life slips through my boney fingers
like the wind flows through a window
I watch as time goes on
crippling everything that i know
tearing me away from loves embrace
killing me slowly with every breath
I can see my happiness but cannot reach
it looks back and mocks me
telling me i am not good enough
I do not deserve to have you
you are an angel
this is all my fault
you resent me i dont blame you
I am like a thousand needles in your back
I am the king of fools
a lifeless pin ***** in existance
But as i say it many a time
I would do anything for you
as i place this tape over my lips
an lay me down in my coffin
i bury myself ten feet down
never to annoy you again

*I love you more than you will ever know
do not ever forget that

my life has faltered
the walls come crashing down
everything i build
falls to the ground
looking up at my work
in the glory it bestows
i see it waving and cracking
then down she blows
i do not understand why
but it always goes to show
my hopes and my dreams
i have built from the ground
now nothing but rubble
no hope to be found
i have tried again
with determination in my heart
i will not give up this time
no matter how hard
i can see the cracks
as bright as the sun
but onward i go
untill i have won
i want you know i am sorry
for everything i have done
before i loose you forever

never shall i fear
the facts are all clear
the signs clear as day
but through me
the blind can see
reaching out my hand
taking you to neverland
do not fight the inevitable
in a world of instant gratification
i swear to await
the longing for your touch
i know you feel the same
the sweet savour am I
to raise you from your hell
an save you from a lie
for as long as i am alive
no one will harm you
please my love hear my cry
always have i been there
and always shall i be
you are the love of my life
so stand up and be proud
be more than my promiscuous dream

all the pieces are there
but the puzzle remains unfinished
collecting dust
the dedication in the begining
the insperation flowed
then in the blink of an eye
the masterpiece lays
dorment and incomplete
waiting to be put together
light it once placed
in the eyes of its creator
not to be seen in future

the story of my life
is not a happy one
looking back on everything
i have nothing to show
though i have made my mark
i regret a lot
I suppose it is all necessary
it is still painful
leaving me broken
i am pushing away the past
starting anew
there is a light in my life
the flame is you

my body grows weary
my mind slips away
my muscles are aching
and my bones decay
i have walk to many miles
with to much weight on my back
but i cannot rest
there is no time for that
but through all the struggle
the tests and the pain
with you i find peace
and a life to regain
though i am shattered
and broken bruised
my heart is still going
because of you

What if I died tomorrow
how was my life
I had my ups, my downs
I had my goods and my bads
I had my love found and love lost
but I was a good man

What if I died tomorrow
what would I leave behind
my thoughts and ideas
my care and my love
my wisdom and memories
I was a simple man

What if I died tomorrow
who would remember me
those who I had met just for a moment
those who had loved and hated me
everyone who has come
in contact with my life
I was an impressionable man
