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.

Around the World.

Take my heart,
Around the world.

See who's my friend,
And who is right.

Write my story,
Word for word.

See what you get,
From your life.

Its almost like being free,
All the pain that I believe.
Its almost like a relief,
To see this time,
And its mine.

Like to sit down,

And share some words.

Know what it's like,

What we have heard.

Try to fill some emptiness,

With nothing more.

Break away from loneliness,

Walk right out another door.

Its almost like being free,
All the pain that I believe.
Its almost like a relief,
To see this time,
And its mine.

All that I wanted,

All that I thought would mean something.

All that we had and,

All that I saw in my dream.

Its almost like being free,
All the pain that I believe.
Its almost like a relief,
To see this time,
And its mine.

Et tu Brute?

You cast your lot with the right people. At least those you perceive to be right at that point of time. Then, you strive. You strive and you struggle and you work your ass off trying to achieve one combined goal. Of course there were doubts, but you ignore that voice. You convince yourself, that nothing is going to affect this. Nothing will change, and this will last forever. Suddenly you realize. A certain lack of appreciation, a certain lack of brotherhood. By all means, you’re brothers and in so many ways you are a stranger. An outsider, included in a world of peers, who was taken in, but never really accepted. Still, they embrace you. They consider you a peer.

But never an equal.

You make mistakes. They make mistakes. Some on our own, many together. No one says anything. Then it happens. It starts small. No one notices as the cracks start forming. “It’s nothing. We’ll survive. All for one; one for all.” But the three musketeers’ were always four. He’s never remembered. Not as a musketeer. And then it comes back. One mistake, tears the whole world down. No gratitude. No affection. No respect.

Maybe I am d’Artagnan.

And you get cast aside. Sidelined. All the efforts, wasted. All the respect, destroyed. And nothing to show for it, except a fool’s endeavor at becoming something. Someone. Among friends. What friends.

They all told me this would happen. The dagger was poised, my back was exposed. But like Caesar, I ignored the warnings. I ignored it all. Blind in my faith, blinded by friends. How poetic that they be the ones to end it all. Et tu Brute?

You are my brothers,
My friends,
The memories,
Will stand by me.
You call me brother,
All my friends,
Their memories,
Will stand by me.

Wish we could have stood next to each other for a little longer. Too bad, guess I’ll survive. See ya when I see ya.

Never Afraid

Only one way to go,
Life will always let me know,

Everything goes the way I say,
Nothing goes against my way.

Nothing can ever take me down,
Nothing will ever, break me now.

The world keeps spinning,
Around my head.
I keep on winning,
Never afraid.
Never afraid.

All I do,
Will end in victory,
Everything I want,
It waits for me.

Keep it going,
Keep it strong,
Everyone will sing,
It's my victory song.

Nothing can ever take me down,
Nothing will ever, break me now.

The world keeps spinning,
Around my head.
I keep on winning,
Never afraid.
Never afraid.


P.S.> This is my first ever song with a complete positive feel to it. I wrote it for a good friend of mine, a small guitar genius who made the tune that I'm listening to right now. He made the tune and passed it on to me, and the lyrics sort of flowed. Wrote the lyrics in a few minutes and the tune that he created somehow got the words out with ease.
