Pain

The bus stand's kinda wet tonite
Nondescript people walking by
The rain's just come in
Souls running for cover
I watch the drops bounce of the asphalt
I watch the fire red umbrella blowing down the street
I watch everything
I watch anything
Whatever takes my mind off the pain

The bus comes in
I walk up the dank stairs
The bus screeches on its way
Dark roads, diffused lights
Like candles dying away in the rain
Like my soul flickering out
I try to find comfort
I try to sing a happy song
I try everything
I try anything
Whatever takes my mind off the pain

The walk down the alley
Never seemed so solitary
I walk into a corner
Pull out my last cigarette
The smoke rings through the rain
The Karma of days gone by
I run through the rain
My cigarette glowing like a firefly
I run everywhere
I run anywhere
Whatever takes my mind off the pain

My small room
On the 3rd floor of the 42nd street
Hallucinations of your welcome arms
Of you saying hi honey
But there's no one there
Just my bottle of scotch
The rocks melted an hour back
Now its all just salty
Guess I should've kept my face away
I hide in my glass
I hide in my home
I hide everywhere
I hide anywhere
Whatever takes my mind off the pain

Baby I'm gonna miss you
I miss you now
I will always miss you
Can't not imagine the ifs...
Can't just let go
Maybe someday

Here Forever

When I'm walking down the road
I see a thousand faces
Some of them look to their past
And some of them to the future

And just then the rain breaks loose
Bringing them all back to now
You've got to wonder
What it takes
Just to stick to the moment

Then the answer hits us all
You've  got to find that someone
Who makes every second count
Even more than the last one
Makes you want to stay stuck here forever

 

Ya ya I know this sounds like yet another cliched love song but the tune was just such that, as Saudi said, you can only make a corny love song out of this. :)

False Tears

Wind swept my mind away
It all seemed to make sense
Till you had to turn it all
Now you're walking away
And I'm still in your caress

I can't let this end
Can't let it blow away
It's been what my life revolved around

You stood there
Tears in your eyes
But deep inside I knew
They couldn't be real
Thanks for what they're worth anyway

Wake

The sun is setting
on the fire beach
and we're throwing it all away
the rain comes down
like pearls from way up high
its paradise reprise

I want to wake everyday
wake to the sunshine on my face
i want to feel the wind in my hair
feel it blowing away my pain
now everyday we fight this battle for our home

A walk through the jungle
the serenading sounds
its all at stake
we cover ourselves
in mists of ignorance
while our home wafts away

It you. Its me
we can win from here on now
together we'll stand
catch the flight across the rainbow

We can change

Dripping blood

paints the evening sky

The black remnants of human sins

Churn the sunset to darker shades

In a 10 years

can we look back to this very moment

Will we even be around

Will our kind survive

Evils of its own making

We have got to start looking beyond

Beyond the moment

And for all that we love

We have to change

We can bring it about

We can CHANGE.

Fool in Love

If its foolish to love
I am a fool
I can't help these feelings
That makes life so much better.
Like the rivers flow to the sea
We were also meant to be
I can't walk alone again
Coz i've tasted love now
And now lonely is something I never wanna be

I am a fool in love
Can't you see
That I'd do anything to feel this forever
You and me - we're for now
and hope we're forever

If its a crime to fall for you
I'm a criminal
All I wanna do anymore
Is to hold your hand and watch the stars
Cigarettes and wine can't give me the high
you do

Inner Child

Have you heard of the child
Who was trapped inside
For years on end
In that dark little place
Then there came a moment of joy
That set her free

And now she's
Free like a bird in the blue sky
Flying away down south to her dreams
Yes, she dreams now of a new world
She found out that she never grew up

The sun wants to befriend her
After all she's a ray
The wind's at her back
Pushing her on her way
Mother Nature's conspiring for her success

And now she's
Free like a bird in the blue sky
Flying away down south to her dreams
Yes, she dreams now of a new world
She found out that she never grew up

So release the child inside you'
Find your own special moment
