Cast the Light
Make a wish, set your goals
Do not ever relinquish control
The beauty of an individual lies in their soul
We merely seek to set the pieces whole.
I am a creature of habit and ambition
And though I struggle against daily temptation
I will not lower myself to the popular position
It is in my bones not to bow down into submission.
I will decide whether to trust my sight
I will endure this misery with all of my might
I have nothing to lose since I will win this fight
Since I have been entrusted to cast the light.
Do not ever relinquish control

We merely seek to set the pieces whole.
I am a creature of habit and ambition
And though I struggle against daily temptation
I will not lower myself to the popular position

I will decide whether to trust my sight
I will endure this misery with all of my might
I have nothing to lose since I will win this fight
Since I have been entrusted to cast the light.

I Don't Give a Damn
I'm my own master
I'll bring back the good times
I've got the power
To start this long climb.
I am ready for what life throws at me
I see clearly the path that I must take
Whether I soar low or high; I’ll always reach the sky
Because I was born ready to undo my mistake.
I don’t give a damn what you say
Rumors have spread like wildfire
You’ve mind up your mind anyway
You jab at my beliefs and even my attire.
I'll bring back the good times
I've got the power
To start this long climb.
I am ready for what life throws at me
I see clearly the path that I must take
Whether I soar low or high; I’ll always reach the sky
Because I was born ready to undo my mistake.
I don’t give a damn what you say
Rumors have spread like wildfire
You’ve mind up your mind anyway
You jab at my beliefs and even my attire.

Wild and Soft
I am the energy that seeks to nurture
Empowered by the radiance of our celestial mother
I lead my existence with a primordial purpose
Like the ocean depths, there’s more to me beneath the surface.
I can’t stay still; my energy seeks to be complete
And once it is, life has never tasted so sweet
I can be the light and the guiding voice
To lead you to salvation and eternal rejoice.
I find refuge amongst the trees
And sweet Luna’s the guiding light for me
In this strange new world that I wonder through alone
For an ancient sin...
Empowered by the radiance of our celestial mother

Hold That Card
Breathe life into me; make me spill all my secrets
You’d like to hold that card as your ultimate weapon
I feel so dead, though my heat still beats; Will you share some heat?
To thaw out my frozen soul; or will you doom me to never feel whole?
You twist and turn my words and actions
Yet fail to understand why there’s a chain of reactions
You’ve lost the possibility to hold that card
I’ve regained my liberty, though I had fought hard.
You’d like to hold that card as your ultimate weapon
I feel so dead, though my heat still beats; Will you share some heat?
To thaw out my frozen soul; or will you doom me to never feel whole?
You twist and turn my words and actions

You’ve lost the possibility to hold that card

One of a Kind
Light is dark; dark is light
Two wrongs will never make a right
The past was then; the present is now
A fruitful future is what I’ll achieve somehow.
I stare into the mirror at my solemn reflection
Wondering when I’ll complete my resurrection
I’ve burned in the fires of hell, and laid frozen in purgatory
Don’t close my book yet; there are more chapters in my story.
I am a human and a higher being
I have purpose both in waking life and when I’m dreaming
There’s infinite power within the recesses of my mind
Everyone’s unique,...

I Watch You from Afar
I watch you from afar
I love having you so vibrant and near
You stand out for you are a rising star
You are beautiful whether you smile or shed tears.
You’ve blossomed into a beautiful flower
Your presence strikes a chord within me like a guitar
Within your heart lies a special power
That’s enchanted me even when I watch you from afar.
I love having you so vibrant and near
You stand out for you are a rising star

Clean
Our existence continuously spins in a wheel
Between morality and corruption lies a thin line
I know exactly what it is that I want to feel
Warm to the core in this pool of liquid sunshine.
Fresh and clean; that is how I want to be
Purge me of these toxins that have infested me
I no longer want to itch from being dirty
Cleanse me of sins to set my soul free.
Between morality and corruption lies a thin line

Think Twice
People appear bright until they start to speak
That’s because light travels faster than sound
It’s often thought the quiet ones who merely meek
But we’re the ones who mostly have both feet on the ground.
Think twice before you talk, before you act, before you judge
I won’t be the one dragging you through the mud
Some people learn fast; others learn the hard way
Don’t be surprised when you hear what I have to say.
Intelligent people are full of doubts; stupid ones are full of confidence
Their motto is to act first and ask questions later...

Hate Me
Is it being egotistical if I actually have self-worth?
That doesn’t seem logical, but then again, I’ve been called worse
They say that I’m crazy; that I make no sense
What you see is what you get, baby; I don’t have to pretend.
Go ahead and hate me, curse me; set your worse upon me
You’ll never destroy me, oh sigh; it’s just a waste of time
You claim that I’m cold and don’t care; bitch, I’ll be your nightmare
Cut me up, and see that I still bleed; so go ahead and hate me.
What makes you think that I value your opinion?
Look at your...

Lost
This world wind of a life has become stationary
I was once full of love, but it has dried up to dust
This weight on my shoulders is too much to carry
They said hard work will pay off, yet I paid a high cost.
There’s no dream worth dying for
Not when you’re left with nothing when you used to have more
It’s not just material goods; nothing within remains
Only a hollow shell in agonizing pain.
I’m feeling so lost and aggrieved
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Where was the light when the darkness arrived?
Nowhere to be seen...
I was once full of love, but it has dried up to dust
This weight on my shoulders is too much to carry

There’s no dream worth dying for
Not when you’re left with nothing when you used to have more
It’s not just material goods; nothing within remains
Only a hollow shell in agonizing pain.
I’m feeling so lost and aggrieved
I don’t know who I’m supposed to be
Where was the light when the darkness arrived?

After Dark
Oh, blessed child, you wonder the world in search of adventure
Your nature is soft and wild, and undoubtedly pure
There’s wisdom in your gaze full of tales untold
In the blink of an eye I see your heart of gold.
Who will you become after dark?
Are you satisfied with ashes, or do you need a spark?
To light things up, get up and run
The world is at your fingertips for you are the sun.
Rise and shine, don’t let your flames die
Come on, spread your wings; it’s time to fly
Embrace your true self after dark
Come reclaim your jackpot...
Your nature is soft and wild, and undoubtedly pure
There’s wisdom in your gaze full of tales untold
In the blink of an eye I see your heart of gold.
Who will you become after dark?
Are you satisfied with ashes, or do you need a spark?
To light things up, get up and run
The world is at your fingertips for you are the sun.
Rise and shine, don’t let your flames die
Come on, spread your wings; it’s time to fly
Embrace your true self after dark
Come reclaim your jackpot...

To the Max
I’m pushing to the max, but it’s never enough
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?
My fragile sanity's the last control I refuse to relinquish.
Fate, destiny, karmic debt
They’re a bunch of lies, and you’re merely a pest
It was my stupidity that lent you that power
What should have been sweet has left a taste that’s sour.
You push me to the max, way past my limit
I say “I’ve had enough,” but you never listen
You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?
My fragile sanity's the last control I refuse to relinquish.
Fate, destiny, karmic debt
They’re a bunch of lies, and you’re merely a pest
It was my stupidity that lent you that power
What should have been sweet has left a taste that’s sour.
You push me to the max, way past my limit
I say “I’ve had enough,” but you never listen
You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...
