I have been writing poetry AND LYRICS since I was 8 years old. I have written thousands of poems and song lyrics. I have written in English, Portuguese, Spanish and a tiny bit in French.
If you like one of these songs and need to have the lyrics touched up, for instance if you are a girl and need the song to be rewritten to make sense from a girls point of view, I can do that for you just e-mail me.

BACK TO YOU When my day begins I've got you on my mind where you are? how you're feeling? what sort of love you hope to find? will you make my heart your home? will we ever find a way? to be there for each other throughout each and every day EVERYTHING I DO GOES BACK TO YOU GOES BACK TO YOU, GOES BACK TO YOU When my day is ending and it's time to say my prayer I pray the Lord keep you safe since I can not be there That's my normal routine with a little bit of play every twenty four hours start and end the same way STAY How do I want to be heard? what do I want to say? I struggle with the word I struggle with the way I just want to be clear clear as the light of day that I want you here that I want you to stay SO STA------------AY I WON'T HURT YOU PLEASE STA---------AY I WON'T DESERT YOU What do you need to know to make your heart at ease what do I need to show will you stay? pretty please? DRIVING ME CRAZY I remember like it was today the taste of your lips, the touch of your hand I remember because it won't go away the softness of your hair, the scent of your skin I CLOSE MY EYES AND MM-MMM-MMM BABY YOU'RE STILL DRIVING ME CRAZY It was a hot night of passion so full of touch, full of discovery So long ago but I can't imagine that I'll forget and make a full recovery 1/2 CHANCE All I want is for you to see me like I do and give me half a chance just a little fraction a bit more action more than just a glance why do you think you can tell that you know me so well from miles and miles away we are so far apart how do you know my heart or the things it feels today? HALF A CHANCE TO SHOW HALF A CHANCE TO GROW HALF A CHANCE AND NOTHING MORE HALF A CHANCE TO LAUGH HALF A CHANCE JUST HALF COULD MEAN THE WHOLE SCORE Don't stop before the start put the horse before the cart it won't work that way at all don't bring on the end before we even begin even stars need time to fall hold on a little longer feelings can grow stronger and you could be surprised things come to those who wait insecurities slowly fade into a love you never realized WHAT GIVES ANYWAY |

SUICIDE CHILD Suicide child Feeling pain through her smile But you'd never know Her heart's in the breeze Just to do what she please Puts on some kind of show Keeps her face in hiding Always looks so inviting I never know if she's real Hopeful for romance If given half a chance I would spin her wheel NO USERS, ABUSERS OR NO-TOO-CHOOSERS NO ONE GETS IN LINE ALL WLAKERS, NO GAWKERS OR TOO-FAST-TALKERS THEY PAY HER NO MIND Denial situation Out of desperation Talks to the man in the moon My life is a disgrace Get me out of this place And today is not too soon Detrimental runner All the people shun her Just get out of her way It's hard to see clear But just hang in there Every bitch gets her day |

WHOLE WORLD IS ROCKING I've listened to your songs I can't hear a single word So I've tried for the music It's too loud to be heard I hear you bitching and crying About your point of view But it's hard to be open When it's only done for you THE WHOLE WORLD IS ROCKING I DON'T FEEL SAFE AT ALL THE WAY THE WORLD IS ROCKING I THINK IT'S GONNA FALL No one enjoys a show screaming way too loud and when no one listens you shoot into the crowd bombs in the subways innocents standing by thinking someone will listen if enough people die don't even talk to us we know you're insane if we catch you in our sights we'll rearrange your brain you're such a tough guy in your secret hiding place but if I had you here I'd rearrange your face |

BIGGER GUNS These demons I've been fighting with Using a magic feather, an ancient myth I had more faith when I was a kid It was all more believable then Now I'm finding as I get older The monkey grows bigger on my shoulder The demons get bolder, bolder and bolder And I'm all out of strength to fight them SEND IN THE CAVALRY GET THEM AWAY FROM ME SEND IN THE BIGGER GUNS CAN'T FIGHT WITH THESE ONES SEND IN THE C.I.A.

