Here's another one I just wrote about a friend of mine...

“I’ve Got Faith (That You’ll Return)”

It’s not going out with a bang
It’s just fading like an aging candle light
The days keep on passing but nothing new has come
No news to keep me satisfied

I still hesitate to say that it’s gone
Because strangely, I can’t move on
I know it’s been a really long time
But there’s still a hope deep inside

Everybody thinks that the fire’s done for
But I know there’s got to be more
Even if no one else is sure
I’ve got a feeling deep within

I still hesitate to say that it’s gone
Because strangely, I can’t move on
I know it’s been a really long time
But there’s still a hope deep inside

Please come back if you can
I know you’re not dead
I’ve got faith you’ll return some day
I can wait for something new

I still hesitate to say that it’s gone
Because strangely, I can’t move on
I know it’s been a really long time
But there’s still a hope deep inside

“What’s This World Coming To?”

13 year old fathers
And 8 year old killers
A world full of uneducated parents
Not yet ready to take on the world

What’s this world coming to
Where were these kids parents to right their wrongs
Why don’t you educate them
Rather than just let them go

Responsibilities put on the world at such a young age
Preventing the future generations to be successful
If we don’t act fast
We won’t have the time to think

What’s this world coming to
Where were these kids parents to right their wrongs
Why don’t you educate them
Rather than just let them go

Kids fighting battles in their minds
With no one to turn to
Left in the dust
Kicked out to rust

What’s this world coming to
Where were these kids parents to right their wrongs
Why don’t you educate them
Rather than just let them go

To me it feels like a really long time since I've written something, lol. So here's one I just wrote

“Innocent Until Proven Guilty”

I’m innocent even though I’m guilty
Try to prove me wrong
It’s not that easy

All the world is against me
But I’m innocent until proven guilty
No matter how hard the charges should be
It’s murder to the first degree

And the innocent will cry
My oh my
What have we got here

All the world is against me
But I’m innocent until proven guilty
No matter how hard the charges should be
It’s murder to the first degree

I’m living large
You’re living small
The expense at hand is that you will fall

All the world is against me
But I’m innocent until proven guilty
No matter how hard the charges should be
It’s murder to the first degree

Waiting until the trial
To be judged for what’s been done
Everybody knows it, but the criminal has won

All the world is against me
But I’m innocent until proven guilty
No matter how hard the charges should be
It’s murder to the first degree

Kill, kill, kill
It’s all that’s in his mind
Because he knows that he’ll get away with it again

All the world is against me
But I’m innocent until proven guilty
No matter how hard the charges should be
It’s murder to the first degree

“You’re My Everything”

Day and night,
You provide my life with hopeful light
Like a dream that keeps running through my brain
You keep me sheltered from the rain

You’re the one in my dreams from when I’m awake
You’re the beautiful feelings that I don’t fake
You’re all that I think about when I need something comforting
You’ll always be the very best

Love itself is not strong enough for you
That’s how I know the feelings are true
And not just a figment of my imagination
Not just infatuation

You’re the one in my dreams from when I’m awake
You’re the beautiful feelings that I don’t fake
You’re all that I think about when I need something comforting
You’ll always be the very best

Every second
You comfort my thoughts with it
Yet somehow
I don’t know what this means (I want to spend my life with you)

You’re the one in my dreams from when I’m awake
You’re the beautiful feelings that I don’t fake
You’re all that I think about when I need something comforting
You’ll always be the very best

“The Creator (Is This Just Me?)”

Where’s the guidance you promised to me
Where’s the definite truth that you offered to let me see
This ignorance is maddening
When the lie I’m in is falling apart so easily

I’m accelerating to near non existent speeds
It’s just the way that fits my needs
Even if I run myself out of this existing universe
To some alternate dimension that probably doesn’t exist
It’s hard to persist on maintaining constant data
When things change around me so quickly

I’m trying hard to understand
How the universe came to be
What was the creator
Is the knowledge I’ve come to know just natural to me

I’m accelerating to near non existent speeds
It’s just the way that fits my needs
Even if I run myself out of this existing universe
To some alternate dimension that probably doesn’t exist
It’s hard to persist on maintaining constant data
When things change around me so quickly

Science explains so much in our every day lives
But it doesn’t fully explain how we came to be
Is the a power here for eternity
Or is my life just an image from my mind

I’m accelerating to near non existent speeds
It’s just the way that fits my needs
Even if I run myself out of this existing universe
To some alternate dimension that probably doesn’t exist
It’s hard to persist on maintaining constant data
When things change around me so quickly

“Dying To Leave”

I’m far too bored to even think of fun
I’m all by myself
With absolutely no one
I feel like I’m trapped in a small empty room

It’s a dead end road that leads to town
But there’s no here to help me out
So I sit here, staring at the walls as I frown
If anyone can hear me, just give me a shout

Dreams just don’t cut it anymore
I’m too tired of waiting for nothing to happen
I can’t stay entertained when there’s nothing to do
I’m sitting here, thinking of you

