White Toothed Bastard

They told me my teeth weren't clean
No not nearly clean enough
But I'll still smile
I'll still smile
Sang my songs to an empty crowd
To an empty crowd
I don't mind
It's how I feel
Now I'm dancing like a ballerina
Who never learned to walk
And one day they told me
I must learn
Now my fingers are stained in
They are stained in red
From all the thoughts carouseling
Through the war in my mind
And I've changed that war a thousand times
No, a million times
But who is keeping count
If the clock don't have time to watch
Now I'm talking like a writer
Who never learned to speak
And one day they told me
I must learn
Oh it's how it goes, how it goes
I've got ten fingers and ten toes
With an approximation of a hands length between-
My head and my heart
You'd be surprised how much can get tangled up
Just traveling that distance
Oh the sign only reads, stop from one side
So if I look at it from a different angle, am I-
If I can't read the sign, If I can't see the sign
Am I free to pass?
Am I free to pass?
Oh it's how goes, how it goes
I think and I think
And sometimes I form words
Worthy enough for censored
Appropriation
But it don't always mean it's appropriate
To give 'em, their worth
Well they told me I wasn't good enough
Never good enough
For the likes of them,
For the likes of me
So I wrestled with it
I fought I rebelled- did my best to prove myself
But the number twelve
got the better hold on me
Now I'm smiling like a white toothed bastard
Who thinks they own the world
And I'm growing selfish over things I don't know
Hell we're all selfish over things that we don't own.

King Of My Heart
02:46
|
|||
|
Take my shadow
And pour it out
For I'm not sure
What it can be used for now.
I've been drowning in what I feel so
Wash it away and let me
Breathe again-
CHORUS
For one day- I'll become king
And I'll rule over my heart
I except I know not a thing
But, Im praying to stars
Only to be king
Of my heart
Fall for love and
Cry for shame
Wonder why you cause
yourself pain
Fretless worries
and tasteless chains
Locking freedom
From running through your veins
CHORUS
Through bloodshed and battle
These lines on my face
I am brave, reckless and untamed
There's a drum in my chest
Setting the pace
Im a king, Im a soldier
Im the captain of strength
I AM the-
King of my heart

Barefoot

At school they try to tell you
You got to learn to tie your shoes
But I don’t really want to
I don’t need anything fancy
No that’s not how I stay classy
and it won’t make me happy, no
ohwaho barefoot in the sun
Is where I will have my fun
Let’s get up everyone
With barefoot and freedom
You see them high heeled ladies
Looking at me as if I’m crazy
and if you must know, I walk like this on the daily
Ya, I don’t care what people think of me
no! I am crazy and free
but your more than welcome to join me
Chorus
I ain’t to hard to please
But their ain’t no guarantees
Of just where we might end up to be
I know in our society
You got to wear shoes upon your feet
But I can’t wait to take my off and be
ohwaho barefoot in the sun
Is where I'll have my fun
Let’s get up everyone
With barefoot and freedom
Oh Barefoot, I'm running barefoot
Chorus

To Change the World
04:32
|

People are a talking
I can't hear what they say
For tomorrow
Only started yesterday
But I know you, with that smile on your face
Will change my day
Sometimes it's words that change things
Sometimes it's actions that need taking place
So you and I'll go out tomorrow
And maybe we can change this world
One bit at a time
People are walking across this town
Who knows where they’re going upon this ground
But I’m sure they will find a place to rest their heads
in this world we seem to get lost it
So we will go, until we run out of space to walk in
We will ride, until will run out of space to drive in
Unless, we make a change
So you and I go out tomorrow
and maybe we can change this world
Ya you and I go out tomorrow
In hope that we can change this world
You and I will go out, and maybe we can change
This world
People are a talking
I can't hear what they say
For words have lost their meaning haven't they
I mean we say a lot and still do nothing
So what’s the use in even trying
We've got to make a change...

