brick on brick
stone on stone
the more I build
the closer I get to home

piece by piece 
one by one
i feel the light of the moon
and the heat of the sun

BR: 
love blows out the darkness
that is fueled by hate
but the vilest of revenge
has me walking away

CH; 
what's your mantra? 
what's your mantra?
what do you live by
what do you stand on
what's your mantra?

working so hard
to live this life
and feel the hope inside the days

step by step
dream on dream
always looking for a better way it seems

got pushed across my very last nerve
got up from where i laid down
i reached into my soul, took back my world
and a different view showed me how

gone rogue, gone rogue
gone wild and outta control
gone rogue, gone rogue
don't think you can save me now
tame me now

mischief dancing on a stage
when you thought that it was hidden
holding my heart in calloused hands
feeling pleasure in the forbidden

gone rogue, gone rogue
gone wild and outta control
gone rogue, gone rogue
don't think you can save me now
tame me now

got no time for a broken heart
broken hearts do not live in the strong
i won't let you break my heart
i can't do a thing about what you want

gone rogue, gone rogue
gone wild and outta control
gone rogue, gone rogue
don't think you can save me now
tame me now

gone rogue, gone rogue

desolation
what was, and never more to be
contemplation of devastation
to pull the mountain down on me

CH 
cruelty, you meditate
thinking long and hard
how to make my heart break
cruelty, you meditate
and now you say
it's just a big mistake

speculation
of how to turn my eyes
you sell your soul
for damage control
as out of the ashes
you see me rise

CH 
cruelty, you meditate
thinking long and hard
how to make my heart break
cruelty, you meditate
and now you say
it's just a big mistake

you give me your hand
to lift me up
to set me on fire again
but i'm walking away
i shake the dust off my feet
you need to do the same

Premeditated Cruelty

Just a quick new tune so far and definitely a work in progress. Justa few hours in on a little mix of pop with a hip hopish kinda feel. 

PINK LIPSTICK
war and hate won't go away
the meaning of life never pays
but heads all turn to look my way
when i paint the day
with Pink Lipstick

CH: Pink Lipstick, Pink Lipstick
Sweaty skin and dewy lips
Painted with
Pink LIpstick

i call you with my eyes
come feel my skin
while I go down like a sinking ship
sanctity will never swim
and trust is covered in
Pink Lipstick

CH;

so touch my lips with your fingertips
kiss me like it's your last kiss
love the rush, floating bliss
drown yourself in 
Pink Lipstick

Can I keep my head above the water?
Can I keep my head above the water?
I'm calling you, calling you

Java (Home Demo)

Something different.

The grains of sand 
beneath my feet
Far too many 
to conceive
The numbers  
just like clustered stars
Or water droplets  
in the sea

All the little things
Not so little after all
All the little things
Together 

Each tiny hair 
upon your head
All the things 
we did and said
Joined together
holding hands
much like tiny 
grains of sand

Beaches laying mile on mile
The flicker of a little smile
Lips touch my face, 
here and gone
love like music, 
Your kisses like a song

oh All the little things
Not so little after all
Baby steps will take you everywhere 
baby steps, m baby steps will take you anywhere


Beaches laying mile on mile
The flicker of a little smile
love like music, 
Your voice like a song
Lips touch my face, 
here and gone

Where Ya Got Your Eyes?

Higher Ground

We can take a broken road
Walk it every day
Put ourselves on cruise control
Deny the price we pay

Or we can climb above it
Breathe the crystal air
Yeah we could take the highroad baby
Can I find you there

CH: I wanna find a higher plane
Find a place to be
I wanna find a higher way
Where I am free

Flesh and blood, here in the mud
Pulls us in every day
You might like it’s warm embrace
And find it easier to stay 

But I don’t like it’s shade of gray
Dead end streets all so mundane
I want the sun on my face
The Son in my heart
And more colors everyday

BR: Higher ground
From where the water falls 
Higher ground
Where spirit calls
A higher plane, 
I breathe again
