Journey

The stars will not align
Seasons charted out of turn
The steps are not yet written
As I boldly grace the floor
With what strength I have I'll fake it
Buy the time to find my way
Though the road I walk is endless I will walk it til my end

Road of Sorrows

Take me down my road of sorrows
And I will tarry there
Beware of the spark that bursts into flame
For that spark lives in me

I will be caught and wrapped up in a false world
I'll dance a dance that no one can stop
Pointed bare toes against cold, cold white marble
And the velvet will sing as it brushes the floor

Take me down my road of sorrows
And I will tarry there
Beware of the spark that bursts into flame
For that spark lives in me

Diminutive fingers all covered in lace
Pull hard at the gates of a garden quite fair
Rows upon rows of the rarest of flowers
But alas, the most precious is withered and dead

Siren's Song

Hail ye men who've traveled so far
Come rest with me here
And I'll sing you a song
For the breeze is so cold
But my body so warm
Am I not fair?
Can you say it's not so?

I've pale star-kissed skin
Raven hair black as pitch
The most delicate poise
That you ever did see
Though pink and bright
There is death on my lips
Though I smile as sweet
As a wee infant child

Set sail for my island
Safe haven, sweet home
Come to me, darling
My soul aches and burns
Wrap me in your arms
And I'll be your one love
Forever t'will be
And not one day less

Steer straight and true
Do not glance to the shore
Where the waves crash and spray
And the sea kicks up foam
When the prow hits the crags
Man and vessel will crack
And I'll laugh as I bury you
Under the waves

Follow Me

Come find me in the silence
In the world behind my eyes
I see through her disguise
I can hear her wordless cries

I can feel it hit the mark
Like a whisper in the dark
Like an arrow through my heart
Come follow me

Come follow me
Where none may go
To a place where I've decided you belong
Come wrap me in your heart
And it will be your home
Come follow me
Come follow me home

The winds are always changing
Suns will rise and stars will fall
Will you stay to see it all
Do you dare to scale these walls

I can feel her hesitate
Like the moment came too late
Like a feather bound to fate
Come follow me

Her voice is in the Summer
I can hear it on the breeze
Drifting gently through the trees
Laughing, catch me if you please

I can feel my heart take flight
Like a blaze cuts through the night
Like winged things drawn towards the light
Come follow me

Bridge to Better Days

Close my eyes.
Fantasize.
Recall the past
Where simpler times
Held me fast
And in my grasp
Contentment thrived.

I knew my way.
Night or day
My path was clear
And I could stay
All of my fears
But now these tears
They fall unchecked.

I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.

Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll be better.
Darling, you'd better.

Take my hand.
Can you stand?
Let's leave this place.
We will span
What can't be erased.
In my embrace
Begin to heal.

I can't steal the pain you feel
But mother
Let me mother you.

Was it ill wishes
Or was it just fate?
The suffering that takes you and makes you
Different,
But not always better.
You might be different
But I think you'll get better.
Darling, you'd better.

Voice of an Angel

The hope we shared is long since dead
That ship has sailed
My course is set
For calmer seas
A path to seek
A quiet place to mend my wings

No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world

She won't respond
You're not on the list
The last song was played
The nightingale sang
Here's your goodbye
It's signed with a kiss of death

Angel of music sing for me
Until I have no need for you
Anachronistic
Incomplete
A puppet girl to pose on strings

No ribbon binds me to you
How dare you try to break my dream world

Too Close For Comfort

My lifeblood ran careless through channels made for it
Beating with pulses both measured and true
'Til heartache decided to pay me a visit
Through all those unfaithful, hated, and rued

Death came to greet me in faces unnumbered
I portioned my lifeblood out unwittingly
And each face that promised a bond in repayment
Vanished without warning, most permanently

They've drained me of Being, those miserable wretches
Killing me in the most passive of ways
I feel me and my netherworld spirit self meshing
As all of my fragments are fading away

My insides are drying, peeling, and dying
Gone is the warmth that I once felt within me
Now I am finding there's no hope in trying
I release you, my chains, to now die and be free
