Dead of Night

death, so sweet, so right,
Please show my your love, in the of night.
You've shown me love, like no one else will,
You're so quiet, so still,
Come show me the way, I will follow you.
Show me something new,
Other than pain other than.
Please bring me my fate.
I cut myself to honor you, to show you how I feel.
show me the pain, I've tried to make real.
I wait here, I wait alone.,
For you to come to me, bring me to your thrown.
I'm ready, I want to go.
Tell me what you know.
Death, so sweet, so right.
You have come and now I follow you in the of night.

The Tears Of Our Children

In the depth of today,
In the thought of yesterday,
Where do we stand in times movement?

In the past we look at pain,
In the future we look in the eyes of what shall cause us pain.
Yet we stand were we are waiting, waiting for something, anything.

In the suffering of our war,
In the tears of our children who want more,
We have so much that could loose, so much we could pay with.

In the wondering of our ancestors,
In the mind of those who we shall enter,
We are eternity, we are immortality.

In the light of today,
In the light of yesterday,
We are who we are.

Death

For some it is like a shadow that just slips bye,
For others it is as sweet as lemon pie.
How you will die, no one knows,
If you will die everyone knows.
Some will die in pain,
Some insane,
Those who are lucky shall not feel anything.

Some think that death is the end
Others think it is only the beginning,
And more think it will break, others think it shall mend.
As for me my head is always spinning.

Death will never be proven, it is only in your mind,
What is true and what is false.
Fr some it is kind, others undefined.
But one this is always the same, you shall loose yur pulse.

Someday

I live in the air around you,
I live in the places you go,
I live in the eyes of those you know.

I dream of your face,
I dream of your skin against mine,
I dream of being with you.

Day after day I go with you,
Day after day I hear everything you say,
Day after day I surround you.

I am in the air around you,
I am in the things you touch,
I am in the things who make you who you are.

You may not think of it every second of the day
You may not know what to saym
You may not even know who I am.

My Love For My Father

Even though he's gone I remember him the same
I sit here now and I read this a loud and think of him
I remember his smile his voice calling my name
I think of him because I know my love for him will never dim

My father is gone but my love for him remains
I know he looks down on me from above and yet I'm still sad
He shall never truly be gone but I miss him still the same
I love him, my dad

I shall miss him now for he has said goodbye
But I know I'll see him again
I know I shall remember him as the days go by
And I will keep smiling and remembering till I see him again

Behind Her Eyes

The pain she felt was behind her eyes
The eyes that were once the clear blue skys
Her face is clouded and dark
You can tell sorrow has left it's mark.

He left this pain in her face,
Left her clothed in faded lace,
He told her she wasn't worth it,
Wasn't worth the house he lit.

The pain was left with her, in her mind,
If you look past her eyes sorrows all you'll find.
She knew he'd do this, destroy her will to live,
She knew this would be all he would give.

The pain, she knows, will never pass,
It cuts through her like broken glass.
Her face is clouded and dark,
You can tell sorrow has left it's mark.

Past, preasnt, future

Someday in the future you will die
Someday in the future you will cry
Someday

Tomorrow you will live
Tomorrow you will be one with those around you
Tomorrow

Today you will meet a new face
Today you will save somebodys life
Today

Yesterday you watched someone die
Yesterday you watched a life begin
Yesterday

Everyday all the time you do the things you don't know you do
Everyday you show the world a new part of humanity
Everyday

Tell Me Again

Tell me again papa,
Of how my life was taken, .
Tell me again papa of how reality was shaken.

Tell me again mama,
Of how my life ended.
Tell me again mama,
Of how my human instincts faded.

Tell me again papa,
Of how I took my true form.
tell me again papa,
About the blackness of the storm.

Tell me again mama,
Of how you teet sunk into my skin.
tell me again mama,
Of how I came to win.

Tell me again papa,

I'm Breaking

I'm breaking.

I'm dying.

Drowning in these tears I'm crying.

I'm screaming.

Not sure when I'm awake or dreaming.

Nothing is as it's seaming.

Why can't anyone hear me?

I'm screaming and no one seems to see.

Please, someone save me!

Live and Do

Slip away,
Drift away.

Become what you believe is true,
If you have to, start a new.

Close your eyes,
Rest your eyes.

Find yourself as you dream to be,
When you open yours, it's what you'll see.

Rise to your feet,
Feel the Earth below your feet.

Walk through the sands of time,
Be true to yourself, commit no crime.

Sleep in darkness sleep,
Lay down your head, sleep.
