Better Things.

On what whims,
The world spins,
Who dies;
And who lives.

How evil love can be,
If someone holds me,
But I can't feel it.
Forever the feelings faked.

But, I'm sure of,
You're ability,
To love me truly.
Which makes me,
My own fallacy.

Just hold me,
Embrace me,
Don't say that,
You love me.
Coz one day,
We will walk away and say,
Things are better ending this way.

I need to know,
Why we're here,
Standing;
In this moment.

Just a weak reflection,
Of what this is,
And what it could be.

But its my life,
And my ability,
To love her truly.
Which makes you,
A twisted enemy.

Just hold me,
Embrace me,
Don't say that,
You love me.
Coz one day,
We will walk away and say,
Things are better ending this way.

Here comes the Shadow.

When war and peace,

Is left to the lord.

And everyone's God,

Is Evil.

Businessmen and lawyers,

Lead the common man.

Where money,

Is the way of speaking.

Leaders and robbers,

Walk hand in hand.

When crime,

Is always paying.

The suit and the chains,

Together align.

And the jail cells,

Are overflowing.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

We scream in silence,

And whisper in crowds.

Knowledge gained,

From overhearing.

Teacher and preacher,

Guide all to abhor.

And nature itself,

Is weeping.

All that we have,

Is not what we adore.

The world itself,

Seems lacking.

The love that we send,

In a life that will end.

So many lessons,

Are left for learning.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

Generation of waste,

And life of excess.

And somewhere,

A child is crying.

All that we spend,

And yet we want more.

Deep inside,

We're dying.

Life is to live,

Not meant to destroy.

What was made,

We will be losing.

A new day will dawn,

For our daughters and sons.

A new chance,

For some repairing.

Here comes the shadow,

That we made with our hands,

The sun will soon be fading.

Here comes the shadow,

To cleanse our land,

The time has come for repenting.

New year, New start.

The sun has faded,

It indicated.

The day will end,

And sun will rise,

For another dawn.

Feeling jaded,

Alienated.

Moving back and forth,

Looking for,

A greener lawn.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

Hold a prayer,

In my favor.

I'm going to,

A lonely place,

Just to find myself again.

Wave goodbye now,

Flying high now.

The rising day,

Will light my way,

In this heavy falling rain.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

Close the book now,

Take a look now.

Everything falls in place,

You can see it on my face.

I will be famous,

Victorious.

Standing on ashen will of,

The people who wished me ill.

I don't know,

What I will find.

Leave what I was,

Behind.

Search for,

Peace of mind.

Leave it all,

Behind.

I've made it there now,

I have no fear now.

I can turn around,

And look at them,

Show them what they could've been.

Keep to the Left.

To,

Ashu.

I imagine if I had written this then, you would have been singing it to me that night. It was so long ago, but I still remember the day you saved my life. If you hadn't been there then, I would probably not be here now. That was the day I fell in love with you.

Every time now, when He re-appears, all I look for is your voice calling me back, singing this song. It reminds me that I'm stronger than Him, it brings me back.

Thanks for everything,

My Love.

---------------Keep to the Left---------------

Stay away,

From the highway tonight,

My Love.

Don't let these fears,

Decide your years,

Don't make my tears,

In vain.

There are so many,

More days left,

My Love.

Don't let your chance,

Be our last dance,

Don't make our love,

End in pain.

If you wish to drive on,

Its okay my love.

Just look back once,

And you'll see a light on,

For a place you can,

Come back to.

How many more ways,

Do I show you,

My Love.

Give me a chance to know you,

I won't let you,

Throw yourself away.

Don't go to that highway,

Tonight my love.

We can make tomorrow,

A better day.

Your home is in,

My arms today.

Travelogue of Enlightenment.

Merchant of fate,

In search of truth.

Selling, trading,

The wisdom fruit.

Where does he come from,

His travel route.

Curses flying,

His search is moot.

It was meant for you,

I wish you knew.

What he searches,

It was meant for you.

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

The light is shining,

At the tunnels end.

No one sees it,

Coz its around a bend.

Stumbling backwards,

We fear the friend.

Keep on forward,

You will start a trend.

It was meant for you,

I wish you knew.

What he searches,

It was meant for you.

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

The path he's chosen,

Leads to just one place.

Darkness closing,

Around a saddened face.

Where he came from,

Was lost in grace.

It's a singular effort,

It was not a race.

It was meant for you,

Forbidden fruit and,

The fountain of youth,

It is meant for you.

The Lyrics:

She was flying,

Across the rainbow.

Kansas town,

Left far below.

Blue skies,

And clouds of grey.

Moving on,

But I wish she'd stay.

She was searching,

For dreams she heard.

Her slippers red,

In a greyscale world.

Floating trees,

With magic strands.

Riding with the wind,
To the fairy-tale land.

When I stumble,

She's there for me.

A helping hand,

She lends to me.

Picks me up,

When I've fallen down.

With her golden wings,

And a diamond crown.

She gives me what I wanted,
Everything I need,
Everything is freed.
From my mind to my soul,
That was stranded.
Riding with the wind,
To the fairy-tale land.

And if she wanted,
She could stay with me.

Give it up,
To be with me.

But she's an angel,
With golden wings.

And every song,
I know she sings.

So I hold her,
For a little while.

Remembering,
Her sweet smile.

When she gave me what I wanted.
Saved me when, I was stranded.
She took me on her wings,
To the fairy-tale land.

If I was a Scientist.

I was gonna grow up and be a scientist.

Working away in my secret lab.

Not a question that I would miss.

Make Einstein seem like a drab.

Finding cures for unknown ills,

Creating potions of myth.

Elixir of life and light sabers,

Not a Jedi, I like the Sith.

I would end world hunger,

And make the dolphins speak.

If only I had the brains,

To be a scientist.

The future would be mine,

I could disprove every priest.

Money and fame are secondary now,

If only I was a scientist.

I will build me some robot warriors,

Laser guns, AI and all.

I will try teach them about life,

And how we grew so tall.

And I just hope that they will,

Realize what life's worth.

In the very least I hope that,

They won't go destroy the Earth.

I would end world hunger,

And make the dolphins speak.

If only I had the brains,

To be a scientist.

The future would be mine,

I could disprove every priest.

Money and fame are secondary now,

If only I was a scientist.

Create the Matrix like the machines did,

Reality will be what I feel.

Bullet-Dodge motion and flying subs,

And machines that auto-heal.

It might seem to you,

That I'm a bit of a freak.

But you just don't get it,

This song is for the geek.

The future would be mine,

I could disprove every priest.

Money and fame are secondary now,

If only I was a scientist.

Song to sing when I'm alone.

I like the sound of my own voice,

I'm not asking for anyone else's choice.

Imagination expression device,

To say what I think I mean.

Find my way in a darkened room,

Shadows colliding with the moon,

I finally found a worthwhile tune,

But I think I lost it again.

I was born in this rat race,

I'm not gonna leave much of a trace,

Only thing I see is your beautiful face,

Standing here next to me.

Some people got lost finding the path,

Some just lost sight of the track,

Even more got taken all the way back,

Maybe we should start it again.
