@ALBUM: GYPSY KYSS-WHEN PASSION MURDERED INNOCENCE

@SONG: WHAT I FEEL
You must know how it feels to belong
Yes you, the fortunate one : So much in demand
So much in want
Maybe you can't see the light in my angle
But I can and I know how it feels
To belong to myself

You might know how to speak the language
And you might know how to suffer it
Yes, maybe you know things that I don't know
More likely just things I've abandoned

All your painted words
Without truth expressions
In your little world
Of acting example

And that's what I feel
About places and speeches and social appeal
Of rumours and judgements and greasing the wheel
I'll have nothing for you 'til you feel what I feel

It's strange how you and I are so different
And it's sad that we can never agree
We will never find a solution
When yours is you and mine is me

We could sit and speak
Letting our words do their dances
Aware of only threats
With dangerous glances

It's what I feel
About places and speeches and social appeal
Of rumours and judgements and greasing the wheel
You'll have nothing for me 'til I feel what you feel
We'll have nothing to gain 'til we learn how to feel
Can't we feel?

@SONG: FAIR IS FAIR
His whole life rest on the table
The game's worth betting on
And he hasn't lost that much
Seventeen is hard to cradle
He said, "Dealer, I'll take another one...Damn..."
22 and bust

When it all comes down
All in love and war is fair
When it all comes down
You win. You lose. And what's fair is fair

(Man at the plate says,)
"Let's see what you got there pitcher
Burn me with a flick of your wrist
Boy, I'm gonna send this on to China!""
The pitcher threw and the batter missed)

She took everything when she left home
Just enough money to get her anywhere
She screamed, "You took everything inside of me
Now what's yours is mine while fair's still fair"

@SONG: CONFUSED ( AS ONE IS BY THE OTHER )
Confused together
As one is by the other
When two can't come together

Press my face against the glass
I wonder how long this one will last
We struggle through and struggle on
I feel so weak when I was so strong

And I'm confused
As you're confused
With us

Hold it in or let it out
With tongue in cheek or foot in mouth
I'll let you go...to stay the same
Now crystal tears call a blue eyed rain

And I'm confused when you're confused
And I'm alone when you're alone
It makes us part of one another
And in that sense we're still together
Just confused, just confused

Confused together
As one is by the other
When two can't come together

I awoke at the feet of God
He gave me life when I was in the rot
He cleared my head and cleared my path
Script in footprints running from our past

@SONG: PECCAVI
In the struggle of surviving life there is but one goal;
One purpose
To suffer, endure, and remain
And with time such challenges become a matter of course
To face, overcome, and leave behind

But, with what reason does God choose to inflict so many hardships on me?
For the sins of Cane on Able? Or was it for Adam and Eve?

Peccavi, peccavi
Let them then suffer
Punish them for the things that I do

Suppose it is my bitterness that causes such things?
The power of Karma with fingers of ice
Then dare I not speak with words in vain;
In tongues of anger with blood red snake eyes for the lord
will surely strike me down

But for what reason does God trip my stride and lay weight on my back?
For the sins of men who cripple and stab?

Peccavi yes I have sinned
But, burden them as they have burdened me
Peccavi yes I have sinned
Yet, I am pure in heart but, left with them it would surely bleed

God damn it.God damn them
I'm so sick of it all

If pain is what makes your garden grow, then just fertilize this garden flower
If this is all life's got to show, then death shall be my finest hour

Forgive me lord, as I speak in vain
Our father who'art in heaven hallowed be thy name
But, is it too much to ask you to free me from this hell when
Thy kingdom come,thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven

Peccavi, peccavi
Let them then suffer
Punish them for the things that I do

I have sinned
I'm so sick of it all

Do you caress with a tainted glove?
I cannot see through a painted lust
Please free me from these chains of love
That tie me down through sweat and rust

@SONG: HUNG BY A THREAD
So here I stand : Face to face with the world
So curled up in reality : Suffocating in the womb of moral receipt

Often I feel the blood as it flows through my veins
Gushing life through my heart. Pumping thoughts to my brain

