A collective of memories makes time seem endless
When one fades another takes its place
It makes the world seem, well, full of hope
Though reality shifts and the days break
We all cling to something more.......
Something better.

Where was I?
I think I remember but I'm not entirely sure anymore
Maybe I woke up here  to do something
Or maybe I'm meeting someone.
I can be sure anymore
Everything seems just to blur together now
Fragments of the previous day entering and exiting my mind
Much like wind blows  through a house window.
I see her face.
Just slight glimpses, nothing vivid enough for me to hang on to.
There is also a shadow standing in the doorway
No face, No voice
It just  looks at me.
I cant remember much anymore
Just her.
So, what's the last thing you remember?

Mirrors capture the soul
Keeps us bound to this present world
Fear you do not know
To watch people live out the day
Stuck behind glass
Unable to say.

Luck is a delicate thing to play with
It will run out or run to you
Not all things are good
Bad things sometimes happen to bad people.
Life.
Wake up and do something
Waste not the light that burns the day
Show me where the road ends
I'll show you the way.

Forget me not.....
Such words leaves a bad taste
Everything gets forgotten
Buried beneath the soil
The weather changes me.
Makes me hollow
Makes me whole

People use love in context they don't understand
Loose words thrown out there with no consequence
Where has the good times gone?
I heard once that a good man dies every minute....
Kind of a morbid thing to hear but its true
The world itself has no mercy for the weak
If we all go quietly into the night
Then who will stand up and make a difference
Make a change ?
Or change a life?

If knowledge is power
The power is gone
Things we knew are now proven wrong
Surprises have come and surprises have passed
Without emotion for this I lack
I dream of on day seeing the ships in the far
White sails full of hope and yet unmarred
The world we know is not the world that's real
Covered with lairs and beggars who steal
So come with me and drift away
Over the white caps  to a place we can stay.

Describe to me such beauty to see
A picture of you ever changing
Eyes like the ocean
Voice like the sea
I swim in a vast blue circle hoping to be
Hoping to be more than we were
But the same of what we are
See the change
Heal the scars
Remember those who once came so far
Explore the world
Once big now small.
Travel the roads and see it all

We watch so closely to this we'll fall
From the walls they built up all so tall
Self righteous souls that claim they know everything about nothing
Sit behind closed doors and make false prophecies
Crawl against the current with your eyes on the floor
Passengers watch you make your way down.....
D
O
W
N
To the ground floor of your dreams so small
Of your nightmares so tall
To move on is to grow
To grow is to know
To know is to go
Just like the great rivers
Show the world just where you'll flow.

Capture me
Still framed masquerade
Behind the trees I remain ever watching.
Gasp for air as we dive in
Into the sea to find our way out.
Pressure is mounting to find our way to make a name
Silence over comes the sound
It blocks the light with darkness all around
The notes we wrote when we were young
Still give me hope when I feel wrong
One day I find you among the mess
I tell you everything , all my regrets
I hope you'll listen with unkind ears
To settle my mind and all my fears.

The beauty of today
Blinds the negative passages I take
For now sitting here I think of you
Darling, how are you
Far away I feel its growing
Further and further from here
I write in simplicity for you to understand
Just how long to stand by you.
May is here
The chill still brushes against my cheek
Against the icy winds the sun has no effect
Oh, how I wish this would cease.

Powerful words move the hearts of man
Humanity described in terms that we understand
Angry and happiness seemed hand in hand
The ending of this story long told reverts and began
Began to start to settle and began to start to end
Through and through we wish you well
Through it all we stand.

I found a way in your head
It's far from your heart
Searching through the surface space
Dreams I've ripped apart
Chaos that follows you deep into the night
Will expose its intentions of a lost cause
In a panic and in a fright

A sweet release
Cold water in my lungs
A breathless wonder

I see a raven in the sky
The air is still
Lay upon the restless words
That my soul will spill.

Ravens in the sky
10 or so more
My heart is heavy with the pain
My muscles are so sore

Watch the souls carry them
Unto the great unsure
Rapture in the imagery
That they lay before.

Raven, my raven
I found the way back home
Lifted high on your wings
I feel like I belong.

Peace in the air
Fluent and so bare
Beauty only skin deep
Through her eyes and her hair
Cold wind a blowing
Moves my body still
A shiver down my spine will
Push me up this hill
Summertime's upon us
The days are getting long
Fit all the hours in the day
Oh, how I long for more
My love is fading
Across the drying winter pine
The smell of the ocean breeze
Sets a calm in my mind
Darling I hope your well
Your always in my mind
Goodbyes are the hardest thing
That we've ever done
But where we all are going
There's a place beyond the sun.

Life is fragile
So strong and so weak
Reality comes down

I know it was wrong.....
The things I said
Words fall from my mouth
And end up back again
Rewind the hours and the minutes  we have
Regrets built the house of cards
Destined to collapse
Your opinion of me may be right
But your vision is dead wrong
You think you have me figured out
By the words that are sung
Prophets and Preachers predict it
****** if they are wrong
We sat and watched the world burn
Without thinking its wrong.
Forever and never we will be
Helpless and confused
Take control and wake up
Without us being used
Today is the best of your life
That you'll ever have
So take a breath and cling to this moment.

