Honor thy father....
We're taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water That a parent's world would revolve Always around their son or their daughter You pretend I was your own And even believed that you loved me But were always threatened by some Invisible blood line that only you could see You took advantage of an outreached hand And twisted it to meet your every need ''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries, I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee'' Well listen to me you ungrateful fool Her comes a dose of reality You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan On and on and on and on it goes It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the nerve to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone So ignorant to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree I tried your 4 bill therapy I tried to make amends But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet Don't you see respect is not a one way street Blaming everyone for all that you've done wrong I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song On and on and on and on it goes And with every passing day true colors show How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone Oblivious to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree Watch where you walk Don't you dare cross the crooked step Watch the way you talk Don't cross the crooked step On and on and on and on it goes Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this shit on me Never in my life have I seen someone So fucking blind to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree |
NICE!!! A little Dream Theater always makes my day happier. :thumbsup
Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me and Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me and All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is to set it right Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done Oh that this too Too solid flesh Would melt |

In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this. The dew of the morning Sunk chill on my brow-- It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. Thy vows are all broken, And light is thy fame; I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame. They name thee before me, A knell to mine ear; A shudder comes o'er me-- Why wert thou so dear? They know not I knew thee, Who knew thee too well: -- Long, long shall I rue thee, Too deeply to tell. In secret we met-- In silence I grieve That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? -- With silence and tears. |

Turmoil surrounding me,
the darkness is swallowing me. Perhaps this will give me the power I need. On the final hour of the night, it's time to say goodbye, my beloved. You were always so beautiful, always irresistible, but never indestructible. I look in your eyes, to feed you more lies, and you believe me, like you foolishly have done so many times before. I feel it's not enough. I feel like I need something more, to help me gain composure, to help me fuck you over. Night has fallen upon us, as you beg and plead, and cry and try to leave, but you are too drawn to me. Sweet revenge rests on my lips, I can taste the blood as it slowly drips. Your life fades away, my soul fades away, our love fades away. It must end this way. Goodbye. |
within are self the life will grow
within are day's the darkness shows we feel the night that closes in we run from what is deep within we fear the life that we could have we fear the life that we want so bad In are days the solitude shows while reaching out to behold to feel the life we want to know to dream the love that we could show but with this daemon on are back we find that no one is reaching back stretch out farther to grasp the soul of someone's life we want to know in all of this the fear remains to keep us hidden for one more day to keep us away from what we want to keep us in a lonesome spot. Reach into your heart Reach into your soul, Feel the pulse that beats within Feel the rhythm that life does hold, Let go of your fears Let free your tears, In this way let life progress In this manner Do not regress, Always look forward And never look back, And see the love that life can hold When reaching inward towards your soul Sit alone and look to the night Sit alone free from fright, Keep your thoughts free and clear Keep your Dreams from year to Year, Never let go of what you want Never give in to those who taunt, And you will see what life does hold When looking inward at your soul. |
She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair. I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes. Just beyond the chruchyard gate Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate "In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide" I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died. I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes. And as her image wandered through my head, I wept just like a baby as I lay awake in bed And I know what it's like To lose someone you love And this felt just the same. She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye Relive the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last The door is open wide I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes. |

?Loneliness makes your heart break every time you remember to feel...You can be lonely in a crowd if nobody is near to love and befriend you...
Death will not cause the loneliness to subside, it only changes the world in which you are alone...? |
Cold
Lying in my bed Staring into darkness Lost I hear footsteps overhead And my thoughts return Again Like a child who's run away And won't be coming back Time keeps passing by As night turns into day I'm so far away And so alone I need to see your face To keep me sane To make me whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Pain It saddens me to know The helplessness you feel Your light Shines on my soul While a thousand candles Burn Outside this barren room The rain is pouring down The emptiness inside Is growing deeper still You're so far away And so alone You long for love's embrace To keep you sane To make you whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Over the distance We try to make sense Of surviving together While living apart Striving for balance We rise to the challenge Of staying connected In spite of circumstance All you've forsaken And all that you've done So that I could live out This undying dream Won't be forgotten Or taken for granted I'll always remember Your endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice |
A question well served
"Is silence like a fever?" A voice never heard? Or a message with no receiver?" Pray they won't ask Behind the stained glass There's always one more mask Has man been a victim O his woman, of his father? If he elects not to bother, Will he suffocate their faith? Desperate to fall Behind the Great Wall That separates us all When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there is balance Tonight he's Awake If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man Sin without deceivers A god with no believers I could sail by on the Winds of Silence And maybe they won't notice But this time I think It'd be better if I swim When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there is balance Tonight he's Awake If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man |

Don't
Tell me what's in Tell me how to write Don't tell me how to win This fight It isn't your life It isn't your right To take the only thing that's Mine Proven over time It's over your head Don't try to read between the Lines Are clearly defined Never lose sight of Something you believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been trying to justify you In the end I will just defy you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, Take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am As I am Still Running uphill Swimming against the current I wish I weren't so Fucked Feels like I'm stuck Lost in a sea of mediocrity ''Slow down, You're thinking too much Where is your soul?'' You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say You're in the way Of all that I believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, Take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am |

Waiting
In the calm of desolation Wanting to break From this circle of confusion Sleeping In the depths of isolation Trying to wake From this daydream of illusion How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood It challenges the essence of my soul And leaves me in a state of disconnection As I navigate the maze of self control Playing a lion being led to a cage I turn from a thief to a beggar From a god to God save me How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood Playing a lion being led to a cage I turn from surreal to seclusion From love to disdain From belief to delusion From a thief to a beggar From a god to God save me How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood |

Tell me
Remind me Chase the water racing from the sky Always beside me Taste the memories running from my eyes Nervous flashlights scan my dreams Liquid shadows silence their screams I smile at the moon Chasing water from the sky I argue with the clouds Stealing beauty from my eyes Outside the soundness of your mind Bathing your soul in silver tears Beneath a blackened summer sky Praying for time to disappear Beneath a summer sky Under glass moonlight Night awaits the lamb's arrival Liquid shadows crawl Silver teardrops fall The bride subsides to her survival By your hand I've awakened Bear this honor in my name :) |

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss And the passion, we're craving There's a message we miss Sometimes when the spirits left alone We must believe in something To find if we've grown Tragic reflex, shattered calm Static progress, senses gone Numb awareness, final psalm Swept away with the tide Through the holes in my hands Crown of thorns At my side drawing lines in the sand Sometimes, if you're perfectly still You can hear the virgin weeping For the savior of your will Sometimes, your castles in the air And the fantasies you're seeking Are the crosses you bear Sacred conflict, blessed prize Weeping crosses, stainless eyes Desperate addict, faith disguised Swept away with the tide Through the holes in my hands Crown of thorns At my side drawing lines in the sand We fabricate our demons Invite them into our homes Have supper with the aliens And fight the war alone We conjure up our skeletons Enlist the den of theives Frightened from our closets Then sewn upon our sleeves In the stream of consciousness There is a river crying Living comes much easier Once we admit We're dying Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake There's a bitterness we harbor And hate for hatred's sake Sometime we dig an early grave And crucify our instincts For the hope we couldn't save Sometimes a view from sinless eyes Centers our perspective And pacifies our cries Sometimes the anguish we survive And the mysteries we nurture Are the fabrics of our lives Swept away with the tide Through the holes in my hands Crown of thorns At my side drawing lines in the sand |
