Saying goodbye
I lost you today
My heart ripped from my rib cage
Nothing left to say
Dreams crushed and covered in gray
Gazing on your lifeless face
My heart ripped from my rib cage
Nothing left to say
Dreams crushed and covered in gray
Gazing on your lifeless face

Regrets
Well regrets, I've had a few
But then again... Wait a minute
I've had more than a few
But the greatest has to be my time
And how I spent it
Spent most of kids childhood
Killing off my brain cells
Lost most of those precious memories
While I was lost in a living hell
First steps, first words,
First days of school
Lost because I was wasted
Acting like a fool
Now when I'm asked, remember when?
The answers usually no
And then there's the birthdays
When I was too "sick" to show
If I could...
But then again... Wait a minute
I've had more than a few
But the greatest has to be my time
And how I spent it
Spent most of kids childhood
Killing off my brain cells
Lost most of those precious memories
While I was lost in a living hell
First steps, first words,
First days of school
Lost because I was wasted
Acting like a fool
Now when I'm asked, remember when?
The answers usually no
And then there's the birthdays
When I was too "sick" to show
If I could...

Interplanetary visitors
She walks through rose hued
Frozen mist
To enter my dreams
A welcome visitor from another time
When we reigned supreme
We set the scene
In our impenetrable world
Everyone viewed from afar
We had returned from another star
Our pale skinned subjects
Danced and rejoiced
At our return
But we knew we couldn't last
So we set the fires ablaze
To burn eternally until
Our successor
Appeared
From his interplanetary voyage
Frozen mist
To enter my dreams
A welcome visitor from another time
When we reigned supreme
We set the scene
In our impenetrable world
Everyone viewed from afar
We had returned from another star
Our pale skinned subjects
Danced and rejoiced
At our return
But we knew we couldn't last
So we set the fires ablaze
To burn eternally until
Our successor
Appeared
From his interplanetary voyage

Siren
There was a sailor
Some say the best to sail the sea
He lived for the salty air
And longed for gold and rubies
But one day sitting quietly
In the darkest corner of a sunken pub
He heard tale of a treasure so great
It would overshadow all other loves
T'was a foreboding warning
Of beautiful sirens who lie in wait
And sing their spellbound lullabies
To entice sailors as bait
He shrugged it off
Smirking with a cocky scoff
And set sail the next morning
Not giving a second thought
After a...

Among the stars
Come away with me
Across the ancient lands
We'll swim across the sea
Until our toes can touch the sand
We'll rise out of the water
Like a new flower from the dirt
Shake the liquid from us
And celebrate our birth
The wind will gently kiss us
Upon our sun dried cheeks
And carry us to meet
The one we came to seek
His grace knows no boundaries
He gave his very life
For your only sins
He made his sacrifice
He's known you forever
Before the dawn of time
Now speak your praises to him ...
Across the ancient lands
We'll swim across the sea
Until our toes can touch the sand
We'll rise out of the water
Like a new flower from the dirt
Shake the liquid from us
And celebrate our birth
The wind will gently kiss us
Upon our sun dried cheeks
And carry us to meet
The one we came to seek
His grace knows no boundaries
He gave his very life
For your only sins
He made his sacrifice
He's known you forever
Before the dawn of time
Now speak your praises to him ...

Meeting death
Ride out to meet death
Like greeting the horizon of a new day
The sun, burning away
The old decaying layers
Covering your eyes
To reveal the cleansed pureness beneath
Rejuvenated, the newborn butterfly
Crawled forth from it's fragile tomb
Like greeting the horizon of a new day
The sun, burning away
The old decaying layers
Covering your eyes
To reveal the cleansed pureness beneath
Rejuvenated, the newborn butterfly
Crawled forth from it's fragile tomb

First kiss
One summer night
Moon shining down
Trees casting shadows
Fog setting in
Dog barking in the distance
Girl holding my hand
Heart racing
Palm sweating
Girl leaning
Kiss nearing
Absolute heaven
Moon shining down
Trees casting shadows
Fog setting in
Dog barking in the distance
Girl holding my hand
Heart racing
Palm sweating
Girl leaning
Kiss nearing
Absolute heaven

