Mass Romantic
Verse 1 He says "It's all about love" With relaxed confidence To a curious disbeliever It's a notion many are unfamiliar with So he explains himself delicately He doesn't want to convince you of anything As we all believe whatever we want "I'm just giving my opinion on the most important thing" "Love is everything" He said Verse 2 Lovers and all who are adequately loved Are part of a giant club It's not exclusive, anyone can join The benefits are plenty Being inspired has a domino effect Others will want to learn what you know Word gets around about the most important thing Even when it's difficult to find Verse 3 "It's what I need" He said with a grin Leaving the disbeliever confused "Without it, life is not worth living" "I want love in abundance" He said With a slightly raised voice Whether it's hugs and kisses or hand-holding It's beautiful in every form If disbelievers remain skeptical Perhaps it's not their time To know what love is Chorus It's in everyone who agrees and disagrees Traces of it linger in thoughts and deeds You can resist and push it away But mass romantic is here and it will stay It's the reason why we breathe Written by B.

Don't Come Knocking
Verse 1 I'm not charmed by your offerings And as such I enjoy every sandwich Keeping my sanity intact is important So I exclude myself from your madness Distance creates empty spaces which I'm able to fill with what I want And the things I need You better tend to your own backyard As the trash you've created Is becoming a mountain Verse 2 I don't struggle with addictions Being alone doesn't mean that I'm lonely What runs through my veins is true blood I don't pretend to be somebody I'm not You can't wound me with your words They're meaningless just like everything you do I strive for understanding and stillness of mind There's just no other way for me to be Bridge Don't come knocking Sorry, haters You can't take my eyes You can't carry me down I won't consume the fat of the land I'm interested in catching the moon An ambulance is on the way if you can't deal with rejection I won't be yours to hold I won't be yours to break Whatever people I am That's what I'm not Chorus Even though I'm different than most You think you really know me My complexities are far beyond your reach I live in a metropolis of passion and ideas I become visible to who I am Don't come knocking, for I won't answer Written by B.

Kingdom of Ten Thousand Things
Verse 1 Kingdom of ten thousand things Rock, paper, scissors Winners, losers and those who don't compete Flaunt your strengths, disguise your weaknesses How you want to be perceived must always be seen Verse 2 Kingdom of ten thousand things Rock, paper, scissors Leaders, followers and those on the sidelines Speak of your creed and your idols Let us cast votes to decide Who gets a chance at survival Black and white and grey Everything else in between that's open to interpretation Based on facts or intuition Build a case Then watch it fall down like a deck of cards Bridge The weight of the world could bury me into the ground Only if I wanted it to The height of my fears could swallow me whole If it wasn't for simple truths and illusions Kingdom of ten thousand things Winners, losers, leaders, followers And all who are nameless Remind us who you all are Chorus Whisper into my ears The sweetest dreams you've conjured up Fill my head with fairy tales Disarm me with your glare And soon enough your touch will be all that I'll ever want Written by B.

Avalanche
Verse 1 Rolling down Down towards me Covering me with its destruction I deserve it This massive blanket of snow Because I know that I've done wrong Verse 2 Gasping for air As I struggle to breathe This pain is far less than I deserve Digging my way out is futile I've played the game Now I'm paying the price Be still, my heart Seek that elusive silence Memories burn deep into my core Verse 3 Temperature drops Darkness settles in The end is near for me I can sense it Rolled down Down towards me Covered me with its destruction Cold, cold grave My final resting place I'd smile if I weren't frozen Chorus Avalanche Mighty avalanche, Mighty avalanche Avalanche Written by B.

