So we're back where we last stood
This time I've grown an inch or two
Before I come home
Leave everything outside and lock the door
I'm so glad to be at home
Next time I will see with my eyes
Never again
Never will I leave my eyes at home again

It's about time to get out of here
This rotting place
Escape with haste
Before I start to lose all my years
Thinking back, don't do that
Start to sing as loud as I can
Over my fears and over tears
That I hold back for as long as I can
Let them go, past is past, I know
Give me a signal to approach this
A guiding light to my waking life
Keep in mind all things of interest
Don't forget where I've been, don't let it happen again
Sleeping at night has just been harder
It's only the beginning
How long will it take to recover?
Don't ask me while I'm driving
Oh, the evening sky's dark blue again
Race all the city lights, they all pass me by

Quick is the pace
The seasons change
Glue on a smile
Up on my face
Love is something I don't know
Feelings I cannot offer
They are at an all-time low
The sun laid down
It's dark all around
The moon's afraid
To show its face
This is a new phase for me
Start over again
I've been here before
Settle down and wait it out
To see what's in store for me
So what's in store for me?
With cautious eyes
I blanket in my darkness to hide from my past depressions
So where to from here?
She haunts me still
All hope seems lost
Kill me at will
I'm not ready yet for love
I take it back

Fix Me Well

7/23/05
Something's wrong
I can't lie to myself while I'm standing broken
So fix me well
Cause I can't tell why I'm waiting
Why can't time move faster
I've spent days
Not living, give me moments deserving
Enough time to blow me away
Far from this marker
Where waiting slows down time
Tomorrow is not promised
Face the fact of hardly living
Throw away my days
As if tomorrow never mattered if it ends up like today

A Simple Request
03:09
|

Just one shot is all it takes
You would love to see me fail
(Envious of all my friends)
My lack of strength is draining
Should I drop this lie or let it bleed?
(This serious is not a joke)
He asks, "Would someone please take me away?
Simply fall on my lap, I'm tired of the wait for change"
I'm in need of fillers
For now strings comfort my fingers
(Envious of all my friends)
Day in day out
I question all my doubts
(This serious is not a joke)

This time of waiting feels so dull and numb and low
Speed up hands I'm ready to go
Ticking clocks
It takes so long
I breathe in dust as I sit here waiting for a fresh start
I am waiting
I'm hoping
For my dreams to come true

I will fall asleep tonight
These thoughts they won't stop at anything
When silence becomes my worst enemy
I will fall asleep tonight
The clock ticks a beat like a metronome
That hurls a rhythm of attacks to my mind
It's a constant background for the battle in my room
The ceiling's closing in...
The crickets play songs their instruments
A full orchestra outside for me to hear
background for the battle in my room
The ceiling's closing in on me

"I have a small fear of flight, but when I'm in the air and when I try to
block that fear, I feel free. Nothing in the world could stop me. Flying through
the cloudy heavens on a whim with nothing to worry about but when this feeling will end.
Reoccurring dream episodes where I can't let go. But I will know it's for me..
when I hear an ANGELIC CHOIR lifting me to the sky."
8/22/06
I see broken glass on the floor.
Don't take another step
Don't pick it up with bare hands.
Wait for it to fade and melt into obscurity.
Don't wait for me to cross this fatal artery.
Go on ahead of me
Far away
Imagine to break free.
I see you on the other side
Being held back while I fly
Far away as you tell me.
I guess I will try.
Keep in mind as a warning
I will not stop for anything.
Don't wait for me to cross this fatal artery.
Go on ahead of me
Fly away,
Spread your wings
Fly away from me.
I'll survive in your memories.
I won't be missed by any.
So off I go.
(it's a change of pace)
I'm short
(take my place)
of breath.
(and don't look back)
Brace my lungs.
(you're what I lack)
(Don't Wait)
I cannot wait for you.
This entire place is so brand new.
I have come to build where I started from
I return, don't pinch me now.
I'm making sure I'm lucid in this waking world,
don't pinch me now, I'm making sure.

