A Friend's Greeting

I'd like to be the sort of friend that
you have been to me
I'd like to be the help that
you've been always glad to be

I'd like to mean as much to you
each minute of the day
As you have meant, old friend of mine,
to me along the way.

I'd like to do the big things and
the splendid things for you,
To brush the gray from out your skies
and leave them only blue;

I'd like to say the kindly things that
I so oft have heard,
And feel that I could rouse your soul
the way that mine you've stirred.

I'd like to give you back the joy
that you have given me,
Yet that were wishing you a need
I hope will never be;

I'd like to make you feel as rich as I,
who travel on
Undaunted in the darkest hours with you to
lean upon.

I'm wishing at this time that I
could but repay
A portion of the gladness that
you've strewn along my way;

And could I have one wish this year,
this only would it be:
I'd like to be the sort of friend
that you have been to me.

I Never Told You What I Do For A Living

Stay out of the lie
All the photographs that I gave you
And you can say your prayer if you need to
Or just get in line and I'll brief you
Can I meet you alone?
Another night and I'll see you
Another night and I'll be you
Some other way to continue
To hide my face

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe

The kind of dirty where the water never cleans off the clothes
I keep a book of the names and those
Only go so far to bury them
So deeper down we go
Just like angels do
I fall out of grace
I been it all so maybe I'd move this everyday

Another knife in my hands
A stain that never comes off the sheets
Clean me off, I'm so dirty babe

It ain't the money and it sure as hell ain't just for the fame
It's for the bodies I claim and lose
Only go so far to bury them
So deeper down we go
Down and down we go
It's down we go
It's down we go
AND WE ALL FALL DOWN!
(repetitive violent screaming)
And we'll all dance along to the tune of your death
We'll love again
We'll laugh again
And it's better off this way

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now
Well never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

We're dead
One more night
One more night
We'll I'll stop crying
I'll stop laughing
Well I tried, well I tried
Cause I tried, but I lied
Well I tried
Well I tried
Well I said
Well...
And we'll love again
We'll laugh again
We'll cry again
And we'll dance again
And it's better off this way, so much better of this way
I can't clean the dirt off cause she's in my way

Never again, and never again
They gave us two shots to the back of the head
And we're all dead now

jika aku harus....

Jika aku harus berenang di laut untuk mendapatkan apa yang aku inginkan,
aku akan belajar bagaimana berenang, dan aku akan mengarungi lautan itu.

Jika aku harus mendaki gunung tertinggi untuk mendapatkan apa yang aku inginkan, aku akan belajar cara memanjat, dan aku akan memanjat gunung itu.

Jika aku harus menyelam samudra terdalam untuk mendapatkan apa yang aku inginkan, maka aku akan belajar bagaimana cara menyelam, dan aku akan menyelami samudra itu.

Jika aku kecewa karena hal-hal yang tidak tampak seperti yang aku inginkan,
maka aku akan belajar bagaimana menerimanya, dan aku akan mencoba untuk menerimanya.

Setidaknya sekarang aku telah mengalami bagaimana berenang, mendaki dan menyelam dan juga bagaimana untuk menerima segala sesuatu yang berasal dari usahaku..

Kemudian, aku akan mencoba kembali untuk melakukan lebih baik. Demi apa yang aku inginkan…

Aku akan datang.. dan mencapai semua itu.. Semoga saja keinginan ini adalah baik… dan untuk kebaikan :)
