A Battle (01.10.08)

A battle
To conquer
The person
I am

A battle
Raging within me,
Threatening
To consume me
As I suffer
So many
Times over
For you

My soul
Is torn
In two
By a battle
Raging within me

My heart
Has a battle
Against me
To keep it beating
And I just
Want it
To stop

I’m fighting
A losing battle
To conquer
The person
I am
‘Cause if I
Just keep fighting
Within me
I lose
But I have
Got to focus
On the battle raging
In the world

A Cold Comfort (27.10.08)

It’s a cold comfort
Having you here
In my house
While I’m out cold

As I’m drifting
In the bliss
Of being pissed
Your presence here
Is a cold comfort

It’s the thought
Of having
You here
That’s driving
Me insane

It’s a cold comfort
Waiting here
With you
Until you leave,
Never to
Come back
To me

It’s a cold comfort
Leaving you here
With no-one
To protect you

I don’t
Want to leave
You alone
‘Cause it’s
A cold comfort
Working
While you’re
At my house
All alone

A Legend In The Making (20.10.08)

There is
A legend
In the making,
A man too great
For this world
But he is not
Great enough
For us humans

Sword and steel,
Banners are raised
And the time
Has come
For humans
To win
In their fight

There is
A legend
In the making,
A man
On the rise
To success
In this world

No matter what
Comes over
This world
A legend
In the making
Will always be there
For us
Till we fall down

Our legend
That’s in the making
Will not fall
Beneath our feet
But will be raised
By the crowd

A Man Of Action (18.10.08)

I’m a man
Of action
And few words
But I can say
So much
With my actions

I don’t like
Loving things
Till the last minute
‘Cause I’m a man
Of action
And I like
To get things done
No matter what stands
In my way

I’ll tear
Through brick walls
And sleep
In an eye
Of a hurricane
Just to get
Things done

I’ll climb a cliff
With my bare hands
And take on
America’s army
Just to
See me win

I’m a man
Of action,
I like
To get
Things done
Without holding off
Or holding back
And I won’t
Stand by
As the world
Passes me by

A Man Of Many Contradictions (11.10.08)

It’s too hard
To gauge
What I’m saying
Most the time
Because I am
A man
Of many contradictions

Just ask yourself
When I say
I love you
Do I really
Mean it?

My words
Have so
Many meanings
That people
Just lose track
Of what
I’m saying

A man
Of many contradictions
I’m always wondering
What part
Of what I say
Is the truth?

If you can
Get past
This facade
Of mine
You’re a better person
Than I am

I walk
My local streets
In my guise
As a man
A man
Of many contradictions

A Million Voices (27.10.08)

A million voices
In my head
Block me
From thinking
What I want
To think
Each and every day

Nothing can change,
Nothing will change,
They keep
Telling me
The same
Old lies

A million voices,
All telling me
What to do
And when
To do it,
Can’t think
For myself
For a change

Whatever I say,
Whatever I do,
And whatever
I think
Always comes
Out wrong
And never right

A million voices,
Pounding and screaming
In my head,
They control
My life
And anything
I do

Just let me
Speak my mind
Or else everyone
In the world
Will suffer
And fall

A million voices,
A crushing crescendo,
Are all choosing
The path
They want me
To travel
Till the day
Dies with me

Abandoned (20.10.08)

I walk
The empty streets
That are
In my mind

I feel abandoned
Without answers
In my life
So I keep
On searching
And traveling
While everyone
Has abandoned me

The world
Has turned
Its back
On me
But they’ll regret it
When they are abandoned
To their own devices
As I turn around
And defeat my demons

I feel abandoned
And it’s making
Me stronger
But it’s too strong
For me
To handle

I may have
Been abandoned
By the world
But they’ll regret
Turning their backs
On me

I don’t
Want to feel
Abandoned any more
I want
To feel loved
And respected
By a wrong
So wrong
