Where, oh, where have you been my love?
Where, oh, where can you be?
It's been so long, since the moon has gone.
and oh what a wreck you've made me

Are you there, over the ocean?
Are you there, up in the sky?
Until the return of my love
This lullaby

My Hope is on the horizon
Every face, it's your eyes I can see
I plead, I pray through each night and day
Our embrace is only a dream.

And as sure as days come from moments
Each hour becomes a life's time
When she'd left, I'd only begun this lullaby

Wall

Too many walls reside over this land
We pay for them, Cherish them
Hide behind them and collect them

I build my wall from the outside in
seeking refuge from my lies
heart ache and dictated emotions
Build higher, build thick
I don't want to see the space I carved

One day, I will build a door
and show another builder
what color the paint is
Until this day
drywall, wood, brick and stone
is my life

Each morning i wake fresh
With a new unwrapped body
Breathing, living
Memories yet to arrive
By 12 my body's seems to remember
why it is so incomplete

Ripped, handsome, tall, funny
not enough to see your flesh
Dinner time rolls around
and I've been decaying
Memories of what was once there
Spoil my pristine corpse

What gets me by is knowing
tomorrow I will be fresh

Drops of beer, screaming always tomorrow...
Living here, right now wrapping my soul in your  thoughts
thoughts of crying out in a longing protective sigh
infinity has lied

Time that God itself has blessed
demand i move into happiness
Does time know, I have cursed at the sun to howl at the moon?
Given everything to have nothing

My mental flesh cut by simple words of sharp consequences
a heart scarred where signed
Let me be a feather on your rising omnipresent wings
Dreams of being a slingshot to my rock
There is always tomorrow......
