are dreams merely an oasis
materialized to sustain us on a day to day basis
some can so easily be consumed
day to day life incapable of being resumed
always turning back to the way of a madman
seeking to find in their own mind utter bedlam
say the same things over and over again
place your heart in a headlock, lay the blame
when will it change, will it ever
or shall we lie in illusions of a pointless endeavor

clawing at my mind
memories that are not mine
implanted as a powerful seed
hunger for more fueled by greed
envisioning surreal landscapes, places never seen
only within an imagination exists a country so serene
for it is not this era that I breathe
rather a time when the land was cherished beneath
footsteps resound down a dusty, old road
I watch breathless while the sands of time erode
phasing into the future, a place where I do not belong
the strings in my mind strum a sad, mournful song
as these strange memories align
memories that are not mine
thoughts from another time
one in which by chance existence was a bit more peaceful
perhaps memories are just as deceitful
when they are not mine
I don't know if I believe in reincarnation but I question all and claim to know nothing.

For all the silent voices
screaming as loud as you may
lying in broken sobs
shattered dreams
it is not right, it is not right
black is white, grass is blue, sky is green
all is so confusing
let me sing the blues for you
do not look for joyous sounds
look to me to strum broken guitar strings
stroke out of tune piano keys
regardless, for you I would sing
sliding my fingers down my grooved fret board
tapping in silent strokes
of forgotten dreams and abandoned tear stains
left to dry in bitter winds
let me sing the blues for you
Inspired by Chuck. Singing the Blues. You were right, it is my tune.

He had become a God
standing atop the world
looking down, knowing
anything could be achieved
in that moment, realization struck
he leapt from the highest peak
the wind whispering her secret
finally free
the trees grew majestically, closing in
the birds whistled a sweet melody
the water danced, awaiting eternal embrace
he forgot all the pain
free falling
time froze and he smiled
his last smile, for the Earth
goodbye

Oh we are what we are when in danger
And we are as we stand head in hand
When a friend brings to light
On a cold silver knife
You can stare your fate right into his hand
Into his hand

Oh we are what we are when we're made to
Be the soul owning guardians of land
And there's always advice
On a cold winter's night
That your dreams are just an island in the sands
Way out in the sand

Don't it seem so strange
How it just don't change, yeah
Things just stay the same
As they've always been
Some of us are out to win
And some of us are out just to wane
Just out to maim

Oh we are what we are when we're praying
In our own way of seeking some light
May the mission bell still ring
Of the colourful dreams
In the faith that everyone will be treated right

will be treated right
on a cold, cold night
will be treated right
Hell, I hope that everybody
will be treated right, yeah
will be treat right
on a cold, cold, cold, night
will be treated right
Sorry not my own work but these songs are powerful to me and I wanted to share a few things I love tonight

crouched in the darkest corner
you will not move, will not follow
Old Friend
your form is reaching out and I am reaching back
I am missing you for I am broken and insane
pretending I feel better without you would be a lie
I love darkness
I love pain, I love tears
this is when I am most alive
for so many years, Old Friend, you have been here
when no one was
I realize I will never let go
I will always seek ways to find you
crawling back to the corner in sobs of relief
they try to drag me away and for a moment I smile
then I scream
let me go back home, I miss my home
home is where Old Friend lies
in the corner, in pain crying
it is not sad, it is where I feel my heartbeat the strongest
it is where I feel the most love
I am incapable of love when I do not feel alone
so let me be with my Old Friend
misery never felt better
as I hold you in the darkness
Old Friend
I will always be here as you have always been for me

Acceptance of death comes when you have nothing to lose
why is it I am unafraid to die

Fear of death comes when you have everything to lose
why is it I am afraid to die

perhaps there are two of me in here...
