Happy, Ugly, Brutal

 
These are my happy, ugly, brutal times
Syria’s on fire and we got freedom fighters in the streets
Libya is the modern day Alamo except with barely any protection
While the bodies are dragged through the streets a video is to blame
 As the caskets are rolled in we take a moment to reflect
On what we really know what killed them
 Osama bit the bullet and New York rejoiced with one raised fist
 Twin Towers that fell into the ground have come back up
Coming straight from the ashes, rising like a phoenix
While its people shouted “we will not be afraid”
Going from gathering in the streets for comfort
To gathering in the streets chanting victory
If there was any chivalry left, it’s dead and gone
Just turn on your TV and follow a campaign
The time of hope and change has passed
And people are still at point A and back to the drawing board
We are at the crossroads of our time
One way is gonna bury us and another way is gonna raise us
These are my happy, ugly, brutal times.

Let Them See

Head against a window
Mind is up in the clouds with cars going by
Followed by a procession of cars all heading one direction
We got our nicest clothes on for this occasion
The air is hot and making it hard to breathe
The hearse leads the way down the long road
As I ride in the back, my head up against the car window
Cars pass by my motionless face      
I say let them see cause I’m not gonna hide it.

Empty Grounds

I feel like a soldier marching on
Satisfied in what just happened
The grounds are almost closed
Although there are still people around
The path ahead of me is clear
I’m so relaxed that in my head these grounds are empty
And hope is more than just a feeling but instead a reality
It’s filling up around me and bursting out of me
Hope has come and It’s here to stay.

Runner Up

Just didn’t quite make it
Showed what I had to offer
Apparently I just didn’t have enough
My “all in all” didn’t cut it either
It’s an annoying feeling really
Being so close and losing something
That you want and would fight for
I guess I’m the runner up.

We All Bleed

No matter what we go through in our lives
The troubles, the self doubt, the plans that fall through
Our best laid plans crashing and burning in a fiery display
Funny isn’t it? We think were so different from each other
That may be true in what we eat, what music we like, and what not
But when you pick through all those useless differences
All the things that make us unique among each other
It comes down to this. We all bleed and we all feel for each other
It’s strung in our DNA and we can’t get rid of it.

This Feeling I Get

Sometimes it happens
Every once in awhile I get this feeling
It just invades my psyche and soul
I guess you could call it a second wind of some sorts
But it’s more than a second wind
It lasts longer and it is more substantial
Like a adrenaline needle times a hundred
But with no side effects and only positive effects
Always coming at just the right time for me.

Don't Wanna Leave This Dream

I’m floating above the troubles of life
Gliding over all the pitfalls that it presents
I can see my life as it is meant to be
I have no fear and a comforting lack of direction
Everyone gets along and everyone helps each other out
To me dreams can be better than life at times
They can give you a glimpse into your mind
Of where you want to be and where you are at the moment
I don’t feel like leaving this dream anytime soon.

Yelling For A Hero

Throughout the city yells ring out
“we need a hero!”
But who is gonna listen to them?
Who is going to give up everything for them?
No one is stepping up and no one is taking a bow
Every person is in it for the greed
A backstabbing waiting to happen to the unexpected
Only one comes with no sly trick, or slick mind
No double purpose or hidden razor
He is called a savior in the city and is
Known as one even after he passes away.

Scrapes and Bruises

We’ve all felt them and gone through them
We know what they are and the feeling of them
It’s what you get after hard work and determination
That pain you feel is just recognition of accomplishment
Life takes nicks at us and those forms into scrapes and bruises
With my skin scraped open and some bruises on the side
Push on through the pain.

Comeback Kid

On a desolate street named broken
One lone kid walks around lookin for a challenge
No one knows about him just some nobody they say
They all say he won’t last but the kid knows otherwise
He won’t take no for an answer even when getting beat
Getting beats a normal part of his life
Getting up is an even greater part of his life
When people ask “who is this kid?”
He’ll answer “I’m the comeback kid.”

Lofty Goals

Like skyscrapers loom in the sky
My goals tower above me, dead eye staring at me
The pressure is ridiculous and I’m sick of it
These lofty goals are ruining me and I can’t reach them
It doesn’t help that over half of them are impossible
I feel like I’m in a cage running in circles
In one of those padded rooms you see in asylums
Just so I don’t do something stupid
Maybe it’s time I make my lofty goals into something else
Maybe possible goals would be a good start.

No More Waiting

Life is not meant to be waited on
It’s meant to be taken advantage of
It’s a gift that shouldn’t be wasted or thrown away
Every breath we take is a display of a miracle happening
Our heart beats to the speed of our life
It’s a built in metronome that is made for a fast pace
Our hearts should be clocking out at max speed
No more waiting for things to fall into our lap
It’s time to make things happen.

