The Storm (By Lifehouse)
How long have I been in this storm?
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be alright
If I'd see you
This darkness will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become...
So overwhelmed by the ocean's shapeless form
Water's getting harder to tread
With these waves crashing over my head
If I could just see you
Everything would be alright
If I'd see you
This darkness will turn to light
And I will walk on water
And you will catch me if I fall
And I will get lost into your eyes
I know everything will be alright
I know everything is alright
I know you didn't bring me out here to drown
So why am I ten feet under and upside down?
Barely surviving has become...

The Tree Hugger
leaning against a tree
messaging a friend
absent-mindedly she gently patted the tree trunk
the breeze
the breeze was a colour
the colour of its sound
and the sound was the scent of dappled canary sunlight..
leaning against the tree
she began to feel in the strange flow
a tree as ancient as english pagan wisdom
the bark as soft as parchment of an ancient scroll
the bark as cool-warm as triptychs kissed by summer solstice
the bark as flowing as the secret river under the pyramids of giza
the bark as mysterious as the woman...

The road outside
The road outside
The dark within
The devil hides
Now I begin
The stars and sky
The nightmare ends
The monsters die
The wounds will mend
The tears I cried
Blow in the wind
The horse I ride
Here once again
The Angels fly
The people sin
The truth a lie
A loss a win
The road outside
The dark within
The devil hides
Now I begin
The stars...
The dark within
The devil hides
Now I begin
The stars and sky
The nightmare ends
The monsters die
The wounds will mend
The tears I cried
Blow in the wind
The horse I ride
Here once again
The Angels fly
The people sin
The truth a lie
A loss a win
The road outside
The dark within
The devil hides
Now I begin

We'll Be Free
Be your own hero
Be who you be
Waiting for summer
And a time to be free
Be all that you can
With all you got
Today don’t be afraid
To give it a shot
Remember to love
To love a whole lot
Mostly remember
To love what you got
Cuz' you'll be my friend
'n I'll be yours
And we'll all be friends
It's a part of the cause
And we'll all be friends
Just wait and see
Whatever the weather
You and I, we'll be free
Whatever the weather
You and I, we'll be free
...
Be who you be
Waiting for summer
And a time to be free
Be all that you can
With all you got
Today don’t be afraid
To give it a shot
Remember to love
To love a whole lot
Mostly remember
To love what you got
Cuz' you'll be my friend
'n I'll be yours
And we'll all be friends
It's a part of the cause
And we'll all be friends
Just wait and see
Whatever the weather
You and I, we'll be free
Whatever the weather
You and I, we'll be free

I Sit Alone
Scars left on my soul
chasing dreams tossed
but remain
closing in is the night...
I sit alone
following close is my past
plans banished away
dying inside
I need to be found
starting to fade
life left me afraid
of what may not be
did I dream you
last night
were you really there...
is it just memories
is my heart really breaking
Oh, tell me
where are you now
screaming out loud
these tears that I hate
they don't abate
I sit alone
chasing dreams tossed
but remain
closing in is the night...
I sit alone
following close is my past
plans banished away
dying inside
I need to be found
starting to fade
life left me afraid
of what may not be
did I dream you
last night
were you really there...
is it just memories
is my heart really breaking
Oh, tell me
where are you now
screaming out loud
these tears that I hate
they don't abate
I sit alone

Heal the missing gloss,
As they were held within the pack
and through the mist,
silhouette's, still freeze
and onward trot.
Bodhram drum, stretched skin
form the backdrop,
knit the patterns.
Gods may turn and look
for the pole that beats,
like the metronomes tick.
Burn the wick, short in the lantern
raise the heartbeat, pulse the veins.
Antecedence, walk with us in greying form.
Upon the runes with polished gleam
hidden everyday, that nature writes,
winds laid deep, our stalker match our stride.
Terms. the acapalla's earthy base, ...
and through the mist,
silhouette's, still freeze
and onward trot.
Bodhram drum, stretched skin
form the backdrop,
knit the patterns.
Gods may turn and look

like the metronomes tick.
Burn the wick, short in the lantern
raise the heartbeat, pulse the veins.
Antecedence, walk with us in greying form.
Upon the runes with polished gleam
hidden everyday, that nature writes,
winds laid deep, our stalker match our stride.
Terms. the acapalla's earthy base, ...

Foolish Heart
My heart beats like a drum
Your love is like a drug
Of which I always succumb
You appeared out of thin air
And I wasn't aware
That I'd stripped myself bare
In withdrawal from you
I was oblivious to the truth
Stuck in a purple haze
Drowning in bars of blue
Thanks to my foolish heart
I let love tear me apart
Thanks to my foolish heart
I let love tear me apart
Should I follow my heart or my head
My eyes glow red
I still remember every word you said
We felt like such a match
But with all the...

You appeared out of thin air

I was oblivious to the truth
Stuck in a purple haze
Drowning in bars of blue
Thanks to my foolish heart
I let love tear me apart
Thanks to my foolish heart
I let love tear me apart
Should I follow my heart or my head
My eyes glow red
I still remember every word you said
We felt like such a match

Angelina Ballerina
In bed with Angelina..
Wake up with a ballerina..
Time to settle the difference..
Who dances with the Ballerina?
Who's gonna miss this chance?
The Battered Pervert or the genius product from Harvard?
As I rhyme..
Especially with this pistol..
My rhythm, beats alters two others.. ...

High
I'm up in the sky
Flying high
Don't know whether to laugh or cry
I dont wanna live or die
I just do it to get by
Tell me why
Tell me why
Roll it up
Break it down
Breathe in, breathe out
Are you feeling it now
Are you feeling it now
It ain't wrong and it ain't right
A fire light in the dark of the night
Makes me burn so bright
I dont have to fight
So tell me
Is it wrong or is it right
Roll it up
Break it down
Breathe in, breathe out
Are you feeling it now
Are...

Galician Melody Reborn
Galician Melody Reborn
When the Beowulf and Canterbury Tales
were being written Acoma was built
atop a 400-foot mesa.
But when we serenaded lovers young and old,
leaving moccasin prints on the dust of ages past,
we had already played our duet for countless lifetimes.
My wife was an Indian Gwynevere
and I her Lancelot.
My matriarchal lover kept me
too busy illustrating the megaliths
with petroglyphs to even practice archery

Embers Poised Upon The Fiery Horizon Like A High Wire Act
Echoes of sunlight gently elucidate
the promenading staircase of your beguiling smile.
Time devoured and savored,
hands united in effortless flight;
gliding down from the highest cliff,
a vulnerable kiss is swept along by the wind
until finally planted upon a rosy cheek.
Serenade of serenades,
a switchbladed song cuts through the sky,
melody merely a cloak of rebellion
outfitted from the army of things
that childhood would not let us outgrow.
Your voice a symphony of extradimensional triumph,
your face the...
the promenading staircase of your beguiling smile.
Time devoured and savored,
hands united in effortless flight;
gliding down from the highest cliff,
a vulnerable kiss is swept along by the wind
until finally planted upon a rosy cheek.
