SOMEONE HELP ME






Can someone help me before I lose my mind?
Can someone help me before I lose my wife and child?
Everyday and night on the street, it get my spirit high
Recklessly on the wheel, steering a heart blur and ready to fly

Its destroying my future, my home, my marriage and my pride
Six years gone down the drain, holding too long to the past that's died
I fell in love to liquor and life turned completely upside down
I couldn't anymore find happiness, if I am today not high

Life is miserable, couldn't find a decent reason the heart to sustain
I put my family through jeopardy, regrets, shame and also pain
I got callous and couldn't faced my problems as a man
My wife is paying the faults of giving up her dream to be with her man

I am so sorry I made my family cry, on my knees, I asked God for a new start
I want to be a loving husband, who buys his wife flowers that matches her heart
Take his family out and treat them like angels they deserved
Always there to care and leave in their heart a smile forever bind

But my flesh is weak and weary to fight this foe
The heart is fragile and can't fight the urge to say no
Can someone help me before things get out of hand?
Can someone please help me, I need to get these misery out of my mind?

MASQUERADE








Beautifully dressed in glamorous attire

Unethically putting the nation's in dire

Dancing to the tune of mischief and lust

Looting the nation's wealth at all cost



In disguise, seek to address the nation's crisis

With not a thought for the common masses

The nation's pride, deceptively sold to greed

The poor scrambling on the street to feed



Masquerade in there hundreds, killing the innocent everyday

Creatively deceiving one's mind and hearts lead astray

Smiling with pocket filled of betrayal and loathe

Dancing different tunes, but playing the same flute

TELL ME A STORY





Tell me a story without violence
Tell me a story without death
Tell me a story not hard to forget
Tell me a story not filled with regret

Tell me a story not just of happy ending
A story about family, love and care
A story of dreams covering the air
A story which makes the heart cheer
