1. Forging the Universe
What we know is microscopic in nature
in proportion to what lies beyond
stranded here in the fog
confined to this dimension
existing here for so long
in fading harmony with the clues
The evidence exists in strange places
Beyond Humanity's eyes
Unseen hands mold wonders
Forging the universe.
A civilization
Unknowing of its treasure
No longer recognizing it
to utilize its value
The beggar scoffs
at its very suggestion
His pockets will remain
Forever empty.
2. The Earth's Reflection
Of what significance am I?
What difference if I lived, or if I died?
These are the questions on our minds
We are the earth's reflection.
Nothing holds any meaning for me,
now my only desire is to sleep
But I'm kept awake all night
Drowning in a sea of torrential thoughts
The world has numbed my touch
although I've never asked for much.
I've been given nothing
Cause everything I get is taken from me
And everything I give of myself is left at their feet
Every drop of sweat and blood I shed for you soon dries
Was I born to only breathe and slowly die?
Show me what's the reason for all this - I barely feel aware
Who am I in the big picture - a speck among the spheres
We are the earth's reflection, but who will even care
for all of the intentions, of a single man so mere?
For a moment, won't your heart open
To everything I have to give
For a moment, forget your own plans
For a moment, lend me an ear
Everything I give is meaningless
Until your heart holds it near.
3. Lavish Lurid Liquid
The last drop of golden nectar flows down,
I've grown golden feathers
..and the world seems better now
I swore that I'd never let myself
fall in too deep with you
one last round to ease the pressure
one more hour to stay together
but under the numbness, so oblivious
to more than just my senses
that's the danger of dancing with you
it started young
and the days seemed too soon done
time waits for no one when you're having a ball
we thought we would be wise
were we playing with our lives?
as the evening turned to night and we were leaving.
we each said our goodbyes
she said she's fine to drive
I didn't say a word but I had a feeling
I drove home slow, and as I arrived,
there was the phone
before I even picked it up my heart was sinking
years later now I still remember
her face and smile. I grow weak inside..
I know the danger, of one last dance with you
lavish lurid liquid
we try so hard to escape
and we lose something more
It hurts to be reminded
but there's still something to live for
4. (Enter) Into the Chambers
Welcome won't you please come inside
And see there's nothing that I have to hide
Visit the chambers of my mind
Each holds a message of a different kind
Some hold emotions, some hold sins
But if you search you'll find deeper within
What keeps me going, what makes me tick
And you'll see our differences don't really run so thick
Deep seeded preconceptions run through us all
break through the skin
Or miss the deepest beauty of all
All I want is, to show you what love is
We need clarity
This world is so clouded
All I want is, to show you what love is
We need relief
Our thoughts are so crowded
But I've prepared a place for you
I've cleared a space, to let your light shine through
I want to give it back, ten fold
So come in and take shelter from the cold
5. Lunar Link
Moonlight, though beautiful you shine
I'm reminded of a time when it felt fond to rest my eyes on you
I do find you were always by my side
In the day so pale, sometimes I fail to notice you
Cosmic connection, with you I share a link
When we both look at the moon, I can almost sense what you think
And your reflection resides in its light
And I'm reminded of a time when all felt right
You are my daylight, you are my candlelight
In you I find my delight, in your glow
You are my daylight, you are my candlelight
So I'll just sit tight and hope
Cause there's a link between us
A cosmic bond between us
I can't deny.
When there's distance between us
Silence on our lips between us
It matters not.
Cause there's a link between us
A common bond between us
I can't deny that I love you
When there's distance between us
Silence on our lips between us
It matters not, just look at the moon
6. Shangri-La
She looks into her own reflection: She sees someone nobody could love.
Sick and tired of being a cheap posession; seeking all the wrong places, for the one.
Shangri-la, the soulmate of her dreams, only exists in her mind, it seems.
Shangri-la, where she would be queen - where love isn't beyond, but between.
She cannot see her beauty.
Alone, words could not suffice to express.
The gestures of the heart whisper softly
yet scream what is manifest..
Alone, words could not suffice to express.
The gestures of the heart whisper softly..
Search my heart and see that shangri-la exists.
She can't see her beauty, nobody told her.
Spoken and hollow, mere words mean nothing.
(the silence of a stone heart is haunting..)
She can't see her beauty, nobody showed her.
Soulless mirror reflection reveals nothing.
(the silence of an empty room is daunting..)
I long to be
Everything the world is not
The embodyment of a dream,
The summer of cherished thoughts.
She lays unaware
As the pale blue twilight creeps;
of the one whom she might embrace,
when she awakens from her sleep.
7. World in Me
If I was blind, if I paid no mind to the world inside
making its image burned
there'd be no way to see what I've become
save a memory that seems too blurred
I see faith as a crutch, it demands too much
it holds me back from acting upon impulse
Reinventing my identity every day
cause I'm not satisfied with what nature defined
my world of wonders remains all my concern
as though I fear the day when it might cease to turn
I think I'm free cause I'm not captive to your words
I think I'm free cause I seek escape from the hurt
But I'm not really free, with the world in me
it has no direction, so I drift aimlessly
if I stumbled upon the truth, would I know it was real
when my concept of reality is molded from what I feel
If there was a definitive truth, rooted beyond this realm
of what we define as real, but ultimately guiding it all
parallel to the physical but invisible to the eye
would I seek it out? would I call it a lie?
8. Suicide by Suspicion
This shield I place in front of me
holds me together, I can never put it down
It's getting quite heavy to carry
But I feel I need it, whenever you're around
In my mind, I'm the victim
By this design, you're the enemy
I can always find a reason
And a way to impress it deeply
I suspect that you're scheming
All these years have hardened me
Words I've found, have little meaning
You want me to listen, but I don't know how
Unreasonable I am, I run
My shield is up, the defense has begun
Unreasonable I am, I run
All this life's chances wasted, one by one
Killing slowly, but you never aimed one blow
I'm a victim of programmed paranoia
