I may not be the one you want,
But I am the one you need.
The one who will lift you up,
When I'm blind or drowning in the sea.
I have the strength to make you whole,
I will be your shield.
Protect you from everything that scares you,
Lay with you in grassy fields.
I may not be the one you want,
Give me chance and you will see.
I can make you happy,
Help you stay strong and believe.

I've run out of things to write about.
Everything is going nowhere,
But everything is going somewhere.
Out of form and context.
Different approach to something defined.
No more heartache,
No more pain.
No more want of love,
No more want.
The inspiration lies within,
But it also lies without.
Everything from nothing,
Nothing from something.
Void

Watch the world from star filled eyes,
Guilded souls with fire on high.
Floating through the cloud bursts,
Lightening striking to enhance the sights.
Golden sunrays,
Black and silver clouds.
The people on the ground dancing like ants,
Birds flying through the air like the swimming fish in the sea.
Hold my hand and we'll take flight,
Just as long as you're with me tonight.

Let me go,
Why do you torture me so?
I'm done with you,
Do you not realize we are through?
Move on and leave me be,
Can you not see you are the death of me?

Push back the night,
And crack the sky.
Have you ever stopped,
And wondered why?
Why stars fall into place,
Where is love's true embrace?
For the sake of all,
For the GLORY of none.
With all thoughts aside,
There is still only one.
One reason to fear,
Only silence to hear.
Stretched across the distance,
Pulled through the air.
Could leave you floating,
Would you even care?
Care for the one who falls,
Listening to old telephone calls.
Awake in this place,
Of silence and despair.
Only to find,
No one is there.

I want to disappear from thisplace,Nothing but a dark shadow on myface.Hide from the world’s light tosee,That in the darkest hour I shallonly find me.The light of the sun has beenbanished,Everything that is seen hasvanished.I want to disappear from thisplace,Nothing but a black shroud on myface.
