BEGIN TO START
they say to me "don't be hangin' on.
if you won't go on, do i want to?"
i'll pray to see i'll pray to know provide for me won't let it go.
life confuses me (life confuses me)
can't find my way out of here i think i'd rather stay. (rather stay)
i think i'd rather stay.
when do i begin to start?
begin to let you into my heart?
why so sad when i look at you 'cause i'm away.
i know i feel it too.

SWING SET GIRL
it doesn't make any sense to me
i was in the park, almost too dark to see
i just couldn't help but stare
just me and her no one else was there
she's my swing set girl
she makes my heart sing
she's my swing set girl
i love to watch her swing
i know those kinda girls don't go for guys like me
so i guess i haven't got a lot to lose
but i just can't help wondering what's she gonna say to me

SMALL TOWN MINDS
you're the least of my problems,
i won't give you the time
you're the least of my worries
you're not worth your weight
i'll bet everything i have
that you'll be there to have what you call fun - but i don't care small town!
small minds!
this means you!
small town!
small minds!
you don't have a clue

FIRST CLASS MAIL
she says i'm negative
i just can't see it's her negativity depressing me
maybe i'm anti-american
me i don't think the problem is nationality
it's your point of view
she see's these things through dogma's narrow eyes
you question my integrity,
but i can't question yours
i have joy in what i know
but her interpretations bring me sorrow
how can i act like nothing's wrong and not communicate what's going on

back
 

CAN'T SEE NOT SAYING
it's been so long,
i feel so out of touch
thoughts cloud my heart
and head i think i think too much
the narrow path i follow,
is it the right way?
i keep on dwelling in
tomorrow i should be living in today!
i'm having trouble with my thought process
and i'm no engineer
all the road to my brains are there
and the directions just aren't clear
i can't sit back and let all of this go
want you to feel what i feel
and to know what i know
i can't see
not saying what's on my mind
are all things meaningless and a waste of time?

GSF (GIRLS SCHMIRLS FOUNDATION)
you didn't have to be so mean to me
i guess now i see how it's gonna be
i'm joining gsf,
i've made up my mind forget this thing called love,
it's a waste of time girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
not for one second have i understood why they do what they do,
why they say what they say always happens to my friends,
it always happens to me
it's taken me 19 years to finally see
she said "can we just be friends?
it's just not working out."
another broken heart that i can do without
girls ain't no good anymore, anyway!
not for one second have i understood why they do what they do,
why they say what they say

THOUGHTS AND IDEAS
are you intellectual?
do you really think you're in control?
you know what you believe, illogical,
you don't percieve what are we doing here?
our lives aren't even worth a can of beer
if the absolute does not exhist
you're just another number on a list
you refuse to take some one elses thoughts & ideas
it might point out your mistakes
then you'll have to change
you criteria
take the time to reflect the status quo
before you reject the opportunities given to you
how can there be an issue of morality?
if there is no absolute, everthing is relative

EASIER SAID THAN DONE
no one here is innocent as far as i can see.
it happens each and everyday condoned by you and me.
is if right to take the very best only for yourself.
thinking of no other one only of yourself.
i was lost then i was found
but my selfishness still brings me down
was blind but now i see
this selfishness in front of me
now i'm thinking about doing the right thing
everday it's really hard to do
but it's easy to say by myself
i fall but in him i stand everytime i doubt he shows me again

ROCK N' ROLL GIRL
i don't know what to do, i dont know what to say.
it hurts me to let go when she looks at me that way.
oh can she see, what she's doing to me?
i thought that she was mine, i guess i was wrong.
it seems she's changed her mind,
looks like she's moved along
couldn't understand what she was trying to say,
i finally figured out that i was in her way,
now i'm okay she wasn't too down with rock and roll scene,
she wasn't too down with the pain that it brings, oh yeah.
she sprouted wings and flew away.

IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO MENTION
they all wanna talk when i'm not around but when i'm back in town they're no where to be found they got things to say about things they don't know and don't to show of intellectual conversation  words will often hide the truest form of intention i can see what you all lack inside isn't important enought to mention;  they won't deal with themselves wasting time doing something else temporary indoor fun they never go out into the sun my freedom to express has never been reasked more since when is it their chore to tell me what to live my life for  i know that you wanna hear i'm gone for good i know you want me to leave you won't get rid of me that easy  your hurting words in the end they'll mean nothing to me all your lies in the end your hungry eyes will see nothing to me....

LIFETIME ENLIGHTENMENT
you want something
you take it
can't hide from god
can't fake it
he knows your heart
he knows mine
you've only got a lifetime
have you no integrity?
your wasted mind,
your apathy
same old high school mystery
you're too dumb & blind to see
you've already made up your mind
you don't care
you don't wanna find
the truth will hit you like cement
too bad too sad it's too late for your enlightenment

SUGGESTION BOX
so many unanswered questions about those who hate so much most of which are mislead most of which are untouched they resort to violence to forcefeed their fascist views all we see is blood stained boots for no real reason on the news is there ever a second thought that slips on through their mind that this is sick and wrong that this is so unkind no tolerance for ignorance that's the way it should be i'll try not to judge you but i know there's two sides to see there's much more to me, why can't you see there's two sides to see

CREATION
you don't understand my views, or what it is i see nothing you say is news cause you wouldn't listen to me you take my words out of context, your message of wrong is right what are you gonna tell us next, that dark is day not light?  creation! is proof enough for me something that's there for everyone to see  you watch the wrong example then conclude a falacy your hasty generalization is there for all to see my actions you speak of is easier said than done the hope that god see's in you has got you on the run.

HONEST ANSWERS
i'll try to shed some common sense, situation so intense many questions, don't know whys & all the lies got tempers risin' there's 2 or 3 sides to it all, but just one truth if i recall looking to & thinking through, the word of god infinite, true if you want honest answers, i know you do, so say it's true we all want honest answers, something true, it's nothing new  you're threatened by what you don't understand, and it's time give up yourself, why won't you stop facading? this wicked world  so set in the ways, you've been taought day after day this nations brainwashed, without a clue, still they know not what they do i can't cast the stone, cause iv'e got problems of my own but i'm discussing, being real, this just the way i feel

LATE LAST NIGHT
late last night so many thoughts were going thru my mind since the fall selfish, sophist people; i guess that means us all  we all have fallen short that's no surprise but why must we refuse to open up our eyes  we're so scared we might find something better than we are deeper means life has got a purpose it's intrinsically in all

BIASED BIGOTRY

CIRCUMSTANCE
are you happy with your life? you make just enough to scrape by you pay the rent, and your check is spent where did last weekend go you wasted all your flow and you dont remember where it went  drinking smoking cigarettes working but you're still in debt thinking losing self-esteem. how can this be, happening?  you might have the temporary, superficial happiness that you buy with money you don't have. do you tell yourself, it's just the first time or maybe the last time which is your circumstance  life is not a job or a career. living is not smoking and drinking beer a gift to receive and not to take the free thinking choice is yours to make
