What Cruel Flowers

How somber doth the mo(u)rning's wake! First light corrupts mine eyes!
Embittered in a sleepless waste - the Dream of sweet demise!
The Lover's lot, which Fate did rot, was twisted by the fetters which binds the heart you once forgot and bleeds forth on this letter.
No cry, no plea, nor last decree will free a heart un-mended.
Now coward's pen, not now or then, renewed a Love that's ended.
What cruel flowers thou hast brought me! What miserable Love we wear!
We kissed 'neath the moon and then, all too soon, I found you would bury me there!

Why did I have to fall in love again and give it all up again?
Why did I get to play the fool again? Now it's back to school again.
Gotta learn how a man makes it through the night, if he knows that his loving woman ain't laying by his side.
Will I ever find another woman loves me like you do?
I see your essence everywhere I look.
I see it in a flower, in a song, or in a book.
I'm seeing that it took losing you just to figure out who I am, and if it wasn't for your lovin' than I wouldn't be half the man.
Why can't we fall in love again? Why don't we fall in love again?

I don't say much, cus I ain't got much to say.
It's hard to trust cus my past gets in the way. I never rush if I know i've got all day.
But you've made up your mind. You say we're just wasting time. We'll meet when the time is right.
But still I found that sad look in your eyes. And you frown and look down and you say it's too late to make you turn around.
Cus you've made up your mind. You say we're just wasting time.
And with time maybe we'll find what's on both of our minds and we'll meet when the time is right. Let's meet when the time is right.
If I asked to stay another day, what would you say? Would you just walk away? Oh, won't you try? Come on and try to realize, open your eyes and see you were meant for me and I was meant for you.
Don't let me go, I don't want to be all alone
We'll meet when the time is right. Let's meet when the time is right. Can we meet when the time is right?

Love and Pain

Love and Pain, it's all the same to you. That's your point of view, but is it true? I want to know, baby what do you believe in? Which reality are you perceiving? Baby what's the reason you hide your love away?
Well don't a man feel bad when he gives it all he has, and sure enough he don't know why the girl he loves can never be satisfied?
But he thinks, "maybe she's wrong. Baby maybe I been loving you good all along"
Love and Pain, is it all a game to you? Love and pain, what difference does it make now anyways? Love and pain, though I remain confused. Baby, who do you love?
You only love me when we La La La La.

Intoxicated by the fruits of heaven that fell in my garden, I was unafraid.
I danced the drunkard's sabbath to the dismay of my neighbors.
For I was an artist, and pain was my muse and my bride.
Lo! I have painted a picture! Behold!

What It Is

We must be sadomasochistic the way we love the pain!
Sucka's for the suffering. It's written on my gold chain.
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
What it is...
Woke up this morning, 'fo my Cadillac machine. Gotta leave the city, don't you know what I mean? Cus the devil said "Gemini, Gemini, give me all your sin. I'll give you all the love that you don't get from your friends"
But this kinda love, it doesn't come cheap and I gotta leave the city cus i'm in too deep.
They say the road to heal is paved with good intentions.
What it is...
Its hard to be good, Heaven help me if you could!
We must be sadomasochistic, trade the lovin' for the pain!
Glutton's for the punishment, it's written on my gold chain.
They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
What it is...
It's hard to be good, Heaven help me if you could cus the devil knows my name he trying to repossess my Thang!
What it is...

I used to work the streets hustlin' the man.
Now i'm hustlin' the beat in a rock n' roll band.
Rollin' in the ruins about as low as I can stand, laughing as I watch what desperation does to Man.
It's hard livin' baby, don't I know it's true! I'm just trying to get along baby, just like you too.
People talk about me saying i'm so strange, cus there's nothing in my pockets but a handful of change. Well I don't care for money and I don't care for fame, I'm just waiting for the Maker to call my name.
Cus it's hard livin' baby, don't I know it's true! I'm just trying to get along baby just like you too.
Now I got a cool woman and she treats me good, so I promised my bay I would take her out the hood. So now i'm trying to get it like you know I should. I'm gonna get it baby any way I could.
It's hard livin' baby don't I know it's true! I'm just trying to get along baby, just like you too.
You can make it if you try!

Oye que suave canta el viento! Lla no siento dolor, lla no extraño el amor.
En la sombra de un arbol me dormi, en un sueño profundo calli y las almas olvidadas me trajieron una cara que me recordaba tanto a ti.
Sueño solo a despertar, que tristeza encontrar tu aliento ya se escapa con el viento. Siento que no puedo mas, te di todo lo que pude darte, aun asi te vale.
Reyna, oye que te lo imploro! Mira, te lo entrego todo. Mi vida, mi diente de oro. Si me voy me arrepiento, siento que no puedo solo.
Mas y mas doy la razon de romper mi corazon, de repente es un amor tan diferente. Sueño solo a despertar, que tristeza encontrar tu aliento ya se ido con el viento.
Reyna, oye que te lo imploro! Mira, te lo entrego todo. Mi vida, mi diente de oro. Si me voy me arrepiento, siento que no puedo solo.
Reyna, te lo entrego todo, mi vida, mi diente de oro.
