Perhaps
Perhaps giving hope to dreams
things may happen,
build your life for tomorrow
and live in the moment today.
Watch the darkness
it cannot hide the sky forever,
behind those bad times
the sun will still be shining.
things may happen,
build your life for tomorrow

Watch the darkness

The sword of hearts
If this is passive, very well, I'll go on the offensive
No girls breaking hearts here, promise
I'm not putting nothing straight anywhere
But I implore you, parasite, hear
The lecture has begun, sit down and shut up
I buy my metaphors
At the well of the muse herself
And unlike yours
Mine do not rot on a dry, untouched shelf
For my heart beats out a song that moves her
My metaphors are her gift for my song, that's how I get them, Sir
What have you ever done but haunted others?
So pompously, I laugh, cause yours is not one...
No girls breaking hearts here, promise
I'm not putting nothing straight anywhere
But I implore you, parasite, hear
The lecture has begun, sit down and shut up
I buy my metaphors
At the well of the muse herself
And unlike yours
Mine do not rot on a dry, untouched shelf
For my heart beats out a song that moves her
My metaphors are her gift for my song, that's how I get them, Sir
What have you ever done but haunted others?
So pompously, I laugh, cause yours is not one...

D-Day 75
I stood with the old men on the beach of harsh memories
Their past out of reach to me; history only they can see.
Looking back to the great attack
Landing craft abeam and abaft spilling fearful, determined men
Into blood churned waters of destruction
The waves, the undertow’s suction
Dragging comrades to their doom, men who only hours ago talked of home
Smoking and nervously joking
Thinking of loved ones left behind, their children crying as they are dying
Bullet pierced, torn by shrapnel shards or sinking down to drown
The helpless...
Their past out of reach to me; history only they can see.
Looking back to the great attack
Landing craft abeam and abaft spilling fearful, determined men
Into blood churned waters of destruction
The waves, the undertow’s suction
Dragging comrades to their doom, men who only hours ago talked of home
Smoking and nervously joking
Thinking of loved ones left behind, their children crying as they are dying
Bullet pierced, torn by shrapnel shards or sinking down to drown

i choose me
letting go of her doesn't feel too bad
i don't worry about how she'll react
i smile and i think of someone else
nothing is better than letting go of
the pain you've felt
i sometimes feel down but not because
i miss her, but because i miss what she
use to do for me....in the end she was
just using me
let go of that painful clutch
of holding on for what?
she turned into someone else
and i feel so free
no broken promises
no you and me
this time i come first
none of my words have
to be...
i don't worry about how she'll react

Let it All Be (instrumental by Mors)
I'm out here living this life
Its the only thing I know
Living it right not living it twice
Time ticks on to a close
Even if I could not understand it
I'm a man now but couldn't have planned this
Fill up my cup and Imma tipping it sideways
spread it on out, yeah, I'm riding it longways
Till it come back round
Still, I stay with the fat sound
Knocking at my door like they looking for more
Like I took it like a whore like I cook it in my core, yeah
-
I wanna be free, words I weave
I let it all be and ...

initsiativa
are you busy looking for reasons to loathe life and the world?
are you busy looking for reasons to love life and the world?
какая свобода хранится внутри?
turn the heart inside-out and see
the pulp of life shakes loose

I am Liam
I grew up irish hated by all
Half breed bastard among names they would call
My father american of a cheyenne tribe
My mother true irish of druedic scribe
Irish hated me for not being their own
All others hated me for the irish within
Beaten by grandmother for the fruit my father had sewn
Distained beating treated as the devils kin
Years i took this abuse til suddenly i was alone
Arrested for being who i was an nowhere to call home
Fight day in and out while incarcerated all ive known
Forced into military now the goverment...

You saved me
You saved me when no one would
When no one cared
Your smiles pored down on me
When everyone ignored me,
All your eyes followed me,
Invisible ones too
When no one shared with me,
You offered up your expensive love
When no one dared to be seen with me,
You were always on my side
When no one would say hello,
You greeted me enthusiastically
When no one saw who I was,
You saw the best in me
When everyone called me ugly
You found a pretty name to call me
When I fell and nobody picked me up,
You threw your things...
When no one cared
Your smiles pored down on me
When everyone ignored me,
All your eyes followed me,
Invisible ones too
When no one shared with me,
You offered up your expensive love
When no one dared to be seen with me,
You were always on my side
When no one would say hello,
You greeted me enthusiastically
When no one saw who I was,
You saw the best in me
When everyone called me ugly
You found a pretty name to call me
When I fell and nobody picked me up,
You threw your things...

Shadows
I need to love you
I want to be loved
All of me
Not
Just the part
Others are allowed see
I want to share with you
My dreams
Both dark
And light
For I am
Dichotomous
I am
A saint
And
A sinner
I am
Yin
And yang
I am
Sweet
Yet cruel
I am
Good
And evil
I am
Soft
But strong
There are secrets
To share
If you will listen
I have needs
You may not fulfill
I have desires
You may find ...

Mirrors
I've been in my head a lot lately, just letting the thoughts drift along the waves of my consciousness.
Letting myself feel the way the flow chooses.
More than anything I can feel myself isolating, becoming a slave to my awakened mind.
I see people,
numbers
days
moments,
times
and I analyze each segment under a microscope, revitalizing every morsel.
Torturing oneself in the venture to what I feared and blacked out.
I am learning that I've been for some time charging in while running out.

Wings
Before i die
I hope that you
Sing, be my
Shoulder some
People have wings.
Deep in to sleep
Having lucid dreams
Be my Shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Drowning in my
Conscious
Sinking fast as spring
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Death befor dishonor
I ponder in streams
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Hate before love
Is all that you mean
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
I hope that you
Sing, be my
Shoulder some
People have wings.
Deep in to sleep
Having lucid dreams
Be my Shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Drowning in my
Conscious
Sinking fast as spring
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Death befor dishonor
I ponder in streams
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
Hate before love
Is all that you mean
Be my shoulder
Some people
Have wings.
