Verse
At the bottom of the heart,
Lies a special room.
To hide away all the pain,
That you caused me.
Sometimes I want to go there,
But I probably won’t get in.
Cause the lock’s so rusty,
And I don’t have the key.
Chorus
There’s nothing good that’s coming,
. . .

TAKE A LOOK

i’m out there and lonely as lonely can be
lookin’ for a women as lonely as me
are you that person, that i want to see
and could it be possible, you’re attracted to me
take a look. take a look. take a look at me
take a look. take a look. take a look at me
i’ve spent many days searchin’ a companion
could you be the one that i’d never abandon
. . .

Two Wrongs
They beat up my Daddy, right by our front door
Till he stopped screaming, He’s not here anymore
Mamma used to sing, now she stares at the floor
We’re hungry and sick and tired and sore
I don’t wear the star, because I’m too young
I beg on the sidewalk, to get a few crumbs
It’s called relocating, they gather everyone
Mamma shoved me in the sewer, said run child run
Run children run, hell has begun
They’re coming with hatred, they’re coming with guns
. . .

I woulda poured your cup babe
I woulda shouted to the world!
I woulda
Oh I woulda
But sometimes there are reasons
We don't always see
And I guess
You're just not for me
There are days that you've
Just popped into my head
And there are times
. . .

[Verse 1]
Where am I? Sometimes it's hard to climb
The way outside, of my own mind
Who am I? Sometimes it's hard to see
Where I'm taking me, when I am blind
[Bridge]
Mirror on the wall, you don't see me at all, what you see in me is not my reality
[Chorus]
Lord I find myself, when I hide myself in You. The world is blind, to what's inside, I am me, when I am You.
[Verse 2]
There You are, maybe You're not as far, as this broken world, says You are.
. . .

(verse 1)
Trackie bottoms, hooded tops
The heat of sun in summertime
Garlic and herbs with grilled lamb chops
The crunching snow in wintertime
School dinners and tuck shops
Falling leaves in autumntime
Landscape photos on desktops
Blooming flowers in springtime
(chorus)
These are things that I enjoy
. . .

What will it take to make you listen
What more can I do to show I'm serious
Nothing I say gets heard, it's pointless
I'm better off dead, maybe then you can hear me
How many times must I repeat myself until you understand
Everything I say I say for a reason
When you say you'll do better I don't think you can
I've been around long enough to know it's not gonna happen
Talking to you feels like going to war
And friendly fire becomes a leisure sport
We're shooting rounds like there's no tomorrow
. . .

Tell me how many sides do I have said the triangle
Gather round now boys and girls and count them all for me
You have one side you have two sides that’s right carry on
One side two side and another in all that makes three
I am a triangle and so three sides I have got
That is more than one and two but four sides I have not
For if I had four sides I would not be a triangle
Can you tell me boys and girls what shape would I be then
You would be a square if you had four sides that is correct
And if I was a decagon then I would have ten
Ten sides I would have and that is a lot more than three
. . .

Verse 1
Beneath the stars, a billion shine,
I found the one that's truly mine.
Your laugh's a breeze, so soft, so warm,
Guiding me through every storm.
Chorus
Forever together, you and me,
Our hearts like waves in the endless sea.
No distance can tear us apart,
You are the light that warms my heart.
Verse 2

VERSE 1
I've been dreaming of this moment ever since i fell for you, and there aint no limit boy to what we could do
Am down for whatever so just take it nice and slow, be gentle with me coz am so ready to go
But its only been a few minutes yet you're already huffing and puffing I don't mean to be a tease but i aint feeling nothing
I want you to take me till i lose control, so please tell me that you still got more
CHORUS
IS THAT ALL GOT, BOY I FEAR U WONT MAKE THE CUT...IS THAT ALL U GOT, AMA DUMP YOU RIGHT HERE ON THE SPOT
IS THAT ALL YOU, PLEASE TELL ME THAT U STILL GOT MORE...IS THAT ALL U GOT, IF NOT THEN FIND YOUR WAY TO THE DOOR...
VERSE 2
I expect you to be my champion, and take me there every time we get it on
I wanna brag to my friends about how good u are, but they'll be no tales from what I've seen so far
