I'd Love Another

Proxy. Moxie.

Bang up job. See,

The only thing you need

Is a little taste of being free.


Shut up. Sit down.

Pleasure having you around.

The real joy comes when you have found

The one who lifts you off the ground.


Upstairs, no one cares.

They’ve hid their fears, for many years.

The most fun comes from grinding gears.

Cope with laughter, drink up those tears.


Give and take.

Let them eat cake.

Losing focus was your biggest mistake.

You’re not regretting, I hope, for your sake.


Rhyme, in time.

Throw me a line,

I know you’re not, though you say you’re fine.

Excuse me miss, I miss you being mine.


Drop out. Tune out.

Stand up and shout.

Wish that I knew what it was all about.

Lie there and cry while she drives by no doubt.


Jump out. Jump in.

Sink or swim.

Can you believe what they say about him?

I’d rather not live life on a whim.


Over and over.

Duck and cover.

What’s that they said about me finding a lover?

All I know, is that I’d love another…

I Just Wanted You To Know

I just wanted you to know

That you’ll be leaving here alone

Don’t try to talk your way out

Just know that no one needs to know.


I just wanted you to know

That I don’t love you anymore

Don’t try to make me stay

Just know that you’ll feel better one day.


I just wanted you to know

That all this time was just a ruse

Don’t try to read into it further

Just know that you were never my muse.


I just wanted you to know

That if you find someone out there

Don’t believe anything they say

Just know they’ll never really care.


I just wanted you to know

That if you feel like you’re going to cry

Don’t get my shoulder wet

Just know there’s no point in asking why.


I just wanted you to know

That I always wanted it to be

Don’t think that I thought different

Just know you didn’t really want me.


I just wanted you to know

That everything must have an end

Don’t think that you can change it

Just know that we cannot be friends.


I just wanted you to know

That I’m not myself at present time

Don’t think that any of this applies to you

Just know that it’s all in your mind.

Music

It helps me to

Not lose my mind

Take in a song

Keep track of time

I stay in bed

Dreams in my head

Take in a song

Make me forget

Flow to, flow for

Me too, what for?

Take in a song

Then take one more

Compose, remix

Give it a spin

Take in a song

And just listen

Augment my mind

Create a lie

Take in a song

Go for a ride

Diminish fear

Major or minor

Take in a song

And make me clear

Harmony soft

Melody sweet

Take in a song

Take and repeat

An ear to hear

A soul to be

Take in a song

And think of me

A thought of you

Is all I need

Take in a song

On bended knee

Roll with the best

And rock this place

Take in a song

Forget my face

Run with the beat

Tempo of life

Take in a song

See me tonight

An awesome show

What a display

Take in a song

Then fade away

Tonight’s the night

Anticipate

Take in a song

And then just wait

I’ll be there soon

You’ll look away

Take in a song

Maybe one day

A hand to feel

And eyes to see

Take in a song

You don’t see me

Soundtrack to life

Sweetest refrain

Take in a song

And end my pain

Sing sweet and croon

And watch you swoon

Take in a song

You’ll end us soon

Love of my life

A bit off key

Take in a song

And be with me

Missing the Point

I’ve been thinking lately

About what I should do.

I’ve been on the fence a lot

And I’ve no idea what to do.


I’ve known the good and true

And occasionally they knew me too.

I’ve known the bad and sin

And occasionally they took me in.


I’ve fraternized with enemies

And I’ve saluted common foes.

I’ve burned bridges to friends

And I’ve watched loves go.


I’ve helped and honorable cause

And I’ve been chivalrous when I could.

I’ve held confident that you cried

And I’ve held you when you would.


I think it’s time to pick a side

I think I really need to decide

Between the good, the bad, it’s so ugly

To be where I’m at, my present me.


I’ve been told there’s no such thing

Between the wrongs and the right

I’ve been told there’s no difference

Good? Evil? How ‘bout an excuse to fight?


I’ve thought about my soul

And where exactly it will go.

I’ve thought that it doesn’t matter

And I’ve also thought I want to know.


I’ve seen people torn asunder

And I’ve found it hard to care.

I’ve seen lives burned all over

And I’ve just sat and stared.


I’ve met souls that needed help

And I’ve offered them a hand.

I’ve comforted those who’re down

And I’ve silenced temptations demands.


I think it’s time to pick a side

While there’s still one to pick

Sort out what’s going on here

Good? Bad? It makes me sick.


But I’ve recently discovered

That it might not even matter

I could ride life to the end

Never listening to the chatter

I could ignore what they say

I could live life my own way

I could care less day by day

I could sleep sweetly in my grave


I’ve seen the evil in you

And I’ve seen the good too

I’ve asked myself: How’re you doing?

But I’ve never asked that of you.


Because ultimately it isn’t about me

Some how I think you knew

I only did this for you

Just for you
