The Tie That Binds
i wanna dig a great big hole
deep down in the ground
and crawl inside with you
i wanna crawl inside with you
i wanna crawl amongst the leaves
i wanna crawl on hands and knees
i wanna inside with you
let’s escape down underground
and live together safe and sound
let’s pack ourselves away forever
the tie that binds will never sever
will you run away with me
let’s escape and let’s be free
you are the sweetest thing i’ve found
i want to live forever bound
let’s escape down underground
and live together safe and sound
let’s pack ourselves away forever
the tie that binds will never sever
Counterpart
You are of another kind
You’ve said my thoughts
You’ve read my mind
You know my fears
You share them too
And think of me as I do you
You’re my reflection
Your voice my own
Solitary souls
One sacred home
Another time, another place
A different land, a different space
A graceful fervor to be shared
Was there a moment that you cared?
Should this love go undeclared?
Was there a reason why you cared?
This love should not go undeclared
I know no space, no time constraints
We see and feel instrinsicly
Magical, mysterious
Illogical and curious
Beyond desire eternally
Another time, another place
A different land, a different space
A graceful fervor to be shared
Another world, another heart
A different state of mind and heart
Was there a moment that you cared?
Should this feeling go unshared?
This love should not go undeclared.
Another time.
Another place.
My Side Was Always Right
beneath a starless night
i found you humbled by my side
so weakened by remorse
i shattered every bit of pride you had
you had
you had
you had it all then you bid goodbye
goodbye
goodbye to joyful times
and
through the night
you huddled tearful by my side
my side
my side was always right.
beneath the strain of life
you found yourself amongst the rogues
they pushed you down
much faster than you meant to drown
and drown
and drown
and drown your sorrows, drink your pain
your pain
your suffering, your grief and agony
shall set you free
shall set you free
shall set you free
shall set you free
Something For Your Mind
something for your mind
your heart and soul
i want to know what
makes you happy
what makes you sad
what makes you sigh
what makes you cry
and we talked, we talked
for just a moment in time
i enjoyed the talk
i enjoyed the walk…
i am blessed for that moment in time
and i question, why him?
when others pass through my life each day
why him?
i want to know everything about you
i want to know your hopes
i want to know your fears
i want to know what makes you laugh
i want to know what causes tears
i want to know what you love
i want to know what you hate
i want to know what you want me to do
i want to know everything
about
you.
Does It Really Matter?
Does it really matter what i feel
When i shove it down inside
Does it really matter if i care
When no life’s behind these eyes
Of mine
Of mine..
It never mattered what i felt
I kept it hidden all along
It never mattered if i cared
No life will ever shine again
Again
Again…
I never mattered much to you
I always thought you cared
Does it matter anymore
I could have been happy
I could have been so happy
I never mattered, i never cared
This is worthless
This is hopeless
You never cared
You never will
You never will
Cease to love
And seas of hate
I bear the cross of
Years of pain
I bear the cross
Your Letters
don’t you recall the letters that were written
they so quickly fade from memory
don’t you see?
tender words behind all stories
there’s no mercy to face
no sweetest embrace
you were the final lesson in pure aggression
and taught me that love is only a laugh
for a heart to not exist
just a poisonous kiss
it will bring me down on my knees
it will bring me down to my knees
you say it’s the fate of humanity
that love can’t exist between you and me
you’re so full of it all
it’s another excuse to witness my fall
i can always be used
you’ll still be my muse
while you only confuse
to love is to lose
it’s so sad to see you distressed and dismayed
but i love you more and more each day
your confounded thoughts and your envyblue eyes
don’t say you loved me, i don’t fall for lies
Please Tell Me Why -
please tell me why these thoughts of death
feelings of an ending life
torture
pain
anguish
hurt
i know i cause so much discomfort
why does it feel so right?
to think just of the pain
the mechanics, oh the method
hows, whys, where to die
why it’s so beyond me
why it’s so so far from me
my confidence
ability.
i say i’d be better off dead
i can’t when i care for you
all i am is unfair to you
all i want is to leave you there
to live your life away from me
my frailty to care
to know the final act of suffering
i could give the one who truly cares
a pain i’ve never felt before
a pain i’ve never felt before
you can overcome
forget what was done
it would be the best for you
and truly
the best for me
i say i’d be better off dead
i can’t when i care for you
all i am is unfair to you
all i want is to leave you there
to live your life away from me
Cliched?
who seeks the truths that others miss?
their cliched lives of routine bliss
who seeks to find some valid joy
when it never fails to disappoint?
who seeks out others who proclaim
it’s not just me who felt all the blame?
who seeks the knowledge of heart and soul
with no guidance of where to go?
while those have laughed at those who’ve cried
they only avoid the shame they’ve denied
and those that do scorn the sad and the scared
are hiding the heart that they dare not to bare
but those who are numb
are the ones who’ve succumbed
who needs to find solace and calm from within?
who needs to discover the place to begin?
who confides and who tries
just to get shoved aside
who comes up for air
just to be denied?
but still manages to care
for the ones who weren’t there
From This Day Forward
from this day forward
i was given the duty to embrace
the passion that is life
to go beyond my means
when day and night in darkness
is not longer a choice
embrace the light which is to live
seize the day
carpe diem
to live is to breathe
to breathe is to be alive
not only in flesh
in heart and soul
to honor those before
to love the ones to come
Hold On
Hope has given way to tears
Drown your sorrows and your fears
Hope has given way to hell
All that lies beneath as well
You were a man so strong and bold
Weakness made you empty, cold
You were a man who fought his heart
Poison love your last resort
Follow what your will desires
Pay heed to the inner fire
Passion burns behind those eyes
Windows to the world inside
You hurt, you grieve
You numb the pain
You want to stop these waking dreams
You hate, you want
To numb it all
I’ll catch you before you fall
