I Remember Her

Does she know
That I dream about her
Lay in bed at night
And scheme about her

Does she know
I remember her
From a place that we once shared

Does she feel
That I cherish her
From a time when we both cared

She gives me strength
Her memory has pulled me through
The times of loneliness
Her image chased away the blues

I hope she knows she's with me
Long after she's gone
The power from her lingering touch
Helping me to carry on

A few precious moments
engrained in my mind for eternity
A face and a smile
Following me into to infinity

Remembering what's best in life
The times that I truly cherish
Does she realize the impact she made on me
These memories they will not perish

Her Justice

If I saw her today
And she wanted to hear what I had to say
Knowing honesty was the only way
What would I tell her?

We were so young when we met
But after all these years I'll never forget
After all these years I still regret
The way I treated her

She was the one good thing in life's tragedy
Remind myself of what an idiot I used to be
She is so much better of a person than me
My self awareness is her justice

That I'll never get a chance to clear my name
To always be remembered as dumb and lame
That her trust in me could never be the same
I deserve that justice

Factory Farm

Time to be nervous
Time to be alarmed
Because the meat that you eat
It was factory farmed

Crowded into cages
filled with chemicals
Welcome to a concentration camp
For animals

Let's go down to
The factory farm
The factory farm
The factory farm

Let's go down to
The factory farm
The factory farm
The factory farm

You call yourself
Humanitarian
When you gonna be a
Vegetarian

All this suffering for some meat
Sick and disgusting from the creatures you eat
kicking the chickens and the cows that they beat
carnivorous prey for your selfish treat

Let's go down to the factory farm
Watching all the animals come to harm
Setting off the humane alarm
Tearing down the factory farm

An Undesired Gift

You never wanted it
But you got it anyway
An undesired gift
For which you had no say

Because I care for you
You got my heart, you got my soul
I didn't mean to give it all
That was out of my control

I don't blame you
You tried to show me the signs
Though my love was true
Lies were written between the lines

Have a little pity on me
Try to understand it's alot
The love I give to you
One of the few good things that I've got

Please don't walk away
I never meant to make you cry
Hope you can look my way
A few more times before I die

This undesired gift
I don't want it back
Just let it float adrift
Go missing, fall through the cracks

Or hold onto it
May it help you to be strong
This undesired gift
That's been with you all along
