Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really —-is no certainty 
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
 poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

Let’s Pool our talents together ——and move forward in a big way 
the difference between giant steps and ———-Child’s play 
night and day —-the price we pay 
it’s gotta be—-what the people want —-not what the politicians says
—-I’m not a biblical man—-a man of principle—-I am
I believe in good and evil —and that energy is divine 
Is it a chance or a miracle ——of being who I am ———
who’ll guide and protect you
Too many gods to kneel to ——
So many beliefs to cling to——what’s true?
who do you have to save you 
Is the miracle within you —-clever but ————truth——-ful 
God work is never done —-we’re never in ———-ne——utral 
These are life’s lesson————enter the teacher ———exit the pupil 

take my blessings when I can———-my lessons——- from who I am 
This divine spark of energy ———is it chaos——or life‘s plan 
Is faith—the path ——or journey—-taken by anyone who can
no good or evil theory just the fact that I am is all I need to guide me
————no spoken word or prophecy 
The challenge ——just to stay free—- victory over enemies 
The past is all history—wars—-brutality—- blasphemy 
the suffering —-the agony—-the cruelty—-the tragedy

Chorus

I don’t need no jealousy —-no secrecy no bigotry 
life is still an odyssey—-a parody —-pure irony 
what will be my legacy—-humility and harmony 
history leaves a path to see—-land currency and slavery 
leaders with no decency—-no empathy not trustworthy 
life is never duty free —-there really is no certainty 
Is voters rights reality —-or just another fantasy
 poverty’s the enemy ——revise the current policy

By The Numbers

Tears bring awareness to
What's going on in this
World filled with sadness that's 
Lacking inspiration
Fill this
Void with the light that I see
Shining 
Through from the Otherworld
Take it all in 
Can you feel it
Moving you
Moving you
What a 
Horrible beauty we 
Live with 
Confounding mystery
Is this
A dream or reality
What's the difference...

Otherworld

Lyrics:

I go to a movie and all I see is you
I move to an island cause all I want is you

The lonely hours keep bringing me back to you
I'll keep bringing you flowers cause the colors remind me of you

I see crystal waters that only wave to you
A new sensation how can this be true?

The lonely hours keep bringing me back to you
I'll keep bringing you flowers cause the colors remind me of you

I'll keep, I'll keep holding, holding you near.....

The Lonely Hours

I see it now here in front of me 
Dead birds in  a burning  tree 
Where is the life ?
Where are the laughts ?
Is it to late to dream another day  

Children die in poor makeshift boats
In a sad sea where the shreds of hope float
Where is the life
Where are the laughts
Is it to late to dream a better day  

refrain : Oh nights
I can't see the light
Oh days 
Ican't fight  the blight
Evil and hell  are in closed eyes
We can’t  stop the sun dimise
Prayers and spells lost in noises 
Nothing can stop, nothing can stop  the dark tide rise


Blood and tears dry in the heat of the desert
Fear and hate rot in the depths of hearts
Where is the life
Where are the laughts
Is it to late to dream another day  

Neither skin nor breath resists the blind fire
Of the souls  remains only a dull ire
Where is the life
Where are the  laughts
Is it to late to dream a better  day

Dream A Better Day ?

From the forthcoming EP: Thanks For The Memories

I need a little time
For anger to subside, my love
To get back on my feet

You hurt me more than she
I never thought it possible
You hurt me more than she

Thanks for the memories
She said thank you for the memories

Who are you these days?
I can't ask you to wait for me
You hid yourself away

And dropped a bomb on us
And tarnished all my memories
You kept it all from me

Thanks for the memories
She said thank you for the memories

Are we saying goodbye?
Goodbye, my love?

Maybe I'll meet you somewhere out there
Like strangers passing in the night
Maybe we'll catch each others eye
And if it feels all right
Maybe?

If it feels right
Then maybe?

If it feels right
It could last all night


Thank you to Z for additional drums.

Thanks For The Memories

Don't say you loved me or that you wanted me now
Because I can't tell if you're heaven or hell
I can't even tell
Another lost girl who really really wants
What she can't have, that doesn't belong
It's not for trying
You built a fantasy and a pedestal for him
And a catastrophe just waiting to happen for me

Hold on, it's just a matter of time boy
You've been here before
Get your shit together
You've been here before
One step after another
You deserve more

You never really knew the object of desire
Because if you did, I knew you'd have tired
Of his way
Sex and secrets and such duplicity
Submission to chasing a destiny
That never came

Hold on, it's just a matter of time boy
You've been here before
Get your shit together
You've been down that road
And it's a road to nowhere
You deserve more


Thank you to Z for the drums!

your door is open

pills and letters
your mind is scattered on the floor.
i'm shocked to the core.

blue light flashing
my heart's racing
your getaway car's too slow
i can't let you go

(no, no no no no)

it's taking too long

22 minutes

there's every chance that you'll drown

ooh ooh...

and you...
what would you do for love?
would you cry for me?

you'd do exactly the same
if the tables were turned...
