Heart on My Sleeve

Foolin A Fool

I’m sitting here a broken man
I’m sitting here a broken man
I’m sitting here a broken man
Livn my life the best I can

Cause their aint no foolin a fool
when he’s still looking for love
this big bad world has him in ruins
searing for a woman’s heart he’s worthy of

All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
All alone in my mind cause heart is rung
I hope the good lord cured the wrong I’ve done

Cause their aint no foolin a fool
when he’s still looking for love
this big bad world has him in ruins
searing for a woman’s heart he’s worthy of

I’m sick and tired of all the lies
I’m sick and tired of all the lies
I’m sick and tired of all the lies
Tired of wiping the tears I’ve cried

For Once

I’m blown away by the way you love me

After I asked a million times

There’s so much more than I could ever see

I’m fighting to find the words after all my crimes

You found more in me then I could get to

Just need to dig out a place to start

I know now that it’s always been you

Fighting and finding a place in my heart

For once there’s a place in my heart

For once I’m more than just in part

For once I see buried deep reality

Because for once there’s your love inside of me

Its gonna come around, im tired of being down

This love is lifting me, I feel it constantly

Now’s my time to embrace, a love I could never misplace

For once there’s a place in my heart

For once I’m more than just in part

For once I see buried deep reality

Because for once there’s your love inside of me

Why can't I love my way
loved instead of just prey
Stand firm in the face of what others expect
so I can look back without regret

Why would I ever settle for less?
How did I get caught up in this mess?
It's the most amazing thing longing for more
Yet when it stares us down we are done for.

I'm capable of love
yet Why do I shove
our life is full of walls and bridges
with a constant feeling like were in braces

The loves we left behind
or the ones that dropped us to seek and find
are still causing damage to the hearts
shackling us from truly new starts

No Time

Time you are never on time
I could've used that years ago
My patience for you has grown thin
but i see you didn't get my memo.

I can almost feel you mocking me
as you speed up and slow down
Forcing me to live in the memories of where I've been
Instead of basking in a moment that I drown

There's no time for sleep
No time for love and love in my time
There seems to be plenty of time to process
but no time to climb

I'm tired of being at your mercy
Tired of the hands moving forward
I'm consumed with time but none for myself
Only time for the absurd

Gone are the days of winding to keep up with you
I have found that I can never keep up
So I guess submission is my only option
in order to hold my sanity and worship

No Matter The Trash Talk

pushing down all the junk in my head

the piles of voices in lunatic style

no matter my years of packing it down

if poured on the streets it back up traffic for miles

no natter how hard i push pieces in, darkness still seeps out

denial fumes of sappross force me to push people away

for if they got close enough to see the vile inside

every single relationship would fray

the hiding began with each brick of my wall

growing so much that i walked into it a time or two

but in doing so the bags that make up my barriers

are smelling of egos too

the junk that clutters

can no longer be forced down

the time has come to kick it to the curb

so that my old self is no longer around

Cotton Candy Coversations

I sit here with just minutes to go till midnight,
Another year gone.
With all the words I've used and missused
I've recycled more then none.

They were words just spinning like sugar in a bowl,
No substance, no real nutrients.
With no fault of my own, I did try to serve more meat
I believe that is was the guest at the table who seem more like mutants.

These sugary words would make my dentist angery
As my teeth stood no chance.
Making them sensitive as it rips off enamal
But I'm brushing more improve my romance.

So enjoy your cereal, ice cream and candy bar,
I have no room for them on my plate.
My days of surface scratching left more down my back
Not to mention the blade you misused while you ate.

So here I am with only seconds to go,
6...5...4...
Time to step away from these cotton candy conversations
3...2...there's the door.

The 12th Man

The louder you get
The more I'm inspired.
I'm rallied for battle to win
with the weight I perspire.

No matter what I see
You always see what I don't believe.
Sometimes becoming a distraction to my opponents
so my hard work gets well recieved.

I push harder as the 4th quarter approaches
while you surround me on benches and bleachers
breath I grasp, tackles I aim, aim to win
this game, that is my life, has you as the best features.
