Me

A confused man grows up blinded from the world
kept innocent longer than needed
Hypocrites force their ideas without following

Ten long years... wasted

Real friends come into his life
One from love, the other from understanding
Finally, a real, honest believer is the teacher

Ten long years... still wasted

The man discovers music a comfort
The girl is a life's dream
Death comes to take friends down

Ten long years... gone

Moving up in life, things are still easy
Boredom becomes a reality and hardship
An escape is needed, he's going public

Ten long years... coming to a close

A year of sorrow and struggle
Depression sets in, worth is questioned
An epic climax is reached far from home

Ten long years... now memories

A new beginning, and new friends
the "man" is finally a true man
a new world is born

Ten long years... they were great

A burst of speed...
A panicking soul...
The car flies out of control

A sudden stop...
A violent smash...
The sounds of a car crash

A painful night...
A tortured rest...
The knowledge I am not at best

A tedious wait...
A final prayer...
The surgery is my only care

A tough recovery...
A great outcome...
The news that I will go home

A long absence...
A hard task...
The completion is hard to ask

A loving family...
A helping hand...
The answer to every demand

A powerful ally...
A close friend...
The God who spared me from the end

this was unexpected yet pleasant
something I'm almost ready for
the shock is still sinking in
I haven't seen a baby in the family before

am I supposed to be the strong one?
the one who'll say all the strong words?
I still don't know what's happening
and I'm already an uncle

this was unexpected yet awesome
to see something so incredible
the birth of a new person
I haven't even thought about this before

am I supposed to be the strong one?
the one who'll say all the strong words?
I still don't know what's happening
and now I'm an uncle

I'll try to do my best
I'll try to stand up tall
I'll try to set an example
I'll try not to fall
I'll try...

The wind blows across the face of the sea

Moon shimmering across the waves like

Some hypnotic gyroscope... capturing me

Luring me to the gates of destination Heaven

Take me there, to where I want to be... Alive

I want to stay here eternally with the stars

With you by my side I feel like I could survive

And live forever in peace and harmony

I don't want it to end... No, don't let it fade

You've made me feel like never before

And with four simple words affection is made

"You make me happy."

In one night I was proven wrong about life

Hope remains, for it was never gone

It was only hidden behind a mask of strife

My simple words revealed its face

Now what happens?

How should I feel?

Where am I going?

Who am I?

If there's a way I'm supposed to feel
beyond the worry and confusion,
I wish you would tell me what's real
or give some truth to my delusion.

I'm lame to your other persuasions,
but I understand you are torn
and I will respect your decisions,
because you've made me feel reborn.

You've reopened feelings I had denied
and made me feel anew.
Please, don't tell me not to cry,
because that's all I want to do.

We're both struggling against a
current and trying to stay above,
but our goal drifts farther away
and left alone is our love.

As we drift toward our future plans,
I won't forget you and me.
And should our paths cross once again
may some destiny come to be.

If it's meant, I don't care when and how,
because God will do the rest.
I'd rather enjoy our time right now,
and make of it the best.

Before we finally part there's still
one last thing I'd like to do.
Of all the girls I may meet, I feel
my first kiss should go to you.

Memories, marred moments of youthful love
seem like an unending torrent of emotional unrest.
Repetitive raping of my feelings as the film replays
again
and tears can't cleanse away these stains of pain.

Dying hearts and destructive lust-
I wish my weapon of karma upon thee.
Maniacal laughter... am I mad?
Indeed angered, but not yet crazy.

Morbid thoughts of death and fire,
heaps of burning corpses, like your hair,
red and glowing when the sun hits it right.
Harlot, whore, slut, liar...
Although the surface may seem lovely and fair,
your heart is as black as the darkest night.

It's interesting how things so messed up
can lead to a greater good sometimes,
and I've realized that there are people
in this world that are not worth my time.

I've had enough happiness stolen from me.
I think it's time I search for one who'll
let me be free and love me like SG...
a sketch of the perfect girl for this lovesick fool.

This bed feels so empty without you here
and your smell on my sheets is a torture
I should always wish to endure

I can't sleep even though my body is telling me I should
All I want to do is call you again
Your voice will bring me some comfort
from the loneliness I almost can not bear anymore

My mind is racing... playing images
over and over through my thoughts
the past, present, future
the pain, pleasure, love

In you I realize a reason to go on every day
Another day closer to holding you in my arms
and telling you how much I love you
Another day nearer to sharing your tears
and wiping them away
Another day to long for the happiness
which springs from feeling your lips on mine

"You are the only one for me"
and every passing day makes it ever clearer to my heart

Until next I feel your soft embrace... I love you
Forever
