To Be A Bird
The wind beneath me
Curling into the folds of my wings
Feathers fluttering in a downward spiral
Falling under my moving shadow
The wind carrying me beyond the horizon
To the place where heaven kisses earth
And my little wings carry me forth
Over busy streets and solitary forests
Over crashing waves and trickling streams
The sky carrying me in a downy dream
Curling into the folds of my wings
Feathers fluttering in a downward spiral
Falling under my moving shadow
The wind carrying me beyond the horizon
To the place where heaven kisses earth
And my little wings carry me forth
Over busy streets and solitary forests
Over crashing waves and trickling streams
The sky carrying me in a downy dream

Lonely thoughts
I find myself here again
At a crossroads
With an uncertain mind
All that exists is the before
The now and future hold little
Value to me anymore
Slowly everything just whittles
Away, again and again
Sometimes I wonder
If it’ll be better
Once the endless cycle stops
At a crossroads
With an uncertain mind
All that exists is the before
The now and future hold little
Value to me anymore
Slowly everything just whittles
Away, again and again
Sometimes I wonder
If it’ll be better
Once the endless cycle stops

Revolution
The halcyon days were great and grand
When someone could talk without fear of animadversion
When the incendiary sparks of devious intentions were non existent
But over time it all fell apart
Malicious intent accosted the foundations of society
And tore down the pillars of propriety
Summarily leaving all that was grand in a pejorative state
The wounds turned to open sores as injustice swelled
The pains of change undulated to the rhythmic beat of despair
Giving birth to a maelstrom of hate that brought all into disrepair
The heads of state became...

A war
The bombs fall
Like rain in the wind
With you trying to crawl
Against this human sin
The ground quakes
As explosions rock the earth
Your nerves begin to shake
You don't know what’s coming first
Fighting for love and country
For the dreams of a nation
But does it justify this wanton brutality?
Does it justify this bloodlust compulsion?
You close your eyes shut
Hoping to go back home
In the distance you hear a thump
Where it was, who knows?
You made friends till the end
Brothers in arms
Who...
Like rain in the wind
With you trying to crawl
Against this human sin
The ground quakes
As explosions rock the earth
Your nerves begin to shake
You don't know what’s coming first
Fighting for love and country
For the dreams of a nation
But does it justify this wanton brutality?
Does it justify this bloodlust compulsion?
You close your eyes shut
Hoping to go back home
In the distance you hear a thump
Where it was, who knows?
You made friends till the end
Brothers in arms

A place in heaven
I want to go where the wind blows free
Where the green trees sway in the breeze
And where the sun shines through clouds of grey
Casting shadows against its rays
A place where I can get lost
And still find myself
Where the green grass is an ocean
And the fields are crashing waves
Where the water is sweet honey
And the air is pure
A place in heaven is where i want to be
Where the green trees sway in the breeze
And where the sun shines through clouds of grey
Casting shadows against its rays
A place where I can get lost
And still find myself
Where the green grass is an ocean
And the fields are crashing waves
Where the water is sweet honey
And the air is pure
A place in heaven is where i want to be

Drowning
Below the frozen ice
Drowning under the cold sun
Feeling the depths pull
Dreading the end that is to come
Suffocating
Being pulled apart
Breaking piece by piece
Cracking under the pressure
Fissures forming
Imploding
Frozen
Broken
Lost
Drowning under the cold sun
Feeling the depths pull
Dreading the end that is to come
Suffocating
Being pulled apart
Breaking piece by piece
Cracking under the pressure
Fissures forming
Imploding
Frozen
Broken
Lost

Wanting
I feel your touch against my skin
And your kiss against my lips
With your hand clasped in mine
It's just a perfect paradise
And then I open my eyes
And your kiss against my lips
With your hand clasped in mine
It's just a perfect paradise
And then I open my eyes

Deflowering of Paradise
Flowing streams running dry
Solid green leaves turning black
Smoke shrouding the blue sky
The dirt turning to clay
Lives being thrown away in vain
Lovely life inside paradise
Living for one true god
Mocking them all
Worshiping one true king
With witless witnesses
Living a life of lies
Corrupting their ideological ideas
Lovely life inside paradise
Lovely time in regicide
A white flower being plucked
Turning its petals to black
Its shade being sucked
Withering into little bits of dust
Being thrown...
Solid green leaves turning black
Smoke shrouding the blue sky
The dirt turning to clay
Lives being thrown away in vain
Lovely life inside paradise
Living for one true god
Mocking them all
Worshiping one true king
With witless witnesses
Living a life of lies
Corrupting their ideological ideas
Lovely life inside paradise
Lovely time in regicide
A white flower being plucked
Turning its petals to black
Its shade being sucked
Withering into little bits of dust

Cracks
Rust gathering at the edges
Frozen in a state of disuse
Feeling the cracks moving from within
Born of distaste and abuse
Cracking and dissolving
Falling into decay
Feeling the cracks forming into one
Crumbling at the slightest chance
Piece by piece being chipped away
Without pause or delay
One by one they fall
Until the whole is rendered none
Feeling the cracks form separate ones
Frozen in a state of disuse
Feeling the cracks moving from within
Born of distaste and abuse
Cracking and dissolving
Falling into decay
Feeling the cracks forming into one
Crumbling at the slightest chance
Piece by piece being chipped away
Without pause or delay
One by one they fall
Until the whole is rendered none
Feeling the cracks form separate ones

Dreams
Butterflies fluttering in the wind
On their little gilded wings
Scattering in the air
Blowing away
Flying astray
Little echoes of consciousness
On their little gilded wings
Scattering in the air
Blowing away
Flying astray
Little echoes of consciousness

Reflections
Bottomless pit hit bottom
The lowest of my low is my high
My worst is my perfection
Lying to myself to say the truth
Staying in silence as I scream
Staring into the void as I close my eyes
Feeling the black as I lose my senses
Engulfing me as I grow
Destroying me as I regenerate
Completing me as I decay
One and the two are the same
Mere reflections
The lowest of my low is my high
My worst is my perfection
Lying to myself to say the truth
Staying in silence as I scream
Staring into the void as I close my eyes
Feeling the black as I lose my senses
Engulfing me as I grow
Destroying me as I regenerate
Completing me as I decay
One and the two are the same
Mere reflections

Inner Self
Innocent and hopeless
Locked beneath an ocean
Of his own creation
Trying to swim, trying to swim
Just a simple cripple
Trying to rise
Against his demise
Trying to stay relevant
Just trying to stay alive
Caught in a fire
Rising inside his shell
His own self made hell
He tries to expel
His inner demons
Losing all reason
Losing his mind
Falling into self treason
Falling through the cracks
Of his sanity
Locked beneath an ocean
Of his own creation
Trying to swim, trying to swim
Just a simple cripple
Trying to rise
Against his demise
Trying to stay relevant
Just trying to stay alive
Caught in a fire
Rising inside his shell
His own self made hell
He tries to expel
His inner demons
Losing all reason
Losing his mind
Falling into self treason
Falling through the cracks
Of his sanity
