Lost souls
3/5/01

Where did we all come from
Does anyone know
and where are we headed
following the love that flows

Is there a book of answers
within our grasp
and if we were to find it
would its knowledge last


Do we hold the truth in our minds
and what does it take for us to find
the knowledge in our souls
the knowledge we all know


What is it we are missing
in our everyday lives
searching for the meanings
of why we work to survive

And what if I had all the answers
would everyone listen to me
what would it take
to show them all how to see


And we hold the truth in our minds
so what does it take for us to find
And how can the know
this world is full of lost souls

I MUST BE IN ME: 3/5/01
Music & Lyrics by William Dorsett

WHAT IS THIS DARKNESS
I FEAR SO MUCH
WILL IT GO AWAY
WITH LOVE OR TOUCH

WHY CANT I FIND
MY DEAREST LOVE
IS IS T BELOW
OR IS IT ABOVE


WHERE AM I
I CAN NOT SEE
I MUST BE IN HELL
I MUST BE IN ME


WHAT IS THIS PLACE
WITHOUT LOVE
AM I BELOW
OR AM I ABOVE

HOW DO I GET OUT
OF THIS HORRID PLACE
HOW DO I SAVE MY SOUL
I WANT TO LEAVE THIS SPACE

WHERE AM I
I CANNOT SEE
I MUST BE IN HELL
I MUST BE IN ME

how do I leave
I cannot see
how do I get outside of hell
how do I get out of me

LET THE LOVE FLOW IN
OR FOREVER SHALL YOU STAY
WITH IN YOUR DARKEND DEN

Everlast 4/17/01


I can’t wait to leave this place
moving forward to a sacread space
Moveing on through the sky
and everyone will be high

what is it I can say
about our trip about our way
we all walk the same path
to a life of everlast

I am here watching you
says the love we flow through
I will hold you up right now
believe in me never doubt

What is it I can show you
that will lead to the truth
we all walk the same path
to a life of everlast

Blind 5. 2 . 01
I have been hear before
once again through the door
I have found the truth
led to it by you
I have seen the other side
while walking through the forest in my mind

I couldn’t have done it without you
I wouldn’t have found the truth
you and me have to be
so why is it you cant see
your the one I tried to find
without you babe I am blind......

I remember the first
trip that we shared
you sent me in myself
what no one else would dare
I fell hard and fast
wanting it to last
these feelings for you
without I am through

I couldn’t have done it without you
I wouldn’t have found the truth
you and me just got to be
why cant you see
you’re the one I tried to find
with out you I am going blind
blind
blind

LOCKED UP Written 6/7/95

White coats
are chaseing me
to the point
of insanity
locked up
in a padded room of white
strapped in
this bed tonight


Locked up in myself
Locked up in this cell
Locked up with myself
Locked up in this hell


They prod and probe me
just trying to find out
why I am crazy
Yet if they would just realize
Insanity is perception
to would find a big surprize

Locked up in myself
Locked up in this cell
Locked up with myself
Locked up in this hell


Insane
thats the way they made me
strait jacket
raped around me
Electricity
giveing shock theripy
waiting for
reality
but what is
reality
reality
reality

2/28/01 APART

VERSE 5 9th, 4 11th, 3 11th

Now I am here
Reflecting this
Nothing is real
But your sweet kiss
Here I am
Wishing for more
But you have
Closed your heart’s door
Here we go
Once again
Try to be fair
Try to be friends

CHORUS 5 5th, 4 7th, 3 7th
Here I stand all alone
You take everything I want
I am left here all alone
All I have left are my thoughts
Here I stand by myself
Wishing I had your heart
But I am standing by myself
Falling falling apart


