"To Live Again"

 TO LIVE AGAIN

 In the dark of the night

 In the thin hours of the morning

 Alone with my thoughts

 Alone with the burden

 I’ve been here before

 Now I lie alone

 I’ve seen myself die

 Do I have the strength to live again

 Should I think only of myself

 Or do you wish this of me too

 I don’t know what to do

 I feel myself shaking

 To live once again

 Are they my dreams

 Or my nightmares

 Or just one in the same

 Do I plunge in again

 Throw my ashes to the wind

 Let the sea cleanse my soul

 Wash one life away

 Continue in another

 It is mine to take

 It is yours to give

 Do I take the chance

 Is it there to begin with

 Do I have the strength to live again

 Will I feel it happen

 I just dream of something

 In a hope that will never come

 I just dread of something

 In a hope that it is going to come

 I hold my breath

 I can breathe again

 Anticipation of my only prayer

 Please, I hold my breath

 Let me live again

 I am cold

 I am alone

 I am alive

 To my knowledge

 I breathe

 Lost to all the lessons I have learned

 I must learn again

 I am alive

 Though the ones that I love

 The faces I knew

 Drift passed me unfeeling

 The memories are mine

 I do not recall

 They elude me

 Though my presence

 I feel is real

 In the dark of the night

 In the thin hours of the morning

 Alone with my thoughts

 Alone with the burden

 I’ve been here before

 Do I have the strength to live again

"Take a Moment"

TAKE A MOMENT

Take a moment
Strip away all these lies
Don’t lead me down the wrong path
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I will find my own demise

Take a moment
Live without sin
Just for a moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Cover up all your lies
You don’t think anyone notices them
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I’ve got my own lies to hide

Take a moment
Make a mistake, take a picture
Forget what you learned again
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I can play the fool as well

Take a moment
Live without stupidity
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Sit down and face your fears
Lie in fear of what you have caused
Take a moment
Give me a moment
While I wait and fear the sunrise

Take a moment
Look at the pain you cause yourself
Lose sight of happiness
Take a moment
Give me a moment
While I take my share of self abuse
Take a moment
Live without regret
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

Take a moment
Try to forget the nightmares
Steal away the dreams you once had
Take a moment
Give me a moment
I lie awake at night as well

Take a moment
Forget about how it was supposed to be
Time passes no matter what
Take a moment
Give me a moment
It seemed so simple when I was young

Take a moment
Live without love
Just for one moment
It’s harder than it looks

"I Am At Peace"

I AM AT PEACE

I feel the answer
To my questions are near
My head upon your thigh
With your breath
I see your stomach rise
I see your skin pulse
With every beat of your heart

I feel a thought
The answers to all my questions
Lies beneath your skin

I am at peace

I have not failed
If I live inside you
To hide inside you
Where I want to be
Pull your skin over me
Sleep and dream
You give me life

I have the strength
That time has taken from me
Hide inside your arms

I am at peace

"Look at You"

LOOK AT YOU

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Entwined in your nature
Vines of poison and beauty
Enlighten you
Through the blood
That you shed upon their thorns
Flow through the sky
Buried in the earth
Drowned in the tears
Sorrow and joy
Drink the drink of life
Poured down your throat
Everlasting intoxication
Drips from your eyes
To see the colours
Blend together
In harmony and madness
Laugh at nothing
Charm yourself in everything
Hung around your neck
To carry it always
The light will shine
For you

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you
For so long
Wind blow
Rush passed you
Like arrows in the night
Threaten to pierce your flesh
Unaware of the threat
Your senses have led you to
Rain dilute the blood
That is spilled
Rain wash away
Unwanted rhymes
From the world of the unknowing
Cast a shadow on the days past
Set ablaze
The future before my eyes
Ash, dust, broken glass
Start again
Bleed the soil with life
Move away with the changing tide
Marry into danger
To see how safe you live your life
Carry a torch
To pity those you do care for
Throw your fire
To the beast
Fish don’t swim well in the dirt
Gasp for air
When they need water
Gasp for air
Pray for rain
Pray for flowers in your hair
Let the dust settle
Deep deep deep
In the carpets
You wouldn’t need to clean it
Out of sight
Burden the mind
With paranoid dream
Awake asleep
Cross the road
Do it again from the other side
On fresh land
Grass that does not smell of urine
Feel pity
As if you have never been
On the other side
I have no choice
But to beat you
Until your eyes bleed
If only you could see
Things the right way
Fly like a bird with no legs
No hindrance
Walk with your hands tied
Same thing

Look at you
Look at the shackles
That have held you for so long
Let the ice melt
Free the seas
Flow again through your veins
Gain momentum
Heart races
Mind chases to keep up
Downhill
Run free
Run crazy
Like the beasts that howl
In the night
Take care
Not to lose your mind

"Don't Let Me Go"

DON’T LET ME GO


When my day has come to an end
I no longer see the light ahead
When I come to a close
The burden drifts from my soul

I do not wish to fade
Please don’t let me fade away
I dream of sleepless nights
That haunt and taint my daily life
I dream of hurt and pain
I dream of crying in the rain
I wish my thoughts could bring me life
That I never lost the fight

But most of all I wish from you
The one thing I fear is true
Not to close the door to me
Pull the blind so not to see
The love and memories I share with you
Please don’t let me fade away
Don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go

So much I shared with you
Because of you
Every dream came true
My blood is part of you
Nothing will ever end this truth

But now I look to you
Please don’t let this become untrue
I dream of anger and of fear
The days I wished you were not there
I dream of abuse and stress
I dream of people making my life a mess
I wish my prayers could bring me life
That I never gave up the fight

But most of all I wish from you
The one thing I fear is true
Not to close the door to me
Pull the blind so not to see
The love and memories I share with you
Please don’t let me fade away
Don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go

My thoughts never cease to pine for you
What I once was now falls to you
Please don’t let me fade away
Don’t ever let me go
Don’t ever let me go
Please
Don’t let me go

"Child"

CHILD

Congratulations child
You’ve done somethin’ in life
That most people dream of
Only in the night

You shine so brightly
Nothing fazes you
Something burns inside
That never fades in you

What’s gone wrong?
What changes you?
So free a child
Something’s killing you

Where does it come from?
What’s tainting you?
I see you slipping
I fear for you

Can I help you child?
Hold you close
If I could only talk to you
I’m at such a loss

If only I knew the words
If only I had the chance
If only I noticed you
Then you would not pass

I feel I failed you
Left you behind
I still watch for you
You’re always in our minds

"Among Us"

AMONG US

Wash my body of the lies
Burn the books that hold the truth
Blind the eyes that see
Cover the mouths of those who speak

We might as well be mute
The world might as well be deaf
Bleed the earth
Steal the life from her hands

Release those that are corrupt
To burden our senses with delusion
Bury our happiness under the feet of fear
Create chaos in our dreams

Pour salt in the wounds of our existence
Steal from the children
Their hopes and dreams
Walk among us