SEND IN THE CAVALRY |
| ALL DIRECTIONS I was kicking at the carcass To see if it was really dead When the things I never miss Go and raise their ugly head I should've been years away But I'm slow on the draw Another stubborn mule day That's got to be the last straw I'M HEADING WEST I'M HEADING EAST GOT TO MOVE FAST GET AWAY FROM THE BEAST I'M HEADING NORTH I'M HEADING SOUTH PUTTING UP A FORT FOR KEEPING HER OUT I'M HEADING UP I'M HEADING DOWN AND I WON'T STOP TILL SHE CAN’T BE FOUND A MILLION SELECTIONS FOR MY PATH TO STEER AND ALL DIRECTIONS LEAD FAR AWAY FROM HERE The bitch’s been barking And she ain’t afraid to bite The way she been harking Take your head off tonight Leave the sleeping dog lie And walk away real slow If you look her in the eye You’ll make a lifetime foe WHAT"S HE GOT? Two bit musician A truck in lousy condition Nothing but holes in the pockets of his denim blues He's got long golden locks But a bit shy on looks I wouldn't be caught dead in his shoes SO WHAT'S HE GOT THAT I HAVEN'T GOT BESIDES YOU? You're the beauty he's the beast Guess some of us expect the least But then how low can we go? Is it personality? Is it his originality? What's he got I ain't got? I gotta know |
WALK ON WATER Mama says, it don't look right But I don't know about her sight Well, she's getting old after all She calls it the "Age of Decadence" The "Generation of no Innocence:" But I'm not sure I've taken the fall IF I COULD WALK ON WATER WOULD THAT BE ENOUGH? CAUSE I'VE BEEN GOOD AND ALL THAT STUFF My girl's been acting crazy Say's I'm too wild, I'm too lazy Yet sleeps all day goes out all night She says that I am her misery Doesn't do a thing for me Yet she thinks she's in the right Now you come and stand here Saying I don't fight fair And you're gonna make me pay I've been good, I've been true What have I done to you? To ever make you feel this way? FAR FROM WHERE YOU ARE YOU CAN NEVER GET TOO FAR |
| TO BE ALL INSIDE I wanna cry a little tear of joy that is hard to hide I want to reach out with no fear and pull you deep inside wrap my soul around you and keep your dreams fed I want my love to break through and raise you from the dead I wanna have our lips kiss our bodies love till we are raw I wanna wrap your heart in bliss and leave you standing in awe TO BE ALL INSIDE TO BE ALL AROUND TO BE THE OTHER SIDE BE THE LOVE YOU'VE NEVER FOUND as my body disparately crawls over yours begging and spread I want lust echoing in your halls and my moans dying in your bed to open my eyes at dawn and do it all, all over again as I hungrily feast my eyes upon your smile and your skin I've become a man full of emotion full of passion on you to be fed I am craving your devotion like no man you've ever had TO BE ALL INSIDE TO BE ALL AROUND TO BE THE OTHER SIDE BE THE LOVE YOU'VE NEVER FOUND You've got to know it's the true chance we have been waiting for cause I know you feel it too like we've never felt it before |
DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL My life is full Of contradictions Between the living And the dead I'm all alone With my addictions It seems like My sanity's fled I see no point In salvation No light To point the way I've made This dire situation On the bed In which I lay I PUT IT ON THE LEVEL BUT IT'S NOT ALL IN MY HEAD THE DAUGHTER OF THE DEVIL'S BEEN LAYING IN MY BED I've been lying Wide awake As she's dancing In the dark If I only Had a stake I could push it Through her heart I'm not much On religion Oh! But Lord How I pray That you come Take this vision And make her Vanish away |
| FASTER, HARDER Today is so unlike the past Everything is on a timing test Boy you better not even think Cause it's over before you blink IT'S FASTER IT'S HARDER IT'S STRONGER IT'S SMARTER IT'S LONGER IT'S FATTER BUT IT AIN'T FEELING ANY BETTER What happened to the age of romance? The golden age of song and dance? When you took the time to enjoy Pursuit of happiness is just a ploy |
| UP IN NO WHERE Mama you always said I shouldn't go climbing Cause I might hurt myself But they've got me higher And they've got me dryer Than the dust on the top shelf You always said That I shouldn't jump Cause I might break something But if I had to do it over Mama I would have tried everything THERE'S NO OPENNINGS ANYWHERE AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE MAMA HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE WHEN THEY'VE CLOSED ALL ROADS TO ME Mama you always said not to play rough Cause I might hurt someone Young boys need not be tough When comforted I should run Mama they've got me cornered Better than a T-square And they pigeon holed my life In a bin labeled "No Where" You said always do the right thing And God will watch over you When you hit a wall my son Say a prayer or two But I've been praying long and hard And you, Longer and harder still Mama if I don't save myself Believe me nobody else will |
TAKE CARE You can change your location you can't change your destination that's why it's called destiny You can change your perception and accept less perfection in what you refuse to see You can change your work hours rearrange your pretty flowers but it all turns out the same And, as a matter of fact you can send it all back it follows you just the same TAKE CARE OF THE SOUL THE BODY WILL FOLLOW TAKE CARE OF THE SOUL THE BODY WILL FOLLOW You can change your number change the name you go under but you're the same in the mirror You can't hide from you though sometimes you try to no one understands you clearer You can change your hair change the clothes you wear and make yourself look smart You've got lots of love to share but you better take care cause you can't change your heart TAKE CARE OF THE SOUL THE BODY WILL FOLLOW TAKE CARE OF THE SOUL THE BODY WILL FOLLOW |
