Traveler

Is it worth the fleeting feeling of freedom,
To travel the road you're stumbling down?
For a while I'll follow in your footsteps,
Until my feet fumble and I fall behind.
Will you stop to hear my sorrow?
Will you rest with me until tomorrow,
Or just walk on and leave me behind?
Looking for whatever you can find,
No consideration for love or wasting your time.
Im just another traveler without a home.
Maybe I'll see you again some day down this winding road.

Infect the Senses

I want to taste the words that come off your tongue
I want to feel you search for me next to you
I want to hear your breath as you breathe me in
I want to smell your skin so paper thin
I want to see your smile as you let this begin

November

I do not miss the nightmares
The lonely nights, the empty stares
When cold days turn to sorrows
Or hard days try on my smile
I just think of you

Just Another Picture Frame

She rests again on your chest now,
So much to be said.
But the words are all just wrong now,
You hold her till the end.

And if you don't see her for a while now,
You'll just grin and bear the pain.
Because when she's back with a smile now,
You'll always wonder where she's been.

Just sit back and enjoy the view here,
Tomorrow's just another picture frame.
And don't count on the words now,
Because they all just sound the same.

Break the Spell

Does your sign tell you why?
Does your zodiac take you back?
To the love you're addicted to.
Do the stars make any sense to you?

If you can hold my hand and read it now,
Tell me when and where and how,
To win your heart and keep you here.
Can you reveal my truth and make it clear?

I don't believe in fate or destiny,
It's too hard to live in certainties.
So I'll trust the spirits guiding me tonight,
I'll burn the candles and put out the light.

Tell me my fortune and all you know,
Help me understand where I must go,
To find the answers that I need,
And break the spell you've cast on me.

Something to Hide

You're brainwashed by a perfect lie.
He puts on his daily disguise,
And looks at you with those clouded eyes,
Deep inside always something to hide.

He said he'd always love you.
So you say you don't mind to,
Ignore the other lovers,
Now you're lying to each other.

There's more falling apart and less to hold onto,
You're waiting for the day the lies will become truth.
I see you waiting, counting everyday your heart breaks,
And wondering how much more you can take.

Your every breath is a dying wish,
Just so you can get away from this.
And yet you hold on, burying the pain deeper every time,
Until it infects your heart and consumes your mind.

Left Behind

You think you know what's going on,
Like you know the words to this song.
And you'll try to sing along,
But you always get them wrong.

You don't want to be left behind,
So you spend your days standing in line.
And endless march of society,
You're many efforts to postpone reality.

We were never alright,
We're not even fighting the same fight.
And I don't know what went wrong,
I don't know where you belong.

I'm so sick of thinking sober,
Every night I live it over.
Burning holes into my brain,
You know I'll never be the same.

Fast forward twenty years,
I'll still see you with your tears.
Regret for what was done,
Like you're the only one.

Second In Line

I'm second in line
I'm not the one on your mind
Still I put in my time
And I'll stare till I'm blind
Because you're as bright as the sun
And you're the only one
Who makes me want to put down this gun
And finish what we have begun

Blank Page

You see her for all the reasons she's wrong
Time and words only seem to separate 
The memories of her beauty once clear and vivid
Have been replaced, saturated by doubt

But I see her with new eyes, ready to be surprised
By flawless beauty and simple charm
Unscathed by the world which now stands still
Your dim spirit like a veil lifted from her
A new story's beginning on this blank page

Another New Generation

I'm beginning to understand why the drunks, the dropouts, the rejects and the washouts are the way they are.

I can somehow relate to this warped view the desperate masses have as they stumble the streets at night.

Looking for one more hit, one more quick fix, one more sip, one last hoorah before they fall back down.

Self worth, self preservation; nobody has time for luxuries when you're constantly running.

We're not anything special, we're just the early stages of a warning message to another new generation.

Live easy, have fun, and if it doesn't work be familiar with  your gun because you can't count on tomorrow's sun.

Fateful Day

They say take it slow, rethink your mind

All you have is the rest of time

There's no hurry for this love youre after

Forget your troubles, join in on the laughter

But the real humor is the games they play

And the poison in the words they say

I don't deny this inner travesty

I won't pretend I'm not exactly what you see

A worried soul never resting

Thoughts and theories ever testing

To prove to only one, it's still worth it now

And put down the pain, you'll make it somehow

Not now, not ever, will they see

The real condition of the man in me

The fragile cracks on which they walk

The weight of the words they carelessly talk

It might all be mended by a single word

If the meaning of which is ever heard

Before the sun sets on that fateful day

Before it's all given up and thrown away

I Tried

It's hard not to stare, just as difficult to pretend not to care,

But I won't ask how long you think this will last,

Because I don't want a repeat of the past.

I'll prepare the knot in this rope even as I hold onto a hope,

That I'm wrong and just afraid, too impatient to wait another day,

For the answers I seek and the mayhem I reap.

When all the dust has come to rest, at least I can say I tried my best.

Definition

When you leave my arms it's so bittersweet,
The memory lingering in your scent left on me,
Watching you walk away,
Day dreaming of another day,
When you're here next to me,
A new definition of simplicity.

Still Alive

I'd give up if I thought for one second the sound of your voice wouldn't relight the fire in me.
Walking away would be so easy if I could stop running back to you when you say my name.

There is no feeling, no passion in my eyes,
Until you fill them, complete with your lies.
I can't make things better, I can't fix this now,
I still feel you with me, still alive somehow.

Let Me Down

I hate trusting you

You never come through

You always let me down

And run me around

You say I do this to myself

I can't blame anyone else

So why are you always there

Why do you even care

I'm chasing a dream

So close I could scream

But you're always in my way

Taking my life away

I lie down while you take control

No individuality, I've lost my soul

There's nothing left but regret

I've made my last bet

And I've wasted it on you

Just like you wanted me to
