Clouds Watch Me

Simple, pure, gliding above
They'll twist to twirl, drift and swirl
In a sky of bled out blue
Lost before the sun's light
Lifting heaven higher
Now I understand some
Even if it rained
Stormed, screamed with scorching star
Simple clouds glide above me

Jumper - Third Eye Blind

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies that you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand

Three

It's good to be
A magic number
And this most likely
Is utter nonsense
Three-oh

Razor Blade

It's a pretty little thing
Inch and a half long
Makes pretty patterns
You wanna know how I got these scars?

Handicap

Stops me from walking tall
The need to lean for support
My youth failing me
Strength leaving me
And it's just one knee
That's all it takes
Bloody hell it hurts so much
I even wrote a poem about it

Crystal Clear

Hear me! Damn it, come on
I'll call louder, louder still!
Answer me! Please
I need to know, I have to know
You're still there, still alive

Lalala

Swing around, and around
Up and down, to drown
In a pool of your own tunes

Sharp

Little
Words
Always
Say
The
Most

Like stupid

These Days

Young in the morning
Red dawning cityscape
Promise of new strength

At six in the morning
Another new day to escape
Or stay and fight for the length

Happiness in the morning
Joyful dawning landscape
Oath of renewed strength

To Be Missed

Sort of like, "To be announced"
Except in an "I won't be here" way
That's a goodbye everybody needs
No expectations left unsure
Because to live where every second counts
And every breath breathes gray
The last thing, for something else, bleeds
Then the goodbye is finally secure

Unsettled

I missed you
By just a few
Too many years
I can't force
Myself to age
Simply because
I missed you
By just a few

Some call it
Pure unlucky
Others say it's
Just the way
This world works
Sure sure, that
Will have to do
I suppose
Because in the end
I still missed you
By just a few
Years or two

Bookends

The collection that is
Your most valuable prize
Whatever it is that
Defines you
Describes you
Defeats you
Defies you
Despises you
It's stored in this shelf
A miniature library
Chronicle of existence
Every word of every sight of
Every day of every scent of
Every week of every touch of
Every month of every taste of
Every year of everything you hear
Written, typed, photographed
Between these covers
I'll be the bookends

I Wonder

If I took your hand
Would you lead me
To the start or the end?
To receive, or send?
A million such questions
I need before I'll come
Or go, whichever
Alone, or together

Smash

Get it buck, krump
However you want
Break to the beat
Till you break your feet
Pop it right out
Then pop it back in
Keep locking to the beat
Hands still spinning
Heel-toe, heel-toe
Glide left to right
Shuffle...
Yeah time to leave

Badly Concealed

This is all I know, I swear!
Learned it to survive
Read my lips, from these words,
Inside I may be crying, but this is
Uttered by me, to prove I share
Everything I know
To say I don't hurts
Someday I'll slip.
Haven't I convinced you?

[What do I want to believe?]

Track Thirty-Two

What is an insecurity? Is it a fear of failure, or perhaps to be unsure of the outcome? Funny thing is, I'm insecure about the fact that I don't truly know the definition of insecurity.

Welcome to the Window. Due to my limited English skills, I checked the meaning of the word insecure in the dictionary, and in gave me the definition as follows: "insecure = unsafe; not firm; liable to give way".
When someone says to me that they're insecure, I used to think it was simply that they didn't have confidence. However, the dictionary defined explanation of the word shed a whole new light over the potency of this word, and how deeply it can actually reach.
The words that flooded my mind post referring to the dictionary, were vulnerable, exposed, weak, afraid, stripped, broken, anxious, nervous, and another that just slipped my mind. All of these words seem stereotypical, and boring. We've heard them all before. But think of an image, or a scenario with each individual word. Vulnerable: a young toddler left alone in the middle of a busy street, open to the elements of our unstable society; a teenage girl who's just been sexually assaulted, beaten and abused both physically and mentally; a man in his late thirties, realising he wasted all his years of effort and education to simply take an occupation he despises, with no family and no money; an elderly man who's lost his wife, has children who dumped him in a home, as he clings to whatever remaining dignity he can muster, as Alzheimer's disease tears his mind and soul apart.

A couple who lost their children, their home, their livelihood, their friends, their entire knowledge of existence, all in a swift, yet brutal fiery blaze.

These are people with vulnerabilites, the people with insecurities. This small and simple word, harbours a lifetime of grief and sorrow, tribulations and despair.

The exact point I'm trying to make, I don't even know for sure. I guess I'm asking for a reevaluation of just how insecure we may see ourselves to be, and reasons behind it. You'd be surprised how little you might have.

On a final note, I'd like to ask you all to perhaps make a donation to the numerous groups and organisations collecting money for the Victorian bushfire victims, or even simply say a little prayer, hope for the winds to change and the rain to come.

Take it easy everyone, keep smiling =]

Hell On Wheels

You feel it? Hear it?
Smell it burn, burn
Grip the wheel, quick
Make the turn, turn
Not any race, to run
But one for life to stay
React like a trigger's gun
Make the track pay

Silence

Since that night I wrote this song time ran ahead
Words have all gone astray, even though left unsaid
Left behind letters that I never could send
I forgot what to say, now I'm stuck at end

Seriously Joking

See that emo kid by the road?
For today, he'll be me
Waiting for a call
That's just not going to come

[Emo kids are funny.]

When I'm Gone - Eminem

Have you ever loved someone so much you'd give an arm for them
Not the expression, no, literally give an arm for them
When you know they're your heart, and you know you were their armour
And you would destroy anyone who would try to harm them
But what happens when karma, swings right around and bites you
And everything you stand for, turns on you, despite you?
What happens when you become the main source of the pain?

Plague Of Doubt

When I forget
It won't be because I don't want to remember
But because memories are flooding back
Pushing aside every other thought
Just pretend we never met
Like we were both pretenders
maybe the extreme could heal this crack
And save me. Save me soon.

Can't Die

I'm still writing these songs
Let what I say, stay that way
It's mine to sing, it has been all along
And every word will engrave
A note that I was here
I left my mark in history
Maybe small, maybe great
All I know, is I designed my fate
One song love, another for pain
Spin a lie, it sounds just the same
Words keep me tied down
They're what's keeping me around

Long Ago

For the first time
I remembered you
Not for the pain, though
Definitely maybe

On nights like this
Under the same stars
Time escaped us

And every word, was
Not just spoken
You were my escape
Within a crazy world
Away from it all
Yet you hurt me most

Slowing Down

Gotta take it easy
Rest a little here
Recuperate some there
Stress is knocking on my door
He wants in, and now
"You ain't welcome."
Says I.

Drag Along

In a bag comes my
Every little sigh
Unheard, broken cry
It's not really new
Torn a little, too
Just keep pulling

Quite Surreal

Dreaming, dreaming of
A softer day in this hard week
Might just be the start of
A new sunshine to seek

Curiosity

Little questions
Drive me mad
So do all those
Stupid fads
But curiosity
Killed the cat
I wonder what
I'll make of that

Get Soul

V1.
Feel the rhythm
In collision
With a vision
Of a love in mind
Just another
For your lover
Let this cover
You and take control

Bridge.
This beat, is
Something different
Something different
For, each and every person
Something special
Something special
Something special
We're on a roll let's take it to the top

Chorus.
I hear a beat, to move my feet
It's so exciting
No one to care, just love to share
It's all I
Could ever ask for

V2.
Now together
Us forever
When or whenever
We'll remember this time
Get to business
Be my witness
Of the finesse
That this tune can give us
