Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever reveal

Enough of myself for somebody to love.

The last woman who saw all of me

Didn’t think all of me was enough.

I swear I’m just a sucker

for a broken heart.

I always fall for those

who are falling apart.

I look for love and

end up playing games.

I guess that’s why Human

Is my name.

I’ve been beaten,

I’ve been bruised.

I’ve been Overlooked and abused.

I’ve been cheated,

I’ve been screwed.

I’ve been Left for dead

And Broke in two

But that’s still no excuse

For a broken heart

To come unglued.

I just got through

Piecing back together

All the pieces you left

We work in rain

We drive through snow

We take the heat

We bare the cold

We work with our hands

Until we can’t work anymore.

When something needs fixing

That’s where we go

We’re constantly moving

All over the road.

The work may be hard

But we’re not soft

We work all day

Until the clock falls off.

You won’t find us Closing deals

Over a table cloth

But we finish what we start.

Because company men

Play their part.

We pour our heart,

sweat and blood

Into the steel

we weld in mud.

We give our backs

To the job

If that’s what it takes

To get it done.

We get rewarded

for finishing early,

Our days start and end

At the shop.

When you work

with company men

The cream always

I’ve been laying in my bed With my eyes closed

and my mind open.

Listening to these thoughts Drift in and out like the ocean.

I’ve been Choking on self doubt,

Cutting myself open.

How come I’m always left hoping?

I’m spilling my guts

tell me you aren’t joking?

If this is love then why isnt it showing?

If this is love why isn’t it growing?

Tell me it’s because I’m not enough of a man

For you to love I’ll understand.

I’ve always reached for stars and played in sand.

when I was with you I felt like Peter Pan.

But I guess kids grow, and boys turn into men.

That’s how life goes, what starts must come to end.

I fear finding love is like finding neverland. Only kids know when it’s really in their hands.

Only kids know?

That sounds like a big joke

I miss the simple days When I used to skip rocks and jump rope.

I had high hopes.

until I hit deep slopes.

I thought by my age I would have a woman in my scopes.

But the truth is all I have is hope.

I treat women like queens

And get passed on like a note.

My hearts broke,

But atleast I have my mind,

Memories take me back

to the better times

I know I’ll find

Who I’m meant to be one day.

I know I ’ll find love.

I know I’ll be okay.

I just get caught up

In every moment every day.

I just get brought down

When people do me this way.

So if it’s not goodbye

Then it’s good riddance

I’m through with you like I am

With this sentence.

A couple years felt like

A couple minutes.

I loved you until

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

The mirror reflects the only one.

The heart holds all the damage done.

The mind runs from the setting sun

As A father looks down upon his son

Regret fills his house from damage done.

An angels mouth with a serpents tongue

Spits sin out like a loaded gun.

He wonders if he’s the only one.

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

Life to him is a setting sun.

With the heat on his back he’s on the run.

Wearing the blame, the prodigal son.

The trigger pulling boy known for fun.

But who supplied the bullets for the gun?

The father passed his sins to his only son.

The father watches the fire leave his eyes

As clouds fill the sky, angels cry.

He wouldn’t feel shame for any other guy.

the boy sits alone asking who am I.

The father screams down you are mine.

Thunder shakes the ground

As Lightning strikes.

Evils all around, it’s about to storm

All the boy can do now is hold on tight.

The mirror reflects a lonely one.

The mirror reflects the only one.

The heart holds all the damage done.

The mind runs from the setting sun

This is all for you father!

The boy shouts from his room.

All for you father!

For this you can’t excuse.

A sinful tune father!

Is what I play for you

To listen too father.

Have I payed my dues?

It only takes One man to hold a gun

When she wakes it calls her name.

She takes one to ease the pressure

And one more to keep her sane.

In a world that hurts like hell

She tries to manage the pain.

She thinks no one can tell

But her actions say everything.

Now She’s just broken pieces

Of a friend left in the past

Its not so easy living on a giant rock

When you are made of glass

Her words aren’t how she feels

She’s too good at hiding truth

In her mind chaos spills

But What she can’t see, She will feel.

Addiction really kills.

Living on her own it gets lonely

So she pops the pain away.

She’s not worried about tomorrow

When her problems are today.

So she pops the pain away

Like it’s all she knows is real.

She pops the pain away

Until she’s too numb to feel.

She pops the pain away.

She too fragile

for the rocks at the bottom

She’s too weak

To climb back to the top

She’s in too deep now

She will never stop

One too many pills

Will be why her coffin drops

And She will

Take me with her

Because she is all I’ve got

I wish I could make

The pain stop

But obviously I cannot

She pops the pain away

I’m broke down I need control,

The path to you left heart shaped holes.

In my head where darkness goes,

Demons fight To eat my soul.

Everyday I burn like coal,

Trying to find my hand to hold.

I’m quick to sell but never sold.

Like a lone wolf I was born to be bold.

I don’t want to be alone when I get old

So I’m reaching for my hand to hold.

I’ve heard there’s diamonds in the rough

And rainbows with pots of gold.

I hope you understand

That I’m making plans

To find my way

Past circumstance.

Buckle up,

Let’s take a ride.

Strength is force

But knowledge is power.

You can’t have braun

Without brain

Or you will get devoured.

Thoughts grow men

Similar to how water

Blooms a flower.

Insight is a light

that shines brighter

Than the sun

That warms our scars.

Knowledge is power.

A fight isn’t always won

By strength of arm.

.

Heart will go a mile

But a strong arm

Will stop it’s beat.

You need Yin, Yang,

Crazy and sane,

If you want to make

It on the street.

There’s been many

Nations fall

And many more to rise

But a lack of balance

Has always led To

United we stand

Divided we fight

We are the red,

blue and white.

Founded by fathers

Who had a dream

To put the power

In the people’s hands.

To hell with the King.

The sons of Liberty

Were ready for a fight.

Behind closed doors

They said we are

the red, Blue and white.

The American dream

Was born that night.

.

Since then there

Has been lines drawn

Lines crossed.

Wars fought,

Lives lost.

The country’s been divided

But freedoms Always won.

We’ve rose to the top

In this world and sought

To help more countries

Than one.

Now we carry a big stick

But we shouldn’t forget

How that stick was won.

We the people

Are the red, blue and white.