The past doesn't always stay dead
It resurfaces and appears in our life
More times that we can count
Our past is what makes us who we are
Makes strong, makes us weak
We empathize with others
Just to try to relate
The past is gone
........The future's today.

Great giver of life where are you now
At the end of it all you are nowhere to be found
You are the worst drug
Trip, Trip, Trip
Drip, Drip, Drip
Tree of life where are you now
Hold high hope
Have endless doubt
Circle and circle the sky
Branches bind the bones
Watch us grow
Eye up high forever watching
Waiting......
Releasing us from our bonds
Catch me if you can
Always you will try
Gold doesn't mean riches
False arrows collide
Sit and wade through the fog
Tell your eyes they're lying
Remove your voice and look beyond
Will you ever change?

Like love
You know time has life
Has heart
Has eyes that want to feel the day
Way away made a sad world think
Mind things big and small
Look left, people need light
Tell the story of a long face
Right though the pain
The lost soul of good men
Heed a smile in a new place
Hands held the end of hope
Remember the fall
The old dark beautiful wish
Thin cold skin leaves tears though lives
Days stop
Sky is gone
Dreams better try....
Oh, lips knew the broken feeling
Past hard dreams
Told through the eyes of a happy death
Blue blood walking white
Trying to breathe
Trying to leave
Red rain touches the dead
In life's waiting room
Have not promises that will not stay firm
Be lost in yourself
Be found on another

You describe me as a shadow
A ghost with no face
A hopeless romantic
A failure, a disgrace
I see you as a liar
A false hope
A frown
The reason that I love you
Is because your not around
We found  each other only by chance
A fools chance indeed
I think we made the right choice
In choosing for us to leave
It's not that I hate you
That's to strong to say
I Just despise the way you look
And the things that you say
You think of me as I once was
But not of who I am
A still frame portrait of a haunted man
Destroyed and ******.
I wish you well in life
And I hope to see you again
To change your perception of me
To show I'm perfect again.

Let the rain fall down and wash away the me
Layers upon layers of *******
The bring me to my knees
Honesty it may free me
But the truth will be my end
Showing the many faces
Of the mess that I'm in
Hold me closer now
Give me the strength to carry on
Give me a reason to wake up one day
Give me a way to be strong
Oh , misery
Would you give sweet company
Give me rest
Give me hope.
Tied the knot tighter just to help me breath
Ironic isn't  
Because the knot is me
Freedom is just a false word
That choses to bind us all
Realize the real world is all but so small
Hidden paths that wind us
And twist us until we fall
Just to have us rise up
To straighten out them all
Before the light fades to darkness
I  hope to here your call
To comfort my restless soul
To illuminate it all.

The struggles we've known are not our own
They are laid upon us by the ones we've out grown
Petrified to move on
Too scared of the end
We watch the world pass by
With nothing to be said.
How long do we wait for something better to come along
And when do we change our fate from the things went wrong
Discover what you're made of seconds from the fall
Fight to survive this night
Survive to sing this song

Carry on with your breath
It's feels good to be alive
To show the world what we've built
Of how we turned the tides
Rebuild the bridges that we once have burned
Let the rivers flow beneath them
It's time we took our turn

Trust in something bigger than yourself
For once in a while
Have faith in the faithless
Believe in what is real

Cast away the ending
Just begin to write your own
Make a name for the ones
That you left at home
Say goodbye to the past
And hello to you
Listen to the winds of change
That will guide you through it all.

Heart full of pain
Head full of dreams
Silence is golden
Beyond the petty things
Grow old with the world
And the world will grow with me
Break the bonds of consistcy
Just to put you in your place
Change the rules to the game
The game of life we all do play.

Time to run
Faster but unable to find the end
I find comfort in dreams.....
Abrasive images of a day worn down
Hide in a world unearthed by fantasy
We hope you enjoy.

I see the change in man.
                Evolution is a strange thing.
                                   Salvation
                                   Redemption
                                   Hope.
Questions................

Crown the king wanderer
Keeper of the souls
Spare me not the mercy
Of a heart decades old
Trapped in this world
Out of time and out of place
Across the line of reality
Between this rock in the space
I will journey back home slow with no haste
The sights and the sounds will be here
Forever to keep my place.
Her voice will guide the walkers through the pale white shades
Pull back the curtain just to say.
Where are the legends that hide in plain sight ?
Reveal the way home through the blinding crystal light.

Sing me a melody to haunt me in the night
Its casual whispers comfort me so right
Beyond the tree lines I may see the light
Hidden beneath the tall shade it seems so bright
Let the wind carry your heart back to me
Or be consumed by the hate, failure and greed.
Hollow your eyes and walk on through
Trail by fire I lay unto you.
The end is far but the beginning in now
I found the words
I found the reason
My love, I miss you
Even though your gone
Your voice will carry on
I feel the way the sun fades
And pulls the day along .

Gather thy courage
For you will need it
Through the muck and dirt we wade
The dark gives way to a  shimmer of light
So far in the distance, yet so close to our hearts
Broadway is empty tonight
Say for a shadow in the distance
We run with no escape
But hope for a better life
The winter breezes seems to calm the pain
.....and we are here.....
We. Are. There.

We are found
The lost souls of a generation
Tossed into the fire
To sink, To Swim
To......survive.
Here we are
At the start of it all
In Silence undetected
We reach for the stars
Just to fall short
But to succeed in something greater
We are the future.
