I try to fight the night(the night of the destroyer)Locked in this cage a wordthat rhymes with rage.Breaking loose from thesechains, am I ever gonnafeel the same. The darkside of the moon - No leaveson the branches - like clawsthey attack me, I fall intoa puddle with mud everythingand the sorrow, I'm dirty nowlying dead like a shadow, frozennow, holding me up to flames.Just lay me down to sleepwith laughter bursting outfrom inside me.

My head, the acheMy heart, the acheFor who can 1 blame.Can't let you go, can'tyou see I'm running loosecrazy inyour worldThen you beg for me not toleave. 1 bleed all over youyou lick it all up and yousay, "1t tastes good," butwhy can't I say the samefor blood has always beenmy pain. Am I the owlthat yells whol!l for that's whatI always do!

The Land of.My DreamsFollow the yellowbrick road to a landof make believe with little fairiesand unicorns they take me to seea deep blue sea. Colored flowersthat smell so sweet, littlebabies angelic, a lovelyangel who guides me. Rainbowsall over a clear blue skywith a shining sunlooking down at me.Lots of interesting friendsa scarecrow, a tin man, a lionand a girl named Dorothy and Toto,her dog, and together wefollow the yellow brick roadI wake up with a smile on my faceknowing it was all a dreambut at leastI got a chance toenter the land of mydreams

K Such an enchanted evening1v1 . The wild of this nightK. All would be perfect if you were by my sideM. But at least we had each other

to welcome the starry midnight skyKWe walked down the city streets

With laughter in our eyes and yearningin our heartsM. And we yell, "Is anybody out there?

It only seems [ike us.KM. Good night.

The Street's Shadows"Life out here,I make it what I want"On the streetsWhere the dreamsmight still liveMy shadow, my only friend,The only thing I trust.Everyone makes moneyI make mine dirtyOn the streets allday getting laid, sick, or loving it,"Life out here I makeit what I make it."

La LunaThe night that day, so warmThe dark skies yet the moonwas our light.Laying in bed with you in my arms,How wonderful it feelsCaressing me with your soft hands,And I'm flying.Everything dark in the roomAll we hear is breathingAnd our making love, yetLa lunawas our light.La {una, La luna nothingbut La luna madethat night so much more,only our shadows we seebut still we're shownand we can still see, allbecause ... La luna.

Presence of Your WhisperingFeeling your presence stronglyHearing your whispers, the visionof you walking straight ahead.And I stand there and freeze bythe "presence of your whispering"As the day falls into night Itake a walk past your houseand feel the chills that becomea part of me, I hear youlaugh and call my name softly.Did you fall on low ground?Did you fly super high?I don't knowI'm just feeling the presenceof your whispering

A Man of My BeliefWhen I'm with you the worldStops for a brief momentThis is a personal nightmareThat's existing in me,Good and bad, moving closer into

"th fh "your eyes t e eyes 0 t e stormI see nothing through themIs there an evil quality to your nature?A scent of a man with power can not

easily be forgottenPacing back and forth, not evena clue to satisfYmy mindI'm living and seeing, yet not

knowing life at allI must be strong to carry this

burden in my head.

Under-Ground NightmaresMy mind wonders

'What a thinker'I try to make my thoughts disappearNight is cold and the wind is boldAnd no one seems to hear.Here I'm trying to dig a holeright on the street'sground to pour these thoughtswhere they belong.Underground, undergroundnightmares!! !

JourneyTo the shadows in the skyI see you walking byTo the moon above meYou seem too bright,You blinded me. As I sit and IStare into the air I seeA round ball with colored lines aroundMe and it's bouncing up and downAnd I'm looking all aroundAnd find myself inside of itI see the fish on the floor,Petaled flowers floatingBy me. Walking "WiththeSpeed inside me feelingThe air, tasting my tongue,Feeling my skin. I look dirty,So I go home afterso many hours roaming onthe streets. I'm naked

Trying to hold on tight,Thinking that you are theone to blame for whathas happened to me.Throwing out thebad leftovers out of mymouth. A glass ofclear, cold water you bringto me, with no concern onyour face.And I'm dying inside!I'm hurting inside!I'm crying out loud!I'm shouting inside!


16/18

So the fliescome trampling on meStinging me for my bloodAnd they win, so I'm deadLying there crying my heartOut to you hoping thatyou're telling me the truth,praying that you don't haveanything to do with the wickednessthat's making me confusedAbducted by the forcethat travels through thenight. Agape in a dazeat the signs of your balefulheadaches. We're coherenttogether - you have toarouse my mind!!! lift mysoul, so high that I enter another world

How can I believe you?I'm fighting for this love to sustainits gain, cause if I leave youwe'll both know I'll be tied upin a room on a bed.This ismaking me crazy!!! Youhave to help me!llDo something to me, to take it all awayLove me, touch me, squeeze me,Suck it all out of me, I love you.
