All My Tears 04:18
All My Tears pushed away..like the sun at dawn.. falling down but try holding on... wondering which way to go.. i cant believe u chose to throw.. why'd u have to disappear our fate now seems so very clear although i may never believe your stole away my very dream of love embracing desperately i gave to u my very needs and thoughts upon its hurtfully i know now that i must now receive love away so cowardly.. embracing fears that i could see far away but oh so near clarity of all my tears why'd u have to disappear our fate now seems so very clear although i may never believe your stole away my very dream of love embracing desperately i gave to u my very needs and thoughts upon its hurtfully i know now that i must receive

Butterfly 03:49
Butterfly Sometimes I feel like im outer space In another world without walls to cover up my soul If I could do anything, in this world of yours Id take away all the blame and let my wings soar Im wrapped up in a ball of illusion And I cant wait to see this world from other views Chorus I wanna fly, fly like the butterfly Just going high enough to reach the sky I wanna fly, fly like the butterfly Just flying high enough to see the light I wanna fly, fly like the butterfly Just going high enough to witness life I wanna fly, fly the butterfly Just going high enough... high enough Sometimes I picture silhouette, Through the basement door shadows on the floor those colors divine I cant feel no pressure here God is shining through Winter breezes too I don’t know where it started Don’t know how to end I don’t even wanna go back again Repeat Chorus High enough High enough High enough for me (High enough) High enough to see ( High enough) the light

Compatible 03:51
Compatible I like silver, and you go for the gold, You still can’t conceive, the thought of putting up your clothes You some and drink, And I get a lit’l high, Im too aggressive, And you don't even wanna try. Compatible..to do are we Compatible, Do you ever think about being free Compatible… our love’s a shame Compatible, But who do I blame? You watch tv, And I’d browse thru the news, (I wonder what’s on the tube) I cook you gourmet, and all you ever think about is fast food, Resorts in LA, and im still all alone (what time are comin home?) I been waitin’ all night, for you to come home.. but im still alone Compatible…what do we wanna do, Imaginable, that we too won’t agree Comapatible, Our love’s demise Compatible, what a surprise Compatible, our love’s a shame Compatible, But who do I blame? Compatible..to do are we Compatible, Do you ever think about being free Compatible… our love’s a shame Compatible… Compatible…

Paint Me A Picture A stroke of colors in painted space Materialize from what you see Concepts and objects abstract the face The pressures of what this just might be The theory came in time on canvas trace Duration within creations mind However likely to formulate The brushes perform concepts of life so… Paint Me A Picture thats full of hope and bliss Promise me the movement completes me The ill paint you a picture of essential elements That viewers only visualize when they open their eyes To see From starting point We made the forms and shapes Where images invoked implied That many performers had subjects place But never knew the expressions inside Your contemplations on aspects of love You never agreed that art was fair So don’t walk away from the blessings above Rather than leave just stay and share those Paint Me A Picture that’s full of hope and bliss Promise me the movement completes me Then ill paint you a picture of essential elements That viewers only visualize when they open their eyes To see A canvas of life and new seed Paint Me A Picture that’s full of hope and bliss Promise you’ll never not need me And ill paint you a picture that’s always balancing And the beautiful my gift to you is unconditional love From me A canvas of life a new seed Direct from the light I see A canvas of life a new seed Direct from the light I see A canvas of life a new seed Direct from the light I see (oh painting a love, guess we are) A canvas of life (yeah painting a love) Direct from the light I see (I guess were painting a love) A canvas of life (I guess were painting a love) Paint Me A Picture that’s full of hope and bliss Promise me the movement completes me Then ill paint you a picture of essential elements That viewers only visualize when they open their eyes To see

The Dating Game And from the moment I saw your face I knew id have to compromise, I wasn’t ready for your honesty That kind I saw when I look in your eyes, And ever since you came my way I gotta tell u that its brighter days... It’s you who warmed my heart a flame Didn’t think I could love again, I wanna say it but im so ashamed Your love has got me feelin’ so untamed so baby wont you come and ease the pain. Damn, I must be insane cuz you playin’ (Chorus) The Dating Game (but I want you for myself) The Dating Game (I don’t want nobody else) repeat twice And from the moment we sat alone I didn’t wanna move too fast, But I couldn’t help it when your lips touched mine And baby why don’t you make this sh** last, And don’t stop what you doing to me (don’t stop) (Why don’t u lay down, I wanna see) And just be gentle when u touch my head (oh c’mon baby don’t make me beg please) Cuz I never thought id meet a toy like you You make me play for long, im never through, (If I ask you one mo gin, baby I just wanna be in, but your too busy playin’) Repeat Chorus B-sect I never thought id share your love Cuz you too busy sharing others I never guess I’ll share your love Cuz you too busy sharing others Repeat Chorus just take me.. just have me…

Complacent it was a long time ago...when you fell in love but since things have changed.. than what you imagined of...and although you've moved along..you seem to be in chains...it feels so strange..like your all alone youve gone and done it all by making choices for someone to have it all and now u feel you long for more than what you own a part of you has gone u dont have to be complacent no cuz real should never be as so it should take good care of you and maybe... u aint never had a chance to grow cuz always been afraid to let it go and simply love u... and now ive come along..and ive fell in love but things remain...like they always was although i feel this way..i only want for you...to be as happy too and live your passions thru..but youve gone and done it all by making choices for someone to have it all and now u feel you long for more than what you own a part of you has gone u dont have to be complacent no cuz real should never be as so it should take good care of you and maybe... u aint never had a chance to grow cuz always been afraid to let it go
