The Diary of Mr. Cam DeBarcho

Love Shaped Hole

2010-06-24T08:15:00.000-04:00

Can you imagine a day
If you feel deaf to what I had to say

There'd be darkened skies
Our rivers would run dry
Everything would go awry
But we wouldn't know why

We collided, united and joined without seam

Now imagine how our separate lives would lead
If there never was a you and me

We would come to find
A love shaped hole inside
Lost and paralyzed
But we wouldn't know why

We are fire, desire and passion unleashed

Now that I've found you and feel so complete
I'll always laugh in the face of defeat
Because I found protection
When you walked right out of my dreams

Can you fathom what we'd have to face on our own
If I never caught sight of the beacon you shone

We'd lead tortured lives
Love doomed throughout time
Fighting to survive
But we wouldn't know why

Like a love song we rhyme, harmonize in refrain

Now that I've found you I feel so complete

You are the cure for my every disease

I found protection

When you walked straight out of my dreams

Sometimes you feel trapped

Then an accident happens

That lights the way

Just wish there was someone to thank

Now that I've found you and feel so complete

I'll always laugh in the face of defeat

Because I found perfection

When you walked right out of my dreams

Now that I've found you I feel so complete

You've been the cure for my every disease

I found protection

When you walked straight out of my dreams

Follow

2010-04-01T17:07:00.000-04:00

I want to be alive like you
I want to survive like you
I want to be care free
Like every thing that you do

I want to love like you
I want to see the world like you
Then everyone will follow me
Just like I'm following you

Prison Skin

2010-03-13T15:44:00.000-05:00

Where does this skin begin to end?
Is this mask a stranger or a friend?
In my self imprisonment
For protection I have sent
To cover it up and hide away

So then the shield becomes the sword
And to the victim goes all of the spoils
If I start to lose control
Will the parts become the whole
Will it all collapse and fall away

And so the battle it unfolds
Between the mind, the body and the soul
What is left when all is still
Is the strongest of my wills
And the question of what's real

Where does this skin begin to end?

Is this mask a stranger or a friend?

In my self imprisonment

For protection I have sent

To cover it up and hide away

Found Protection

2010-01-04T14:05:00.000-05:00

Now that I've found you
I feel so complete
I'll always laugh
In the face of defeat
I found protection
When you walked right out of my dreams

Now that I've found you
I feel so complete
You've been the cure
For my every disease
I found protection
When you walked right out of my dreams

Voodoo Crimes

2009-12-20T14:12:00.000-05:00

I'm running out of time
This universe is mine
But your voodoo is
Taking control inside

Your hoodoo voodoo shines
And all my love goes blind
I seek redemption for
All of your voodoo crimes

Love To Me

2009-11-13T16:50:00.001-05:00

Love is a partner
When you're lonesome
And you need comforting
Love is a stranger to me

Love is an enchantment
When you're spell bound
By the magic you seek
Love is an illusion to me

Love is an oasis
When you're thirsty
In the dry desert heat
Love is a mirage to me

Love is a fire
When you shiver
Through the cold winter nights
Love is a third degree burn to me

Love is affliction
Love is addiction
Love to me

Love is a compass
When you've wandered
Away from your path
Love has no direction for me

Love it is shelter
From the storm
And the turbulent winds
Love is a dark cloud over me

Love is a partner

When you're lonesome

And you need comforting

Love is a stranger to me

Love is a stranger

Love is a danger

Love to me

Questions Of

2009-11-02T13:59:00.000-05:00

Questions where to start
Questions of the heart
When all the love's in vain
A feeling so strained

Questions of control
Questions of the soul
Watching all this change
Still feeling the same

Heaven's Cent

2009-10-18T20:45:00.003-04:00

I work my hands down to the bone

For a Boss I'll never know

Until He takes my tired hands

To His Kingdom Come

Every Thursday I get paid

For my job not for my faith

The CEO of life

Bounces all my checks

I'm seeing others get their dues

So I know Your word is truth

I've been patient for my time, my miles and what's been coming to me

I'm only asking for one cent

A shiny Heaven's cent

So won't You send her down to me

As I'm about to give my two weeks

I find a penny with angelic sheen

In the Garden of Eden

She's Heaven's finest rose

I've worn the skin off of my knees

Giving thanks for the mercy

My voice has gone dry

From this praying song

Now You've given me my dues

So I know Your word is truth

I'd been patient for my time, my miles and what's been given to me

I only asked You for one cent

A shiny Heaven's cent

So You sent her down to me

It's been so long

She's Heaven's Cent to me

She's Heaven's Cent

Heaven's Cent

She's Heaven's Cent sent down to me

Her Name

2009-10-17T11:26:00.001-04:00

Her name belongs in the words of a song
I've tried to write for so damn long
Here I sit again with my guitar and pen
I can't find the words that she deserves

I try to trace the stunning features of her face
With words her beauty can embrace
There's no couplet, verse or stanza that could work
I can't find a rhyme for her design

I sing her name
There's no worthy word that rhymes
No beat to keep her time
I sing her name
The melody takes me away

I make a melody exciting new and true
As how i feel when I see you
There's not chord progression to reflect the obsession
That mind has developed around you

I sing her name

There's no worthy word that rhymes

No beat to keep her time

I sing her name

The melody takes me away

If I could only explain

What I've been trying to say

I'd gather up the words in a song with her name

I would sing it to she

Who leaves my voice without speech

And call out her name

I sing her name

There's no worthy word that rhymes

No beat to keep her time

I sing her name

The melody takes me away

Forsaken

2009-10-16T23:52:00.002-04:00

Every time he lies awake

He sings this lullaby

In hopes that sleep will come to him

And he will meet her eye

The time weighs heavy on his eyes

He drifts into a sleep

She comes to him within a dream

And asks what he does see

Everyone is spoken for

All the hearts are won

Of all that have forsaken me

I hope that you're the one

The morning sun wakes him gently

He answers to the day

He sees the face from slumber's place

And asks what she does say

Everyone is spoken for

All the hearts are won

Of all that have forsaken me

I hope that you're the one

Everyone is spoken for

All the hearts are won

Of all that have forsaken me

I know that you're the one

Who is Mr. Cam DeBarcho?

2009-10-15T14:07:00.004-04:00

He is yesterday
He is the old way

He is our mentor
He is our muse

He is what makes us
He is our trust

He is our mistakes
He is what we take

He is our history
He is belief

Pages turn as he does learn
A scribe of time and our concern

The man inside the diary
That man was always me
