Towers of truth once surrounded us
A cold breeze fills the air
As you walk down these streets
You are lost
In the labyrinth of these days
Red ash bricks
Squeaking horns
In the midst, it is
Surrounded by an Oasis of trees
You are alone now
Standing in front of this empty pit of darkness
"Toss a coin!" You can still hear that voice from a long time ago
As long as these grey hairs cover your head, you wont forget
You take a dime from your pocket book
And down it goes
Your last gift to her
And then the world is gone
And darkness shrouds your thoughts
As you slip away from reality

-In memory of 9/11-

You strum a melody
A lonely soul in the dark
It wishes for a new chance
There it comes
A knight in shining armor
Your melody

What are the chances?

Sadness. Anxiety. Anger
A flurry of emotions crosses your mind
You brick up a wall
You feint surprise
Your smile is fake
But one day
It will all come crashing down
Water floods
The dam breaks
And your heartthrobs
By the sound of an arrow puncturing the skin
The feeling of your mother's hand losing warmth
The sight of a cat bleeding out on the street
The memory of your dad calling your name
Slowly, one by one they go
Until you're finally left
With the words "I have something to tell you."

Towers of knowledge surround you
You are in a labyrinth
Courage builds up
Fear disappears
You are ready to do what you must
To get out of this lonely world
Fate will tell.
The Heavens guide you
So don't lose hope.
It will find you, someday

There is a light
It vibrates around you
It casts a spell over you
You find yourself back in time
Music builds up
You find yourself walking on glass made of thin ice
You explore this adventure with no bounds
Then you wake up
And realize the limits of reality.
But you'll always remember that light
