Lesbians have more fun than I do

I will be the prince that you’re looking for
Your knight in shining armour. Your champion
In a world of creeps I’ll be your beacon
I’ll protect you from monsters by the score
But a rival comes – who has other ideas
A rival who excels in every field
Armed with an admiration that won’t yield
And a face that refuses to shed tears
She went to steal the heart of the princess
And she did with ease - what could be worse?
Leaving me cut off from their universe
As my job’s been done, I’ve become useless

The princess found the pure heart she did seek
And in their world there is no room for a freak

You want a reason to hate me? Here's twelve

I know it’s important to be one’s self
I like anime and Lord of the Rings
I enjoy role-play games where I’m an elf
I write poetry among others things
My favourite footy team’s the Adelaide Crows
I don’t care whether I can’t drive a car
I listen to the bands no one else knows
I renounce anything that’s popular
I’m a thinker – even I make errors
I’m more interested in romance than sex
My loyalty to my friends never falters
I don’t treat women as pure sex objects

Now that excuses have been extracted
You may open fire on me ’til I’m dead

Lucy

It was the worse day I had ever had
On the brink of dispair I did tetter
She didn't want to see me looking sad
She saw me careering to disaster
She wanted to make everything better

And upon my cheek, she gave me a lick
And would you believe it, it did the trick

Battle

At dawn we raised our banner up real high
Casting our gaze across the bloodied field
As the sun climbed into the reddened sky

Today is the day. Here we could get killed
We could get slaughtered in futility
Of course, we could take this last chance to yield

We could pull out of this insanity
We could go home, see the sun rise again
But dying sounds better than slavery

We march. We gather. For we are all men
Liberty or death, we’ll show no quarter
We are warriors so let’s bloody show them.

Our opposition numbers far greater
I see their faces, both in fear and contempt
Agony of anticipation gather

Suddenly we walk. We shall not relent
And then the walk evolves into a run
Relying on energy heaven sent

A roar slowly builds. We want this fight won!
The roar grows as we grip our swords in hands
A thousand warriors screaming as one

You bastards may dare set foot on our lands
But if you want a fight, that’s fine by us
You’ll take my freedom from my cold head hands!

Prayer for the Depressed

Step outside. Look up at the sky so blue
You only get one shot at this lifetime
So don’t mess it up whatever you do
Keep moving ahead. Focus on the good times
This life’s too good. To waste it is a crime
The world’s waiting for you. Go out and see
Adversity may come but don’t shriek and whine
Every breath is precious – Do you hear me?
Just keep moving towards your destiny
You’ve only one face. Don’t give it a frown
And remember to smile: Most importantly
Just smile. Don’t let anyone bring you down

And then you’ll see it makes everything worthwhile
Fuck what the cynics say! Just go and smile!

Exile

Living in a world of dark and shadow
With surroundings that never want to change
I can travel to where I want to go
Provided everyone’s well out of range
That face in the broken mirror isn’t me
Thus, within time, I will be gone from here
“This isn’t happening”. None hear my plea
Ascending to an oblivion so clear
Contact with the world is already lost
Scratching at walls until my fingers bleed
Falling with a body covered in frost
Screaming with a voice that no one shall heed

This is my kingdom and it’s all I’ve got
And within its cold stone walls I shall rot

Wolf and Cub

There’s nothing wrong with my boy, you hear me?
I don’t appreciate the things you say
My teeth are bared as you can plainly see
So you’d be best getting out of our way
You’re not laying a finger on my boy
He’s my flesh and blood. To which I will dote
Yes, be it known that he’s my pride and joy
Mess with him and I’ll rip out your throat
He may be blind but one day he will dare
He may be helpless but he’s far from mild
He may be lame but he swipes like bear
And all that matters is he’s my child

I won’t let you within a foot of him
This is our world where you don’t belong in
