The girl you used to be
All my world is black
There's nothing I can do
To bring you back
We used to dream
Of endless time spent
Together forever
When the sun
Still burned bright
In the infinite sky
The hours were ours
To waste at our laughable
Flippant indiscretions
Not knowing
Or caring
What the world had in store
Time was never acknowledged
Cared for
Or savored in our naivete
Then something changed
You weren't the girl
That you used to be
Now forever later
A...

Candle in the dark
It's hard to see you
In such a withered state
Your brightness soared
Blinding our eyes
To the point of hurt
I'll gladly take your place
You were my one and only saving grace
We burned the night
And bathed in the ashes
In the morning sun's light
Now madness reigns
Dissolving lines between crazy and sane
I know you're still there
Lost in the wilderness
Wondering if anyone cares
But I'll always be here
Holding a candle to draw you near
I'll shade you...
In such a withered state
Your brightness soared
Blinding our eyes
To the point of hurt
I'll gladly take your place
You were my one and only saving grace
We burned the night
And bathed in the ashes
In the morning sun's light
Now madness reigns
Dissolving lines between crazy and sane
I know you're still there
Lost in the wilderness
Wondering if anyone cares
But I'll always be here
Holding a candle to draw you near
I'll shade you...

All a dream
I dream of you at night
So peaceful and warm
Radiating your love
So serene and calm
Then I wake
With whirlwinds spinning in my head
Trying to decipher reality
From all the lies I've been fed
Were those magic moments
Real at all
Was it just my imagination
Running blindly into a wall
You said all the right words
Forever, care, love
But when you're nowhere to be found
All I feel is hurt
Maybe it was all a dream
Too perfect to be real
But it felt nice
Just to be able to...
So peaceful and warm
Radiating your love
So serene and calm
Then I wake
With whirlwinds spinning in my head
Trying to decipher reality
From all the lies I've been fed
Were those magic moments
Real at all
Was it just my imagination
Running blindly into a wall
You said all the right words
Forever, care, love
But when you're nowhere to be found
All I feel is hurt
Maybe it was all a dream
Too perfect to be real
But it felt nice
Just to be able to...

Everything to gain
Sick of myself
Sick of my home
Watching my wasting flesh
Slowly turn into bones
Go where I'm needed
Go where I'm wanted
Where disabling diseases
No longer haunt me
I can be with all the others
Mirrors of me
Who want nothing more
Than to be set free
Free from the desire
Free from the pain
With nothing left to lose
And everything to gain
Sick of my home
Watching my wasting flesh
Slowly turn into bones
Go where I'm needed
Go where I'm wanted
Where disabling diseases
No longer haunt me
I can be with all the others
Mirrors of me
Who want nothing more
Than to be set free
Free from the desire
Free from the pain
With nothing left to lose
And everything to gain

Wish
I held you so close
Forever feeling you'd be mine
A warm fire to
Stave off the freezing rain
But oh so slowly
We drifted away
Boats listless
Lost in the raging sea
I searched for you
In the gutters of this
Suffering world
Filled with parasites and leeches
But to no avail
My dream was gone
In a whisper not quite heard
You sank into the shadows
I had to let you go
A bright fragile butterfly
Into a hurricane
Of darkness and despair
But I will always wait ...
Forever feeling you'd be mine
A warm fire to
Stave off the freezing rain
But oh so slowly
We drifted away
Boats listless
Lost in the raging sea
I searched for you
In the gutters of this
Suffering world
Filled with parasites and leeches
But to no avail
My dream was gone
In a whisper not quite heard
You sank into the shadows
I had to let you go
A bright fragile butterfly
Into a hurricane
Of darkness and despair
But I will always wait ...

Disintegrate
I spent eternity
Searching for my lost love
Among darkest nights
And forgotten drunken fights
Yet you stood right before me
With that look In your eyes
Knowing all the deceit
All the hidden lies
My mind was drowning
In waves of suicide
While you tried to pull me
From the deafening cries
I'll die right here
To save you the trouble
Don't waste your time
On mounds of rubble
I'll disintegrate
Right before your eyes
A closing curtain
With no final goodbyes ...
Searching for my lost love
Among darkest nights
And forgotten drunken fights
Yet you stood right before me
With that look In your eyes
Knowing all the deceit
All the hidden lies
My mind was drowning
In waves of suicide
While you tried to pull me
From the deafening cries
I'll die right here
To save you the trouble
Don't waste your time
On mounds of rubble
I'll disintegrate
Right before your eyes
A closing curtain
With no final goodbyes ...

