The Light
The Light
I have no faith in my life, I have no song or prayer
I consist of lonely rage and automated shame
but I feel something trying to break through my walls
and it is you - whenever I hear you call out my name
In open skies, I am no one, I just exist, I just am
I go through the motions of being a caring man
I pay attention to the dead things that lay in my path
but all that changes when I feel the gentle touch of your hand
I will stand in the blizzard just so I can feel something
the cold burns but it is comfort of...

Love flow
I whisper your name as in a small prayer
Do not judge me for allowing myself this little happiness
I say in the good night of a new moon
that my life is a mess and all that I do is just another test
The jumping cricket cannot sing as it runs away into the night
nor can the Owl sing her mournful songs to no one in particular
But to everyone who can hear the song and not the pain
for me the look of innocence is a dangerous allure
I hold her sacred in my heart, the one special place in my heart
Of long gone melodies that resonate still in my dreams...

.,, but it will always be never
I see her sideways glance, the bounce in her step when she is near
I hear the music in her laughter and I see the love in her eyes
I see it and I can do nothing at all about it, but to take it all in
Oh the Blood Gods are cruel indeed when I see their Blood Moon rise
I want to let her into my secret place, so she can bring color inside
I want to tell her that I love her, a love from a thousand deaths
I want her love light to shine brightly in my dark shadowed world
and to take in her love scent essence with all my breaths
But I cannot – I cannot do...

Am I worthy?
I can feel the pureness of your heart
I can see in your eyes your love for me, no fear
I’m not bulletproof but I would take one for you
you are the light to my dark, you are the music that I hear
I like the way you look at me, it gives me hope
That the struggles I go through are not in vain
The Sunrise has more meaning now
even if it means I’m singing a sad song in the rain
I feel like I am done in this world sometimes
I cannot do any more good with my evil soul
Then I see you and I can feel your smile deep in my heart
it tries to pull me...

Tortured Beauty
She is a tortured beauty - broken - hearted perfection
I see her smoldering eyes as they rip through my rapture
Her heated passion to bring pain to those she loves will be my undoing
...as I fail miserably to avoid her capture
She moves freely within the confines of her self-inflicted restraints
and her sweet, sweet voice brings the White Death
I can no longer hide in the shadows of the darkness around me
as she walks towards me, whispering her love in a sadistic breath
Lifelessness surrounds her, for she is the only light in the world

Seeking My Balance
The Darkness surrounds me, as I run from myself
Nowhere to go... nowhere to hide
I show my humbleness and I ask for help
She takes me by the hand, and she takes me inside
The coolness of her presence soothes me in here
with amazing calmness, I settle into the cozy comfort zone
My angst slowly cools like magma over a million years
her nonchalance helps me in knowing that I am not alone
Listening to a distant heartbeat - I sleep
in my sleep, I begin to dream - pay attention to dreams
Pay attention because someone is saying something deep
and...

Under the Cover of Madness
I'm getting closer to you now
you can't see me, but you can feel me
You are near, and I'm watching you
the Beast within needs to be free
Do you love me?
like the way I love you
Do you need me?
like the way I need you
and I want to do bad things to you
I want to feed off your innocence
I want to abuse you like a blow up baby doll
I watch you in my darkness and silence
I'm in your dreams now - can you feel me?
I'm crawling inside your virginal bliss
always in the shadows I know your scent now
and I'm coming for you now,...

Free Me
I am feeling like death in the mood for murder
I just wanna rip someone's head off and I wouldn't care
and feed on their soul in a creepy kinda ecstasy
Welcome to my world mothefucker, it's a living nightmare
The beast has been caged for too long now
I need to let it out, let it play and let it feed
the shadow I cast is Death, and I am coming for you
I need to let it breed and it wants to make me bleed
a voice in the darkness whispers like hurricane winds
telling me to let it out, to let it free
I wake up in a sticky sweat in the cold pit I...

Her Darkness Unfolds
She is standing in the corner - waiting
She disappears when I look her way
She is watching everything I do
Willing and able to do as I ask, to do what I say
I tell her to come forward, onto the bed
She slowly moves like a shadow drifting across turbulent water
I sit patiently watching her take her time
She could be anyone, a mother, a sister, or a daughter
She sits on the bed, across from me
Her black hair flowing in an unseen, and unfelt breeze
I ask her to show herself and to reveal herself
Slowly, she unfolds her darkness in front of me
She disappears when I look her way
She is watching everything I do
Willing and able to do as I ask, to do what I say
I tell her to come forward, onto the bed
She slowly moves like a shadow drifting across turbulent water
I sit patiently watching her take her time
She could be anyone, a mother, a sister, or a daughter
She sits on the bed, across from me
Her black hair flowing in an unseen, and unfelt breeze
I ask her to show herself and to reveal herself
Slowly, she unfolds her darkness in front of me

I am The Night
This smile I show is my scar tissue
I smile to let the light out to the good and fare
but it lets the festering blackness breathe inside me
giving fuel to dark chaos, so what's another nightmare?
The laughter I let out is my buried pain and misery
dug up and let loose from a long ago lost world
and the colors are slowly fading, the music is out of tune
the smile is my scar tissue, but I don't smile much anymore
The Blood Gods laugh at what has become of me
and to this, I can only tip my hat and nod my head
Their medicine is weak, but I have...

Empty
I saw her again, as I do everyday
this time, as I looked at the refelction of the sky
from the mirror on the side of my car
I saw her eyes, slowly drifting by
Last night, I saw her in the shadows
as the music I played formed around her
each note from my guitar shaped her face and figure
until she was there, all aglow and blue shimmer
What can I do, when an important piece of me
was ripped out of me so long ago, it was so long ago
but I know she is still here in my heart and in my soul
Time will heal you they said, but she...

She makes me feel....
I find myself thinking about her, more than I should
She makes me feel like a school boy once again
and I catch her looking at me when she thinks I'm not looking
I like how that makes me feel, like how I've always should've been
From a white light, she comes to me in my dreams
She stands there smiling with evil intent
but I do nothing, I just love looking at her
and I slowly breathe in her excited scent
I am strongest in the shadows of the chaotic dream lands
but the light she brings, is a temptation that can undo me
I tell her to come into...