Hang myself out like a sheet soaking wet
For I long to feel winds that I haven't felt yet

Sometimes I feel I'm hanging by a thread
Burning candles at both ends
Close to falling off the edge
Sometimes...
I don't know if I can hold on anymore

Now, I stand accused of all the things that I've done
But my violence here is in protest : For I'm not a guilty one

I only believe what I see fit to believe
I pretend to be desperate to get what I need
And I'd raise my fist to the injustice I'm faced at
But, I'm unable to fight with my hands tied behind my back

So hang me up high, in a tree, facing north
I'll be burning my bridges as you're slapping the horse

It's too late to run
And it's much too late for running away

You see it in the eyes of caged animals
You see it in the faces of women scorned
It's not anger that makes the cobra strike
It's fear and only fear through which hatred is born

You see, it's sitting here in silence where bitter thoughts are sewn
It's one free life and sanity we want sacred as our own
But there are other planes I'm looking for in my search for peace & truth
It's the shadow of fear and hatred that has put me in this noose

@SONG: WALK ON THE WATER
You walk the earth for simple pleasures
You're a little green and your love is blue
And the fact that you can walk out on me
Proves the rule : Your love's not true

So, if you can run from heaven
And slow down when it makes you sad
Stand tall, if you think you're ready
Let's see you walk on the water
Walk on the water

Put away your passion
Set aside you sacrilege
Erase your emotion
Go ahead, jump of the bridge

You can turn from cheek to cheek
And you can run away from home
But, the fact that you can come to me
Proves the rule : You're never too old

@SONG: WHERE DO YOU GO
Where do you go when you leave me alone
Is there someone else or somewhere else
You go to when you walk out the door

And if words were enough
Enough to hold you here
I'd speak in a language that longs
For love without all the fear

And I need to know
The road your thoughts wander on
But, when you're always leaving
It's hard to tell where you're coming from

Where do you go, where do you go
Where do you go when you leave me alone
Where do you go

How many times must you leave
How many times until you see
The longer it takes to find yourself
The sooner I'm lost behind 'yourself'

How much will it cost you
And how much will you spend
While you're walking on and on
I'll break before you bend

Sometimes, when I'm dreaming
I dream that you tell me
Tell me that you need me
And that you'll never leave

@SONG: FROM HERE
The shimmering on the water leaves the outline of a stranger
A silhouette of anger and disgust
His words are cold as ice with syllables of isolation
Defining his own hatred and disgust

You can see the edge of his words From Here
You can see the edge of the world From Here

A veteran of living, he's no babe in the woods
He's learned to walk; He's learned to fall down
He'll lend a hand to no one
In fear of a two-faced con man with a contract on the run

Some say he belongs to the wind
He starts where the end begins
He won't fight for love; He threw it all away
It's just a dangerous game he's learned not to play

@SONG: ONE WAY OUT
How many times must I tell you
Tell you to leave me alone
I'm not gonna fight
Huh, I couldn't take you alone

And I know you know how to get me down and break me
You could leave me face down in the dirt
But, you can't take away my spirit
And I won't forget about the hurt

There's only one way out
I can't find my way around
There's only one way out
That's through you

It's an eerie confrontation : Me against myself
And I kinda feel strange
We are one : The same man
Is one of us ever going to change

I live day in, day out by your rules
You live and pray on the channels of my mind
I wrack my brains to get rid of you
The spirit that poisons me inside

Release the night, release the night
You son of a bitch what must I do
I'm in a corner hidden tight
And the only way out is through you

@SONG: SUNSET
I remember way back when
We'd walk barefoot in the sand
Nothing could ever stop us
But, we never stopped to think and who cared about tomorrow

Days that summer stained
Eyes that filled with rain
The past is all too swallow
Now that you're gone

I wil never forget
Sunrise, Sunset

I said the words
You made no promises
I'd paint the picture
You'd draw the line

Bonds of love don't hold you down
They hold you together
I see the rise; You see the signs
I see the fall

Things will happen that I just can't explain
The more I give to you the more you keep taking away

I've paced a thousand floors
I gave it all and you still wanted more
A passion for fire
With a fear of the flame
