Prisoner
Swallowed by shadows
Crawling blindly
Looking for help
Regrets remain
Clear in my brain
Remember myself
And miss myself
Before enslavement
Buried my testament
Is this how it ends?
Howling humiliation
Strangles hope
Vices victorious
Over a beaten soul
God help me
Yours truly,
Poisoned prisoner
Crawling blindly
Looking for help
Regrets remain
Clear in my brain
Remember myself
And miss myself
Before enslavement
Buried my testament
Is this how it ends?
Howling humiliation
Strangles hope
Vices victorious
Over a beaten soul
God help me
Yours truly,
Poisoned prisoner

Every now and then
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
Every now and then
Burning bright
We'd slay this world
At seventeen
The future was too far away
To get in our way
But time had different ideas
Cruel to the heart
And sorrow to the soul
Tearing loose, leaving holes
Now I'm lost in the present
And you're stuck in the past
Frozen against your will
Fate forever sealed
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
So I cling to the future ...
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
Every now and then
Burning bright
We'd slay this world
At seventeen
The future was too far away
To get in our way
But time had different ideas
Cruel to the heart
And sorrow to the soul
Tearing loose, leaving holes
Now I'm lost in the present
And you're stuck in the past
Frozen against your will
Fate forever sealed
Tears still fall
Memories fade
But I can still see your face
So I cling to the future ...

Calloused
Forever feeling pain
Hidden death of falling stars
Lost trust somewhere in stabbing rain
Nursing scars of a hurting heart
Truth lies within goodbyes
Decisions always ruminate to roam
Didn't recognize the cries from inside
Eternally cursed to feel alone?
Fade into moonlight and dust
Swept away in floods of delusional love
Heart's been left to fade in rust
A dying disease ridden dove
Callous feelings care no more
Protected perfectly by
A cast iron cage with no door
No longer affected by love or lies ...
Hidden death of falling stars
Lost trust somewhere in stabbing rain
Nursing scars of a hurting heart
Truth lies within goodbyes
Decisions always ruminate to roam
Didn't recognize the cries from inside
Eternally cursed to feel alone?
Fade into moonlight and dust
Swept away in floods of delusional love
Heart's been left to fade in rust
A dying disease ridden dove
Callous feelings care no more
Protected perfectly by
A cast iron cage with no door
No longer affected by love or lies ...

Forget
Forget my smile
Forget my laugh
Forget my eyes
Forget all those things you said
You loved so much about me
Forget my utterly unexplainable devotion
To every little whim of yours
Because your happiness was all I wanted, all I needed
Your desires are what I lived to fulfill
Yet it wasn't enough
So please just forget
Everything about me
And hopefully one day I'll be able
To forget about you
Forget my laugh
Forget my eyes
Forget all those things you said
You loved so much about me
Forget my utterly unexplainable devotion
To every little whim of yours
Because your happiness was all I wanted, all I needed
Your desires are what I lived to fulfill
Yet it wasn't enough
So please just forget
Everything about me
And hopefully one day I'll be able
To forget about you

Alone
I wake up alone
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...
Drink my coffee and bourbon
Next to the foggy window
As the cold rain loosens and breaks
Every leaf still left clinging to life
Before they're pushed to the ground
I go out alone
Thinking about the note you left
That day you went away because of
My distance, despair and depression
Saying you needed more to life
Than a series of highs and lows from a
Never ending roller-coaster ride
And the chilling rain continued
I come home alone
Drink my bourbon and coffee
With a little more...

Blackbirds
It's a long way home
When you don't know
Where home is
I wander lonely roads
Of asphalt and dust
Searching
I see the blackbirds
Watching and waiting
Starving for a burnt-out soul
They follow my every move
Perched in tree tops
Along window sills
I recall buildings and towns
From a long ago
Far away dream
But none are home to me
So I continue on
Still searching
Blackbirds land on my shoulders
And at my feet
Sensing my weariness
They whisper...
When you don't know
Where home is
I wander lonely roads
Of asphalt and dust
Searching
I see the blackbirds
Watching and waiting
Starving for a burnt-out soul
They follow my every move
Perched in tree tops
Along window sills
I recall buildings and towns
From a long ago
Far away dream
But none are home to me
So I continue on
Still searching
Blackbirds land on my shoulders
And at my feet
Sensing my weariness
They whisper...

Bring you back home
Dreamed 'bout you last night
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...
Beauty bowed at your feet
Angels looked at you with envy
God's masterpiece personified
We had time on our side
Living free without a care
No future to think and plan for
No burdens to bare
I held you in the cool autumn nights
Sitting in the back of my truck
Wondering what I did
To deserve such luck
We danced through golden fields
Barefoot we waded in the creek
Both waiting for the other
To say how we truly felt
But time betrayed us ...

Bliss
Swimming through sunbeams
Just trying to reach infinity for you
Flying with whispered wind
Feeling a little low
Knowing that you know
I grow transparent with every
Saturated spill of words
Babble is all that comes through
As my awe for you grew
"Would you like to dance?"
Is all my stunted stupid self
Could muster to such a beautiful girl
I turn to walk myself into rejection
When a quiet "sure" permeated and
Drowned the dazing music to exile
A flirtatious smile sent me high into
The heavens,...
Just trying to reach infinity for you
Flying with whispered wind
Feeling a little low
Knowing that you know
I grow transparent with every
Saturated spill of words
Babble is all that comes through
As my awe for you grew
"Would you like to dance?"
Is all my stunted stupid self
Could muster to such a beautiful girl
I turn to walk myself into rejection
When a quiet "sure" permeated and
Drowned the dazing music to exile
A flirtatious smile sent me high into
The heavens,...

Merry Christmas
Everyone wants to live forever
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...

Fate
Haunting my dreams
I see you every night
Relentlessly stalking
'Til the morning light
We were never meant
To ever be apart
Fate had different ideas
Untying our fetterred hearts
Days are no different
I see your face in everyone I meet
As I aimlessly wander
Through the surging streets
Wishing you beside me
Just one more time
To gaze into your eyes
To hold your hand in mine
Instead I'm carrying flowers
That I never gave
That horrible day
You were taken away
...
I see you every night
Relentlessly stalking
'Til the morning light
We were never meant
To ever be apart
Fate had different ideas
Untying our fetterred hearts
Days are no different
I see your face in everyone I meet
As I aimlessly wander
Through the surging streets
Wishing you beside me
Just one more time
To gaze into your eyes
To hold your hand in mine
Instead I'm carrying flowers
That I never gave
That horrible day
You were taken away
...

Lust
We melted into thick fog
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die

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...
