Step Beyond
I’m pleading mercy for this Errant Son His life half begun and he still isn’t learning Maybe he’s dazzled by these crazy dreams And useless delusions Always running a step beyond From the realm of control All to keep an edge up in this Land of desperate souls You really need direction A destination I kind of like how it all falls together My sense of humor hasn’t failed me yet I like the adventure Always running a step beyond From the realm of control All to keep an edge up in this Land of desperate souls You know it only takes a moment To open up your eyes To notice things in passing I guess fearing has its price Can you see it? If I throw away the Garbage in my head Put my demons to bed I’d be happy Sometimes I feel there’s something more to me You tell me I scare you You know it only takes a moment To open up your eyes To notice things in passing I guess fearing has its price Can you see it? What is lost is lost and You make your way through This cartoon of life under heavy sedation What is the price to keep your sanity? Not sure I could tell you Always running a step beyond From the realm of control All to keep an edge up in this Land of desperate souls Open up your eyes Open up your mind

Guess I have to go It always seemed so easy to me Come to say goodbye I left a summer day Fading fast Into this flawed reflection I see The fear of losing The fear I’ll never leave this place For just one perfect moment when it all came together We stood in time and watched as the past ran away Remember lifetimes Years go by and gain momentum What we’re searching for Must fill the need for something More I used to think The world belonged to me Before I lost it now I can’t see More So much at stake Afraid of all the time I’ve wasted Afraid of feeling sorry for myself Call it destiny Seeking a promise You reach for a memory When the bottom falls away It’s like a mystery Reveling all its pages to me A most reluctant show You always need to see a little More I used to think The world belonged to me Before I lost it now I can’t see More So much at stake Be careful wishing Just might have to mend the mess you make Lowly pawns surviving in this complex game Watching as the moments slip away Throw away your inhibitions Light the way And don’t deny the wish for something More I used to think The world belonged to me Before I lost it now I can’t see More So much at stake Afraid of all the time I’ve wasted Afraid of feeling sorry for myself

It started off with waking One day knowing the next turned upside down Where’s that sense of adventure Now that your wish has come around This uncertainty No longer be a victim of it To wander the earth as a prophet To master their minds and their hearts To speak with the tongue of an angel Still wondering how it went this far From a million stories Gleaning information from their lives In forgotten towns And countless souls in the city of light Doubt in what they’re saying Maybe just a part you’re playing To wander the earth as a prophet To master their minds and their hearts To speak with the tongue of an angel Still wondering how it went this far Are you believing in All the things you’re saying And your words are stone set History The golden charm of faith in action Of new mentality And to never know of peace Or a moment’s restful sleep It’s a power attraction And it takes your breath away To wander the earth as a prophet To master their minds and their hearts To speak with the tongue of an angel Still wondering how it went this far

Will blue times go the way of feelings As always they have left me Sitting alone with myself And all my Haunting memories Sorting through my problems And to break down by degrees Time to put the mask aside and find the corner where I hide myself Always thinking back To when it seemed I handled almost everything Gracefully and I feel so tired I think maybe there is no side left of me to see It always seems darker The deeper in my mind The memories of laughter That reach across a wealth of dreamless sleep And will she remember? Not sure if she will So much time in wandering My soul is never still

I can appreciate it You want to be different and I can see it’s so confining Your differences seem so alike to me Like some strange conformity Important things Jekyll and Hyde in your Reasoning you know I’ve known you Godlike self-delusions And mob mentality And if you hope I’m losing sleep it won’t mean much to me We achieve perfection in our parody We’re both different but the same in desperation So maybe I’m confused And I might never say enough So maybe I don’t like the way you do things But then who am I to judge? I know I seem a little disappointed and know You find it so surprising I don’t believe in your philosophies Even though you think the proof is too large not to see To achieve perfection should I fall in line? Not so different but we fight about it all the time So maybe I’m confused And I might never say enough So maybe I believe you’re full of anger But then who am I to judge? So maybe I’m a fool To not believe in you I’m thinking for myself

