Freedom

I stand amongst the souls tonight
Of all the heroes who did fight
The rich, the poor, the men just like you
The ones who died and the ones who lives through
For many men did lose their lives
And left behind their distraught wives
But freedom was their only goal
And to the death they fought heart and soul
So remember those who gave their all
And answered to their nations call
For what they gave was more than most
And so many failed to return to our coast
But victory that gave us all
So just remember all those who fall.

Pillow

As I lie here in my bed, I search for somewhere to place my head
The pillow where my sleep should start , is warm all over, in every part
I turn it over and around, but no cool patch is to be found
I sit back up and hope the heat, may disappear which would be sweet
But as I lie back down to sleep, once again all I feel is heat
Every position that I try, just leads me more to wonder why
Just one cool pillow is all I ask, but this is such a thankless task
Throughout the night I toss and turn, looking for the sleep I yearn
Them finally I fall asleep, just in time to hear the alarm go beep

Thoughts

I sit here wondering how this all came to be
Nothing is certain that is very plain to see
So I'll turn around and walk away
Hoping to find some better day

Regardless of what I came to believe
Everything is complex and hard to perceive
The flowers will still bloom and the stars will still shine
And fate is a burden that is there to remind

The mirror reflects all that we cannot see
And the truth it can burn to an endless degree
The water will soothe and the air will provide
Life is just something that keeps us alive

The colour has drained from the beauty around
It all disappears, never to be found
So look at the sky and imagine the blue
If you want to escape the thing that is you

The sweeter the honey, The sharper the tongue
The older the person, the heart becomes young
A random excess becomes all that we need
Our only expense is the desire to feed

Foolproof

We'll Make this foolproof, You and I
Stars exploding in the sky
Let's stay together till we die
Cause we'll be foolproof

The breath of life you give to me
When we're together you can see
You to me are energy
So when we kiss I know

We'll Make this foolproof, You and I
Stars exploding in the sky
Let's stay together till we die
Cause we'll be foolproof

Hand in Hand we will be
Together for eternity
Flying high we are free
And when we kiss I know

We'll Make this foolproof, You and I
Stars exploding in the sky
Let's stay together till we die
Cause we'll be foolproof

You are the roots that feed my tree
The guilty man I make my plea
No longer am I solitary
And when we kiss I know

We'll Make this foolproof, You and I
Stars exploding in the sky
Let's stay together till we die
Cause we'll be foolproof

Stronger

Fortune favours the brave they say, so where were you today
What is it that makes you better, than the people you meet along the way
Does the Man beside you, on the bus, not deserve his place
And why abuse the homeless man and shout right in his face
All because, that they don't fit, your perfect view of life
And your belief that all young men are carrying a knife
Just because they wear a hoodie, which is just to keep them warm
You decide, their not worthwhile and only can do harm
So when the old lady cries for help and collapses on the street
And you are just to busy staring at your feet
That young man is the one to help her, in her time of need
When you would just have left her, lying there to bleed
Look inside and maybe it is you who needs the help to see
Cause he is ten times stronger, than you could ever be

Mistakes

It's Foolish trying to tell me, that mistakes I've made aren't real
And pointless making comments, when you don't know how I feel
When interactions matter and conversations hurt
And words are said, that would be better, left down in the dirt
I'll make the worthless gestures and follow protocol
I'll try to make it better, but end up like a troll
They say we all learn lessons, but why is it so hard
When truth appears from deep within and leaves us marked and scarred
Time may pass, but still it strikes and punches at your heart
Reminders of the arguments, you wish you didn't start
Mistakes can pass, but only when they're small
It's the failures that consume you, as beneath the cracks you fall
I know I'll never save this time or be the one again
But always deep inside of me a part of you remains

Whoever Told You

Whoever Told you, that you can't be Strong and live your life your way
Whoever Told you, not to make a sound and have no words to say
Whoever Told you, it was wrong to feel, emotions deep inside
Whoever Told you, just to walk away and find a place to Hide
Whoever Told you, that the world out there, doesn't need your kind
Whoever Told you, just to follow on and never use your mind
Whoever Told you, not to reach your goals and never to succeed
Whoever Told you, not to ask for help and never feel the need
Whoever Told you, that the stars for you, were always out of reach
Whoever Told you, No one listens, whenever you make a speech
Whoever Told you, this must be wrong, cause all of it's untrue
Whoever Told you, this is jealous, because they can't be you
