A Kingdom Far Away
All his life
He had lied
Kept inside
Deep inside
Something about himself
Every day
He would say
Always say
That one day
He could set himself free
If he could
Have one thing
Wouldn’t be
Anything
That could be bought with wealth
In his dreams
He would see
Everything
That he’d need
A prince; his fantasy
Every day
He would say
Always say
That one day...
When he went away
He’d be safe inside his arms
He’d have his never-ending love
He’d be safe from any hard
In a kingdom far away
Couldn’t tell
Wouldn’t tell
He refused
But somehow
His secret was revealed
He denied
It at first
He was scared
Unaware
Of what would happen next
Parents said
It was wrong
Deadly wrong
He felt like
His heart should be concealed
Then he found
That the prince
Of his dreams
Did exist
And so they went and left
Couldn’t tell
Wouldn’t tell
Where they went
But he left
A note behind that said
We have gone away
But I’m safe inside his arms
I have his never-ending love
And I’m safe from any harm
In a kingdom far away
Then the years had passed
And his prince was close to death
He looked into his prince’s eyes
As he took his final breath
He took a knife to his chest
And as he bled, he said
When I go away
We’ll be in each other's arms
We’ll have our never-ending love
We’ll be safe from any harm
In a kingdom far away...
A Love That Was Once Ours
[intro]
It hurts to say
My heart today
Aches much more
Than yesterday
When the love fades
We hide the pain
Behind the smile
A masquerade
[verse 1]
Our love was so prominent
Where did it go?
When hardships were dominant
Where did we go?
It used to be “thick-and-thin”
Where did that go?
If we’re so far apart, then
Where do we go?
When did I lose you?
When’d you lose me?
When did we lose sight
Of what used to be?
[hook]
We fight ‘til we’re losing our voice
And we scream ‘til we cry
But just before it was our choice
To be just us ‘til we die
[chorus]
It hurts to say
My heart today
Aches much more
Than yesterday
When the love fades
We hide the pain
Behind a smile
A masquerade
Our hearts, once whole
They start to break
What once was love
Has turned to hate
We turn away
But we can’t change
That how we feel
Is not the same
We leave our past
In grains of sand
We dust the ash
And try to stand
But we are left
With all the scars
...Of a love that was once ours
[verse 2]
We used to be so blissful
Where did it go?
We has dreams; we were wishful
Where did we go?
We used to have a strong bond
Where did that go?
We’ve been together so long
Where do we go?
How did we get here?
When did we drift
Where did we go wrong?
How’d it come to this?
[hook]
We fight ‘til we’re losing our voice
And we scream ‘til we cry
But just before it was our choice
To be just us ‘til we die
We lay in our ground of battles
And ignore what we feel
We watch as our love unravels
And it no longer feels real
[chorus]
It hurts to say
My heart today
Aches much more
Than yesterday
When the love fades
We hide the pain
Behind a smile
A masquerade
Our hearts, once whole
They start to break
What once was love
Has turned to hate
We turn away
But we can’t change
That how we feel
Is not the same
We leave our past
In grains of sand
We dust the ash
And try to stand
But we are left
With all the scars
...Of a love that was once ours
[bridge]
It hurts to say...
When the love fades...
Our hearts once whole...
We turn away...
We leave our past...
But we are left...
With a love that was once our’s
[chorus]
It hurts to say
My heart today
Aches much more
Than yesterday
When the love fades
We hide the pain
Behind a smile
A masquerade
Our hearts, once whole
They start to break
What once was love
Has turned to hate
We turn away
But we can’t change
That how we feel
Is not the same
We leave our past
In grains of sand
We dust the ash
And try to stand
But we are left
With all the scars
...Of a love that was once ours
It hurts to say
My heart today
Aches much more
Than yesterday
When the love fades
We hide the pain
Behind a smile
A masquerade
Our hearts, once whole
They start to break
What once was love
Has turned to hate
We turn away
But we can’t change
That how we feel
Is not the same
We leave our past
In grains of sand
We dust the ash
And try to stand
But we are left
With all the scars
...Of a love that was once ours
To Whom It May Concern
Dear mom,
I can no longer go on
Thank you for trying to help me
But I am too far gone
I know you said I'd find another
But nobody can replace him as mine
Somehow I think you'll understand
Just what that feels like...
And to whom it may concern
I've given up on life
I can no longer go on
Without him by my side
And to whom it may concern
I've drawn my final breath
I have healed the pain of life
With the sweet embrace of death
And to whom it may concern
I'll see you on the other side
I bid thee a farewell
So good luck with your life
Dear sis,
You've helped me out so much
And don't think it was in vain
But I have just had enough
And if you can learn one thing
Sister, please make it this
Make sure to always love your guy
And cherish every kiss
And to whom it may concern
I've given up on life
I can no longer go on
Without him by side
And to whom it may concern
I've drawn my final breath
I have healed the pain of life
With the sweet embrace of death
And to whom it may concern
I'll see you on the other side
I bid thee a farewell
So good luck with your life
And dear dad...
How is the afterlife?
There's no sense asking
I'll see it with my own eyes
Have you met him yet?
If you have, then hows he been?
I'll be there soon, dad.
But I'm not sure exactly when...
And to whom it may concern
I've given up on life
I can no longer go on
Without him by side
And to whom it may concern
I've drawn my final breath
I have healed the pain of life
With the sweet embrace of death
And to whom it may concern
I'll see you on the other side
I bid thee a farewell
So good luck with your life...
Bullet For Wensley
For a man like you, life was always hard
Never had a big house or a working car
I guess that's why you were always so good at thinking on your feet
Growin up you hung with the wrong kids
Life was always drugs, sex, and violence
No surprise how things turned up so dark and so wrong...
So you spent 10 years getting high off cocaine
Injecting needles directly into your vien
Doing whatever it took to numb the heart break and pain
You met a man named Wensley
He was an angel sent, he
Got you on your feet and he changed your whole life
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
For him you'd throw away your life
It was already hard enough for me
But this is the hardest of goodbyes
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
You owe it to him in your eyes
One last time come here and hold me
Before I send you off to die...
Before I send you off to die...
If I recall correctly
The man that we call Wensley
We met through him and it seemed so meant to be
Then one day you got a phone call
Wensley said he'd got into a brawl
Shot 2 men down and that he had to hit the road
So you told him not to worry
To hide somewhere and to hurry
You were gonna admit to something you didn't even do...
Now this man named Wensley
Was hiding away from the world, he
Knocked you off your feet and changed your whole life
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
For him you'd throw away your life
It was already hard enough for me
But this is the hardest of goodbyes
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
You owe it to him in your eyes
One last time come here and hold me
Before I send you off to die...
Before I send you off to die...
No matter how much I beg, you just won't break
You'll pay the ultimate cost for his mistake
Even if I screamed, pleading for you not to go
Nobody can change your mind; yah that much I know...
Just promise me one thing; promise that you'll kiss me
Grab me by the hand; tell me that you'll miss me
I'll miss you too, babe; as long as I'm alive
I'll never have another, to replace you by my side
(You may be unreachable...but I'll never let go.)
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
For him you'd throw away your life
It was already hard enough for me
But this is the hardest of goodbyes
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
You owe it to him in your eyes
One last time come here and hold me
Before I send you off to die...
Before I send you off to die...
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
For him you'd throw away your life
It was already hard enough for me
But this is the hardest of goodbyes
So you're taking a bullet for Wensley
You owe it to him in your eyes
One last time come here and hold me
Before I send you off to die...
Before I send you off to die...
These are the sad songs I wrote