Where The Humans Eat
Verse 1 This is where the humans eat They take advantage of the buffet One serving of CNN Two plates of The New York Times This is where they come to feast It begins when they wake up in the morning They have a bowl of Katie Couric Three slices of The Washington Post A sprinkle of The Drudge Report This is where they fill their stomachs Bridge 1 On the weekends, they don't hold back Wal-Mart rolls back sound judgement Sears captures their attention The ringing sound you hear is 'Ka-Ching!" Verse 2 This is where they stuff their faces Consuming as much as they can afford to More than one billion have been served They never close - no wonder they're still cooking Profits increase quarter after quarter It's hard to choose between Honda and Ford But when you're Warren Buffet it makes no difference Thousands work in drug marts Even though they tell us that drugs are bad This is where they smell, chew and swallow Bridge 2 Winners convinces them to spend So they won't end up like others If you make your bed Then you'll be forced to sleep in it Verse 3 This is where they become gluttons Taking whatever they desire Virginities and freedom of choice Sometimes both at the same time This is where lust is satisfied This is where addiction lives Walking right into death's house They can never escape once they're inside It's just like Hotel California This is where the humans die Bridge 3 Ringtones and cameras are winning the popularity contest More votes are cast on American Idol Than in a federal election Chorus This is where the humans eat This is where they come to feast This is where they fill their stomachs This is where they stuff their faces This is where they smell, chew and swallow This is where they become gluttons This is where lust is satisfied This is where addictions lives This is where the humans die Written by B.

American Life
Verse 1 Is it the land of the free? Is it the home of the brave? Is it one nation under God? If all of that is true Why is life expensive there? Why are many people so afraid? Why is the nation divided? Has God really blessed America? Verse 2 Celebrities are worshipped People want the inside scoop They want to know details about their personal lives But if the tables were turned Would you want to be splashed on magazine covers? Would you want to be talked about on the internet? Verse 3 I'll sue you at the drop of a hat I'll cook the books I'll hate you one day Then love you the next I will claim to be a Christian But support the death penalty I believe in the Constitution But there's no justice for all Should I call the cops if someone's stalking me? Or do I have to worry if they're corrupt? Verse 4 I pledge allegiance to no one It is within my right to do so I am a real patriot Let's go bomb the ones who hate us Let's celebrate our melting pot And be ashamed of our differences Let's lie and cheat and cast blame All this madness is driving me insane Chorus American life Carrying weapons in the ghetto Swimming in the suburb Raising children on the farmland This is as real as it gets Written by B.

So Much For The City
Verse 1 This city is just not for me It was never filled with possibilities Everywhere I go Is a place I should have never been Curiosity got the best of me I won't look back Homeless people walk up to me They get in my face begging for money They dirty up the streets They don't want to get a job Who the hell cares Cause they'll soon no longer bother me Verse 2 Dying is never a choice But living life certainly is So I choose to feel alive For the rest of my days And I will get a chance to Only if I'm far, far away Bridge The soul of the city is colder than its winter season Icicles pierced what was remaining of its barren heart Snow has blocked its eyesight The blind are leading everyone into eternal hibernation That's why the Queen owns this nation Chorus 1 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity So much for the city Chorus 2 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity I refuse to live under this maddening authority So much for the city Chorus 3 So much for the city That never was the place I thought it would be Politicos and special interests rule So much for the city Written by B.

The Beautiful Struggle
Verse 1 I am envy Not the green eyed monster you've been told of Instead I am money, greed, power, and control It's everything that I've always wanted in my life It's everything that's advantageous for me I can't live without it because I will surely die It's my lifeline, it's my heart and it's my soul Verse 2 I am lust Not exclusive to the bedroom The foyer is unique The beach is a cool rush I'm experienced I certainly know how to entertain I like giving and receiving It's a way to learn new things Partners come and go As they say, there's plenty of fish in the sea I search for ones who can hit my spot Verse 3 I am anger Sometimes the kind you've seen on a crime drama Maybe CSI, Law & Order or Robbery Homicide Division I'm ready to use my fists if I ever have to I will use anything that I can think of If you piss me off Rest assured, you will be sorry that you did I'm patient when it comes to releasing my rage I'm like a lion that's about to attack its prey I have hidden moves and tricks I'm capable of committing murder Chorus The beautiful struggle The wins and loses The good and the bad I'm human after all The beautiful struggle The ups and downs The laughter and the tears I'm human after all Written by B.

