It was 9 o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,
It was Tuesday morning 9 o'clock,
Tick tock, Tick tock,
Make it stop...!,
These visions in my brain,
The thoughts bring only pain,
The scene repeats, replays,
I wondered what to say,
I begged her "Baby stay...",
And "It can't always rain...",
"We'll turn another page...",
"Maybe things will change...",
There's only me to blame,
I knew something was strange,
When she boarded the train,
And left without a wave,
That's when she went away,
Said "she just needed space...",
Said she'd be "gone a day...",
Deliberately vague,
Her words cut like a blade,
She lied right to my face,
At 9 o'clock in the morning on a Tuesday,
On a Tuesday...,
It was Tuesday...,
At 9 o'clock...

The Star (Zvezda)
So many times I asked myself
What for I was born into this world and grew up
And why the clouds float and rains pour
You shouldn't expect anything for yourself in this world
I would fly up to the clouds but I have no wings
That starlight lures me from afar
But it's hard to reach the star though the goal is close at hand
And I don't know if I 'll have enough strength for the throw
I'll wait just a little bit more
And then will get ready for my journey
Towards the Dream and Hope
Oh my star, please don't burn out, just wait!
How many paths do I have to go by?
How many peaks should I conquer to find my own self?
How long should I keep falling from the cliff?
How many times should I start from the beginning and is there any sense to it?
I'll wait just a little bit more
And then will get ready for my journey
Towards the Dream and Hope
Oh my star, please don't burn out, just wait!

steel-blued rails
or tarred lane miles
cables or fables
we're layin' the lines
vapored sky lines
Internet bylines
those bar scene
come on lines
we're all layin' lines
making trails
refinin' our designs
plantin' our mines
layin' down our lines
innocence seen benign
overhead or underground
pushing straight to realign
down the lines
some lines are down
sparks on the ground
hot wired intertwines
line ahead a minus sign
heard before that ol' line
just useless goin' on
tossin' towel in to resign
bifurcate to recombine
futures seen to redefine
no talkin' on a party line
lines are down on cloud nine

Im not sure that I have been myself
Oh well now what do I do?
When I look in the mirror and I see my face
I see you were never there for me
23 years have passed, but now that time has gone
You were who I believed in
Now look what youve done to me
Realize what youve done to US!
Well now that I think about it
It has always been you, about you
Now its just F*#k you!
Exit my mind as I feel my life come shivering
all through out my body.
My walls have been crumbling, tearing out everything
Its my fault I made this
Now I can destroy this
I can kill you!
The bull sh%#@ter, the lower denominator
Thorn in my spine, I uplift my eyes
As I stumble upon this new life Im finding
Your walls have been crumbling,I'm tearing down everything
Your broken machine helped destroyed this
Now I must rebuild it

These wall are closing....as I lie alone here in our bed.
With the sad memories of you running through my head.
And I try not to cry,but I just can't take the pain.
When these walls start closing in I softly call your name.
Yesterday is gone and so are all our dreams.
The silence in this empty house,makes me wanna scream.
Read the letter that you left, but you gave no reason why.
When these walls start closing in I feel like I could die.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think,I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
'Cause when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
I see all our old friends they ask me how i'm doing.
I tell em ok but who am I fooling.
I feel just like a fool drowning in my misery.
When these walls start closing in your ghost won't set me free
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.
It's been a long time,so much has changed.
Sometimes I wake up in the night,calling out your name.
Never in my life have I ever felt so alone.
When these walls start closing in this house just ain't a home.
And I don't know if i'll ever get over you,but I know,I will
get by.
And I don't think I could ever stop loving you,no I couldn't,
even if I tried.
So when these walls start closing in,think i'll drink myself to
sleep.
And as I softly call your name,pray the lord your soul to keep.

About this poem:
I wrote this song in 2007, a few months after my Mom passed away from cancer.I always let the melody of what i'm playing and the emotion I feel from it lead me into the song that i'm writing.I hardly ever write lyrics down and 95% of what I write just flows out of me.For this song I tried to imagine how my Dad felt after losing his wife and best friend of 36 years.

Dragon fire casting spells,
Piercing fumes, a haze compels,
Toxic breath, it's hard to breathe,
Fiery wings set free.
Unleashing fury of the flame,
From ember to inferno it came,
A dragon's rage, a sight to fear,
Its fuming scales, all too clear.
A beast so mighty, free to roam,
In darkness, it calls home,
Its power knows no bounds,
And with a breath, all falls down.
Fuming scales, sharp as knives,
With roaring bellows, it thrives,
A predator, a primal force,
A dragon's power has no remorse

How I feel is hard to explain,
causes me too much pain.
I choke up, my throat throbs,
If I speak, then I'll sob.
I don't want to go over,
what happened back then.
I don't want to remember,
what happened back then.
I don't want to think,
and I don't want to ache.
Or I just might sink,
after trauma makes me shake.
I was literally driven insane,
days and days of being crazed.
You treated my love as only mundane,
You'd hear me cry and never be fazed.
T'was better we went our separate ways,
the love we shared turned to pure hate.
In a grave is where our memories should lay,
Not a long enough life for our hate to abate.
Nope, not enough time for mistakes to fade,
not enough magic for those days to be unmade.
And after so many years...
It's still too soon to feel okay,
and still too soon to love again.

I'm starting to dim now,
I'm being dragged along.
The hurt I've been endowed,
sadly sings it's song.
Crystal tears are falling,
then cease to well as much.
Somethings happening to me,
my heart is in drought.
And it feels like,
I'm dying inside.
I've lost my want to fight,
does this mean I have died?
I have now stumbled,
into a black hole.
Let go of my hand,
I can't break your hold.
It's not hard to see,
I'm in way too deep.
Please now let me go,
can't take you down with me.
All the stars around me,
wink out one by one.
Darkness encroaching,
hides the light from the sun.
Such a deafening sound,
the silence is so loud.
I'm being dragged around,
way up here beyond the clouds.
Closing my eyes now,
curl up into a ball.
I shut my fears down,
and don't let myself call.
Holding tears back,
keep my pain inside.
Universe turns black,
I just count down time.
And I fall to sleep,
I live in my dreams.

About this poem:
Written about the thoughts I went through when I went through a breakdown during my mid 20's.
Post Comment
You took me to a paddock, and the darkness swelled,
you told me not to panic, and then you showed me hell.
I wanted to run away but, where could I go?
Felt like time never ends, I felt my fear grow.
My mum, made me, cry, and cry.
My dad, he'd fight, he'd fight, because of that night.
You think you gave the child I was some love,
but it wasn't!
You messed me up and so I locked myself,
in my own prison!
I was an outcast when I went to school,
because of you!
Crazy, smoking dope, alcohol, short fuse,
because of you!
Would I have turned out different, no stolen innocence?
If you never took me away, would I be a bit more sane?
Fare better in a crowd, could I stand being held?
Would this broken shell have grown up to take on the world?
I can't let go of it, let go of the past,
Did ya know the damage you did, was going to last.
I take tablets now, so I don't go psycho,
It's why I'm so run down, I just can't let go.

About this poem:
I haven't put any of my lyrics in verses, bridges, etc. because I didn't think people would really want to read the same part over and over again. Each of my lyrics I post is basically the two verses; the bridge/break, pre-chorus, post-chorus and the chorus each once.
I see I've turned into a bit of a serial poster so I'll give it a rest after this one.
