VENUS

"Under Water I Drown"
To silence me in my whole world collapses around me here
Its what binds me, I breathe it in, I take it all in
Surface me, release the weight around me here
that makes me
suffocate, its too late
Every time I'm with you I just want to wish you away
Every time I'm near you I just want to push you away
Every time I see you I just want to see you away
You try to bring me under water... I drown
Let me be here in my place where I find only peace
floating around searching the ground I reach towards the sound
Set me free I can see what waters below me break
I hit the ground
Love is water and under water I drown
"Flesh and Blood"
Did you even care when I awoke into this life?
The bitterness inside of you, you took upon your wife.
Did you hate the way I looked at you with the fire in my eyes?
Yes I loved the way I looked at you when I said my last good bye.
You are not my Flesh you're not my Blood.
Youll never be a part of me,
Youll never have my Love.
All you did was criticize everything that I was.
You but the blame on my shoulders, because you weren't man enough.
Now I lead a better life just because youre gone.
No you mean nothing to me,
you're only my grandfather's son.
Forgive but dont forget
Live life without regret.
"Dying to Live"
I Feel so empty inside
I'm tired of trying to run and hide
I need to change the way I live
This time I will not give in.
Because I'm Dying to live
with everything thats happened
and I'm trying to give myself a better life
I need to open up my eyes.
All this pain that I've felt
has taken away a better part of me
Sometimes I wish I could disappear, but now
I know now I must face my fear.
"Take me Alive"
Weight around my shoulders
has only brought me down
like fire in the water
I'm lost within a cloud
with time I heal the days go by
sinking in deeper to occupy
the space between all this time
Its gone forever are you satisfied
Break break breaking me
you'll never break me
take take taking me
you'll never take me
break, take break
you'll never take me alive...
continued...
Lies behind my shoulders
will never bring me down
like soldiers in a battle
I fight to hold my ground
with pain I feel, my life goes by
falling faster I need to fly
out of this place and into my mind
you are lost forever and I realize.
Falling faster now
falling faster...
"Save Me"
Bloods running through my veins
hearts beating with the pain
Yet something here needs to change
to make it right just make it right.
On an empty soul I write these words unspoken
To taste your lips again would save me from within.
And if these words I write could change anything
the ink makes them be and my voice would let them see... that
No one can save me from you
No one can change me its true.
(save me from you)
Continued...
The way you lay next to me
makes me smile makes it all worthwhile
and when I look into your eyes see an unborn child living through our lives
you are the fire in my soul I need to feel to me know its real
now I know its real
And when you tell me time is all you need
Stops the fire in my soul
you-re the only truth I know.
"Green Grass"
White stones in an open field enclosing on what it is i see
I need more its not good enough
I dig deep to plant the Seed
Random patterns form the ground
They shift and change as the sun beats down
A curious thought creeps in mind
a better place to find
HELLO,
Beautiful minds feed our thoughts relentless giving for what is sought
Through the notions of what we seek Hold your tongue while we speak
And when the world cries out loud
Our Mother Earth will make us proud
Taking the grounds on what she owns Taking Lives
To live, to learn
to our love, to our life, to our friends, to our Fight
to our hate, to our death, to us all, to the end...
We need to change We want to Take
We need to care We have to break
we don't need your corporation, we don't want your hesitation
we just need some motivation, cultivation, inspiration...
"Metamorphosis"
Awake now to the sounds of the world outside of me
Only to find to myself, to get myself
back to what I need
I can feel now walls around collapse the air i breathe
I need to help myself, reinvent myself
I want the world to see that
This place won't change
Outside looking in I see...
My metamorphosis, I'm changing from what I use to be.
My metamorphosis, there's no more you and only me
Escape now to the light that seems to be guiding me
Only to stop myself, to lose myself in this fake reality
I can lose my eyes it will still be clear this false humanity
I need to fix myself to make myself I want the world to see that...
I can feel it in my skin
I'm changing from within...