Everything You Need
Verse 1 I've noticed that you're not the same person you once were And it's becoming more difficult for you to stop changing You're just like a chameleon Constantly changing from one thing to the next Whenever you do that you become more of a stranger to yourself You don't even know who you are You're trying to figure it out But the path you have chosen will get you into trouble Did you know that? Verse 2 I'll be the first to admit That I truly don't know what you're going through But I understand that you're in pain And you want it to end That's why I've offered to help you Even though you want me to leave you alone I won't honour your request You're not in the right state of mind To realize that this situation is a matter between life and death What you need is someone who cares for you And I do Bridge You don't even know who you are You're trying yo figure it out But the path you have chosen will get you into trouble Did you know that? I won't honour your request You're not in the right state of mind To realize that this situation is a matter between life and death Chorus Everything you need is right in front of your face And that's me But you'd never realize it until it was too late I'll make sure that won't happen You screwed up, you failed, you crashed and burned Call it whatever you like But that doesn't mean you're not worthy of receiving help A friend is what you need Written by B.

The Truth Is...
Verse 1 You keep telling me to watch my intonation As well as my pitch, volume of speech and my pace My clarity and voice quality is better than yours I'm no longer in your class So start minding your own business Verse 2 Before I met you I heard stories about the way you were But I didn't believe any of them I wanted to see for myself if it was true Now everything that I'd heard was absolutely true Verse 3 You can take your poems, writings or whatever you own away You know where to shove them I don't want anything to do with you You are so fake I can see right through you You like to take credit for anything that you haven't produced Chorus The truth is I never liked you I only pretended for my well-being You are arrogant and have no empathy Once again, start minding your own business Written by B.

Be Heard
Verse 1 You are much stronger than they thought you could ever be You have your convictions And you're not afraid to act upon them You are much smarter than they thought you could ever be You have rights and freedoms And you're not afraid to keep them intact You are a citizen of this city, of this state Of this nation, of this world You should express your opinions in ways that you see fit Verse 2 Some people believe that you can only fight fire with fire Does that mean we should resort to violence to eradicate it? There are many other ways of getting messages across Boycotts and protests are a few of those ways You don't have to be the smartest person in the world Or the richest either to take action You need courage, determination, knowledge and support Bridge 1 You have the right not to care about anybody but yourself But the implications of doing so run far too deep and too long Bridge 2 Fight against hate, fight against lies Stand up for what you believe in Chorus Be heard Stand up for what you believe in No one can hear silence Fight against hate, fight against lies Use yourself as an instrument for good Written by B.

Killing Us Quietly
Verse 1 I have searched within these walls For secrets and for lies The officials have distorted the truth The common belief is frivolous Verse 2 Just by stepping outside your home Is dangerous to a degree Some people have too much power The weak, voiceless and vulnerable are suffering Verse 3 Anywhere one goes to can drain the life out of them And they won't realize it But if they do, it may be too late Because the ones working in the shadows have already won Bridge In this world, truth is stranger than fiction It seems like the past is creeping it's way into the future Do we have what it takes to reserve the damage that's been done? If the answer is no Then is everybody to blame? Chorus Many things are killing us quietly Who is reliable? Who is forthcoming? Will you bite the hand that feeds you? Would you accept everything that is given to you? Or would you not even care at all? Written by B. (Tuesday, June 18, 2002) Copyright 2002 |
A Thousand Country Roads
Verse 1 I'm making my way through the suburbs Moving quickly as people go about their business I watch children as they play without a single care in the world And soon I am flooded with precious memories Many moments you and I shared Verse 2 Now I'm heading through downtown Moving slowly as I make my way past the crowd There's an endless traffic jam And more people are getting frustrated as time goes by And soon I recall afternoons when we'd drive for miles We never knew where we were going to But at least we were together Bridge Time spent with you is simply amazing And I know best not to use it unwisely I am completely drawn to you I think I'm in love with you I'm making my way to you It could take days but that's the least of my concerns I'm a little surprised that I could think of other things Because you're always on my mind You are kind and honest, gentle and sweet I can't wait to be with you Chorus I would walk a thousand roads With my body covered in dust And my shoes filled with stones I don't care it if starts to rain Because I just have to see your beautiful face again Written by B.

