Your Leader

I am your leader.
Follow me to the promised land.
I'll deliver you from the scum that fills the earth.
My wrath to scorch the world.

Your leader here to fill with fear,
the scum that takes us now our honor smears.
It's time forme to clean the trash.
The leaer now is useless,
and cowers so fast.

I'm your leader now we'll conquer need,
destroying all that displeases me.
I'm tired of waiting for change that's not there.
A nation of cowards that fear the very change of the air.

Your leader is here now bw at my feet.
If you don't like what I do you'll feel
pain and anguish so true.
I will not take this further disgrace.

A Memory

I close my eyes and see you there.
A beautiful memory that really is so rare.
I remember you so very well.
To this day you have me in your spell.
I hope you're doing very well.
No ills on you have befell.
I rermember all the times we had.
All the good with little bad.
What we shared was really rad.
Now I feel so very sad.
You're not here,
Through my head a lonesome spear.
I truly long to have you near.

I close my eyes and see you clear.
Cherishing the memory I hold so dear.
A bond so strng with nothing wrong.
Since that time it's been very long.
Time has passed and still it lasts.
A picture of you that fills the past.

Dreams

You're always there with in my dreams.
Oh what joy could be the wonderful things.
My hopes and wishes al fulfilled,
my endless prayers answered God has granted his precious will.

But in my dreams it's never so.
Dark turns they take pushng hope below.
I lose you just like in real life.
Disappearing causeing anguish and strie.

In my dreams you're always just right there.
Beyond my grasp It makes me so damn scared.
I always know that when I turn my back,
I'll turn around and the future fades to black.

In my dreams I feel you so.
Sometimes good but mostly no.
I don't know what these illusions mean.
A psychic message or a subconcious gleam?

Can I Belong?

Where can I belong?
In a world that's gone so wrong.
I'm lost and scared.
Quite ill prepared.
The cold out there with a rigid stare.
How does one fair well?
The inner strength I hide.
Even from my very eyes.
Out there I feel so despised.
With every step I reprise.
The delicate game of my guise.
Putting up a show of lies.
Of a man whose brave and never cries.
Who doesn't even recognize.
The disgusted looks and hate implied.
God knows that I have tried.
To get along and do no wrong.
I've sometimes stumbled along the way.
Selfishly thinking in a daze.
I hope to find a place to fit.

What You Want

I don't know what you want.
I'll keep going till I can't give anymore of my desperate clout.
I'll keep on pushing through this endless spat.
Of this difficulty I'll maintain my stance.
I'll try so hard to win this dance.

You seem so far.
Your distant demeanor truly scars.
What is it you really want?
Is it heartache?
Sincerly not. I don't think you even know.
My eternal patience thin does grow.

You say you want a man who's sweet.
Here I am, and you retreat.
You say you don't desire,
one who's wicked anger,
burns like fire.
Yet that's the man you end up with.
Feeling hurt and angered by his cutting wit.

Do I Have To?

Do I have to love you?
When you treat me like a goon.
I waite on you hand and foot.
Then you kick me in the dirt.
Do I have to feel that you're a treasure.
When from all of this I get no pleasure.
Do I have to live with this forever?
Your subtle barbs and jabs so vicious.
Tear right through me.
You find it so delicious.
Do I have to feel that you're the one?
When every other day you say you're done.
One moment beating.
The next minute pleading.
You say please don't leave me I love you too.
Do I really have to take this abuse.
I don't want to love you, but I do.
Do I really have too?
I don't know why when you make me cry.
Then I look and drown in your eyes.

Instead

Do I have to be in love with you?
When I'd rather be with her instead.
I feel so screwed up in the head.

I love you too, but I'd rather take her to bed.
She's so charming it's so alarming.
Instead I have to stay with you.
Do I really have to choose?
Why can't we all be happy?
The three of us gladly romancing.

By candlelight the whole night dancing.
Instead I sit here time slowly prancing.
I look at her, she looks at me.
Together we share this affair.
I think about her after.
Instead I'm stuck with you while your middle softens.
I really bet she's dynamite.

I want her to show me wrong from right.

Revenge

I want revenge for all you do.
For all your hateful words, I hate you too.
You're the queen of lies.
Everything about you I despise.

I loathe you you little snitch.
You sold me out,
to make yourself look big no doubt.
Over me you tower,
when you wield such mighty power.

Soon enough I'll bring you down.
Then you'll see, and I'll be proud.
That you can't defeat me with your crowd.

We once were freinds, you kept me down.
To prove that you were tops and well renowned.
I'll tell you now for vengence sake.
Everyone knows you're a big fat fake.

Two Lost Souls

Surrounded by a sea of black.
Not knowing how to find the things they lack.
Two lost souls that need true love.

Noone understands these complex beings.
Their wants and needs far exceed than than others can read.
They cannot see the depth which bounds within them,
they'd get lost among the trees.

Two lost souls that need eachothers trust,
but opportunity has passed things rough.
They need to see,
they need to touch.
Upon these things that they must trust,
to make the thrust into a future robust.

They search and search,
forever seeming stuck in a lurch.
They get to know others,
finding noone they trust.

All These Years

Through all the years, after all the tears.
I'm still haunted by these fears.
Jealousy reigns supreme.
When I think of where you've been,
and who you've seen.

Were they better than me?
Was it more fulfilling?
Did they make you laugh and cry?
Should I be suprised?

The time you spent with those jerks.
Was it just to get a fix?
Did you ever think of me?
Or was I just a distant memory?

All the time I thought of you.
Hoping you'd remember me too.
I realize now I was just a tool.
To shower attention onto you.
