The Good Times(:
Life.
Its full of people thatScrew you over and
Make you feel like crap.
But its full of people that
Make you smile daily and
Are always there for you.
Its full of people that
You can trust and love
Without the worry of
Being messed with.
And its full of
Good moments and times
When the good peopleMake you forget about the bad ones.
And thats what you live for.
The good times.

Weathered Tone
Rain and lightning crash.
Then the music suddenly stops,
Playing a new tune.

GraffitiTagging that canvas Wax on, wax off.Spraying paint like Mr. Miyagi.
All your feelings show up in that one splatter,
That one color of emotion.
Blend it, mix it, what can I say.
For me, art is only done this way.
Blood, sweat, tears, paint.Your emotions fill the can.
Its like all of the world has stopped.
It makes you numb.
Feelings and thoughts smother your canvas
With the color of your life.
It brings you in and shows you the anger
Rotting and eating you inside.
Its electric, from your hand to the easel.Lightning bolts shoot out whats on your mind.
Spray that easel like its your only hope.
Release the pain and embrace the words
Of the karate kid and his master.

Better Than Nothing
To sit in silence is to dwell in the pain.
To embrace the death inside you is to understand the fear of
the unknown.
It kills me, murders my emotions so silently. The attempt of
being subtle is profound.
Just hearing about it makes my hands slowly clench into fists.
I cant stand it, the way my feelings are important to you, yet
insignificant at the same time.
I listen to your pain while I reserve mine in the back of my
mind.Its difficult, to hear these things you tell me. It hurts.
Ive tried to fight the pain to no avail.
Ive tried to forget you and what I feel.
Ive tried it all. And nothing.
Ive come to think its impossible.
The immense care I have for you cant be left behind. It cant be
forgotten.When Im with you, next to you, anywhere in your presence, I
feeling the calming of your aura.
Your smile makes my day like I cant describe.
But I sacrifice the truth of my liking, just so I can remain in afriendship state with you at least.
Because thatll always be better than nothing.

TimeTake my hand and fly away
See the scenery in the distant placeMake a change for the flight of grace
Use all your love and fight for the chase
Smile right before you fall
Use those teeth to go and fool them all
Glistening your glow in the eastern sunStand up here, your lifes just begun
Be all that you wanna be
Never let down the inner me
See all that you will ever be
And dont ever forget who you are
Its times like this that make you say,
What did I do with my life yesterday?
Make the best of something new
It could all change in a moment
You never know quite what youll find,
When youre standing around, waiting in line
Exceed rather than meet expectations
Youll make it farther than you know

Christmas Time
Christmas Time
Merry TimeLoving and hugging and running around
Lovely
Slowly
Holding your hand through the cold winter sun
Take me to a better place
Filled with love and happy facesSpirit lights and spirit care
Blowing through the winter air
Carefree through all everyday
No ones cares and no one waits
Its nearly like a great holiday raceTake me to a Christmas Time place
Spirits flowing in the air
All a blur when no ones there
Hear ye, hear ye everyday
Christmas time should be this way
The night is finally diming downThe trees are lit and wreaths are bound
Mistletoe hung with many delights
This is a truly true Christmas time night

The Ride Is OverIts over.
Were done for.
No one cares about what we do.Its all falling out from under us now.
Our future, and theirs, is crumbling down.
They wont be able to succeed like we have so far.
All theyve ever known will be gone in a year.
Weve moved so far forward, but now farther back.
What do we do?
Sit and take it?
Seems like thats all we can do,
Cause the ride is over. . .
They may never know the joy of music,
The fulfilling feeling of exercise,
The bond between people just as educated as them.
Itll all be so far gone by the time they can see it.
Theres nothing left for us or them.
All of our dreams are being thrown away.
Theres nothing we can do.
The ride is over. . .
[November 3rd
, 2010. The day after the override was suspected to fail.]

MY |FAMILY}
Ive got my family.
Ya know, my mother, father, brothers and such.The ones that are there from the start of your life.
But then Ive got my family.The people that help me release my stresseveryday through the power of musicality.The people that bring the noise
whenever theyre told to.The people that have so much talent,even Beethoven gets jealous.The people that have so much rhythm in theirbrain and in their hands, its almost unfair.The friends that can bang the bass and drum
louder than any other people I know.The friends that have voices morepowerful than a sonic boom.Yes, my family. Choir and Drumline.

Its A lot Easier To Achieve That Way
Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me
and how come everything ain't really cheap.
There are people who have no money
and there are people who have a million.
There are people who live on the street
and there are people who live in mansions.
There's stuff that costs a dollar
and stuff that costs a hundred.
If I'm so worried 'bout what's gonna happen tomorrow
who's to worry 'bout important issues of today.
People think everything will work itself outbut it doesn't always happen that way, huh.
Maybe we need people to care moreinstead of care less.
It's important to work together
for a greater goal.
It's a lot easier to achieve that way

When
When will you see shes not meant for you?
When will you see shes wrong in
everything she does?
When will you understand that shes a liar?
When will you understand shes
a backstabbing woman?
But more importantly when will yourealize the moon shines for you?
When will you notice the ocean echoes,
in jealousy, the cool blue of your eyes?
When will you understand that chances
like this only come once in a while?
And when will you understand thatIm completely in love with you?

Electric Paradize
Thunder booms,
Lighting strikes,In this good ole
Electric Paradize.
Trees crack,
Limbs break.
These are the thingsStorms can make.
Clean and fresh,
Go out if you dare.
Its the smell of raindrops
Floating in the air.
Blistering winds,
Frightening colds.
These freezing raindrops
Never get old.
Back to the calm,
So glistening and nice,In this good ole
Electric Paradize.

Millions of doctors visits. They are never-ending.
All the stress. Theres no pretending.
Right and left, were hit with roadblocks.
From what I see, this might never get better.
And those damn prescriptions
No one in this family ever gets a break.
Save us from the misery.
So this is what you have to put up with forever.
You have never give up, though.
Never giving up on hope is what keeps my head help high.
Dreaming of the day when it all goes away.
Recovery is just so hard.
Only the doctors can help, but never seem to make anything better.
My life depends on the life of this man.
Endings are too hard to face.

Nightmare Fairytale
I find myself losing my mind
more and more each day.Blurring the line between reality
and whats a dream or fantasy.
This nightmare fairytale I live in
falls apart every time I go to sleep.
Every time I rest my head,
its your face I see.
In this nightmare fairytale,
I see you walking and I chase after you,but youre always too far away.
I can never reach where you are.
In this nightmare fairytale,
Im choking on air.
I suffocate on nonexistent love,
all because of you.
After my nightmare fairytale,
I wake up panting, out of breath.
Then I lay in bed in agony,
dreaming of what I wish would happen.
In my nightmare fairytale,youre never mine. . .
