Immortal Memory

Verse 1
He's the only person that I've ever loved
Only person that I've confessed it to
I revealed the many anguishes in my life
He now knows how I truly feel about him
I've never been so honest to myself until now
I'm more at ease by confronting some of the pain
That resulted in him and I parting ways
Still, I know things won't be the same again
My world without him has changed in many ways

Verse 2
We were on a seeing each other basis
Now I desperately want to be your boyfriend
I take a blue-inked pen and write your name
On my chest, I write it on my right thigh
Who and what you are is the type of person
That I truly want to be with every day
The fact is: I have to make plans to see you
Plans which only involve you and I
Still, I know things won't be the same again
My identity without you has changed in many ways

Bridge 1
To forget everything is to deny
The deep love that I have for him
After all that has been said and done
The connection between us will remain
To ignore anything is tantamount to being insane

Bridge 2
Sleeping alone; not feeling alright
Stumbling in this dark light
That has stolen the sunshine from my life

Chorus
C. and I grew closer every day
Because of him, I feel more comfortable in being gay
I was willing to move in with him
To hold his hand in public
My immortal memory has got my first love as its captive

We Want Freedom

Verse 1
We want freedom
We're tired of being oppressed
And we won't stop until we achieve it
This war, oh this war is killing us daily
And soon enough we will cease to exist
We're no longer afraid of speaking our minds
Years of silence have done us no good
Propaganda will not deter us
We've formed an army of resistance

Verse 2
We want a future
Dictated by our needs and by our wants
We're tired of being slaves
This illusion, oh this illusion is undermining our potential
And soon enough we will cease to think
We're no longer afraid of standing up for ourselves
Years of inaction have led to regression
Obstacles and challenges will not deter us
We've formed a union of truth-seekers

Verse 3
We started a movement
The cause is just and moral
It will spread like a wildfire
This life, oh this life, is a gift for us to cherish
And soon enough we won't take it for granted
We're no longer afraid of being imperfect
Years of trying not to be have left us with nothing
Sins and misdemeanors will not deter us
We've formed a bond with the Almighty

Chorus 1
We have been down but we're far from out
We have been low with no place to go
After all the fear-mongering and control
We want freedom

Chorus 2
We have been down but we're far from out
We have been low with no place to go
After all the madness and intimidation
We want freedom

A Good House

Verse 1
Peace like a river - steadily flowing
Love like a circle - never-ending
Joy like a light bulb - shining brightly
Hope like a rainbow - full of promise
Laughter like a surprise - oh, so sweet
Faith like a fruit - very beneficial
Conversations like a novel
Always different each time it's real

Verse 2
It's built of more than bricks
It's built of more than stone
Windows so large
You can see the opening of its soul
Doors are portals into its generous heart
Harsh words don't exist
What is heard are beautiful ballads
Downstairs, upstairs - there's no difference
Wherever you are
Is just as good as any room
The exterior reveals much, but not all
Step inside to see and feel what goes on

Bridge
It's not for rent, it's not for sale
You can build your own
That way you can customize every square foot
You become the architect and the builder
The best investment you will ever make
Is owning a good house

Chorus
A good house has been built
With a solid foundation
And when storms pass through
It will still be standing
Those who live inside the house
Will turn it into a home
The one that everyone in the neighbourhood
Is envious of

I Can Hear You

Verse 1
We all learn how to crawl
And eventually we learn how to walk
Before we head out into the world
And build a life for ourselves
You're having difficulties walking on your own
And when you fall
No one's there to reach out a hand
For you to get back up
Using the strength that you have
Won't be enough to get off the ground

Verse 2
We all learn how to make sounds
And eventually we learn how to speak
Before we head out into the world
And build a life for ourselves
When you fell trapped
No one's willing to comfort you
To calm your fears

Bridge 1
To affirm is to agree it's true
And when you scream, I feel it too
I can hear you

Verse 3
We all learn how to take commands
And eventually we learn to make a stand
For all that is important to us
You mean the world to me

Chorus
I can hear you
Feel free to tell me what you need
My undivided attention is yours for the taking
If you need to express yourself
I'll be the witness by your side
If you call and no one answers
Know that I can hear you