On Green Dolphin Street
Verse 1 Is seeing really believing? Sometimes your mind can play tricks on you On Green Dolphin Street anything is possible Most likely you will be wrong if you assume anything Verse 2 Ghosts sometimes lurk around You might encounter a prince that once was a frog Wishing upon a star makes dreams come true And if you concentrate hard enough You can make time stand still Bridge When you'r'e here, you won't know who you are Because there's many illusions that will cloud your mind Having blind faith might do you good Or it might take away your common sense Chorus On Green Dolphin Street There's pots of gold at the end of every rainbow Dragons being slayed and unicorns All of the things that you would never believe Cowboys saying "Word up, y'all!" Pigs that fly Money growing on trees And all of the things that you would never believe All on Green Dolphin Street Written by B. (Saturday, March 30, 2002) Copyright 2002 |
Blue Highways
Verse 1 I am not a morning person I'd rather feel numb when I wake up Sometimes I feel worthless and angry Sometimes I'm too depressed to get out of bed I rarely get a good night's rest Maybe that's why I'm often tired I have a lot of problem that I need to address But I don't know where I'm suppose to begin Verse 2 Red means I'm cheerful Yellow means I'm hopeful Grey means that I'm in a state of confusion Blue is the colour that best describes me I feel it, look it and am it Bridge There are many bumps on the road As well as detours and dead ends Sometimes I feel like falling off a cliff Chorus 1 I'm travelling along blue highways Sometimes I race forward Or simply stand still The road goes on for miles and miles Will I ever reach my destination?

Shelter
Verse 1 From time to time, life is demanding Without any or very little understanding It can seem harsh and unfair at the same time Sometimes you feel like giving up You wonder what's the point of trying Losing is something that you're tired of But there's a place that you can call your own A very special place Verse 2 You've always had a longing to win You dream about what it would feel like You have watched others claim their prizes Sometimes you're too hard on yourself But you don't realize it Not being perfect is what you try to forget There's a place that you can call your own A very special place Chorus 1 A place to feel warm from the cold A place to get away from violence A place to be dry from the rain Shelter Chorus 2 A place to be all alone A place to put yourself at ease A place to forget about your fears Shelter Chorus 3 A place to feel warm from the cold A place to be dry from the rain A place to be all alone A place to forget about your fears Shelter Written by B.

Hello, He Lied
Verse 1 You thought he was the man of your dreams You envisioned him as being perfect He said he loved you Could not live without you And you believed every single word he said Well, he beat you Slapped you, called you dirty names And you didn't have the guts to run away You thought he was capable of changing But he's just as bad as he always was Verse 2 He directed his anger at you Mostly while being under the influence He was too cheap to buy a punching bag at the store So he used you as one instead He abused you, scared you, even threatened you And you didn't have the guts to run away You thought that you could change him But you wasted your time and energy Bridge Hello, he lied Why are you still with him He treats you worse than an animal Hello, he lied you should get some help He'll never be the man you always wanted Chorus Hello, he lied right to your face You never questioned anything he said Hello, he lied right through his teeth And that cost you to lose one of yours Written by B.

I can't remember when I saw you last Tell me which places you've visited Did you go sight-seeing Or did you sail around the world?

Are you tired from your journey?

Falling Angels
Verse 1 I never thought this could ever occur But it seems to me that angels are falling At first, I thought I was only dreaming Unfortunately what is happening is completely real They have turned their backs on us This is the time when we need them the most Verse 2 I've never encountered an angel in my life How would I know if one ever approached me? Why don't they acknowledge themselves at all time? People are starving, naked, homeless and lost What are we to do without them?

