I've walked alone on this old dirt road,
Far from my hopes & the dreams that I've sold,
To find a place that I can call my home,
Far from the lies that I have been told.

I've walked a line that no one else could,
Far from the eyes that watch all I do,
To find a realm removed from this world,
Far from the life that was me and you.

I've walked for miles on this old dirt road,
Far from the hate & the fighting of old,
To find a dream that I pray to keep,
Far from the bed that you left so cold.

I've walked for days just searching for me,
Far from the smiles & those tears cried in vain,
To find a heart that I can trade for mine,
Far from your words and the grip of your pain.

I've walked this life to the beat of my heart,
Far from the secrets and horrors I've seen,
To find a moment of peace in the light,
Far from the darkness of all that has been.

I've walked this way to the end of my days,
Far from the people that think my soul strange,
To find a way back to where hope was lost,
Far from the thoughts of a world I can't change

I must decide which words to shout
Which words to whisper
Which words to scream
Which words to silence
Which words to say in monotone
And where my voice cracks
Now we're back
To the beginning of the same sentence
I must decide where to look
Where to look for you
Where to look for piece of mind
And it's the confines in which you restrain your mind that dictate how you define
"Are you okay?"

I was the tides and you were the moon,
                             you brought me too close all too soon

and just like the tides all I can feel is the cold
                             we suddenly came crashing to a unfortunate halt.

You shouldn't have said you revolve round another
                             my voice sounds so dull when before it was thunder

if these words were lies I would surely paint them white
                             because honestly baby, I just don't wanna fight.

So please won't you stop rubbing salt in my wounds?
                             I wish what we had could again be resumed

however you are the moon and no doubt you'll move on
                             I barely even had you and you're already gone.

So your words are like anchors and I'm helplessly drowning
                            my heart was so strong but you stopped its pounding.

It took me quite some time
to realize
that there comes a point
when love
is no longer a good enough excuse
to endure
constant disappointment.

within my mind; an angel's light,
to guide me through the endless night,

within my heart; an angel's soul,
dispelling evil's dark control,

Within my arms; an angel's form,
protection from the demon swarm,

Within my bed; an angel's love,
to lift me to the skies above.
