Darnell Chavis

It's been a great night
At the weight watchers-convention and my soul is light
I’m ready for the take-off and happy to get lost

And I know its not my call
I’m just getting over
But you shouldn’t have got me lulled
Cause now I want to sink some deeper

I’m dining, I’m increasing the rate of my tinfoiled snacks
And I’m losing weight
And the ground is soft and my my mouth is soft
And all is lost

And I know its not my call
I’m just getting over
But you shouldn’t have got me lulled, love
The great divine at all cost
And i just wanna fade away
And loose this state

I am sober, I’m just getting older and i just need that rush

And I wanna feel how great it feels
I wanna know, my lies, my suckling soul

Still I carry on though I’ve been waiting much too long
I’ve been lost I’ve been found
Up, to come right down

I’ve been stopped, my luck impound
And I put my worries, into songs and sounds

Exhibit came to my aid, hailed and praised
But it had my soul out for sale
Burned down, when it all failed
I’ve been stopped, my luck impound

So I put my worries into songs and sounds
While the world came down
And I stood my ground
While their world came down

Then I fell into disgrace, took a liking in being made
I’ve been SSIK and oversee, open, secretly
I’ve been the first, but always late
I got sunburned in the shade

My luck impound
And I put my worries in these songs and sounds
While the world came down
I just stood my ground
For a chance to come around

A slight urge to call you
In the middle of the night
Your sight has set me on fire but it's warmth without delight

Since you were mine during that time
The state you left me in felt strange for I was denied

I find myself so blind
But I didn't mind

I remember the whispers, your 'sirens-advise'
They brought a smile to your face that never reached your eyes

When I took the fall and I was nursing my pride
You felt great you’d left me 'dead' and denied

I find myself so blind
But I didn't mind

Defeat is my greatest triumph
Apologies are not due
The clues you've left me
Girl I wonder, did you know I knew that I'd be fine

Cause I didn't mind

Can't stare it in the face
Won't find it in one place
Trace it if I could, but it won't be understood

Who is in control
Will I ever bare that soul
It plays a trick on me and it seems to fool us all

Wish that you and I were lovers
but I don’t know the game
Please can I have the rules explained again

Some say its in the stars
But I bet for the moon
The answers ain’t that far, but it won’t be found too soon

It’s playing with my heart
It’s passion pulls the pain
Intending to outsmart, but I end up in refrain

Wish that you and I were lovers
but I don’t know the game
Please can I have the rules explained again

Here’s a song to ease the pain
To let go of love remains
Time and time a lover was laid waste

I tell myself there’s more than this
It must be possible to kiss
Without that bitter aftertaste

And yes we’re happening
And it’s really good it is so familiar and still it’s new
Leaving me with nothing else to say
I don’t want to think further than today

Get me blinkers turn me blind
Ignoring every warning sign
Everything that’s written in your face

Trouble anger things gone bad
I see it coming miles ahead
But i prefer to look the other way

Cause as long this is happening
Don’t hold me back I’m diving in
Just pretend that’s how its mend to be
And i’m doing as i did before
Past mistakes are mine no more
Today’s as good as it feels
Today’s as good as it feels

I’m turning deaf by my own choice
Don’t listen to that little voice
living in the corner of my mind

In every sense of the word
With all my senses I’ve been hurt
But i know you’re worth to give a try

Cause as long this is happening
Don’t hold me back I’m diving in
Just pretend that’s how its mend to be
And I’m doing as i did before
Past mistakes are mine no more
Today’s as good as it feels
Today’s as good as it feels

I’m close to comfort with my task he said, when I asked
I want straight tonight, but I’m diverted all the time
Is that bad?

And when he hit me with his kiss
I tasted whiskey on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who loved me

He’d hide in trees to oversee
the targets, hit on the liver or close to it
A figure filled his upper arm
A tattooed Calvin like his so
What a charm

But he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted teardrops on my lips burning
Full of fire was he, who undone me

His head’s at home, a heart o’ stone,
Said: live my life to ruine another one
Bought the sweet another shot
He dropped his guns for the drink was all he got

When he kissed me with his fist,
I tasted blood on my lips, turning,
Full of anger is he, full of hatred he’ll be,
he who learned how to kill me

Just like I'm not your lover
Like I'm not your man
You keep me undercover
Like I'm just a good friend.
I want to take you places
Want to show you new things
But you'd rather hang with your girlfriends
And its causing me pain.

Sometimes I love you is true to be told
But baby I need
Some action shown.
I busted my ass
To give you my all.
But I can't go through life
Feeling 2 inches tall, girl

Make me know it
If you feel like I do
Won't you show it.
Girl I'm crazy for you.
Make me know it.
If you feel like I do
You don't show it
I feel like Boo Boo the fool.

I write you love letters
To put a smile on your face.
But you don't appreciate it
Cause I come home
And they're thrown all over the place.
I feel like I'm not even wanted,
And if that's how it going to be...
Maybe it'll be better
If I just pack my bags and leave.

Sometimes I love you is true to be told
But baby I need
Some action shown.
I busted my ass
To give you my all.
But I can't go through life
Feeling 2 inches tall,
Got to give me your all
Baby, baby, baby...

Make me know it
If you feel like I do
Won't you show it.
Girl I'm crazy for you.
Make me know it.
If you feel like I do
You don't show it
I feel like Boo Boo the fool.

You got me.
Walking around with my head hanging down, baby
Don't know what to do.
You ain't feeling me like I'm feeling you.
Make me know it baby!
Do you want me,
Do you need me,
Are you feeling me baby?
(Don't know what to do)
You ain't feeling me...
Make me know it baby.

Make me know it
If you feel like I do
Won't you show it.
Girl I'm crazy for you.

I just saw a smile in the crowd
And it reminded me of you
In the happy days, before this solitude

Time stood still
And I realized that against my will
Leaving forced loving into pain

Lover, take me in your arms again

Gently heard our voice
Felt you close, as if you were standing right beside me
As if I'd never went away

Yes I'm ready now
To face this bitter wrong somehow
And prove what words can not explain

Lover, take me in your arms again

I thought that I had lost my love
But you're the one I'm dreaming of
It came to hunt me every day
I tried to run away, I tried to be apart
But I can not escape a loving heart, my loving heart

I will understand if you can't like before
But please take me in your arms once more
Because my love it never changed
It never really went away
Lover I'm back I'm here to stay

Lover, take me in your arms again
And hold me like before
Take me in your afms and I'll be yours
Once more

On the horizon of desert sand
Surrounded by devout naked land
We drove out early before the dawn
Waited silent for things to come

And what followed looked like the sun
Was a prayer for the gun

Before the earth moved there was the sound
Dark billows rose over holy ground
I was tempted to look right in
Where He could withstand I pledged to sin

And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun

As the spirit sent him out to do what he has done shouting kingdom come!
I fell down upon my knees to meet my maker with a plea to make it all undone

And what followed looked like the sun
Was praying for a gun

Goodnight dear bottle
It is time for me to go
Before long I’ll be back to say hello

Goodbye dear friends and all that follows
You know the clock says time to close
We’ve been down to the bottom and it shows

We'll be meeting, bumping into doorways
And walking into walls
Taking steps right before the tumble, before the silence falls

Goodnight see you in the morning
I’ll be waiting just outside
My guide to life is hiding round the corner, right?

So we’ll be meeting, bumping into doorways
And walking into walls
Here’s to us
Taking steps right before the tumble, before the silence falls

We’ll be meeting, somewhere near the doorway
On the steps of heavens gate
And I will sing this song
Here’s to us, right before the tumble, before the silence falls
