Young little tiny Mockingbird/will you tell me, can you copy back what it is that you heard?/by the way you hide your beak, beneath your wing, really you don't need to speak, don't need to say a word/lot of pain, lot of grief, lot of hurt/must be, or must mean, that as just it is judged and deemed, claiming justice is served/say in life you give what you get, and what you get, you deserve/for whatever it's worth/I'm just trying to see how this so perfectly works/but nothing here is perfect except for the actual word so to make a promise I might not have the means to be able to see occur/to me would be absurd/lessons keep getting taught, yet I never seem to learn/and as what for me has it earned?/as day by day I'm just getting more unnerved/all while doing my best to keep it together so that others I do not disturb/right now I feel I could stand up preach a freestyle sermon from my pew in the middle of church/reality is I'm not their problem, therefore I am non of their concern/many times more unexpectedly heard it from those closest so by those less close not quite the throw or kick to the curb/to keep going or call it quits I couldn't tell you at certain times which would be preferred/outcast true to the meaning inserting, just following my own journey, in which I try to stay deeply immersed/as my quest is never to be the best, is not to come in first/but to find a way to relate to share the love when others all love to curse/greed and envy, these are unquenchable thirsts/I've always stayed away, from throwing shade, ignore the hate, but when that bubble finally bursts/here comes the surge/the lid comes off my lips I let it rip give em all their just desserts...

Fighting it is hopeless/fleeting are these moments/each blink with you a bonus/you just might be my finest masterpiece my opus/you know how easy you could take away my focus/I wouldn't mind it in the least though I hope you know this/I try to be discreet but I know it doesn't go unnoticed/but I need someone to take it slow and grow old with/not just another to have me roped in/to have their way and let go again/I want someone at night my body to hold tight and close against/rather be a homeless simp/than a slave to the almighty chauvinist/remember if you decide to roll the dice, and give us a try well you already know the risk/you claim you know this thing called love, c'mon then please, I beg of you, just show me it...

Fever dreamin'/wake up to the sound of your name I'm screamin'/for what though I can't recall the meanin'/so for you out I've gone seekin'/hoping when I get to where you are I might find the reason/as I don't know why but at me it's really been eatin'/more food for thought to keep my busy head fed as the search for you to dead end after dead end keeps leadin'/some roads traveled in search appeared far more well-rested than myself, as for me there's no sleepin'/windows down, speakers blasting loud, as my hands to the wheel keeping them clingin'/odds are favored highly, far as how unlikely, you I'll ever be finding no need for disagreein'/as visions the same that I'm seein', keep repeating, repeating/so should I start to face the facts the seconds, they just keep on fleetin'/it was something, it was nothing, one thing they can't say is it wasn't intriguin'/maybe that's why I can't remember, can't force something that isn't meant to be bein'/and if we find each other at another time and the time is much more hmm... I don't wanna say convenient/sorry but I'm cooked on the amount of overthinkin'/not any further do I wish down this abyss to be sinkin'/so until the next time I'm triple zzz-ing/where I'll search to find your hopeful beacon/cos one day I know what we have I'll finally be seizin'/so happy for me please just be it I'm pleadin'...

I could never feel more comfortable/no, I could never want you more/blushing red my little bittersweet beet you ask me just what is it I need, or want you for?/no logical reasoning when it comes down to it my love, it's you, just you, that I adore/easy to see to understand your concern and worries, get it completely that you just want to be secure and sure/I've wondered in tints of worry back in the past like will you love me rich, any different than you'd love me poor?/seems to me that typically the latter, type of people seem to be much more genuinely happier, as attention is all they should need or have to have to afford/too often we exacerbate the source/kills me when our time we have to cut short/you with this ridiculously ominous idea that one day one of our hands will finally have to be forced/if so then tell me please what is it exactly that we already begun to have forged?/I don't care to know answers here and now, just wanna feel this passion incorruptible/other than in your arms, other than here, there's no place I'd rather know/so wherever you choose to map us out our home/there's no place that I'd rather have to go/already a wealth of knowledge, doesn't change that there's plenty more about you I just have to know/enraptured in your everything, needing you to know that no matter what love, uncomfortable doesn't mean insufferable/together blissfully beautiful so of course only natural how easily destructible/why topics, categorized questions remain untouchable/knowing once touched something's bound to change and being that to this there's nothing close to as wonderful/it makes the risk greater and greater til we don't take it cos it's still just as special, as is, so we allow the hours to come and go/forgetting about this chaotic background and within it the trouble sure to grow/tune it out as everything we want in the other's arms we've come to own/just don't you ever forget, I know you love me, just as you know that, I, will, always... Love you more.

