10. Symptoms of an Unwanted Emotion
1. Beneath the Autumn Sun
Nothing I call love can clear away the clouds
To see beauty, to live under the light of you
Nothing I call love can clear away the clouds
From this cold and rainy day
Just like nothing but fear
Can keep me walking through these dreams
And as the scent of you fills my lungs
My minded is burned inside out
To see beauty once more
I see the world as full as you
And when you're gone I see only grey
Your smile makes my heart stand still
As alive as my trust is for you
The greater my descent in your absence
I hear the rain outside and realize
That I have yet to live under the light of you
This loneliness stands between me
And my own true happiness
As alive as I am outside
A part of me dies when I hear your distant voice
I can't be saved if love cant save me
2. Essence of Creation
It haunts me that my pain pours out in symphony
When measures and harmony can rip my insides out
My passion is the blood that drips from open wounds
Best friend's creation captures the essence of my sorrow
I unravel as my defenses wither
My devotion is stirring ablaze
Another tearful ending as notes strike the pain
My hands begin to tremble
As all my emotions are stirring ablaze
Another tearful ending as notes strike the pain
My hands begin to tremble
My passion is the blood that drips from open wounds
3. To Live in Dreams
Through the stains in my mind
I put the past to rest
Forget the cold years lie
And walk into forever
Standing in the presence
The days now bleed away
I shut my eyes to see
And dream to see your face again
Quiet reflection consumes me
Until I surrender to screams
I want to breathe again
I want to sleep no more
I have nothing but to remember
A delicate reminder
Say goodbye in a breath
Sometimes you just let go
4. When Time was Time and Life was Breath
Tonight in your eyes, I saw your fire die
There will be dreams to replace what fell apart
There will be hope to mend a child's broken heart
Promises of healing, they can be misleading
They are not what they seem
My love is made of broken dreams
When time was time and life was breath
The hope that still bounds us
Even as this darkness surrounds us
How, tonight in your eyes your fire dies
5. Holding Yesterday for Ransom
Now open your eyes
Broken mirrors don't make anything beautiful
Forget what you thought was right
Little boy, you know your scars
And you know they speak lies
So bury your head in your hands
One last tear for old times sake
Everything went wrong and you're weak to not think so
And here you are the smell of rain and rotten flowers
Grit your teeth and make that coward bleed
Until the end of time
Nothing can take you away from this place
They don't listen to what they don't want to hear
And they all speak of bittersweet happiness
You'll make it through
Little boy, open your eyes
One last tear for old times sake
He can never hurt you again
6. My Sadness has no Seasons
I can't believe the things you said to me
I never will relive that painful journey
So the fortress of discontent I build
And then with your destructive self
Tearing at the foundation of my own happiness
Thick deep in the memory of forget
And infinite minutes of pain
Sometimes I force the blame on everyone
Like wrenching my cold heart from my thread
My cold heart, I'm tormented
By the void of helplessness, my selfishness
In my heart, I'm tormented
By images I cannot forget
And infinite minutes of pain
Sometimes I force the blame on everyone
7. Ghost in the Melody
With every act, with eyes, and all of my being
From what is left of me and every dream
That I still hope to share with only you
What once was will never be again
To all that is I give and that I am not
What I've left behind has not left me
The next time you hear laughter
The silence belongs to me
I hold in mind and in heart
This earth that I have not loved
Will hold me
As I lay beneath it
This earth will hold me
8. A Reminder of these Heartless Days
I leave this secret with you
Think of it what you will
I've never felt so empty
This place has drained me
This place I could never hate more
I tried to forget what I've once felt or thought
Back when everyone was so genuine
What have I become?
I'm too close to the end
Of these winding down waters
A heartless configuration
A place I call home
It's all gone just that fast
And I've been alone the whole time
So now we begin the journey to oblivion
It starts to remind me
Of the day we rolled in the posies
Nothing mattered to us but each other
I could stare into your eyes for days
But good things all end the same
One too many memories to remind you
Of how amazing life once was
9. Ascension of Beauty
Broken wings surround
Shelter me in your embrace
Your feathers have burned
Specks of ash cover your solemn face
Your elegant eyes are merciless
As the wind whips through your silhouette of grace
Shade my eyes from impurity
I put my trust in you, will you put your trust in me?
Instill your undying beauty
Your essence burns in me
Your voice fills my heart
With words to lift my soul to fly
I close my eyes
As fingers brush my lips
Words like poetry, dreams take form
And spreading wings
Your essence burns in me
