dedicated to c & c, in loving memory...

why ain't that enough?

i love somebody naturally
i love somebody faithfully
i love somebody equally
it's not enough
it's not enough

i love somebody joyfully
i love somebody honestly
i love somebody tenderly
she's out of touch
it's not enough
it's not enough

i love somebody foolishly
i love somebody hopelessly
it's not enough
it's not enough
why ain't that enough?

feelin'

out of touch, most of the time
got a lot of things to speak my mind
grow it long, shave it off?
live is hard, never soft.
i need a change, i need it quick
throw a brick, before it makes me sick?
that's what's on my mind

pay attention, watch your back, behave correct
can you feel the dragon, yeah, dragon attack?
pay your dues, stay on track
got no room for second-guess
lovin' you puts me under stress -
if i were you, and you were me
i'd rather know who i'd wanna be
with just one kiss, you'd set me free
but you say NO just send me away...

feelin' -
fuck I didn't realize what I've been feelin'
and no one else will ever know
what I've been feelin'
bleedin' -
and life's so pointless after all
reelin' -
my senses tangled in a new parfume

now black is white, and white is black
got a dragon sittin' on my back
kills me, painful, daemons in my head
a stranger stranded inside myself
shut it down, let it die
feelings turn into a lie...
kill if off, let it break -
before it gets too late.

feelin' is believing,
come on, let me believe in you...

easy*

(turn the lights off baby...
this one's for the ladys in the house)

i know it sounds funny but i just can't stand the pain
friends i'm leaving you tomorrow
seems to me friends i've done anything as good as i can
but there was nothing in you for me to borrow...

(hm - yeah - so i guess that's it...?
well, fuck - all we need to know is that we're free at last)

i know it sounds funny but i don't know where to put the blame
friends i'm leaving you tomorrow
seems to me friends we still don't know how to get outta this game
what else is life than just a crazy ballroom?

hey, i'm free at last! that's why i'm easy, easy like sunday morning
that's why i'm easy, i'm easy like sunday morning...

i wanna be high, so high
i wanna be free to know the things i do are right
i wanna be free - just me...
(yeah)

that's why i'm easy, easy like sunday morning
that's why i'm easy, i'm easy like sunday morning...

unforgiven**

(to james hatfield, the second angriest child on earth)

a new life joins the earth
and soon it is repressed
shaped by our hate & greed
and anything else we're blessed

so hey I'm calling out
i lable you, you lable me
i have become the one who i was meant to be -
but you're too weak to shout..

but now i'm free
i'm always me...
so love me or hate me do
believe me friend
i don't care 'bout you...