Whatever You Want

Verse 1
You may be single and bright
Searching for someone to share your life
You may have qualities
That many would find appealing
But you're alone
You've got to be forthcoming with your intentions
It starts by being honest with yourself
Fakeness is futile
Misrepresentation will only lead to bitter feelings

Verse 2
First impressions are important
Rarely do we get a second chance
To showcase out best attributes
So be wise and make the most of it
You shouldn't rely on fate
To give you a love
Get it for yourself
Life is full of competition
And in order to win
You have got to want it more

Chorus
Whatever you want is out there
If you look hard enough
You will find what you are looking for
It's unnecessary to travel around the world
When what you want is in front of you
It's been there all along

Let Me Go

Verse 1
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Leave now and never return
Look away - You are not beautiful to me
I can't bare the sight of you
You make me sick to my stomach
Stop calling me
We have nothing to say to each other
Letters you write go into the garbage can
Stop following me
I've got no place to go
You're no longer in my life
And there's good reason for that

Verse 2
When you speak, I tune your voice out
Scream as loud as you can
I will not hear you
I've got more important things to do
Than to waste time with the likes of you
You don't mean anything to me
How could you be foolish to believe that you do?
I would like to forget about you
But I can't because you haven't left yet

Verse 3
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Your baggage weighs a ton
I won't carry it for you
Here's the simple truth you try to ignore
I do not love you and I never will

Bridge 1
How heartless do you want me to be
Until you finally know the real me
You're pushing harder and more frequently
Even if you don't know what you're doing

Bridge 2
Let me go
I was never yours to begin with
Leave now and never return

Chorus
I'm not into playing head games
Don't you understand that you're driving me insane?
I never signed up for any of this
So take me off your list
And let me go

You Are Not The One

Verse 1
Oranges are not the only fruit
This may be a shock to your system
But I guess we're back where we started
You're wounded and I'm holding the bow
It wasn't malicious intent on my part
But I hate to tell you
That 'I told you so'

Verse 2
You can say you knew me
When we were close
Since then, we've grown apart
When only the memory remains
Feelings have dissipated
And emotions are remembered
I could have been crowned king for a day
Then I'd be a fool for a lifetime

Bridge
Not all who wander are lost
I know what I'm searching for
This bridge, I must cross
Wrestling over tiny matters
Is what we'd do
If we stayed together
You've got to admit
That you are not the one for me

Chorus 1
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I would die for
You are not the one
That I could open up to
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

Chorus 2
You are not the one
That I want to wake up next to
You are not the one
That I want to hold in my arms
You are not the one
That I want to grow old with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me

Chorus 3
You are not the one
That I want to spend my life with
You are not the one
That I love with everything in me
You are not the one

Move Along

Verse 1
Took the punches and beatings
Ran for dear life
Knocked on a neighbour's door
So I wouldn't sleep outside
The extension cord that left bruises on me
Was the same one used to plug in the fan
During a heatwave
Babysitter left, I dialled 9-1-1
The authorities threatened to take me away
Parents came rushing home
And unleashed a punishment
That I could never forget
Even if I tried

Verse 2
I was always distant form those around me
Unable to form a lasting connection
Years passed and I was still afraid
Of becoming more of myself

Verse 3
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother and father are nowhere to be found
My legacy will be controlled by me

Bridge 1
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother and father become my enemy
The queen and the king ruled in a burning castle

Bridge 2
I've known pain since I was a child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother was clueless, father was selfish
The queen ruled over the king
In a make believe empire

Bridge 3
I've known pain since I was child
Innocence was stolen
Self-image was broken
Mother was angry, father was absent
The queen controlled every aspect of her domain
But now I'm the king of myself
I chose to move along

Chorus
Not only was I remembering my past
I was haunted by it
The time came for me to move along
And I chose to without hesitation

Born To Be Blue

Verse 1
Happiness is fiction
When all you've known is sadness
Smiling is possible
Only when it's forced
Laughter is poisonous
When you're subjected to ridicule
It's the only thing you hear
As you replay it in your mind

Verse 2
Love is over-rated
When you're indifferent to it
Joy is just another word
When it's not felt
There's no such thing as kindness
When you want something in return
Promises do not exist
When lying is the norm

Bridge
This is not a dream
It's as real as it gets
You feel low each and every day
Pain is the only thing you've known

