On an expedition we shall go
Into the deep dark unknown
I do not know what shall be found
No sudden movement nor sound

To begin this my friend
Travel my souls darkest end
For your thoughts I will bend
It is time for you to descend

The horrors that I see
The evil that lays inside of me
Rattling away trying to break free
Do not worry for I hold the key

The key to a stained heart
This is only the start
My soul will tear you apart
My minds purest art

Black liquid spilling from the walls
Darkness seeping in through your pores
With a high screech the voice calls
Your soul it now draws

To tear from your whole
Left with nothing but a dark soul
Your heart filled with holes
Total loss of control

What has come of me?
Everything is changing.
What shall be?
Life rearranging

My heart on a mountain range
My mind racing the speedway
Never felt so strange
Everything changing day by day

Do I have a passion?
Or am I just lost
In life's transaction.
Has everything been tossed?

Nothing makes sense
Not anymore,
Everything intense
Where is my call?

Where shall this end?
One day I'll know.
For now these wounds I tend,
One day I shall go.

But until then
I'll do what I can.
I will not bend
I shall ascend

I have lost who I am
Or was I just never found
I don't know when this began
Where do I start? Feeling drowned

I subconsciously blend
I'm a natural chameleon
My emotions and thoughts bend
I feel like an alien

Whomever I stand by
Is who I become
I could breakdown and cry
All these influences, like gum

I'm deep down somewhere
Just no clue where to begin
I need a white light to appear
Or forever my world will spin

You sit down to write the perfect song
To the tune that's stuck in your head
You just need the right words to go along
But most everything has already been said

You could write about unrelenting love
Or the love that is no longer there
To tell the truth hasn't there been more than enough
And does true love really care

The lyrics have to be more than can be seen
Words that envelop all space and time
So your search dives deeper into the abyss
Trying to capture the perfect rhyme

I't doesn't have to be a song you can dance to in the streets
But one that still moves the heart
The rhythm of language will replace the hearts beat
That is at this moment where you find that you are

You decide to walk the road of life a little ways more
Hoping inspirational words fill your head soon
Knowing full well this song will explain what all life is for
Until then you'll continue whistling the tune...

Pen and paper in each hand
Off we set to expand
Entry to a magic place
Through our hearts we embrace
Rendered deep from our soul
Y**earn for stories to be told

Love is like a gorgeous rose
with time and care beauty grows

A beautiful aroma fills the air
from all the love and all the care
vibrant colors warm the eyes
rose flourishing, reach for the sky

There are times when the rose won't bloom
That doesn't mean I'm through with you
Although it appears a barren bush
This love just needs a little push

Though the thorns may cause a heart to bleed
Through the pain you soon will see
All these pains can be healed
Just as long as you don't yield

Learn from each moment
Forever enjoy it
The rose is just a metaphor of
An ever growing love