I would wonder, if I didn't already know/if I would continue to hold on, if there was even the slightest hope/if I would cling to you tight with all my might, and never let go/if I would go on believing despite all I'm seeing, never letting my faith fold/if together we'd be forever, or at least together grow old/if I could keep that smile on your face, thawing my cold hands by your warm glow/if those that attempt to come between, had no say or control/if when you said those words I longed to hear, I'd believe it was truth you told/if when we lay in each other's arms, that down the world around us would begin to slow/if I could go back in time would I change our ever meeting, you being just another face in the crowd below/if I could ever feel complete without you my missing piece, or fill the void with another playing your role/if I would even try to work things out, or allow distance and time to between us grow/if you would do the same as I have, without all the pain taking toll...

A thousand ways/I would wait a thousand days/to win you back I've got a thousand plays/even though how I'm wrong you have a thousand things/still all it takes is one/for this to come undone/then there goes all the fun/sometimes a leap of faith can turn into the deepest plunge/do we take it because the hard way is the only way we know to learn/both too hardheaded so to our stance we stand firm/people tell me true love I deserve/well how long then must I wait my turn?/I prefer to watch it burn the glow is just so enchanting/just like your luring ways are so entrancing/how easy you make it to seem my life you're enhancing/when all I am is around the truth dancing/it's time to face the facts/over this is it worth breaking our backs?/forget the promises the pacts/if this doesn't how are they suppose to last?/as into you I crash like a wave into the shore/tried to show you how much you I adore/don't feel that much like trying anymore/as much time as I have to invest can't continue to afford/no way of knowing how much is left/still the best of times in my mind shall be kept/feels I knew it far ahead/this day would come that I would dread/and so it's come to light, the event horizon/shouldn't be that terribly surprising/day breaks and so do we by the night's end/can foolishly hope the rules we might bend/ab simple case of fool's gold/for this stress I'm too young and too old/your warmest touch too cold/still you've got it all not just me but all the world shall soon know...

I love to imagine the reaction of feeling your touch/being in your presence in more than in just thought, spirit and such/laying down in a bed all cuddled up/how easily it is to think about this so much/as sometimes words are just never enough/like the warmth of your embrace/your sweet and savory taste/looking you in your eyes laying face to face/living life at our own pace/as we turn our storybook’s page/the conversations in which we engage/the lifting of this foggy haze/the outline of your body as with my fingertip I trace/the thought in itself is enough of an escape/the desire to hop right on a plane and come to that place/that bears your being as if it inevitably awaits/all while our moments never for granted we take/special in their own light/the beauty I behold in your sight/the feeling no longer having to fight/getting distracted by it as I board this flight, magic carpet ride/no Aladdin no Jasmine/no genie with 3 wishes to be askin’/just a feeling a passion/with nothing but the physical aspects to imagine/with every breath til my lungs are collapsin’/the welcomed distraction/from a world void of true satisfaction/just chilling, relaxing, in the Cali sunlight baskin’ your hand right there for the graspin’/snackin in a diner old fashion/playing tic tac toe on a napkin/how inside and out I am digging the attraction/your code and the aspiration of crackin’/fleeting though the moment soon will be passin/for as long as I can though out I’ll keep it draggin...

