Flash

-27 March 2003-

Come into this world
With a flash of lights
Born into your arms
With a heart of gold
Give me a second
And I'll sell your soul.
Come onto me
As I would abuse you
Let go of the world
As it'd do naught
But mercilessly kill you.
With these flashing lights
And the aching words
Will you be for me?
Or will you die for you?
All around the shadows
I'll sing for you
All around the shadows
I'll pine for you
All around the shadows
I'll live for you.
Come into this world
Blinded by the lights
Dying in my arms
Your heart rotted through
Give me eternity
And I'll see you through.

Fear

Fear

-26 March 2003-

Darkened halls
Vanilla scents
Closed eyes
Scared mind
Running away
From the monster
Of many fears
Catching up now
It's been years
Run faster, run
In his final flee
Make not a sound
Not a final plea
Sounds closer
Heart beats faster
Now all over
In front is
The nightmare from which he ran
Looking it up and down
Recognition dawned
on his face.
It was he, himself
From another time,
another place.

Eyes

Eyes

-24 March 2003-

Her eye's held mine
As I drifted away
To the land of dreams
To sleep for the night
And even the next day
I slipped into unconsciousness
Her body close to mine
Warming me up
As I dream cold dreams
Nightmares take me
And thrash my mind
She stay's and holds me
And comfort my soul
Her musical voice
Soft touch to the cheek
I slowly awake
To see an angel
Holding me close
And protecting me
Keeping me warm
From the chill of death
Wrapping me up
And taking me away
To her home in heaven
So far up above
Placing a road beneath my feet
So that I am no longer lost
And no longer wander around
Aimlessly and dumb
Happiness was a block away
From the place I stood
I ran and ran
As fast as I could manage
The faster and farther I traveled
The more my existence thinned out
To almost clear right through
I couldn't see
And could not hear
What you saw
And what you said
Running fast, and blind as a bat
I tumbled and fell
Right off the edge.

Enemy

Enemy

-22 March 2003-

Seeping with the blood of an enemy
Someone who I never see
Calling out my name over and over
Urging me closer and closer
To the edge of it's world
And the chasm between.
Seeping with the blood of an enemy
Someone who I always hear
Looking and looking for me always
It searches far and low,
near and high
Coming closer and closer to me
And the chasm between.
Seeping with the anger of a thousand
Radiating like heated metal
Burning all that comes near
And killing those still far
Lighting the way to it's world
By giving back the darkness.
Seeping with the love of none
Cold in the darkness above
Heated by the souls below
Looking off in the distance
To the darkness still there
And the light that never comes.
Seeping with the blood of an enemy
Someone who I never see
Calling out my name over and over
Urging me closer and closer
To the edge of it's world
And the chasm between.
Standing upon the other side,
I face myself, I, and me.

Dreaming in Trees

Dreaming in Trees

-20 March 2003-

I can't see anything,
Anything past the trees.
I can't do anything,
Frozen by the dreams.
Would you climb them,
And risk falling?
Would you enter them,
And risk sleeping forever?
Would you pierce them?
And risk loosing it's precious sap?
Would you deny them?
And risk awakening to reality?
For the trees and dreams,
For the sanity of me.

Defeated

Defeated

-17 March 2003-

I admit defeat, today.

I cannot win this.

I cannot go on.

I admit defeat, today.

I admit defeat tomorrow.

I admit defeat.

And yet, I will go on.

And yet, I will go more.

And yet, I will keep up.

And with defeat

So shall I prosper.

And with defeat

So shall I work more.

And with defeat

I will start over

A clean slate,

oh how I wish.
