Open For You

The disappointment in your voice,
Rips through my heart.
The silence in your words-
It's not your fault.
It's my failures,
That let you down,
Even when I feel happy,
I cause you to frown.
I'm so sorry,
For not being there.
I cry out from my heart,
Just how much I care.
Please forgive me,
For the man I'm not.
Please love me,
With everything you've got.
The door of my heart,
Is open for you.

Perfect Dream

I dreamed a perfect dream for you
My heart was always there for you,
Then my tears were so blue,
Then I died inside for you.
The pain I had drove me insane,
I tried to drown in the rain,
Ripping pieces from my brain,
Memories that caused the pain-
But another day dawns,
And it gets better everyday.
Farther from the times,
When evil had it's way.
If I could turn back time,
If I could find a way,
To make each day,
Perfectly stay...
In that Perfect Dream.

For My Paw

Here's some country for my Paw,
To remind him in a song.
Of some Johnny and Hank,
You can take that to the bank.
The roots in these blues,
Fill his country shoes.
Gotta follow with some Elvis,
A little rock-n-roll to help us....
We remember all the good times,
And give thanks to the Lord,
For our Lives.

Your Embrace

It fills me completely,
When your love is so sweetly,
Placed upon my heart,
With your love's embrace.
I know I need it now,
After the times I went without,
When I was full of doubt,
Of your Love's embrace.
And I can see it in your eyes,
As the tears fill up mine,
I wish I could stop time,
And live in these moments of mine.
Whenever your love covers me...
With your embrace.

Dead Man Walking

I should have been dead,
A long time ago.
Yet I abide,
Beneath the shadow-
Of the wings of an angel,
Who brought me back to life.
Each day I take a breath,
Gives Glory to the author of life.

Bestowed

I write and I write,
Yet nothing seems right.
I sing and I sing,
Yet, is it a vain thing?
The deeper I go,
The more of me shows.
That I am truly blind,
To the Blessings bestowed.

?

What is sanity?
Amidst this vanity.
What is this pain?
In the healing rain.

End Of The Age

If you water a flower with acid,
It will die away.
If you raise up a generation in hate,
Will they fly away?
Like a bird leaving it's nest,
Never to return.
Oh the world reaps,
And soon it will burn.

Nine Lives

Oh this feeling, this feeling-
All it is, is a feeling.
No truth, but a lie,
That for some have died.
As I've done,
Many times before.
Yet, I still live,
How many times more?

Duality

I used to love myself,
Now I hate myself.
Not for what I was,
But for what I have become.
Although the eye can see,
The fake part of me.
If I gave you a knife,
Would you take my life?

Life Line

The comfort from above,
Overwhelms me from above.
In my darkest hours,
God sends me flowers.
When I think that hope is gone,
And I expect it to end,
There he goes again,
Another angel he sends.
To Rescue me,
From myself.
Why do I do?
All the things I do.

Shackled

I believe in light,
But I hide in the dark,
Like a scared child,
Left out in the wild.
I feel so all alone,
I feel like a clone.
Some kind of drone,
That keeps me alone.
What have they done to me?
What is it that I can't see?
I shacked myself in chains,
To hide others from my pain.

Reaching For The End

Up and down,
And back again.
Never knowing,
When this is gonna end.
I numb my thoughts,
And pour out my words.
Feeling like nothing,
Could ever change my world.
An empty house,
I filled with despair,
Crushing all the love,
So I wouldn't care.
Waiting for the feeling,
The groove settles in.
Soon I'll start my journey,
Reaching for the End.

Treading Water

I can feel this river boat,
Sinkin' as I cross this moat.
Headed for this castle of Death,
Praying for one last breath.
I reach the riverside,
With my life not far behind.
Treading these waters...
Swimming towards eternity.
Swaying side to side,
My life before my eyes.
Flashing before it's time,
For me to say goodbye.

Mirror Of My Soul

Another night,
Another dream,
I've been here before,
oh so it seems,
Deja vu?
Dead man's stare,
I hold a candle close,
So you can stare,
Through the glare,
Of the light in my eyes.
What do you see?
A reflection of you on me.
Keep your mirror glance,
I don't want the chance,
Or you corrupting my beauty,
Through the mirror on the wall...
Of my Soul.

When The Lights Go Out

What would you so,
if it were dark?
Would you cry like a child,
Or go so wild?
Like a madman,
Searching through the night,
Reaching for any glimmer of light.
Holding on to the hope inside,
Thinking silently,
How did I die?
