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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.

We collided together as a cataclysmic collapse of black holes
                                                           ­                                   two days ago.

The strings of space around us stretched into small circles that
                             tucked us inside of them to hide.

Nestled away from nights and days, transcending the time that was
   beginning to slow.

Humanity & sanity fell apart but we spun on as the planets caved inward,
                                safely residing on the inside.

We were a blur of cosmic smoke and stars swirling at the center of
                                                                ­ this crumbling universe.

Bright burgundy fire built from desire washed over the silent sky
          radiating the shattered shards of our destruction.

Our blood vessels began to burst, our muscles torn from our
                                                            glow­ing bodies as we conversed.

We weaved ourselves in time, sunlight beaming from our eyes,
             as everything began to connect again.

Slots were filled with pieces that had not belonged
                                              shattered fragments placed along the outlines.

We became the blaze that lit up the center of the sky
                      filling it full of bright & warm color,
                               we were infinitely entwined as each other's lovers.

Pt. 1: Before
To the filter, the only thing of me you'll have.


                                 Pt. 2: Over
                                 Whisper softly, I won't be one of your bad habits.


Pt. 3: After
I'm smoke, catch me in your hands, if you can.

I miss you when nights are cold,
While the fire is breathing on my face,
And I can't stand to feel the trace
Of your skin on mine.
I feel so old.

To remove your fingertips,
Bury myself in the glowing embers,
Scorch any trace of you off
My blackened burns.
*I only wish.

I've been trying so hard to be good again.

How weird it is
From one to five

That i have to go to the forest
To sing my favourite songs

How weird it is
From two to five

That i think that cold water
is better that hot

How weird it is
From three to five

That i can fall in love with
Somebody who i dont know faster
Than with somebody who i do

How weird it is
From four to five

That i would rather tell my secrets
to somebody that i dont know
than to somebody
who know me like fire knows a smoke

How weird it is
From five to five.