To Be Loved
Verse 1 You've been surrounded by people all through your life But you've never been close to anyone You felt all alone So each night you starred at the stars They shined brightly in the darkness of the night As as the light reached your eyes, you closed them And made a wish "I want to be loved" is what you said every night You hoped it would come true That's all you ever wanted Verse 2 You don't know what is feels like to be deep in someone's heart You're with them wherever they go They feel like they're at home But you felt like you've been pushed aside all your life Like you didn't matter at all You tried to stand out But nobody noticed you You felt like you were invisible Sometimes you wished you had never been born You wouldn't have to endure loneliness Chorus To be loved is all you ever wanted And you have yet to receive it It's like a battle you're fighting In which you always lose To be loved is all you ever wanted And you have yet to receive it You want someone to care for you And to love you for who you are Written by B.

A Day Away
Verse 1 Today is our day away We are going to play This past year, we've been working really hard And it's time that we reap the rewards We're taking a break from all the drama A change of scenery is most welcomed The sun is shining, there's a cool breeze Everything seems to be perfect We have sunscreen lotion and water We're as ready as we'll ever be Verse 2 Everything about this day is wonderful It's amazing! It's spectacular! It would have been foolish not to get away Think of all the things we wouldn't have done The sand is covering every inch of our feet We tried to water-surf but got washed away We're having a fun time soaking up the sun Having water-balloon fights Bridge Today is our day away We are going to play Everything about this day is wonderful It's amazing! It's spectacular!

A Place To Stand
Verse 1 I'm looking for a place to stand I've been sitting down for much too long As a result, my b-u-m is sore I don't mean to get in anyone's way I thought that somebody could help me But it turns out I was wrong Down where I've been is not where anybody should be For a long period of time The air is not as clean, people look down upon you Your sanity slowly drifts away Verse 2 I'm looking for a place to stand It's not as easy as it sounds But I am not going to give up There's a location where I'll be able to strive for excellence I'll keep searching for it until the say I die Down where I've been is not where anybody should be For a long period of time You become stressful, worn out and easily upset Confusion slowly invades your mind Verse 3 I know I could never be a perfect person I just want to be the best I can be If I don't stand and take control of my life I will not have much to live for I promised myself that I would give my all Whenever I had to get something done I will live up to my word I won't let myself down I'm looking for a place to stand Bridge I'm looking for a place to stand I don't mean to get in anyone's way Down where I've been is not where anybody should be The air is not as clean People look down on you Chorus All I really want is a place to stand I know that I can be strong Given the chance, I can be more productive I'm sure there's a place out there Written by B.

Be Very Careful
Verse 1 Someday tears can be laughter And pain can be relief If there is darkness in your life All of it might turn into light Someday prayers can be answered If you just wait a while But you should be somewhat cautious Be aware of what you wish for I'm not trying to control you I'm only trying to be a friend What I tell you is reliable It will help you in the end Verse 2 Someday losses can be wins Only if you play the game right And as you encounter fear Courage will help you prevail Someday problems can lead to solutions And everything is at ease But some things aren't definite So you have to keep on trying Some people that you meet will be your friends Others will continue to pretend They'll have no support to lend Verse 3 Someday screams can be chants Of a song stuck in your mind You will not be interrupted Your ballad will be heard Someday rags can turn into riches And you will be more self-assured Your efforts to reach success Prove that you have passed the test When you set out to do something You sometimes get side-tracked But that's no reason to quit You'll eventually learn from your mistakes Chorus Be very careful today There's so much I have to tell you Be very careful today Time always seems to slip away If you choose to listen to me You can cast sorrow away But if you don't give heed at this moment You'll only have yourself to blame Written by B.

