Unrecognizable home
The night smothered the day
And enveloped us with its madness
Driven by insecurities
And the unknown
Life has become unrecognizable
And this home, a stranger
Change is harsh
But also inevitable
Where do we go from here?
Live our lives in tears
Or try to see
Our reality a little more clear
It's lonesome in a way
To be driven from your home
Like some forgotten spellbound song
From a friend long ago
The die has been cast...
And enveloped us with its madness
Driven by insecurities
And the unknown
Life has become unrecognizable
And this home, a stranger
Change is harsh
But also inevitable
Where do we go from here?
Live our lives in tears
Or try to see
Our reality a little more clear
It's lonesome in a way
To be driven from your home
Like some forgotten spellbound song
From a friend long ago
The die has been cast...

Loss
Loss of youth
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope
Loss of truth
Loss of innocence
Loss of consequence
Loss of control
But what hurts most is
Loss of hope

Dissolution
We've been through this before
Chaos contains corruption
All the screaming does nothing
But lead to dissolution
What happened to our love
We were meant to be
Fate must've been mistaken
With you and me
We thought we had it
All figured out
Now we're covered in lies
And surrounded by doubt
This burden seems crushing
I want to go back in time
When our words meant something
And you were always by my side
Chaos contains corruption
All the screaming does nothing
But lead to dissolution
What happened to our love
We were meant to be
Fate must've been mistaken
With you and me
We thought we had it
All figured out
Now we're covered in lies
And surrounded by doubt
This burden seems crushing
I want to go back in time
When our words meant something
And you were always by my side

Dustbin
My heart breaks
For your tear filled eyes
I knew it was over
So did you
The sky poured down
It's grief in bitter cold
All our hopes and dreams
Of a future vanished
In a cloudy mist of grey
We loved a lifetime
So briefly
Endless nights of breathing in
Loves rapturous vapor
Eyes transfixed to one another
Now nothing but memories
In the dustbin of our minds
For your tear filled eyes
I knew it was over
So did you
The sky poured down
It's grief in bitter cold
All our hopes and dreams
Of a future vanished
In a cloudy mist of grey
We loved a lifetime
So briefly
Endless nights of breathing in
Loves rapturous vapor
Eyes transfixed to one another
Now nothing but memories
In the dustbin of our minds

Happiness
I've searched for happiness
Underneath all of God's
Vast skies
Walked the empty streets
Of a fading town
About to die
Trying my best to find
The secret to the
Elusive dream
I'm starting to wonder
If everything is really
The way it seems
Coolness of the night
Surrounds me in a lost
Feeling of warmth
Just like the bright
Exploding lights
Of July fourth
Laying on the grass
Looking up at the stars
Memories beating through my heart
I hear a voice...
Underneath all of God's
Vast skies
Walked the empty streets
Of a fading town
About to die
Trying my best to find
The secret to the
Elusive dream
I'm starting to wonder
If everything is really
The way it seems
Coolness of the night
Surrounds me in a lost
Feeling of warmth
Just like the bright
Exploding lights
Of July fourth
Laying on the grass
Looking up at the stars
Memories beating through my heart
I hear a voice...

Wraith
I'll be home for Christmas
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help
Too many mistakes
That I've made
Too many memories
I've lost along the way
Surrounded by empty bottles
Knowing it's too late
Wondering how I can still love
Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road
Wish i could've seen
How things would unfold
To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear
Just to wallow in self pity ...
Sitting all by myself
Alone and self forsaken
Refusing anyone's help
Too many mistakes
That I've made
Too many memories
I've lost along the way
Surrounded by empty bottles
Knowing it's too late

Something I've grown to hate
If I could turn back time
I would've taken a different road
Wish i could've seen
How things would unfold
To turn my back on everything
That I've ever held so dear
Just to wallow in self pity ...

Shards
Skies bleeding grey
Rain covers my lovelorn face
As I question my existence
And try to make sense of....
Loss
Loss of innocence
In an unforgiving world
That uses up what it wants
Then casts the rest
In the garbage bin
I watch the trees grow, bloom,
Wither and fade
Much like my heart
Given away....
Only to be raped
You said forever
But forever was just a word
That one day you could use
To crush and hurt
While you live out your twisted...
Rain covers my lovelorn face
As I question my existence
And try to make sense of....

Dissolving
Drowning in a pool of tears
Living in a reality
I can't begin to understand
My future was mapped
Now the map is torn to shreds
Uncertainty scares me to drink
And drink brings me closer to death
But maybe that's what I want
For all of this to be over
Good moments are few and far between
You want truth but sometimes it hurts
Time just keeps disappearing
And I'm just getting older
Dissolving closer to the end
Living in a reality
I can't begin to understand
My future was mapped
Now the map is torn to shreds
Uncertainty scares me to drink
And drink brings me closer to death
But maybe that's what I want
For all of this to be over
Good moments are few and far between
You want truth but sometimes it hurts
Time just keeps disappearing
And I'm just getting older
Dissolving closer to the end

Beauty of darkness
Sun softly sets
Across the heavenly horizon
Quietly ushering in the dark
Shadows hiding
The brilliant beauty
Of sleeping serenity
All things being equal
Saved from judgment
By the shaded twilight
A sultry new world
Forever existing
In the swirling sunset of time
Across the heavenly horizon
Quietly ushering in the dark
Shadows hiding
The brilliant beauty
Of sleeping serenity
All things being equal
Saved from judgment
By the shaded twilight
A sultry new world
Forever existing
In the swirling sunset of time

The calling
You'll never get anywhere if you stay
You can only get somewhere if you go
Listen for that lonesome call
It's calling for you so low
Loneliness is your friend
Don't think of him as your foe
Leave no trace when you leave
It's about time for you to go
Don't resist the urge any longer
Noone can ever say no
No need to pack your bags
Hear that lone whistle blow
You've got somewhere to go
No need to linger here anymore
You can only get somewhere if you go
Listen for that lonesome call
It's calling for you so low
Loneliness is your friend
Don't think of him as your foe
Leave no trace when you leave
It's about time for you to go
Don't resist the urge any longer
Noone can ever say no
No need to pack your bags
Hear that lone whistle blow
You've got somewhere to go
No need to linger here anymore

Heaven dissolved
Where has it all gone
Eternal nights of living our dreams
Wrapped in each others fantasy
The nights ended
Ushering in the cold reality
Of an impossible world
Now we live in harsh quiet
Searching for blame
To hurl at each other
For the dissolving of our heaven
Eternal nights of living our dreams
Wrapped in each others fantasy
The nights ended
Ushering in the cold reality
Of an impossible world
Now we live in harsh quiet
Searching for blame
To hurl at each other
For the dissolving of our heaven

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...
