The word warm doesn't do you justice
You're brighter than the sun
The word beauty is uttered lifeless
For it you have overcome
Never did I believe that I'd cross you
A specter of the past long gone
Always thought that I had lost you
But now you're back here in my arms
How can it be? I still don't know you
Did you travel that far across time?
Have you seen the life I've had to go through?
Have you been trying to get into mine?
Well now you made it, you're here and I love you
Your colors shine so bright in my eyes
For so long I have been thinking of you
And now you're here to light up my skies
So please tell me this day has no ending
Please tell me that you're here for me
Unto you my heart I am rending
Oh, this wandering soul you've set free

Use Once And Dispose
The door shuts and the feeling returns
Eyes are open, stinging again
The hour is late and the fan blades spin
Knowledge of these transgressions learned
I am an inconvenience to you
Of this I have always been aware
Yet you blame me when no one is there
When your face turns a black shade of blue
Hold your breath just to see if you faint
In the hopes that I won't let you fall
I won't be there to save you at all
Lover, savior or partner? I ain't
Just a toy that you use when needed
Bled dry when all I have is gone
No perception of right or wrong
Crushed to dust, left for nothing, defeated
So I know that your life is rough
Must be nice to live comfortably
Must be great to have somebody
While I'm begging to just have enough
Remember who you're talking to
On that day that you're feeling down
When you stick my face in the ground
Just remember the life you choose
When you move onto someone new
Just remember I'm still around
Broken, beaten but still unbound
Yeah I guess I'll still wait here for you.

Not Interested
You come at me with a smiling face and a gentle kiss
You hold me in your arms with a temporary bliss
Your naivete never seems to get you far
Perhaps you'd work much better if you were who you are
COME ON - tell me that I am your focus
COME ON - tell me that this is not hopeless
COME ON - you and I both know it's bogus
This is hocus pocus
You're asking me to save you
You're begging me to tame you
You want me to make room in my heart
Sorry - not interested
You're hurting yourself for my attention
And you've forgotten to mention
You've already split yourself apart
Sorry - not interested
You called me up the other day and hung the phone back up
You wrote to me and told me I should keep in touch
How many other people are longing for your love?
How many have to burn before you've had enough?
COME ON - tell me you know what you're doing
COME ON - tell me the caged bird still has wings
COME ON - you and I both know it's nothing
So just give me something
You're asking me to save you
You're begging me to tame you
You want me to make room in my heart
Sorry - not interested
You're hurting yourself for my attention
And you've forgotten to mention
You've already split yourself apart
Sorry - not interested
Like an octopus's tentacles
You reach out and squeeze your victims
But when they fight back for their life
You try to make them feel wrong
But I've got my own set of spectacles
And I know you're the one that did this
You may die believing you were right
But I've known the truth all along
Reverse psychology
Not gonna work on me
The pain you inflicted
Left me uninterested
You try to turn it around
You can't get off the ground
God you're so limited
Sorry, I'm not interested
You hold me in your arms with a temporary bliss
Your naivete never seems to get you far
Perhaps you'd work much better if you were who you are
COME ON - tell me that I am your focus
COME ON - tell me that this is not hopeless