Loving and living
I lived for you
You died for me
An aching dream
I can't put to sleep
Only you knew me
All bitterness swept clean
But you sparkled that night
When we danced within our dreams
We needed nothing else
But to wrap within each other
Hiding tears falling into the drain
Of a rusted hearts gutter
But we lived beyond parallels
Gazing past the stars
In need for nothing
Because we were everything
To exist is inevitable
To live is exceptional
You died for me
An aching dream
I can't put to sleep
Only you knew me
All bitterness swept clean
But you sparkled that night
When we danced within our dreams
We needed nothing else
But to wrap within each other
Hiding tears falling into the drain
Of a rusted hearts gutter
But we lived beyond parallels
Gazing past the stars
In need for nothing
Because we were everything
To exist is inevitable
To live is exceptional

Cruel fate
Stars fall all around
Setting the night ablaze
With mysterious golden glaze
Feel the warmth run through
My body electrified
Spirits searing eternalized
We turn and meet each others gaze
Minds flying high
We both hand in hand rise
Watching earth dissappear
Beneath our flowing feet
Our hearts tune to each others beat
Dancing silhouettes
Through crystal cosmic dust
Seeing the beginning of what was
We spoke without words
In a tangled love affair
Leaving us both gasping for air ...
Setting the night ablaze
With mysterious golden glaze
Feel the warmth run through
My body electrified
Spirits searing eternalized
We turn and meet each others gaze
Minds flying high
We both hand in hand rise
Watching earth dissappear
Beneath our flowing feet
Our hearts tune to each others beat
Dancing silhouettes
Through crystal cosmic dust
Seeing the beginning of what was
We spoke without words
In a tangled love affair
Leaving us both gasping for air ...

Weak man
I wake to a brand new day
But it's the same old darkness
That keeps hanging around
Keeping me down
Say I'm gonna break these chains
That hold me in this pit
When I finally seem free
The pit is too deep
For a weak man like me
I'll still hold a smile for you
Although I'm crumbling inside
You deserve better
Than someone hanging by a tether
I know I can't hide
This loneliness from you
Once something turns blue
There's no going back
The next step is black
Go find...
But it's the same old darkness
That keeps hanging around
Keeping me down
Say I'm gonna break these chains
That hold me in this pit
When I finally seem free
The pit is too deep
For a weak man like me
I'll still hold a smile for you
Although I'm crumbling inside
You deserve better
Than someone hanging by a tether
I know I can't hide
This loneliness from you
Once something turns blue
There's no going back
The next step is black
Go find...

No trace
I saw that look
In your tear filled eyes
A dream broken into
A million pieces
With no solution written
In the dark stormy skies
Anticipation grows
With every passing day
Two hearts breaking into
Two dancing souls
Falling apart
With nothing to say
We move within inches
Without a glance
Chilled by the cold
Inside of me
But it's past the point
Of a second chance
I used to live
For the joy in your face
Inspired by your
Desire
Now I'm searching
But there's...
In your tear filled eyes
A dream broken into
A million pieces
With no solution written
In the dark stormy skies
Anticipation grows
With every passing day
Two hearts breaking into
Two dancing souls
Falling apart
With nothing to say
We move within inches
Without a glance
Chilled by the cold
Inside of me
But it's past the point
Of a second chance
I used to live
For the joy in your face
Inspired by your
Desire
Now I'm searching
But there's...

Lovesick
I weep
For a love lost
In the shadows
Of a vapid night
Ours was a tune
Played in blissfull grace
Till the time
You were lured away
It was all too much
The dancing firelight
On sensuous shores
Turning darkness into light
I called in vacuumed screams
Beware
They're not what they seem
Thrilling ecstasy is hard to penetrate
From a chilled soaking rain
Always searching for
A way to ease the pain
So I wait
In tempestuous silence
For your abated...
For a love lost
In the shadows
Of a vapid night
Ours was a tune
Played in blissfull grace
Till the time
You were lured away
It was all too much
The dancing firelight
On sensuous shores
Turning darkness into light
I called in vacuumed screams
Beware
They're not what they seem
Thrilling ecstasy is hard to penetrate
From a chilled soaking rain
Always searching for
A way to ease the pain
So I wait
In tempestuous silence
For your abated...

Last talk
One more call
To hear your fading voice
Knowing it'll be the last
What to say
A lifetime crushed into minutes
You don't want to end
Memories flood
My mind inundated with your face
Tears pool onto your picture
Time for goodbyes
Cruel moments of living
But thankful for the chance
To hear your fading voice
Knowing it'll be the last
What to say
A lifetime crushed into minutes
You don't want to end
Memories flood
My mind inundated with your face
Tears pool onto your picture
Time for goodbyes
Cruel moments of living
But thankful for the chance
