So much more

when my heart's torn to pieces 

and its pain reaches its outer limits

I know I will always survive, no matter what

even death will have no pleasure taking me

as pain is a dish served well cold, as it was to me

I finished it, untill again I was complete

so when my heart was torn apart

and its pain reached its outer limits

I knew I would survibe, I always do

no matter what, I always do

and every time I do, I learn so much more

than I thought I ever knew

as pain is a dish served well cold, as it was to me

and I finished it, untill again I was complete.

Sometimes

I was there, I wasn't there

I should have been there

I lost it to a cause

sometimes,...

there's a reason, I was the reason

I did what I did, as well as I could

I wasn't there

I should have been there

I lost it to a cause

sometimes,...

there's a reason, I was the reason

I did what i did, as well as I could

Sometimes.....................................

a bullet is your best friend

'No More '

when the morning comes down on me

and takes me into her arms of totall peace

I wait, 'till my heart's ready to rise into

the calm of a new day that has arrived

as yesterday's closing door shocked it

to its core, it was lost, a love was lost

in disbelieve, to a whispered 

'No More'

Another day in paradise

she was sweet, she was gentle, she was kind

sometime ago, a raging fire, a source of love

another day in paradise

good things grow, but never last

in the dusty sands of love

there was a change, our love grew lazy

things started to fade, love was an escape

she was sweet, she was gentle, , she was kind

she was all that, sometimes a raging fire

a source of love

we were just another day in paradise

Sweet, gentle, quiet smile

I met her somewhere with her sweet gentle quiet smile

when I saw her, something shifted inside, I fell in love

with someone whom I knew, would never be by my side

so,...when I left, I said goodbye to that sweet, gentle, quiet smile

promising myself, I would never reveal to her what lived inside

now,...many years later, I thought that sweet gentle quiet smile

would have faded out of my heart and my life, still how hard

I tried, she never left, she's still with me, until,... I guess, the end

of my times.

'Dear God'

He came down the escalator of life

looked around and saw the wonders of the world

and the miracles that didn't happen

he saw the heavy faces 

and the ones that shone eternal light

walking back,... he saw the sweet souls 

that took off before,...being born,... reaching heaven

he was shattered and he whispered

'Dear God ' ,... they,...Earth will not survive

She makes me smile

so I tell her, when I do fall in love, 

will it be for the better

will it let my breath whisper 

and blow into your heavens

will it let my soul find your spirit 

where it is waiting

will my whisper 

break into your heavens

let me know when it does

and she looks at me 

with those lazy dreamy eyes

her mouth half open 

inviting me and she sighs

you're my man

you rock my heavens in desire 

you're my peace when I'm on fire

still looking at me 

with those lazy dreamy eyes, 

what can I say she makes me smile
