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

All Gone

(all gone)
(all gone)

Fathers and mothers
Sisters and brothers
They've all been buried in the ground
Some a their ashes have been scattered around

They're all gone
(all gone)

Lovers and friends
Relatives, aquaintances
They've all met their various ends
Some even died by their own hands

The count keeps growing
Every year of my knowing
More and more breathe their final breath
Could I be the only one left?

They're all gone
(all gone)

My heart is filled with emptiness
Stuck in this life of loss and death
A void is widening in my soul
Every time we dig another hole

They're all gone
(all gone)

You're not there

How do I tell you
I think about you all the time
How can I tell you
But in a song or in a rhyme
How do I tell you
I long for your sweet stare
How can I tell you
When you're not there
You're not there

How do I tell you
I miss the good times and the bad
How can I tell you
You were the best thing I ever had
How do I tell you
That I will always care
How do I tell you
When you're not there
You're not there
When you're not there

I tried to call you
but you changed your number long ago
Went searchin' for you
Because I just had to know
After a few years
I know you up and moved away
Wish you were here right now
so I could say what I have to say

How do I tell you
I'm sorry when I made you blue
How do I tell you
I never meant to go and hurt you
How can I ask you
To forgive me for this burdens I bear
How do I tell you
When you're not there
You're not there
When you're not there

Ten Years Ago

Ten years ago
In my exciting, younger day
Time went so slow
Now it seems like, it was yesterday

Traveled the world
So many new things to see
I found my girl
But It just wasn't to be

Ten years ago
seems so long ago, and so far away
Ten years ago
Well I've lived, anyway

Times slippin on
Now I'm older, gettin' grey
I hope that 10 years from now
I've got the same thing left to say

That ten years ago
Seems so long ago, and so far away
Ten years ago
Well I've lived, anyway

Leave It All Behind

Younger days
And a young mans younger ways
Long lost love
We moved on in life just because

Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna leave it all behind

I'd forgotten how her face it used to shine
When that girl was mine
That woman is still so fine

And I saw she's found her love she's found her life
As somebody elses wife
And it cuts me like a knife
But it will heal no time for strife

Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna leave it all behind

Women come and women go
I want this girl to know
In my heart she'll never go
But I'll never let it show

This life it can be such a funny thing
For the moments that it can bring
For past memories that sing

Gonna leave it all behind
Gonna leave it all behind

Dreams

I Built Dreams Around Us
Inside My Hopes Were Way Up High
I Thought That Thats How It Was
That We had The Love That Would Never Die

Wanted To See So Many Places With You
To Be In So Many Spaces With You
Together In Love And Traveling On
But Now You Are Gone

I Wasnt Ready For How Much I Bonded With You
Inside is Suffering Im Still Going Through
Struggle To Painfully Limp From This Love
I Might Not Rise Above

I Built Dreams Around Us
Inside My Hopes Were Way Up High
I Thought That Thats How It Was
That We had The Love That Would Never Die

Like You Do

No one holds me
No one scolds me
Like you do
Like you do

Nothing grabs me
Nothing has me
Like you do
Yea you got me

No one sees me
No one can please me
Like you do
Like you do

Nothing can gratify
Nor can it satisfy
Like you do
You've really caught me

I see a treasure, something special in your every move
Theres magic in your ways when you do things like you do
You've got something there that sets you far above the rest
From what I've seen so far in life you simply are the best

Nobody wants me
Nobody haunts me
Like you do
Like you do

Time Is Wastin'
If I'm not makin' it
Like you do
When I'm with you
