"They only burn themselves to reach Paradise"
                                       - Mne. Nhu

original courage is good,
motivation be ******,
and if you say they are trained
to feel no pain,
are they
guarenteed this?
is it still not possible
to die for somebody else?

you sophisticates
who lay back and
make statements of explanation,
I have seen the red rose burning
and this means more.

The world moves oh so fast
Sometimes its hard to catch your breath
Its like playing pick up sticks
As you pick up the pieces of the past

Sometimes death is so hard to let go
To say farewell goodbye to my sweet sister of mine
They say there heart will live on
But its so hard to move forward when they're all gone

That beautiful rose has now seemed to shrivel
Life has all gone and left it to die
I miss her so much that beautiful rose that was once there
She was my sweet sister of mine

I feel like I lost her all too soon
Didn't really know who this women really was
Maybe if more attention was paid
Maybe then her life could of been saved

To fall in love,
To fall into motion,
To put aside time,
With pure devotion,
You've done this before.
You've seen it before,
Its Deja Vu,
Do you see her,
When I look at you?
Do you wish I were her?
Do you wish I were her?
In this game you put me in,
Sometimes I play the wrong card,
Jealousy taking over me,
Why does love have to be so hard?
I'm alone,
Looking for the place that I can call home,
Cause home is where the heart is,
She'll keep you in her locket.
Baby, I love you.
I'll always be right beside you.
Could it be true?
I'm not the only one you've said that to
She had you first,
I came next,
Do you love me,
I am I second best?
I can't get you off my mind,
I can't get you off my mind.
In this game you put me in,
Sometimes I play the wrong card,
Jealousy taking over me,
Why does love have to be so hard?
I'm alone,
Looking for the place that I can call home,
Cause home is where the heart is,
She'll keep you in her locket.
I can't take it,
You're all I think about,
I want you mne,
Not for anyone else,
If something's wrong,
I will make it right,
Those bittersweet words,
Who did you dream about last night?
Jealousy,
Sweet jealousy.
Jealousy,
Sweet Jealousy.
I'm alone,
Looking for the place that I can call home,
Cause home is where the heart is,
She'll keep you in her locket.
She'll keep you in her locket.
She'll keep you in her locket.

Eli had a new gf but was happy to see Natalia;
he hadn't seen a familiar face
        except in hallucinations;
the boys were off conquering America,
                                     running through
the exotic VD to be found in California,   which was on
fire quite literally;
                          Ivan brandishing a metallic charge card
that         afforded penthouse views of the rising flames;
Eli was nowhere near his phone;
                        his mistress hanging herself in his studio
                         swinging from the lone fishnet stocking;
Natalia answered Eli's phone, lying in his bed,
drinking his liquor; Ivan was laughing, ******
out of his mind,                     watching the wall of flame
                                               tearing the world apart;
Natalia started to laugh too, she didn't know why,
Eli coming in & taking the phone from her hand;
Mne nuzhen telefon, muzhik.
       YA dolzhen pozvonit' v politsiyu. kakaya-to
                         glupaya suka s kvartiroy v moyey studii.
