I dive into a galaxy
of magnetic chaos
and float along
radioactive, purple, clouded skies
absorbed into the atmosphere
I begin to come alive

I spiral atop a mountain of stars
let my fingers roll along the currents and ripple out
oceanic outer-space
i no longer have a doubt

My mind expands into a stormy sea
as worlds collide and turn to dust
a million years have come to pass
yet I haven't learned to trust...
zero gravity, or my proximity;
to what is real.
Staring straight ahead now,
face to face with...
this infinite turning wheel

I reach out and touch the fallen ash
of ever-changing times
a wounded winged angel
can finally start to fly

I know we had something special
But those days are gone
I know we lost it all
Yet we must carry on

One time for the good fight
One time for one more night
And I still dream of you
And I still dream….
Again we’ll be

Why do I always fall back
You knock me down over and over again
I think Im sick
I think im sick on loving you
If I could just turn around
And walk away now
That’s what I would do

One time for the good fight
One time for one more night
And I still dream of you
And I still dream….
Again we’ll be

If I walked away
Would you even care at all?
If I was alone and restless
Would you help break the fall?
No?

One time for the good fight
One time for one more night
And I still dream of you
And I still dream….
Again we’ll be

I’m such a fool
And your too cruel
I'm such a fool
For loving you
old stuff

Swing sets and park benches
A kiss on the lips
At 6 years of age, does it get better than this?
You soared away
Disappeared for a while
But when you returned
I remembered your smile
The years flew by
And you didn’t change
At 21 years old
You came back the same.
Genuine and true
Giving and kind
A kiss on the mouth
And again you were mine
But I had to go
I was chasing big dreams
You understood,
We approached different things
And as I left
I swore we’d always be friends
The look in your eyes swore
We’d meet again
So I spread my wings
And had started to fly
But as I left
The angels fell from the sky
As they took you away, to a brighter place
I became lost, until I met with Grace
And as you rose to the heavens
Time here traveled sure
Although giving up seemed easy
It’s life we endure
And if I am certain of one thing now,
It’s this I learned from you:
(quote)“It’s not the year in our life, but the life in our years, that makes all the difference”
So until my time comes
I will chase these dreams
You will lift me up, so I can fly
Despite my broken wings.
And when the day comes
And it’s my time to depart
I’ll be with you again forever,
As you remain in my heart.
For George

Can you come over tonight and fill this void?
I’ve been waiting for so long to dance.
You taught me how to play the game
though I never stood a chance.

For now I’ll just **** the nights away
Looking for nothing but the bottom of a bottle.
With only myself to blame
I lay naked and cold for all to see.

Tongue tied again
My vocal chords have swelled
This empty canvas is colored black
My heart now beats to the stabbing pain in my back.
(A subtle reminder of how we left things)

but for now ill **** the nights away
(with him)
looking for noone and nothing
I walk around with a hollowed grin
Pretending I can still feel something

It’s not the same
No its not the same
But im tired of standing up just to fall down again
Sick of the so-called game we play
I surf the night on the harshest of winds

So for now Ill **** the nights away
Cause there is no turning back
I just want what was rightfully mine from the start
Surrender the other half of this beating heart.

It’s hard to see past the uncertain grey skies that hover outside my window
I push forward, in search for the truths we all desire
Can love be born again?
Bittersweet are the sparkling shadowed clouds
A glimmer of sunlight trying to protrude a darkened forecast
I find hope in dancing among the tears of heaven
As if they’re fallen angels
A half smile stretches across my face
At the mere thought of what comes after the rain
An illumination of our universe, like the sun is a diamond
Where a rainbow can be born to carry my dreams to a better place
Where beauty can last
And our deepest desires come true
To be loved, and to love
A solid ground for hope to thrive on
A chance to live eternally in Paradise
And Ive thought once too many times about the end
I guess I just get lost sometimes inside my head
Surround myself with a world of make believe
But today it seems that I can finally breathe

Clear into the distance
The sun is going down
the gears shift as I make my way
driving out of town

the open lands
where the waves crash in
its time to depart
the open roads
ill call my home
hold true inside my heart

my dreams as big as the salty blue
and since you left I...
will start anew
my hopes locked away in a jar on the shelf
in an old wooden church I will find myself

and when the sun goes down
I will not wait
cause yesterdays gone
and I wont be late

In a rive on the opposite end of town
a bottle with three words pours out
but not what you'd dream
not so cliche
in old withered in "baby, please stay"

as the sun goes down I wait for dawn
the stars my fate, yesterday gone

the open land as vast as my heart
and the waves crash down
during our depart

life moves in circles
and we cant escape
my heart the weapon
your soul my aim
cause when there's nothing to lose
there's all to gain
old stuff (unedited)

Goodbyes never come easy
But yours was far too unexpected
I opened up and ran away
Left you lost and unprotected

I thought someday we’d meet again
In my heart we will always be friends
I’ll dry these tears and plant a rose
While in heaven our future grows

I never dreamed of the day I’d have to say my goodbyes
While dressed up in sorrow as my only disguise
I always thought the future was on my side
But my false hopes are my weakest guide

I thought someday we’d meet again
In my heart we will always be friends
I’ll dry these tears and plant a rose
While in the heavens our future grows

Lost in misery
A loss for words
I only wish there was a way
To ease this hurt
Family and friends will gather near
And in light of darkness
We’ll release our fears
Pray for the future and things to come
And never forget what can’t be undone.

I thought we’d meet again
In my heart we will always be friends
I’ll dry these tears and plant a rose
While in the heavens our future grows
For George. You will always be in my heart.
