    Your Garden of stone
    She won't wander in alone
    Where nothing has grown

    ******************************

    Question our modern need
    Misled souls defect with greed
    Existence won't feed

    *******************************

    I'll walk on that ground
    With my eyes closed and hands bound
    I won't make a sound

    Can't find the bottom
    Probably better off dead
    In over his head

    ****************************

    Virgin from heaven
    Visits man made hell below
    Nowhere else to go

    *****************************

    He's got a great view
    Sky above and street below
    Ain't nothin' to know

    ******************************

    How Deep is the well
    Burning knife needle in hell
    Can't touch the bottom

    If something is gone
    Put a little fixin' on
    Get it back again

    Loneliness is proof
    There is no god with a plan
    To save the Sad man

    ********************************

    Future's laid to waste
    Thoughts of the past are embraced
    Searching for escape

    *********************************

    He lit his last match
    Held his Sad believing breath
    Dreams won't bring her back

    **********************************

    Fate we may delay
    The door only swings one way
    A Sad shade of gray

    Throw the pills away
    One day the symptoms will fade
    Grow hope in your dirt

    **************************************

    Fell by the wayside
    Been Down so very damn long
    Looks like up to me

    **************************************

    Down by the river
    Where tears are damned and drier
    Stuck and loaded Down

    **************************************

    On a moving train
    Nothing happens in nuetral
    The scene stays the same

    Fears have been winning
    Should know in the beginning
    You are what you learn

    **********************************

    In self equation
    Don't need no Education
    Answers are out there

    *********************************

    The news is breaking
    A Wild World for the taking
    It's educating
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    It's an Unthought Known
    The seed's been forever sown
    It's just not yet grown

    ***********************************

    From an Unthought Known
    I've crossed time and space for you
    You won't be alone
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    The time drifts away
    On wasted work that is failed
    Hold On anyway

    ***********************************

    Understand the fear
    Nothin' left to live down here
    Hold On while it's near

    ***********************************

    Hard to be alone
    Waiting for that voice to say
    Hold On one more day

    **********************************

    No more ways to fall
    It's not so high after all
    Hold On for the call

    Seeking my small part
    Reach down to my empty heart
    Sometimes god is there

    *************************************

    Blended by big hands
    Challenges given to man
    Sometimes prove god's here

    When I can't get home
    Call for Lukin on the phone
    Don't feel so alone

    ********************************

    Far away from home
    People stinking grease and bone
    Stare like I'm the dog

    Never want to stop
    Not able to do enough
    Yesterdays are gone

    ************************

    There is no more time
    There's nothing left to escape
    Yesterday's too late

    **************************

    Build walls to forget
    About All Those Yesterdays
    Harboring regret
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Brother blames on me
    Pockets his hypocrisy
    He's authority

    **************************

    Comes through on TV
    Big Brother push down on me
    Will not let things be

    ***************************

    Mind won't ever clear
    Filled with nightly news and beer
    Nothing changes here

    ****************************

    Pushed on from the back
    Face down under Brother gun
    Fly when I can't run

    *****************************

    Brother on my back
    I got off your beaten track
    Out from under you

    ******************************

    Locking down on me
    Brother tries to hide the key
    I can still break free

    *******************************

    Like some stupid son
    Brother keeps me on the run
    Sights me in his gun

    *********************************

    Draws his bead on me
    Tries to drop me with his freeze
    I'm not bending knees

    **********************************

    Threatened with attack
    Then big Brother's got your back
    Says there's no more slack

    ***********************************

    Bandaged in the flag
    Pointing out the enemy
    Brother is happy

    ***********************************

    Brother's not so big
    Big boss you're not even tall
    No growth stunted small
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Lodged with no concern
    Only love can break the fall
    Nothing left to burn

    ********************************

    Light's Around The Bend
    Always on the other side
    Peace can never hide

    ********************************

    You here by my side
    Sleeping in transient bliss
    Moments that I'll miss

    Encompassing Trip
    Walk the path that's been well lit
    Direction won't slip

    ***************************************

    Enlighten your trip
    Don't let the past be your whip
    Don't make yourself sick

    ***************************************

    Can't find too much sense
    When the past can still leave dents
    In The Present Tense

    ***************************************

    Throw pasts overboard
    Don't let what's gone overlord
    Get loose from its cord

    ***************************************

    There's time to decide
    What have you learned on your ride
    While life lives outside

    ***************************************

    Set regrets aside
    The all encompassing ride
    You are your own guide

    ***************************************

    Find out where you fit
    Make that the course for your trip
    Don't abandon it

    ***************************************

    Your drops that you drip
    On the radars where you blip
    Define your own trip

    **************************************

    When light's turning dim
    Keep your lamps trimmed and burning
    Let the present in
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Keep on holding tight
    Destined for the distant light
    Survive your dark night