It’s a dead end road that leads to town
But there’s no here to help me out
So I sit here, staring at the walls as I frown
If anyone can hear me, just give me a shout

So many faces run through my brain
All of these people, not a one is around
I’ve got a whole world to explore
But it doesn’t mean a thing without the people I know and love

It’s a dead end road that leads to town
But there’s no here to help me out
So I sit here, staring at the walls as I frown
If anyone can hear me, just give me a shout

“Hiding From Your Problems”

Just keep playing your games
Pretending everything’s ok
Like a child in school
You protect yourself from the real world problems
Even though you’re just as big of a part of it as I am

You can’t win if you don’t open your eyes
You won’t lose because you hide behind your ignorant lies
It’s only everyday that you reside indoors with the curtains closed
Hidden from what could hit you at any given time

There’s nothing wrong in you mind
Now that you’ve made yourself blind
You don’t realize we’re both of the same kind
With different causes in life

You can’t win if you don’t open your eyes
You won’t lose because you hide behind your ignorant lies
It’s only everyday that you reside indoors with the curtains closed
Hidden from what could hit you at any given time

You don’t need to tell me what to do
Don’t preach to me what I already know
When you’re the one running from your problems
Leaving them to everybody else to deal with

You can’t win if you don’t open your eyes
You won’t lose because you hide behind your ignorant lies
It’s only everyday that you reside indoors with the curtains closed
Hidden from what could hit you at any given time

“This Is Life”

The panic in my eyes
When I found out you liked me
Because I knew it could never be
There’s not relationship in our future, not as far as I can see

I don’t like this
It’s ignorance filled with bliss
Taking you from me
Separated by destiny

I’ve never hated anything more
That’s why I’ve closed the door
My future’s not set in stone
But I’ve made it appear that way

I don’t like this
It’s ignorance filled with bliss
Taking you from me
Separated by destiny

It’s all too hard to say goodbye
It’s not ever just the way I like
All those days that I never tried
Have come past me as I lied

I don’t like this
It’s ignorance filled with bliss
Taking you from me
Separated by destiny

“Civil War”

I use to want to be like everybody else
Now I’ve come to realize that’s not what I want
I don’t care if no one is listening
Your negative opinions don’t matter anyway

Take the good and the bad
Everything you could have had
Toss it in the air
Start of fresh

I recall a more innocent time
When the words could really hurt
Well, when you look at me now
What do you see

Take the good and the bad
Everything you could have had
Toss it in the air
Start of fresh

I’ll always remember myself as one unified person
With civil war taking place in my brain
Now the war is over
And it’s resulted in the person standing right in front of you

Take the good and the bad
Everything you could have had
Toss it in the air
Start of fresh

“Insignificant”

One Nation
Bent on domination
No hesitation
To this genocide
Opinions are just suicide
You can’t speak you mind
With a gun to your head
If you do, you’ll soon be dead

Modernized hell
On this world at war
Starvation in the fields below
Devastations final blow
A freezing cold war
Bitter battles fought once more
Distraught signals fade away
Soldiers final day
Wars come to an end
As the angels descend
The chill of war follows the hero
As he returns home
Just a tiny fraction in time
Insignificant in a greater picture seen tomorrow
Even though it filled so many souls with sorrow

“Brainless Soul”

Today is a day in history
But I won’t remember it anyway
Because my brain retired today
Now I’m rotting away

It’s all that I’ve desired and more
There’s nothing I can do but drown in the glory
Walking these streets that I’ve always wanted to know
It’s more than I thought it would have been

I’m lost, not finding the way
I’m here, I might just be okay
I’m gone, never to find the way
I’m found, I just don’t know where I’m at

It’s all that I’ve desired and more
There’s nothing I can do but drown in the glory
Walking these streets that I’ve always wanted to know
It’s more than I thought it would have been

I’m stuck here, not going anywhere
I’m trapped here, it’s more than I can bear
I’m willing to be
Yes, that’s me

It’s all that I’ve desired and more
There’s nothing I can do but drown in the glory
Walking these streets that I’ve always wanted to know
It’s more than I thought it would have been

“Unconditional Love”

I’m venting, writing this to you
As much as you hurt me, I know your love is true
It’s just another door that I’ve got to open and walk through
Because I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the entire world

I’ve got unconditional love
No matter how I show it
I couldn’t make myself hate you if I tried
If I were to ever tell you that, just realize that I have probably lied

I can’t rid this feeling deep inside me
I think that I’ll love you eternally
I can’t see myself doing anything else
You’re just too important to give up on

I’ve got unconditional love
No matter how I show it
I couldn’t make myself hate you if I tried
If I were to ever tell you that, just realize that I have probably lied

I don’t want to say things in a rude way
I’d rather we move on from the problems
Just come forward to a new day
That’s why I wrote this for you, to show how much I care

I’ve got unconditional love
No matter how I show it
I couldn’t make myself hate you if I tried
If I were to ever tell you that, just realize that I have probably lied

