STONE HEARTED
 

Why do you torment my emotional state
with words of love, then turn these words
into an artificial, siblings translate?
Loving words often whispered
make me all soft and gooey inside,
with warm fuzzy feelings that I just can't hide.
When you change the scenario
there are emotions inside of me.
Reactions, you just couldn't know.
I want to rip out your heart, throw it against the wall.
Pierce it with arrows. (forget cupids)!
Let a V-8 Chevy spin it's tyres on it.
Cut it up and stomp on it.
Leave it out in the midday sun for the ants to nibble at.
Mince it in a meat grinder, and feed it to my cat.
Toss it into a mine field or dip it in an acid vat.
Run over it with a cement truck.
Lend it to the Dallas Cowboys as a training ball
Stick it in the microwave and watch it explode.
All these things I know, will do no good
‘cos’ how do you break a heart of stone?
Hmm, a sledge hammer might help!

WIDE AWAKE

I gave my heart away for a song
where oh where did I go wrong?
Got it returned all crumpled and crushed
Manipulated and mangled  and at my feet chucked
Oh, boy, revenge I will have  and it will be sweet.
Never, no more, will this woman be weak!
History will not be repeating itself
The writings on the wall, see for yourself
It is written, BOLD in white and black
Never, no more, will this woman be slack
