Nothing to lose.

My slate's clean
I write anew
Nothing to fear
Coz I have...
Nothing to lose.

The chalks are brittle,
they always break
The words on the slate
often fade
The handwriting's crooked
It looks ugly as hell
What's written,
even I can't tell
It makes me feel
silly as a goose
But that's okay
Coz I have...
Nothing to lose.

Broken chalk
In one hand
An eraser
In the other
Waiting to use it
If you cause me any bother
Am always looking
for an excuse
Coz I have...
Nothing to lose.

You mess things up
You ring me up
I leave it up to you
And I hang up
Don't expect me to be your
devil's advocate.
Call it karma or
Call it fate.

Call me a loner,
oh so selfish
It's childish and
I'm not proud of this
But it keeps me happy
Away from the blues
Coz I have...
Nothing to lose.

The only attachments I have
Are the ones in my folder
You think I'm not serious
You think I never was
It's not your fault coz
I always laugh it off.

I'm no Romeo
Coz you never were no fuckin' Juliet
I won't break for you a single sweat
A heart of stone I rather choose
Coz I have...
Nothing to lose.

The Stories In My Head

Once I fell for a girl from my school
It was my first, one that makes you feel cool
Everything was going great until one day
Her sister said they pray in a different way.

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once I fell for a girl with a pretty face, a simple heart
She bows her head five times
Same God as mine in her thoughts and mind
She said I'm cute but not really among her kind.

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once I fell for a girl with magic in her eyes
College days were unbearable in her absence
Often travelled far just to get her essence
But the idols at her place never approved my presence.

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once I fell for a girl in my office
I knew it was risky
That's what made it frisky
Flirting in the corridors
Having meetings on the boss's orders
Her Mama said I can't keep her happy
Just gonna make her life crappy
I asked her why all this fear
Only coz for the Son of God I never shed a tear.

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once I fell for a girl, a leggy lass
On her day, she can be a real badass
Has seen half the world, luckily next to me she lives
Problem is, she can never trust a person who believes.

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once I fell for a girl in another country
Around her I could be myself, I felt free
Though older than me, that was never a bother
I still imagined being her kid's father
But she said she can't say yes to me
Her people would never accept me
Oh, she is the nicest person I have ever met
But society there too is screwed up, you bet!

So let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

Once again I have fallen for a girl from a land not my own
We chat, we talk, we spend time on the phone
She likes me too, but the problems ahead remain the same
And I am tired of failing over and over in this game
So hear me out pretty dame...

Let's just keep the customs aside
Please take a long walk by my side
Or we can go for a ride
I leave it upto you to decide.

C'mon, let's be each other's guide
I hope someday you may even be my bride
That will be an honour, my eternal glory
Don't want you to be just another page in my story.

SOLD.

What's that smell?
Oh, what the hell!
Did he puke his brains out?
A drink or two too much, no doubt!

His pocket looks heavy
From where did he get the money?
Did he gamble and won
Or did he steal some?

No. He's not the one to drink
It's his character that stinks
Casinos he has never seen
He plays much worse games to win

It doesn't matter how the dice roll
When a person has sold his soul.
