Don't Change

Verse One:
I love the disappointment written on your face
When I pick up a beer, you frown,
you look down it kills me
I love how you look in your flower dress today
And the way you tilt your head
when you smile from cheek to cheek
The views around me disappear

Chorus:
You are beautiful, talented
Don't reconstruct anything
It's perfect the way that it is
I love your wittiness
Your caring nature, with you it's bliss
Don't change who you are
Don't change anything

Verse Two:
Her insecurities, her strengths
It makes her perfect
I want her to know that it's true
And when she cries it chips at my heart, until it shatters
So let me wipe away those tears for you

Repeat Chorus x2

OASIS

I see past the black, misty mountains
Rain droplets rushing down, like micro fountains
Tall trees whistling, and whispering in the crisp air
I’ll forget about the worries, I don’t care
What’s happening back in reality?
I’m here to reclaim my spirituality.

It’s windy and breezy, but I take it easy
Enjoying my atmosphere and my view
The colourless clouds, hiding the sky’s blue
Rustling and kicking tiny rocks that I walk along as winds start hitting me strong
Stepping towards, the prickly bushes on the side
Little insects and geckos, camouflaged, they hide

Sounds of little kids rejoicing and playing
Shouts of youth, and their inappropriate sayings
Slaying the day, and just relaxing, I’m comfortable
Camp owner strutting around near me, like he’s mister king constable
Photographer shares the same crimson liquid in his veins like me
Annoying me, while I engage myself in deep poetry
He’s capturing a moment of my complexion
Lenses on my reflection, picture shows perfection

A dormant bonfire and a pretty girl lying on a bench alone
Probably wishing, she could just, be back home
Her mood similar, to the leaves that are dying
Ray of hope, soon to be arriving
I now see love in its purest form, a mother’s gaze
As she surveys her child’s face
I miraculously see, passed the sun rays
It must be this place, hoping the joy lasts for days

It’s great here at the Christian convention Oasis
The unpolluted air, the range and spaces
I ponder for a while
Clear my mind, and enter into meditation
Open my eyes breathe in and smile
Admire the wonders of God’s beautiful creation.
Dreading the moments of having to rejoin humanity
This Oasis, why couldn’t you just be my reality?

My Personal Rapture

Yes I am an insomniac, alcoholic and I am depressed
Read into my past, you’ll never pass my tests
I’m confused, troubled and compressed
Beware! If you get me stressed
You’ll fuse a ticking time bomb, ready to explode
But lucky for you, I’m calm but I implode
So you never have to suffer through another dramatic episode!


These days, I’m defeating the demonization, the complications
I’m nursing my wounds, without liquids and substances
It’s about time I did too, goodbye vices during the winter blues
I know that it’s written in my history and it’ll stay with me for eternity
But cleansing will soar through and I’ll move on with certainty
So come on! Bring on the obstacles and addictions, I’ll fight
Renewal doesn’t begin tomorrow, change starts tonight

I raise my arms in victory with work and university
I’m transformed into who I was destined to be
As I stare in the evil eyes of adversity
I slaughter the evil like a vigilante, to see goodness prevail perfectly
The demons imprinted my soul with sins, but I’m desperate to win
So I fire back with a stamp on their cranium
A blood written declaration of fail on them

The Spiritual warfare, the battle for my heart
I was weak then, but now I’m steel, you can’t tear me apart
Now I see that, you’re nothing, you’re useless
Yes, you’re jealous and ruthless
Now I got someone on my side
Yes, be terrified, tremble, and race to hide
My God will overpower you, I’ll definitely testify

Pure truth set me free from his self-destructive lies
Demons be gone, our union, crumbles, fumbles then dies
I am changed and forever I’m motivated, I’ll continue to try
The land of my heart, mind and soul are no longer dark or dry
You lost, and you’re devastated from my direction of dedication
Of being secured and reclaiming what I miss
Enjoy another thousand years stuck in your abyss

So as my past is lowered six feet underground
I hear the Lord’s voice, a deep holy sound
Saying the patience of two years have passed, at last,
You’re granted with your licence of freedom, but I sadly see him
I see liberty while he enters into a captive cell, his new personal hell
We both lived at rock bottom Boulevard, but the difference is, I acted with intelligence to end the game
While the illness was taken by the demons that led to the disgrace of his ancestral name


The crash, the burn and the scandal leads to my personal rapture
I’m not speaking of death; I’m speaking of starting a new chapter
Twenty thousand down in debt, I’ve learnt and I’ve wept
I truly smile now, as I gaze at the heavens through the sun,
The brightness surrounds, the dark days reach the finish line, and I won
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve definitely had my fun
But like Christ declared on the cross, it’s accomplished, it’s finished and it’s finally done.
