you’ll never, take away my inner man!
Blind my eyesight, bind my hands.
Just don’t take these morals, on which I stand!
And my hands, will give up their hold,
And my eyes, will give up their soul,
And your ears, will hear me cry,
And I will scream!
Let me die!!

Speak To Me
04:41

The Morning lights, overwhelm me.
The Starry night, make me feel so free.
Moon, I wonder if you can see me, staring up at you.
World I wonder if you can hear me.
World I wonder if you understand me or feel my fears.
I just want a point, and a push in the right direction.
And I pray that things blow over through time and tears.
Give, the world back to it’s people.
The dust is worn well.
World I wonder if you can help me.
World I wonder if you can hold me or carry me through the years.
There’s those days were you feel like you can’t stand up straight
And I know that today is one of those days.
The Moon is smiling down on you, but the world feels everyone’s pain.
World I wonder if you can!
Eliminate my fellow man and set yourself free.
World I wonder if you can...
Eliminate my fellow man and set yourself free.
You’re just a stone in the field.
You’re just a stone in the field of stars.
You’re just a stone in the field of stars above my head.

Emails And Instruments
04:14

It’s funny how these little boys and girls are thinking
That kissing is like dreaming away.
It’s funny how all us grown men and women
Never find our time to play.
Oooahoooh x2
You and me right down to our atoms have split, have split.
We’re two depressing eels, on our own.
So give the stars a second glance.
And give this man a second chance.
Oooahoooh x2
Emails and Instruments!
Are all that I need now.
I want to hold you one last time.
But I’m not quite sure how.
I’ll cut my hair and shave my face.
I’ll shine my shoes and stand up straight.
I’ll smile for you, on the outside.
But my heart will carry a heavy sigh.
And I'm free!
But I don't wanna be!
I'm alone....
Emails and Instruments!
Are all that I need now!
I want to hold you one last time!
But I’m not quite sure how!

Eying Affairs

Look at my face, and look at my scars.
And see how deeply, they run through my heart.
Count the stars above your head.
And maybe your eyes will open then.
You’ll catch a glimpse, of the reality you thought you once knew.
What do you see inside the shell?
Ooohh....
What do you see in my eyes?
A hopeless soul?
You’re swimming the wrong way up stream.
Don’t you think you’re chasing the wrong dreams?
Don’t question, just live on.
Don’t just love the life you’ve lost now that it’s gone.

More Like A Friend Song
05:58
|

What if I came to you?
(I said) Please don’t cry because I think I love you.
With all these friend that pass me by.
I often wonder who’s by your side.
All the beaches look the same.
And it’s strange, because I don’t know your name.
So just stand there, firm upon your land.
And let her take away your damned.
More like a friend, less of a lover, and your too far away!
I think I'm afraid, running from day light, but I can't remember why!
The water runs thin, I have no protection, there's a whole in my heart!
I need more love from you!
I need more love from you....
Your hair was radiant in the undead sun.
It trailed like fire.
My moon longed to see you in the night sky.
And my heart did desire for you.
This is a song about a song I never wrote to you.
We never did meet one another just so you know.
This isn’t another love song.
I have grown old waiting for her!!
And I may never see her dance again!!
The rain blocks my sight!!
But I can’t quite! (But I can't quite!)
Contain, your love....

Remember Whom You Were
04:40

|
I’m not ready, for this sleep to take me.
Don’t let my dreams, get lost in this darkness.
Your emotions, sway like the rustle of the trees.
Deny my heart, to blow away in this breeze.
There’s a part of me that’s sad, but I know it isn’t over.
I don’t feel any different.
Take dominance, for what you owe her.
And remember, remember whom you were.
Stars! Light up your life but it kills me.
Mixes your blood with my tears.
You reap my soul when you leave me.
And leave nothing but my years.
Things are never over, but the earth tells me different.
Liars sing of love, but they do not know of it.
Set your home on fire boy, what have you to lose?
Burn those dead eyes, and scream at the moon!
Hold your hand from hatred.
And extend it to me with acceptance.
Yes there are deeds which I have done wrong.
Please forgive me, I am young.
I am young!!
I am young!!
I am young!!
I am young!!

Before The Voice
06:14
|
|||
|
Linger on in darkness and in doubt.
Dwell upon your sorrows you’re just another wash out.
Oh I want my fears to rot away; I need a warm place to stay.
The winter has long gone, but you must keep moving on.
I will not let you break my aspiration.
For this burden I bear with grief.
My companions they share the load.
But in origin it is my own.
My sun dried hands, are crumbling to dust!
Before the voice, there was no distrust!
You tore me open and spilt my insides!
You robbed me of my life and left me to the ocean tide!
Memoirs pass as I lay here.
The future whistles in my ear.
Look at the men on mars.
The journey shall be dampened in your years.
Where is who you where?
When was what you knew?
Bring it back here, I can’t perceive change, my mind is overdue.
This water bleeds, into my chest!
Why does it hurt me, to see you flee unto the west?
Claim your next victim, capture his soul!
But be aware my dear that your heart is made of charcoal!
