Best Of Heath Allyn, Vol. 1

by Heath Allyn

/
1.
You and I have crossed oceans of time Made from the same star stuff Electrical lovers meant for each other Forever’s not long enough No words exist that do justice to this I know because I’ve tried them all Our kiss is a universe unto itself That makes this one seem so small No quantum physics or ancient mystics Can quantify this thing we’ve got No supernovas or fusion explosions Can burn as brightly or as hot When the stars are all gone We will be shining on There is more than one way to Big Bang Once we start on this flight We’ll be flying all night Come again like a boomerang This is our love manifesto A revolution of love and light Our love’s gonna survive the test so It can be a beacon into the night If love is your religion come on let’s go And show the people what is true and right Though sometimes we fall Love will conquer all Yin to my yang We’ve each got our own thang But together we are catalysts Both amplifying all our underlying things that already exist We’re exponential with all our potential We strengthen, balance, and enhance I’m always behind you And not just for the view Of you shaking it while you dance This is our love manifesto A revolution of love and light Our love’s gonna survive the test so It can be a beacon into the night If love is your religion come on let’s go And show the people what is true and right Though sometimes we fall Love will conquer all Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot Doot This is our love manifesto A revolution of love and light Our love’s gonna survive the test so It can be a beacon into the night If love is your religion come on let’s go And show the people what is true and right Though sometimes we fall Love will conquer all This is our love manifesto Whoa Whoa This is our love manifesto Whoa Whoa Doot This is our love manifesto Whoa Whoa Though sometimes we fall Love will conquer all

There's a hand around my heart, and it will not let me be Even in the land of dreams I can't escape it's reach There's an anchor on my mind that keeps me from sailing towards the beach And the only light that shines in the darkness is the hope that's on my mind And the memories of how things used to be How was I to know I'd get so tangled, entrapped in such short time Desire swallows me within its raging sea There's a hand around my heart, there's a chain around my soul Although I try so hard I can not keep control Just the power of my thoughts of you rake my mind across the coals And I can't help but wonder if my feelings are what they seem to be So many times my mind is my own misery Maybe cast a gaze into the mirror, confront my enemy But with your sight impaired by tears it's hard to see Love is pain, love is life, love is sacrifice Love can take a stone cold heart, love can melt the ice Love can burn and love can kill, love can make new life And we must find the strength to go on through the pain and strife To find the day when we'll discover the living love can bring into our lives

Marie 05:20
The stars are many in the sky But you're the one that shines on me I hold my breath and close my eyes And dream of how I want it to be You close yourself up in your box Refuse to see what you are You're a diamond among rocks Can't you see what you mean to me Oh Marie, you know you're driving me crazy Oh Marie, can't you see that I love you Marie You're strange and mystic like the night You always keep me in the dark Then you go and show me light Why don't you show me what's in your heart Are you who you seem to be Or is it just that way to me You keep me guessing constantly But you're the one who can't see Oh Marie, you know you're driving me crazy, Oh Marie, can't you see that I love you Marie The stars are many in the sky, but you're the one that shined on me. I hold my breath, I close my eyes, and I dream of what was never to be. And though I never knew your kiss, that's just the way it had to be For the longing unfulfilled led us both to separate destinies Oh Marie, you'll always be a part of me Oh Marie, I'll always love you my sweet Marie
4.
The Hunger 03:37
I can't cleanse the taste of you You can't mask the scent of me Denial is our only defense although we use it differently You said you'd never loved so deep Or felt a passion so complete But now I stand evicted from your heart, a fading picture at your feet How could you let go of me so fast Am I really so easy to get past Hurting from the hunger in my soul And bleeding from the aching, you-shaped hole I'm not over you being over me, but I'm glad that you're happy I know we both knew how this would end I wanted just to taste your lips again Just one more unintended kiss for our love to live within I never thought our bond would ever break I never thought our bliss was ever fake But now all my confusion and delusions have me wondering how I'm supposed to take You letting go of me so fast Am I really so easy to get past Hurting from the hunger in my soul And bleeding from the aching, you-shaped hole I'm not over you being over me, but I'm glad that you're happy We lived a lifetime in less than a year but our last night of love lingers at the lasalle. I'll never forget our last look through the terminal glass as you flew away into my past Every word that we said, echoes haunting my head Airports, my arms, that first kiss in my car, the hotels and farewells, bathtubs and candlelight Windows so small, leaving marks on the wall, every room, every hall, just each other all day and night Reunions, guitars, swimming pools, Texas stars, Thomas park, cherry sours, your eyes shining so bright My spot on your hip, how your neck loved my lips, an abandoned to-do list, and a future we will never see Holidays, costumes, trains and all this pain And a goodbye that will never be.
