You Are Not The One

Verse 1
Oranges are not the only fruit
This may be a shock to your system
But I guess we're back where we started
You're wounded and I'm holding the bow
It wasn't malicious intent on my part
But I hate to tell you
That 'I told you so'

Verse 2
You can say you knew me
When we were close
Since then, we've grown apart
When only the memory remains
Feelings have dissipated
And emotions are remembered
I could have been crowned king for a day
Then I'd be a fool for a lifetime

Bridge
Not all who wander are lost
I know what I'm searching for
This bridge, I must cross
Wrestling over tiny matters
Is what we'd do
If we stayed together
You've got to admit
That you are not the one for me

Chorus 1
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I would die for
You are not the one
That I could open up to
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

Chorus 2
You are not the one
That I want to wake up next to
You are not the one
That I want to hold in my arms
You are not the one
That I want to grow old with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me

Chorus 3
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

Move Along

Verse 1
Took the punches and beatings
Ran for dear life
Knocked on a neighbour's door
So I wouldn't sleep outside
The extension cord that left bruises on me
Was the same one used to plug in the fan
During a heatwave
Babysitter left, I dialled 9-1-1
The authorities threatened to take me away
Parents came rushing home
And unleashed a punishment
That I could never forget
Even if I tried

Verse 2
I was always distant form those around me
Unable to form a lasting connection
Years passed and I was still afraid
Of becoming more of myself

Verse 3
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother and father are nowhere to be found
My legacy will be controlled by me

Bridge 1
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother and father become my enemy
The queen and the king ruled in a burning castle

Bridge 2
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother was clueless, father was selfish
The queen ruled over the king
In a make believe empire

Bridge 3
I've known pain since I was child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother was angry, father was absent
The queen controlled every aspect of her domain
But now I'm the king of myself
I chose to move along

Chorus
Not only was I remembering my past
I was haunted by it
The time came for me to move along
And I chose to without hesitation

Born To Be Blue

Verse 1
Happiness is fiction
When all you've known is sadness
Smiling is possible
Only when it's forced
Laughter is poisonous
When you're subjected to ridicule
It's the only thing you hear
As you replay it in your mind

Verse 2
Love is over-rated
When you're indifferent to it
Joy is just another word
When it's not felt
There's no such thing as kindness
When you want something in return
Promises do not exist
When lying is the norm

Bridge
This is not a dream
It's as real as it gets
You feel low each and every day
Pain is the only thing you've known

Chorus 1
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
Born to be blue

Chorus 2
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
You were born to be blue
You had no say in the matter
You were born to be blue
It's the only thing you know how to do
You were born to be blue
I feel like I am just like you
I, too, am blue

Untitled (Possible Title: Journey)

Verse 1
In the age of loneliness
Getting through each day is difficult
In many ways it's dangerous
Dangerous to our survival
Not all of us can cope
With the hardships that we endure
A bridge and a river
Seem to be the only option

Verse 2
Handsome creatures are like trinkets
They all come and they all go
The glimmering shine starts to fade
It's value becomes questionable
So you engage in trading
Searching for something brighter
You don't know who you are
You can't determine what you want to be
No passion equates to no action
A driving force can get you far
Ambition and attitude can help construct your narrative

Verse 3
Assigning meaning to things
Makes us different from animals
But that doesn't necessarily
Mean that we won't act like them
Being careless and free
Is what many of us dream to be
Reality and its outcomes sometimes aren't dealt with
How the mind functions is truly fascinating
Everything begins and ends between the ears

Chorus
Half the world away
There's someone like you
In your position
But you'll never know
If you don't grow out
The journey is long

Verse 1
Unmade bed - in the dead of night
I want to be a bad boy in secret
Don't question what is going on
Admire me and what I'm giving you
You don't have to know or understand me
Repression will not put an end to desire
Aim for freedom, aim for connection
Dismantle the barrier which separates you and I

Verse 2
Reveal what's invisible to the naked eye
Don't be shy
Just give it a try
Hesitation is normal but it shouldn't scare you
Time is ticking away
You don't have all day
Cultivate a sense of adventure
Exploration is transformative
Pick a talent and use it well
Aim for freedom, aim for connection
A simple touch can lead to so much

Verse 3
Unmade bed - in the dead of night
Don't question what is going on
You don't have to know or understand me
Reveal what's invisible to the naked eye
Hesitation is normal but it shouldn't scare you
Aim for freedom, aim for connection

Chorus
Suppression of engagement
Is truncating your development
Reach out and make a move
Denial of experiences
Is not going to eliminate curiosity
Missed opportunities can transform into regret
Indulgence is a gift you give to yourself
Choose right, choose tonight

Simple Pleasures

Verse 1
Oh, a stranger
A stranger in the night
Venturing into an unfamiliar place
With one thought
Only one thought in his mind
To overcome the dullness of his life
With another stranger
Excitement can be elusive and fleeting
The element of surprise
Can be the beginning of joy
Disappointment is always a possibility
But as the say: Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Bridge 1
Transform yourself into an adventurer
Reach out and grab onto something new
Hesitation stands in the way of boldness
Reach out and reveal a part of you

