I don't want to live in an ivory tower, being the songwriter who just turns inward. / - Billie Joe Armstrong / / Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. / - Oscar Wilde / / I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice. / - Abraham Lincoln / / When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. / - Jimi Hendrix / / "Let your kingdom come..."
I sit on the edge of this
solemn bed of mine.
Like sitting on the edge of
outer-space, the universe.
I feel nothing, I hear nothing,
I do see darkness in all of the space it clouds my
mind blacking out the sun.
This life full of space, full
of chatter sounding like a drone of
white noise.
Is it worth the empty space
that's on my heart?
The universe has set fires in
those empty spaces.
Now, I lay in the empty space
that my body has forms in the solemn
bed of mine.

Questions go unanswered
I lie awake
The world is still turning
At the same rate
Everybody wonders
Why it’s not right
Everybody has time to think
Late at night
How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
Questions go unanswered
I sit alone
My head is clearing
But my thoughts they still roam
Time doesn’t stop
For any one man
But you can try
Catch it if you can
How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
Questions go unanswered
I walk the crowd
No one is talking
But we all think too loud
Everyone has questions
No one’s got answers
But we need an anchor
Or the line always blurs
How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
Questions go unanswered
As I sing this song
Guess we all knew this
All along
Just take a hand
And you won’t need so much
At least take some comfort
Someone understands enough
How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
How do you put yellow into blue
Without making green
How can you love
Without ever wanting to scream
How do you put halos on angels
Without giving wings
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello
How can you say goodbye
Without ever saying hello

In a crowded room,
But no one hears me screaming,
Hundreds of people surround me,
But I've never felt so alone.
I don't need just anyone,
But god, do I need someone,
Why can I long for people,
But never say a word.
I tell myself I'm stronger than that,
And hate to admit I'm weak,
That I may wake up one day,
To find it is true.
That maybe I do need someone to hear me scream,
And scream with me as loud as they can,
Till our eardrums burst from the sound,
And drown out all my loneliness.

Guardian of the night
without my sight
holding on with all of my might
and the stars are pulling really tight
I pray very deep
wishing that I will keep
and all my life I will sleep
dreaming of a little tiny sheep
I am blind as a bat
can't find a way to pet my cat
nobody with whom to chat
and I am sad and lonely like that one single rat
guardian of the night
ready for the flight
disposing of all the frights
heading towards the light
and I am the guardian of the night
