Chernobyl

Saw a documentary about the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster today, and came up with this:

There's a person waiting for you to come back home
and sleep by her side
She waits for a future with you and her
and maybe an innocent child

You could play all day
and put him on your back
You could see the smile on his face
and spend the rest of your life like that

Do you really wanna give that away?
Do you really wanna give them away?

Or are you waiting for the world to say

Please don't kill me for you ego
I don't deserve to die right now

Remember the games you used to play as a kid?
The ones with Superman and the bad guys
You've grown up now and there's no Superman
I'm not so sure about the bad guys

Do you know how many kids are playing
that very game right now?
Do you know how many mothers are praying
for their safety right now?

Do you really wanna take that away?
Do you have any right of playing with their happiness this way?

Or are you waiting for the world to say

Please don't kill me for your ego
I don't deserve to die right now

I'm a man, I'm a common man
A faceless man, an innocent man
I'm walking on the street
Following my daily routine

Can you give me a reason
for killing me slowly?
For killing my parents, my wife, my kids
my friends and my family?

I know you can't
I know you can't
I know you can't
Coz you're the same as me

Please don't kill me for your ego
I don't deserve to die right now

Find My Paradise

It is a lonely path I tread

With a couple of hopes

And dreams in my head

A lonely road

A lonely way

A lonely wind blowing my life into disarray

Is it unfair then, if I

Ak for some help

Or a piece of advice?

I’m just here to find my paradise

My paradise is a world

Where I’m not alone

With a few people I can call friends

And a place I can call home

‘tis a simple thing

The paradise that I seek

But coming across simple things is hard

Because they mean so much more to me

Along then, I’ll go

It is a long road ahead

And I still have

A couple of hopes and dreams

I won’t complain though

I’ll take life as it comes

With a pinch of salt and loads of spice

Who knows, maybe someday

I’ll find my paradise

I’ll find my paradise....

I am terrified of myself

It's getting dark
Night is setting in
The same old house that was
Cheery in the morn
is now getting gloomy and dim

I can hear the soft
whispers of the breeze
I can hear my own breath
Footsteps resounding and echoing
in this house of death

Every soft movement
feels like my last
every shadow; a murderer
every creak; my end
every passing moment, doubling the pace of my heart

Terrified to move
Afraid of staying alone
I look around slowly
This is the place I call home

I close my eyes
and remind myself
that my worst enemy
is my mind

I open them
and look into the mirror
a shadowy and pale reflection
of one that was caring and kind

This is my imagination
I say out loud
in a voice, not quite my own
I say it again, and again
but to no avail, nothing eased my pain

The pain of knowing
that I was being punished
Punished for my sin
A horrible sin, at that,
The sin of murdering my own kin

They are back to reclaim me
NO THEY'RE NOT
To take me to hell
NO THAT IS A FALSITY

I brought this upon myself

You brought this upon yourself
You brought this upon yourself.....

The Eyes That Dreamt

In a world enveloped in darkness
Where hopes are hard to find

Where people look inside themselves to see
All the things that pollute their mind
And pray in vain
For forgiveness

For purifying themselves
And their souls
To jusify their acts
Of greed and jealousy

She looked at me with eyes
That still shone with dreams

The dreams in those eyes
Promising hope for the hopeful
And trust for the thieves
The eyes that refuse to see
The world as it is

Believing and making me believe
Nothing is as bad as it seems

The eyes that shone with dreams...

I'm always there

When nothing seems to be
like you want it to be

When nothing happens
the way you plan

When everyone else is too far away
to make you happy

And all your problems
make you want to lose your mind

Remember
the door's always open
I'm there to catch your tears

Sooner or later
Everything's gonna get better
Coz it just can't get worse..

When everything you want
is just a step away

And that's the only step
you can't take

When everything you dreamed of
goes down the drain

And you all you feel like
is just a big mistake

Remember
There's someone to whom
you mean more than the world

Sooner or later
He's gonna make everything better
He'll kiss away all your fears......

Waiting for Somebody

Waiting for somebody to take my hand

and say to me don't worry I'm there

Waiting for somebody to take me along 

in this life that's so bloody unfair

Somebody like you...

Waiting for somebody to stand next to me

and make me feel like someone cares

Waiting for somebody to make me believe

again that a thing called love's still there

Somebody like you...

Been waiting for years

and nobody's come

Been waiting for years

am still all alone

Been waiting for years

it's like nobody cares

Been waiting for years

I just wish someone was there...

The Last Day

Hoped that this day would never end
Would give me more time to make amends
Would give me another chance to defend
All that I did
and am doing
I just wanted some time
to get a shot at explaining
how sorry I am
how regretful I feel
for being the cause of your pain
I just wanted one more hour
to hear your voice
to listen to you talking
To once again challenge whatever you say
I just want to feel the ascend
of my heart beat when I am with you
And then feel it slowly descend
I just wish this day would never end........
