| Psychological Sublimation In this world of sorrow and no tomorrow I find a piece of mind. In due time you too will find a place within your soul, a place where you can go and unwind. Take your time and feel fine, and this time I'm not lyin'. I'm not denyin' the facts of life and how hard it is. I'm just going to a place full of bliss. When you close your eyes and make a wish, do you ask for love, or just a kiss? Whatever it is, I don't know. That's your biz; where you go to feel sublime and pass the time. Even though it lasts a short time, it still is a peace of mind. So just go kick back and relax chill out to the max, and get your stacks, of money. No, it ain't funny, its serious stuff. Life is rough. What you have to be is tough, and you will ride through the muck. So much for luck, you're just stuck. So what? Remember the love and all the hugs and without a doubt, you'll zone out. But don't burn out, it'll turn out. |

| Sin There is one thing that has constantly plagued mankind since creation. One evil that remains imbedded in the nature of humanity. It is sin. There is no way to escape it, no way to wash it away. This illness that humans suffer cannot be removed. This is the order of it all, until a strange gentleman came, and made the biggest sacrifice. This gambit was the Creator's strategy ever since day 1, when forbidden fruit condemmed our souls. The deed was done for all, so that the cure to the dreaded disease of sin would be available. All that is required is a dosage of faith, hope and love. Then, on the final morning, the Lord will call us, and we will be eternally free from sin. |

| The Contradictions of Life (The Way I Am) There are times when I lose my mind looking and looking, but I can't find a meaning to it all, but I know its there. I search and I search, but I don't know where to go, what to think. I can feel so good, then I start to sink into a pit of despair and when I'm sure I don't care, something happens, and my heart is repaired from the damage inflicted by a life that just stares and burns my soul, till I feel bare and I am consumed by the flare of anger and a mood that is rare. I feel like I need a spare to make it so I don't need to fake it. I can't take it, nor shake it. When I feel lower than dirt someone comes to erase my hurt and soothe my aching soul. This time there is no toll, no price to pay for this pleasure for someone to care is a treasure. Then I find that I am on cloud nine and all the while, inside my smile is a state of denial from life itself and then it all crumbles and I lose my wealth of happiness and bliss. I'm longing for one kiss from the one who gave me this; my love, my joy, my happiness. Then I will say, "as distant as night is from day, is love from being betrayed." All I am is laid on the line that is defined by how many people that think I whine about how bad life can really be and how they just don't see how I can be so pessimistic. To them, I'm unrealistic. To them, life is all peaches and cream, and everything is the way they're seen. But I say life is a balance of both; Good and evil, which I see the most, and spend time trying to escape from, but then I tell myself that that is dumb. Maybe I'm a cynic, but don't be a critic, instead, try to solve it. Then, I won't want to quit. cause I'll see life as good AND bad. Maybe then I won't be so sad. |

| Untitled It is hard to imagine How it all came to be It is hard to imagine How it happened to me. Some kind of fairy tale, Some sort of dream That, even though I fail, She will not scream, She will not shout, She will not cry. I have not figured out Just exactly why. But it doesn't matter; I don't want to worry About that particular matter, Cause I don't want to feel sorry, Especially for my sake, Cause I would truly feel That I would be a fake, My heart covered with a seal, That only she can break. And if you could only see How much I love you, Then maybe you will see Your own love for me, too. |