Edge of a Needle

Tiptoeing along the needle I look down
Below me is chaos, despair, and no hope
All it takes is one gust of wind or one push
And I go spiraling down into the pit
My nerves are on a needle are they’re about to snap
Nerves? Actually I got none left, they’re all numb
It’s gone past my nerves and got into my head
The edge of a needle is no place to be.

Broke Free

Gone is being dismal
Gone is self doubt
Gone are the scares or creeps of life
I’m living now instead of dying
Breathing in life instead of choking out death
From this prison of depression
I’ve made my escape
And I’ve broke free.

To Many to Let Down

I feel like I’m being stretched way too far
I’m doing all I can but it’s not enough for me
I got this pressure bouncing around inside, causing damage
I’m doing the best I can but I feel like I’m failing
It’s an unreachable goal that can’t be met
I would need to build a tower of Babel to reach it
Even then I don’t think I’d reach it
There’s not enough time and the box is closing in
There’s just too many to let down, to many to let down.

Sick Of Lying

I hate that smile I have
That fake one when I lie
It tears me up and lets me down
I’m just digging a bigger hole for myself
One that I might not get out of
I gotta get out before it fills in on top of me
This disease called lying is gonna go global
Looks like I caught the pandemic and am among the many.

City Watches Me

As I’m skating down the sidewalk
Listening to my own skateboard
As it click clacks the lines in the sidewalk
I’m rolling through the city, through the night air
I’m at peace, feeling like I’m right where I should be
The city is my playground and I feel like it’s watching me
At night it seems to come alive or is at peace at least
It provides with a rest while I sit on its curbs
Shelter with overhangs of buildings pointing towards the sky 
As I skate I know the city watches me

Mind of a Shell Shocked Individual

It’s the most complicated thing ever known
He goes on without sense of bearing of what is
Or what could become of his life
In fact he doesn’t know what has become of his life
Lost in a storm of the century he’s swirling
There is no life raft or no help in sight
No may day and no time for a call of help
It strikes suddenly and without remorse
Welcome to the mind of a shell shocked individual.

Prism of Fate

Surrounded on all sides
My fate is watching me, snickering
Hoping I make one misstep that veers me off a cliff
I’m surrounded by it I can’t break out
This prism of fate is all a mind game
The mind game is becoming real however
It’s not blurring its breaking the lines between dream and reality
Soon it’ll break free and have reign over me
Welcome to my prism of fate.

Meant to Fall

It’s hardwired into our psyche
Don’t be mad if you fall from life
Even if you fall away many times its part of life
I would know, I’ve fallen and lost sight of everything
But through all of my failures and all my mess-ups
I now know we are meant to fall
We are meant to fall so that when we get back up
We come back stronger than ever to take on whatever
So next time you fall just remember one thing
You’re meant to fall but you will get back up.

Wasteland of Thought

There’s a place in your head
It’s were all your thoughts that don’t work
To crazy to make sense, roaming looking for reason
To different at the time or just not right
It’s were you dump all your troubles
All your failures and all your hopelessness
And hope they go away
But in the end they just come back
Stronger than ever and looking to dig in
Maybe it’s time you empty out your Wasteland of Thought.

Robbed

About to finish it strong
Carrying it to the end all the way
All the loose ends have been tied up
Success is inching closer and closer to me
I’m getting ready to celebrate and rejoice
Then out of the corner of my eye I see something
It’s sneaking ever so slightly out of view
But then in a matter of seconds it whips in
And robs what I was going to have earned
I’ve been robbed

Need to Stop Fighting


It’s only killing us and costing us to much
There’s no benefits only body bags and torn tissue
Hearts are thrown out the window and made obsolete
Sense and sanity are causalities to it
It doesn’t take a genius to see where this leads us
World peace may not be attainable in a sin ridden world
But if we don’t try it’ll take over and win
We can’t shrug our shoulders anymore and say its human nature
If it is human nature then we must shed that part of us
We need to stop fighting before it’s too late

Heart On Fire

My hearts on fire
Soon it’ll be ash, nothing left
If you don’t ever have that feeling, go and find it
I’d rather have my heart on fire for something
Then have it cold and lifeless for nothin
It’s what we are meant to do and it’s what we have
Emotion drives us forward and carries us from moment to moment
It tears us down and builds us up all at the same time
My heart is on fire and I hope it stays that way till I stop breathing

My Nightmare

As he’s sitting down on the curb
Broken, tired of losing everything he has
He sits up and takes a deep breath
He thinks of all he’s lost of what he use to have
Of the soul and spirit he use to have
Hes known as a failure and amounted to nothing
His memories of a cherished childhood is all he has left
That’s my nightmare.

Lost And Found

I was lost out in the alleyway
Discarded, broken, on my last limb
I looked fine but inside I was hurting
I had the word lost burned in my heart
And gone on my brain
I shouldn’t have made it
Should’ve stayed in the lost box
But some people found me and snatched me from it
One person in particular came from nowhere
And now I’ve been lost and found.
