Default tree of life

She was the one who found me
I was the one who planted a tree........
as the branches, went in every direction
nurtured with love and, effection.....

Strong now stands alone
in a field of corn
green fields sold as seen
tarmac for empty streets.......

Bearing fruit bearing life
vitamin c under the knife
mans definition of a beautiful earth
has no idea what it's worth.....

Trend setting that all eye's will see
nothing is sacred not even the trees....
dry up all the resources, blame it on progress
kill the planet only, doing what we all do best.......

The poor are getting hungry
and so very cold
the heating is turned off
weve sold all our gold.....
No hearts are burning
with desire within our souls
getting so very tired
living in a lifeless hole.

Dreaming positive dreams
has obviously passed me by
frustrated and angry
nothing left but to die......
If someone cares then
why is it i hear no voice
money as a trade for oxygen
was their no other choice.......

She was the one who found me
I was the one who planted a tree........

Default a gentle nudge

She lives in our family
but she is a stranger to me
she is not of my kin
but she gets everything.

She is not of my blood
there's no respect oh my God
alway's in the wrong but never to surrender
but alway's getting someone to defend her.

Feelings of guilt are never seen in her eye's
amazes me, how evil, how sly
temptation, sleeping with deciept
wicked desire all so sweet.

The line has been drawn and frequently crossed
submitting, comes at a cost
thought provoking, trying to forget her
paying another stranger to collect her.

Falling but never landing
hurt with no physical pain
disgust is all i feel for her
and i will say it all again.

The little you know the better
you really don't want to know what i know
disturb your sense of wellbeing
to let you receive a fatal blow.
Come on come on
she could prevent her fall
i'm talking, why wont she listen at all.

Captivated by a stranger that capture's her eye's
this one is from me, what a suprise, got to say goodbye.

Default what goes up

Looking but not often seeing
what is going on
hearing but often not listening
not even when i'm at home
trouble is i really am lost
never thought i would lose myself
it's not something i can boast about
it's not one of my strengh's.

A typical day i'm working, along side others
in time they are referred to, like sisters and brothers
Though no one can be trusted
as they are all out for themselve's
friendships are broken
living but wanting to be someone else.

My world is bolted down
no way to escape
i have given a stranger
the power to decide my fate
and i know they see me struggle
with what is thrown at me
in the dream i am an actor
as big as life on tv.

All i have is imagination
and i spend to long inside
to realise reality hurts
i long to say goodbye
But time is ticking
and i must be somewhere
can't be late for anything
i am a man and i really do care.

Pushed to my limit
side to side
hitting the ground
lost the fight
get back up, only to find
who's hitting, bruising my pride.
It's just one thing and another
life has spice
it can also be nice.

Default hand of deceipt

Isolated but not out of choice
the vote commenced, their was no outrage
All people's gathered in friendship
and pleasantly lived out there days.

The magic of family
went across the nation
love filled the young
in every generation.

Abounding in love for freedom
enjoying every pleasure known to man
the whole world had her arms outreached
helping the frail and the old to stand.

Nothing more important
than helping your fellow man
not here to wage war on him
i am what i am.

If the whole world belongs to us
then how can any other tresspass
No laws were broken
and nothing was ever spoken.

Coming to my attention
summer is at hand
out from the shadow of clouds
to walking on golden sands.

Why must anything change
why do we all live to fall
something evil inside
and we bow to it when it calls.

Progress is success
out with old, in with the new
we will not leave it all behind
all i have is love for me and you.

Thumbs up

I don't know what genre you're going for, but I'd say some of these lyrics would be freakin awesome Alt-rock songs, just sayin'

Default read you

Everytime you open your mouth it's lie upon lie
there is no limit to the hurt you cause
and i ask myself why.
Why is that, you are not afraid
lying to people everyday
there will be consequences
which you yourself will have to pay.

You who have a position, of authority
people need and desire your guidance
they want to follow your lead.
So with this in mind
where do you think you are,
is there nothing you won't lower yourself to
no restrictions nothing barred.

You are heartless bitter and cold
is that how you want people to see you
a life yet untold.
I dispair, how long will this go on
bad feelings are surfacing, soon you will be gone.
Or worse still you may still be here
and that's not to be taken lightly
because then you will disappear.

