Search
We have thoughts and ideas
Try to find the unknown
Searching for the answers
We leave no unturned stone
We look for the treasure
Knowledge is what we seek
A lifelong adventure
Our life filled with mystique
Looking for hidden clues
Try to solve the puzzle
Mix and matching items
The cards start to shuffle
A hand will be revealed
You either win or lose
Life is a lottery
You can not ever choose
Hope to see lady luck
As you roll to begin
Where will your pieces start
The wheel...

War
Destruction and chaos
Pointless war
Death and pain
What's all this for
Territory and power
Hatred of all
Killed by greed
The people will fall
Unnecessary violence
Two sides will fight
But what is gained
And who is right
Endless nightmare
For all is broken
Peace not an option
No word ever spoken
Only win or lose
Yet all has lost
Lives are gone
Is it worth the cost
Peace is needed
But few compromise
It's kill or be killed
As we head for demise ...
Pointless war

A dream
I close my eyes
My mind does wander
Dreaming upon a cloud
As I do ponder
Memories will play
As I will search
Looking for gold
Beneath the earth
I fly above
The moonlit sky
I see the stars
As I pass by
Looking to find
A torch to hold
To vanquish the darkness
And warm the cold
My mind does wander
Dreaming upon a cloud
As I do ponder
Memories will play
As I will search
Looking for gold
Beneath the earth
I fly above
The moonlit sky
I see the stars
As I pass by
Looking to find
A torch to hold
To vanquish the darkness
And warm the cold

Inner complications
The mind is an unique thing
It's hard to understand
There are inner complications
It's hard to make a plan
Emotions can cause you pain
The damage that was done
But without them, you will fall
Like a top, you have been spun
Flung back and forth
Like a pendulum
Trying to avoid the truth inside
From this, you try to run
Needing to be logical
But afraid you'll never realize
That you need to follow both
Or your mind will be paralyzed
Stuck in an endless cycle ...

Endless nightmare
You start to have a nightmare
A lost soul in the darkness
Trapped in an endless maze
The devil was aware
Filled with fear, you look around
The walls are caving in
You try to make it out
But no exit can be found
The room begins to shake
You start to lose your mind
Then you fall beneath the floor
As your reality starts to break
Voices begin to whisper
As you awake in a closed off room
A shadow is behind you
You can only whimper
Unsure of where you are
You can't believe your eyes ...
A lost soul in the darkness
Trapped in an endless maze
The devil was aware
Filled with fear, you look around
The walls are caving in
You try to make it out
But no exit can be found
The room begins to shake
You start to lose your mind
Then you fall beneath the floor
As your reality starts to break
Voices begin to whisper
As you awake in a closed off room
A shadow is behind you
You can only whimper
Unsure of where you are
You can't believe your eyes ...

Vulnerable
Hardest thing to do in life is trust
To allow yourself to be vulnerable
Afraid to be left in the dust
So you stay completely hidden
Thinking you aren't worth it
Your mind is full of sadness
Tired of the bullshit
So you ignore the world
Swimming against the current
Unsure how to accept
Fighting against the serpent
The pain you have inside
Trying to find a path
To begin your inner therapy
Racing around the track
Through the finish line
To allow yourself to be vulnerable
Afraid to be left in the dust
So you stay completely hidden
Thinking you aren't worth it
Your mind is full of sadness
Tired of the bullshit
So you ignore the world
Swimming against the current
Unsure how to accept
Fighting against the serpent
The pain you have inside
Trying to find a path
To begin your inner therapy
Racing around the track
Through the finish line

Battle of my mind
I contemplate my existence
Question the path I lead
Look for an inner voice
A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star
As I try to break the bind
An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through
Question the path I lead
Look for an inner voice
A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star
As I try to break the bind
An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through

Split Mind
Its hard for me to understand
The truth or my destiny
I continue to think
My mind is my recipe
But torn between two sides
Never truly whole
Like two personalities
But interlinking souls
I'm a mystery
Even to myself
Unsure of who I am
Unsure of what will help
I get lost in the meaning
I struggle just to live
Alone in my thoughts
I'm alone on a grid
Wishing for purpose
I look for direction
Needing some answers
This test, one correction
Locked in a safe ...

Drown
So many questions we ask
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...
But no answers are found

Can't hear a sound

Now burnt straight to ash

Shackles
Fear has always chained me
To a wall of self doubt
I have tried to escape
But my mind won't allow
Shackles around my soul
As I try to awaken
From the deepest darkness
The demons awaiting
Watching my failures
The mistakes I have made
Hope for a second chance
As my time seems to fade
My hope locked in a box
With no key to open
My memories replay
All the good ones broken
Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...
To a wall of self doubt
I have tried to escape
But my mind won't allow
Shackles around my soul
As I try to awaken
From the deepest darkness
The demons awaiting
Watching my failures
The mistakes I have made
Hope for a second chance
As my time seems to fade
My hope locked in a box
With no key to open
My memories replay
All the good ones broken
Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...

The music I hear within me
The music i hear within me
All these words that come to mind
All these paths that I do cross
I do think it is my time
I do know that the roads may seem far
That you may feel all alone
That its hard to remember
And the light isn't always shown
But your heart you must heal
Your demons you must defeat
This is all for you
Its time for you to believe
I'm sorry for your troubles
For all the pain you've seen
But you will be greater
It's time to follow your dream
The music i hear...
All these words that come to mind
All these paths that I do cross
I do think it is my time
I do know that the roads may seem far
That you may feel all alone
That its hard to remember
And the light isn't always shown
But your heart you must heal
Your demons you must defeat
This is all for you
Its time for you to believe
I'm sorry for your troubles
For all the pain you've seen
But you will be greater
It's time to follow your dream
The music i hear...

Tired
I'm tired of feeling the same way
No revision to my story
A fate worse than death
Is the same old inventory
If you aren't moving forward
Then you'll get lost in the tide
Stuck in the present
Without a way to hide
Alone but yet surrounded
Loved but left behind
Only thing thats there
Are the fallen remnants of time
I wish I could change the past
Flip fate into a new card
Piece together my mind
As we find the fallen shard
I try to create a flame
That is eternal in my heart ...
