Camelot-in-Smithereens
To the four corners and beyond From the ghettos to the farms Babies born / Babies die Poor are broken / Rich are strong Where are you? There still are lies / And always truth Hershey Bars and Baby Ruth's Power's both weak and strong For one right / There's plenty wrongs Where are you? Choices made / Even if not to choose Deciding when or what to use Wars will start / Wars will end Pending on which side will bend Where are you? Hiding in a glass asylum Living on and off your own kind Ignore the world around you Hoping for a new mankind Medicine cures / Disease kills Desert sands / And grassy hills Grace abounds / Yet so does sin But not for you in your world within Where are you? Close your eyes so you can see The river flooded with mercy There's so much more that we could do Break the glass between me and you Electric blue / translucent green There's more than what our eyes have seen A world of love / A world of hate Bleeding hearts / For you they wait Where are you?

Lying on the floor / She could't sleep again Staring at the ceiling / Trying to forget the pain The love she found was so short lived What she needed / They couldn't give Love they said "mask's" a multitude of sin But in their eyes / She couldn't win Lindsey recalls the questions fine But in her eyes / She cannot lie Accusating fingers stand in line But in her heart she begs the question why? Sweet is the sound of grace But her eyes were blinded / When she looked into his face Passion played into her heart Colliding with mercy / He played the part And now he's gone / Only left his seed On looking for more to feed his greed Alone & lonely she sighs / Compromised her vows Right under their eyes The stares begin / She's called their bluff Arms once wide / Are now folded up The "whore's" cast out / She caused the ?pure? to fall They might have left her / But she still hears the call Lindsey recalls the questions fine But looking back / She cannot lie When the longest hour had arrived No one was there to hear her cry...

[1] The changing times have caused me to see me for what I am But I know you / You taught me oh so well to just ignore Ignore the things my heart beats for Life with you / It's complicating - like a crowded room I thought you had died / But with morning rise I see your still alive [chorus] And I can't let go / Even though I know your not too good for me It's a terrifying flight / When darkness over rides her light But I can't let go / Won't let go / Can't let go Even though I know your not too good for me. [2] The time's we've had / Were so much fun and me I loved to laugh But something's wrong / My rebirth came and said that we can't last Cut the cord and place you in the past But I still love / The things we did together once before And now I'm torn / Between new life & an open sore [chorus] And I can't let go / Even though I know Your not too good for me It's a never ending flight / That only leads me through the night But I can't let go / Must let go / Can't let go Even though I know your not too good for me

Too much time on my hands I've learned to love the night It's disguised itself to appear like the light Takes me by the hand And reminds me that a wrong is sometimes right And I know the state I'm in can't last But the closet's bursting with the force of rage From the demons in my past And she stands and stares with eyes of disbelief And makes me feel so alone Awaiting to relive the sight unseen From the seeds that I once sowed But that's not me anymore I've sought and I've grown But that's not me anymore

Forming the water around me / I was protected from the truth Innocent cries / A child's closed eyes / How I was to know A normal life growing up / Taught wrong from right / The does & don'ts Then the world's sphere got off it's spin / And threw me in a new mold I'm on the shelf At 15 I fell in love / And ran away from life I didn't know how to feel / But what I felt sure felt right 5 years later / I met this girl / And she showed me the light The plot twists and turns / Leaving one for the other In order to be saved? Now I stare at the readings of my life Page after page / They don't paint a pretty picture of me Eyes wide / As I pull another book from off the shelf When does the heartache end / Of a life torn between These 2 book ends Life is a tale told by a fool / Signifying nothing I thought what I did was right / By leaving the past behind But now all I see is a trail of pain and misery So I beg you to search your heart / Or might your books read like these Now they stare at the readings of my life Page after page / They don't paint a pretty picture of me Eyes wide / As they pull another book from off the shelf When does the heartache end / Of a life torn between These 2 book ends...

(David Bowie cover song) Weaving down a byroad Sing the song That's my kind of highground Gone wrong My-my Smile at least You can't say no to The beauty and the beast Something in the night Something in the day Nothing is wrong But darling, something's in the way There's laughter in the air Protest on the wind Someone else inside me Someone could get skinned How??? My-my Someone fetch a priest You can't say no to The beauty and the beast Darling I wanted to /// believe me I wanted to be good I wanted no distractions Like every good boy should Nothing will corrupt us Nothing will compete Thank God Heaven left us Standing on our feet My-my The beauty and the beast

I look at the ocean / Oh so cold & black It's never ending mystery I look at the sky / So polluted & cracked A reflection of the sea I'm closed in / No where to turn The four sides of this river have my mind in a swirl All alone / And I hear my heart breaking The end result from all that I'm taking But I know If I make my bed in hell / You're with me If I dwell in the depths of the sea / You are there Reality check / Is coming down Sweat pouring off my face like rain from the clouds I feel it coming / Oh yes but I can't see it yet My eyes are waterlogged from this yoke of oppression My God / Let me hear Your voice A sense of doubt remains / My life becoming a void I'm slipping If I make my bed in hell / I know You're with me If I dwell in the depths of the sea / You are there If I chose the darkest corridor of time It's only cause I was blind But I feel the edge of the mercy shores And it tells You are with me

From up here it all looks the same to me A different point of view is what I know I need What you say I look around this sea of souls But all I see is one face The eyes all blend into one color There are no features to trace The more one looks The more one's drawn To simply stay away But I can't wait to leave this top And be with You in the start of a new day But for now I just sit here on my red roof Looking for Your face / But the clouds are in the way And still I stay here longing on my red roof I wait for You to steal me away The days drag pass me / And I hear the clock ticking in my head The weather is muggy / As I make the shingles of my bed The air is hot / But I feel fine - When I hear the breathing of her wind Though it feels like I will never see You once again I close my eyes and I drown in thoughts That swirl in my head Waiting for you... But for now I just sit here on my red roof Looking for your face / But the clouds are in the way And I still stay here longing on my red roof I wait for you to steal me away.

The day light is coming But it's borrowing that gets me down But I know He's coming For it's He that gave my sight & sound I was trying to get out of here By following an aspiring dream Of living life large in this scene It was then I awoke The daylight is coming But it's borrowing that gets me down I don't lie to you But I know He's coming For it's He that gave my sight & sound My sight & sound I looked around and saw I was poor With a stack of bills that came from the store So I grabbed the Holy Book from my room And I read that I was rich... in U I know that He sees when I cry And I know that he hears when I sigh Life will be complete - when I see your face The daylight is coming But it's borrowing that gets me down I don't lie to you But I know He's coming For it's He that gave my sight & sound My sight & sound Ain't it funny how it is Just when I thought my life was through It was then that I found my faith in the fact that I believe... in U
