KARIN CRIES

Wasn't looking for her but she came out of nowhere and got in the way

I don't think that the Queen of England acts the same

No cure for what she has she is a victim of her own pain

Karin cries when she knows she not right

Living in her own mental lies

Karin cries at whatever she finds

Loosing out when it has nothing to do with constitutional rights 

Threaten to make a call not knowing she is the one soon to fall

Bitten by the white snake the venom in her blood she got no love

No one knows her pain, no one knows why she acts that way

Karin cries not knowing she has given up her pride

Easily selling off her freedom to someone wish her dead

Karin cries dry tears no container it fills

No cure for the ills of her head

One blame, one shame, has yet to know the pain

DARE YOU

I dare you to say your free
With your red hat on and not know what that means to me
Saying the exact same thing as the commander of greed
You have no originality you don't know how to think

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, claiming no collusion
Alone in a room with Putin what you think they were doing
Comparing the hairs on each other's chest

I dare you to say your free
With your red hat on, excluding those who are different from you
Your culture is so boring, diversity is what create great things
Hate does nothing to uplift community

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, repeating all the lies you heard
"If you tell a big enough lie and tell it frequently enough, it will be believed."
Hitler said that your greatness represents that.

I dare you to say your free
With your read hat on, needing your gun for protection
When all it protects is fear and intimidation
You are the new slave to this administration

I dare you to say your free

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

BLIND LIE

How high can you get before you look down and fall
Why do you hide when you claim you have it all
The truth may hurt but when you say it, it will not burn

Blind lie
You got the shovel you know how deep you can go
Blind lie
You got the rope the more you get you will still not touch the floor

Why do you lie?
Because it makes your ego sweet as pie
Why do you lie?
Because you want to see someone die

Blind lie
What is in it for you something shiny and new
Blind lie
You want to impress everyone are you having fun

Everyone is counting your lying words
When called out on your lack of facts
In  your mind, you start to squirm
You play the victim as you follow this path

TEARS OF LOVE

Love can hurt so much, bust still there is just one touch

A peck on the cheek or a little huge

Just meant to be a friend, don't let it end

The painful lies, the silent cry

The tears of love in my eyes

A sad good bye, as I look in you eyes

And wonder why, why it must hurt

Never meaning to flirt

But I should have known from the start I shouldn't have laid out my heart

The painful lies, the silent cry

The tears of love in my eyes

If there was ever a moment that I didn't feel alone

It was when I was alone with you

Every thing was new, though it was just me and you

It was to good to be true, now I'm loosing you

And your loosing me

The painful lies, the silent cry

The tears of love in my eyes

Laying back to cry thinking of the best of times

When love maid us high, but it was just a lie

Now it is time to cry, with tears of love in my eyes

I know you will never pass again, but only as a friend

The painful lies, a sad good bye

The tears of love in my eye
