This World Still Has Some Good (A Pantoum)

with all that we have to do
I don't know why we hate
you'd think living like we do
people would choose to relate

I don't know why we hate
there's no reason for the pain
people would choose to relate
if something they could gain

there's no reason for the pain
this world still has some good
if something they could gain
then they would do as they should

This world still has some good
If they could escape their fear
then they would do as they should
and peace could start to come near

If they could escape their fear
people would change their ways
and peace could start to come near
we would then see better days

Night Time

The darkness falls on me today

the hookers put there shame away

the city comes alive with crime

but that's when I'm feeling prime

The sun did its job again

the parties will now all begin

relationships might end tonight

when jealous guys will start a fight

chorus:

Night time is the time of life

where everyone has some fun

strangers meet and friends depart

but we'll always be one and one

In hopes that I might get a flirt

I probably should change my shirt

we'll head out to our favorite bar

you know the one that's not too far

A night of drinks to free the brain

I hope I don't get too insane

Tomorrow I got nothing to do

I hope I can spend it with you

repeat chorus

In the morning when the drugs wear off

you wonder if you had enough

you're friends call to see if you're alright

the signs of another good night

Cuz That's What

I want to feel what
you feel when you see me
So I can be what
you need when your with me
I want to be the
pain that brings you joy
cuz that's what love is
pain that brings you joy

You can't hide your thoughts
from me I will find them
you know I can see
right through your lying eyes
they're bold and beautiful
and say so much
they're like the sea
after a thunder storm

please be weary of people
that come into your life
they can manipulate
you in a ways you cannot see

Deceivers will follow
and swallow you when they can
please remember my warnings
I give you every day

You now wanna get
away from all your fears
gotta get away from
the things that scar you
just get up and go
don't care about me
all you ever have
in life is yourself

I'll forget you someday
when I least expect
your love is something
I will never forget
I don't care how long
it will take to find
another love like
what I shared with you

Shooting Star

Stars start falling from the sky
is it the end of you and I?
take my hand and look in my eye
you know I will not let you die
if you told me that you cry
I would know that you always try
I know that you live way to high
I hope it's not the reason that you lie
Believe me when I tell you love
and we can try and live way above
heavens will release their doves
when we stop living with kid gloves

Us Against Us

While my peace seems so divided
why can't we just live united
a million people alone in the world
striving to find each other

Why can't we just live united
do we need to be invited
a gathering of the greatest minds
never leads to better times

Do we need to be invited
are we meant to just fight it
the feelings of a better earth
never seem to bare witness

Are we meant to just fight it
is the world us against us
a defeat caused by our greed
is all that we can now see

Is the world us against us
trying to hold a deeper lust
a million people alone in the world
striving to find each other

When We Could Relate

I'm a man of peace
I'm a man of war
If I can't have it all
then I don't want more
release these thieves
release these whores
When all you want is cash
then you're nothing more

together we're alone
and divided were one
if we could hold hands
then we would be friends
I don't want to take your time
if you don't have none
what happened to the day
when we could relate

I recall having fun
I recall having none
If I could be your man
then I would be your one
don't look to the rest
don't look for a test
just look what you have
I could be the best

The Things I Say

Do you want to see me change for you
would you rather leave me be
I don't want to lose you
Just open your eyes and see me

Remember my love's unrelenting
I just cant let you go
I wish I could see into your future
And see if you are high or low 

So pardon my arrogance
It's just fed by my ignorance
Forget the things I say
I don't want them to stay

I don't know where were going
I can't stand when we're apart
I wish I could sing you a song
That gets way down in your heart

I can feel my world is slipping
But I don't feel any pain
I'd love to see you tomorrow
And hope your love will gain
