    When you breath
    Is that normal
    Can you speak
    Just how you really feel
    Can you show
    Will you run to hide
    Does it grow inside
    Are you in a void
    Are you staring towards belief
    How far along
    When will you commence release

    I can feel it
    Grows inside of me
    I can feel it
    Rising up
    Reaching the surface
    Growing out on me
    Blistered skin
    Hide the new beginning
    Another layer
    Shedding off
    Exposing my new skin

    I am mine
    Slipping out
    Come to be exposed
    Shed my shell
    Release inside
    Adapting to my growth
    A new man
    Creature now a being
    What I was
    What will I be
    Where I’m at
    Where I’ll be set free
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    Step back
    Breath in
    Let it go
    Let something new begin

    Can’t hold on for tomorrow
    For something I’ve never seen
    Can’t let go of sorrow
    It’s the only place I’ve been
    These wings aren’t so heavy
    But they get dragged down
    They carry everything
    Can’t give in to this despair
    But why not
    Seems to be inclusive with everything

    I know
    They say
    Hold on
    There’s a rainbow
    New corners can bring on anything
    I know
    They say
    Hold out
    Keep faith
    The righteous prevail through anything

    What lays before
    I don’t
    Think that I can wait
    Unfold
    Present
    Unveil
    What lies before
    Just show
    A tease
    What lies
    Is there anything here for me

    Is that enough
    Something to believe
    No touch
    No sight
    Believe
    But seeing is everything
    No touch
    No feel
    How can I believe
    I need to hold to know
    Is anything going to be for real

    I reach the roof
    Onto the ledge like so many times before
    To spread my wings
    Will they hold
    Is it faith
    That would secure this one relief
    Is that enough
    To slow descent
    Or with crash
    Does that confirm
    Does it support all disbelief
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)

    great reads depop...I always love how introspective they are and the words flow, kinda like we see the inside struggles and can relate...I liked the title too - what wings? wings don't work very well without faith, even a little bit of faith goes a long way :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Thanks Twin. I really liked your reply.

    I actually enjoyed singing this one. It is the first time in a while I actually had the urge to sing. I have been inspired of late...I don't know why. I think I have been hearing a lot of new music that is really good, and I kinda regained a bit of respect for the industry, and just started enjoying it again. Not saying my words are good or that they will ever go anywhere, but it is inspiring seeing music with depth getting reccognision again.

    Very cool! I am glad you are inspired, we all get to benefit from that! Doesn't matter if your words "go anywhere" but they are good and "going somewhere" is how you perseve it, you just don't know the influence you have on others when you share and if it touches even one person, well my thought is that is pretty fantastic...yeah, I get tired of the mindless airheaded music sometimes too, although some of it has a good beat... :)

    Pray to whom?


    Angels pray to god
    Down on their knees
    Locked within a cage
    From which they can not fly
    Imprison souls
    Seeing Earth only to help eat our sin

    Serpents roam just as they please
    Betray the master
    Run amongst us
    Are they not truly free
    Telling lies
    Do whatever they may
    Nothing left to loose
    Where can they go
    Solitary place to stay


    fucking beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!

    it's only after you've lost everything ...that you are free to do anything....(Fight Club)

    And I'm absolutely floored by "Over the River". I haven't been able to read the rest yet....I'm still absorbing the first two. Over the River reminds me of me, and of my dad who died in 2003. He and I have so much in common. I'm trying to step out of his foot prints.

    Thank you for posting these.

    thanks to both of you....BU2 and PJN.

    for me, Over the river was kinda saying that I have made a lot of mistakes in my life, and hurt people that meant everything. For that, I shall recieve bad karma...for lack of a better way of saying it. I huess it's like once you cross a river and burn your bridge, it is hard to rebuild that bridge to get to the person on the other side while having to look at them looking at you in utter heartbroken disapointment.


    Thanks all for your comments, and the excellent additions to the thread.

    Well, I undestand your hesitations, and can respect that. It does feel strange to put piscs on the web sometimes...but I still hope you do post a pic of the minijammer...

    couldn't help myself :) I didn't want to post the pics here and completely sidetrack your thread, so I posted them in one of my threads.....

    Fungal spore
    Fruity corpse
    Makes me high
    Makes me see
    Psilocin
    Endorphin
    Shamanic cause
    Within my dreams
    To tout the gods
    To buy some time
    To envision my deity
    Please have them fall
    To cleanse though bleed
    To breed reishi
    Alkaloids to set me free
    And when I fall
    To my sanctum place
    Taste muscimol
    Find the spirits that comfort me

    HA HA HA!! Mr. Ryan: "It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a salad dressing dude." :p

    Ah, 80's movies. They were so awesome.

    You put stuff wherever you want, DUDE! :p

    And I'll take some Psilocin with that, please. :D Hee Hee!
