Haunted Dreams
Once upon a time I called you mine
Just when you saved me
You put a dagger through my heart
Its hard to sleep
Every time I do I see you
Every time I close my eyes
I have to fight back tears
Drowning in emotions inside
Putting on my big girl pants
I want to run and hide
But I try my best to put on a happy face
Its hard to sleep
Every time I do I see you
Every time I close my eyes
I have to fight back tears
Trying to move on
Unknowingly however holding on
Wishing I could fill my aching heart
Trying to...
Just when you saved me
You put a dagger through my heart
Its hard to sleep
Every time I do I see you
Every time I close my eyes
I have to fight back tears
Drowning in emotions inside
Putting on my big girl pants
I want to run and hide
But I try my best to put on a happy face
Its hard to sleep
Every time I do I see you
Every time I close my eyes
I have to fight back tears
Trying to move on
Unknowingly however holding on
Wishing I could fill my aching heart
Trying to...

Lone Soul
A lone soul
Gasp at your mis-existence
Jet black mirrors
And empty halls.
Steady fires burn
From past wounds
Ever present scars
Just a reminder now
Smile
You've seen the dark
Felt its embrace
Like the snakes kiss
Let it run through your veins
Talk with ghosts you haunt
Fear the skeletons you hide
Misfortune has graced you
Blessed may you be
Cant you see it?
Such a brilliant sparkle to your eyes
Cast a shallow existence
Over good-men's souls
Keep your heart close
Keep your enemies...
Gasp at your mis-existence
Jet black mirrors
And empty halls.
Steady fires burn
From past wounds
Ever present scars
Just a reminder now
Smile
You've seen the dark
Felt its embrace
Like the snakes kiss
Let it run through your veins
Talk with ghosts you haunt
Fear the skeletons you hide
Misfortune has graced you
Blessed may you be
Cant you see it?
Such a brilliant sparkle to your eyes
Cast a shallow existence
Over good-men's souls
Keep your heart close
Keep your enemies...

My New Hope
Hope is something I know quite well.
However different in years past.
Used to hope to go to the Olympics.
However now I just hope for less pain.
I hope for a cure to end suffering for not just me but others with this disease.
I dread none of you go through RSD.
Pain so bad most commit suicide.
Others experiment and wait for a cure.
Me I try to keep my mind busy.
I hope for the good day fill of less pain.
Hope for happy moments.
I hope one day to walk down the aisle.
One day I hope to get back in the saddle.
But my biggest hope...
However different in years past.

One day I hope to get back in the saddle.

Mirror
I never saw this coming.
But others took a bet.
On how long it would take.
You to show your true colors.
Now that I've seen them.
I despise what I see.
You are the reflection, the one looking back at me.
But others took a bet.
On how long it would take.
You to show your true colors.
Now that I've seen them.
I despise what I see.
You are the reflection, the one looking back at me.

Foxes
Being hunted.
Running fast.
Chased by huntsmen atop a war horse.
Sounds of bellowing hounds.
Thundering hooves run past.
Dart away.
Hope and pray.
That scent wont lead,
the huntsmen's hounds this way.
Just one mistake.
Is all it would take.
For the hound to out smart the fox.
How clever could the huntsmen be.
Surly the foxes are hidden safe in their dens.
Safe from field hunters pounding hooves.
From clenched jaws of the huntsmen's hounds.
Safe in sound for today.
For this fox has out smarted the hounds yet again.
To be...

Sweet And Sour
Sweet and sour with a little in between.
Im not sure, I quite know what you mean.
I don't know where this is going.
But I know that I'll be showing....
Attitude, a different mood, trying to keep you at a distance.
Second guess, don't look yet, lets pretend this never happened.
This never happened.
Cant keep my mind straight.
Is this fate, I cant relate, I cant breathe at all. Not one breath.
Sweet and sour with a little in between
Im not sure, I quite know what you mean.
I don't know where this is going.
But I know I'll still be...
Im not sure, I quite know what you mean.
I don't know where this is going.
But I know that I'll be showing....