    ************************************

    Don't lose what you've found
    Moving at the Speed Of Sound
    Always know your ground
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Boring resevoir
    After all there is no more
    On the killing floor

    *******************************

    Facing my Rival
    Has No Code of survival
    Dead on arrival

    *******************************

    Rival at the door
    Still hung up with metaphor
    Comes to settle score
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Hail Hail lucky ones
    Not bound in obligation
    Bandaged hand in hand

    ***************************

    Not sure I'm enough
    Underestimated me
    Could be new you'll see

    ***************************

    There's no need to think
    We'll take the past you carry
    Go to the same place

    ***************************

    For my only one
    Love beyond the day I die
    I'm still on the run

    Walk your Crown Of Thorns
    On the path for which you're born
    From this world you're torn

    ***************************************

    Object of their scorn
    Proudly wear your Crown Of Thorns
    Don't show what they've shorn

    ****************************************

    It's a Crown Of Thorns
    When your love leaves you alone
    Don't know who you know

    ****************************************

    The bad moon ceiling
    Faded ponies for a fall
    Moving on feeling

    ****************************************

    Let your life make it
    Before death takes it away
    Nothing left to pray

    Rocking horse of time
    Reveals the world and its truth
    Holds pain that is mine

    ************************************

    I wait in the dark
    Only you can Release me
    Not sure what you see

    ************************************

    I am myself now
    You are the wave that takes me
    Release me somehow

    ************************************

    The birds in the rain
    I'm being held by their pain
    It wont Release me

    ***********************************

    Which way should I go
    When I'm on the windowsill
    Your wave lets me know
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Stains will Wash away
    You can't Wash away the stray
    Truth gets in the way

    ***********************************

    Buying just a need
    With the devil's seeded sin
    The filth lies within

    ***********************************

    Let it rain today
    My mind needs a clean new taste
    Tears Wash down my face

    ***********************************

    Back to form that's clean
    When your smiling eyes are seen
    My love is washed pure

    ***********************************

    Wash my love each day
    My heart and mind free from doubt
    White inside and out
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    I've discarded all
    Leave piss puddles on your ground
    Not another sound

    ****************************************

    Push Me and Pull Me
    I know now that I can't stay
    Nothing left to say

    ****************************************

    Break like an ocean
    I'm pushed and pulled by the shore
    Almost out the door
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    I'm on the Moonlight
    It's pulling me in its sway
    Time to get away

    *****************************

    Meet me on the moon
    That shines in both of our skies
    The gleam in our eyes
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Please stand by the shore
    I will be back there once more
    The sea will rise me

    ************************************

    Dreaming of your touch
    The currents shift towards you
    Oceans hold so much

    ************************************

    Waves roll through my head
    Are you still holding the thread
    Ringed by what we said

    ************************************

    No reason to stray
    Oceans won't take me away
    I'll be there today

    I really like this one...

    Once like someone else
    When I could control myself
    No longer in it

    ********************************

    The bomb in the head
    Hates the heat and all it brings
    Try to pray instead

    *********************************

    Tell backstreet lovers
    To stay away from the road
    Once someone explodes

    ********************************

    Once upon a time
    It was relived without pain
    Discreetly insane
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Got to say it now
    It's better now than too late
    Still Amongst The Waves

    *********************************

    Now's the time why wait
    While you're here Amongst The Waves
    Before it's too late
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    A world washed in Black
    A cradle of broken glass
    For the love gone bad

    ****************************

    Shake beneath Black clouds
    Sun in someone else's sky
    Lost and not sure why

    ****************************

    Black tattoos it all
    It once was everything
    Sun was meant to fall
  • SD533SD533 Posts: 221
    Can't get in my head
    Don't want what you want for me
    You can keep your bread

    **************************************

    Displayed like some freak
    This behavior's not unique
    Just want to be free

    **************************************

    You can't walk my path
    I'm alone just like before
    Can't give anymore

    **************************************

    I refuse your test
    You are just like all the rest
    I'm not in your debt

    **************************************

    Back where I began
    I can't walk where I once ran
    All alone again

    **************************************

    Now that you know me
    I'm still cut up and in chains
    Nothing has been changed

    **************************************

    Don't care what you know
    Wear somebody else's clothes
    Don't go where I go

    **************************************

    You don't know the boy
    That lives inside of the man
    Wrapped in Corduroy

    Pray for better days
    Thoughts arrive like butterflies
    Then they fly away

    *************************************

    Waits for Even Flow
    To begin his life again
    Not like other men

    *************************************

    Dealing with people
    From the legal halls of shame
    Chases them away

    *************************************

    Winter's here to stay
    Freezing while whispering hands
    Carry him away
