The Gamer (Let’s conquer Azeroth!)

Those fucking Orcs are trashing my city
And I had spent so long building it too!
The computer’s cheating! I swear it’s true
How dare he think he can win over me!
He’s two steps ahead everywhere I go
But I won’t let a computer beat me!
You threaten me? You argue destiny!
But now things change: Here comes the killing blow
“It’s a good day to die” you piece of crap
The tables have turned: You can’t win now
I must triumph even if by means foul
Now watch as my troops march across the map

Through their foes, my immortals keep boring
But without challenge, the game’s become boring

Teen-RAGE Manifesto

If it’s against the law, I will break it!
All homework and knowledge I will ignore!
Advice from my parents? I’ll forsake it!
Lie to me again and I’ll break your jaw!
If the going is tough, I’ll just fake it!
What the hell is that thing called common sense?!
If it’s right in front of me, I’ll take it!
You expect me to work for it? Nonsense!
If I demand cash, to me I’ll rake it!
I have to buy the latest CD’s now!
Don’t give me that “making a mistake” shit
I’m embracing what you think is wrong pal!

I see you but I can’t hear you calling
Into my self-destruction I’m falling

Give me what I want!

The rules I play by are the one’s I make
All will form into what I see as right
You’d better sit down and buckle up tight
As I lead you down this road that I take
Your corrupt past isn’t something you can hide
It’s all laid bare for everyone to see
Of course, now you have become a sissy
So shut your mouth – I’m not joining your side
I want to do what I like doing best
Don’t want pressure or people saying no
If you hate it, then it’s the way to go
So get out of here you annoying pest

And whilst you’re back on you’re side of the fence
I’ll drink from the cup of self-arrogance

Condemnation

She went and walked out on me yesterday
She got in her car and drove away fast
She told me there was nothing I could say
She just wanted to see how long I’d last
Thoughts of what could’ve been keep lingering
Nothing justifies this time spent alone
Make her stay? I would’ve done anything
But such wishes aren’t bringing her back home
She cast a curse of doom down upon me
Using such cruel words that sent me reeling
“Love will fail you for all eternity!”
But she was heeding only her feelings

This loneliness: She will never observe
And this fate is not one I deserve

In Love

We watch our TV with the sound turned down
Instead of watching, we make up the voices
We don’t buy ice-creams when we’re in town
We argue instead over the choices
We got to the beach in the summertime
But only to laugh at the fat people
We always go out when it’s dinnertime
Cos she knows my cooking skills are feeble
I always tell her she’s my number one
Or else, she’ll hug me ‘til my face turns blue
And this latest week has not yet begun
And there is so much more we can do

Who cares if our laughter’s noisy clatter?
We are together. That’s all that matters

Waltz

Countless petals of pure white roses fall
In a soft breeze that travels through the night
In this time the full moon is our one light
I will take your hand – thus heeding your call
The breeze touches a rusty swing – it creaks
All the artificial lights disappear
Putting the best foot forward with no fear
I’ll tell you exactly what your heart seeks
I can see you falling into my arms
I can see you dancing right through the night
I can see your soft smile in the moonlight
I can see you’re with me and safe from harm

This feeling is that which you alone see
To the door of my heart you hold the key

Departure Lounge

Hey kids, why don’t you write me a letter?
Say how the rivers of hope keep flowing
Tell me how fantastic life is going
With some luck it might make me feel better
I have some place I gotta go you see
It’s been so long since I last felt this way
But in this matter I don’t have a say
Urging me is that thing called destiny
I’m dancing on the road to the next day
My time is up – I’m getting outta here
My eyes shine on without a trace of fear
With a click of my heels I’m on my way

Will I ever understand the things I feel?
Who cares when the grin on my face is real?
