Sleeping
You're happy here,
Your shine strains my sight,
Try with all my might,
But I'm blinded by the light.
I can hear you,
Singing your glorious song,
Nothing is ever wrong,
Singing your song...
Keep your voice down,
If you find my resting place,
Don't let me lose the look,
Etched across her face,
Don't drag me away,
From this beautiful place.
You're healthy here,
A beat that cannot be bashed out of tune,
From destruction and pain you are now immune,
Listen, children,
Can you hear the song?
Listen to...
Your shine strains my sight,
Try with all my might,
But I'm blinded by the light.
I can hear you,
Singing your glorious song,
Nothing is ever wrong,
Singing your song...
Keep your voice down,
If you find my resting place,
Don't let me lose the look,
Etched across her face,
Don't drag me away,
From this beautiful place.
You're healthy here,
A beat that cannot be bashed out of tune,
From destruction and pain you are now immune,
Listen, children,
Can you hear the song?
Listen to...

Redefined
Fragments of a soul Ive been eager to fix,
Gritty truths thrown in the mix,
I've seen the way the moonlight tricks me,
Exposed the way your beauty hexed me.
I fitted the last piece of the puzzle today,
And it's redefined,
What I think I knew,
What I see in you.
Don't be shy if you want to visit,
Knock loud and clear,
Can't promise once I lock up,
That you'll be safe here,
But you like living on the edge,
Lying is the only pledge,
You took to heart.
I fitted the last piece of the puzzle today,
Hooray, hooray,...
Gritty truths thrown in the mix,
I've seen the way the moonlight tricks me,
Exposed the way your beauty hexed me.
I fitted the last piece of the puzzle today,

Don't be shy if you want to visit,

That you'll be safe here,
But you like living on the edge,
Lying is the only pledge,
You took to heart.

Hooray, hooray,...

Spaces
Derailed, unhinged,
Descriptively off balanced,
It's essentially my diagnosis, from self-proclaimed docs and nurses,
Narcissists pick and choose,
Sickening,
Depicting,
A broken spirit, damage done,
Nothing can be done with this one,
Throw him out with all the rest of the whiny, attention seeking scum.
Smoke from the fire fills the air,
I once was burning,
Now I'm turning,
Into a burned out flare.
I see these faces,
Fill these spaces,
Can they help me understand,
What evil creatures stalk this land?
I can't...

(I Just Wish I Had) A Few Hours More
Doves fly,
Ocean waves,
Children laugh,
The clouds drift,
Tick tock,
Of the clock,
People smile,
And people cry,
Hope sings,
It's tragic song,
To the tick tock,
Of life's clock.
People love,
People die,
You'll never know,
How happy I was,
When it was just you and I,
Love beating on,
To the tick tock,
Of life's cruel clock.
I just wish,
I had a few hours more,
To look into your eyes,
And see into your soul,
I just wish,
I had a few hours more,
To hold you one last time,...

Not This Time
I can't,
No, I wont,
Go through that again.
I can't,
I just won't,
live through that again.
I think I know what its like
To be happy
I felt it once, for a short time,
And then it flew out the back door,
With my courage,
I've hidden from it since,
But not this time.
I miss it now,
Miss it so,
I'll find it again,
Won't escape me,
Not this time.
I'll find you dear,
The reason to smile,
I'll take you with me,
And make it worth while,
And I will not be broken,
For someone else's sake,...
No, I wont,
Go through that again.
I can't,
I just won't,
live through that again.
I think I know what its like
To be happy
I felt it once, for a short time,
And then it flew out the back door,
With my courage,
I've hidden from it since,
But not this time.

Won't escape me,
Not this time.

And make it worth while,
And I will not be broken,

Fate And It's Cruel Grasp
Rooted to the spot,
Fear gripped?
Or do I just know that I'm not worthy?
Don't think about what I can be,
Just leads to disappointing misery,
Stuck in a rut,
Did I fall in or dig it around me?
Falling into...
Falling into...
Fate,
And it's cruel grasp,
Pushed into...
Pushed into...
Fate,
And it's cruel grasp,
Or am I just a self inflicted injury?
Am I just a self destructed prodigy?
Jumping into...
Jumping into...
Defeated, Dejected,
Jumping into...
Jumping into...
Fate,
And it's...
Fear gripped?
Or do I just know that I'm not worthy?
Don't think about what I can be,
Just leads to disappointing misery,
Stuck in a rut,
Did I fall in or dig it around me?
Falling into...

Pushed into...

