This batch is from my latest compilation;"One Day..Sanctuary", which I feel is my best work yet. Yeah. Same old crap, only better.
This work is packaged under the pseudonym "Psychovoyager"
VERSE 1:
Let me go. Keep your hands to yourselves.
You have no right, no jurisdiction.
Stay out of my life. You can go to hell.
I have the power of my convictions.
You want to bend me to your will.You think that I'll just stand still.
CHORUS:(I don't want to get in your way.
all I want is my liberation.
Don't wanna hear what you gotta say.
All I want is my liberation.)
VERSE 2:
I have a hammer to shatter all chains.
I've got a fist to express my rage.
There's nothing you can do, 'cause I'll never change.You'll never see me in a cage.
I'll fight for freedom 'till I die.I'll show the world your way's a lie.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 1:
Don't let me down again.
Don't let me down again
I don't know if I can take
all the pain and heartbreak and sin.
If you let me down again
I'm gonna need some aspirin.
VERSE 2:
Don't let me down again.Don't let me down again.
Sick and tired of being disappointed
everytime you walk in.
If you let me down again
it's gonna get me under my skin.
VERSE 3:Don't let me down again.
Don't let me down again.
I don't know if I can take
all the pain and heartbreak and sin.
If you let me down again
I don't know if I'll ever get up.
If you let me down again
I don't know if I'll ever get up.
VERSE 1:
Everyone needs a space to call their own.
A place where they can be alone.
But not everyone can understand
the value of solitude on life's demands.
CHORUS:
(One day
my wish will come true.
And I will have my
Sanctuary)
VERSE 2:
Some people think it's just a silly dream.
Suffered by fools and their selfish schemes.
All they want to do is smother you
with their love and their values.(CHORUS)VERSE 1:
If I knew how to sing, I'd sing to you.
I'd write a great song, and make it blue.
If it don't make you cry, it'll take you
higher and higher.'Till you learn how to fly
and achieve your greatest desire.
CHORUS:
(If I knew how to dream,
I'd dream about you
I would fly without wings)
VERSE 2:
If I knew how to paint, I would paint a portrait of you,
using colors like pink, yellow, brown, red, green, and blue.
If it don't make you laugh, it'll reach deep
into your soul, and show you the path
inside, that will make you whole.(CHORUS)CHORUS:
(You are a parasiteeating me
inside out)
VERSE 1:
A little bit here.
A little bit there.
A harmless nibble
every now and then.
Some for you,but, none for me.
I'll let you feast
untill I cease to be.
(CHORUS)VERSE 2:
You're like a virus
inside of me.there is no cure
to set me free.There is no love
inside your heart.No reason to believeyou're ready to start.
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE:
Don't want your favours.Don't need your strife.
I don't want you
in my life.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 1:
You don't have to crawl. You've got your balls to the wall.
You're my butterfly.
You don't have to run, your back's to the sun, baby.You're my butterfly.
When you spread your wings, and take to the sky,
no one can see the beauty in it. No one but I.
CHORUS:
(Soft to the touch, bright to the eyes,
pleasing to the ears.
Sweet to the taste, and to the nose.
Soothing to my fears)
VERSE 2:
You don't have to cry, there are no clouds in the sky,
You're my butterfly.
There is no reason your love's out of seasonYou're my butterfly.
Your eyes speak a silent language, straight to my soul.
I won't pretend to understand it, but I know it's gold.(CHORUS)VERSE 3:You don't have to give up, if you know how to stand up.
You're my butterfly.
You're not a cherub, you've got to keep your head up, baby.You're my butterfly.
I'd give anything just to see you spread your wings.You're my butterfly.
You've got the power, you're the woman of the hour, baby.You're my butterfly.
VERSE 1:
Come and get me.
You know where I am.
Don't fess up on me now.
Baby, I thought you had a plan.
I am waiting
ever patiently,
but, you know the
anticipation is killing me.CHORUS:
(The chase is all important.
It's all that really matters.
For when it's all over,
it's all over.)
VERSE 2:
Almost got me.
You came pretty close.
You'll have to do better,
if you want my weaknesses exposed.Don't give up now.
We're having so much fun.
I'd hate to see this game end,
before we can see, who has won.
(CHORUS)VERSE 3:
I surrender.
Seems that I am yours.
I've emptied out my bag of tricks,
and I grow tired of the cause.
It is finished.
It's come to an end.
We no longer have to be enemies.
Now we can be friends.
(CHORUS)(The chase was all I wanted.
It's all I really needed.
But now it's over.
It's all over.)
VERSE 1:
I bought a bag of candy.
'Cause I need something sweet.
You know that chocolate's handy,
a little snack to eat.
When I'm feeling frantic,I bite into a bar
of creamy cocoa goodness.
Makes me feel like a star.
CHORUS:
(I know it's bad for me,
but don't you ever
take it away,
when I need it.)VERSE 2:
Gotta get my fix on.
'Cause it keeps me straight.
I want it all day long,
every moment I'm awake.I try not to panic,
when I'm out of fuel.
But if I can't stand it,
I just lose my cool.
