Unaware of Her Perfection
I see her appear from the corner of my vision
And I feel my back stand tall
I want to speak to her and express this feeling inside
I have no words to match at all
Her pattern remains untouched and fluid as she floats through time and space
I struggle to find my next move to make it look like I know what I'm doing
I can only attempt to rise and fall out of my stream of self-consciousness
While she remains untouched and fluid
Unaware of her perfection
Every move I make
Finds the dreaded second guess
While every move she makes is simply the best

I Dont Know Why I Write
I don't know why I write
I write every night
life can get confusing
Absolutely nothing is black and white
Gotta take a step back if you have to ask if it's alright
Life gets a little confusing when your living for the fun
every single nights fucked up and your alone when it's done
Life gets a little confusing when your living for the love
because the sacrifices we make can actually fit like a glove
If you want to live that life
Go ahead don't think twice
Regrets are the only thing that can break and ruin a life
I don't even know what I'm doing with mine

An Open Book
Read my life like an open book
These stanzas paint a picture
If you were given a single look
Would you find truth in these scriptures?
I see graves full fast
While the economy dives
Were run by our cash
What a sunrise
I'm sick of this place
I won't believe lies!
I don't know what to do
The problem is I think too much and
There's always a second guess
What's the problem?
Something to prove?
I digg myself deeper
I crave her touch
But she knows I'm not the best

Crazy Horse
Can't take the heat that I'm bringing to the table
Can't keep a crazy horse locked in a stable
I'm wild and free to do as I please
It's a little obvious the cops don't like me
I do what I want
Always how I feel
Can't shoot me down
When you know I'm, always real
No fake steps
It's too easy to chill
The beat I lay down
Will never stop
Cuz I'm ill
The beat I lay down is a guaranteed thrill
Here I lay just wasting precious time
but life feels too good, theres no point in asking why.
when the feelings home my body will collapse

I Cant Believe you're gone
I can't believe your gone
I know my presence will fade
Time takes it's toll on my mind
I'm trying to be brave
The dreams have not stopped
To me your memory is clear
But I wake every morning
Wishing you were here
I can't believe your gone
But it's my fault I left
Took my chance at life
Stepping forward into a mess
But I don't care
I know inside I'm true
I won't lie to myself
Id do anything for you

Bez
I'm not sure if I'm wasting my time
All that I know is this life is mine
I try to keep it simple
Ya know, B.E.Z
Filling every moment with positivity
Clearly we have choices at hand
Live it like your own,
Or follow chain of command
(obey)
Clearly you see I think too much
And clearly I see you drink too much
Clearly you see I took the punch
but I'm still making music because you only live once
Music is key
When your born it's in the air
People live their whole lives

No Book, My Loss
I admit I have no book
I'm sorry for my loss
But looking here and now
Is it really worth the cost
I don't spent my money well
Smoking too much pot
Good times with guitar and friends
That's really what I got
Jamming out
One soul one stage
Amazed and applauded as I misbehave
Why can't I make grades at school
It's something I don't know
Is it simply that I don't care
Or would I rather take the flow
Sometimes people call me dumb
As my peers choose their careers
Bug honestly a life like that
one of my only fears

Waiting for your Answer
Waiting for you
Kills me deep inside
But when I'm with her
My fires alive
Those in our way
Can run and hide
This world is ours together well thrive
It don't matter where we go
I hear the music and already know
Hit the dance
Let yourself go
Feel it in your heart
Feel it in your soul
The tension dimension is tearing me apart
Not to mention
I tossed out my heart
Wait for an answer
Still no reply
Did what I had to do

Moon Exercise
Check out the moon
Glowing so cool
I'll listen to a tune and think about school
Trying to catch up
Falling behind
Doing this as a makeup
So please grade kind
the moon is full
You can't fake that power
Feel the difference in the water while you shower
I don't really know where to go
Pen on paper makes easy flow
The moon
So sad, so alone, so cold
Forced to orbit this planet on it's own
No friends, no relatives or plant life
Just a cold, barren, empty rock (with no bud to light)
The moon doesn't stand a chance
Going against the sun
See her light shine one second your done

Lure
Lure me in
Holding me in contempt
Where to begin
Every single day we met
How do we win
With all the simple pieces I've kept
Memories help me float
Release pressure from my throat
I don't know how I cope
But I'm still in high hopes
Hoping for a chance or an opportunity
To find what I lost in pleasure & unity
Seen most things in my own community
Time to move on
Looking for you & me
where do I go from here
every direction I see fire & fear
Looking for a chair
