there is no sleep for tired eyes
as chance gives way to circumstance
backed into a corner, truth explodes
tainting all that ever was
coloring honesty with doubt
in hues of broken dreams

Strange the way things are so easily broken.
                     Even stranger is how delicate they are when built.
                     Like hands, small... soft and gentle on a baby
                     But so easily destroyed by another.
                     Hearts... not an element of strength about them,
                     But they suffer the most and yet...
They continue to beat...
Sometimes slower like mine,
       I feel the force of time
                   Slowing
            Stuttering at points
              And even SHATTERING.
we               A world too arid... too destructive and self imploding
breathe                To allow any such existence..... A Hero...
  sin                             We slaughtered the ones we had.
  and                               Jesus beaten and nailed to a post...
   saviors                              Burnt at the stake... I suppose.
                                                     Because we are scared.
                                                        Petrified and screaming from a man
                                                        That had mastered redemption
                                                        we corrupted the only hint of peace we imagined.
                                                        we are the masters of nothing.

Now as he floats in space with the stars we murdered to save our "souls"
We bleed empty bones and blame everyone else for our guns to our head,
Shaking... will you smile when you die....

Slowly, Slowly
She lost her mind
All her pain is kept inside
Surely, Surely
They can't see
All her tears are drowning me
They flow down from her soul
The years pass by as wrinkles show
Simply, Simply
She breathes a sigh
All her life is stopped in time
Sadly, Sadly
They won't leave
All her ghosts that are haunting me
They chant their screams like lullabies
The sound goes on throughout the night
She weeps, I drown
She breathes, I choke
All my love, my heart she broke
She runs, I fall
She leaves, I die
All her pain becomes my cries
Slowly, Slowly
She lost her mind
All her pain is kept inside
Surely, Surely
They can't see
All her tears are drowning me
I am home?

No, I am somewhere
Somewhere dark and cold
But I don't know
If they know
That I don't belong

I am home?

No, I am no where
No where I want to be
But I can't tell
If they can tell
That I'm dying inside

I am home?

No, I am not there
There amongst my family
But I can't see
If they can see
Where I really hid my body

Is this my home?

There, buried in the ashes
Of where I used to live
If you listen you can still hear our hearts
Mother and child
Died together in agony

Is this my home?

My ghost wanders the remains
And I can remember again
Lavender rooms and beige floors
Large windows to see the world through
Three stories high so we could
Nearly touch the stars

I am home?

Yes, here within the rubble
Of an old white house
And now I know
That they now know
With death is where I belong