(CHORUS)BRIDGE:I just can't live
without it.
I just can't live.
I can't imagine life
without it.
I can't imagine life.
(CHORUS)VERSE 1:
If I didn't know better,
I would swear you were here.
Lurking somewhere in my mind.
Don't know what you will find.
Try not to lose track.'Cause you will spend days in my maze.
Riddles that will puzzle you,
but won't make you feel blue.
CHORUS:
(What comes around and round,
goes around and round.)
VERSE 2:
There are many ways to bring
truth to light, shining bright.
Exposing all the lies you learned,
in the flames they will burn.
What you really need to do,is to see just like me,
deep into your very soul.
You will find virtual gold.
(CHORUS)VERSE 1:
When I look at you,
thats what I see.
When I'm touching you,
thats what I see.
When I think of you,
all I see.
What do I see in you?
I see red.
CHORUS:(The color of roses,
the blood in my veins,
emotions explosive,
red drives me insane.Red drives me insane.Red drives me insane.)VERSE 2:
When I lick your lips,
thats what I see.
When I spank your big fat ass
I seeWhen you sing to me,
all I see.
What do I see in you?
I see red.
(CHORUS)
VERSE 1:
I can't hold you back.
Can't change the truth you're after,
unrecognizable as it may be to
you and me.If I make you laugh,
then I can make you happy.
There is no other way into your soul,
and to my goal.
CHORUS:(But if your willing to learn,
I can teach you anything.
If you're ready to burn,
we can pull this world on a string.)
VERSE 2:
You think you know me well,
that you can see right through me.
But there'd be so much more,
if you could reach into my core.Consider all the options,
available and waiting,
like grapes on a vine,
destined to be turned to wine.
(CHORUS)VERSE 3:
You've listened to my case.
Now, you must make your choices.
Don't take your life for granted.
It's the soil, and seeds are planted.
You're gonna need some time,
to think and to consider,
the road that lies ahead,
it stretches out untill you're dead
(CHORUS) X 2(If you're willing to earn,
I can give you anything.
And if you never turn,
we can own this world on a string.
World on a string.
World on a string.
World on a string.
World on a string.
World on a string.
VERSE 1:
I know there are silent words,
that will never, ever be heard.
Inside yourself, lies the fabric,
of all that is, all that will be.
CHORUS:
(You are the truth.
You are the beginning.You are the end.
You are the lie.You are the enemy.
You are the friend.You are the light above.
You are Mother Superior.You are the darkness
that will nurturethe interior.
Ah.)
VERSE 2:
Searching for truth and answers,
elusive as a cure for cancer.Can't find myself in the mirror,
inside out, upside power.
CHORUS:
(I am the truth.
I am the beginning.I am the end.
I am the lie.I am the enemy.
I am the friend.I am the light above.
I am Mother Superior.I am the darkness
that will nurturethe interior.
Ah.)
VERSE 3:
Infinitity flows through our veins,
giving the lie to our names.
Like drops of water from the ocean,
all are one continuous motion.
CHORUS:
(We are the truth.
We are the beginning.We are the end.
We are the lie.We are the enemy.
We are the friend.We are the light above.
We are Mother Superior.We are the darkness
that will nurturethe interior.
Ah.)
VERSE 1:
First time I saw you,
I couldn't stand the sight.
So big and so fat, you just didn't look right.
But, since you lost all that weight,
I just can't live without you.
So gimmie that love,
while I sing the big girl blues.
VERSE 2:You used to eat
five - six meals a day.
I'd say, "whoa there, honey,
leave some for friday".
But since you lost all that weight,
I just can't live without you.
So gimmie that love,
While I play the big girl blues.
VERSE 3:When I took your picture,
You filled up the screen.
Couldn't believe my eyes.
I needed visine.
But, since you lost all that weight,
I just can't live without you.
So gimmie that love,
while I sing the big girl blues.
VERSE 1:
I saw you staring at me,
from the side of your head.
I saw you smiling at me.
I heard what you said.
CHORUS:
(You think you've got me
just where you want me.
You think it's gonna be easy.
Don't count on it.
You gotta do better than that.)
VERSE 2:
You bought me candy,
and sent me a rose.
You tickled my fancy,
massaged my toes.
(CHORUS)You got inside me.
Took a look around.
Saw what you could see,
and kept what you found.
CHORUS:
(I think you've got me
just where you want me.
Think it's gonna be easy.
Don't count on it.
We gotta do better than that.)
VERSE 1:
Cheap thrills
are more expensive
than they used to be.
The best things in life
are no longer free.
The wages of sin,
they get higher
every year.
You lose or you win,
but no one seems to care.
VERSE 2:
Sweet dreams
are more important
than reality.
The here and now
is no place to be.
When nightmares come true,
there's no place
left to hide.
You make up your mind,
and take your fears outside.
CHORUS:
(No matter how hard I try,
it just aint good enough.
No matter how much I scream,
it just aint loud enough.
No matter how much I cry,
it just aint sad enough.
No matter how much I fight,
it just aint hard enough.)
