Waiting In The Rain
Waiting in the rain
I stand here thinking of you again
what pain remained
tainted and stained
The last of my love stretched and strained
bottled and closed up again
behind a fortress wall restrained
drowned by tears of rain
the pain remains
As I stand here waiting in the rain
I stand here thinking of you again
what pain remained
tainted and stained
The last of my love stretched and strained
bottled and closed up again
behind a fortress wall restrained
drowned by tears of rain
the pain remains
As I stand here waiting in the rain

Mask of Your Former Happiness
You wear a mask for so long you begin to forget
the person you are beneath it
We all wear masks to hide the faces we don't
want people to see
Some of us hide what we are feeling so well
that the mask consumes you
All the hate, anger, fear and insecurity
becomes an everyday shell
And inside this shell is comfort and security
from the monsters lying under your bed
You become afraid of moving on and opening
your heart again
Because getting hurt by the people that you love
hurts deeply
So you weep and weep till the tears dry out
of...

To Live Without Love Surely Is a Tragedy
What has become of me
when careless thoughts enter thee
that to live without love
surely is a tragedy
When nothing else pleases me
and death seems reasonably
that to die without love
surely is a tragedy
when careless thoughts enter thee
that to live without love
surely is a tragedy
When nothing else pleases me
and death seems reasonably
that to die without love
surely is a tragedy

Wreckage of the Dying
Envy
a longing that sunk within the
captivity of my heart
Pulsed anxiously every vein that coursed
my body
Life seemed as if it were an inanimate object
set upon a shelf to collect dust
and so I sat there upon my chair restricted
and confined
Thoughts began to fade out of existence
once again
Oh how I yearned to sail once more
across the ocean
Oh I long to breathe the outside air
into my lungs
Woe to this wreckage this vessel which
holds my weary spirit
I lay like that of sunken remnant of yesterday
If I were...

Alone
The fog settled neatly above and beneath
veiling the streets
It densely hovered in and around town
walking was difficult
I could hear something machine like in the
distance coming closer
Something flapping and fluttering
like sticks snapping
Not even my shadow followed me into the
foggy unknown
I was alone in the cold damp wetness of
the fog
Alone
veiling the streets
It densely hovered in and around town
walking was difficult
I could hear something machine like in the
distance coming closer
Something flapping and fluttering
like sticks snapping
Not even my shadow followed me into the
foggy unknown
I was alone in the cold damp wetness of
the fog
Alone

Apolgies and Flowers
I was not myself lastnight. I cried silently within while my mind
raced frantically to think what was best for my own sake. I felt
like I had been swept ashore and shipwrecked from an ocean of thoughts in my head. I felt every part of my being ccollapsing in on itself suffocating me thin of air. I was deeply troubled and the more I fed my loneliness and depression the more fearful I became of myself. I cursed the heavens for giving me this life. I cursed God himself. I almost lost all sense of reasoning out the consequences of giving into the pain. I just feel so god damn lost and...

Sleepless
Sleepless stirs whispering
jolting my bones awake
stirring the transitioning
of sleep into a deep state
waking me shaking me
lively in a violent bliss
stranding me motionless
in a heightened paralysis
jolting my bones awake
stirring the transitioning
of sleep into a deep state
waking me shaking me
lively in a violent bliss
stranding me motionless
in a heightened paralysis

Black Sands of Iceland
Across the frost covered landscapes of Iceland
vast stretches of black sand seemed ancient
the beauty my eyes inhaled breathed solace
a peace I've never found anywhere else on earth
Beyond a short setting horizon night winced a wink
before the sun shined again to light the day
such an auspicious and haunting array
casting me shadowless
vast stretches of black sand seemed ancient
the beauty my eyes inhaled breathed solace
a peace I've never found anywhere else on earth
Beyond a short setting horizon night winced a wink
before the sun shined again to light the day
such an auspicious and haunting array

Dark Side of the Earth
I am not without apprehensions
yet in the fog of resolve
I hear the clinking and clanking of chains
swishing across the ground
echoing howls of revolution
It is there in the air
that the present is gasping to breathe
a future for me to receive
and forthwillingly I go
yet in the fog of resolve
I hear the clinking and clanking of chains
swishing across the ground
echoing howls of revolution
It is there in the air
that the present is gasping to breathe
a future for me to receive
and forthwillingly I go

Declaration of the Soul
Free at last from the chains of
unwanted understanding
and love how long I have
waited to reclaim
my soul's companion
In the dark I heard your
voice call in my dreams
and in it I searched for the form
whose shadow I could not
touch but there
in the stark black coldness of the dark
I felt you
It was dark no longer and my
heart was awake
for the first time
in a long time that where an eternity
of heartache seemed like
that of a prison
now illuminates a light
before me and I
breathe these moments in
My...
