As long as I can
The question is in me, it is so strong
Can this, my good life last, if so, how long?
What is my motivation to go on?
Have I become
A selfish man?
So I sat down and did something
Now a portion of my money goes
Towards free education and development for those in need
And it has lifted a burden from my heart
For now when I'm in pain, feel sorrow start
I can remember that somewhere, some day this month
Someone can learn because I gave this money to this cause
Even if it's just a day, an hour
This knowledge has...

With the code and the notes
Sometimes I ask
What's the point, what's the reason?
And what I answer depends on the season
In winter it's warmth, and in summer it's joy
But there is this thing that I keep coming back to
My whole life this one thing was true
With the code and the notes
With the songs and the rhymes
With machines I make run
And the bell that chimes
I've known all along that my soul inclines
To create what's of use
To create what's of beauty
Until my sun sets that's my song and my story
I feel like I was given those gifts for a...

My heavy heart
I want it to be light again
My heavy heart is all in vain
It brought me nothing but this pain
That for a while made me insane
The fear of missing this and that
Is running like a crazy rat
Among the corners of my heart
My heavy heart, my heavy heart
The fears, the fears that are not true
"Someone will come, take it away
What if I stumble, if I stray?"
My mind just waits for any cue
To race away with fear and sorrow
To spend time thinking of tomorrow
Of years to come, of what will be
And it's never...
My heavy heart is all in vain
It brought me nothing but this pain
That for a while made me insane
The fear of missing this and that
Is running like a crazy rat
Among the corners of my heart
My heavy heart, my heavy heart

"Someone will come, take it away
What if I stumble, if I stray?"
My mind just waits for any cue
To race away with fear and sorrow
To spend time thinking of tomorrow
Of years to come, of what will be
And it's never...

This Symphony
I close my eyes and breathe
The voice tells me to let it all go now
I made it here, I made it this far
A cause for celebration
Although each moment seems so certain
It is really an unknown quantity for all of us
So be here, rest a while
For this is not promised
That you can breathe
Minutes pass in breathing
And then the first note chimes
The symphony begins
A pinprick of light begins to form in my chest
It begins to fill my body
I want to rest here forever
The grandure of all the things I can have ...

The flame of the skies (A Wheel of time tribute)
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane she rides...
We're gathered here to make our last stand
We're gathered here to bring the end
The end of an age
The threads are woven
One final command
And the story is told
Lights flashing, ground burning, the fight has begun
Of fires from the skies dies the shadow spawn
The power descends, and when the battle ends
The light stands alone
In their hearts burns the flame
Upon the plane, the shadow-filled plane
Rides the hope of the light
Rides Tar Valon's flame
...

Truth and Beauty
Great mysteries breath through me
The sounds are so enticing, I am slicing
It all apart, back and forth with my own mind
In an eternal quest to give truth to the blind
Hear my voice echo over seas and valleys
To cast the spell, to unleash hell
Upon those who would deny my message
Do you hear me? You must, it is your sole purpose and lust!
Lead by the strings, in your heart it sings
And the beauty of the supposed deep short-circuits the pathways
That would normally tell on me
Be silent neural pathways as I speak to free!

He who gets to play last
Beware of the fairy, she promises much:
"The battle is won when you take and you take"
But sometimes it is more a subtle touch
That winners choose and the fools forsake
The armies stood facing each other
Their eyes are filled with dread
For only one waits victory, for the other the cry
The king is dead!
And so begins the battle
The flanks and ranks advance
One army begins to slaughter many
The other makes it a dance
For greed is not a master
For greed is a blind fool
As one army goes down
It also gets...

In the moment
I keep coming back to it one more time
It is my rhythm, it is my rhyme
When I rose and I fell, I sank and I swam
When I breathed, breathed some more and then breathed again
That is when the joy I feel now began
I made a decision and refused to drown
I breathed in the joy of simple existance
And fear has laid down its crown
It is my rhythm, it is my rhyme
When I rose and I fell, I sank and I swam
When I breathed, breathed some more and then breathed again
That is when the joy I feel now began
I made a decision and refused to drown
I breathed in the joy of simple existance
And fear has laid down its crown

Inside the bag
A bag of stone I carry around
Inside are riches and terrors abound
The inside is what I crave to see
The inside of the bag is me
Why is it of stone? A fair question you ask
Because it is so hard to connect
With what lies underneath the first thought and impulse
It takes great courage to really reflect
Often I only saw through the cracks
When something made noise and the outside shattered
I could get a glimpse of what really mattered
In retracing the steps I took on wrong tracks
I urge you do not go this way may...

Eternity
Writing these notes
Hearing these sounds
Writing these lyrics
This poetry
These words
I wonder
What will come of it?
What will become of me?
In all my time
Will it be
A rhyme
Or just meaningless words?
Will they tell my story?
Most likely not
I will vanish unseen
I will be forgot
Generations to come not remember my name
And in due time dies the flame
And only ashes remain
And still I hold hope
In my heart, it's my song
Of the words everlasting
Of the one...

Born
Every day
Begins a new way
The way of tomorrow still far
The way of the now is our star
A small journey awaits
Will it rain on the fields?
Will sadness, adversity
Sow seeds of new strength?
Or will the sun shine to see
A man who is free?
Each morning, from sleep torn
A new path opens, a fragment of road
And the question is answered
I can carry the load!
And nightfall will see me safe and content
If with this mindset I live
That every day, from sleep torn
We are
Born
Begins a new way
The way of tomorrow still far
The way of the now is our star
A small journey awaits
Will it rain on the fields?
Will sadness, adversity
Sow seeds of new strength?
Or will the sun shine to see
A man who is free?
Each morning, from sleep torn
A new path opens, a fragment of road
And the question is answered
I can carry the load!
And nightfall will see me safe and content
If with this mindset I live
That every day, from sleep torn
We are
Born

Welcome Home
Through a golden door
I run
I slam
It shut
Behind me
Am I free?
Things to do require my attention
Free time wants to be lived with all its might
I want it all
I can not fail to see it all
Give me every channel
Every picture, every sound and every thought
Then I will be happy
Input input input what I sought
The golden door
Oh god its light is blinding
The toys, the charm
All there is to adore
But I loose it
And I find myself
On a stranded shore
Of frantically...
I run
I slam
It shut
Behind me
Am I free?
Things to do require my attention
Free time wants to be lived with all its might
I want it all
I can not fail to see it all
Give me every channel
Every picture, every sound and every thought
Then I will be happy
Input input input what I sought
The golden door
Oh god its light is blinding
The toys, the charm
All there is to adore
But I loose it
And I find myself
On a stranded shore
Of frantically...
