When will I see you again

Written and Composed by Kirby howarth

The Trouble with Bullies

The trouble with bullies
Their born without heart
They ain't got no backbone
From the moment they start on you
Start on Me

They've no understanding
Of caring and kindness
They talk with their fists
In these moments of blindness
Blind me
Cause I don't want to see you anymore
No I don't want to see you anymore

The trouble with bullies
They make you feel small
They find out your weakness
When your backs to the wall
Find mine

They bully with words
They bully with knifes
They bully with guns
They try so hard to hide
Well I won't hide
Cause I don't want to hide anymore
No I don't want to hide anymore
We should never hide anymore
No we should never ever hide

Just Another Place


Just a little truth
Just a little reason
Just a little lie
That sent me to prison

Just a little heart
Just a little soul
Just a human being
That I didn't know

Just another time
Just another place
I thought you were my friend
But now I see your face