5.
Insomnia 03:40
You're my insomnia You're my broken mind, you're my guilt, you're my bliss You're everything that I want I can't get away but can't go on like this If I could just harness the moments spent drifting until my next moment with you I'd lay them out end to end and fill them all up with you too You're my unborn memories You are the fever that keeps me so hot There's no cure for this disease You're lips are the only salve for what I've got If only your mouth would say what your eyes give away then I could know without doubt But as it stands, now my hands want your skin but go without If you could read my mind, would you like what you find or do you prefer to dance masked You are the answer to all that I ever have asked You're my insomnia You're a mirage even though I see straight You can't be this beautiful This lack of sleep must be making me hallucinate Since I met you I could never make do with somebody else taking your place And so I'll just lie awake, next to this empty space
6.
Winter Sun 01:08
Bathing in the gray of another listless morning Waiting for the coldness of winter to come Let the biting winds come and challenge me to see who spreads more coldness and leaves more people numb Maybe we'll find surprising warmth in the winter sun I wanted to see what the wind and I could do together We're going to be the best of friends in coldest weather Then in the spring, it will all be gone and I'll sing my song alone
7.
Fall For Me 06:10
I just want to see some sign of warmth in your eyes but I'm afraid to look at you, can you see through my disguise I can't stand to be without you I try not to think about you I can't hold you, touch you, taste you, even tell you how I feel So many times that we're together I swear I feel A little glimpse of life together and it seems so damn real Like the day that we took refuge in that roadside cafe But it always ends the same as we both go our separate ways Are those moments that we shared still living somewhere in your mind Or is it possible that I could be so blind You better fall for me before I get over you You better hurry it will only take a lifetime or two I can only wait forever so please don't you be long And I've tried my best to not love you but I'm not that strong You better fall for me before I get over you The only pain you'll feel is from all of the smiling you'll do You've never known the love and happiness that I'd bring your way If not with me, I hope you find it someday Living with a dull gray haze on all that I do Just passing time between the moments I spend with you I've tried so hard to talk to you To say I'm so in love with you I can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe, can't think of anything but you And every time I drove you home I just couldn't take Every passing mile mocking me and the love we wouldn't make In my mind you'd ask me in We'd talk and kiss all night but then Reality comes crushing down as we say bye again As I watch you walk away and disappear in your front door My eternity without you starts once more You better fall for me before I get over you You better hurry it will only take a lifetime or two I can only wait forever so please don't you be long And I've tried my best to not love you but I'm not that strong You better fall for me before I get over you Just give me something to make me believe that this could be true You send me soaring then you bring me crashing into the ground But I always come back for the next round Maybe you already know Maybe what I hide still shows Maybe you're just avoiding this Or maybe you're pretending that it doesn't exist Is it all because you know and don't feel the same or is it possible you do and you're just afraid You better fall for me before I get over you You better hurry it will only take a lifetime or two I can only wait forever so please don't you be long And I've tried my best to not love you but I'm not that strong You better fall for me before I get over you When everybody says how good we'd be together, it's true Will this movie end in unrequited love on the rocks Or will you put your arms around me crying I'm so glad you found me And entwined like vines we'll hold each other all night 'til the sunlight Comes creeping in onto your glistening skin As the glint in your eye and the content in your sigh says that we'll never say goodbye again
8.
