| Memory Lane The red and golden leaves of Autumn's Change Drift down from the trees of Summer Memories To land on the floor of the Forest of Reminiscence And mingle with the dirt and grime of Past Agonies. Images of past love, pain, happiness and sorrow Gather together at the end of the tunnel To greet the dawning omen of light To welcome new memories before taking flight . The red and golden leaves of Autumn's Change Drift down from the trees of Summer Memories To mingle with the dirt and grime of Past Agonies And take flight into the Sky of Serenity. |

| I Miss You I miss the arms that used to wrap around me hold me close and kiss me softly bring me to a safer place yet knew when to let me have some space I miss a tender touch and whisper a soft laugh and a warm embrace yes...that is how the two of us were its gone now, a tear in its place I miss a boy I never knew who's life was cut short , too soon before he ever truly lived he died for him...I am dead inside. |
| When I Fall Dangling on the precipice of Insanity, My consciousness desperately grasping for a hold A cliffhanger of Society Who will catch me when I fall? A dove and a raven swoop at me, Attempting to drive me to some limit; Fall to Insane or crawl back to Sanity. Will you catch me when I fall? My fingers are slipping, greased with Good Intentions, My feet flail to find a ledge to stand on. Independence has gone too far this time; Now there's no one to catch me, And I've fallen. |
| Mental Block Alter when alteration you find Skip around the obstacles in your mind Make up answers and ideas Ignore the boos, hisses, jeers; They don't know the reasons for your tears You cry for the light which is now dead And all the shadows in your head Foggy minds and cloudy eyes Make reality hard to see Give in to the darkness; You'll never be free Alter when alteration you find Skip around the obstacles in your mind You cry for the light which is now dead It makes reality hard to see Give in to the darkness; You'll never be free |
| Let the Little Things Slide Strip yourself of your possessions But retain a level of pride Keep with you all life's lessons And let the little things slide These words are arranged to sounds pretty and rhyme Sometimes the wording seems contrived But the core meaning is still alive Look to read between the lines Strip yourself of your possessions But retain a level of pride Keep with you these life lessons And remember to let the little things slide |
| Take A Chance What are you afraid of? Love and happiness? What is it you hide from? A chance for lasting bliss? you need to learn to trust in me You have to trust in us For a week, or eternity We're blessed with this love Don�t hide from me and run away Just life is not enough No matter what, I'm here to stay What are you afraid of? |
| Walk Away how is it that i live without you god in heavens i don�t know the world is turning faster now I�m getting dizzy catch me if i fall touch my face and say goodbye don�t leave me without a final word if you gotta leave then do it now begone with you don�t turn around the road is getting longer behind you music pulsing sets the tone the gravel flies rev the engine fly baby-don�t come home. |
| Tear Drop A small oval teardrop, on a mahogany tabletop. A golden sheen. Shining brightly from within, Nowhere to end, or begin. A tear full of such emotion, set by someone into motion. A tear of sorrow. Shining brightly from within, Where to start, where to begin? The shining drop catches his eye, And he looks up in mild surprise. A tear of pain? Shining brightly from within, It must stop, but where to begin? An apology from his hurtful lips, A gentle touch of angry fingertips. Another tear falls. Shining brightly from within, This trail of tears began with him. |
| Untitled(Love) If I close my eyes and dream I can see your handsome face It offers me a piece of mind In this wild, crazy place. The time is flying, racing quickly And I never would have guessed That when you wrap your arms around me Happiness would be mine, at last. Your smile....What a smile.. It shines from deep inside And in your eyes can rage a sea storm Or the gently soothing tides. I've never loved this way before Nor will I ever love this way again You and I...We are Forever It's a game we can't help but win. I have you to thank for everything My life, my mind, my soul, my heart You awakened me to new horizons The walls I had? You took them apart. When you hold me, then I'm safe We have a love that�s honest, true. I wish to God you never let go... I Love You. |