When I meet her I'll know.
Will I be sure?
You can call me anxious.
I'm in my cradle of waiting while fate circles above me.
When I meet her I'll know.
Will I raise a flag in surrender or show the colors of hope.
You can call me a dreamer.
Even when dreams this size are falsely accused to be impossible,
But who says so?
And will you listen?
Fate is fluttering freely above me.
Why won't it fall on me?
Don't be blind
Take a risk
I see my prize
I'm taking it.
I'm laced up and ready to fall for you.
Dreams have been telling me things about you.
I wake just to realize I need to find you.
I sleep as a way to know more about you.
Imagine her beautiful name, which is...

We glide around this ice rink
Outside it's colored snow
People all around us
Watch out where you go
I feel the need to tell you
Try to keep it low
Then you hold my hand...
ANGEL of winter
Go and spread your wings
And take us to such great heights
While floating along this hunk of ice tonight
Sometimes I wonder
When I slip and fall
While gliding on the ice tonight
Is this the closest to perfect I can find?
Constantly moving are the butterflies
Around this rink and in the air
Constantly moving are the three of us
The feeling of freedom without a care in this
World that we live in
Where the only thing I miss
Is when our hands seperate and O God how I wish that this
Moment would last forever
Mark it start and end
Play this loop forever and ever in my head
(Keep this safetly in my head)
(The shards of my vision; pieced clearly this moment, God)
We glide around this ice rink
Outside it's colored snow
People all around us
Watch out where you go
I feel the need to tell you
Try to keep it low
Then you hold my hand
I don't want to let you go
Conceal these secrets like a cloak
Let no one know
(This is for me)
Mouth shut closed
(This is for me)

I slowly fade as the seasons change.
At last they dance, winter snowflakes.
And as they fly through the whitest skies
They fade from view and so do I.
Consumed within, I turn into them.
The freezing temperatures will win.
Now this chamber's cold, it's beating so slow
That once it stops, so will the snow.
(Male)
Tonight, tonight
Black pavement fills with white.
I'm outside and all I see
are white sheets raised to my knees
(Female)
Like a scene in my heart.
(Harmony)
Bury me, Bury me so deep.
(Female)
Bittersweetness can pretend
(Harmony)
To say it all, say it all in one breath.
(Unison)
So it ends now;
This moment God allows.
'Holy' can describe
The peace we'll find in time.

Your life starts again
Twitch in back to the real
Where have you been?
Where I left off I couldn't find a reason to dream
It's been erased from my brain
Descending steps to this gap where I lived before
It's tough to fight the me I knew long ago
My legs are tired
This trip is taking so long,
Taking so long
Descending steps to this gap where I lived before
It's tough to fight the me I knew long ago
Unleash this fury that confides in this chamber
This fake reality, it sure isn't able
To break the silence of actions I only dream to take
It's about time you gave yourself a reason to live
Wandering aimlessly is a figment of the past
It slowly takes me beyond my hopes
It's about time you gave yourself a reason to dream
Wandering aimlessly is a figment of the past
It slowly takes me beyond my hopes
So let go
It slowly takes me beyond my hopes

Never settle for anything less
Or devastation will be strapped to your chest
Never settle for anything less
Humiliation will be tied to your "best"
Are you pleased to hear the sounds
That escape with a whisper from failures allowed?
Is content appearing again?
It's just an excuse for the acceptance of something that will never be,
But I will always be
Laid out are all our options
All we see are snowy peaks
The rest will speak for itself
Fix our minds to this promise:
To avoid the decadence of common sense in us all
So what do I choose?
CHOIRS of the heavens, I've yet to hear you...
Dare I say more?
Cause your voice is low
Need I hear more?

For Dreamers Only

Dreamers unite with a fist held high
Lead the ones whose dreams lead nowhere, rot and die
Take me somewhere I've never been
Where I'll be free
Search me as you did before
Test me again
Because this lonely heart has a lot to learn
Come down and save me again
(I know the answer
I know this and more
Something's taking over
Of this I'm sure)
Call me a liar
I know I haven't lived up to what I believe
Start this fire again but make it brighter
So the whole wide world can see it
I know the answer
I know this and more
Something's taking over
Of this I'm sure
Dreamers unite with a fist held high
Learn to dream for impossible things
Now just close your eyes, and dream...
(I can barely hear THEM sing...)
