I want all of your heart
all of your soul
I want all of you
to never let go
I want to give you
all of me to know
all I have is part
only part of your heart

burning in the shadows
lightning in my dreams
thunder in my ears
beatings in my heart
beat until it falls apart
clash the drums until
I can not hear , lightning strikes
reality is never what it seems
these shadows of mine
are going to burn me to hell
my secrets I will never tell
your secrets I will never tell
hide in the dark lies
to never be told
my dreams can never be sold
twisting and turning , screeching and yearning
yelling in silence when the darkness falls
who can hear my silent screams
what holds inside
dancing through my mind
the wind blows
one rolling thought after another
where is my brother I never heard
my sister I will never know
truth be told
its getting very cold out here
as the storm settles to a quiet rythum
burning in the shadows
where the beat of my heart stops
no one will ever know

I have this overwhelming desire
to be with you my love
hate when I dream of you
when I awake your nowhere near
so sad desperate for your touch
aching in need for your love
my dreams are my visions
promises to keep
secrets to hide
one day you will find
me in my dreams
your sleeping beauty
and kiss me out of my nightmares
until then I awake in overwhelming desire

where are you?
in my time of need
as I cry out to you
I just want the truth
how long must this go on
where are you?
I don't feel you
I don't see you
speak to me
as I cry out to you
show me as I look
for your visions of truth

every day is a battle
my mind battles
with my heart
my heart battles
with my soul
its a battle
that never ends
and so no one
ever really wins

I will be anything
you want me to be
I will do anything
you want me to do
you see, I will
become a monster
just like you
if it means
forever I can
stay with you

I hate nights like these
shut my eyes
only to see the dark shadows
I don't recognize
shuffling around behind my eyelids
like little kids
playing hide and seek
I can never see there faces
look closer, look closer I scream
no sound ever escapes my mouth
its not a dream
I'm awake completely aware
of the scare
dark shadow men
with no faces
paralyzed by fear
who are they, what do they want?
its never clear
I hate nights like these
Oh, I wont sleep