Mysterious dance
The sun melted into the horizon as the misty fog snaked it's way through the valley.
Winding through forests and hills, blanketing the quiet scenery with it's moist dew.
Dancing candlelight pierced the newborn darkness with a flaming exuberance.
Wild children filled with mystic thoughts left the comfort of their beds and met in the cool sacred grounds of the cemetery.
Surrounded by aging oak trees the candles cast shadows on the ancient monoliths as the awakened children danced and chanted their mysterious songs to the moon.
Winding through forests and hills, blanketing the quiet scenery with it's moist dew.
Dancing candlelight pierced the newborn darkness with a flaming exuberance.
Wild children filled with mystic thoughts left the comfort of their beds and met in the cool sacred grounds of the cemetery.
Surrounded by aging oak trees the candles cast shadows on the ancient monoliths as the awakened children danced and chanted their mysterious songs to the moon.

Angel tears
Sitting home all alone
With my mind all blank
Waiting for the open door
To shut itself
Speaking words that I have heard
From outer space
Finding time to be kind
To my cosmic mate
Angel tears can't erase the years
That I did waste
I gotta bide my time till I find my prime
Has been erased
Then I'll fill my cup with empty luck
In a forgotten place
And I'll hope to cope with my lost soul
Sinking in the lake
Only days ago when times were old
And filled with grace
I chased my dreams...
With my mind all blank
Waiting for the open door
To shut itself
Speaking words that I have heard
From outer space
Finding time to be kind
To my cosmic mate
Angel tears can't erase the years
That I did waste
I gotta bide my time till I find my prime
Has been erased
Then I'll fill my cup with empty luck
In a forgotten place
And I'll hope to cope with my lost soul
Sinking in the lake
Only days ago when times were old
And filled with grace
I chased my dreams...

Catatonic
Locked in a prison
Of my own design
There were no early warnings
There were no signs
My mind put up walls
Surrounded me on all sides
Afraid for it's survival
Trying to preserve it's own life
And though my brain thrived
Outwardly, to everyone else I died
Emotionless
Catatonic
Schizophrenic
Frozen in a state of decline
My mind and body became
Separate entities
But needed each other to survive
Now I sit motionless
In my own special room
Big picture...
Of my own design
There were no early warnings
There were no signs
My mind put up walls
Surrounded me on all sides
Afraid for it's survival
Trying to preserve it's own life
And though my brain thrived
Outwardly, to everyone else I died
Emotionless
Catatonic
Schizophrenic
Frozen in a state of decline
My mind and body became
Separate entities
But needed each other to survive
Now I sit motionless
In my own special room
Big picture...

Protest
Things are happening
That I don't agree with
I think I'll start a protest
Cover my face
Wave a banner
Shout some propaganda
If someone should dare
Disagree with what I think
I know exactly what to do
That'll push them to the brink
Break windows
Steal from neighbors
And burn their businesses down
Cause that's what you do
To get people to listen
Not what we were taught in school
But it fits with my agenda
These people better come around
To seeing my point of view
Cause...
That I don't agree with
I think I'll start a protest
Cover my face
Wave a banner
Shout some propaganda
If someone should dare
Disagree with what I think
I know exactly what to do
That'll push them to the brink
Break windows
Steal from neighbors
And burn their businesses down
Cause that's what you do
To get people to listen
Not what we were taught in school
But it fits with my agenda
These people better come around
To seeing my point of view
Cause...

Staying silent
Somebody told me
Secrets I can't keep
But this beast has grown bigger
Than you and me
We can't go back
And change time
We can't go back
And erase this crime
We've been judged
By the all seeing eye
He sees all truth
Purges out all lies
Lock me away
I deserve to die
I'll spend my after life
With eternity to cry
Secrets I can't keep
But this beast has grown bigger
Than you and me
We can't go back
And change time
We can't go back
And erase this crime
We've been judged
By the all seeing eye
He sees all truth
Purges out all lies
Lock me away
I deserve to die
I'll spend my after life
With eternity to cry