Chorus 1
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
Born to be blue

Chorus 2
You were born to be blue
A state of mind that is permanent
You were born to be blue
A way of life that is unchanging
You were born to be blue
You had no say in the matter
You were born to be blue
It's the only thing you know how to do
You were born to be blue
I feel like I am just like you
I, too, am blue

Untitled (Possible Title: Journey)

Verse 1
In the age of loneliness
Getting through each day is difficult
In many ways it's dangerous
Dangerous to our survival
Not all of us can cope
With the hardships that we endure
A bridge and a river
Seem to be the only option

Verse 2
Handsome creatures are like trinkets
They all come and they all go
The glimmering shine starts to fade
It's value becomes questionable
So you engage in trading
Searching for something brighter
You don't know who you are
You can't determine what you want to be
No passion equates to no action
A driving force can get you far
Ambition and attitude can help construct your narrative

Verse 3
Assigning meaning to things
Makes us different from animals
But that doesn't necessarily
Mean that we won't act like them
Being careless and free
Is what many of us dream to be
Reality and its outcomes sometimes aren't dealt with
How the mind functions is truly fascinating
Everything begins and ends between the ears

Chorus
Half the world away
There's someone like you
In your position
But you'll never know
If you don't grow out
The journey is long

Simple Pleasures

Verse 1
Oh, a stranger
A stranger in the night
Venturing into an unfamiliar place
With one thought
Only one thought in his mind
To overcome the dullness of his life
With another stranger
Excitement can be elusive and fleeting
The element of surprise
Can be the beginning of joy
Disappointment is always a possibility
But as the say: Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Bridge 1
Transform yourself into an adventurer
Reach out and grab onto something new
Hesitation stands in the way of boldness
Reach out and reveal a part of you

Verse 2
Intentions always start with a touch
Sometimes what you see
Encourages you to make a move
With a smile and mutual interests
Talented tongues can be put to good use
Ecstasy can be elusive and fleeting
Descending from a high creates deeper longing
Rejection is always a possibility
But as they say: There is someone for everyone

Bridge 2
Make others feel all that you are
Reach out and grab onto something new
Inquisitiveness is a good quality to have
Reach out and express yourself naturally

Bridge 3
Discover what has been lacking in your life
Reach out and grab onto something new
Time never waits for anyone
Reach out and create new memories

Chorus
Life is full of simple pleasures
Unexpected and greatly rewarding
Cherish simple pleasures
The fragility of passion surrounds

Untitled (Possible Title: Flesh And Bone)

Verse 1
Your heights commands attention
I immediately take notice of you
Even in dim lighting
You know that I'm what you're looking for
Your boldness is manifested
Through the touch of my posterior
You've got a taste for pleasure
Without hesitation, you go down on me
Just where are you from?
I hear a slight accent in your voice
If you're not from around here
Take me away with you

Verse 2
After a brief interruption
You reappear with the same look in your eyes
The look of wanting, the look of hunger
Solo activity is unnecessary
External satisfaction is exactly what you need
My breath will coat your skin
You'll be rushing red
Let it flow, let it grow
If you must, let it blow
You'll choose the natural kind

Bridge 1
In the daytime, there's confusion
When the skies darken, clarity abounds
Excitement slowly rises
And reaches a fever pitch
On the beat of a desire-filled heart

Bridge 2
In the daytime, there's chaos and tension
When the skies darken, relief abounds
Excitement slowly rises
And reaches a fever pitch
On the thrust of a dogged-out man

Chorus
Oh, there's so much sweetness
And just a small amount
Can push you over the edge
The edge of flesh and bone
Which unites strangers like you and I
In a commonly uncommon world

Untitled (Possible Title: Anything)

Verse 1
You're a w-h-o-r-e
An ungrateful w-h-o-r-e
You'd spread your legs for anyone
If they offered you trinkets
You'd take them without hesitation
Placing limits is what you don't do
Any part of your body is what you'll use
Open your mouth, open it wide
Let others put whatever they want inside
You're a w-h-o-r-e
An ungrateful w-h-o-r-e
The glare in your eyes strike to the core

Verse 2
You're a s-l-u-t
An easy-on-all-sides s-l-u-t
The "Lights! Camera! Action!" type
If it's a thought, it'll be acted out
And once it's acted out
It'll be repeated
You don't aim to please
And you don't aim to disappoint
You just do whatever comes naturally
You're a s-l-u-t
An easy-on-all-sides s-l-u-t
The smoothness of your skin electrifies the senses

