requiem.

i am confident and deserving,
maintaining all that you're deserting,
and while you're out searching for an answer
to define yourself,
my feet are here holding down the ground,
and they're breaking for real wealth.
see i've done everything that this world has to offer,
but living life like this has me feelin' like a pauper,
because when gold is an item most would behold,
with a life like this it's just adding to the load,
because happiness isn't defined by the money in your hand,
its a measure of strength and your humanity as a man,
so quit chasin' change looking for your payday,
because in the end all your money never mattered anyway.
so sip the finest wine, and waste all of your time,
because your expectancy is declining every minute.
but if you want to make it worth it,
make sure before you hit the dirt pit,
to reach out,
and touch someone you love.

i cant believe how long it's been.

i am sweating,
i am shaking,
you're the first one i can remember,
the only one i lose my words for.
because warm summer nights
are infused with emotion,
that add to the lifestyle,
which adds to the commotion.
days pass through to the nights
i long to spend with you,
but before i can say a word
i choke on my tongue.
you know,
i don't remember being scared,
when i was younger,
i guess i just never cared,
but there's something in the way,
you look at me.
now i'm searching for the perfect word,
something that you've never heard,
so that i can be the one you really yearn for.
but everything that comes out just sounds absurd,
i'm talking like a person, but i'm sounding like a bird,
i pray that i'm the person that you've prayed for.
because to me you're not just one in a million,
to me you're not just some whore,
to me you'd be worth waiting a billion,
just to see that its me you adore.
and i would give you the world,
and all it had to offer,
if you wanted those sorts of things,
but i'd trade it all for nothing,
give up all i have to offer,
just to lay near you and listen to you sing.
