Lose it to the music. All I know is I am more Once again on implore What else must I lore? Modern Society so hard to keep in sobriety Always been the same Learn to play the game Devils must be tamed Why can’t I see? Will I ever see? Listen to the music. Lose it to the music. Reality isn’t as good but you tell me it should But what can I do I don’t have a clue Looking for something new When I’m feeling lonely, all I know is only Always there is music Just learn how to use it You’ll never abuse it I’ve been trying to see what is deeply in me Was always on my knees Done with all the plea Why can’t I see? Will I ever see? Listen to the music. Lose it to the music. Music sets you free. ©Ramon Castillo Wild Thoughts Give me an answer baby I can’t wait anymore.

Don’t leave me hanging for good ©Ramon Castillo World of Love All I wanted was a world of love Where I would walk around and share smiles A place where we are all one but all I found was guiles But this place don’t exist. Why do I persist. I Persist. This place could be so wonderful I know And it hurts to know that we get stuck in the flow But we have come a long way Waiting for the day when it will all change Don’t want to hide my love to seem normal in this life.

(change) So I walked for miles to find some connection Don’t understand people and am losing affection Walked alone day dreamed my way home This place has to exist I insist. I insist. Don’t want to hide my love to seem normal in this life. (life) Will it ever change? (change) I thought love was so powerful Why isn’t it wonderful People flaunting at their neighbors Exhausted spirits giving it to labor Where is the world of love? Don’t tell me it’s a dream. I know it exists, coming slowly in the fading mist. Mist. Don’t want to hide my love to seem normal in this life. (life) Will it ever change? (change) Don’t want to hide my love to seem normal in this life. (life) Will it ever change? (change) Will it ever change. (change). ©Ramon Castillo What Can I do? Why do I have to beg for you love? Aren’t we supposed to be one? Why are we so apart? I give you everything and all I get is a broken heart. Once I thought your love was free but now I have to disagree. What can I do when I really want you? Oh what can I do when I really want you Will I ever rid of these blues. Been thinking about changing location. A place far away from your temptation. Don’t want a love that has me wrapped in questions. Where pleading isn’t necessary for some connection. What can I do when I really want you? Oh what can I do when I really want you (2x) I got stronger from this experience. So many lies so little love had me delirious. My feelings for you were truly pure Though now I leave in search of cure With you I just wasn’t secure What can I do when I really want you? Oh what can I do when I really want you Didn’t want to do this alone But it’s the way it has to go Now that we are not together Things are going to be much better Never again will I be held in your tether. What can I do when I really want you? Oh what can I do when I really want you (2x) ©Ramon Castillo Up to Here Looking at the way things are going Guess I better pack my things up and run Heading down the road that leads to the fun Don’t want to miss the bus down the boulevard You’re gonna be here waiting I’m up to here on begging. You’re not gonna change. Oh. You’re not gonna change. Oh. I’ll keep on going til’ the sun stops on glowing Life is too short to be hesitating Gave you all the time and love that I had No wonder it got so hard to detach You’re gonna be here waiting I’m up to here on begging. You’re not gonna change. Oh. You’re not gonna change. Oh. Took me a while to learn to let go Ready to give this journey a repaint Well I won’t have you holding me in restraint Now I’m on my way to the dreams that await You’re gonna be here waiting I’m up to here on begging. You’re not gonna change. Oh. You’re not gonna change. Oh. You’re gonna be here waiting I’m up to here on begging. You’re not gonna change. Oh. You’re not gonna change. Oh. ©Ramon Castillo Why Don’t You Love Me? I wonder if you will ever love me When I try hard to make your dream And then I cry an ongoing stream Yet still I know we are meant to be Why don’t you love me? I can’t believe I fell for you After all the things you’ve put me through After all you had me do Left me here confused and blue I still want you yes it’s true Longing for when you will want me too Why don’t you love me? Why don’t you love me? Please open up your heart to me It’s how the leaves will blossom from the trees Without you this game becomes a losing streak Please won’t you stay here with me You hold the key to set me free You’re my perfect cup of tea We go together like strawberries and cream My love is for infinity So don’t make me wait an eternity Why don’t you love me? ©Ramon Castillo Strum on my Guitar Got to learn the guitar to play your songs.

I think the devil got me caged. Please help me, Please help me the Devil got me caged He approached me in such a way Now holds me hostage by his sway I want to leave but I know I’ll have to stay He’s gotten into my head and prevents me from escape. Holds me back from any change. He wants my life to be the same. Please help me, Please help me the Devil got me caged (2x) He’s keeping me in doubt wondering what It’s all about He takes over me and doesn’t let me see But he’s words take me in so heavily Before to me sounded so heavenly Got trapped by his disguise Now I live by his advice Please help me, Please help me the Devil got me caged (2x) I have no clue on what to do All I know is I don’t want to hear his stories He’s scary fairy assumptions are getting boring Why doesn’t he let me go I no longer want to follow his flow I miss the days when I had faith. Before the thunder and rain. When I enjoyed playing the game. There’s got to be a God somewhere inside Wanting me to see the light. I try and I try but always the devil comes I cry and cry to be on the other side Please help me, Please help me the Devil got me caged (2x) ©Ramon Castillo Devil Got me Caged Here I am trying to make sense out of my life Sitting on my bedroom floor next to my pipe What else has changed?
