We rot inside the depths of our own minds Seeking a place of comfort, But instead finding only turmoil and disorder Utter disarray disrupts inner harmony As we search for the catalyst that lies within us all, They are perched on their thrones awaiting our downfall And until I seek what is truly mine, I will not see past the dark design Brick by brick they build a wall, Brick by brick they will blind us all We must stray from the pack and be our own We must be the candle in this cold dark room With our flame ever rising, freeing us from this tomb Can this be that we’ve been deceived? Within these four walls a small flame breathes, and reaches for the sky We rot inside the depths of the dark design.

I believe there is beauty within the deep, hidden from our eyes to see This place where everything comes to life in disconnected pieces Buried in the desperate words of desperate men Stare into the mirror, Afraid of what’s inside The sun will burn away all desire, The sun will heal us with its fire I believe there is beauty within the deep, hidden from our eyes to see This place where everything comes to life in disconnected pieces Buried in the desperate words of desperate men Sitting silently, Feeling the beat of my heart, Waiting for a sound to, Come and take, take me away Dancing in the heart of the light, Shadows stir desperate for life, This troubled mind will find relief In the wake of disbelief I came to feel the fire, Let it come for me Take my hand and steady my sway, Take my hand and steady my sway, I came to feel the fire, Let it come for me Waiting for the light to fade, Watching as the flames consume, Everything will burn (in our eyes) Everything will burn (in our eyes) There’s a voice in the heart of the light, pulling me in My head is pounding now, to the rhythm of the glow I can feel the fire now, I can feel the flames move in, I can see the end of the road, Now I can finally sleep.

We all scratch at the walls, Trying to get some kind of grip In hopes of finding our way out of the fog, And have our eyes be graced by the vivid brightness The beauty that lies outside the boundaries This docile valley struggles to breathe, Void of reality, And complexed by depression The water still rises just as a string section This music for the first time has hit my ears This never changing life, I must erase, Determination gleaming in my eyes like tears, I believe this is the first time I’ve seen my real face, Please believe Let your true colors be your guide, For you are the only resident of your mind Together lets escape these still waters, Let this current flow no more Turn out its light and shut the door.

Desire for your embrace, Enchantment takes hold, Leaves me gasping for air Tonight while I slumber ‘neath the silent hum, Mere footsteps speak of splendor, tomorrow bring my love to me Pale skin shimmers in the night, Eyes close with wonder, arms caress with tenderness, Your body is mine tonight Together we rise, Neath the moonlit sky, Fixated on the darkness Echoes that no longer return, Carry on to be lost and never heard again The strongest foundation begins to crack Lay beside you motionless in he moonlight You still sleep with thoughts benign Ghost of a man inside, left behind Empty of form and removed of shape, Bounded by grey In the distance a voice is faintly heard, I see you walk away and never return again.

If my eyes were as blind as you said they are, Then where am I going? Am I following a misdirected view of purpose? I’m strangled by the overwhelming sense of the foreboding Behind the essence of time, here I lie These blinders have not yet shaped my sight, This illumination will save me yet Sometimes I’ve been mistaken for the barely alive, but not this time When I feel like I carry the weight of the world I only see further.

Dreams have led me here, Lost in silence, The darkness surrounds, Searching for something more I can feel a breath of air, Rising to touch pale skin A gentle caress brings me back I’ll wait for you, locked away I hold the key to this room I hope you find, find your way, Lost within the cover of smoke a voice cries out, I will save you from yourself Here we wait while hope still sleeps, The beautiful entry now a solid door to pass through The water breaks against stone, We find ourselves close to home Lost within the cover of smoke a voice cries out, You are not alone, I will save you, Lost within the cover of smoke a voice cries out, You are not alone, I will save you from yourself There are statues along the way to keep us safe, Below the sand disappears, And our footprints fade in the wake The trail left behind escapes under the cover of night Moving into the dim light, We have made it at last This is ours alone, This is ours to hold Never let go.

We’ve followed these set paths for far too long, And our feet grow weary of the familiar Our minds strive for a conduit of expression, Yet we shiver in the cold, Alone in the darkness When we reach for the stars, They only seem further away, But that never stopped us and today is our day With these shadows revealed, Our reflection is finally true This time we will never stop reaching, Until we are consumed by the light, Inching our way from darkness to forever escape its cold bite In a place of peace is where we shall be, For the rest of our days This is our creation in every way.
