Time For Dreaming

Forget the scheming
The thoughts that are teaming
Out to steal the last of your innocence
Seal the remainders of exuberance
Forget that you're not supposed to trust
This much, whatever you felt
This much, that you pretended you wouldn't care
No more, anytime now you're about to explode
From the heart that's been burdened with an unnatural load
No more, no more, just let it all go
It's a time for dreaming

Electric Human

The tension builds
It steals through these spaces
Little distance becoming lesser
By the passing of time though time stands still

Blood flowing through
Sparks pulse through the flesh
These same sparks merge in the air
While water takes on the thickness of blood

Brambles

The brambles in their minds
Keep them from the truth in their hearts
How can one lose what has never been found
How can one end what didn’t have a start
But as blood flows without pricking a vein
Hurt can’t be stopped by stopping the heart

My Own World

Heat and ice, sleet and hailstones
Form the torment that is my life
Tempestuous moods rage like summer snow storms
You wouldn't be able to survive

I wouldn't care to find you there
I wouldn't spare you from the hurricane
So go spare yourself while you can
I wouldn't care to see you in pain

Labyrinths with giant three headed vultures
Centaurs that shoot lasers from their eyes
Dragons that multiply when you beat them down
Volcanoes of coal, pitch black and grime

I'm not saving you, you're not saving me
So turn back and run for your life
I will not have your death on my head
You've been warned for the last time

Steal

Steal the world from me
And steal me into you
Steal everything I've ever had
By imprinting it with you

She's Run Away Home

The single whisper in her heart
Started to tear her apart
And before too long before she knew
Everything was all brand new
And she didn't want it any more

Silly little notions of a magical love
She would cling on to with intensity
Now that stupid little girl has run away home
All that's left in her place is me

The single time she tried to let it be
Went down in flames while Nero played his symphony
She tried to unlock the gates
But it was too late
And now she's suffering so far away from me

Silly little notions of a magical love
She would cling on to with intensity
Now that stupid little girl has run away home
All that's left in her place is me

Call her a dreamer, call me a fool
Call her a schemer, in a land with no rules
Call her away from me, she's like a splint in my leg
Just let her run away home, deal with me instead

Does He Know?

Can he hear my breath catch
Maybe feel my heart race
Read my mind's thoughts
Perhaps interpret
The blush on my face

Does he register the silent sigh
Realize the sheepish laugh
See I'm trying to prolong
Being with him
Trying my best to make him laugh?

Does he realize as I sing
He's the one I'm singing for
Does he realize he's just become
A dream of mine and so much more?

No Matter The Distance

Forever in a freakish future
Never know what may come next
But through the swirling smoke of vision
One can only hope what to expect
Moments of meeting up with you
Moments too fleeting
Nothing we can do
But in the name of friendship we can
Share something so true
Round and round in the spiral of life
Intersecting in planes arcane
No matter the distance the boundary
The imprint will be the same

From Fire to Ice

Leave Me Now
Go so far away
I can forget you ever existed
Forget you again every day
You had me then
All that I could give
You're a memory now
Though I've managed to forgive
A mistake I'll never repeat
An addict I'll never be
A friend I'll never try again
Cause you didn't learn to value me
As strong as I am
As wrong as I may be
I will never stand by someone again
Someone who doesn't respond to me
So go ahead and stay unknown
Try to change the wall I've become
Might as well leave me alone
This time Fire will not 'thaw' in the sun

Wee Hours of Morning

In these long sleepless nights

I find my mind drifting

To thoughts of him

I wonder what he is doing

He doesn't know the love

That is bursting in my chest

As I listen to the melodies

I hope will make this longing less

I feel alive and restless

Being driven by my heart

To experience in entirety the feeling

That's made me an insomniac bard

Express

She wished it all away
Wished it had never been
Wished they still had
What they'd had before

She would do anything
But anything would not help her
He had to play his role as she
He had to make the effort

She gave herself the light now
She would enjoy the right now
And not waste time on analyzing
Something that needed no more realizing

She would take the moments with him
And give the moments her all
Who knew what would be later?
Not she, no, not at all