One sided love/too high like a drug/couldn't give up had to try for us/had to fight for us/I truly don't like or try to judge/sadly I admired you because/you liked to see things through so you must've lacked the desire to us/cos it feels like we really didn't try enough/and because of it time it didn't buy us enough/now no saving this shack in shambles, it just feels like our time is up/just pour the gas, strike the match, light it up then watch the fire erupt/after burnt to ashes place in the trash bag then tie it shut/yeah I feel like I'm tired I'm stuck/back to where I'm trying to find the rush/can't believe a word you say now cos you lied too much/get me down in my mind where I feel my rhymes just suck/if I could catch a line of luck/instead backwards I slide back in the muck/can question how it is, why it was/objectify our trust/to ultimately deny our love/so deep inside we keep it bottled up to hide the disgust/my worries you would try to hush/still I was never quiet enough/I will not lie it sucks/to again run wild we lust/just as to old tricks I've wised on up/feels like I'm blindfolded and just can't find your touch/I can refuse what's logical but I can't deny my gut/and I've got a hunch/been standing on the edge long enough it's time to jump/all lines of communication I have cut/your way out you can try to bluff/but I stand in the way and I ain't trying to budge/goodbye goodbye one sided love...

T'was April twenty five/day upon this earth my daughter's birth arrived/one look was all it took to have me hypnotized/wrapped around your finger like a bow around your present tied/magnificently mesmerized/I was 22 years old in a way still a child myself, at least in my mother's eyes/long before my own father died/helps to recognize the reason as I've/always wondered why/did I deserve this precious gift of life/after failing so miserably at mine/but nevermind/enough of that, it's party time!/as the candles on each cup of cake we light/turn off the artificial white/to see by the wax wick lit flame the sugar shimmer in the burning shine/make a wish then blow em all out before taking a bite/helps to remember the days always melting away like a glacier's ice/something I can say if nothing else I've done right/or done right by/unplanned and unexpected and yet the most wonderful surprise/along with treasures and trinkets I present you with this gift of advice/the right direction I do my best to help guide/plenty time to spread those wings and fly/so hold up, don't rush just to grow up, it's all about the journey, the walk, the ride/happiness and love it surely shall provide/makes it worth the hurt and tears never alone but together we'll cry/as its not a question but profession that I/will always be by your side/if ever things go awry/through each low, each high/you're my supernova sun in the sky/each day you make that much more bright/even when behind those clouds you hide/I'll help to find around the floating mass of gray that silver line/remember to no limits are you confined/whatever you desire that's righteous in sight shall not be denied/long as you possess the passion to fight/young in more than heart still an old soul beyond your years so mature and wise/you are my joy, you are my pride/help to keep me humble keep me focused so harder I try/always will, with all my might/flesh of my flesh, blood of my blood til my veins run dry/no need to worry, for on me you can always rely/see your name says it all as Cadence, you are the rhythm to my reason and rhyme...

Disappointment and sorrow/unsure of your presence still being here, being near tomorrow/not enough time in the day to borrow/so let's travel through this wormhole, Donny Darko/wake up in a mad world with this void like "where'd your heart go?"/proned to being letdown we all far too often know/to walk alone it can be a hard road/calmer moans/softened groans/ambient sounds with harsh tones/don't leave me in the dark all alone/accept in some form your heart I own/my composure at times feels hard to show/don't cause this house of cards to fall and fold/maybe I'm just not worth the cost but maybe this heart of gold/is worth more than any or all those claiming to be smarter suppose/how you feel inside it's hard to know/before my heart had been hard to show/turn off the lights and allow our thoughts in the dark to grow/theft from my chest you left this large now larger hole/I need the spark of your heart lit glow/reading this I can feel your eyes start to roll/I'll allow it as what can I do to stop the war you toll/cut this knife from sharpened stone/for you to thrust into my haunted home/carve into my bone/still upon your hallow ground I'll stand guard like a garden gnome/through the blades of grass I crawl and roam/waiting for the door to open set out a food and water bowl/treat me like a dog you console/to feed this starved goat/pleading for clemency for you to give me a pardoned soul/you know where to find me, in the oasis we embarked to frolic and stroll/til all is right as this razor's edge beneath the sheet of skin the scarlet's stroked/the silence always makes it harder to cope/so come just take my hand and trust it's not much farther to go/as never could I bottle it closed/eventually full throttle the bottle explodes/as never will I condone this to conquer our hope/everything I have to offer means nothing to your stronger hold/don't turn me into another monster to control/jusr let us be whatever the cards show...