Tech Support 03:00
Well I know you don't need anyone's help, your own ability more than suffices But it's so much better to let somebody else check out your motherboard or plug in devices So let me take care of all your modern frustrations I'll be your boffin probing all of your workstations No viruses detected, I'll keep everything running smooth Optimizing me and you I wanna be your tech support 24/7 I'm there on site And though I mean it quite literally If it sounds like innuendo then that's alright I wanna turn you on, tune you up, tweak your settings til your satisfied Just let me be your tech support and I'll fix everything right I'd love to fill your ipod, I'll make sure that it's never out of sync I'll calibrate your entertainment center, keep your cables coiled without a kink (unless you're into that) I'll defrag you at your every whim Keep you spinning at 10,000 RPM Increase the bandwidth of our connection til it's off the chart Just like the throughput of my heart I wanna be your tech support 24/7 I'm there on site And though I mean it quite literally If it sounds like innuendo then that's alright I wanna turn you on, tune you up, tweak your settings til your satisfied Just let me be your tech support and I'll fix everything right Hardware, software, anywhere you need me there Hi-fi, wi-fi, you and I a twisted pair Just grant me access to query your source Until my fingers are tired from textual intercourse I wanna test you out, open your ports, double check your wiring and get rid of your shorts I wanna scan your disks, make sure you don't overheat, configure your peripherals, re-plug and re-seat I wanna turn you on, tune you up, tweak your settings til your satisfied Just let me be your tech support and I'll fix everything right

It’s PANTS TIME Half price If anyone asks the time of the day There’s only one thing that you should say It’s PANTS TIME Always! Everyday! TAKE ‘EM OFF!
10.
You think you're so hot I think that you're not I see you as you are a kettle-calling pot You walk into the room with expectations that you will be the heart of the celebration You're strutting like a cock Showing off your feathers but your mind is like a rock and about as clever Drowning in delusion because You think you're so big but you're nothing to me You think you're so big There's really nothing to see You think you're so big but you're not only small You're so infinitesimal you're practically nothing at all You wear that hat like it's your crown of cool And you're the King of the court, but you just look like the fool You've got the hippest ring tones on your tiny phone Its tiny silence mocking you when you're home alone So many one night stands that you speak of so proudly But one night is all anyone could stand You think you're so big but you're nothing to me You think you're so big There's really nothing to see You think you're so big but you're not only small You're so infinitesimal you're practically nothing at all
11.
My Muse 04:23
I crave your flesh The sustenance you give me I don't know which will be the first to kill me The starvation or the venom in my veins As every muscle strains to keep myself together Can't tell if I am sleeping or awake hoping to finally feel the fever break You steal my breath when I don't choose to give it You give me life, but take my will to live it Every contour of you burned into my brain My scars spell your name The density of our destiny is so great that time is slowed Nothing escapes it just implodes. You're my muse, you're a supernova You're the most euphoric and addictive drug You're in my blood, can't get enough You're my wish, you're my wounded angel You're stalking every shadow in my mind I feel you everywhere though my eyes are blind You make me sweat and shake with lustful urges Lost in you, the undercurrent surges Abandoned jetsam set adrift and drowning in the sea of my desire Yet somehow I still burn on the pyre You comfort me and heal me But still you stoke the embers in the pit And now my burning body is the only warmth I get You're my muse, you're a supernova You're the most euphoric and addictive drug You're in my blood, can't get enough You're my want, you're the voice inside me That sings to me in whispers and in screams Can't tell the difference between nightmares and dreams You're my muse, you're a supernova You're the most euphoric and addictive drug You're in my blood, can't get enough You're my void, you're so ravenous You can't fit all of my soul into your mouth And what you can't consume, you just spit out
12.
When you look back on love, do you see bridges on fire And littered with the bodies of those that you desired Immolation, devastation and scorched earth where your heart once grew Well that's not how I roll, I like to keep it optimistic To all those I've loved, you'll never just be a statistic You'll always have the little piece of my soul that I left with you Every word I ever said is completely true And you know I said I'd always be here for you You've got your laundry list of everything about me that you think sucks The way you shot our love to pieces All I can say is nice shooting, Tex I may have been a disappointment But I'm the worlds greatest ex Well you can talk to me about your new lover You can take some solace from me if you're distressed Just take whatever you want from me and bury the rest I'm glad to hear you found someone better I hope it stays exciting, shiny and new I hope he makes you feel everything you said only I could ever do You'd lost your faith in love and I brought it back You felt so full of love you thought you'd have a heart attack Unfortunately I turned out too good to be true But if there's ever anything I can help with Like heavy lifting or incredible sex Well you can always count on me because I'm the world's greatest ex So if there's any of you thinking you might want me If you're lucky maybe you could be next But let's just skip the pain the heartache and forget the pretext We'll start right at the end and just begin being vexed Fast forward to our breakup and I'll be your world's greatest ex
13.