Threatening words, i appeal to you,
don't make matter's worse
you know what you have to do.
All across the board, you have to turn the tables
it can be done your young, strong and able.
Still i have faith in you
i may be alone
i'm afraid this could be your last chance
before you are kicked off the thrown.

Nothing good can come from lies
only for you a nasty surprise
or maybe your looking for the one who will try
maybe then everyone will see you out of your disguise.
Everyone is out to get you
you can't sleep at night
you just don't know though
who you have to fight.

Thats why your horrible to everyone
lying and deceiving to all
it can't just be paronoia
for you to declare war.
Something must have been said
a full frontal attack
for you to retaliate to such an unforgivable tact.

Maybe you are oblivious
you are just ignorant
wine and dine silly
your just a fat lying xxxx.

Default our pass

If love falls it doesn't allways break
allways in the mind that it was a mistake
though your life may not fall apart
it doesn't stop the pain within your heart.
Sinking deep into your gut
hurting so unbearable
though in these times you know
that the future is so unpredictable.

Opputunities missed, out of the lack of observation,
if only they would open their eye's
and join the world of conversation.
bringing forth love, filling every crack and hole,
someone to believe in, giving life back to your heart and soul.

Default my ideal

In an ideal world
everyone would be like me
in an ideal world
everyone would see as i see
No one would be hurting or angry in any way
hungry and thirsty within people's lives everyday
something is wrong but nothings done
one by one into execution.

In an ideal world
everyone would believe
in an ideal world
everyone would be free
instead of being shackled
and put into slavery
working for nothing
in ultimate poverty.

In an ideal world
nothing would be hidden from anyone
in an ideal world
no one would be ruled by man with guns
get in line or be shot dead
you who are capable, are still spoon fed
beaten down with force
zero tollerance, we who uphold the law.

In an ideal world
we would be of the same family
in an ideal world
we would know eachother from our family tree
Eat at the same table
without cloak and dagger
sing the lords praises
and sit and eat with eachother.

In an ideal world
the truth would be truth
in an ideal world
we would teach wisdom to our youth
So that they would not fall
into bad company
they would all excel
and not rebel against humanity.

In an ideal world
everyone would be like me
in an ideal world
everyone would see as i see
not pretending that i know it all
or to even say i know the final score
can't even hold on to what i have
can't even say i will have the last laugh.
It's just about my understanding
and how i treat everyone
not with a fist or by holding, a loaded gun.
it's all in my presence
and i'm sick about what i see
man is going to the dogs
and everyone is following happily.

Default all going

Racing with ideas
what my life will be like
wiping away my tears
entering into twilight
When i return i will be a woman
and all the great things in life will be summoned, before me.

Chorus:
Dreaming of the dream
that will make me
under and over
life won't break me
i will not fall at the first hurdle
something wonderful inside of me.

Pushing off at a running speed
nothing holding me back
may the whole world fill me
and then nothing will i lack.

Default choked

Haunted by how, life has been lived
a trail of distruction in which i cannot forgive, myself
everyday is like a dream that never ends
no one can leviate this burden, it only re-offends.
Time gets hardened, my heart grows cold
do not follow me as this tale unfolds
nothing is similar when living in madness
for a minute in time, an emotional blackness.

Night and day, black and white
always feeling but the time is not right
suffering in silence, so not to offend
a non existant substance will never mend.
No answer from behind the door
this man isn't conscious anymore
he may hear but listening he is not
caught in a time lapse he sits and rots away.

Trouble, there is none
time, has had it's run
He could not, achieve his goals
all his dreaming will never save his soul.
Nothing good came from his mouth
a river that has run dry
a sorry state he ended up
and no one was with him to say goodbye.

Breathing is for the living
the dying need no breathe
with age comes wisdom
as is death.
If your water is stagnent
and you still have the will to live
be the jack that jumps out of the box
and i will give that man a hand.

Only the wasted time
will never re-appear
but time is yours while your still standing
that cannot disappear.
Re- event yourself make you anew
there is nothing you cannot achieve
just change that point of view.

Over and over i stew in my guilt
i had a life but now i am at the hilt
nothing above nothing below
i have surrendered to the end i will wollow
swallow me up swallow me whole.