Free
Verse 1 I sue to gather and form a circle at the end of every day And tell every person who was there that we'll get away someday Some thought that I was foolish And others thought I was right I tried to be optimistic Even if many people were hopeless Verse 2 Days were long and nights were very cold We used to huddle to keep each other warm I had friends but most were enemies They thought I was always misleading them It was very hard from the start Luckily most of us didn't pull apart It wasn't the time to give up I knew that I'd have my liberty Bridge In the end, I will cry tears of happiness In the end, I will stand and smile I will walk out on my own and run around I will get down on my knees and touch the ground Chorus I am finally free And I will never be a prisoner again I always ran and hid away But all those days are behind me Written by B.

Waiting For A Miracle
Verse 1 The one thing that I want Is to go over the top The sweetest days have all disappeared I'm still searching for each of them There is a longing deep inside of my heart It is unchanging So now I'm left to stand in the dark Verse 2 Joyrides have all come and gone Now this road goes on forever I am left with feelings of sorrow That one emotion sank real deep I feel like I'm going forward But time never moves a notch There are no fences around this place Resistance clings to my hands Verse 3 Night after night I think about you Are you on the other side of my river of dreams? It seems that you and me get lost together But you'll eventually lead yourself home If I continue to keep the faith Will you be there for all my tomorrows? That's all I need to know I am waiting for your response Verse 4 I'll make a wish that may last a lifetime But my chances will be one in a million I feel I should be starting over So I can have a brighter future But instead I'll sit around and wait Praying for solitude Hoping that someday things will change for me Chorus I am waiting for a miracle (oh yeah) I'm waiting to become king for a day This time I'm in pieces (oh yeah) Can somebody put me back together?

I Think About You
I think about you and ask myself how I could have been so blind I should have realized that there was something missing from the puzzle That something was a key piece And I quickly assumed that it was found The way you talked and acted threw me overboard I got a little tense when you came near or spoke to me My heart started to beat faster and my voice wasn't clear enough I think about you and feel a little misled You stared at me and I knew it was a sign But I didn't know what for I thought it might have been that you admired my contributions regarding certain themes for discussion And I also thought that you wanted to get close I had a choice on whether or not to disregard everything or to play along My solution was to take part in the process The operation included verbal attacks, moments of co-operation and feelings of intense imagination I felt a slap on the face when you told me that you were different Maybe I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions Or maybe I should be blaming you because you were in control of things I think about you and wish that I could have been your possession You have a good sense of humour And you are also beautiful That's why I fell for you in the first place The closest I ever got to you was when we shook hands At that moment, I knew what I was feeling was real The need to be connected to you grew more and more I just wish that my dreams would have become a reality Somehow I needed to know that we had a bond Without it, I felt confused Sometimes I thought I was fooling myself Other time I was thrilled that someone actually liked me If I could turn back time, I'd experience everything I went through once more But since that cannot happen, I'll just think about you Written by B.

I Put A Spell On You
Verse 1 At first you are running free Without any care in the world Suddenly you're grasping for air And you crumble to the ground The clock is ticking Your body is pleading for help Too bad nobody comes to your aid Luckily, your coffin has been made I place you gently inside Without feeling guilty The casket is sealed tight So now you can enjoy your rest But later on I'll have an urge That I should do it all over again Verse 2 I have completed my revenge But now I'm back for more I know that I am being greedy But I just can't help myself Maybe I'll let the others in on my secret Only if they promise to keep it to themselves But as long as I have you in my possession Nothing can go wrong The key has been thrown away Everyone else will be locked out In an instant, I bring you back to life Lacking gratitude, you try to break free with a strife For your punishment, you will endure pain Because I have total control over you Verse 3 You are now part of me There's no way you'll ever break free Try with all your might Watching you would be a delight I'll tantalize you forevermore Your presence will never be a bore All the memories of you will always be fresh in my mind Even when you are not near me Chorus I put a spell on you And now you're forever mine I put a spell on you That will last throughout time You can look for remedies But you will find none The power I have over you is much too strong Why bother putting up a fight? I put a spell on you Because I'm terribly cruel Written by B. (Monday, June 12, 2000) Copyright 2000 |
Everything But The Girl
Verse 1 Last night he telephoned her But nobody was home So he decided to leave a message The answering machine went on The message didn't take that long He put the telephone down Then there was a ringing sound He picked it up with great anticipation It was a cause for a celebration But he didn't know the party would soon end Verse 2 For such a long time He's tried to get in her mind But has failed at every attempt He still continues to follow his dream That one of these days She will come running into his arms He knows he has to prove himself to her It's not going to be that simple He tells himself that he's up for the challenge If only he knew that he wouldn't win Verse 3 He wants to complete his mission Nothing will stand in his way Will do whatever he has to He wants the girl to be with him He's not going down without a fight He'll play things rough to make things right Won't wait any longer He's hoping to win her love Chorus You might think that he has everything Anything that he could possibly want You might think that he has everything Anything that he could possibly need You might think that he has everything Anything he could get his hands on You might think that he has everything But he doesn't have the girl Written by B.

