Faces are like mirrors
Photographs and still water
Who are these people
These grand creators
Who are
These men
These Women
Speaking truths
Hidden in
Childs play
We're all lying
And no one is listening
How could we know when
Our lives are all we've ever known
Where can we go
If we've only ever been

Your Touch

If I could think of anything worth saying I'd say it but the truth is my dear that I can't I don't have that spark that emotion that drives and now the only thing that can I do is scream and shout from inside the walls of my mind can't you see I'm trapped in here I'd take you away up off your feet if my dear I only knew what to say can't you see I need your

Touch
to keep
Me
Sane

I sit on the side of a bank
The things that pass me by
Pay me no attention
I am ordinary I am normal
There is nothing special about what i am
I've seen love blossom, and i've seen it wither away
I've watched a life begin and end
These things all left a mark
I don't mind though, it only helps me remember
There are others around like me
I doubt anyone has seen them either
We don't stand out
Thats just who we are, and how we will stay.

Here's to the End

Here's to the End
Of our time
It comes and goes
comes and goes

Swaying steps
On cold tile
Don't fall now
Don't fall

When the caps rained
Do you know where
Yours landed
did it land

Think about
The rice and bells
Does she make you smile
still smiling

These moments
Are long gone
Do you miss them
miss them

Raise your glass
Think of the past
And don't forget
please don't forget

Lift your glass
and tell me
Is it half empty
Is it half full

Have you seen
The world's beauty
Did it warm your soul
warm your soul

Did you feel the hate
and it's discourse
did it take you in
hold you in

If your life was a story
Would you read it
If your life was a lesson
Would you listen?

Open

Has the world lost it's charm
Or me my innocence
am I seeing the real world
Or is that something of the past

Just close your eyes

Why should I love the world
If it doesn't love me back
Why should I love at all
If there's no love at all

Run away run away

Will I always see the stars and the sky
Or are they simply passing by
Will the sky soon turn grey
And the world beneath aswell

I don't know I don't know

Is there any truth any where
Or are we buried under lies
Blind from the white truth
Blind

When I close my eyes
To talk to you
Am I seeing you
Or are you really gone

~

we had dreams
when we laid on our backs
and saw the stars
for the very first time
those tiny specks of light
finally came into focus
and those holes in our heads
finally opened to the world
our hopes grew with us
and all along we saw the world through
a ruby red tint
we were to busy to blink
oh, those long nights
spent staring at blank walls
trying to form an idea
of everything around us
and even through
the hardships and pains
we still had each other
to shield us from the world

— The End —