Sunshine 02:35
Sunshine ain't got nothing on you You shine brighter than that You're more beautiful too Colors are more vibrant when you are around Your voice in my ears is the most musical sound And if there's a time when you find that you're getting the blues, just remember Sunshine’s got nothing on you So many songs written about the moon Venus and Mars and the stars They've got plenty of tunes You should have 1,000,042 songs about you Multiply that by itself and it still wouldn't do When you feel like you're lost in the dark with no clue, just remember Sunshine's got nothing on you Sunshine ain’t got nothing on you Just one look and you send me into orbit, it's true Moonlight is just right for dancing with you With the stars up above There is no one in love Like we two When we need to stay warm We’ve got each other’s arms, yes we do Sunshine’s got nothing on you
14.
Moving Day 02:27
We said everything that there is to say Made your mind up that you’re going away Slip into a stoic mask so I can hide Try to understand that it’s what you need Trying not to let you see me bleed Trying not to scream while I fall apart inside I rage against what life has done to you Though I try, I can’t fight enough for two Pulling two lives apart to see one boxed up and hauled away Packing and taping up my heartbreak on this moving day Let ‘em blame it all on me When all I really want to do is plead for you to stay And if ever you change your mind, to home and heart you hold the key And if ever you want me there, just say the word and I will be No matter where in the world you are You’ll be seeing the exact same moon and stars as me Now I wait for the day when I feel a hole in the world where you used to be Or maybe I’ll feel a presence and know it’s you lying next to me Until then, I’ll keep my phone held tight And I’ll listen for the door each night as I try to breathe
15.
See 03:47
Loving you is a ménage à trois Between you and me and the girl that's in your head Who doesn't treat you well She can go to hell There's a vision inside my mind Of you and me and dog that's gone half blind Nestled at our feet As we harmonize I know I'm far from perfect But I'm perfect for you Despite what the girl might tell you And even though our dog's half-blind She can still see how I really love you And how you love me Why can't you see We beat the odds and went through hell But on our faces no one can tell Or see the scars inside Or the things we hide Now we grope in the darkness Trying to find a light like the one that's in your eyes That the girl denies She thrives in the shadows Now she's made a perfect storm Of truth and lies to keep her warm and safe In her toxic concoction Whispering into your ear That there's so much to doubt and fear because She wants your company I hope you'll see I have been a lighthouse through the fog to guide you home And you have given me more love than I have ever known One thing about falling in love that they never tell Is falling has a bottom and when you hit, it hurts like hell These are times that try our souls and make or break our bonds You choose to stay together and you help each other on Those who stay the course find out it's worth it in the end With a love that's only stronger through the power of your mend The mind is subject to so many forces from outside But the heart will always tell the truth You'll find it has never lied And my heart knows that we should be together for all time I can only hope before she buries me That you will see
16.
It's been too long since I have seen your face Like every moment I don't share your space I'm pretty sure that there's an inch I missed When trying to make sure that every inch was kissed We shared a past but sailed on separate seas Through scorching heat and biting bone-deep freeze The weight of time can feel so hard to bear Unless you know you're not alone and it's a weight that you can share Let's let our love lift up the weight of the world And just get lost inside a kiss Pull up the covers so the weight of the world Won't find us under there, without a single care, just bliss So often the languages we're forced to speak Are so insufficient, so cold, so weak But just one look into your eyes can say More than a million words with all their meanings locked away Minds and hearts that run so strong and deep Feel every heartbeat and each ghost we keep The distance measured between two souls Can be too small to see, and at the same time pole to pole Let's let our love lift up the weight of the world And just get lost inside a kiss Pull up the covers so the weight of the world Won't find us under there, without a single care, just bliss And time just goes on and on each day Making every year heavier I never knew how much memories would weigh We'll take these stones and we'll make them float Let's let our love lift up the weight of the world And just get lost inside a kiss Pull up the covers so the weight of the world Won't find us under there, without a single care, just bliss
17.
