held a grudge after our fight all day my mind was scheming decide to ask for peace with all my might that cold winter evening sacred request with a purposeful slight should ease this childhood seething a prayer for everyone in the world to be safe from all that’s evil except jimmy not jimmy no no no not jimmy don't save jimmy the main intent was to indict and laugh as he's weeping hahaha went to bed filled with delight turned away from his pleading but still something just wasn't right as the darkness was seeping i prayed that everyone in the world would be safe from all that's evil except jimmy not jimmy no no no not jimmy then i went to sleep that night don’t save jimmy gotta save jimmy couldn't get it out of my mind all i could think of was his plight i would swear i heard screaming i had to do something to make this right once i imagined the bleeding that's when i changed the prayer that i recite gotta start the healing a prayer for everyone in the world to be safe from all that’s evil even jimmy yes jimmy gotta gotta gotta save jimmy don't forget about him you can't forget about don't you forget about tell me you won't forget jimmy

Sleeping 04:49

slowly fading through thoughts invading been uneasy since my dreams have been hazy as i'm sleeping the dreams come near the moment before they reach me i swear they disappear i want what i can't get in my sleep i won't let this be my mind will be free and i will never stop believing in it all i need is a piece of time and leave all my problems behind see what i want to see i can be who i want to be and do the things i love to do my friend you'd be there with me too when reality's ever against me or no one understands me i'd think of those dreams but they're not there • • • • • • • • • • • morning, waking how long will i take it no dreams to ease me so nothing ever frees me until i see you sleeping before the dawn starts creeping you look so peaceful and in that moment i feel so tranquil i love to see you at peace when you dream i need to let you be who you are so you can dream so free it's been my only peace of mind and in that piece of time my problems are left behind while you see what you want to see when you're who you want to be all those things you love to do my friend you take me there with you when reality's ever against me or no one understands me the thoughts of you dreaming help ease the despair no despair

Blow Me Away featuring Essence 05:24
lyrics
download
we live our lives within a breadth of time we make the best of what we've got even if it not a lot last night the wind was blowing cold, i felt a chill take hold left me empty inside as I was buried in thought we all make our own mistakes even chances we didn't take sometimes these lessons learned become who we are since we're the ones who are left to live our lives with these scars everything that we choose, some we win, some we lose and what might be right for me may not be right for you, i know the opposite is also true, so please don't think i'm blaming you i really wish you wouldn't take offense to the things i say so when that cold wind hit me yesterday I knew there was something i should say, something i should do the one who blew it must be me, because everything's all up to you •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• those cold winds keep coming around they blow so cold, i shiver from the sound last night they even brought me to my knees only the thought of seeing your face again kept me from the depths of its freeze •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• i'd give my life to be with you through time cause without your touch, i'm really not much and with those winds all around, i know my end is confound since the cold from the emptiness drive me insane i thought you'd be here with me everyday now there is nothing i could do, nothing i could say if the decision were left to me i'd ask please come home today, just come home today i need you here with me •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• those cold winds keep blowing through they blow so cold, but what can i do i can hear them blowing through the trees if i knew you believed in me it would keep me from the freeze

America Is Not What It Seems 05:31
lyrics
download
Such shallow minds can be so blind the things they say, give them away while those in need who gotta feed denied by greed ... no way! The right is wrong our time is long and things should change ... TODAY To think a person can be so cold. Just as if their heart's been sold To me the heart's worth more than their gold. When many face each day with no way to meet their basic needs.... we... must ... try ... help them replant those seeds! Provide them with a little relief... The right view others' life as so cheap ... America is not what it seems. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• No one knows that I pray in my own way. best kept inside for me to bide not on display! and EVERYONE deserves some sun EVERYDAY - seek those rays Some find the light through darkest of skies... or warmth in which our comfort relies. radiate the mongers of hate... This melting pot destiny's what makes our country so great!!! we... must... seek.. domestic tranquility, baby! Ever look in eyes of the free? The light in them reminds me to see America still has its dream.... ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Life is rich life's a bit¢h so find your niche The game is played a price is paid then soon we fade – way too quick May not seem fair but when you care, you'll be amazed, feel love and praised! Our country is at war with itself. Let's re-define our personal wealth. Don't be misled by popes, kings, or queens The senator's apology's obvious for all to see .... what.. they... believe... THAT'S GOP POLICY!!!! FIGHT FOR CORPORATE RIGHTS, CAN YOU BELIEVE?? They're selling out majority! AMERICA'S BEING ROBBED BY THE RICH... through oil, war, deceit and fear... ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "...just ask the axis! He knows everything!" •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

sometimes the world feels so much colder when hopes and dreams begin to smolder looks like the sun won’t shine on me today that’s when i try to wash the gray my mind paints each reflective piece of time reminders of life that time will leave behind the colors that bleed they fight as if they’re alive can’t help but wonder are they really dying i wander with no destination can’t help but feel some hesitation don’t know if what they say is really true that’s when i try to wash away the blue • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • BADASS G U I T A R S O L O • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • then i feel them deep inside when i see them i see my life • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • my mind paints each reflective piece of time reminders of life that time will leave behind the colors are needed i feel it deep inside don’t let them wash away cause they’re dying they’re dying now i’m trying see the light they remind us of our lives they’re reminders we’re alive every color

i won't listen there's always something wrong i feel there's something missing no signs of truth just words made up as alibis i get so tired of listening to lies lies lies i'm not perfect i'm lazy drink too much i'm immature i curse and such but if i hurt you i'll apologize and i'll mean it too if your way to make it right is put words in disguise i call those lies i'm not listening to any more of your lies lies lies politicians corporate pigs religious phonies trusted it's so ironic that they advertise that they're so righteous patriotic bible thumping educated fetus loving family value market pumping just ask any orphan that you meet a single mother vet or drifter on the street i hope you'll listen whenever something's wrong or something ever missing here's a word of truth for you that i advise it's so obvious we'll see it in your eyes don't be like those i despise those motherfukcers spreading lies lies lies
