A mind without reason
echoes of a past
of a changing season

Memories turning to stone
looking through broken glass
of all that is gone

A city burning to dust
losing faith in trust
with demons burning inside us
and we do what we must

In a world of lies and treason
do we stand here alone
with a smoking gun
in a world burning like the sun

Souls cry for freedom
as time slips by so fast
burning in what we have become

I have no children to carry my name
there is no love or a family
who will remember me when I'm gone
all I have are my words to carry on
to leave behind what I have done

I'm not looking for riches or fame
don't need a red carpet rolled out for me
I just want the whole world to see
all that was burning inside of me
to carry on with my legacy
of who it was that I am
what made me into this man

I want the world to see and know
all that I had here that I would show
through these thoughts I write for you

I'm not seeking to be held in praise
when it's time for my final days
just want the world to see what I been through
and the dreams that I made
behind these eye's that soon will fade

I sat down by the edge of the river
where the dreams of us use to flow
with pen in my hand
I wrote all my love to you
everything I wanted to say
I wrote all in this letter
that I could never seem to send

It said I would give my love to you
if I could please only make you stay
I would give my love to you
and dance with you forever
if you could only find a way
I would give my love to you each day
like the one that you never knew
and every morning would always bring something new
if you could believe in a love so true

I could give you the night and
turn your sky blue
but now only a time tells stories
that's written in the sand
as I close my eyes to pretend
that I never let you go

It's alright if right now you can't love me
still I will love you the same anyway
and it's alright if you have to leave
I know you have your reasons not to stay
I can see it in your eyes when you look at me
it's alright if you speak to me with silence
I know sometimes words can never come easy
but I can still hear everything that you say
it's alright if you need to take some time away
because what you are to me I still believe
and this heart will just be okay
until your not lost and find me again along the way
where I will be waiting for another chance
and saving for you my last dance

You keep looking for shelter from the rain
searching for a piece of mind
something you lost once inside
that is still hard to find
wading through river's deep and wide
and there's no Angel by your side
no wing's to help you fly
sorrow drowns you as you slowly die
You keep running for shelter from the pain
looking for peace left unkind
turning the pages that you can't rewind
staring at a face in a mirror
seeing days that use to look so much clearer
running for shelter hiding from the tears
as the blue in the Sky disappears
memories only wash away the years

Faith taught to you with each test
a touch of a love you wanted to believe
but still you can only feel faith leave
as you're left alone standing in a darkness
with the weight bared down on your chest
you can no longer feel faith pressed

Surrounded now with only an emptiness
where an Angel's lips once kissed
with screams echoing of a sadness
words spoken are now only silenced
where beside you Angel's once long ago danced

Heaven closes a door on when you were blessed
with an Angel's touch you no longer feel caressed
while time turns away on you
you can see a light but can't get through
as the gray fills a sky once so blue

When your name is only a number
in a plastic generation
and colors are only an imagination
burning through a blood red sky
when the dreams they mean nothing
in the black of forever
still trying to reach for something
in the dark of your own revelation
who you going to be
when the world that you hunger for
is no longer anymore
as they watch your soul die
and freedom is no longer free
through who's eye's are you going to see