Bridge
You're a w-h-o-r-e and you know it
You're a s-l-u-t and you feel it
You're a w-h-o-r-e and you like it
You're a s-l-u-t and you get it
You're a w-h-o-r-e and a hater
You're a s-l-u-t and a lover

Chorus
A kiss, a touch
Nothing is too much
You'll do anything
A lick, a f-u-c-k
It doesn't matter
You'll say anything
All places, all scenes
Eventually, anything goes
You'll never disagree

Untitled (Possible Title: Unshackled!)

Verse 1
I don't know your name
I don't know where you're from
I don't even know what you're doing here
When you touch me
You energize me
When I capture your attention
You notice me
Unapologetic sensuality
Is what you desire in me
You can call me whatever you like
I'd follow you to any place
You're captivatingly mysterious
And you make me want to
Experience everything about you

Verse 2
If you have secrets
I'd like to know them
Whispers in confidence won't be weaponized
Any story you tell, I'll believe you
If you lean forward, I'll delve into you
Blending of flesh will create a tapestry of inspiration
We'll be able to discover
The deepest parts of ourselves
I'll be revitalized when you're unified
I'll absorb you once you're locked inside of me
You're an uncommon wonder and I'm in awe

Verse 3
Good company is hard to find
I've been lucky enough to meet you
You're a joy, you're a thrill, you're magnetic
I've become acquainted with amusement
I've become acquainted with excitement
Discovering you has colourized my point of view
My blood has been electrified
I'm renewed

Chorus
What a beautiful distraction you are
When I'm in your presence
Nothing else matters
Who can tell what the future holds?
Not you, not I
Fighting time is just not practical
I want to savour every moment of it with you
Let's feel alive
Let's be unshackled from the pressures of society

C-u-n-t

Verse 1
Am I a sum total of my conquered genes?
Am I a reflection of tortured bones?
Am I a member of a defective collective?
Quiet by nature
Not prone to gossip or soft, empty words
But if provocation occurs
I'll surely erupt like a volcano
You've been put on notice

Verse 2
Am I distractingly insecure
Or just commonly cowardly?
Am I inherently selfish
Or just oblivious to foreign affairs?
Hustler by nature
But if someone offers their finances
I'll accept their generosity

Verse 3
Am I eternally infected with grudges?
Am I naturally threatening?
Am I afflicted with double consciousness?
Inquisitive by nature
Constantly assessing my status in this world
Putting things into perspective is transformative

Chorus 1
Hate, indifference
C-u-n-t
Inferior, narcissistic
C-u-n-t
Dominant, reactive
C-u-n-t
Broken, worthy
C-u-n-t

Chorus 2
Malicious, insignificant
C-u-n-t
Vulnerable, defensive
C-u-n-t
Stubborn, acquiescent
C-u-n-t
Directionless, resilient
C-u-n-t

Chorus 3
Deceitful, underestimated
C-u-n-t
Naive, unrefined
C-u-n-t
Defiant, unpopular

Difficult, unapathetic

Untitled (Possible Title: Legacy)

Verse 1
That well over there is dry as rock
You ain't gonna get no water
Come over to me, I'll give you some water
No strings attached, I promise
It's hard to believe in almost anything
When the world is constantly changing
I thought I know some things, including myself
But I'm just as confused as most people

Bridge 1
Help is something we all need
Is something we all crave
Just once in a while
We need to be lifted up
If you showcase your kindness and generosity
You'll be rewarded in so many great ways

Verse 2
Occasionally, we engage in comparison
We want to know how we measure up
If we lack confidence
then our growth is stunted
Limited progress becomes the norm
We dream about heroes
To come and rescue us
From the destruction of the world
Instead of realizing our contributions
And wanting to solve our own problems

Bridge 2
Help is something we all need
Is something we all crave
Just once in a while
We need to be lifted up
If you showcase your creativity and intelligence
You'll be rewarded in so many great ways

Chorus 1
Love, hate and life
And everything under the sun
Love, hate and life
Do you want to leave a legacy?
And what will that legacy be?

Chorus 2
Love, hate and life
And everything else in between
Love, hate and life
Do you want to leave a legacy?
And what will that legacy be?