Time To Fly
Verse 1 When you need to take a risk But you can quit being a passenger You can finally take command When the train starts to roll by Don't even think about running for it You can be anywhere but here You can take off if you dare Verse 2 If you need to get away You should know what to do If I show you a path to reach a star Would you listen to me You're in luck because you don't have broken wings You can put your mind on hold When the rain starts to fall down Don't let it ruin your plan Verse 3 As you fly along with the wind You will be miles away from home But your journey will help you forget about it It'll be medicine for your pain If happiness is what you crave You have to remain in light Just follow the path to your destination Don't let the stars get in your eyes Chorus I guess it's time for you to fly Start to go your own way today Cease from pulling yourself backwards Written by B.

Rescue Me
Verse 1 Sometimes I get a little tense Even when nobody is around I think that I'm feeling this thing called fear I attempt to break free with all my strength But I get trapped inside There is simply no way of escaping So I call out to anyone If they'll help me to break away Verse 2 Sometimes I'm an army of one Other times I don't put up with the battles I may run and I may try to hide Even if I don't know where I'm going to I just hope that I make the right decisions I want to be the one who wins in the end Bad luck might be lurking away the corner Maybe it's about to make an attack Verse 3 Sometimes I am content Just knowing that I am somewhat like you I don't have to be as guilty as before Some of the pressure has eased off of me The outside is filled with many disguises There are many layers to sort out So what's the point of doing all that work When the strange and intentional untruths surround me? Chorus Rescue me from the freaks and the geeks Rescue me from the truth and from the lies Rescue me from the brave and the weak Rescue me from all of reality Written by B.

Heartbreak
Verse 1 I've been watching time slowly slip away The same thing I did yesterday I can never make it come back But I don't really care at all I remember a lot of things Like the times we shared together But now those are memories That are causing me a lot of pain I have many questions that go unanswered Sometimes I just don't want to know the truth I want my feelings to hide But I'm hurting deep down inside Verse 2 I remain in complete silence Sometimes tears express my mood If only it wasn't over between us Then I wouldn't have to be alone My arms frantically reach out I'm searching for a hold on you My heart lays in shattered pieces My tears glisten as they slide down my face I fall through empty darkness Even though I'm staring at the light Why do things have to be so hard? I try to move on but I always fail Verse 3 I feel so guilty for feeling so empty Maybe it's my fault for living this way There is this pain throbbing inside me The day you left is when a part of me died I want to reconnect with you Our union would be a dream come true All of the anguish is eating away at me My entire body is no longer free I try to turn away and start over But I'm missing a four-leaf clover In a moment of blindness, everything is pitch black I stumble onto the ground to find my tracks Chorus Heartbreak has been creeping up to me slowly It's piercing my heart And tearing my body apart Heartbreak has been driving me crazy I am frozen I just don't know what to do Heartbreak seems like it's been lasting forever I need medicine for my pain Anything that helps me heal Written by B.

