Know What It Is: Welcome to my project:

knowwhat-itis:

We all see the world in our own way, and that is a good thing most of the time. The world is indeed a beautiful place, but we are in a bit of trouble these days and if we are going to find our way out it is going to take all of us. Every idea, every effort, every drop of love we can muster.

I'm Trying....

Mon, 04 Jul 2011 23:02:46 -0700

Sometimes all I want to say
is I’m sorry but it never ends thea re
We always end up drawing blood for nothing

I got something sick inside of me
That can’t take the blame and just let it be
I want you to know I’m sorry,… that I was right
____________

Months go bye, hurt eyes dry, and ego fades into the night
And I start to believe that maybe I have changed.
We make up we make friends Then we break hearts again
And months go by, because it’s still the same

But I’m trying, …..I’m trying, ……….. to change

Seems Like all you want to do is forgive me
And I want you to but I don’t have it in me
Because I know…. What I know

But I’m trying, …..I’m trying, ……….. to change

_____
Nights of Joy turn to days of hate
And Months of silence shadow yesterday
Smiles fade…

We start laughing and then we yell
Maybe all these bits of hell
Are what it takes

Months go bye, hurt eyes dry and ego fades into the night
And I start to believe that maybe I have changed.
We make up we make friends Then we break hearts again
And months go by, because it’s still the same

But I’m trying, …..I’m trying, ……….. to change

What It Was

Thu, 14 Apr 2011 15:08:00 -0700

(V-1)
I’m afraid I’m becoming the man my father was
The smoking and drinking, sometimes the drugs
Days that roll on and on, Without end
One more look in the mirror, where have I been
That’s what my father was, not what my father was

(V-3)
I’m afraid my life’s becoming what I thought it was
I’ve always got tomorrow to get myself done
I’m trying to warm a heart that’s grown so cold
I look in the mirror and don’t know where to go
that’s what my life was, not what my life was

(Chorus)
Cause day to day things weren’t that bad
I really could complain, But I really can’t
There’s always gonna be something there to blame
But if I do, I’ll never learn anything
So I take what I can and just move on,
Leave it in a song….

(V-3)
I’m afraid the world’s becoming the world I thought it was
Long on fear and hate, short on love
But that rear view mirror is just a dream
If I’m gonna get what I need it can’t mean anything
That’s what this world’s become, not what this worlds become

It All Changed

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:52:48 -0700

She was seeing the world through her old eyes
Drinking drinks and killing time
Bought by guys, she didn’t like, she started to wonder why even try
In this place, then she saw his face
And It all changed…

He said could buy you a drink,
and she started to think
HIs eyes look nice like they’d make her cry she wondered why even try
In this place, But then she saw his face
and it all changed

Maybe there was something
It all changed
It might be better than nothing
I cant stay the same
This life is short maybe it could be so sweet
I’ve been through a lot , but not everything
Maybe there’s something inside this man
That’s Still inside of me..

Everything inside her still said no
Except the one thing that said let go
Everyone she knew had tried to lie, except the one looking in her eyes
In this place, she knew she was somewhere new…

I got something I cant get rid of
Turns out its you

Oh baby there’s something
I can feel a change
It’s better than nothing
I won’t even be the same
This life is short, it ain’t never been so sweet
We been through a lot, but not quite everything
You put something, inside this man
That;s still inside of me.

A Young Heart

Fri, 08 Apr 2011 11:38:37 -0700

A young heart takes, love better than an old one
When young love is gone, There’s always a new one
Till you feel like nothing new is coming for you
It ain’t true

If I had to remember
Every time I got let down
Would I be here now

A young heart can heal, better than an old one
My heart has shattered into so many pieces
I may never pick them up again
Remember when?

You felt like it could get better, even though you knew better
When you bet on the beach, against the snowy weather
And drove on….
To the places you felt like you belonged,
More then where you ,came from

A young heart tells lies, better than an old one
There’s nothing I could say or do,
To make you understand what I have said and done
That’s why I run

It’s really rough, what do you think

It’s really rough, what do you think

Let's Do It Again

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 18:38:00 -0800

She said there’s a gypsy in my soul
That keeps on trying to find a home
But I never get there no matter where I roam

I’ve gone from state to state and town to town
But they never feel like settling down
Every time I find myself so alone

I won’t do it again, I can’t do it again
I’ve been looking for the future, while staying where I’ve been
I won’t do it again, I can’t do it again
There just ain’t enough left in side of me
I’ve worked to hard to give up being free

He said I been through all that with you
And I gotta admit I that I can feel it too
That subtle loss of space between me and you

But there ain’t nothing we need to change
Everywhere we’ve been the same
That home we’re both needing is me and you

I wanna do it again, I can we do it again
I’ve been looking for our future, wondering where you been
I wanna do it again, let’s do it again
Baby there’s just enough left, in side of us
We’re are not what’s left , we’re all we ever was

There ain’t nowhere we ain’t tried
To find that love we feel like’s died
We just ain’t looking far enough inside

Cause somewhere in there are the days
Filled with all the love we made
Maybe all we need to do is say…

Let’s do it again,I wanna do it again
we still have a future, because of where we’ve been
Let’s go there again, We can go there again
Baby all we ever need is us…

So let’s do it again, Baby do it again

We can be everything we’ve never Been

I See Me In You...

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 15:30:00 -0700

I was walking through the park the other day, and ran into a man who was clearly homeless. In Seattle, in the Summer time, that’s a pretty common thing, as everywhere these days I guess. But I felt some strangely powerful connection to him in that moment. Then I realized I the only real difference between the two of us was the last $30 I had in my pocket, and my amazing friends…

I’m about thirty dollars away from
You and I don’t care
We got the same scragly beard
We both got too much hair.
And I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart
For those who can make a home right where they are

I see me in you
I see me in you
I see me and you

I’m slowly getting rid of everything I own
For the last two weeks I haven’t had a home
This world is so cruel I can’t seem to take a part
Every time I try I lose more of my heart

I see me in you
I see me in you
I see me and you

I’m about thirty feet away from you I can’t help but stare
The whole world just walks on by and no one cares.
And that sift spot in my heart is getting hard
I know it’s sad. but it’s just the way things are

I see me in you
I see me in you
I see me and you
