STRIKING REMEDY
Take a stand
Remember you can't
see a remedy
All my life
I been dancing
with an enemy
Strike a note
Listening to a
love song
Baby, come here
Murder me with a
black rose.
Talking on the
phone
My head spinning
around
Dancing to the
sound
You are a remedy
Give me a crown
I can feel you in
me
I had been
wondering about you.
This clarity
carries me
Take his hands
Remember he is a
crazy dream.
Take a stand
Become a witness
Before he murders
me silently
I don't care
Gossip in
someone'l else's ear.
Stand a trial,
turn around
Your heart is an
guilty as sin
Pleasures sings
again
The jury judges
old sins
Sassy girl
confesses her life story
This is a tragedy
This is the end
Count to ten
Falling to the
ground
Lifeless girl.
Take a stand
We all are dancing
like slaves
Pulls the trigger
bullet rips through deep spirits
Take a stand
You are a remedy.

BLACK ROUNDS
Wake up stranger
There you are
Knock, knock on
the door
Happy faces keep
moving on
Beautiful sounds
play in our heads
Black rain grows
cold
In age as time
roll on by
Round and round we
go
Tell me now, tell
me now
How do you feel
inside?
In September we
remember dancehalls entertained us all
The ruler of his
kingdom
Queen Mary meets
sparkling, silver things
Future fantasies
come alive again
Driving crazy down
the lane
Not caught up in
somebody's love affair.
Queen Mary live in
a sassy dreams
Swinging down a
flowing stream
Who is the ruler
Queen Mary
Live out an odd
fantasy
Wake up stranger!
Can i be yours
truly
When are you
coming home
Presence deserves
to say
Below a deep
surface
Written signature
dives on a notepad
Humble boy calm
down
Corner stone way
back there
Knock, knock on
the door
Memories do you
still live here
Queen Mary
Can i have this
last dance
With you?
Ballroom
cherishing memories of you
Pardon me my dream
Did i stay true to
all my dreams?
We danced time
away
Watch me bow for
you in grace
Queen Mary the
great.

DROWNING SPIRIT
Before you dtown
below
In the deep water
Take my hand
You know I could
save you
For the life of me
I am so confused
Invisible spirit
keeps on calling from the past.
Through the
invisible hourglass
Images flashes so
fast
My eyes open so
wide
I tried to channel
my emotions
Sailing away in
silence
Lost and found
state of mind
Your heart is
brave
In ten seconds
Take one last
breath under water
Swallow all common
doubts
Living life at the
edge
Tell me my past
mistakes
Jump and dive
friendly
Dolphins start to
glide
Test and drive in
disguise
Overlooked
loneliness.
