we're all young

viewing the world with innocence
the only ones everyone pushes
to make a difference
with the energy and exuberance

all searching for paths of ambition
led astray by values of the world
the ones torn apart by division
and useless emotion

look at us through our eyes
see our need and insecurity
and desires to be free
you think we dont have any

stauch believers of our values
right or wrong we never know
we only reap what we sow
and decide where we go

we often head the wrong way
doing things on wrong days
who's to say we're wrong anyway?
we're all young


*dedicated to all way ward youths, this must be how u feel*

dun cry for me

dun cry for me, dry your tears on me
dun think of all our memories
be strong, dun let them fall
time is what we do not have

letting go is hard, it rips me apart
i know when i leave
u'll be left with a broken heart
im losing touch with time

dun let go of my hand
i'll miss u as much as u'll miss me
every smile every minute we had together
every moment im sure we cherished

we'll part for now with no regrets
im sure we'll meet again someday
so dun cry for me, dry ur tears on me
coz ure heartache wont last

sounds of grieve and times of mourning
they wont last as well
the tears will stop falling the hurts will heal
im sorry, i cant hold on, i gotta say goodbye

dun cry for me, dun let me leave
w memories of a tearful love
i'll hold back my tears
i'll think of happy times

nothing lasts forever
our time here has come to an end
we'll go to a better place, u and me
dun cry for me, dun cry for me

theres only so much i can hold onto, to hold back
forgive me if i let them fall
forgive me for leaving so soon
i cant hold on

tears will fall, we cant hold them back
but still i'll tell u, as my tears fall
dun cry for me, dry ur tears for me
hold onto me, i fear for u

cope for me, remember me
but one thing,
dun cry for me,
no amount of tears can bring me back.....


*dedicated to all survivors, to all who have lost loved ones and to any who have suffered due to the damage caused by the tsunami that ravaged asia in december, 2004*

reason for this season

gifts given to each other
trees adorn every street corner
wishes overheard by a countless number
a joyous occasion?

christmas hymms broadcasted
even over sitted buddhas
meaningless to many
are the lyrics of salvation

lights are hung up
the bright star on the tree
presents for everyone else
lets not miss out

some dun celebrate
the birthday of Christ
but guess we're not better off
forgetting what he did for us

christmas cheer and drunken hangovers
spending for loved ones is our only charity
or at best spending time watching the tv
surely, we're missing something...

surely the lights dun cover our darkness
surely the presents dun fill our void
surely the wishes dun give us peace
surely, christmas must mean so much more

more than the presents
more than the profits
more than even each other
Christmas doesnt hv Christ for naught!

party on at 8

sun goes down, tan gets back
dun go back home,
feed on the energy, i'll wont see straight
triple down on ur run towards the stars

honey dun let me go, i'll follow u
the party's started and im not going w/o u

stars are up fireworks playing
DJ's spinning we're dancing
i'll wait another day to buy a wedding ring
till then lets move right along

too much to do too little time
but i'll make do w anything
coz time w u is eternity
till then lets be free

party on down from 8
wun stop till late

the perfect date

Wax

white in black
keeping it all back
no combs juz hands

topping it of
with a smile
green braces guard u

sweet innocence
im taken in
cant wait to see u

white in black
keeping it on
just emotions

i wanna see u

band

acoustic guitar strumming
bass rumbling
drumming out a sad symphony

electric's twisting and balancing
no one's singing
lead man's voice comes on

sad sympathy's belted out
the band plays out
the band goes out

the band dreams of broadway
of mtv awards of billboards
the band sings on
plays on the sad sympathy

pieces

jumping at ur sound
pacing at ur steps
wishing upon ur star
tearing up what i find

seeking things under my skin
making destiny live
living for the night
living for ur sight

blown over, falling down
torn apart turned around
i jumped at ur sound
ripping of my frown

wishing forgiving
what a sound
where are u?
not seeing not feeling
me in pieces
utmost sensitivity
of human depths
