Of Shape and Balance

I never thought that it would hurt Now I know that it was a delusion The secret I have kept inside Since I was a child I ignored it had happened The childhood fear I've tried to conceal But now you're coming back again Familiar face from the past The face that would haunt me forever It is this feeling that bewilders me again It's something I look back in awe Within myself I struggle hard to ease the pain It's something that won't relent at all I'm trying hard to understand The letter you once wrote Those words will never leave me alone But now I'm a man And I'm still in confusion By your words of hate and deceit Now here I go again Through pages filled with writing But they're not the ones with importance I can read between the lines Straight into your evil mind As we slowly intertwine We become one

Running 'round in circles Never really moving Waiting for a miracle To give us cultivation Up and down the spiral Drifting back and forth Avoiding the perimeter At the edge of awareness We're placing Darwin under question Yet we don't even know who we are We're rising to the occasion And think we're the one called God Static progress accidental reflex Static progress displays our strength and weakness In and out of focus Perspective gets twisted Looking from the inside Dying to be let out We disagree with the truth We deny the matter of course We are parasites in bloom We are feasting on our host In our prayers we ask for understanding We get a glimpse of what's to come In our clouds there's no more silver lining It's turned to black and hides the sun

Revulsion The words are led astray Convulsion My pride has gone away Once closer to the one you fear Surrender let your thoughts wander I can make you rule me Cause you can't take me to lie I am born narrow minded I am always misleaded I am turning into someone else Oblivion my dreams are faded Disillusion I am bitter jaded Now forever you'll drown in sin Forgiveness what you're longing for Once I was self-assertive I had my future so prepaired Didn't know that I was dying I was dying inside out No more future, no more people I am losing, I am drowning I can't cry now, I can't laugh now I have gone now Into the dark hole

I have crossed the bridge of sighs A thousand times before I have seen what lies behind The hangman's eyes before Now I know the secret Now I know the game Everything is gone now Everything's the same I never asked to be born again and again When the light of day is gone Forever I am one Last rays from the soon dead sun No time for last goodbyes Everything inside me dies I feel sorry for the sun I have walked the trail of tears A hundred years before I have felt the burning fear The ending near before I'm not the one to cry for I'm gonna be alright Whatever will happen I will survive I'm not the one to die for I'm gonna stay alive Whatever will happen I will survive Again and again

Sparkles of dawn Washes the ground Fearless faces Watch from the underground The gates of mist Open up their eyes The new day has arrived With lust in it's hands And the children of dawn scream phrases The groundfrost got them on their knees On their way to the forgotten kingdom Drowning along with trivial wisdom Seemingly timeless is their journey Disbelief living Among their crowd Groundfrost collect its Victims one by one Got to find the way out of this nightmare Got to get into the valley of warmth But we don't know how Used to live in peace and never had any wars Got to get into the valley of warmth But we don't know when And the children of dawn Held phrases The groundfrost Got all their lives On their way to Forgotten wasteland Wasting the greatest might In sand buried within Their desert grave And the groundfrost got It's eternal silence Maybe it was ment to be This way...

Distant thunder breaks the silence Dark clouds bring the rain Birdsong ceases before the storm I get this feeling again Darkness wraps me in its veil I can feel it 'roud my throat I'm standing naked in rain Just teardrops for my coat I feel I've been here a lifetime ago Why do I still remember Still remember it all The feeling I get is so strong yet so sore You promised I wouldn't remember Wouldn't remember at all The storm is over and I'm alone Kneeling on the grass I raise my head and look up high Watch the dark clouds pass I feel the wind dry up my skin And listen to the roar As it slowly rolls away And leaves me wanting more These cynic eyes have seen through lies And so much more When the knot unties there's paradise I can afford Suddenly I feel refreshed and warm Suddenly I feel depressed and so cold Suddenly there's nothing I can feel I realize I'm alone in the field

By the rising sun I vaporize Like the icy morning dew I scratch myself together For another day so blue My thoughts are few and far between By the mountainside I wander What I am what I've become I am the clouds I'm under I roll with the punches And roll with the clouds I drift with the tide And hide in my shroud As the final curtain falls I'm the wind the evening breeze And maybe you will hear my call As I whisper in the trees After all is said and done And you have found your peace You will know I am the one Who lives within your dreams High above the mountain peak I roll among the clouds And far beyound the snowbound dirt I sleep within the ground I'm everything in nothingness I am the air you breathe My image expressionless I'm your dream when you're asleep

She was the light in my life that night Looking so innocent Such a pretty sight I never thought I could end up being like that Taking my life away Taking everything she had I felt the guilt for the tears I made her cry I felt the guilt for those cries I'm made of clay I'm made of bitter fright How could I put an end to our life in that night Wandering round confused with a gun in my hand Swallowing it all the way Too tired to stand This world was too hard for me This world was too cruel for me By the time she understands These words are all I ever wanted to say Please don't let your tears fall down Cause this is the only good thing I've ever done Something lives inside me Something breath my air Something using my thougts That something was my pride

Please come to me I have begun to see The truth behind this all Everything Everything is false Part of me died with sunset Second brought my pain Now I'm listening strange voices And I'm lost again Once I had a dream Being better than I have been What went wrong I'm stuck in the tide It's not what it seems I'm losing my dreams Drowning along in shallow waters I need something to believe in Concrete lies or happiness Something to paint the picture Something to realize for sure I know what lies beneath the surface Faceless nameless in the crowd I am Drowning in shallow water Losing faith Losing everything I hoped for Seething without air Desperately seeking for something real One with the waves I blend in the crowd and lose identity Betrayed by dreams and unsaid words The tide is trying to find Its shape and balance Swallowing pride Restless inside Drowning in shallow water