“Don’t Cry (Love of Mine)”

Tiny outbursts in time
There’s no reason
There’s no rhyme
Just random little happenings
All life’s small things

Just go to sleep
Let night pass you by
When you’ve got every reason to cry
I’ll be here for you when you need me
But for now I’ll just leave you be

Big meaning in your life
No meaning left
To those who don’t care
About anyone else
It’s more than you and I could bare

Just go to sleep
Let night pass you by
When you’ve got every reason to cry
I’ll be here for you when you need me
But for now I’ll just leave you be

I’m speechless when I look at you
I’m sure that this is all too true
You mean it all
You are my heart and soul
You put meaning in my life

Just go to sleep
Let night pass you by
When you’ve got every reason to cry
I’ll be here for you when you need me
But for now I’ll just leave you be

“Superiority”

Alter reality to fit your needs, no
Alter yourself to be a brand new person
Take away the individuality
Tell me about how worthless I’ll be if I don’t change

You’re not manipulating me scientifically
You can’t change or who I will always be
The same person I’ve grown to become
You can’t use social science to please me

Tell me everything about your psychological superiority
But you’re being a hypocrite
These things you say don’t mean a thing to me
So give up now, before it’s too late to be proven wrong

You’re not manipulating me scientifically
You can’t change or who I will always be
The same person I’ve grown to become
You can’t use social science to please me

You’re not manipulating me scientifically
You can’t change or who I will always be
The same person I’ve grown to become
You can’t use social science to please me

“I Won’t”

Leave it alone
Don’t tell me I’m alright
It’s just not worth it
I’m giving up the fight

It’s not right
To continue what you can’t do

It’s not good
To be a failure to this extent

Fall, crash, and burn
There’s nothing to be learned

Leave it alone
Don’t tell me I’m alright
It’s just not worth it
I’m giving up the fight

I’m not in love
I’ll never reach above

Too many hills
Turning into mountains

Shooting for the stars
I miss by too far

Leave it alone
Don’t tell me I’m alright
It’s just not worth it
I’m giving up the fight

“You Don‘t Love Me (Just A Bitter Life)”

I don’t love you
You don’t need me
Just give up the act
I’m not in tact
My brain cells are lacked
But I’m not dumb enough to believe you

There’s an ending in sight
Falling to the light
There’s no delight
Just a bitter end fading away to the night
Just so you know that you aren’t right

Just another page
In an unread book
Forgotten in time
With its insignificance
Modern thinkers reject
The old ways

There’s an ending in sight
Falling to the light
There’s no delight
Just a bitter end fading away to the night
Just so you know that you aren’t right

I’m not in love
You don’t really care
This life is leading nowhere
Pessimism ruling you with fear
Just another tear
Dropped forever here

There’s an ending in sight
Falling to the light
There’s no delight
Just a bitter end fading away to the night
Just so you know that you aren’t right

“niW t’naC uoY”

I don’t care at this point
All I know is that I won’t fade after temporary reprieve
But this darkness is eating my soul
Now I’m lost in nonexistence for eternity

It’s not you
It’s not me
You can’t win
You don’t see

Argue all you want
But the facts have always been here
Ignore all the signs
It’s time for this soul to resign

It’s not you
It’s not me
You can’t win
You don’t see

Design the inevitable, infallible creation
That you don’t seem to know or understand
No explanation for the answer
No Truth for the lies

It’s not you
It’s not me
You can’t win
You don’t see

“This Is My Life”

Falling into a deeper unknown
My spirit, my mind, my soul
Taking me beyond control
Beyond where our existence goes
Dragging me willingly
Through my failures and success
To the place that I am now
Still blind of what’s to come

I’m taking all things into consideration
Trying to reach a blissful state of mind
Relaxation in moderation
As I figure out the state of the world I’m in
Holding back from this man-made sin

Oh but this fall will hurt me
What once felt right is dirty
Love ripped out of my once thriving soul
Existence is a burden and my life is full
Full of doubts and exaggerations
Part of my blurry imagination
Oblivious to the far future
Wandering through the moonlit skies in vein

I’m taking all things into consideration
Trying to reach a blissful state of mind
Relaxation in moderation
As I figure out the state of the world I’m in
Holding back from this man-made sin

“No More”

Am I a lost cause
Are you a lost cause
Well truth be told
The only lost causes are the ones that don’t care

Am I a lost cause
Are you a lost cause
Well truth be told
We’re both beyond alright

If you believe it
You might just achieve it
Rather than sitting around
Waiting for the to change for you
Wanting the world to bend to you
And to your needs

No more lost causes
In this sea of mass confusion
If you’re not blind
As you watch the trick’s illusion

No more lost causes
In this world of love and hate
If you know the truth
You won’t be disappointed in yourself

If you believe it
You might just achieve it
Rather than sitting around
Waiting for the to change for you
Wanting the world to bend to you
And to your needs
