We were once tangled
But all the ties that bind us
Have become a noose

I'm always the one
Who upon the finger rests
Imprisoned by you

Though my hands no longer hold
Your tender hands as years unfold
Though my hands have gone cold

Though my lips no longer speak
Whisper gently, kiss your cheek
Though no more words my lips to speak

Theres an echo out on the air
Of words our voices never shared

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

Though we thought the storm would pass
We hid inside our house of glass
Casting stones at each others past

Cracks and leaks the rain got in
Dousing flames of hearts within
Cold drops clinging to our skin

The things that we thought forever gone
May warm us in the light of dawn

May the circle
Carry your soul away
Far from the skies of grey
And though we part

Through the circle
We may have reached the end
But love will return again
Into your heart

May the circle
Never become a chain
And let us return again
Back to the start

We walk these shorelines
leaving nothing but footprints
that waves wash away.

You never worried
That I had come to depend
Upon your sweet love

The pain is long gone
But this feeling lingers on
Why do you haunt me?

An ocean dying
to meet the beautiful shore
just a wave away

I've seen the people
They have tombstones in their eyes
Dying to get high

I remember being a young boy
who was afraid of stormy days,
I knew that a sudden gust of wind
could come and take you away.

I promised that I would never let go
and to keep you within my sight,
but I didn't give you the freedom to soar
and often pulled too tight;

so one autumn day, you broke away,
I stood outside until spring,
but the boy who went out that windy day
became a man holding onto a string.

While the heavens wept
I gasped for air beneath the
Waters where I lay

I was there when darkness
was all you ever knew.
So black it was; the night,
that your shadows left you too,

but then across the horizon
a beacon's match did strike,
and burned a path right through the dusk
to end your lonely nights.

Years flew by in blinks of an eye
and long gone are those days;
but still despite, I kept the light
that watched you drift away.

Forever my heart will be your guide
so that you never sail alone,
and if you're ever feeling lost
you'll know the way back home.

May the night grant us
a second chance at those dreams
that by day we lack.

You and I walked down the road
as lonely hearted friends
to find the way that leads to love
on the path where friendship ends.

We've always been desperate to share
the feelings never spoken out loud,
but our perfect sky is always filled
with the reluctance of broken clouds.

If the time had come for us to decide
which path would you choose?
Would you still just be feeling lost
or just too afraid to lose?

Love, lust, desire
These are dreams that will become
My own cross to bear

Dancing to the sea
The river will cease to be
But the sea grows strong

Every tear we cry
Burns away the fears inside
Our flames grow stronger

A pristine stained-glass heart
is all I see

when magnified through the lens
of your sympathetic tears.

You have since moved on
Well then maybe even I
Can learn to forget

These feelings of love
Make us throw off contentment
To find something more

Falling softly through the sky
as clouds and tears and lives drift by
all that was and all that is
and all that's mine and all that's his

but I'd still choose you
even when you don't choose me
even though I know
that we can't be

I thought my eyes could make you see.

Sailing deep beneath the waves
the light twists outwards and concave
a clear reflection and a stain
of all my love and all my pain

but I'd still choose you
even when you don't choose me
even though I know that we

that we can't be

I thought my eyes would make you see.

Crumpled up paper
Strewn across the bedroom floor
Someday you will know

The past; a conflict
We always have to look back
To find tomorrow

Five broken arrows
litter the great battlefield
of this weary heart.

Love is like a sea
It will refuse no river
That stands at its gate

I'm just a fool who
Would travel with monsters to
Learn to tame the beasts

A mother's passing
is the first death her children
will grieve without her.

Desperately, we cling,
but how long can we hold on
before we both fall?

Here on your doorstep
Am I to bid you farewell?
This cold Autumn eve

Do not disturb the sleepers,
let be the dreams they make.
Surfing in the slumber
is like trying to catch a wake.

The nightcrawlers will **** their brains
until there is no more to be had.
The defenders stand by;
tall, strong, armor clad.

Soon they engage in battle,
a spectacle for space and time.
To the victor go the spoils,
and untainted mind.
