Track 4 (obsession (Calvin Klein))

A mint of desire

It was all a dream
I wish, but it was all a scheme
In life it’s just another scene
Cupid shot me in my eyes
It was like the brightest gleam
Saw a beauty I had never seen
This naked baby is mean

Motto of the day: If it ain't a sin, why not?

Just torture for a man
Weary of love
Incapable of doing
What I want to be capable of
Not the whitest of doves
Could compare to this woman
Whose presence is choking me
Like the tightest of gloves

Torture is a woman, with or without them

In my mind I labor for love
A love lost without words
But she’s bound to a soul
That’s eternally hers

Track 3 ( Histories mystery)

Lost on Roanoke

I remember….

When we docked
On land as plain as the sea
You leaping to your home…
those smiles you made at me

We were making our beginning
With an abandoned frame
Weary natives gave us help
But we betrayed them still the same

Feeling happy, feeling hope
Everytime I saw you playing
Holding you was my joy
Amidst all the complaining

I wanted to be you father
But they made me a leader first
I wanted to remain hopeful
But now I know I’m cursed

Low on resources
But never low on love
they made return alone
yet I had you to think of

I didn’t mean to leave you
I thought I would be back
But a war turned out the years
I hate myself for that

I wanted to remember
Meeting you much older
I wanted to feel warm
Everyday I feel much colder
I returned and looked for you
For those smiles you made at me
But all that I beheld was a land we once called home
As plain as the sea

This is about the mystery of Roanoke. I love reading about history and this is just a small story in the midst of something bigger that was taking place. Spanish armadas, war, colonies in the new world, England, France, stuff like that. More on the way.