| OH! SALLY-O Sally was a screamer Hell, I never seen her Without a smile on her face Head she could rock it Hip she could lock it Right there in it's place OH-OH SALLY, YOU COULD RALLY AS ONLY SOME GIRLS DO OH-OH SALLY, CAN YOU TELL ME WHATEVER HAPPENED TO YOU Thinking I was clever Left, I wouldn't have her Anymore than maybe twice Now that I need her The plow and the seeder End up paying the price Deep in her hollow Or feeding her swallow Was always so much fun "Come On" she would cry "Just let it fly" and she always got it to run |
FREEDOM Today I think of you My heart and mind are open wide When I said we were through You were quick to step aside How we traded all our years For a chance to start anew But every time another nears She never compares to you Because between you and me There was no one better I fit you down to the "T" And you knew me to the letter SO YOU GOTTA HOLD ON TILL THE LOVE IS ALL GONE To be free doesn't take much And anybody can succeed But surviving in love and such You gotta be willing to bleed Cause sometimes the work is hard And the pay sometimes cheap Don't be so quick to discard A love you know you should keep Gotta hold on with both hands Plant your feet, stand your ground There's a lot of freedom in these lands And not enough love to go around |
| I'D FALL I still got your taste on my lips Got your smile on my mind Your scent follows on the wind I can't seem to leave it behind' It's just like a chain reaction One thing connects to them all Keeps me so near the edge If I got any closer and I'd fall Any closer I'd fall YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE THINGS YOU DO TO ME AND JUST HOW YOU BEND MY REALITY YOU DON'T REALIZE ANYTHIGN AT ALL CAUSE IF YOU GOT ANY CLOSER .... I'D FALL You've got me dreaming like crazy I have to keep control somehow Got me living for the next time Got to keep myself here and now U can't be true to m y heart If it runs every time you call I got to keep a grip on myself Cause if I ever slip I would fall |
ANGEL OF TEMPTATION Mother says she has seen So many souls coming clean She prays night and day for salvation She says "haven't you heard?" You must follow the word Do your best stay away from temptation Oh but she doesn't understand You were made by God's hand She can't see the angel I see in you No she can't realize That you fell from the skies Just like all the others angels do SWEET, SWEET TEMPTATION SWEET, SWEET TEMPTATION ARE YOU FOR SIN OR SALVATION? I hear the preachers preach That the bible's words teach Of the devil's cunning deceptive ways No way an Angel like you Could have anything to do With helping sinners like me to stray I already know the drill Let them say what they will Who the hell are they to know No need to move slowly I am sure you are holy Where else would Angels grow |
| OPEN THE DOOR Here I am by myself again Right next door but you won't let me in Cause so many times your heart's been scarred Now all of your doors have been barred So much pain keeps you away from me You lock yourself in thinking you are free There's nothing anyone can say or do If change is gonna come has to start with you OPEN THE DOOR LET YOURSELF OUT OPEN THE DOOR AND LET ME IN OPEN THE DOOR DON'T YOU HEAR ME SHOUT OPEN THE DOOR I AM A FRIEND Things get so cold we are both alone Playing on each other's fears to justify our own Each so afraid to get hurt by the other That we sit so close yet go no further Staring at each other as we hurt inside Instead of opening up we struggle to hide And put up this front that looks so strong Knowing down inside that it's all wrong |
DEMONS What you do with the pain when you're going through hell again and again you go under that spell well my friend I've been dying to warn you some of your demons are trying to burn you LOOK TO THE LIGHT THERE'S A PATH THAT'S RIGHT NO BAPTISM OF FIRE COULD GET YOU ANY HIGHER All these afflictions you shake and you shiver my friend these addictions are selling you down river crossroads go by which way to turn do you wish to fly or do you wish to burn? |
| DRIVING ME CRAZY I remember like it was today the taste of your lips, the touch of your hand I remember because it won't go away the softness of your hair, the scent of your skin I CLOSE MY EYES AND MM-MMM-MMM BABY YOU'RE STILL DRIVING ME CRAZY It was a hot night of passion so full of touch, full of discovery So long ago and I can't imagine that I'll forget and make a full recovery |
PROMISED LAND I've seen deliverance in your eyes Of soft moons and lullabies I am not sure I understand I've seen hope in your face Seen your smile shinning grace And pointing to the promised land But I am jaded on religion afraid to trust my vision cause I have been so fooled before to believe all was heaven sent to be reborn and repent do I even need that anymore? PROMISE ME WE WILL SEE THE PROMISED LAND PROMISE ME WE WILL SEE THE PROMISED LAND I've seen signs of salvation collided with creation and had it all fall apart I've knelt in the light Felt the truth shinning bright Burning dreams in my heart I am hesitant at best So afraid of the past Even as you hold out your hand I don't want my heart hurting I want to be certain We'll reach the promised land |
