Thoughts 

I want the choice to decide
Not only by your words must i abide
I regret but am happy to tell you
I live for me and what i do.

Whispering in an ear you shouldn't
 Living deadly dreams knowing you couldn't
With foolish eyes that led you on
To defeat the purpose of that song.

I tell you i quit to have hope,
Release this, to have ability to cope.

I wish I hadn't heard the voice that spoke
Wrap your words around my neck
Learn to efficiently choke.
Grievances of a past scar you know is there
Guilt of a past love you know wasn't fair
I no longer know what I'm trying to say
So I'll leave it for today...

I'll leave it for you to ponder this way.


Heaven At My Feet

Heaven is so far away
And I'm loosing my will to stay young
The story She told me would, has begun
And as the wind blows, it sings the song i gave to the sun.

Heaven is so far away
And I've no morality left to defend
Because of that, do you except the only gift i send?
Promising to perfect it infinitely before it's end.

Heaven is so far away
Yet here I am standing with my Heaven at my feet
Hearing a voice softly telling me
'' I've kept you a seat''
Come sit along side me, feel relief
Smile at defeating defeat.
 

Explanation by Nicola Fortune

Explanation of what I've witnessed
There's no purpose of it's persistance
Voiced worries over a common heart
None of your replies fit the questioned part
Why say all the things you've said?
While dumping motives innocently in my head
The coincidental stench was leaving
Until your heart and soul gave up believing
There's nothing now i can say to change the bad
Although puzzled by a face that looks so glad
Sometimes it's best not to ponder on the things we could have had.

How long lasts this imprisonment
Depends on yourself and your own temperment
Believing in what's meant to take place
Gives fate it's never ending changing face
Don't let the sand fall through the cracks in your hand
Acting as your heart, you will die if it touches land
Listen to the child who has so profoundly something to say
It will change the process of your every waking day
There is no greater tradegy than your own idealisation
With it, it does not bring any worthy gratification
And with no way further to a full realisation
There goes yet another wasted explanantion.

Letter to Home


You will never understand the shallow thoughts I dismiss.
Your way into heaven will never bring upon you bliss.
You can march up the stairwell 'til your whole body is sore.
See the world there not accepting your angels anymore.


I took a walk towards the city last night,
In my damp and sweaty clothes, as high as a kite.
The buzz off the students once excitement in the air,
Reminded me how much, these days, I don't care.

So now I'm back in the world where the first is the last,
And finally release all that shit from your past.
I've seen a man disappear and a nurse loose her mind,
I'm just about at the end of being patient and kind.

Paying for a lie by living by your side,
Drown me when the tide comes in.
Paying for a lie the old persona died,
It's too late now but I still cry sometimes.

Feeling so sick now, 
Have to give up sometime,
Thought I saw an angel,
But she was just in my mind.




Substitute For Love

Incapable of love,
Unable to love,
Long to love and be loved,
Substitutes don't exist.

Not suited to drink,
Not suited to eat,
Not suited to drugs,
But I am addicted to all of them.

Always wondering and searching,
For something that can't be found,
It flaunts its stuff to tease me,
I see it here and living on the town.

Even the one's who are worse you wear,
Don't seem to cry, I guess they're unaware, 
Of the things that are bad, but they keep them together,
If I could trade all my friends I wouldn't think twice to sever.

Will someone come and just take me out,
Or put something worthwhile to say in my mouth,
I've even again tried to look up above,
But no one ever owns or substitutes your love.
