THE ODYSSEY ALBUM (1999)
A True Soul + (4-98)

How I begin to start
Everything has been so screwed up
And now that I've lost someone
That was a fucking short six months
I can't imagine how it felt
When they had to tell you
I feel ashamed and absurd
Knowing events that occurred
The time clock keeps track of everyone
Haven's seen you in six years
But that doesn't dry up the tears
I still stare to the sun

Chorus:
But I heard that you were optimistic
Through everything
That shows a true soul, one I admire
One that I'm proud of

You lived a life full of joy
It's hard to look back and see why
I'm so shameful
I feel ashamed and absurd
Knowing events that occurred
It guess we're already gone

(chorus)
A Tear For You + (recorded version)

I close my eyes and I cry
I feel so comfortable when we cuddle and hug
I hope I'm everything you ever wanted
Because I can't  change who I am
I cry so hard to know
So many others have hurt you

But I'm scared, so scared
Keep falling, falling

Just close your eyes and breathe deeply
I look forward to so much

So scared
Keep falling, falling
Deeper in love with you

Tears roll down, I cry just for you
When you're in my arms
Tears roll down every night
Cry
I clench my fists really tight
Praying I'll get through this night
The more I think of you
I do love you, no lie
My love will always be true
I wanna give my life to you

But I'm scared, so scared
I keep falling, falling
Deeper in love with you

How can I express my pain
Holding on is such a strain
I just wanna be in your arms
Yet, I sit alone and weep
But I'm scared, so scared

I'm pleading now with you
Before I'm no longer the man you knew
I love to make you happy
When our worlds are crappy
But now I'm sad
1994 # (2-14-94)
All I do is sleep, don't want to sleep
But still I sleep
All I do is weep, don't wanna weep
But still I weep
I keep hearing a creep, so fucking deep
A lonely creep, there goes that creep
I'm getting in deep, so fucking deep
Way too deep, deadly deep
All I do is mope, a way to cope
Clean with soap, smoke some dope
All I do is gain, go insane
Don't ever wanna be a gain
The sight of her, the feel of her
The tough of her
All I do is weep. . .
Keep getting up, won't shut up
Fill the cup, then drink it up
All I do is sleep. . .
All I feel is pain, a way of insane
Don't ever gain a healthy membrane
All I think of is her, the sight of her
The feel of her, the touch of her

She keeps telling me to go away
I keep telling me to forget her
But then he fucks her
I really want to love her
But she tells me to go away
Any Single Reason + (10-99)

Got this pain inside of me
I can not let it out
I can't believe this all together
I can do with out
I repress what is happening
I hate that it occurred
Where as this is still inside of me
So I can not forget
What is going on today
I fucked it all up

Why is this a tragedy
Why is this a pain
If for any single reason
I must be hurt again

What is all this haze
Around me
Is it severe depression
That makes me go blind

Why is this a tragedy
Why is this a pain
If for any single reason
I must be hurt again
Bloody Princess* + (2-98)

Do you ever think about life
What it's purpose is here
You die without warning
Why can't I stay
Why can't I  have it
The one thing I want to work out
Why does it have to turn out so wrong
Why can't I live

I'm not saying that I want to live forever
I just want to decide when and how I die
But instead it doesn't matter what you do
Because you lose it all anyway
Those who realize live in fear
Until they die or get help

chorus:
Hate me and drain me
As my blood is going to die
My life is like a shadow
I can't get this out of my head

Can't you see the dying
Can't stop this massive suicide
The bodies just keep burning
I wish everyday that I could stop this
Can't stop this
Is this really the end
Remove this from my memory
(chorus)

I guess death is really a good thing
It just makes me wanna die
It gives me terrible nausea
I feel completely alone

Can't you feel the pain
What I'm going through
I can't take this
What am I gonna do
Cry in despair
Felt the pain of why
Pain stricken
My soul is on fire
