Unfinished Dreams
Its not expressed in words
This image in my head
Can paint this picture in only one color
My words are monochrome
But in my head the imagery is vivid
I can paint in only one color
Alone alone alone.....
Can't you see what I see?
These colors in my head
Can't you see this lovely picture?
You're seeing just one color!
There is more to me
So much more inside my head.....
I want to share these pictures.
I want to paint these pictures.
But I lack the skill and the tools
Its raw, its rough, its weird, its unclean...

Judge of the World
I am the Judge of the World
and the world judges me.
From my mountain I sit on
Looking down on all that I see.
Everyone is a sinner.
Filled with wrongdoings and shame.
From my mountain I sit on
I cast down my blame.
Everyone is a dreamer
a world filled with hope.
From my mountain I sit on
I am an outcast misanthrope.
Everyone takes a lover.
Everyone has a friend.
From my mountain I sit on
who am I to condescend?
I see others just like me
on mountains just as high.
From my mountain I sit on
I walk...
and the world judges me.
From my mountain I sit on
Looking down on all that I see.
Everyone is a sinner.
Filled with wrongdoings and shame.
From my mountain I sit on
I cast down my blame.
Everyone is a dreamer
a world filled with hope.
From my mountain I sit on
I am an outcast misanthrope.
Everyone takes a lover.
Everyone has a friend.
From my mountain I sit on
who am I to condescend?
I see others just like me
on mountains just as high.
From my mountain I sit on

Too Bright to See, Too Dark to Be
Stay close my friend
You are my light
But if you linger
It grows too bright
I'll lose myself
I'll lose all sight
I'll fade away
In an endless white
I don't want to disappear
Your comfort increases my fright
I'll draw you in close
Only to suddenly take flight
Afraid of the dark
In a whole new way
All by myself
The dreams begin to play
Hidden in my recessed mind
Shadows come to draw me away
Lose my grip and take the leap
Fade to black in fantasy
Don't want to be found, don't want to be seen...
You are my light
But if you linger
It grows too bright
I'll lose myself
I'll lose all sight
I'll fade away
In an endless white
I don't want to disappear
Your comfort increases my fright
I'll draw you in close
Only to suddenly take flight
Afraid of the dark
In a whole new way
All by myself
The dreams begin to play
Hidden in my recessed mind
Shadows come to draw me away
Lose my grip and take the leap
Fade to black in fantasy
Don't want to be found, don't want to be seen...

Just a Moment Away
Standing on the darkened hill
Beneath the twilight sky.
There we were just you and I
And for a moment the world was still.
I could not remember how it was we got here
But for the moment I didn't care.
We did nothing at all but sit and stare
Into the heavens above in full revere.
This moment was silent
As we were alone with our dreams
Free to be ourselves in a place so serene.
A moment of catharsis defiant.
We came down from that hill in the blackest of night.
Free from our fears as our excitement we shared.

Good Night
At night I can't surrender to sleep
And lay in wait for my fears to creep.
Admission to my feeling hollow.
Aware of despair in my shadow that follows.
Afraid I don't matter, that I will disapear.
Afraid no one would notice if I wasn't here.
Trust in your reassurances I can't feel.
While I beg your attentions to convince me that I am real.
So I bid you good night, sleep well, and sweet dreams.
To calm the loneliness which inside me screams.
And lay in wait for my fears to creep.
Admission to my feeling hollow.
Aware of despair in my shadow that follows.
Afraid I don't matter, that I will disapear.
Afraid no one would notice if I wasn't here.
Trust in your reassurances I can't feel.
While I beg your attentions to convince me that I am real.
So I bid you good night, sleep well, and sweet dreams.
To calm the loneliness which inside me screams.

Six String Wings
To feel freedom like the sky
Is why I feel the need to fly
Escape the earth and its crushing weight
The troubles that make me suffocate
I will make my wings
From these six strings
My guitar will set me free
From all my terrors and all my strife
All uncertainty in my life.
For in this moment I am me
These six string wings they let me soar
They raise my soul up high in their triumphant roar
Who knew that steel would make me feel so light
When it gave me the power of wondersome flight
Is why I feel the need to fly
Escape the earth and its crushing weight
The troubles that make me suffocate
I will make my wings
From these six strings
My guitar will set me free
From all my terrors and all my strife
All uncertainty in my life.
For in this moment I am me
These six string wings they let me soar
They raise my soul up high in their triumphant roar
Who knew that steel would make me feel so light
When it gave me the power of wondersome flight

Schism
Images out of sight
Thoughts without words
Music without sound
Out of reach
Out of touch
Disconnected from myself
and the world around
But to plug back in
Its all too much
Just go to sleep
Let it all drift away
But cannot sleep
while already dreaming
Cannot rest
Until I wake up
Thoughts without words
Music without sound
Out of reach
Out of touch
Disconnected from myself
and the world around
But to plug back in
Its all too much
Just go to sleep
Let it all drift away
But cannot sleep
while already dreaming
Cannot rest
Until I wake up

Ask Me Anything
Ask me anything
Ask me anything
I'm curious more than you
I don't what resides inside
Help me search for something true
Ask me anything
Ask me something
I'm curious about you
What would you like to know about me
It will be a discovery for me too
Ask me something
Ask me something
I keep drawing up blanks
Too many thoughts and nothing important
Give me your input, I'll give you my thanks
Ask me something
Ask me anything
It is you I want to know
Let me know what I can give you
Let me know what I can show...

How Are You Broken?
Like machines we are created
But no warranty
resigning us to what we're fated
Blueprints and schematics
We try to isolate our flaws.
Become the marketing image
Even when it hurts our cause
How are you broken?
Do you malfunction?
Just obsolete?
Do you think less
Because you feel a mess
That you're more broken then me?
The strain, the stress
When your gears dont mesh
You feel out of control
Those faults inside
You cannot hide
The workings of your soul
Maybe you got some extra parts
or missing a...