Triage 03:31
Here lies our love splayed out on the table Only showing the faintest signs of life Each of us with our own share of scars and unable to steady the hand with the knife Stumbling through the blackest of darkness Trying to find each other, lost in the war Traces of voices dance in the static Losing the signal in the din and the roar So many bumps on the ride that our bones are all shaken In need of a rest from the hum of the road No GPS to tell us which exits we should have taken No movers to help with the load The journey's rough, the path is uncertain And our final destination unknown The show's not over until the final curtain Together we can write an ending of our own The sun goes down, the dark and cold settle in as far as we can see every night But if you wait 'round long enough, on the horizon you see the first signs of light I know that with or without you a new day will dawn, my life will go on But just like everything, tomorrow would be so much better with you there Send my song to the sky, hoping that it's a beacon I only wish you could see what we could be I know the seemingly endless walk has us weary And our eyes are too tired to see I love this world that we've built together The architecture that nobody else understands I need to reach you to help me save it Nothing but static...
18.
Your kisses are sweet as honey but I've never been much on sweets You say you don't want my money but you're spending so much I can't afford to eat You tell me that I don't listen and there's something wrong with my ears I'm so miserable without you It's just like having you here
19.
Waiting for Ms. Elusive on the corner of past and time Waiting for Ms. Elusive to bring me back into my prime Waiting for Ms. Elusive, I know she comes here for the view Waiting for Ms. Elusive so I can be elusive too Rapt within her conversation, overflowing with elation Then she's gone, you're on your own How you miss the effervescence that you feel when in her presence Now you know the meaning of alone Waiting for Ms. Elusive, her voice is music to my ears Waiting for Ms. Elusive to take me far away from here Waiting for Ms. Elusive to say the words she can not say Waiting for Ms. Elusive to be effusive any way In her eyes you can see another world But you know there's no way to travel there Once you've seen it you'll never be the same The one you live in just can't compare Waiting for Ms. Elusive, though I know that she can't come Waiting for Ms. Elusive, to warm my heart, so cold and numb Waiting for Ms. Elusive, she has to leave you far behind Waiting for Ms. Elusive, forever living in my mind Bending laws of time and space, the world stops when I see her face Her name sits precariously on your lips How you wish that you could sleep, to dream the secrets that you keep She's with you on every imaginary trip
20.
Tom Cruisin' 02:33
Like The Last Samurai, I’ve conquered Hollywood It’s time to try some Risky Business in a brand new ‘hood I’m a Legend in the bedroom, got All The Right Moves But I’ll give you Endless Love with my sexy slow grooves I’ll take you home and show you why they call me The Firm And then I’ll give you eargasms with my lyrical terms With your Eyes Wide Shut I’ll pollinate your Magnolia Then ejaculate some rhymes like I previously told ya Gonna be the Top Gun of the hip-hop scene They’ll be the Color of Money with their envy so green You other rappers will be Losin’ It or just plain losin’ As you fade into Oblivion while I’m Tom Cruisin Cruisin, Tom Cruisin I’ve got more star power than the brightest sun Cruisin, Tom Cruisin Yeah, I jumped on a couch. You should try it, it’s fun. I need A Few Good Men to roll with my posse Gonna dance til the Edge of Tomorrow like Bob Fosse Like Jerry Macguire, I’m gonna show you the money While I drink my Cocktail dancing with some Playboy bunnies I see The Outsiders trying to get in the club But that’s a Mission: Impossible you Collateral scrubs Because I’m Far and Away such a superlative creature That you couldn’t reach me if your name was Jack Reacher Crank up Rock of Ages til the speakers blow asunder I’ll mashup my own movies, call it Days of Tropic Thunder My smile is more powerful than nuclear fusion “There is no substitute” for Tom Cruisin Cruisin, Tom Cruisin Like a Valkyrie I’ll lead the chosen to Valhalla Cruisin, Tom Cruisin Your theme song will be Taps if you go against this baller Well there’s not enough of me to go around for you all But there is Mission: Impossible 2, 3 and Ghost Protocol Don’t go mistaking these Lions for Lambs Or you’ll feel the full fury of my phat fresh jams Take Suge and Morris, mix Knight and Day Like Death Row I’m hard core, like The Time I’m funkay In this War of the Worlds all you haters are out of luck An Interview With The Vampire must have taught you how to suck Born on the Fourth of July under a Vanilla Sky I’m an American institution and my name will never die Like Minority Report look at the future that you’re choosing Even Rain Man can see “The future’s Tom Cruisin. Definitely. Definitely Tom Cruisin. Yeah.”
