BROKEN HEARTED?

Did you fall in love?
Do you dream of me?
When you lay in bed at night,
Do you see the things I see?
Are you missing me?
Do you dream of me?
Do you know the thoughts I think,
When I think of you and me?
I see a rose,
Laying in the sand.
And two young boys,
Dancing.
There is no music.
They are dancing to the sound of emotion.
The emotion they both feel when they touch.
I see a blanket, Right against the shore.
And two young boys, touching.
There's no one else.
They just hold each other and feel secure.
They promise each other they'll never go.
But then they do.
One boy vanishes, and the other's left alone.
All by himself, he's left all alone.
They fell in love together,
And dream at night alone.
That's not the way it's supposed to be.
I should have you here with me.
To help me fight the night away,
And kiss the breath of a brand new day.
I fell in love,
I dream of you.
I lay in bed at night and see,
Just you, just me.
I miss you.
I dream of you.
I lay in bed at night,
And think of you and me.
I see a rose,
And I see you.
I see the blanket,
And I see me.
In my dreams, every night,
Dancing

Falling in love, a means of desperation.
Falling into trust, deceit and devastation.
Waking up in naked arms, nothing new to say.
Trapped in naked arms, used in every way.
Trapped.
Falling into hate, desire for liberation.
Falling to confusion, all that contemplation.
Breaking chains of red, nothing left to do.
Freeing chains of death, happy without you.
Freeing.
Discover me, my emancipation,
Recovered, free, with a new revelation.
Trapped then freeing, struggling for beathing.
Your hand still grasping,
Your heart collapsing,
Your soul still trying,
Your heart still crying.
Your heart still bleeds,
But mine,
Is Free.
Tears on my tongue, the only ones I know
The remains of what we had, tears on my tongue.
Dry eyes and empty heart, the way you tried to mold me.
Tears on my tongue, sorrow has let go of me.
Tomorrow's coming to me
With tears on my tongue,
there's none in my heart.

I'm falling again.
It's not what I intended,
Not what I had planned.
I'm falling again,
I think I'm ready to give you,
everything that I am.
If you'll have me,
The way that I want you.
And If you'll love me,
The way that I...
Can't stop thinking of you,
Can't stop wishing you were here.
Seeing your face in those of others.
Hearing your voice in distant corridors.
Are you falling yet?
Fall into me.
Silly daydreams consume my time.
As I wait for the phone to ring,
Dialing the numbers and hanging up.
Wishing you were here with me.
I wake myself at night,
To reassure you're holding me.
Manipulate your hands,
Kiss your eyes.
Coil into your arms,
However...
This is not necessary.
You haven't let me go.
I'm offering my everything,
If you'll have me,
The way that I want you.
And if you'll love me,
The way that I...
I'm giving you my heart,
If you can find the room.
I know I'm falling again,
Falling in love with you.

You don't need to think about the truth
And if you know you're right, well then, there's nothing left to prove
You shouldn't have to fight unless it's in defense
So close your mouth and keep it closed until you make some sense
You justify your reasons and you justify your cause
You justify the rules you broke then justify the laws
You justify some hot desires and your infatuations
You justify excuses why and all justifications
You refuse, instead accuse - suspect me of some lies
But I don't need any excuse or need to justify
You don't respect, instead expect things to go your way
You make me have to justify the things I think and say
But I'm not gonna justify from this I must deprive
And if you don't like what you say then you can say goodbye

Think of yourself
Think of who you are
Venture deep inside
You'll find a superstar
You need to see the world
You need a view from far
You need to go some places
To find a superstar
You have to move your lips
For your voice to be heard
You have to trust your heart
Even though it will get hurt
You need to be yourself
And learn to love you first
You need some self respect
To satisfy your thirst
Don't second-best yourself
Be loved for who you are
Be strong, be proud, be tough, be loud
Be your Superstar

for My Parents
For crying me one thousand tears
For guiding me so many years
For simple things; your winks, your smiles
Carrying me for miles and miles
Picking me up when I was down
For being my rainbow, being my clown
For being second, so I could be first
For being my drink when I had thirst
For being my bandage to hide the pain
My umbrella to shelter from rain
For being there through thin and thick
In good and bad, health and sick
For all the little things you do
You’re my best friends, thank you thank you
by Daniel D'Andrea
But you see I'm sick of crying
And I'm sick of all this lying
I guess I'm tired of always trying
Cause I don't got the heart, don't got the time
Don't want to fight for what's not mine
I don't wanna cause you any pain
But I love you just the same
All I ever wanted was to wait a little while
I just wanted time to begin to miss your smile
I tried an explanation but you wouldn't understand
And now you’re blaming me for what's not in my hand
You painted perfect pictures of how things ought to be
You're thinking of yourself when you say you think of me
You file your complaints and then give them an excuse
I want you to understand, I want to make a truce
But you see I'm sick of crying
And I'm sick of all this lying
I guess I'm tired of always trying
Cause I don't got the heart, don't got the time
Don't want to fight for what's not mine
I don't wanna cause you any pain
But I love you just the same

