WHEN YOU'RE GONE
If you don't want to see me now
I'd understand but please allow
Me to say a few words to you
Just think of all that we've been through
The past is gone let's start anew
{struck: Could we move on some how some way} - (8) shitcan lyric

We could...
Get a new way of life and
Find a new way of living
Get a new way of feeling
Maybe learn to forgive
'Cause when you're gone
I'm writing down the reason for this wrong
You didn't know I wrote you this song
Now all I want for you to sing along - sing along
Hit the right key...
My littered mind's filled with debris
From the insults you hurled at me
{struck: You're not} impressed with what you see
I've been so sad so very long
Let's go back to where we went wrong
Let's start again ; erase our history
-
{struck: Give me a reason now to...}
{struck: Change}
(7) or {struck: [?]} give me a reason now
(7) {struck: [?]} To walk away forever
(7) TRY TO MAKE It through somehow
(6) Once OUR Ties {struck: [?]} ARE severed
But {struck: 'Cause} when you're gone
I'll be the only one to right this wrong
Bet you didn't know I wrote you this song
Now all I want for you to sing along...sing along
Hit the right key

---

You'd be the only one - that's you for me
You'd be the reason I would want to be...
A better man and then we'd see...we'd see
Ahhhh...
When you're gone
I lie in bed
Can't face the dawn
Black or red
{struck: Can't tell} which square {struck: I'm on} my {struck: [?]} on?
You're the queen
I'm just a pawn
I am the only one to right this wrong
Bet you didn't know I wrote you a song
Now all I want from you is just sing along
Hit the right key
You'd be the only one - that's you for me
You'd be the reason I would want to be...

The words on this page
CHANGING

I feel that I'm dying deep inside sometimes,
But it's only human AND SO AM I
My ritualistic start to every day,
Just isn't enough to get me through the night.

But I've gotta remind myself,
That prayers don't go unanswered.
If I could only prepare myself,
And give it time and effort...

I'd lay awake at night,
And span the starlit sky.
I feed my restless mind,
With fairytales and lies.
The only thing that I control,
Are THESE thoughts of mine.
'Cause my personality,
Is changing, changing all the time.

When I feel I need to learn a different trade,
I tell myself I think too much.
When I see my memory begin to fade,
I know that it's far too gone to touch.

But I know it's not too late,
To start to live again.

And if I could do just that,
I lose and never win.

I'd lay awake at night,
And span the starlit sky.
I'd feed my restless mind,
With fairytales and lies.
The only thing that I control,
Are thoughts of mine.
'Cause my personality,
Is changing, changing all the time.

June 2, 1873
I am the poet and traveller of 1883
Leaving my homeland across the Deep
waters of the great Pacific Sea
All the way from Peking
Towards the mountains filled with gold
It's all there for the taking
Tells the tales that I've been told
The sea has calmed enough to sail
Captain find us San Francisco
Towards the mountains filled with gold.

June 2, 1877
The pig has been sold as my hands bleed
The wind now blows cold in my disbelief
Seeking success yet still waiting to succeed
Dreams unfufilled and America the thief
Set foot upon the shore,
Knowing not what was instore
Sadness, Discrimination
Found in my new Nation
Feeling so alone and still I am poor
Still paying my way
But I might regret it some day

June 2 1882

June 2, 1878
The tracks are being laid
And I'm barely getting paid
Outcasted and shunned by my countrymen
Attempt to cut my hair, barely one a gentlemen
So much steal has been made
That something has been stolen
The sinking sunset over the Pacific fades
The summer sun shines so golden
The only gold I see

June 2, 1879
My people and I continue to pursue the
American Dream
So far unseen yet we wait in hope
To make wise our voyage by boat
In seeking escape from a crumbling ruin
As the Chinese Empire the shadows doom
We stay to ourselves silent to the whiteman's sound
Living in safety in our China towns
Keep alive the memories of our kin
Waiting for gold while being served Tin
Shackled to a railroad hammering the ground
Working in sadness, cold irons bound
Living in exile in our chinaman towns

---
June 2, 1880
What have I to live for with no family of my own
Except for desolation, silently sad and alone
Dreaming of my ancestors happy to stay home
The life of a chinese
a life of unease
Misunderstood enemies of American
by simply seeking the same as them
A day's pay for a day's labor
Life in a new land, a life to savor
Treated like a man, treat us like men

June 2, 1881
Very few possession I call my own
As I move every few months as
the tracks have grown
Despised and hated by Caucasian white
who stir up trouble late at night
Look at us mean for just wanting their way
Cursed at and spat upon for stealing their pay
Remember Treated worse than Indian
Tis the white man's way
Sold the pigs, 'Tis the white man's way
