Song for Nicole

I'm still amazed by your beautiful face.
Your warming smile and the touch of your embrace.
But i'm still wondering,
Still Wondering
What i'd do if you weren't around.

I still feel alone whenever you're not here.
Your feelings known every day becoming more clear.
But then it leaves me wondering,
Always wondering
What i'd do if you weren't around.

I'm still crazy for
everything you've ever done for me.
The way you are
when no one else is around.
I'm always crazy for
the friend that you've become to me
You leave me waiting
Til my feet hit the ground.

You have a gift inside i've never had before.
You're giving me life now i could never ask for more
but hey you keep me wondering,
constantly wondering
What i'd do if you weren't around.

but i'm still crazy for
everything you've ever done for me.
The way you are when no one else is around.
I'm always crazy for
the friend that you've become to me
You leave me waiting
til my feet hit the ground.

Every Mothers Outrage (EMO)

Exclamation, defamation
on the face of 15 youths.
Your time has come and passed you,
now you're blinded by the truth.
A thousand fingers pointing
in the way of your direction.
Laughing now they'll heckle you
into a world of misconception.

Jumping through a rusty web,
of spiders snakes and nails
guiding you along the path
and nearly off the rails

Get off my back, you're useless,
all these voices in my head.
Your advice has shown me nothing
but to wish that i was dead.

Confrontation, damn youth nation,
Always drugging out your life.
The only choice that's let for you
is picking up your knife.
Your father said to get a job
and your mother told you to care.
Instead, you grew yourself a fringe
and put black colour in your hair.

Get off my back, you're useless,
All these voices in my head.
Your advice has shown me nothing,
but to wish that i was dead.

Average aussie dad - new words.

I’m getting tired for reasons I can’t seem to control,
I keep repeating all the same old miseries.
It seems my way of thinking is my biggest downfall.
We fall and get back up
But life just gets a kick from holding me.
I struggle daily with a past that I can’t run from.
This record player always jumps back to the same old place.
I’m feeling broken like my better years have passed me.
I’ve fallen, how the fuck
Do people manage to stay in the race?

Do I just keep on living
All the while dreaming?
I’m too scared I’ll get in the way.
But soon I’ll be over,
This moment, it’s over.
Watch as I’m fading away.

I’m taken back to when my life really had no one.
The only difference is the numbing of the pain.
Youth would see me drink the problems out of this one.
I’d fall and get back up
The sore head wasn’t all that would remain.

Do I just keep on living
All the while dreaming?
I’m too scared I’ll get in the way.
But soon I’ll be over,
This moment, it’s over.
Watch as I’m fading away.