Perspective
How does a soul,
Wasted and spoiled,
Dusty and soiled,
Find its way,
Through the torment,
In this moment,
To the end of pain and peace,
And to nothing,
I find myself drifting,
Into nothing,
I find myself fighting,
It's all a matter of perspective.
Blood runs through these veins,
As all the good gets drained,
Freezing my resolve,
Chance to evolve,
To the battlefield,
I will never yield,
Into nothing,
I find myself drifting,
Into nothing,
I find myself fighting,
It's all a matter of...
Wasted and spoiled,
Dusty and soiled,
Find its way,
Through the torment,
In this moment,
To the end of pain and peace,
And to nothing,
I find myself drifting,
Into nothing,
I find myself fighting,
It's all a matter of perspective.
Blood runs through these veins,
As all the good gets drained,
Freezing my resolve,
Chance to evolve,
To the battlefield,
I will never yield,

Thinking About Loving You
When I see your face, girl,
Your eyes make me smile,
And when I think of you,
I could think for miles and miles,
I'm playing the game called love and you could be the prize,
But what if all I win is a life of hurt and lies?
Is it time to pull up my sleeves and give this a try?
Will all the laughs I share with you be worth the times we cry?
Been here before,
A very long time ago,
And after it all,
I had nothing left to show,
So now my thought process is going back and fore,
When I'm thinking about loving you.
Sometimes life...
Your eyes make me smile,
And when I think of you,
I could think for miles and miles,
I'm playing the game called love and you could be the prize,
But what if all I win is a life of hurt and lies?
Is it time to pull up my sleeves and give this a try?
Will all the laughs I share with you be worth the times we cry?
Been here before,
A very long time ago,
And after it all,
I had nothing left to show,
So now my thought process is going back and fore,
When I'm thinking about loving you.
Sometimes life...

Throw Your Stones
Sound the horn,
Throw your stones,
Rally cry,
Sneaky smile,
Take your aim,
Make it good,
Right on target,
Here is a friendly warning,
If you do decide to play,
You better hope that I don't get back up,
You better hope that I'm not still standing,
When all you have left is dust in your hands,
And I have nothing to lose.
Here's what they call a counter strike,
Smash,
Crash,
With all my might,
You choose your path of destruction,
That path always leads to,
Self destruction,
Or self destruction by...
Throw your stones,
Rally cry,
Sneaky smile,
Take your aim,
Make it good,
Right on target,
Here is a friendly warning,
If you do decide to play,
You better hope that I don't get back up,
You better hope that I'm not still standing,
When all you have left is dust in your hands,
And I have nothing to lose.
Here's what they call a counter strike,
Smash,
Crash,
With all my might,
You choose your path of destruction,
That path always leads to,
Self destruction,
Or self destruction by...

Entry Denied
Entry denied,
Entry denied,
Oh well, never mind, at least you tried,
Loads have failed, some have cried,
Don't need you by her side,
You just want her,
No, you need her,
But she won't change her mind,
Entry denied.
She's shut the doors,
Physical and emotional,
She's locked the windows,
Mentally and definitely,
She knows what she wants,
What she's looking for,
You think whst you have is extraordinary,
She thinks what you have is only ordinary.

Avalanche
It's tumbling down
With gathering speed
Run for your life
Run before you bleed
Run before you suffocate
Run and open up the gate
Run or be crushed under the weight
Of the established cruel call of fate
The Avalanche is coming,
The Avalanche is coming,
The Avalanche is coming.
Once it starts it never ends
Once it hits the gate it twists and bends,
It's way into the fields below, so they become fields of snow,
The snow spreads panic,
The people getting manic,
Bring out the digger,
The snow is getting bigger,...
With gathering speed
Run for your life
Run before you bleed
Run before you suffocate
Run and open up the gate
Run or be crushed under the weight
Of the established cruel call of fate
The Avalanche is coming,
The Avalanche is coming,
The Avalanche is coming.
Once it starts it never ends
Once it hits the gate it twists and bends,
It's way into the fields below, so they become fields of snow,
The snow spreads panic,
The people getting manic,

Hands Unchained
Locked in a prison of my own transgressions
Fighting in a cage against myself
I'll break into a new transmission
Put my demons back on the shelf
Crush these chains into dust,
Crush your spirit too, if I must,
With my hands unchained,
I will break the pain,
With a hurricane.
With my hands unchained,
I will send you down,
I'll rip off your crown.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the monster at this ball?
Am I really at the edge,
Ready to jump off the ledge?
Is this what I truly am?
Self destructive,...
Fighting in a cage against myself
I'll break into a new transmission
Put my demons back on the shelf
Crush these chains into dust,
Crush your spirit too, if I must,
With my hands unchained,
I will break the pain,
With a hurricane.
With my hands unchained,
I will send you down,
I'll rip off your crown.
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who's the monster at this ball?
Am I really at the edge,
Ready to jump off the ledge?
Is this what I truly am?