White Butterfly
I can feel you here with me.
Your not just in my memory.
But when I see one pass me by.
I feel overwhelmed and start to cry.
You always told me when you died.
That you would follow me as a white butterfly.
It comforts and aches my heart.
When I spy a white butterfly fluttering behind me.
Your not just in my memory.
But when I see one pass me by.
I feel overwhelmed and start to cry.
You always told me when you died.
That you would follow me as a white butterfly.
It comforts and aches my heart.
When I spy a white butterfly fluttering behind me.

Nightfall
The darkness came swooping in all at once,
as if it had been there for years.
Blanketing the city whose light argued with the stars.
Hiding in the clouds the moons pale cool light danced within the country side.
Haunting it with angry winds that echoed against the mountains,
sounding like a cannon exploding expelling shrapnel against the trees.
Cascading in the distance dawn breaks first light.
As if all at once the world turns to warm and bright.
as if it had been there for years.
Blanketing the city whose light argued with the stars.
Hiding in the clouds the moons pale cool light danced within the country side.
Haunting it with angry winds that echoed against the mountains,
sounding like a cannon exploding expelling shrapnel against the trees.
Cascading in the distance dawn breaks first light.
As if all at once the world turns to warm and bright.

Into Memories
Fade away into memories.
Let it take your mind to another place and time.
Aint it funny how music can take you to another place. Be face to face with some one you hate or at your favorite place.
Anger can turn into happiness.
Sadness into love.
Just fade away into memories.
With one note you can go back to when you were three, in the harmony you can hear you mothers heart beat.
And then somewhere in the melody your six and going off to school where there were so many rules. Within the chords you remember learning to drive in that old ford. Then the chorus came...
Let it take your mind to another place and time.

Choices
Hollow voices
Subtle choices
You in
Or out
Don't you want some medicine?
Swallow, Snort, Inhale, Inject
Are you ready?
Pick your poison
Let it travel through your veins
Now were flying without trying
Light headed
Room is spinning
Sinking down
Slumping over
Second thoughts
A little to late
Now I'm the one that's discovered my fate.
Just an addict
Isn't it tragic
How one choice can change it all.

Going in Circles & Getting No Where Fast
What am I doing?
Where did I go wrong?
Im reaching out for help
But I can't hold on
Feeling torn
Insides shattered
Even my brain tells me
I never mattered
Scatter my thoughts
Organize my feelings
Inner voices
Making choices
Throw these feelings away
There's no need for them to
Come back and play
Don't you realize
We've been here before
We never quite got out the door
Ignore my thoughts
Ignore my mind
Take those thoughts
& leave them behind
Worries and burdens
Have been here...
Where did I go wrong?
Im reaching out for help
But I can't hold on
Feeling torn
Insides shattered
Even my brain tells me
I never mattered
Scatter my thoughts
Organize my feelings
Inner voices
Making choices
Throw these feelings away
There's no need for them to
Come back and play
Don't you realize
We've been here before
We never quite got out the door
Ignore my thoughts
Ignore my mind
Take those thoughts
& leave them behind
Worries and burdens
Have been here...

Catholics, Cults, & Things People Don't Understand About Faith
Ashes to ashes
Dusk to dusk
Make sure you cross yourself
Before you get up
Sniff the incense
Yeah take a deep breath
Make sure you inhale
Before you exhale
Chorus
Breathing in, breathing out
Heart racing, feet pacing
Stand up, kneel, and cross yourself again
Stand up, Kneel, and cross yourself again
Feeling light headed
So take a swig
Maybe some wine will help
Clear your mind
Drink from this cup
& have everlasting life
YEAH right
Drink and die then
Fill it back up
You wont live forever...
Dusk to dusk
Make sure you cross yourself
Before you get up
Sniff the incense
Yeah take a deep breath
Make sure you inhale
Before you exhale
Chorus
Breathing in, breathing out
Heart racing, feet pacing
Stand up, kneel, and cross yourself again
Stand up, Kneel, and cross yourself again
Feeling light headed
So take a swig
Maybe some wine will help
Clear your mind
Drink from this cup
& have everlasting life
YEAH right
Drink and die then
Fill it back up
You wont live forever...