Verse 2
Intentions always start with a touch
Sometimes what you see
Encourages you to make a move
With a smile and mutual interests
Talented tongues can be put to good use
Ecstasy can be elusive and fleeting
Descending from a high creates deeper longing
Rejection is always a possibility
But as they say: There is someone for everyone

Bridge 2
Make others feel all that you are
Reach out and grab onto something new
Inquisitiveness is a good quality to have
Reach out and express yourself naturally

Bridge 3
Discover what has been lacking in your life
Reach out and grab onto something new
Time never waits for anyone
Reach out and create new memories

Chorus
Life is full of simple pleasures
Unexpected and greatly rewarding
Cherish simple pleasures
The fragility of passion surrounds

Untitled (Possible Title: Flesh And Bone)

Verse 1
Your heights commands attention
I immediately take notice of you
Even in dim lighting
You know that I'm what you're looking for
Your boldness is manifested
Through the touch of my posterior
You've got a taste for pleasure
Without hesitation, you go down on me
Just where are you from?
I hear a slight accent in your voice
If you're not from around here
Take me away with you

Verse 2
After a brief interruption
You reappear with the same look in your eyes
The look of wanting, the look of hunger
Solo activity is unnecessary
External satisfaction is exactly what you need
My breath will coat your skin
You'll be rushing red
Let it flow, let it grow
If you must, let it blow
You'll choose the natural kind

Bridge 1
In the daytime, there's confusion
When the skies darken, clarity abounds
Excitement slowly rises
And reaches a fever pitch
On the beat of a desire-filled heart

Bridge 2
In the daytime, there's chaos and tension
When the skies darken, relief abounds
Excitement slowly rises
And reaches a fever pitch
On the thrust of a dogged-out man

Chorus
Oh, there's so much sweetness
And just a small amount
Can push you over the edge
The edge of flesh and bone
Which unites strangers like you and I
In a commonly uncommon world

Untitled (Possible Title: Anything)

Verse 1
You're a w-h-o-r-e
An ungrateful w-h-o-r-e
You'd spread your legs for anyone
If they offered you trinkets
You'd take them without hesitation
Placing limits is what you don't do
Any part of your body is what you'll use
Open your mouth, open it wide
Let others put whatever they want inside
You're a w-h-o-r-e
An ungrateful w-h-o-r-e
The glare in your eyes strike to the core

Verse 2
You're a s-l-u-t
An easy-on-all-sides s-l-u-t
The "Lights! Camera! Action!" type
If it's a though, it'll be acted out
And once it's acted out
It'll be repeated
you don't aim to please
And you don't aim to disappoint
You just do whatever comes naturally
You're a s-l-u-t
An easy-on-all-sides s-l-u-t
The smoothness of your skin electrifies the senses

Bridge
You're a w-h-o-r-e and you know it
You're a s-l-u-t and you feel it
You're a w-h-o-r-e and you like it
You're a s-l-u-t and you get it
You're a w-h-o-r-e and a hater
You're a s-l-u-t and a lover

Chorus
A kiss, a touch
Nothing is too much
You'll do anything
A lick, a f-u-c-k
It doesn't matter
You'll say anything
All places, all scenes
Eventually, anything goes
You'll never disagree

Let Go

Verse 1
Oh, what a night
Unexpected but good
Arriving early - just doing what I could
First kiss of the night
As a way to say "hello"
From a friendly guy who is really into me
A pissy man getting jealous and complaining
After seeing a naked man and becoming envious
Having better looks
Can sometimes get the claws out
And when people open their mouths
Garbage comes out of it

Verse 2
What a delight to see you once again
I've thought about you
Thought about you and your friend
Lift me up and swing me around
Be inside of me and make a joyous sound
Compliments are good
they elevate your mood
But action is so much better
Than opening your mouth
Nobody looks at me the way that you do
Your eyes are locked in
And draw me closer to you

Bridge 1
In the dark of the night
Excitement takes hold
In the dark of the night
Frisky fun begins
What I choose to do
Is always up to me
And I want to do interesting things with you

Bridge 2
In the dark of the night
Boldness takes hold
In the dark of the night
Freedom begins
What we choose to do
Is always up to us
Interesting minds are always curious

Chorus
Smart, funny and outgoing
Is irrelevant, is irrelevant
Exotic nature is in high demand
Reach down inside
And flaunt what you've got
No holds barred is the sentiment of the evening
It's undeniable
Unspoken, lingering in the air
Just let go - only if you dare

Believe

Verse 1
When you approach me
And ask me a question
Don't get jealous by my response
You have your opinions
And you have your judgements
Just don't expose them to me tonight
If you start drama
And create complications
You will be the one
Who others choose to ignore

Verse 2
Chatters of the insecure kind
Love to create stories
About their views of the world
However limited it may be
If you dwell on their behaviour
And what they perceive
You, too, will have a distorted mentality
A healthy dose of reality
Makes your senses function properly

Bridge
Your life is yours to explore
People with hateful intentions
Will bang on your door
Believe that you have the ability
To not let them in
Believe that you will love yourself
Even without fanfare

Chorus
Expression of oneself
Can cause the wagging of tongues
Believe in what you can do for yourself
Emotions, weak and strong alike
Can make you believe in anything
