Somethings just aren’t meant to last the brightest fires burn out too fast Twilight twinkles like a sword that we have cast into each other’s soul Will we wonder? in the end What happened to the magic? we once shared Everything now feels a little upside down I mean it feels like everything has been turned around What seems so right feels wrong somehow Just like being lost feels like you've just been found Everything feels like it's coming down the more we built it up The more it crumbles to the ground When sadness overwhelms you Your heart feels like a stone I'll be there for you You never are alone When your dreams begin to wane and you feel only the weight of defeat Just call out my name sweetheart I'll be there in a heartbeat When you feel cold and empty The only color you see is grey Please remember these words I love you Forever and a day In our final breaths will we finally know? We once held all the possibilities Of something better than you and much more important
A teen passed me on the sidewalk the other day His face was filled with anger His eyes with rage As he looked at me I saw bitterness and disgust wallow in his eyes You sicken me he seemed to say I just smiled I understood For one day not so long ago I had been this teenager And I knew what he saw in me I was the establishment The pettiness and greed I was the evil Part of the lies he had been taught to believe I was the sickness The terminal disease To this young man I represented society It’s still there you know Left behind Beside the rose Have you forgotten? The smell of summer’s rain Purple clover fields softly sprinkled with ginger rays Do not shed a tear Nor speak its name No, I will not explain It’s still there you know So, don't be afraid
I'm tired of thinking What I'm supposed to be thinking Or how I'm supposed to feel I'm tired of talking about What everyone is talking about Or saying things that others wish to hear I'm tired of having doubts About myself Because of other people's fears I'm tired of wondering How I'm supposed to act When someone else is near I’m tired of always hearing nothing but tripe and all this bullshit everywhere I think, I'll just be myself And if people can't deal with that I don't really care But... nothing really changed We must all get lost to find our way
Did you journey to the fountain? Did you find the hidden magic? That was placed there for us all so many of years ago Did you bring comfort to the lost, forgotten, bewildered and strange? Did you dance with the haunted the fearless and crazed? Did you watch the icy starry night shines its magnificent celestial light as it unrolled its panoramic wonders? Did you share quiet moments by a lake? The sensuous curves of a lover’s face The smell of rain in the air The soft-touch of a baby’s hand Tranquil times beside a fire The howl of the wind in the midnight hour Clouds floating in a sea of blue above a rich meadow where daisies bloom Did you sit on a rock and witness the mystical symmetries of a twisting mountain stream? Did you feel the sun upon your face? As you let your mind drift into a safe warm place? Through the valley and over the hills Did the fog lift and the years disappear? Did you release the buried treasures from behind the stranger's eyes? Upon the misty
Tonight, I got lost inside the rain Sailed through a cascading prism Onto another plain Everything I desire always goes away maybe it’s because I want it that it turns out that way If I didn’t need it It would probably stay but then I wouldn’t care anyway We want only what we can possess And we possess all that we control But what we cannot possess Possesses us and feeds upon our soul I keep trying to hold on to things that I know will never last Hoping one day the present will turn into the past So, do you think it can all just be forgotten? Even the answers to those questions that you sought so long ago I’ve lived my life in small places Amongst disheveled souls with worn out faces I’ve felt deep love for the loveless I’m at home with the homeless I’ve become one with the loneliness Love is a bear without any claws living alone inside empty walls Love is a riddle that can never be solved Struggling for an answer that can only be wrong Love is the hope inside us all We
Freedom from oppression is a human right Do not let the brave die in vain There are ideals worth dying for Those that wish to oppress us are enemies against us all and should be treated as such The fight against oppression is everyone's fight, if we have any humanity There is a moral imperative that we stand in unity against unprovoked and unjustified aggression We are obligated as humans to rise up against tyrants and petty autocrats Borders are man-made constructs that only exist to diminish and enslave human sovereignty The struggle for human dignity and self-worth Is a just cause for all people It’s up to us to defend it against any and all enemies Renounce your chains break free from your shackles Join together to fight the true enemy There is only one race The Human Race It is up to all of us not to let it die in disgrace We determine who’s in charge and who must fall
Once I was a Raven with vicious, savage claws I tasted the horror of humanity And felt their sorrowful, mournful calls Once I was the cancer that fed upon us all Delving in the coldest, darkest regions and dying for the cause Once I was a stranger afraid of everything I saw Everyone became an enemy myself most of all Once I was a Raven that sailed through dark night skies never knowing of life possibilities or the beauty in us all Once I was a dead man nothing lived in me But now, I hear the songs of sparrows And I wonder what it means Removed from all I thought myself to be Everything looks so pure feels so fresh and new Paradise glows inside my veins The night sky unrolls before me Filled with brittle stars And panoramic wonders In my heart Within my soul I’ve traveled Into the light Beyond the door It's sad when I look back on it now All those days tragically just wasted It’s a beautiful night I breathe in a thousand Mystic mysteries Relishing the new pleasures and