Hope is the candle To lead them through the deep inferno Help me father To make these words a picture of the thing And to earn the praises they sing Time flies on by And I feel so detached from real life They whisper softly It fills me with a sense of dread I question Do they know me for what I really am? Surprise it doesn’t frighten them to look so deep I see inside the madman they trust in The doubting me The shining knight in white They think they know me for what I am Night is closing in And this fool can only do the best he can We are turning pages Ever changing mind and faith Infinite in our complexity Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change Hello conscience I thought that you were all but dead It’s true wishful thinking Dealing with who I am And voices like the shadows call filling my Surroundings everlasting and maddening Crowding but lonely and apart They think they know me for what I am Time the visions come And I see Shining but distant Burning out of the night We are turning pages of ever-changing mind and faith Disbelieving our mortality Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change Nothing can ever stay the same for you and I Smile when the morning comes Safe in the rising sun Find what you’re looking for Breathe in the warmth of the day We are turning pages Ever changing mind and faith Infinite in our complexity Choosing our own way Can never really stay Living out our desperate dreams in constant change

Silent watching Waiting for the right time to arrive And with a move like lightning Steal you from the spotlight Never act and many feel that it’s a sure sign of weakness We’ve had our share of meekness It couldn’t wait The time has come to show our faith Just overcome your fear Deny it to the end It’s been nothing more than talk and pretend It had to be this way Could never change your mind Gather Gaining strength so we can force our will upon them Bring our banner to the masses on judgment day The moment’s here and now; are you with us or against us Feel free to choose but answer without delay No delay You’re the brick that holds us down Everything’s been said The lines were drawn by the lies we were fed It had to be this way Couldn’t change your mind Now there’s nothing here for you Turned your back on what you knew was right What color is the sky in your world today? What used to be your life has torn you down Only ashes are left of what you felt Might be the spark to light the way Deny it to the end Do something more than talk and pretend You never felt quite sane And never safe And everything’s been said They finally got their way I guess It had to be this way Couldn’t change your mind

I sometimes wonder if I’ll be remembered For what I’ve done After I’m gone I really only ever wanted to do what was right Not just for myself But for everyone involved in this I sometimes think I’ve lost heart just a little And things seem to slip by so much faster now Just so you know This isn’t what I wanted It’s gotten to be too much It’s my fault I should’ve known And maybe it’s easier for you to put me down this time But I’ve done all the thinking The work and worry up to now You say you don’t care No purpose left in our endeavors And I make you angry with the simple fact I don’t feel the way you do My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I’ve found within me Now it’s all come to nothing Never claimed to have all the answers You feel I’ve cheated you somehow You know it never was for myself I only wanted to belong and be loved You couldn’t see what I felt I never promised to be your reason or your savior Everything you need My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I find within me Now it’s all come to nothing Though we’ve tried nothing’s changed Sit back and watch the pieces fall Don’t leave anything worth saving Degrading all we’ve built To dust and ashes What passes for memories of guilt And in my mind your anger is taking over Everything you see This madness, this is your pride Can’t you see that all your envy eats you up inside Used to want to help us all It’s too late the end is here Nothing pure; petty hate; all is lost Could it be that you still believe you’re right? So I didn’t fit your grand picture Who’s the fool? Can you tell? Me or you What’s left but hurt when you say that you feel this way Goodbye to peace Just say goodbye to yesterday How many dreams we’ve lost to pain How many lifetimes Will we be forced to give away? Couldn’t see what I felt I never promised you To be your reason or your savior, to be your everything My arms around you What I find; what I find within you Your arms around me What I find within me Now it’s all come to nothing So I didn’t fit your solution Who’s the fool? Can you tell? Me or you What’s next It is hurt; is it anger To me you’re a stranger with far too much to prove

We’ve said so many things Hurt we can’t take back And it’s cold living with regret You simply didn’t seem to understand And I wish that you could see the way I do I wonder what you’d say And where in time you’ll be And if you will remember me I’m truly sorry I know it’s much too late But you’d be proud of me if you could know my faith And maybe someday I’ll find all the answers To the end we’ll have to live with knowing what we’ve lost If I could take it back would we be much more? Could you try or will you tell me that you’ve heard it all before You’ll never know how I wish that you could see the way I do I wonder what you’d say And where in time you’ll be And if you will remember me
