Ball of String
Life unravles like a ball of string
Rolling down a hill
The ball gets smaller as it rolls
like a runaway wheel
It makes a trail of where you've been
Places that you've seen
Connects the beginning to the end
And everything between
Rolling down a hill
The ball gets smaller as it rolls
like a runaway wheel
It makes a trail of where you've been
Places that you've seen
Connects the beginning to the end
And everything between

Time's Mysteies
The History of you and me
Is a mystery you see
Could it be chance or destiny
That our existance came to be?
We can agree to disagree
Over mere tecnicalities
Fantasy or reality
Its all the same to me
We all walk our separate paths
Paved with tears, fears, and laughs
Some paths intersect eachother
Some paths turn into another
The future of both you and I
Is written in the stary sky
All the time that passes by
Is but a twinkling of an eye...

Let Me Fly
Running towards the edge of a cliff
Will I fall, or will I fly?
Will I tumble to the bottom?
Will I soar across the sky?
some people use a bungee
to keep them nice and safe
But it only serves to keep them in their place
So ill take my chances with these wings of hope
As I fly into the sun
If you see me through your telescope
just know I’m having fun
And if you see me flying by
don’t look upon me with a frown
for if I choose to stay in the sky
its because I wasn’t happy on the ground
Let me...

The Greatest
The greatest thing ive ever done in life
Was to make you laugh
The greatest moment in my life
Was when we two crossed paths
The greatest thing ive ever heard
Was your voice speak my name
It came in through my ears, erased my fears,
and ceased my pain
The greatest thing you've said to me
Was we'll always be friends
My greatest fear is only that
i'll never see you again
God's greatest miracle would be
to have you here again with me
But you're not here and that makes me sad
Because youre the greatest...

Peices of Time
Disembodied pieces of the past
cut through my mind like shattered glass
that I keep trampling over and over again
Its meaningless to try to grasp
something that will never last
What I thought was real turned out to be pretend
Inside my head is where im trapped
I bottle it up, one day ill snap
Reality is really not my friend
I feel Ive lived nine different lives
ended by nine different knives
it all ends up the same thing in the end
The old me dies and then surprise
Theres a new me thats alive
A new adventure ready to...

Heavenly Eyes and Hellish Goodbyes
I saw my heaven in your eyes
Those same eyes, i now dispise
I wear these shades as my disguise
So you cant see the hell in mine
My eyes from tears turn red as wine
My heart from fear tears down the shrine
I built for you inside my mind
I'll leave these ruins far behind
And walk this road that winds
Through life
Through love
Through time
Till my pain meets its demise
andI seenew sun rise
Those same eyes, i now dispise
I wear these shades as my disguise
So you cant see the hell in mine
My eyes from tears turn red as wine
My heart from fear tears down the shrine
I built for you inside my mind
I'll leave these ruins far behind
And walk this road that winds
Through life
Through love
Through time
Till my pain meets its demise
andI seenew sun rise

Hearts and Poison Darts
To see your face again
After all these years
Brings back so many feelings
Brings back so many tears
I remember as if it were yesterday
When my soul beheld the divine
I couldnt tear myself away
I had to make you mine
You were my first
You were my worst
My beautiful beloved curse
You were my joy
And sweetest sorrow
All our time together borrowed
You were too good to be true
Too good to love me back
You stole my heart from its secret place
And had it for a snack
...

Drum Circle
We danced upon the sand
the fevered drum beat took us all
with beer cans in our hands
we'll have a ball until we fall
where the ocean meets the sand
answering the syrens call
too much to comprehend
and I thought id seen it all
under the dying sun
lets spend some well invested time
in the hopes of buying fun
no need for nickle and the dime
no not a single one
these shells will suit my...

The Table
Save me a spot at the table
That streaches fom here to forever
And there i'll convene
With kings and queens
And toast golden goblets together
Save me a spot next to you
My good and virtuous friend
Well laugh and we'll share
A meal thats prepared
A glorious feast without end
For we are allpart ofthe wedding
Of his majesty and his bride
We saved you a plate
So don't be too late
I want you right here by my side

short words of advice
If the devil has left you alone
And bothers you no more
Then you must be doing something wrong
for he should be raging a war
For if like Job should be your guise
Then you wilt the devil despise
If at the door he bangs the wood
Then you my friend are doing good
And bothers you no more
Then you must be doing something wrong
for he should be raging a war
For if like Job should be your guise
Then you wilt the devil despise
If at the door he bangs the wood
Then you my friend are doing good

Clever Spell
I found a piece of heaven
That led me out of hell
The bars were bent and broken
So I climbed out of my cell
I poked my head out of that space
Like a turtle from its shell
When the sunlight touched my face
I knew that all was well
Oh yea she’s got the magic touch
Sometimes it’s just too much
Sometimes she’s my stumbling block
Quite often she’s my crutch
She’s the girl who came to stay
...

Death of Humanity
With a hushed soft voice the truth be told
While lies are spoken proud and bold
Forgotten are the wise and old
And blood is spilled on streets of gold
Wise and foolish are the same
In deaths cruel and funny game
For dirt cannot burry the shame
Unless they lose they cannot gain
the tables are set with joy and care
Yet with devils dine ye there
To ribbons doth the flag they tear
and gobble up. No speck they spare
Nor food they share, nor care give thee
A spectacle as this to...
