- Cemetery
I captured slow life and know it well like the back of my broken hands
We accept our solace cloaked as friendship gripped by time and modern man
A liar holds a fractured posture that says it best when nothing at all
Graced in patience and blessed with fear, scratching at my door
I can feel there's movement after fading grey and silence pass
like a shadow losing contrast as the night crawls over last
But life is surrounded by flowers in bloom, slowly dying, age is cursed and I'm trapped in a dark oak casket driven by a hearse. My eyes are filled with the years of regret, I can't take back
- D.R.E.A.M
Sometimes I wonder to the back of my skull
where there's fields of fire
and every shadow's still chasing me home
I whisper softly to myself to just forget these dreams
I'm laying dormant barely breathing
under endless sleep the faint reflections of myself
I'm calmly staring back into the void of clouds dressed in black
mind locked from the inside,
- Epilogy
Do you remember the life we had?
It swept beneath my feet and wrapped around my head.
It resembled my frame of mind with nothing better to say.
I was leaving it all behind to resonate through the years and crush me day by day.
I could feel it pull break neck speed to say my last goodbyes.
The discontent to let everything go,
hanging over my head like a noose around my neck.
Cause you're not all that different, over everything.
- Forgiveness
"I just want to tell you, I'm the one who was supposed to take care of everything. I'm the one who was supposed to make everything okay for everybody. It just didn't work out like that. And I left. I left you. You never did anything wrong. I used to try to forget about you. I used to try to pretend that you didn't exist, but I can't. And now, I'm an old broken down piece of meat... and I'm alone. And I deserve to be all alone. I just don't want you to hate me."
[Part from the movie 'The Wrestler', said by Randy 'The Ram' Robinson.]
- Love Alone
Thinking of things, that I could have done*
All of the thoughts that prey on my mind,
Before my eyes had barely the time, to adjust to light
Like deadfire bound by night that shines on my skin
A faded picture eroded by our time
A lost hope thinking of him.
- No Love
The morning rise,earths suspended state as it turns on it’s side.
I can see the comet fade and the fear in me subsides.
I often wonder, as the abyss above me, seems deeper at night.
Is there another me somewhere staring back up to my eyes.
Am I less of a man if I broke down and said I couldn't be on my own.
Or is sincerity lost and being alone is a friend I've come to know.
We stepped along the moonlit bridge way glorifying a nostalgic past.
So for every dwell, that's draped in black, if this is love, I'm taking it back.
- Paradox
This world can't leave me, while this world won't fall.
I'm trapped and unhinged, I still feel the same.
Spoken foundations on a promise that soon I'll change… Oh how I wish I could change.
I lean against the steady breeze pillar wind, fists tight, among a thousand saints
I catch a carrying whisper, of secrets picked up, from what I left behind.
But like the book that weighs you down I'm bound with leather skin.
A broken spine and missing pages, a lost key lock with no way in.
I was naive to presume I could just shake it off, or make it stop
- Providence
Show me a reason to feel this invincible,
the heavy rain could feel less incredible.
When I'm soaked to the bone, and still, I'm so alone.
For all these dreams that take a hold of my life,
hold my head, submerge the night.
Communicate, without the use of speech,
I'm seeing visions, I haven't slept in weeks.
I'm finding stars, I thought were city lights
- Silhouette
She’s still hurting inside, but on the outside, her expression is froze.
Without breaking silence to speak as the sun dies, heavy hearts in her eyes.
But led wide awake with one thought on her mind – she’s patiently waiting, waiting… waiting for nothing.
.. ..
Looking in through an empty window of what’s left, of a broken home.
A silhouette and empty space left for another family to crash and burn.
.. ..
Building on a relationship that was once lost and falling apart, now seems a good time to let go.
