Dream as if you'll live forever, but live as if you'll die today
Raindrops fall The heart aches as the pain releases And the mind begins to relapse The eyes stare into the distance Praying hopeful thoughts of the future Attempting to make sense of this life Pain in every fiber of an agonized body Where can I go if I am not content in my skin Where could I be without love for myself And how could someone love me Could someone love the man If the man believes he is the devil If the man believes he deserves the gallows Rather than a kiss goodnight Why does death entice Even when you’re given everything you want Never having to struggle This is the confusion of life Being eternally unhappy in a world that doesn’t care Your disappearance is a flash in the pan Your life a worthless blip in time And though you want to believe people love you The idea is unfathomable and flawed No one could love a human birthed by hell A human who could vanish and see the world improve Death is the ultimate step up from life This is the truth Raindrops fall And the world turns on

Raindrops
As children we would dream and play Often times dreaming our daytime away Our minds was a designer at their creative post But now the world has a more sinister host In place of dreams our demons take hold Fears, doubts, and sorrows untold Unforeseen pressures from worldly events No wonder we don't want to leave from our tents Our imagination crumbles at the forces of life With realities first punches creating our strife Yet we all force a smile to carry on our way Because we cannot express our feelings today Remain in the shadow, bury your fears And thus I have done for the past few years Why life cannot be careless and free Is something that was always perplexing to me Through the hurricane we call life we must carry on So for one more day I put the mask back on.

The Mask
How do we say what sits in our mind Without falling to the consequences The painful and unforgiving kind That manage to alter each of our senses Unsure of the words you'll sit and try To construct that perfect alibi To explain away the confusion you face Until you reach your peaceful place A place where there is no way to harm But only feel love as they sit in your arms Though the road to this place is unclear The truth is that it may soon be near. Though we sat in the darkness up to now Soon sanctuary will emerge from it's cloud And as we try to describe how we feel Or declare how it may not seem real We must stay strong and weather the storm To reach sanctuary with all of its warmth.

Sanctuary
I have found myself in a world unknown Where my heart is lost and my mind aches so Not sure how to feel or think on my own Not sure if my feelings should stay or should go Deep down I know that things will be alright And yet I still sit awake and think through the night I think of my feelings past, present, and more I think of the days in which I was adored I dream of the future and what it may lead These are the thoughts that spur emotion in me My minds puzzle just seems incomplete As if there is one last piece that I need In this struggle I hold on to my faith And sift through the multiple thoughts in my wake Yet there is one thing I know will be true In this unknown world I will make it through

Unknown World
Shadows appear to dance with delight Amused by the sorrows I feel tonight It seems my pain which they do hear Fills their eyes with humorous tears Why does my pain give them such glee That they must go and dance so free Circling me in the darkest night Life begins to seem dark; not bright Silently they begin to draw near And yet it is not the Shadows we fear Struck with solitude, sorrow, and pain These are the things we fear to attain So as I hurt in the darkest night Watching the Shadows come closer in sight I bottle their humor, deep down inside And wait for my Shadows to just pass me by

The Shadows & I
Fear, the lion crouched in the grass of our lives Patiently it sit's, stalking your mind Until the perfect moment approaches at last Pouncing on you, the monster strikes back Consuming your life instantly   Yet fear is weak and incredibly frail Do not let it cage your life in it's jail Experience life, do not live controlled As i myself have come to behold With my soul mate by my side And the strength of God resting inside I will break down the wall's of fear and know   We will venture together into the unknown

Fear & The Unknown
Confused Signals Between jokes and true pain My heart's just outreaching For your love all the same No negative intentions, inside what i've said Just playful stupidity from within my head My own words, just let your thoughts go Yet I cannot seem to just let it flow Flow out of my mind like driftwood in the sea But this love is infinite, between you and me My own insecurity, mixed up with my fears Since no one has ever loved me as you do my dear So forgive all the nonsensible things that I say My worst nightmare is if you walked away So i'll learn to think free, and just let it flow Before I disappear in my mind's undertow

Undertow
Fear, Love, Worry, Pain These amplify seven fold inside our brain The signal's entice each one with ease As if on a casual stroll in the breeze Our mind is a creator, designed to innovate Therefore our minds, they must create Create false reason for worry or fear Create needless pain within us each year Heighten our love for things so free Simply to make fear return to thee Imagination, once thought so grand Has it's evil deeds hidden in hand So do not waste time in thought-filled fret These worries are things you need to neglect Over-thinking is one thing that is so over-done Allow your life to be simple and fun

Amplified Thoughts
I wake most mornings to the dreams of us The everlasting love that you are Realization that your the one I trust Together I know we can go so far Love, eternal and bright as the sun Our plans for the future already begun There's one final thought I know to be true That my beating heart only beats for you Your the love that ends all of my pain The ray of sunshine through all of the rain And with your hand wrapped within mine My sun will forever continue to shine Every minute that your with me I hear the most beautiful melody A melody of love eternal and true Such is the way I love you People can deny the truth of my heart Yet my heart has beat for you from the start A gift from God, stunning and grand I'm blessed to be known as your man In all the world, these words ring true Your my heart and my world and I love you

My Beating Heart
Anger, consuming my very being Became an obstacle preventing me to see That in the venom spew of my rage You were caught in the cross-fire today Anger controls the very mind Wasting away all of your time From now on my love will erase all the past And I'll be in love with you forever and back My apologies are greater than you know My soul-mate I'm sorry for being so low
