It's a sickness of sighing Of never ending lying Hours spent denying That it could be the truth It's an illness of instigations Of cruel machinations To fail my aspirations To show her my proof Of feelings left unsaid Of my words never read Because of what i most dread That we might never be But if only i could tell Of how easily i fell To her bewitching spell Her smile cast upon me It was like falling into a bed of roses Chains of beauty and scent she imposes Until the window of escape closes Thorns growing that i might never leave But her eyes keep me still And her voice holds my will Without i could not fullfil The d

We began in the orchards That grew the fruit of lies We moved along the shadow That whispered our demise We searched for a way out From this dark, dreary, dream But escape was an illusion Haunting us it would seem We wandered through the night Cursed never to see the dawn Like an eagle without flight Our doom already drawn The light that shone before us Our closed eyes tried to see Our bound hands tried to grasp The keys that would set us free But freedom was not found in keys Or a light to end the shadow Tis truth that we must seize Tis truth that we must know For without it our lives Will never truly show We ended in t

When is it a truth? When is it a lie? When do I live? When do I die? If all I ever promised you Was a clever falsehood If all I ever dreamed to you Was a dream from where I stood Would you still be with me? Would we still be each other's world? If all reality fades from sight If all certainty simply disappears If all you glimpse is pitch black night If all hope flees, and the end nears Would you still be with me? Would we still be each other's world? If all the joy that I gave you Was warped to make you weep If all the scars that I healed Were slashed afresh, so deep Would you still be with me? Would we still be each othe

Her tears whispered to me of sorrow Sorrow I knew I could never fathom Past death and beyond I will go If at deaths gates, her joy I will know Her eyes screamed to me of fear Fear of being lost I wish she never knew I held her tight and tried to peer At the comforting words she needed hear Her face radiated its due hate Hate directed at my downcast eyes I will spend my life trying to sate The anger of one who has my soul and fate Her hair fluttering in the breeze Told of a curse only she could bear Oh what I'd give to grasp the keys That would allow her suffering to but ease Her smile shone a delicate beauty That I ho

They say that life is like a dream A dream is like tomorrow And tomorrow is what it would seem A hope that we borrow We borrowed from the shooting stars Where we love to dance Play in a world free of restricting bars A world that sleeps with chance A chance there may be no tomorrow But we'll continue to play this game A game that leaves no choice but to follow Follow into the fame A fame that speaks of all our aces And leaves out when it rains Oh our luck of picking places To wind up in such chains Now we're prisoners here Chained inside our dreams Now we're freer here It's never exactly how it seems

The joy of my heart faded into a lost art all now, scattered upon the wind a shame she never sinned all the memories i taught lost and never caught so then, drift into the moon she was a hidden rune the tears i never wept the smile i ever kept all for, a forgotten reason her lips whispered treason a plan all gone wrong a night spent too long silently, awaiting deaths open arms all on her bloody palms now the fog has lifted we can see where we've drifted lost unto the abyss a shame it ended like this

In the lady's realm where the ferryman guards the shores water knows not the ferry's helm nor coats it's simple oars sadly he has forgotten the reason why he should think this life a lie In the lady's garden the gardener grows chilling perfection he has never known the lady's pardon only his skill's protection oddly he knows not summer, spring or fall nor think this timeless life timeless at all In the lady's house which stretches to deaths own door but knows no tread of lady or spouse the butler waits forever more emotionlessly waiting forevers wait thoughtlessly waiting forevers date On the lady's throne She rules without

In my room my curtains, never let in the light In my heart my mind, can never stop the blight In my bed my sheets, are scattered all around In my dreams when I die, I never make a sound In my body I feel, a sickness that would slay In my soul my death, was long before this day In my life my shoes, are about to fall apart In my walk my shoes, were wrecked from the start In my talks I learn from others, nothing but a lie In my thoughts I see, where the truth passed by In my city my drink, is a poison that I knew In my world my drink, is of the deadliest brew In my ears I hear, a strong flame with never vanish In my eyes is a fire,

I once had a friend, a true friend indeed I shadowed his every step He was always there when I was in need Him and I, all the world exempt He seemed often to be so evil And the kindest all at the same time He could be the worst devil Then heal you up like thyme In the summer we would laze around Enjoying the warmth and light Pouring from our smiles And the sun, ever so bright In the autumn we would watch All the leaves as they fell Wonder what they were thinking Wonder if leaves go to hell? In the spring we would gaze Up at the clouds and smile Creating things out of the haze A squirrel, a horse, a crocodile! In the winter

I did once know the tune of life I knew its joy and its strife I knew what it was to each day feel It seemed so real, seemed so real I did once know excitement's pull To be mischief's greatest tool To run and dance where I was free Life captured me, it captured me I did once know but now forget What it is that I now regret It seems to fade as a distant dream With it fades my whole life scheme I do now know a discordant note A void in life wherein I float Pain and anger are my seal They seem so real, seem so real I do now know a shadow shell Locked in a tale I shall not tell Sorrow and misery possess the key They captured me
