SICK
I'm just so sick, so so sick
Sick of it all,
I'm just so tired, so so tired
Trying hard not to fall,
Keep the pain inside
So far inside
Hide it, hide it away
Hide so far away
Come what may
Remember how hard I tried

Sick, sick, sick
Hurt and bleeding inside
So much pain is pounding
Pounding to the rythym in my head
Day after day
wishing I could stay in bed
Damn the drums sounding
Damn damn damn the heat
The heat that comes from within
When did this sickness begin
Suffocate the rage
Never to turn another page
Seal shut the book of pain
Drench my filthy soul with cleansing rain

Purify this existence
Deny all resistance
Flow freely the blood in these veins
Careful of the crimson stains
Stepback, keep clear
Not that you were ever here
Lies, lies, habitual lies
Kill the sickness in your eyes
Sick, sick, so so sick
No more games, not another trick
Die, die, die
So far gone, no one will cry.
















Love Will Come Through
If I told you a secret
You won't tell a soul
Will you hold it and keep it alive
Cause it's burning a hole
And I can't get to sleep
And I can't live alone in this lie
So look up

Take it away
Don't look da-da-da- down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
Anyone, anything, anyhow

So take me don't leave me
Take me don't leave me
Baby, love will come through it's just waiting for you

Well I stand at the crossroads
Of highroads and lowroads
And I got a feeling it's right
If it's real what I'm feeling
There's no makebelieving
The sound of the wings
of the flight of a dove

Take it away
Don't look da-da-da down the mountain
If the world isn't turning
Your heart won't return
anyone anything anyhow...

For Cecily
My soul is wrapped in harsh repose.
Midnight descends in raven-colored clothes.
But soft, behold!
A sunlight beam,
Cutting a swath of glimmering gleam.
My heart expands,
'tis grown a bulge in it.
Inspired by your beauty,
effulgent.
                                                      Spike (William the Bloody)



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

You Say
You say I’m special but you’ve never been there to show me
You say I’m pretty but you’ve never been around to see me
You say I’m talented but you never bother to see my work
Your words mean something and yet mean nothing
‘Cause you never bother to show me that you care
Every time I turn around
You never seem to be there
Every time I need you
You don’t seem to care
All I needed was love
A very simple task
But you scared me so I was afraid to ask
I want to love you but your hard to love
I want to know you but your hard to find
How can we work this out if all you do is scream and shout?

Paint it Black (Rolling Stones)
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you

If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

Hmm, hmm, hmm...

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!






From This Moment On
(I do swear that I'll always be there.
I'd give anything and everything and I will always care.
Through weakness and strength, happiness and sorrow, for better, for worse,
I will love you with every beat of my heart.)

From this moment life has begun
From this moment you are the one
Right beside you is where I belong
From this moment on

From this moment I have been blessed
I live only for your happiness
And for your love I'd give my last breath
From this moment on

I give my hand to you with all my heart
Can't wait to live my life with you, can't wait to start
You and I will never be apart
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment on

You're the reason I believe in love
And you're the answer to my prayers from up above
All we need is just the two of us
My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live
I will love you, I promise you this
There is nothing I wouldn't give
From this moment
I will love you as long as I live
From this moment on

To My Dear and Loving Husband
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee can give recompense.
Thy love is such that I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, i pray.
Then while we live, in love let's so persever,
That when we live no more we may live ever.
