In my mind I already died lying on an embankment along the river of time. I sighed and laughed because the days spent were not really gone in my peripheral mind. Gazing down this hollow road I see strange familiar eyes staring back at me glowing behind the trees, hiding to be seen. My foes are those I've known to trust, before them, I'm gutted my misery, it seems, feasted upon though never feeding the bitter hunger reaped from them within. I find those eyes that glower at me in the pitch of dark For they are the light I see, however scary, They are truth

hiding to be seen
Tonight I'll sleep again but will I dream again? a tale with no beginning and no end Always picking up where my subconscious mind left off like seeing in the dark But all these creatures laying underneath my bed nightly in my head Where did they come from? Kiss myself goodbye and goodnight each time I wake up each day Because I may as well've died somewhere in the night Then I see the blinding burst down upon my eyes With nocturnal cries only left as an echo inside a dream that once forgotten Wasn't dreamt

dreams undreamt
Today I stopped to talk to a lady named Truth I couldn't help but wonder why she looked so familiar something about her face I knew I had seen it before Then I remembered where... hers was the same as the disguise worn upon the Lady that Lies

the Lady that Lies
This hurt that lingers This pain I carry by my side Sometimes invisible It chews on my pride Resonating in my gut Squeezing from the inside Burn like clouds of fire In the chambers of my chest Now, black smoke in my soul my eyes won't see the rest This haunting emotion It has me consumed It's just not fair Reason subsides and my Heart is doomed

DOOMED II
what is a name? if it can be forgotten and the fruit of life that grows ever-rotten what do words mean? after they lose their meaning while our faces still cry and smile don't worry, don't fear it'll all make sense, after awhile

everything's Blue
Scared to be happy and used to being sad Scared of getting hurt like I already had Scared of reality so I stick to my thoughts Scared of going nowhere I remain still lost Scared of loving again like when I did before Scared of giving it all to nothing but a closed door Scared of myself always making mistakes Scared is what I am but I'll do what it takes

...the night birds sing their tune the leaves are fall-ing sitting beneath the moon crisp Autumn air calling...

Night Outside My Door
I've travelled far without ever getting away Iv'e spoken a lot of words never anything did I say Look around, there's so many people But it's rare to find a friend I've torn my life into pieces I put them back together, then I loose them again.

Irony is God's Sense of Humor
My spirit feels along with the trees shaking off the brittle, dead leaves They blow away in an Autumn breeze baring ourselves for that winter freeze Shy, always, to natures dormancy tease but the cycle will start again, soon, with ease.
