Sadness Becomes Me

Your voice is faint, as you cry your crystal tears
Shattered dreams remain out of reach
Dying more each day, living out your years
Nothing more, can I teach

I dwell inside your heart, but the walls are closing in
Its tearing me apart, allow me this final sin
The voice you hear is mine, but let the screams begin
Your sadness becomes me…..

Look into my eyes now, don't let your gaze stray
You'll miss the point where the madness takes me
For if one moment I can't see myself in you
I'll lose myself, and you'll never find me

I dwell inside your heart, but the walls are closing in
Its tearing me apart, allow me this final sin
The voice you hear is mine, but let the screams begin
Your sadness has become me…

Waiting for Sleep

Sometimes I wish we could all step back
And Maybe we could call off the attack
I'm waiting for sleep but look into my eyes
You'll see that dreams aren't something I lack

I lay here, late at night in bed
staring within, into the air
hearing the lies, and the alibis
And wishing that I didn't care

And you with all the years you've known me
Did you think that you and I were just killing time?
Its just one more pitcher of change that life poured me
And I can't sweeten this one up, not this time

So sugar, grab a slice of lime we're having humble pie
Go work on that bedside manner with some other guy
I've heard them all, just give your number to the sheep
I'm going to close my eyes and quietly wait for sleep

I want..

I want to walk with you holding hands in the rain,
awaken in the morning fulfilled, not in pain
To have loved deeply and be loved not in vain
To feel content, relaxed, heart pure not stained
To kiss passionately, for hours, for days
To let love unfold in a million ways
Tonight it grows, tomorrow it stays
Kindled, unbridled, on fire, ablaze

Swansong

I hear you singing in the dead of night
Underneath the moon and starlit sky
frost on the ground sparkles with dim light
Melt those frozen wings and learn to fly

I'm carrying all my dreams inside,
riding on a single beam of light
Seeking only what lies beyond the tide
a destination for this moonlit flight.
