How Long?
02:33
|

“How long have you been in love?”
I have to ask myself in this lull
I wonder – when will it be enough?
When will you entertain the thought of never needing anyone?
You – look what you’ve gone and done
Tramping from pillar to post so that you’re not alone
Not healthy – no, it’s not even close
Heart broke too many times without (any) rest just will not work
I tried to ascertain
What it’s about – I scream and shout!
If I learn anything, it’s that I’ll never learn…
And now, now that you’re out of love
What form of discipline will you employ?
I wonder, have you considered above?
You need to stop and think and let your Dad take care of it all
The tale doesn’t stop right there
As it turns out, it all works out!
I wear ‘the One ring to rule them all’!

Love My Brother
03:29
|

When I met you I wished to meet your mother
Is it wrong to say I wanted to be your lover?
Youre hurting me more than anyone other
I love you, but you love my brother
Why does he get all the girls?
Even mom likes him better than me… stupid brother
My brother gets a new girl every week
Head boy at school and captian of the first XV
When he saw you, to him you were just another
I love you, but you love my brother
Why does he get all the girls?
Even mom likes him better than me
I’m so hurt, my hair’s dyed black
My favourite band’s My Chemical Romance… stupid brother

Dear Diary

Dear Diary – how are you?
I had a wave hit me today
I was swamped with decay
I had collapse inside of me
It is itching
If I seem to be upset
Just don’t judge on the colours left
I would raise a little smile
If the pain were through
It’s as bad as it could get
I call this pain-feel “walking death”
The title’s grim but true
But I’m not dead
Not yet
I’ve got a fight left in me
I won’t go to forever
with this on my chest
I am mental steel
I aim for bliss
I was meant to take
much more than this
When a smile, it brings you pain
And your head won’t lift again
When you tell a joke it stings
But politely
You smile to make it fact
You get awards for such an act
A minute lasts as long as three
Your thoughts consume you
You become deaf, dumb and blind
You dreams look at you and snide
I feel black
But I’m not dead
Not yet
I’ve got a passion left in me
That will see me triumph
and lay this to rest
I am mental steel
I aim for bliss
I am meant to take
much more than this

Now it’s time to move on
But, before we say so long
Let us reflect back
To the days when we took the flack
On the town at nights
Hell, did we have some fights?
And the girls under those lights
Boy, was that a sight!
So, do I have to say goodbye?
Could this just be a lie?
What a life this has been
With some of the things we have seen
So, do I have to say goodbye…?
Now on we move
Our separate ways
With nothing left to say
Maybe for that we will pay
And return we will all one day
And then we’ll have plenty to say
Maybe all heading the same way
This could happen some day

The Setting Sun
02:36
|

As this year meets the setting sun
Over my shoulder I peer at this one
Another chapter in a story bright
I’d like to think I got this one right
Was it the search for a soulful mate?
Was it a Rumble that made it great?
I’ve done it before – I’ll do it again
Once more ‘round the sun again!
I like to think that I got it right
I grew an inch more in my lean to the light
I found a wife and found a new best friend
A simple change that has no end
I had a blast in a touring band
I got to shake big Buster by the hand
Thanks to the Rumble and my new found friends
Perhaps we should go ‘round the sun again?
This one was best only one month in!
There is no doubt now I’m near the end
How should I go about beating that?
Getting hitched might put me on the right track!
So as I head towards the rising sun
I peer ahead at the next one
I said it once – I’ll say it again
Maybe once more ‘round the sun again!

My sunlight on your fallen sky
My moonbeams, on your setting smile
Like brothers, we are meant to be
Aggression, forming naturally
Forgiveness equals compromise
In my other brothers eyes
Forgive me as I bring you pain
I do it at a personal gain
Who’s gonna take you apart and put you back again
Pieces missing only then you’ll be my friend
Sworn enemies with reasons not to be
Lie closer now it’s my Lobotomy
I’m watching over passive skies
I’m searching for aggressive eyes
I’ll push you, and then you’ll push me
The feeling, Oh so naturally,
Keep pushing, if it takes my life
My seven sons to sacrifice,
The only hand I give to you
Is bloodstained and unshaken too