Melancholy Blues
04:35
|
|||
|
I thought I’d write a song about sadness
A sad as a cowboys blues
And I'd sing my words slow and drunk
so you couls feel the way that I do
Or I could write of love and happiness
But I would just be lying
For every time I someone smiles or laughs
There's someone out there who's cryin'
So this is a song for the broken hearted
The sad, sick and the lonely
This is a song for those who are lost
Mad desperate and angry
This is a song for every tear shed
Upon pain hurt and sorrow
This is a song we have all sang
I thought I'd write a song of sweetness
As sweet as golden honey
And I could make you could smile and laugh
And remember everytime it was sunny
But all I you see is rain and clouds and thunder
Nothing ‘s happy or alive in your world
Everything is grey and dead
You're one sad song
Chorus
And if you’re out there and feeling lonely
and you've given up on hope
Don't turn to the cigarettes and liquor
Leave your addictions at the door
I know life is not easy
We all have bad days
Sometimes we wish we weren’t born
Sometimes we want dig our graves
But life must go on
Oh life must go on
No matter how hard
Chorus

Queen
03:43
|
|||
|
I’m a reckless perfection and there aint nothing you can do
I’ll make my own decisions and do as I choose
I can say what I want to, and that'll have to be okay
'Cause not letting you in my way.
I’m the queen of aces
And the queen of jacks
I’m queen, and I ain't looking back
No king can stop me 'cause I will be
Queen
In the castle of hearts, locked behind a door
Beauty and the beast and a lion who'll roar
A mane of silver, and a heart of gold
Beneath her dark eyes she holds-
Many secrets truths and lies
If you look into them you might not come out alive
Chorus
They tell me diamonds are a girl’s best friend
But I could care less about them
I’m searchin' for more than just glitters and gold
I don’t want things that can be bought or sold.
Mirror mirror on the wall
Forget who’s the fairest of them all
Break the glass slipper, bare feet will do
Grab your horse and chase the moon
Chorus
I live in fairytales, with all the happy endings
I don’t need a fairy godmother to tell you my blessings
You'll find me in the deep dark woods or with the bad wolf
In the tallest towers in a castle
I wear a crown upon my head
My gowns are of gold and red
Chorus
I wear a red cape, and carry a wooden spoon
Concurring the world as I chose
I'll ride on horseback straight into the night
I’m a reckless perfection if that’s alright
Im Queen, Im queen
Im Queen, Im queen
Chorus

Every Heart
03:40

Every heart has a song to sing
but few can hear it
Every soul wants to dance away
but not many can see it
Every word has a meaning
whether its good or bad
Every creature has feeling
and so, we should respect them
I will sing my song
and let my heart dance along
I'll join hands with my neighbours
To try and share this love
and make the world better
I don't care where you’re from, or what’s your color
Shouldn't matter what you believe in or who's your lover
We are all equal, all gods creations
and we are just one human nation
ohhh take my hand
ohhh and lets unite every human on this land
They tell me sticks and stones
Will break my bones
But words will burn
and words will hurt my soul
Every heart deserves to sing its song
And if we are brought into this world
Than we should have the freedom
To spread our wings and fly along
So, sing your song
Let your heart dance along
Turn and join hands with your neighbours
Let’s try and share this love and make the world better
I don't care where you're from
Or what your colour
it shouldn't matter what you believe in
or who your lover
We're all equal all god's creations
and we are just one human nation
Take my hand

To the Moon and Back
03:10
|

|
Tell me of stories that you’ve heard
I’m tired of listening to everyone else’s word
You’ve always had something wise to say
And I’ve looked up to you in every kind of way
To the moon and back again
Through stars that never end
Like a bird in summer light
On the back f a horse at night
I love you
You have been there for me
Helped me see everything I could not see
You picked me up when I was falling apart
You showed me who I could be and I found my heart
Chorus
You’ve listened to all of my ups and downs
Helped me fix some problems that came a round
You looked me in the eye and said
All the matters is that-
To the moon and back again
Through the stars, they never seem to end
Like a bird in Summer light
Flying free into the night
On the back of a horse at night
I love you
I do, I love you.
