After All Of These Things

i can listen to what you have to say when you say it
i can take the look in your eyes...and try to understand it
i can dream that i will know what i need to know to love you
i can sleep and see you in a dream

but after all of these things
i don't really know you
i only know i want you
but i won't ask you anything at all

i can read between your lines in line when you say it
i can see your body language...and try to understand it
i can feel like i must be the one from all the things i see of you
i can wake and remember the dream

but after all of these things
i don't really know you
i only know i want you
but i won't ask you anything at all

there is something hidden
maybe i don't want to know
maybe goodbye doesn't really mean hello

but after all of these things
i don't really know you
i only know i want you
but i won't ask you anything at all

I Don't Miss Her (I Miss the Dream She Was)

she was my miracle
she was the only one could save me
she was the girl of my dreams
and i kept my heart trained fast on her
but now i know
those foolish dreams were never meant to grow
and so it seems
i gotta carry on alone

But I don't miss her
i miss the dream she was
and just because
i know i'll never know
the dream that got me through the haze
no i don't miss her
i miss the light she cast
but now it's passed
and she won't think of me
the way i wanted it to be

she was my angel in the dark
she was the only dream worth dreaming
she was the story in my heart
and i could picture every scene
but now i know
those foolish dreams were never meant to grow
and so it seems
i gotta carry on alone

But I don't miss her
i miss the dream she was
and just because
i know i'll never know
the dream that got me through the haze
no i don't miss her
i miss the light she cast
but now it's passed
and she won't think of me
the way i wanted it to be

The Cryptics

when ancient history is painfully read
in come the cryptics with sin in their heads
trying in vain to restore the old sheen
that's been ripped to shreds by the faces they've been

warriors battled with nothing but words
intelligence settles for what could be heard
nothing could hasten or dampen their fall
now livith the cryptics backs up to the wall

and they can't save face or advantage
by griping of tactics they've used for themselves
they can't find faith in the tragic
the verdict is written
now please go to hell

when all these days are long over and done
who will cry for the cryptics when their race is run
sniping and gloating in their cryptic way
steeped in the bitterness that emptiness made

You Don't Know The First Thing

you say you used to be happy
but it was a lie
'cause for everytime you laughed
a thousand times you cried inside
it just seemed to easy
to deny the pain
to say you hated sunshine
you were waitin' for the rain

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love

you think love is a feeling
for everyone else
you had your heart thrown back at you
so you put it on the shelf
you say you don't need it
but you lie in vain
'cause i really don't believe
that you're still waitin' for the rain

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love

(bridge)
now i know that we've both been there
thinkin' love is just for fools
making all those promises
and breakin' all those rules
but if it's really useless
if all it brings is tears
why is it the one thing
that we've wanted all these years

you still can imagine
it's a dreamlike place
even after all the tears you've cried
you still might find a way
and it won't be easy
to just let go
you've come to far to go back now
i guess you never know

and you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love
yeah, you know i know what you've been dreamin' of
but you don't know the first thing about love, love, love

If I Have To Have The Blues

if i have to have the blues
to understand you
then i'll have the blues
if i have to choose
to understand you
then you know that i'm gonna choose
if i have to feel the pain
to believe you
then i'm gonna feel the pain
to believe you
then you know i'll feel that pain

i won't come marching in with sunshine
if i know that's not how you feel
i'll get to know you in the dark times
maybe we can find the light together

if i have to get lose myself
to find you
then you know i will get lost
if i have to turn away
to see you
then you know i'll be turning away
if i have to find myself
to know you
then i'm gonna learn who i am
to know you
when i'm learning who i am

i won't come marching in with sunshine
if i know that's not how you feel
i'll get to know you in the dark times
maybe we can find the light together

i'll find a better way
even if i have to give up everything
i will find a better way

i won't come marching in with sunshine
if i know that's not how you feel
i'll get to know you in the dark times
maybe we can find the light together