Something New

Verse 1
I'm liking your div chic
Casually cool and mysteriously captivating
Where are you from?
Why are you here?
You tower over me
I look up to you with such rare admiration
In your line of view
You draw me closer to your side
I'm claimed as your prize
When you undress me with your eyes
Where are you from?
Why are you here?

Verse 2
You're confidently aware of who you are
And what you wish to attain
Your soothing energy spills directly into me
A rush of senses collide
And burst into our cores
I've never experienced your ways of being
And I like how you elevate me into your sphere
The motions we make against the backdrop of time
Resonate along the touch of our skin
You're blissfully satisfying

Verse 3
When you reach out your hand
You form a connection with me
I hope it's unbreakable
I'll use what I have and you'll do the same
I like how you think
Your ideas are refreshingly bold
And they make me believe in who you are
When you decide on something
You act swiftly
You're beautifully and incredibly inspiring

Chorus
So sharp, so real, so good
Something new I'm experiencing
So sharp, so real, so good
Something new I'm excited about

Outro
Dreams only occur when you're sleeping
When you're sleeping
When you're sleeping

Untitled

Verse 1
When you have nothing
You think about everything
It's difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality
They seem vivid and they look so sharp
For all you know this could be the cruellest joke
Sifting through the noise in your mind is daring
You have to challenge your fears
And your preconceived notions
You're in a state of vulnerability
But you're strong enough to analyze your identity
Only if you believed

Verse 2
Generational mess is a recurring pest
When you reach the peak of a hill
You come tumbling down
Recollecting yourself can reveal
The awfulness of the world
Every word, every sight
Surrounding you like an army
You're in a weakened state
But you're strong enough to resist defeat
Accepting your identity is powerful
Only if you believed

Verse 3
What you present is not how it's perceived
You can't control how others respond to your intentions
Wanting acceptance and being indifferent to opinions
Is an occasional struggle you have yet to come to terms with
You're in state of fragility
But you're strong enough to rebuild your fractured psyche
Only if you believed

Chorus
If I had a penny for every thought
I'd be wealthy
Instead they dwell in me
Just like a hurricane
Waves of ideas and floods of regret
Permeate every part of my mind

We Are Men

Verse 1
We're not just beast for the slaughterhouse
We are men, we are men
Evidence of a war being waged against us are prevalent
Enemies surround us
If you're groomed as a slave
You'll eventually become a slave
But if you resist their conditioning
You'll have control of your mind and your senses

Verse 2
You can wear all the sunglasses you want
It won't eliminate the shame you feel
For allowing the madness to seep onto your bloodstream
You're beating yourself up
If you speak to be understood
You still have to clarify your intentions
And how it could possibly impact the world
And future generations

Verse 3
Pretty songs and modern dancing
Are a useful distraction
Against the acquisition and application of knowledge
Entertainment is profitable
Dignity is admirable
Having principles is necessary
When you're the builders of nations
You can't be hesitant to rule
Your actions define you

Chorus 1
Children cry and children play
Our behaviour many yesterdays
We construct and we destroy
The many things which surround us
Still, we don't know if we're progressing
We are men

Chorus 2
Children cry and children play
Our behaviour many yesterdays
Still, we don't know if we're progressing
We are men
We know and we think we know

The Terminator

Verse 1
Thicken your lips
Bleach your skin
Buy your hair
You're still disgusting
Spray perfume
Wear make-up
Buy your buttocks
You're still unappealing
You call yourself a 'Queen'
They call you a 'Queen'
But you hate yourself more than anyone else
And so you inflict misery upon others

Verse 2
Countless men in jail
Countless men dead
Indifference prevails
You're disgusting
Being a member of a protected class
Means reality is optional
You're unappealing
You call yourself a 'Queen'
They call you a 'Queen'
But you're the least desired woman in the world
And so you inflict misery upon others

Bridge
You fight in the streets
Like you're a wild beast
You have a tendency
To take things to the extreme
An increasingly number of people
Know how you operate
And they want nothing to do with you

Chorus
You have the ability to wipe out
Everything in your presence
A dangerous alliance you have formed
With the one who thinks most like you
You've been designed to act a certain way
As the leaders, you always fail
You don't realize your brains are fried
You're overly emotional
This is the life of a terminator
