May not be all that much

 

A face can only excist

with eyes that can  live and see inside

the thoughts they hide, the fear that's there

and the love it wants to share

the coldness it casts in despair

it may not be all that much

but it is all what they've got

yet eyes can be tamed, eyes can even destruct and maime

eyes can turn insane if jealousy is the name

eyes can scream wild for what they want and didn't get

and yess the eyes, they can be bad

it might not be all that much, but the eyes can make it a lot

eyes... are the face, they express anger and laughter

sadness and badness, almost any thing at will

love for life, the pain and the fear inside

its all in the eyes, it may not be all that much

but it is all what they've got

The remains of the day

tired of the day to sleep I me lay
I take with me the remains of the day
some nice some sad dreams aren't that
bad

things linger on, bring on a restless night
broken moonlight invades my dreams givin'
me an unease

yet most of the time I'm allright, a first ray
of sunlight, up an' about, cryin' out loud ready
for a new day

it will make me sing, the remains of that day
I'll take with me when to sleep I me lay
