Inside my mind, I have doors but no handles
I see windows with no hooks
There are exit signs with no escape below
Do you enjoy my futility?

Empty chairs in my own auditorium
Laughs but no cheers, something quells inside my stomach
On my knees, crippled screams rage from within
I can’t feel my feelings

Every step toward the circle is a stab
Encased by their fingers, pointing out my flaws
A light burning through my eyes, into my head
Spotlight to my angst

They don’t understand the torment
It fuels the fire
Dizzying my thoughts, clarity looks in
Why do they still point?

The glass shatters, the doors bellow forth
From my tips come the lightning
I am fire, there is no way to put me out
Run till the blood rushes from your head

The moment, it fades too quickly
Empty inside my own auditorium
An open soul with no love to give
For a second, there could be something… strong
I can across this the other day
A single tear came from my face
I knew you couldn’t, you wouldn’t stay
I hold the air, you’ve gone without a trace

Somehow those memories are now daggers
Jagged edges, they slice at my skin
I want to step toward you, pain staggers
Like a punch, it breaks my chin

A life we’ll never know till the next one
Our chance was fire, burning with conflict
The shadows are lit, but yet you’re still gone
I loved, so did you, but we always contradict

I’ll fight, I’ll lift, I’ll run, constantly pushing
You’ll live, you’ll love, you’ll experience it all
My journey will be the one that’s crushing
If you find a path, then you must heed the call

It’s something to find heaven covered in hell
I may stumble, there isn’t a fall too far
Inside your heart it’s safe, I can see & tell
My love wasn’t misplaced, it’s never a scar

Lay down beside me and you will discover
Behind the curtain is a soul not so tarnished
Holes & cracks full, but with time to recover
In your arms I feel peace, your love harnessed

It comes and goes, like a nightmare in a dream
It stabs me, but it holds me tightly
The best things are never what they seem
Thank you for the strength to fight so rightly
The enemy isn’t here, it isn’t there, you can’t see this fight
Strength is not your friend, struggle to find your might
Secluded like the forgotten, inside your chest is tight
The enemy isn’t here, it isn’t there, you can’t stop this fight

The enemy is here, it’s in front of you, you can’t hide
There are no corners, no walls, anywhere to confide
If there is a way out, there is no one to lead outside
The enemy is here, it’s above you, you shouldn’t hide

The enemy is you, the mirror ahead, you can change
Only you and it, accept the truth, straight down the range
Everyone can see you, think yourself weird, alone, strange
The enemy is you, look no further, you will change

There is no enemy now, face the truth, you’ve already won
The battle ended, you saw the reality, the enemy is gone
You have the power, you have the strength, the ability you don
Beneath you a world, above you nothing, the world you have won

Don’t be afraid of what isn’t there, discover what is there
You are stronger than your own demons, they obey you
Stand tall & talk loudly, let your voice be heard by everyone
The reality is your own strength, use it to forge your own happiness
I break every time I see your face in my dreams
Your smile it haunts me when I close my eyes
Everyone moves to the same drum beat
I don’t know how to dance to this song anymore

Years have gone by, we haven’t seen another chance
How do I move forward, when I feel this for you?
There’s a missing piece, it’s caught in my throat
Please don’t make this the end of our time, our love

You feel the pain, the pain I feel too, its hurts so much
You left when I did, but you left something that I cling to
My life started and ended with you, only you inside me
I won’t find a path that fills my soul, wandering alone

There is justice for our loss, but desire isn’t the same
I’ll wait in the oceans, the clouds & all of the mountains
Any life that is worth this, that life is what I hope for
My feeling didn’t end there, it won’t end here

Did the world enter too soon, could there be a love beyond?
Discover & declare, one day there can be a truth to it all
Why does it matter to me? What do you matter to me?
We didn’t step into this world together, but at the end we can
Spaces outside our lives are colourful
The streets go left and right
Street lamps shine something wonderful
Stand still underneath the light

A world lives whilst you sleep
A brisk wind, a gentle chill
Wander slowly into the deep
Then stop, stand so still

The seasons change everlasting
Spring to summer, fall to winter
Work & family, the reasons we’re masking
The casual beauty is one we splinter

Set aside a time and place
Sit on a bench, take in the view
Cold mornings enjoy the chase
A world for us, me and you
There couldn’t be anything better
Than the life that I have lived
Ever present is the feeling of grace
Lay flourishing to the sounds of space

It’s not a simple world we have
But to see it is what we must do
Enjoy the moments and experiences
For when they come, they will be gone

A kind wind, a glory sun
Clouds with passion above fields of gold
Mountains high, big enough to stun
Stay true to yourself & break the mould

Expression isn’t always through words
Our actions speaker louder
Stand tall in the crowd
The closest, they couldn’t be prouder

Resign to the confines of slumber
A day has gone, another will appear
You’ve opened your eyes, seen the sky
Sleep well darling, sweet dreams my dear
One day left together
I wouldn’t change this life we made
The rain I love, strange this weather
One day left & we fade

There couldn’t be anything more
A life lived longer now
You saw me through the window, walked through the door
I always ask the question, how?

Steps up a mountain so long
I swam a sea that swept me so far
They accused me, I wasn’t wrong
You came back, together we’re

Now we sit here alone
No world to call our own
I wouldn’t ask for anyone else
A king on my perfect throne

When we go, there won’t be a spectacle
When we leave, they won’t see us go
Far away from them, we’ll be mystical
Lead me now, you know I will follow
