A Matter of Time

Hope is gone, but I won’t jump the barricade
For fear that others could make it
Don’t leave my side again
If nothing is real why do I have to fake it?
In this sea of fear and judgment I will lay my head
But the truth is somewhere I can’t reach from my bed
The bigger they are, the harder we fall
I wish I could forget it all
Now hope is lost, for those who are so small
It’s always too much or never enough
The hand that feeds may call my bluff
Revealing what’s inside my broken doll
I let go what ought never to have been unseen
I know this pain and I know I’ve been here before
I will never learn my lesson hanging by my nails
It’s only a matter of time before I fly from the rails
And now I’m back where I started
The page turns but I’m nowhere near the end
It’s clear that I won’t sleep until I say goodbye
The bigger they are, the harder we fall
I wish I could forget it all
Now hope is lost, for those who are so small
It’s always too much or never enough
The hand that feeds may call my bluff
Revealing what’s inside my broken doll

Paper Skies

Lie to me of days gone by
As neon lights, they linger
Cast aside prophetic skylines
Making way for empty
Soulless vistas, all devouring light
The shroud of grey
Confronted by a fathomless paper sky
Feast your eyes, there’s no end in sight
Scattered shards of a vibrant day gone astray
End the days of no surrender
All the faith that passed you by
Say goodbye to toxic wonder
Cross your heart and hope to stay alive
So keep us restless and world-weary, homeward-bound
We pray for a calm, without the almighty requisite storm
...but that’s so cliché
Like the ghost of a distant summer
I think it's time to let go
Powdered wings on the empty doorstep
Show me what you really know
End the days of no surrender
All the faith that passed you by
Say goodbye to toxic wonder
Cross your heart and hope to stay alive
But these roads don't lead anywhere I want to go
But home
And the grey feels like everything I've ever known
City lights cast shadow vistas stretching on and on
So far and wide
Like a tempest, wild and reckless
Spreading fire from the earth
Into the plain and vacant sky
End the days of no surrender
All the faith that passed you by
Say goodbye to toxic wonder
Cross your heart and hope to stay alive

Swept Away

She came to me again last night
But fled with the light and left me wondering
Can I get away from this
Delusion of others’ borrowed bliss
A kiss so subtle that no one can see
But it’s not for me and it will never stay
Ever bound in fantasy
I know there’s nothing here for me
I don’t care if I’m never free again
And I don’t care if the water rushes in
Struggling to find my feet as it all falls down around me
Close my eyes and try to run as I hit the ground
Love may never return to the fold
But suffer for me that I might hear you say: “Only in a dream my dear”
I guess I’ll wait for something clear
I don’t care if I’m never free again
And I don’t care if the water rushes in
Waiting for it all to drop, though this pain may never stop
I don’t care if I’m never free, never free again
So sink your claws into me, like cables deep in the sea
Sustaining you keeps me weak
So drain the ocean and take what you came for
I don’t care if I’m never free again
And I don’t care if the water rushes in
Waiting for it all to drop, though this pain may never stop
I don’t care if I’m never free, never free again

Silver
04:10

Empty nights, the best pretender
Another way to misremember the fire
That your love has put out
The situation's back in focus
I can't believe I never noticed how quietly
You followed me down
A subtle hint that no one sees
A hope that you won't think of me
In the night when you're alone
And your thoughts all turn to home
That I never thought I'd be
I can't see anything today
It feels like nothing's going to change
The daylight blinds the liar
But I find it takes me higher
And now it's been so long
I can't remember
Narrowed eyes, and words unspoken
No feelings that you'd want have awoken
And silence is a gift I can give
Broken down, not broken out
There's nothing left to talk about
And I can't just close the rift and forgive
I've had enough of sympathy
I can't recall the quiet place
Where all those feelings went
No healing reticence
Just please, please leave me be
I can't see anything today
It feels like nothing's going to change
The daylight blinds the liar
But I find it takes me higher
I thought I'd come so far
Time keeps rushing by
Another day, another collar
Praying that you'll find
It doesn't feel the way it ought to
Now I've
Come to realize
You stand
With your silvered knives
Cut deep
Give me room to bleed
Are we silver now?
I can't see anything today
I can't see anything today

Beyond the Veil

Am I alone? Another stream of guilty conscience
Will you return? And point the finger at me this time
My sins may own a special place in this square of heaven
Beyond the border of the clouds a demon awaits in the sky
Was I afraid? I’d rather think that I was cautious
Impossibilities again appear to entangle me
Say what you will but I at least think that I was honest
A blessing in disguise, I look for pain to set me free
This is the end of disintegration
Too many witness to our association
This is the end of intoxication
No more pretending, it’s time to cut and run
This city burns against the banner of cold stagnation
The water ran with blood so long ago but we never learned
Now turn away, we’ve long known there’s no reason
And no use saving what would never do the same in return
Damage done with shattered stone
Now drag another to atone
The faith and praise you stole from me
Will soon return to set me free
This is the end of disintegration
Too many witness to our association
This is the end of intoxication
No more pretending, it’s time to cut and run
Alone, so far beyond the veil
Break another vow, I don’t want to start over
Free, begin another tale
Look again to the light, but learn to hold the dark closer
