Echoes In The Abyss' by Talile Ali
i've never felt this type of thing
that i feel for you
your so much like me it hurts
you will never know this
because you are so much like me
i know how i feel about loving you
but you haven't even considered
how you feel about me
you say a lot about this and that
but you never pause to consider
the ramifications of being true
to yourself, to the world,
and to what you do
i wish i could have curbed myself
instead of feeling like this
but it is all out there doing what it is doing
echoes in the abyss

CRY FOR YOU...by talile ali
CRY FOR YOU
EVERY DAY SEEMS TO BE
THE SAME OLD WAY
WAKE UP IN ANGER
MAKE IT GO TODAY
BITE THE ONES WHO LOVE YOU MOST
AS YOU BARK
FELT LIKE YOU KICKED THEM ALL
IN THE DARK
I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO
I KNOW I TRIED TALKING
BUT THE TRUTH IS
THIS IS YOU
SO THIS DAY
I'LL TRY WALKING
WON'T BE LOVED

I'VE NEVER KNOWN...by talile ali
I'VE NEVER KNOWN A GIRL AS BRIGHT
I'VE NEVER KNOWN A GIRL AS TRUE
I'VE NEVER KNOWN A WOMAN WHO
MAKES ME FEEL THE WAY THAT YOU DO
I'VE NEVER KNOWN A GIRL SO SIMPLE
I NEVER KNOWN A GIRL SO KIND
ALWAYS GIVING STRANGE THINGS TO PEOPLE
WHENEVER SHE FEELS SHE HAS THE TIME
NO MATTER HOW I TRIED TO DISCOURAGE
HER FROM JUST PLAIN GIVING THINGS
THIS BABE JUST CAN NOT FIGHT HER NATURE
IT'S IN EVERY THING SHE BRINGS
SO IT'S I WHO NEEDS TO BE CHECKED
CAUSE I SEE THAT SHE'S ALL GOOD
SORRY I JUST DIDN'T GET IT
SHARING HER CARING IS UNDERSTOOD

DRAWING A NASTY HAND...by talile ali
DRAWING A NASTY HAND
LIFES A BITCH AND THATS A FACT
THE WAY YOU ARE IS REALLY WHACKED
SOMETIMES UP AND SOMETIMES DOWN
ALWAYS RUNNING YOUR MAN DOWN
GOT A MAN HOE ON THE SIDE
SAYS HE'S REALLY GOOD FOR A RIDE
DOESN'T MATTER THE DISRESPECT
WITH A JACKKNIFE & HIS OLD SPECS
ALL IS SENT TO RACK AND RUIN
AS YOU GATHER IN YOU TOMB
HOARDING WEALTH INSTEAD OF CARE
LITTLE WONDER YOU'RE STILL THERE
WASHED IN HEATHER, SOAKED IN PAIN
NEVER BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN
WHY WITH BLINDERS YOU ARE SCREWED

Railway Blues by Talile Ali
i use to hop trains
when drivers passed me by
it was just a way
of moving
from here to there to nowhere else
i'd travel on the rails
seeing the country rollin by
seeing the people livin their lives
seeing the world as it would collide
into the stars way past midnite
then break into a morning light
feeling the rhythym of the tracks
as it percussed against my back
as it it would click inside my mind
i those moments i was devine
from a moment here and there
was it an existence and a year
life is beautiful and it's queer

WOMEN GOIN CRAZY...by Talile Ali
NOT A SANE ONE IN THE BUNCH
THINK I'M GOIN OUT TO LUNCH
GOTTA AVOID THE CRUNCH AND MUNCH
NEVER REALLY HAD A HUNCH
WOMEN LOSIN ALL THEIR HEADS
TRYIN HARD TO GET IN BED
GONNA LEAVE ME LYIN DEAD
GOTTA LEAVE BEFORE THEY'RE FED
HOW THE HELL THIS MADNESS START
WHEN DID EVERYONE LOSE THEIR HEART
THIS STUFFS TEARING THE WORLD APART
SMELLIN LIKE ONE HELL OF A FART
WOMEN GOIN CRAZY
LOSIN ALL THEIR MINDS
WANTIN TO BE SHADY
IN THIS WORLD OF MINE

DEPRESSED.....by Talile Ali
I WAS DEPRESSED
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT
MY DENIAL MUST BE SO HIGH
I JUST CAN'T MAKE SENSE IN IT
I'VE BEEN LOSIN MY WHOLE SOUL
AND MY ENTIRE BELIEF SYSTEM
AS I AGE, IT ALL WILL OUT
NOTHIN TO CLAIM OR HELP RETRIEVE THEM
MY WORLD SEEM SO EMPTY AND LONELY
MY HEART IS SO TIRED OF GAMES
MY MIND'S SO WELL READ, THAT IT'S HOPING
SOMETHING HAPPENS REAL SOON AND NOT BLAME
I WAS DEPRESSED
AND I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT
MY DENIAL MUST BE SO HIGH
I JUST CAN'T MAKE SENSE IN IT
I GUESS IT IT GOT MUCH WORSE

Never Had To.....by Talile Ali
I NEVER HAD TO THINK TWICE ABOUT THE WAY I FEEL ABOUT YOU
I NEVER HAD TO THINK TWICE ABOUT IT AT ALL
I LOVED YOU FROM THE VERY FIRST TIME I SAW YOU
I LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT MY HEART CONSUMED IT ALL
I SAW EVERY DAY AND EVERY NIGHT I WAS WITHOUT YOU
THE IMAGE OF YOU MADE MY LIFE SO REAL
I TOOK TO YOU LIKE FISH TAKES TO WATER SO NATURALLY
IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF KNOWING I DID FALL
THE WAY YOU WALK, THE WAY YOU TALK
THE WAY I AM AROUND YOU
I AM A MOTH DRAWN SOLELY TO YOUR FLAME
THE WAY YOU TREAT YOUR FELLOW MAN WITH AND OPEN HEART AND DIMPLES

To Many Cons by Talile Ali
'Come on, Make a million! '
selling money notes
buying Forclosed housing
investing in hopes
make credit card payments
sign on a blank check
on these phony promises
running you into dept
as they just get richer
your tossed on the street
your house was forclosed on
got nothing to eat
millions have suffered
never to receive
a dollar of profit
from televised greed
they say you can do it
it's never been done
except by the bandits
in banks with a gun

THAT WAS REALLY THE PLAN...by Talile Ali
WHAT GODS GIVEN YOU CAN NEVER BE UGLY
IT REALLY IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH IT
WHATS ON THE INSIDE WILL ALWAYS COME OUT
OF THAT, THERE IS REALLY NO DOUBT
SO BEWARE
AND TAKE CARE
AND CONVEY THE TRUTHS YOU SEE
AND MAKE YOURSELF A BETTER PART OF ME
DON'T WASTE MY TIME
WITH BEING BLIND
COMMIT TO WHAT NEEDS TO BE
UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR HAND
DISPLAYING YOUR PLANS
WRECKING WHAT USE TO BE
WAS THAT REALLY THE PLAN
SO SAY I WONT STAY
DONT KNOW HOW TO PLAY
