LONG TIME DEAD


Searching for perfection in this life
But it never does materialize
So many hours have been wasted
Making life unnecessarily complicated

But this stubborn heart of mine
Won't listen, won't tow in line
I'm done fighting its crazy desires
I'll succumb to the inevitable fires

I thought it would totally enthrall
But, desire has been my downfall
Can't complain, for it's my fault
As I give in to the raucous tumult

Now I'm dumb, deaf and blind
On the precipice of losing my mind
But I can't turn back now
To the addiction, I can't say ciao

I'll ride the rollercoaster till the end
But don't follow in my footsteps, friend
For, despite its sparkle and allure
You'll forever be desiring more

You'll be reduced to being a slave
No peace at all; just crave after crave
And then you're lost in ignorance
With no time for repentance

And then, it's too late to go back
You're miles off the righteous track
Now lying alone in the hospital bed
I realise I was already a long time dead

NO REGRETS


There's a deep, dark pain
Teasing my old brain
I can't rest, or sit still
Can't go against my will

I can't escape this prison
Virtual, and oh so not fun
I'm roped in for eternity
Nobody can rescue me

I'm to blame - naivety
Now I see the stupidity
But don't rush to judge
I've no intention to budge

Destiny has been kind
I won't be losing my mind
I'll hang on to the memories
To carry me across stormy seas

A deep, dark chasm awaits me
To drag me without dignity
Towards my own personal hell
Where nobody'll hear me yell

But, I won't drown in regret
I'll tell myself it was kismet
And when the light fades out
I'll pass on without a shout

TICKET TO HEAVEN


You're my superstar
Hidden away so far
Does fate or destiny
Plan to unite us finally?

You're my shining light
Giving me divine might
I get paralysed, too
At the thought of losing you

Invisible tears clog my eyes
Silent sobs and teary cries
As I lie awake at night
Till the moon is outta sight

What does the future hold?
What does tomorrow behold?
How will our story unfold?
Can all we touch turn to gold?

Empty dreams I cling to fast
Can this paradise ever last?
Wishful thinking says the heart
But I cannot bear to be apart

A tiny miracle is all I need
To overcome the lustful greed
Something unseen from beyond
To free myself from this bond

No longer want to be a slave
Wanna rest easy in my grave
Don't wanna live in daydreams
Wanna run from accursed screams

Try'na ignore the devil's whispers
Don't wanna be amongst gangsters
Try'na earn my ticket to heaven
To join my righteous brethren