The Night Calls

what about my future heart?
diggin' in...trying to find a way to win
what about my future mind?
tired of being...the same old thing again

i used to find my strength in dreaming
i used to always find a way

always the night calls
answers in my sleep
when the night falls
some place my soul to keep
anybody
would find it easy to see
not me...no not me
when the night calls
i know i'm gonna fall alone
in the morning
another cold and lonely dawn
will i make it
through another empty day
just me...yeah just me

what about those yester-dreams?
breaking out...trying to see the morning sun
what about my future soul?
tired of waiting...for the other one

i used to find my strength in dreaming
i used to always find a way

always the night calls
answers in my sleep
when the night falls
some place my soul to keep
anybody
would find it easy to see
not me...no not me
when the night calls
i know i'm gonna fall alone
in the morning
another cold and lonely dawn
will i make it
through another empty day
just me...yeah just me

i believe my soul is in transition
i believe i'm gonna see the day

always the night calls
answers in my sleep
when the night falls
some place my soul to keep
anybody
would find it easy to see
i'll see...even me
when the night calls
i know it's gonna all come true
in the morning
i'll find the word i always knew
i will make it
through the dark to see the sun
i'll be...i'll be free

My Nobility: The Video

That's So Beautiful-Redux

A remake of my original song.

My Nobility

This is a recorded version of my song "My Nobility"...My vocal performance was not good at all...I just wanted to give you a chance to hear the song.

On and On

with my creative mind
i make art for art's sake
i tell you that it's all real
although i know it's all fake
i let my mind run free
and then i make my own trap
i try to fence myself in
every time you react

sailing on and on and on
this sea of angst goes on and on
i try to find my star
but the radio don't see that far
sailing on and on and on
this sea of angst goes on and on
i try to find my way
i find another reason to stay

and that is how i do it
it's just the thing that i do
my emotions in circles
a ship at sea without crew
i could stay here forever
or i could leave you today
just another extension
of my greatest mistake

sailing on and on and on
this sea of angst goes on and on
i try to find my star
but the radio don't see that far
sailing on and on and on
this sea of angst goes on and on
i try to find my way
i find another reason to stay

Stand and Deliver

don't need no anger
to color your songs
you have all that you’re needin'
you don't have to do wrong
you can run with the others
turn your words into fights
or you can stand and deliver
something so right

you have something special
i can hear when you sing
so you don't need to answer
when the trouble boys ring
you can swear like the others
with their four letter words
or you can stand and deliver
what they never could

(chorus)
and the coal dark of night calls the soul
come to me she says
it's better than you've been told
that sweet song of satan
fill you up with those lies...lies...lies
what do you know of heaven?
until you've been tried

don't need no suitcase
to get where you're goin'
if you ride with the bad man
that is all you'll be knowin'
you can be like the others
take a stance so tough
or you can stand and deliver
say enough is enough

(chorus)
and the coal dark of night calls the soul
come to me she says
it's better than you've been told
that sweet song of satan
fill you up with those lies...lies...lies
what do you know of heaven?
until you've been tried

My Nobility

wouldn't change a thing
don't want to see a different face in the mirror
it's really all the same
each passing day
gets clearer and clearer

follow me
if you will...if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility

wouldn't cast a shine
on any other place in the matrix
i live it all the time
i see the hours
falling all over me

follow me
if you will...if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility

take away the veil of civility
take away the lie of the frame
take away the smart decorations
you'll see
whatever you see

follow me
if you will...if you want to
follow me
up that higher hill
follow me
we can stand on the heights and look down
on my nobility

The Final Fly

The days are getting shorter
It’s a bitter dying light
As the final fly of summer
Takes a lonely winter flight
The things that once were lively
Are slowly finding death
The visitors are leaving
On the next train headed west
The coming days loom bitter
For the warmth forsaken soul
The closing theme is playing
In the lonely winter cold
Maybe some fine morning
Spring will come again
Till then darkness rules the winter
Goodbye to you my friend

Saying Goodbye

feeling like i overstayed my welcome
feeling not good enough
i feel so out of place
i talk but i can't feel you listening
i get more feedback from the stars in outer space

(chorus)
don't wanna have to say
but i really feel this way
i'm too sad to try
so i'm saying goodbye
i was there when things were new
i'll always be a friend to you
but time passes by
now i'm saying goodbye

feeling like a stranger lost in heaven
feeling like someone else
should be standing in my place
i pretend that nothing really bothers me
'cause the truth feels so close to a slap upside my face

(chorus)
don't wanna have to say
but i really feel this way
i'm too sad to try
so i'm saying goodbye
i was there when things were new
i'll always be a friend to you
but time passes by
now i'm saying goodbye

(bridge)
there ain't no way i'm comin' over
i gave the best of me
gotta save the rest of me

(chorus)
don't wanna have to say
but i really feel this way
i'm too sad to try
so i'm saying goodbye
i was there when things were new
i'll always be a friend to you
but time passes by
now i'm saying goodbye
