Words of Games

Is it words of games we play?

To add spice to the restraint

It is too brittle a stake to pay

Somehow I've figured out

All those hatred words in display

So I've questioned myself instead

Is it words of games we play?

Like two soured lives striving to stay ahead

Soon each will part its own way

When they see each other again

It will be a bitter sight, I'd say

Words of games

Sooner or later one party will stray

Who was to blame?

I can't judge, I can't say

Amidst those truths and lies in news today

Only the victim

Could overturn the words of games

Running Away, Never Gonna Stay

Stop your pace

Wait for me

Stay awake

And do you remember me?

Look at me

Dry your face

Smile for me

And do you still like me?

Laughing, dying, crying, living alone

I can not, can't be alone

But you just want to run

Running away, never gonna stay

Never gonna stay

Stop your pace

Wait for me

Never say

Then will you ever leave me?

Hold you close

But your face

Cold and still

Have you left me all alone again?

Much Afraid

Much afraid of the silence

Too heavy too lighten

Down into the drainage system

High above the level of the sea

Much afraid of the light

Scared and lost in the air

Drifting through the space

Where have I to struggle?

Maybe to my dark soul inward

It's happening again, I'm much afraid

I'd always favored you since I've met you

Tell me why I can't answer

Like a coward inside my shell

Much afraid to let it all out

The emptiness inside me

So dark and scary

Not worthy to explore my depth

You will surely regret

No one can dig all out of me

I'm much afraid to come out into the light

I'm much afraid to stay there in silence

Thursday Morning in May

Lady it's two am

On a Thursday morning in May

You left me hanging to nothing

I was busy with my own things

Never tried to make a call to say

Please forgive me, my good friend

You had left without me telling you how I was

Lady it's two am

On a Thursday morning in May

You left me standing to nothing

On that faithful day

Your world came to an end

There was nothing worthwhile for me to say

But I can't stand, my good friend

You had left without standing on both ends

Lady it's two am

On a Thursday morning in May

You left me hoping for something

Free Myself

I just have to free myself

From this terrifying world

I can't break it all alone

Make it up and leave me whole

Oh let me know

Oh when you decide to let go

Give me a life

Oh she ain't gone

Isn't it weird how this has grown

Nothing meek enough for you to know

Not a spirit in my soul

Fly away and let me grow

Oh let me know

Oh when you decide to let go

Give me a life

Oh she ain't gone

Confusion Love

Never had a second thought about my life

Never should have replied to their beheaded lies

Couldn't forget the experience of some big structured mind

Who could ever break into my strange skyline?

Not a second to spare my imposed thoughts

Indecent thoughts just lingered in my mind

Whatever happened to my innocent life

Can't what for the next life to head a better dive

Strange where had all my pals gone

Perhaps they have known

Underneath my perfect pale lies

Digging all my essence say goodbye

Confusion love is not a good affair

Confused in love should never be spared

Confusion love is not heading anywhere

Confused in love should be handed with care
