GHOST
the storms have gone wild in the gardens of wisdom and
all the while i'm drawn to be kissing you but
do you want to be owed by the other side?
there's darkness in the wheels and screams in the system
i'm lonely as steel and its only good wisdom, it said
do you want to be out of my arms tonight?
there's a cool in the air that makes evil so easy
to do and to bear especially as it becomes pleasing to me
do you want to be out in the dark, alive?
while the aches and the pains are the breaks in the reason, and
all harm and hell are reversing their season so
do you want to be owed to the other side?
no it don't mean a thing said the words on the pages
still a ghost to me isn't buried through ages so now
do you want to be out in the dark, alive?
i'm gonna bruise you
if you ever get over me
you're already haunting me
doesn't that satisfy?
all that you're used to
or are you as scared as me?
honest to god as he walked... (on his own again)
and the creeping arachnid will leave with a whisper drawn
down to my knees and my ankles are blistered but
still you want to be out in the dark, alive
and the casebook of reason in nothing but disarray and
all of the breeze that has blown is now warm today but
could you wait to call yourself my pride?

GARDEN STONES
i'll race you home for the garden stones
although everyone's been there
with a full-fire heart i bet that you didn't start
before i was done
everyone weeps for the sight (side) of love
after time pulls the layers away
with a certain heart i bet you never even gave it a chance to be real
i will get you, turning around, i will take you home
so it feels like the verse where you hear the words
and they turn you the other way
cuz i lost my wings now i'm a sovereign wheel
where i lay (i'd roll away)
whatever we reach whatever god may speak (of)
and roll it all out of the way
your heart, my soul
you never thought we ever would
be in hell but i said
i will get you
knowing the fire, i will take you home

Poor me

POOR ME
Until the break of the evening arrives
'till the quiet of the seed in my mind
i will lift these storms begot
I'll stay level in love
As the words fall of fermented rain
they curse like a permanent stain
i will be known my darling doll
i will guide them idly down
Poor Me (3x)
To the eve-lets across in the gown
they chip their teeth on the block of the gallows
already undone long before
but the cops say that everyone saw
That there's a soul-like seawater dive
and there it pours life stronger than wine
well open it up my holly dear
this slot will never reappear
Poor Me (3x)
So let them drip like they opened a valve
and let it spill on the covers around
nobody love might harm me above
but why should that matter now
when there's a drink at the end of the bed
and it was kicked while a scream in the sex
"no former loves, no he's dear god
you're gonna love me now" (3x)
because living me down, is living me down
is living the only difference around
is living me down
and leaving an awful taste in my mouth
living me down, driven the whole myself to hell
a slippery rout, living me down

Nothing On You

NOTHING ON YOU
so you're locked out on your birthday
it's nothing that won't heal in time
and everyone there gave you advice
there's a lot more where that came from in good time
much more where that came from every time
you saw the sign and then you left completely unaware
now it's time to shine yet you look the other way
they've got nothing on you
so you broke down on your birthday
you came back strong as a vice
still no one believed
you'd severed the ties
so you fought back for another
you needed your chance to survive
and you got it, you've earned it
so what will you do with your new life?
you saw the sign and then you left completely unaware
now it's time to shine yet you look the other way
they've got nothing on you

Anthem Of Silence

PHANTOMS
i sink heavy in a weightless space
i think many people do the same thing
could it be this draw, this draw into panic
is what keeps us sound not manic or fanatic
or are we just not ready to cease?
i keep it simple for the ones i love
i oversimplify and do it again
do you think god do you think he would take me?
til i reach a point that i no longer need to speak
hey you little phantoms, times have changed
we've got way bigger shit to handle
than your tired old games
if dark and light are in tandem, find their link
within the quiet, simple anthem
silence brings
i give in submitting to destiny
still i reserve the right to say nothing for me
i think fast but sink even faster
i would tell you all about it if i thought that it mattered
but it don't, no it don't
hey you little phantoms, times have changed
we've got way bigger shit to handle
than your tired old games
if dark and light are in tandem, find their link
within the quiet, simple anthem
silence brings

Wheel's Eye

THE WHEEL’S EYE
The wheel’s eye has brought you this far
So if you feel like you’re lazy then you are
And you can drop all your hatred for words
Cause it don’t do a thing but relieve you
Of seeing how to speed through these meaningless things
When you need to be heard
When you see things as they truly are
Then you can feel them with rhythm and awe
And could it be what you’re hearing is you?
It’s been you all along
It is you after all who is actually sitting here singing this song
I know there’s demons been speaking to you
And everything you know they know it too
Instead of fighting invite them to come along
Because the best trick they know is to get dressed in your clothing
They’re savage and brutal but long to be loved
So if the feeling’s been hitting you hard
And you feel you can’t get very far
May I remind you to try not to hurry?
Cause things happen just as fast as they happen
You can’t slow down or go backwards
And there’s no need to worry
