Keys to the Palace
L'appel du vide It's clearer when night comes near And cricket's chirps adorn the evening's glow You can't forget Don't you ever act like you don't remember Who you were before it called your name (Be safe) This starlit valley Smiles below a room on the top floor Deep down I want it The legacy only death can bring Mesmerized, hypnotized Peering through a child's eyes At the park again reflecting on how my life went wrong so easily (Don't you ever be) Afraid of me I'd never hurt you Trust when I say I won't exploit you Follow me up to the room with a view Come take a look, what I've made for you Happy birthday, is this not what you had wished? Let it be known, let it be shown Reparations from the heart Capacity to love those who Did wrong, stay strong They're lost in a reflection of you You project your hate You don't feel the world your words create Beware, be fair Be kind to those above White lights before me Coalesced into a river of time Loved ones look young as they beckon "Leap forth and we will follow you" Standing tall as a teardrop falls (Teardrop falls) Let go and dreams will come your way Safe in my mother's arms At the creekside in the midst of May

Dreams spawned on a verdant hill Where leaves would dance in the wind Dissipate every inconvenient truth That held you down I remember when you would embrace the world For it’s natural ways Now everything is a metaphor To release you of your pain Dreams spawn in Dover Breaking through the creases of leaves If lost in faces Follow the traces of light No sympathy for the outside world For us it ceased to exist Only empathy for the trees They spoke without a voice They’d sing at summer’s dusk “Time is as real as flesh” Those words will stay with me Until my final breath I hold the keys to life To create is to survive There’s nothing here for me Please, God, just take me away Take me far away from here A healer writhed in pain No one to call a friend Lost in earthly pursuit He lost his self and fell mute Return home Close your eyes It’s closing time The curtains drop My fears depart

You are a gift to me In this moment I believe In a world that cares for me Such sweet, young naivety Now I wish to be alone Jaded Loving you was all I knew It vanished right before my eyes Brain flood Rose-colored vision And the rising feeling Of a world to come Here I contemplate and wait In vain I believe I’ve found the purpose In a face that begs worship A lustful mind runs rampant For an idol who sits dormant I believe I’ve found the source of light A profundity none have еver known The girl in the gardеn Tends to the bees and their pollen And the archfiend is in love I’ve come undone I choose to be numb A dream’s not a dream Without a memory A moment pinned Unmoving time All that’s left Is you and I

On somnolent summer days We hear the laughter of youth I recall when that was you That pipe dream failed to come through Lay down that lighter and breathe Why can't you see what I see? When words evoke pain, he goes I want my friend to come home Are you the next to go? See you when it ends Cry out in infantile screams Read me a story, put me to sleep Why won't you answer when I call? At the window I sat Reflecting on the pain As for my friends, they've changed Alone I am again I, I cannot eat I feel sick when I breathe And God knows I cannot sleep It may be because of these dreams These dreams that play in my head These dreams that want me dead I see a life that is beautiful And I see it touch them I wonder why it won't touch me Maybe I cannot feel Or maybe this is not real Like a dream that wants me dead A dream that wants me dead My dreams, they want me dead (You're better alive) You're dead (You're better alive) You're dead

When I say I want you to stay I'm on my knees until I bleed When I say I want you to leave That strength in me is self deceit Stained glass window Depictions of love A familiar stranger Hangs from above I speak to you through lies But you decipher my truth My truth is my despair I surrender in your care Laceration Carved by the blades of grass Magenta streaks Splashed on fields of green My pigment dissolves From a vacant shell Oh, what a beautiful way to leave To die in a memory Everything you knew was lost Now everything you know is stalе Just know this life is but a phase To live in rеgret is to fail So use caution when you speak And be careful of what you think There is no love in a god you use to blame When I say I want you to stay I'm on my knees until I bleed When I say I want you to leave That strength in me is self deceit Now we wait in silence Breathe in the outside air Young face in the water's mirror Could this be real? My limbs, they feel so free I forgot what it's like To have a clear chest when I breathe I wanna take you there I wanna take it away Hold on to the moment's gift with no promise for tomorrow Save me From this world I am returning to and from It's dire Panic is all that I know there Coping is wearing thin Heartless Heartless is the only way I can survive Show me Show me what I can be In a world that's made from love You are you You are young So young No matter what they say No matter what they think I'll keep you in my heart, my mind, my soul I think I'll be okay Lights from Heaven lead the way

Therapy for a nation Deaf ears soothe hearts in mourning The illusion is strong And all of you have to find your way If honesty is what you need I never claimed to be good I’ve got a secret to share I like being sick That’s who I am Prey on the weak If power is what you seek Find them young They listen when they’re dumb The illusion of fame was sworn Welcome to your new palace Run for your life It is clear Where you are heading from here I saw a man A devil on the hill He was screaming “My head is on fire” Hey you It’s me you want I’m what you want to be Hey me I’m what you are I’m what you did to me Hey love It’s what you are It’s what you are to me Hey love I’m what you are What your hate did to me Where did you go? Why did you go? How could you go? What did you do to me?
