Maybe
Maybe,
you are still in love with me.
We were the best I’ve ever seen, not preceded by maybe.You started to run, I started to walk.
You started to turn, we started to talk; about the things that we use to be.You started to stay, I started to stop.
One look in each others eyes, there’s that smile and yeah were having fun; just like the way we used to do.Maybe,
I am still in love you
We are the most messed up team
Not followed by maybeYou started to scream I started to shout
More than an arguement now we’re falling down…
Just like we never used to doI started to change then I started to stop
This life’s feeling strange
Is this all part of the plot
Maimed and confused… that’s what I’ve been used to.Maybe,
theres still hope for you and me.
We are the best we’ve ever been
Not followed by maybeWe’ve started to learn, continued to grow
Sharing our thoughts and its started to show. Still in love just like we always doMaybe,
We needed to see all of these things, just to know the truth…
You were made for me and I was made for you!(Repeats)
Yeah now we’re having fun, still in love, just like, like we always do! -
Rathermore
I’d rather love than hate
Both are powerful
Each carries weightI’d rather live than die
Both are painful
Each consume timeI’d rather fail than not try
Both take a part of you
Each change your lifeI’d rather think than know
Both are dangerous
Each must decide for their own -
Reawakening
All these years I have been conscious
with eyes open and a upright
I’ve answered when questions are asked
although not always rightI’ve seen the sun in the morning
and the moon at night
felt pure darkness
and bathed in brilliant lightI have known joy and love.
Felt sorrow and despair
I’ve taken in life
the same as my lungs draw in airThough I have been conscious
with eyes open and upright
Only for a short time
Have I truly been awake and in the lightWhen vision gets clouded with pain
and our life’s a chore
We sleep and forget
we’ve been given so much moreOthers to love, grieve with and this life share
Our mind reawakened
not without cost
The same as all that is rare -
Those
Those who work are working
Those who won’t are lurking
Those who live are living
Those who die are dyingThose who fear are fearing
Those whom spin are spinning
Those who lie are lying
Those who aren’t are not buyingThose who want are trying
Those who won’t are crying
Those who believe you can’t
Those who achieve in spite of the rantThose who live are living
To give to those who need giving
Those whom decided they are dying
Have already given up even trying -
Wealth
I will move on before you
Don’t shed a single tear
I’ve always known
I would see these things before
Would move to hold and indearI never really wanted to
Had wished to just play dumb
Had wished to ignore the truth
That I will see the next
Before it comesI’ve always known
That there was more than here
That I was meant to be somewhere else
Never really wanted to
Accept the cost of all this wealthThat’s why I always played along
Quick to joke and laugh
Fast to speak and much to do
I always knew
This couldn’t last -
All I can do
Intro/Chorus (Repeats in round)
Well its all that I can do, just to do what I doWell its all that I can do, just to do what I do.
V1
When the rain keeps falling, it just keeps falling its hard to dry up. I’d rather weather the storm drunk, but I know I’ve already had enough.And the pain keeps building, I refuse yeilding, punching a smile through with light, struggle with all my might.. cause we’ve already been sad for too damn much time.
Chorus 1
Well it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do,
Well it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do.(Repeat in round)
V2
Addiction keeps building it just keeps weilding everything sure sign of the truth, I’m getting just a little long in the tooth to keep on wearing all my badges from youth.And the clouds keep forming they just keep swarming I’d like to bat them all away, but I cant reach them anyways so I might as well just enjoy the shade.
Chorus 2
Well it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do,
Well it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do.(Repeat in round)
V3
And I cant keep complaining or just abstaining and not naming any fault of myself. It’s the result of my own cross to bear, all the pain that we all share… all that has been lost from here.And if I just keeping going, I just keep showing up
I know all won’t be lost. At least part of me will continue to carry the cause. I keep pausing and acknowledging all the time that I’ve already lost, maybe I’ve already waited too long.Chorus/end (Repeat in round)
But it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do,
Well it’s all that I can do, just to do what I do.Alternate repeat in round to instrumental end

Best of me
Intro/chorus
I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering meI woke up and got down!
V1
I’m back and spinning new yarns to critical masses
Mediocrity is in session and it seems its been teaching people classes
So I’m willing all my people to get right up off their asses
Transcend this narrative replace it with explinitives and finally take out all the trash(es)Rise from the ashes its a new day, a new way of preforming the act of being human
Nothings new man, under sun its all been done yet we still are one, still alot of fun underneath that very same sun its not done with us quite yetChorus
I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering meI woke up and got down!
Went from winning it to beginning and beginning and beginning it
but I never quit it so I just keep on throwing down.
throwing demons around there’s plenty in this town that know the sound of a child of light prepared to go 10 rounds
that strength comes from no compromise, no stray from the line that divides the weak from those who suffer the truth and feel the knaw of the tooth
prepared for the pain its no strain, nothing strange just the way ive always been living, thankful for this life I’ve been given so I keep on swinging for the fences, shoveling the trenches and reaching for my redemption.(Chorus)
I hope you know you got the best of me
Now stick around for the rest of me
I was sick and tired of even the best of things
I woke up and found out what was bothering meI woke up and got down!

Matriarch
What can be said
A person could speak
up to million words
and still not conveyWhat can be said
This person knew which few words
of that million you needed to hear
On any given day -
Homeward
Home is where your heart is at any given hour.
Past old memories and scars that still hold their power.
You only find the place you’ve been looking for after you ask.
Pride lies to your mind, this is the place where we finally move past.
You’ll know when you’ve arrived because you are fulfilled at last.
Home is where your heart is at any given hour.

Acceptance
I will lose, I will lose for being me.
I accept that fate for there are many who will not see.
As I lose even the more will I gain.
In speaking my own thought I will find others as me, unrestrained.