Back To You
Come now, angel, don't you cry
I'll sing you a lullaby
When you're weak, I will be strong
If I go, it won't be for long
I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
I've been yours for all of time
When dark reigned, you made me shine
When I sing, you give me rhyme
I am yours, and you are mine
I come running back to you
I come humbly back to you
When my soul's in need of you
You fill me, make me renewed
So I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
You can never disappear
When my eyes close, you're still here
I can feel you in the air
You are always everywhere
So though you left this earth last night
I know I will be alright
Not one single tear I'll cry
I know you are standing by
I come running back to you
I come humbly back to you
When I feel like life's a waste
And I can't fill an empty space
I will remember your face
And earth will be a brighter place
I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
Every time I'm in decline
I'm still yours, and you're still mine
Every time I stand up proud
I'll say your name right out loud
I'll keep running back to you
I'm still humble 'cause of you
Your fire always burns in me
I'll love you eternally
I'll sing you a lullaby
When you're weak, I will be strong
If I go, it won't be for long
I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
I've been yours for all of time
When dark reigned, you made me shine
When I sing, you give me rhyme
I am yours, and you are mine
I come running back to you
I come humbly back to you
When my soul's in need of you
You fill me, make me renewed
So I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
You can never disappear
When my eyes close, you're still here
I can feel you in the air
You are always everywhere
So though you left this earth last night
I know I will be alright
Not one single tear I'll cry
I know you are standing by
I come running back to you
I come humbly back to you
When I feel like life's a waste
And I can't fill an empty space
I will remember your face
And earth will be a brighter place
I'll come running back to you
I'll come humbly back to you
Every time I'm in decline
I'm still yours, and you're still mine
Every time I stand up proud
I'll say your name right out loud
I'll keep running back to you
I'm still humble 'cause of you
Your fire always burns in me
I'll love you eternally
Better Now
Standing by myself, it's no surprise
Crystalline and clear within your eyes
I hold you closer by the dimming lights
And we will stay together here tonight
Like the fire you see in my soul
It's burning bright and out of my control
Ignite the spark inside you, set you free
So I don't miss what's right in front of me
There's never gonna be a better now
We might as well hold onto this somehow
If there's a way to stay
I'll find it here today
Inside your memory
There's never gonna be
A better now
Superficial lines upon your skin
And all your beauty still resides within
I started up a fight I'll never win
The day I gave myself to you again
I'm holding on inside to something gone
I don't know if it's right or if it's wrong
I just know that my heart will not let go
And I think that it's time I let you know that
There's never gonna be a better now
We might as well hold onto this somehow
If there's a way to stay
I'll find it here today
Inside your memory
There's never gonna be
A better now
One of these days you'll walk my way
One of these days you'll want to stay
And one of these days you'll take this broken heart
And mend it up for me
I can see you now
There wasn't supposed to be another time
I'm waiting here for you to walk this line
There's never gonna be a better now
We might as well hold onto this somehow
If there's a way to stay
I'll find it here today
Inside your memory
There's never gonna be
A better now
I'm better now
I'm better now
I'm better now
Crystalline and clear within your eyes
I hold you closer by the dimming lights
And we will stay together here tonight
Like the fire you see in my soul
It's burning bright and out of my control
Ignite the spark inside you, set you free

I'm better now

Lamentation
It would be best if you'd forgotten me
I've naught to offer this old sordid Earth
I never was to find a life of glee
I never was to realize my worth
My soul is all but ready to depart
My body wrecked and slowly come undone
You now must sever memory from your heart
Save space in there should you find anyone
Not I, though. No not I. I'll fade away
I'll drift with blackest eyes into the ground
No eulogistic words or reckoning day
Could stop this ancient horrifying sound
Waiting to pass beyond the grasp of light
My coffin borne six feet through dirt removed
I tried but I could never win the fight
I spoke the truth of things I never proved
I wasted life and have nothing to show
I could not find a solitary love
No prying spades shall bother me below
Thankful that I am no longer above
You did not understand me once at all
That will not be a problem anymore
Gone quietly into the Reaper's call
To find what lies beyond Lethean shores
One day you'll understand what I have earned
I loved and could not find love in return
I lived with passion, fire inside me burned
And nary was a single lesson learned
Please do not cry for me unless you must
My heart was there for all of you entwined
And though I may now be a child of dust
I remain in you till the end of time
I've naught to offer this old sordid Earth
I never was to find a life of glee
I never was to realize my worth
My soul is all but ready to depart
My body wrecked and slowly come undone
You now must sever memory from your heart
Save space in there should you find anyone
Not I, though. No not I. I'll fade away
I'll drift with blackest eyes into the ground
No eulogistic words or reckoning day

Waiting to pass beyond the grasp of light

Subterfuge
Three hundred and sixty degrees
Ninety one more and you could burn the world's knowledge
Two hundred sixty one point four less and you could reach my core
But for now you're just spinning full circle
Over and over
Like a pointless carousel of carnage
Yeah, I guess my soul is tarnished
Don't even try to tell me yours isn't the same.
What do you see when you look at me?
When you look at you?
When you look at them?
Do you stand befuddled and haw and hem
Or do you find the quickest path to conformity?
Look astonished at the world's enormity
Don't worry, you're about to hear a lot more of me
Or you can do what the rest of the world does
Jack back into the Matrix
Live your life in cryostasis
With every breath in me I hate this
Baseless, faceless society
Sucked into tablets and iPad screens
You think you're smart just because you read
But you've forgotten to retain the information
Forgotten to obtain a revelation
Free to choose your slavery
Divination?
No. I'm just erupting like a mountain of truth
Everlasting and pure like a fountain of youth
Yet pressing and invoking like a burden of proof
You cannot deny.
You're living a lie.
But it's okay, so am I.
