Know Me (Faww Live)

I am here and I wandering
I'm at sea and on the shore
I'm debating a commitment
Though I am forever yours
I am hurting I am healing
I am losing track of time
I am growing most impatient
With what I am sure is mine
Sure is mine
And I want him cause he'll
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
I've been feeling undervalued
Undeserving and disgraced
When our bodies came together
Twice you came with different face
Then the seasons traced their trails
Like a wagon traces their tracks
Like a cat chases its tail
Or a scholar chases facts
And I want her cause she'll
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Will you love me like a lover
Will you hear what I've to say
Will you help create my fable
In that special kind of way
There is an ending I've requested
Though the price is high indeed
When I'm loved and I am needed
That's when I will truly be
Free
And I want em cause they'll
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it
Know me
And hear me out about it

Truly (Faww Live)
02:28

Times are hard like glass or stone
Caught between my fingernails
But I'm quite real and not alone
But scared I am to fail
Affection makes a lover rise
Like yeast inside the dough of bread
But sometimes I consider this
Would I be better dead
Find me quickly I'm to young to tell
Help me, please see, i'm not doing well
Its like dreaming through a living hell
Sadly, sadly, sadly oh
Freezing cold and burning hot
Transient insecurity
I can feel just what I'm not
With self proclaimed a'surety
Renew my heart and change my ways
I am lost till I am saved
But I refuse the help I need
Is this what makes me free?
Find me quickly I'm to young to tell
Help me, please see, i'm not doing well
Its like dreaming through a living hell
Sadly, sadly, sadly oh
Find me quickly I'm to old to tell
Help me, please see, i'm not doing well
Its like dreaming through a living hell
Sadly, sadly, sadly oh

Little Box (Faww Live)

Slip a ring on my finger
Lead me, away from this place
Eyes drop to the dirt where I came from
Am I in love, or just taking up space?
Little box of self pity, four walls of guilt around me
Topped off with a ceiling of pride and I
I have a habit of not speaking my mind
Slip a ring on my finger
Lead me, away from this place
I don't want nobody else to love me
Common, and put your lips on my face
What would it take, for you to make
Myself, your person?
I don't have much. But I am willing
To change
Little box of self pity, four walls of guilt around me
Topped off with a ceiling of pride and I
I have a habit of not speaking my mind.

Your like two glass boxes
Seen through one the other shifts
Like staring into mirrors
That stand across from one another
You see yourself, see yourself
Self
We're like two red foxes
Out of light and dark we plunge
Into deep worm strewn soil
We fly, with one another
I'm Like two smooth rocks
Fondled by the rivers run
Amidst the murk and the setting sunlight
I find myself and rest myself against myself
I find myself and rest myself against myself

Down by the old graveyard
Barefoot we'd walk all around
Scared not of the ghosts for
Flowers we'd plant in the ground
Next to the headstones of
Parents and lovers and friends
More children than children
All grown who have stopped visiting
And we loved
And were loved
And the summer sighed
And gave up her children
I read you books who's
Bindings were worn and well known
You twirled in skirts who's
Fabrics held hues from the loam
Byzantium called us to
Never no never grow old
And us being children
Always did just as were told
And we loved
And were loved
And the summer sighed
And gave up her children
You've picked your plot you say
Where forever you'll want to lay
And I wonder throughout these days
Will I lay beside you always
Will I lay beside you always
Will I lay beside you always
Will I lay beside you always

Death (Faww Live)
04:28
|

|
I am a stranger in the land
Where my foregathers trod;
A stranger I unto each heart
But not unto my God!
I pass along the crowded streets,
Unrecognized is my name;
This thought will come amid regrets-
My God is still the same!
I seek with joy my childhood's home,
But strangers claim the sod;
Bot knowing where my kindred roam,
Still present is my God!
They tell me my friends all sleep
Beneath the valley clod
Oh is not faith submissive sweet!
I have no friend save God!

Today I write home to you my lovely
Today I sit in church and sing
Alls not lost, all is lost to this
Telling tales in the form of whispers
Telling her how much I miss her
Folded up, listening intently
Faded words are not worth remembering
Alls not lost, all is lost to this
She will cry again
She will try again
He will write again
He will pray again
The sea is calling to you my lover
I won't forget you, I won't remember
Please forget me, please don't forget me
The sea is calling, and I must go
Alls not lost, all is lost to this
He will sing again
And she, will love again
Today I write home to you my lovely
How I miss you, how I miss you

Elixir (Faww Live)

Goodmorning sunshine whats the news
What makes your eyes so green and true
Reveal to me your mysteries
And why its you that makes me sing
Lets run away
The timings not right is what they all say
But lets go anyway
This elixir runs out but I am here to stay
I find you fascinating me
With every smile your beckoning
When we're alone these hearts speak
They whisper things we've dreamed could be
Lets run away
The feelings won't last is what they all say
But lets go anyway
This elixir may run out but I am here to stay
But you and I were meant to be somehow
I'm holding you, at last in these arms
Come what may, the future's not important
Just today
Good morning sunshine
Good morning sunshine

None But Me (Faww Live)
04:10

I left my home in Old Carolina town
I left the trees, that kind summer breeze and ran down
To a southern state, a foster home
But my heart it ached for the mountains glow
And no one could sympathize, none but me
There was a boy who thought me a toy from back home
He forced on us shame yet transgressions and blame fell on me
And he did his best to destroy himself
And he tried to ruin what was mine as well
And nobody seemed to care, none but me
Caught in a sweat I left to forget what I'd done
You see, he would not leave my mind or let me alone
I laid a snare to see if he'd dare take the bait
He did and I lashed out in justice or was it hate?
And the wind it howled and moved through me
And it dried the blood on my hands and feet
And nobody else was there, none but me
And nobody else would dare, none but me

Don't listen to this rhythm
Don't listen to this rhyme
If your heart is over-anxious baby
Or you just don't have a love like mine
A poet to un-listening ears
And a lover with no fears
Riches in pennies and coins oh baby
If you try you just might prove your point
Get back empty cynicism
Go home skeptics your a drag
Ain't no movers or shakers ever
Live their lives like that
Come on live a little
But your not all pink and posey
Every flower's got some thorns to show
But you can't help but be lovely baby
Oh if we try we just might prove our point
Oh but the worlds in your hands now
Oh do as you please
One thing you should know
You may betray me, but I don't live to please
Get back empty cynicism
Go home skeptics your a drag
Ain't no movers or shakers ever
Live their lives like that
Come on live a little