I talked to you again last night
I dreamt I hugged and held you tight
Was this a dream or was it real
I swear at times your touch I feel
It's been so long since last we talked
Hand in hand, for hours we’d walk
Well, touching you I do no more
It's kissing you I'm longing for
You'll always be my one true love
You'll be the one I'm dreaming of
No matter what you say or do
I'll always be in love with you
I tried to ignore my thoughts of you
And the memories of things you'd do
It's Just no use, I can't forget
I still wish, but don't regret
I admit at times I used to doubt
What this thing was all about
You taught me so many things
Except for what the future brings
You'll always be my one true love
And be the one I'm dreaming of
No matter what you say or do
I'll always be in love with you
There's so many things money can buy
I'd lose them all for one more try
One more try to be your friend
Oh please don't put my dream to end
I know the pain I can't take back
But on this day I'll make a pact
I'll be here always and forever
As long as we can be together
You'll always be my one true love
You'll be the one I'm dreaming of
No matter what you say or do
I'll always be in love with you
I can't take back the words I've said
Can't change the past can't wake the dead
I know it’s late to say this now
But I should really take a bow
I had my faults, YOU had yours too
But it was no mistake saying I love you
These words I never spoke so true
I love you more than skies are blue
I know we’ve changed each other's lives
Through anything we can survive
But know that this is always true
I'll always be in love with you
by Daniel D'Andrea
Who are we to judge, when we’ll be judged ourselves?
Who are we to open, when we’re 're closed up on a shelf ?
Who are we to shelter, from the bitter summer rain?
How are we to heal when we inflict the pain?
Rescue me, somebody please
Give me a hand and try to understand
Rescue me, somebody please
Give me a hand and try to understand where I am
I don't want to be here anymore
Who are we to say s god does not exist?
Why do we deny when we know we can’t resist?
Why do we cry whenever death is told of?
Why do we lie when we say that we're in love?
Rescue me, somebody please
I'm tired of lies and of the children's cries
Rescue me, somebody please
Give me a hand and try to understand where I am
I don't want to be here anymore
Why is there fire, does it burn more than tears?
Why are there weapons? Can they save us from our fears?
What’s with celebrity, this manufactured beauty?
Masking all their demons - spewing abuse and cruelty?
Rescue me, somebody please
Rescue me, cause I need rescuing
Rescue me, somebody please
Give me a hand and try to understand
Where I am I don't want to be here anymore

for America
We're all out searching for some peace and love
We are in a mess, a mess where of
We can’t get out and won’t survive
We kill each other to stay alive
We end the young, inject the old
We shoot the teens, the blacks we sold
We live for tears instead of joy
Kids buy guns instead of toys
We rape the rich and rob the poor
Then send our kids to fight our wars
Lie to move on and screw to succeed
Not high on life we’re high on weed
A few want to help, their pleas we ignore
We all want solutions but won’t work for
No more mommy, Daddy's dead too
Brother killed them both now he's after you
Dick had a drink, didn't let Jane drive
Hit another car, but Dick’s still alive
Thinking only of ourselves, ignoring those who pass
Every macho man thinking they can kick ass
Quietly we’re drowning in each other’s sins
Controlled by a government where nobody wins
Freedom’s just a word, it means nothing more
“We the people” – no more
by Daniel D'Andrea
for Jackie Kleinhenz
You said I said what I never said
You said I'd lead the better led
You said when I left, your heart, it died
Your words were just words and those words were all lies
Memories
You came and you left, you left and you came
You did as you pleased just the same
All the little things you’d do, you’d do for you and only you
Just memories
I was there when you weren't here
And you were far when I was near
You said you loved, but love you don't.
I said I would you showed you won't.
My memories
You wined and dined you stole my mind.
You proved yourself – you’re not my kind.
You showed them all what you shouldn't show
You let me know I shouldn't know.
Sweet memories.
The memories are the past and today is passing
Don't say what you don't mean, what you say is everlasting
I'm so glad your gone you were a three year itch
I don't know how I loved such a selfish stuck up bitch
You took my heart away and you threw it on the floor
You took this life of mine and wa1ked right out the door
You had your fun and games your yes, no and maybe
And now, at last it's over - bye bye baby
Your were a rebel on the highway my little heart you hit
Open your eyes, close your mouth, don't feed me no more shit.
