Feeling lower than a snakes belly button
feeling down and blue
woman, oh woman, I just can't get through to you
expect me to be some sort of stoic man
but I've got a heart
why, oh why do you choose to tear it all apart
I beg and I plead, I'm on my bended knee
just show a little respect to me, won't you please
If I can't be the one you're looking for
you've got to tell me
I can only be myself
And if you can't handle that, then set me free
Is this what we were thinking we would become
I remember when we had hopes and dreams
but now that's all gone
Stagnation, repetition
Im so lost
in an endless cycle
of reaching for a feeling from the past
Wondering how things would be, if we had chose a different path
wondering how things would be, if there was never you and me

Shes Gone

Sometimes I swear to god
She doesn't hear what I say
Sometimes I swear she's trying to push me away
I just wish she'd tell me what I could do
Instead she treats me like a fool
Im so confused on how to act
I guess I should just face the fact
She's moving away from me
Its just so impossible to believe
I just wish she'd tell me what went wrong
Then I wouldn't have had to write this song
Sometimes I swear she's leaving
Sometimes I swear she's already gone
Sometimes I swear she's leaving
She's gone...

Sailing To Find

Now I'm wondering again, will I ever win my friend
When will I ever win
I guess ill sail to find
To find something
But I don't believe anything
will compare to you
I don't know what I'm looking for
Maybe its peace
Maybe a fools paradise
Insecurities build
My pride begins to wilt
But I keep hanging on
Hoping to make you or me smile again
I know I need to stop crying
Seems all I do is cry anymore
But my security blanket has always been you
And me I'm an old shoe
That you won't wear anymore
You won't even try
No communication
Was I supposed to read your mind
I don't understand
I gave all that I could
If I gave anymore
There would be nothing left
Nothing left in my heart or my soul
I made you miserable
Im still trying to figure that one out
You were a wonderful actor
You always claimed to be happy to me
Im damned sure that I was the one that was miserable
You tore me to pieces
But I wouldn't, I couldn't leave
"Cause I loved you
And for some insane reason
I still do
Now it looks like I'm sailing to find
Someone who'll care
Not looking for a new mate
Just someone to listen, and to care
So I guess this is goodbye my true love
All the I really was infatuated with you
Every once in awhile
When you think of me
I hope you remember
I always tried to be good to you

Manchild

You bitch, moan, and judge
Constantly complain
You cry about about your
But never take any blame
You've got a long list
Of whomever has done you wrong
You've lost all your friends
From putting them down so long
Gigantic ego
Always thinking you're the best
Constantly talking behind peoples back
That tongue wagging
never seems to rest
(Chorus)
Manchild, manchild
Thats no way be
Manchild, Manchild
Its time that you see
Living a life of anger
You will never be free
Gaslight
You turn it around
Never take any blame
Make those close to you
Feel ashamed
For getting all caught up
in all your stupid games
(Chorus)

Jamie "Pops" VanEffen Ypsilanti, Michigan
Rock And Roll Daddy, making his hurried sounds
As he whirls around to and fro, always on the go-go-go
