Curse this endless life,
this light I
can't escape.

Why, oh why
must people die?
And why, oh why
can't I?

Curse this endless life,
My life, it refused to fade.
I'm an immortal ray of light.

But I yearn for
darkness to say
"Come child now,
it's your time,

I'll take your
light away."
Oh, curse this endless life.
It blinds me everyday.

A pencil has power
but more so does a pen
Over the sword and the arrow
it's my choice to defend

In the Dark Wood
a young man once stood
enveloped in an overwhelming fear

A drunken, blind man
lost chasing a lamb
He wreaked of burnt cigarettes and beer

He heard a piercing yell
A sound straight outta' hell
that only in the wood, you may hear

A sound not so kind
It crept up from behind
Foreboding footsteps all too near

A creature full of hate
only death can be his fate
for death is all that happens here

Then after only a moment,
just a second of torment
His ultimate end became clear

In the Dark Wood
a young man once stood
enveloped in an overwhelming fear

1.
While I was walking in the dark,
on my mind it left a mark
but a mark more like a brand,
not just written in the sand.
On my holeless walk within a can
up, up crept that heartless man.
If I'd known him, I'd have ran,
but of his work, I'm not a fan.

Now that I recall, nothing crossed my mind.
Walking in the dark, there isn't much that I could find.
The man came slowly into view, I was already out of time
and in a split second, the scene had to unwind.

Immediately, he reached for his right pocket,
whipped out his Glock, aimed for my eye socket-
"Your life will end here, not one thing will stop it,"
and with a slight squeeze then a sound like a rocket,
my life slipped away, like water from a faucet.
cold blood

Certainty is the goal
within a world of simple questions,
but when you add emotion
it invokes quite a tension-
creates a new dimension.
The path toward what is certain
turns to a barely legible section.
Although it may include affection;
what have I forgot to mention?
How 'bout the anger fear and hate
that distorts our every Question?

The inch worm inches,
while I take full steps
however, unfortunately-
I'm headed the wrong way
