why are we doing this
what’s in it for us
the captain’s lost his mind
first duty is not his prime
we have mutiny on the line

pull out, pull out
tournament war

close down the doors
lock away the key
framers are dissappointed
rolling in their graves
no more the land of the free

lock down, lock down
tourniquet war

moral crusader
a nation divided
what’s left to come?
When your daily commute
is impeded by greed

fight back, fight back
tournament war

Another oldie, posting here for the first time:

i dont need your silver spoon
i live my life free from rules
and regulations going solely on
common sense and experience

i am the one that you hate
but that which you delegate
should not fall upon my shoulders
but on those who seek to do harm

we are the miscounted culture
we stand against the status-quo vulture
we dirty our hands for your better world
we seek peace, not war
to better this place for the next generation

This one is going back a while, but I’ve yet to post it on here:

i exist on a higher plane of existence than you
am i better than you?
no, you can come and join me here
above the world you can see so much more
up here it is a burden
but it also a sweet sweet rose
you are not mixed up with merely your own problems
but burdened and enlightened by the experiences of others
life is more substantial here, on a global scale
simple lives do not entice me.
enjoy yours.
my mind flows with action
but i am held back by unknown forces
i will break free of these chains
i will assuage suffering in whatever capacity i can
i will disseminate the truth to as many willing individuals as i can find
life is worth living
life is worth dispelling the truth about
there will be a way
i will let my dreams burn
never extinguishing the flame
pour on the accelerant and watch me move
i will stop for nothing.
destiny or not, this is what am here for
i will stop for nothing.

I felt in the lyric writing mood after viewing a certain someone’s posts on a few friends’ blogs… I wrote this in the vain of Local H or some of the better Nirvana. It is entitled Hourglass:

hourglass figure
face of a model
promiscuous agenda
nothing else to offer

if you come around
you’re nothing but a fuck
my glass is left empty
and I’m still in a rut

a 2 hour waste of time
just like MTV
stay away from me
stay away from me

Previously posted on my Xanga, I’m reposting here within the Lyrics category.

Fancy that, I decided to write some lyrics… something I’ve not done in a while… I call this one “Box.”

i’m trapped inside this box of steel
human emotions do I feel
i look in the mirror and see the boy i once knew
i look to my past, my memories may be few
but right now i’m just glad to be alive

i’ve made some choices that i regret
emotions that I wish I could forget
until the day that I walk away
I’m stationary for none to see
a statue behind lock and key

learning how to fall
is half of the journey
learning from the hits
and dealing the death blow
finding yourself
sometimes takes a lifetime

picking yourself up
and taking off into the horizon
my life begins on the road
away from the ordinary
I wish I could become free

something is there
something is out there
something is waiting out there for me
something is real
the answers are out there
beyond the box that binds us
