BOY INSIDE

So afraid think I've lost my way
Every day in secret I would pray
Is anyone listening? what would they say

Some times I dream some times I lie
What I can truly be, I hide
From this boy inside

My darkest day my brightest nights
Looking at these words, I write
Will, they ever have their own life

Caught in a dream captured in a lie
Finding my way through life is the real fight
For this boy inside

Traveled the world to know who I am
Got to learn to be my own friend
This I need to do, in this journey with no end

Reasons I dream, reasons I lie
What in life can I say is mine
Who is this boy inside

I am much older now
Living with a lifetime of doubts
Still learning what I am all about

Is it me that dreams? Is it me that lies?
Too afraid to reach for that prize
To give to that boy inside

KISS AWAY

Didn't forget how to pray
Didn't lose my way
I just don't claim a title or name

My thoughts of you come and go through the day
I just sit still inside and out thoughts of you light the way
It is just a reminder your just a kiss away

Sacrilegious is a myth when we don't forgive
We celebrate the torture of the son when killing is a sin
I just don't want to play those games

I try to control my thoughts and the way I talk
Just to be a good person is all I want
It is a reminder your just a kiss away

Preacher tells me the path to a place he has never been
Saturday laying with sister juice fruit
Sunday claiming to be better than you

Don't want to hide when I have nothing to prove
To be what you see in me is all I can strive to do
It is reminder your just a kiss away

EMOTIONEL PLAIN

I wake up the same way every day
Get out of bed one foot at a time
Even when some times I want to stay
Got those morning pain I know I am alive

Emotional Plain
Everything I do to get away it is always the same
Emotional Plain
Wondering does it have anything to do with my name

Thinking the chemicals need to be in charge
We all live with mistakes living in the shadow of regrets
Why living life naturally have to be so hard
Making your way through it all don't fail the next test

Emotional Plain
Have goals I want to keep and people I want to meet
Emotional Plain
There is the dawn through the darkest day for that you got to stay

The distance between me and you is the way I feel about you
Wishing I could be anyone else to you I must be a fool
A relationship is what you work for it not the job I don't want to do
I got to warm my self up just to be cool

Emotional Plain
Got to get away from you asking how I feel every day
Emotional Plain
Sometimes I want the distance but still miss you when your away

MODERN CLOWN

Shame is all over your face
Symbols tattooed in random places
It is your pain you maid no sympathy for those tears

Modern clown
Can't tell up from down
Old school doesn't understand your sound

The millennials pray to you when you are not that cool
They say your smart but you act the fool
Like the Little name, you are a tool

Modern clown
Can't tell up from down
Pain for your laziness is your sound

REVOLUTIONARY SOUL

There is more then what you see
More than what you are told to believe
You can't have what you already own

Take back your peace it is more than anything
Take back your love there is beauty in every one
Take back your purity the way you live will make you free

Revolutionary soul
Much more than owning all the gold
Revolutionary soul
Much more than fame or what you think you know

A magician wants you to believe what you can not see
That is what the politicians strive to be
Putting a price on being alive all the time living a lie

Take back your joy learn something you didn't know
Take back your happiness when stressed you got to rest
Take back your dream so much more you could ever be

Revolutionary soul
Much more than being the popular one
Revolutionary soul
Much more than a rule that doesn't apply to you

Diversity is a mixture of everything even when some can't see
Some people limit themselves that is the opposite of free
Seeking attention from the one with an ego of greed

Take back your education it is the one thing you can do on your own
Take back your community this is where a leader should be
Take back your freedom than any time you can stop and admire the sky

Revolutionary soul
Much more than anyone opinion
Revolutionary soul
Much more than this container for the soul