VERSE
Gentle I touch
I say good-bye
To all I want
And you wont try

BRIDGE 5 5th, 4 7th, 3 7th

Bring me my gown
So I may lay
My dreams to rest
Tears end my day

CHORUS
Here I stand all alone
You take everything I need
I am left all alone
All I have left is me
Here I stand by myself
Wishing I had your heart
But I am standing by myself
Falling falling apart
Falling falling apart
Falling falling apart
end music
spoken:
Falling falling apart

lyrics by Seleka Beehrs music by William Dorsett

 

(i cant get enough (C)2004 WJD)

I cant get enough of you

You know that my words are true

And I may not be good enough for you

And I understand, the things your going through

I want you to know I am here for you

IF any of my comfort will ever do

I may seam a little incoherant

But i am sure my feelings are aparent

And every time I think about you

You dont understand, that my heart beats true..

And I want you to know how i feel

My friendship to you is more than real

I can’t get my thoughts away from you

The more i learned the more they grew

And i may not be there for what your going through

And my embrace my not be good enough for you

I want you to know i am here for you

If I can offer any comfort to you

You may seam a bit intolerant

But i could have just been incoherant

And every time I dream of you

MY pillows embrace will never do

And i want you to know how i feel

This conection seams so sureal

 

 

) your eyes are glistening as i am listening (2) on the phone i hear your voice

to everything you say and its comforting to me

I look at you and happily smile with my hand i caress your hair

as your smile comes my way and gaze in awe as it falls free

I hold you hand and gently kiss i look at you as you speak to me

a little affection never hurts i feel your words ring true

i cant help but notice just how i smell your sent and im drawn in

captivated i am by your words i cant stop thinking about you

I look at you as you look at me i touch you as you look at me

and i feel the warmth within and i feel emotion creeping in

in my mind I question how in my mind i think to myself

long before one of us gives in how long till one of us gives in

the passion burns with moving desire the intensity stirs as the passion burns

and yet i yearn, to be embraced by you and yet i yearn, to be embraced by you

the careing builds, can this be real the feelings rise, can this be right

you seam so wonderful in all the things you do I feel that I love knowing you

 

(chorus)

here i am paitent for you

here i am waiting for you

here i am yearning for you

here i am missing you

here i am wishing for you

to be missing me too 2004 (c)wjd)

 

What would you do

If i looked at you

What would you say

To tomorows another day

What would you feel

If i said this was real

Can you call my name

Without playing games

Can you show me truth

While being honest to you

 

What would you do

If i told you i love you

What would you say

Aas i call your name

What would you feel

If i showed you its real

 

Can you tell me the same

Without playing games

Can you show me truth

Without lying to you.

(2004 wjd)

 

Here i am

Holding on to a dream

Nothing is real

Or as it seams

I draw you a picture

So that you might see

All these things

That stir inside of me

I write you a note

So that you might feel

The spirit inside of me

Emotions that are real

 

How can you deny

The conection between you and I

How can you turn away

Does doubt lead you astray

So qucik are you to judge

One mistake,, and you bare a grude

What makes you so certain

For you to lower the curtian

Nothing is said and done

So please please don’t shun

(ME)


 

here is some lyrics from bands I find inspirational

(TOOL) from the albulm lateralus (lateralus, and reflection)

Lateralus

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.

Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.

Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.

I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in,
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going...

Disposition

Mention this to me
Mention something, mention anything

... and watch the weather change.

Reflection

I have come curiously close to the end, down
Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole,
Defeated, I concede and
Move closer
I may find comfort here
I may find peace within the emptiness
How pitiful

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping
The moon tells me a secret - my confidant
As full and bright as I am
This light is not my own and
A million light reflections pass over me

Its source is bright and endless
She resuscitates the hopeless
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting

And as I pull my head out I am without one doubt
Don't wanna be down here feeding my narcissism.
I must crucify the ego before it's far too late
I pray the light lifts me out
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late
To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical,
And you will come to find that we are all one mind
Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.
Just let the light touch you
And let the words spill through
And let them pass right through
Bringing out our hope and reason ...
before we pine away.