Before You Sleep
Verse 1 If I yelled out for help Would you hear me And would you come to assist me If you were the only person who could rescue me What would you do if you had five seconds to make your mind up? if you yelled out for help I would hear you And I would come to assist you If I were the only person who could rescue you It wouldn't take me a long time to make my mind up Bridge 1 I know that some things have already changed But are you willing to work them out Is the distance too much to handle? Verse 2 We've spoken many time We've also laughed and cried on the telephone You told me what was going on there And I told you what was going on around here We keep on talking like everything is the same I think yo're trying to pretend that I never moved away Maybe you're pretending that you still want to be with me I want to know what's been on your mind Bridge 2 Things can work between us if you're willing to try Let me know if you are in it till the end Do you really want to throw everything away? Verse 3 Are you starting to have doubts about you and I? Do you think you've made a big mistake? All I want to know if I should let go of you If you want to hold on to the memories we've shared You know where to find me I'm not going anywhere You mean so much to me Bridge 3 I know that some things have already changed Let me know if you are in it till the end Everything seems to be fading away Chorus Do you think of me before you sleep? Am I in your dreams every night? Do you miss me as each day passes by? Do you wish that I would return to you? Written by B. (Sunday, July 16, 2000) Copyright 2000 |
How Lucky I Am
Verse 1 When I was scared and when I was alone You came to my side to soothe all my fears I no longer felt bitter The reason why is because you were my remedy From time to time nothing seemed worthwhile And I was on the verge of a breakdown I was a stranger in my own life Until you helped me become acquainted with myself Unfortunately, there are people who still need assistance They are still waiting for their lucky chances Verse 2 At one point, the taunts became too much to bear Then you came around to comfort me I've been betrayed by many people who claimed to be friends All those experiences left a huge hole in my heart I was constantly exhausted from hiding Coming in contact with others was terrifying You caught me whenever I fell That caused my pain to cease But there are still many who remain hopeless It seems that luck is not on their side Bridge Some dream of a smile that will light up their face Many think of the pain that life brings I know how they really feel Because I walked in their shoes for so many miles Chorus With you I know that anything is possible There is a winner inside of me With you, I know what happiness really means It feels like I'm sitting on cloud nine Before I didn't know that other people were trying to make it through It was hard for them because they didn't know what to do You have been the only one helping me along the way I put my trust in you knowing you're the person to rely on I'll try not to take anything for granted Because now I truly know how lucky I am Written by B.

Hey Little Walter
Verse 1 You spent many days riding your bike And many nights telling ghost stories Whenever you were with your friends having such a good time They they started to lie Giving you wrong directions to their tree house They kept on pushing you away They didn't want you around them How could they not realize what they were doing was wrong? Why didn't they stop and think about the way you'd react? Verse 2 Do you think about getting hungry And not having anything to eat? Do you think about getting cold And not having any shelter from the wind? Let me tell you something that nobody knows I was their friend a long time ago I didn't know that they were talking behind my back They though that I was the enemy I should have known that something was wrong But I was too blind to see Bridge You and I are strangers Maybe we will become friends Only time will tell Sooner or later you will have to trust someone Chorus Hey Little Walter, where are you going? I don't want you to be alone anymore Hey Little Walter, where are you going? If you runaway, I will run with you But don't go rushing into it Take all the time you need Written by B.

Better Than Ever
Verse 1 I'm strong again Before I was weak I looked around and everything seemed bleak I thought I'd always remain in solitude Now I'm better than ever Not a day goes by without a smile on my face There is no need to rush I'm going at my own pace Things feel like a dream but they are so real I'm better than ever Verse 2 I was all tied up There was no way out I was down on my luck for such a long time Then I tried again and I was set free Now I'm better than ever I never knew how happy I could be Maybe that's the reason why they say the best things are free My life is changing every day But I shouldn't be afraid I'm better than ever Bridge Things turned out for the best I'm satisfied with the outcome I would never want to turn back time I feel like I'm the king of the world But I know that I am better than ever Chorus I never thought that I could ever feel this way I'm having such a good time every single day Friends, laughter and smiles checked into my life Now I am better than ever Written by B.
