Final Goodbye

The hurt runs deep, pierces through flesh and bone
Heart and spirit have fled, now I'm truly alone
The weight of the world on my shoulders keeps me at a knee
The blistering pain blurs the visions that I do see
Never has alone ever been so quiet and bitter
Warrior throughout life, but now just a quitter
Wanted by none, of use only to the ground
Which waits to greet me, with love that knows no bounds
So that I may rot and finally meet my eternal rest
Just hurts to know that once I was truly blessed
But that time has came and went, just a breath lost in cloud of smoke
The last breath that leaves me as in this silence I choke
But don't shed a tear for me, just know I really did try
Your memories of me will fade away, so this is my final goodbye

The Labyrinth

Feels like a nightmare, my senses are slowly fading
My thoughts are drowning out, the silence is deafening
My mind has become an endless labyrinth, full of twists and turns
Stuck without the blueprint and no ability to return
The maze grows with the deeper recesses I reach
I'm trapped, please send help I beseech
I feel helpless with danger lurking behind every recess
Shadows in the distance shape shift and begin to coalesce
A horn bellows in the distance sending a familiar shiver up my spine
The ground trembles briefly giving way for the path to align
There in the distance, the dark shadow stands ready for war
Steadily approaching with a march that shakes the very floor
A cold gust maneuvers through the maze chilling straight to the bone
I'm frozen dead in my tracks, my limbs turn into stone
I try to cry out for help but I choke on the bitter cold air
For what comes next, even the most tried souls cannot prepare
The shadow grabs me in its clutches and squeezes tight
Its eyes are as black and dead as night
Its claws puncture my lungs, slowly crippling my body and will
The moonlight glistens against its armor as my body lay still
Fear, Doubt, Failure and Death appear as if from nowhere
Engraved deeply as if the soldier has somehow peered into my soul
As the moon fades back into the clouds, the boy says a prayer
Blood spills out from his body as a whole
But with a smile and deep sense of consolation
The maze finally set the boy free and offered salvation
The boy closes his eyes for a while only to awake once more
Standing once again at the entrance of the cursed labyrinth door

Don'T Wake Me Up

If your face only exists in my dreams, don't wake me up
Because the sun doesn't shine if it isn't your smile
The moon doesn't twinkle if not in your eyes
If I'm sleeping just leave me here for a while
Because it's possible, even in your dreams, to be mesmerized
Your touch is like a drug and at night I get my fix
Your eyes have me tumbling into a trance like a ton of bricks
I'm going through withdrawals when I'm awake
Can't distinguish dreams from reality, it's all become so opaque
I have become a slave to my own mind because all it wants is you
And in my dreams is the only place that comes true
I find myself daydreaming and seeing you at random times
It's hard to tell but I think I'm slowly losing my mind
You've become an obsession consuming reality, my personal addiction
But when I'm with you it's bliss, pleasure in its finest depiction
If it's wrong, then nothing on God's green earth has ever felt more right
My will is broken, my mind no longer willing to fight
Although I know you're a figment of my imagination
You're more real to me than all of creation
I've given into the desires of my mind and now am yours to keep
It's time for me to finally wake up, so please just let me sleep

Sun and Stars

They say never stare at the sun, but I can't bare to look away,
Even if it leaves me blind for the rest of my days.
I stare solemnly until the sun explodes on the horizon and dark grows the sky.
Its light dies down but however does not cease.
It's almost as if it cannot bare to say goodbye,
So it spreads itself across the darkness piece by piece.
Stars or so they are called light up the way at night.
They have a way of causing my heart to ignite,
And set it ablaze with a burning desire.
I feel lifted as if my heart is soaring higher.
That is when I feel the warmth of your skin,
And I realize now after all this time where I have been.
I now realize all I have seen does not reside in the sky,
For my sun and stars live in one place and that is in your eyes.

Peace In a Lifetime of War

Looking in the mirror and I don't like who I see anymore.
Bags under my eyes, a sorry shadow of the man before.
Wonder how I got to this point, when was the fuse lit?
At what point did I give up and finally quit?
And have my soul explode, shrepnel piercing my heart.
Wonder if it's too late to try and make a clean start.
Spent more than my fair share of time on these knees of mine.
Stumble to my feet, walking down a fine line,
Between life and death, stuggling to keep straight
My dreams from reality, legs are tumbling from the weight
Of this burden on my shoulders.
Like Sisyphus, eternally punished to push a boulder
Never to reach the summit, destined only to plummet.
Ironic that just like a king, I fell from grace into this hell.
Feel like it's time to bid this cruel world farewell.
Feel the sleightness in my hand, it all becomes clear.
The helplessness has fled, all that's felt is a single tear.
It didn't have to end this way, have to put an end to the gloom.
A flash of bright light followed by a loud boom.
The thud of a lifeless body tumbling to the floor.
Finally an end to the pain, peace in a lifetime of war.

Perpetual Hell

One step forward, two steps back
Breaking point approaching, ready to crack
Nerves of steel, bending from the constant stress
Rust builds, all strength begins to digress
Once a mountain, slowly reduced to a plain
Bombarded by hundreds of years of wind and rain
Once atop the world, astounded by its beauty
Only to fall to the deepest depths, my permanent domain
"Long live the King," rang out into the deepest depths of eternity
Exile is what has become of me, all past deeds in vain
Alone, a bitter cold pierces straight to the bone
Fallen from grace into the pit of the unknown
Lost, wandering the dreaded halls of the dead
Trapped where time stands still, all hope has fled
All that remains is thoughts of words unsaid, deeds undone
Light does not reside here, darkness drowns out the sun
This perpetual hell is what I have grown to call home
Trapped with no way out, wandering endlessly all alone

Amen

I can taste your lips in my thoughts and dreams
Can't escape you anywhere it seems
Your eyes follow me everywhere I go
Penetrating deep down into the pit of my soul
You got me dreaming while I'm awake
Feeling your touch with every step I take
Your smile brightens up everything that I see
This is a whole new world you've created for me
On the thin line where reality ends and fantasy begins
Where the sun breaks through and erases all the dark places I've been
The sound of your voice sets everything in place
My smile breaks its shackles when I come across your face
I find that I often lose myself in your eyes
You're like a drug and I'm soaring high
I've reached the summit and there's no coming down
I can feel my heartbeat again ever since you came around
You're the pep in my step, the sunshine on a cloudy day
You're my motivation and clarity even through all of the fray
I don't know what I did to get so lucky to meet you
But I know that on the day I did, all my dreams came true
Whenever you walk by I whisper a prayer and say Amen
Because you're my reason for feeling human again

Relapse

I look into your eyes and I fall into you.
Wonder if I'm dreaming, is this really true?
Pleasure at it's finest, you're my addiction.
Perfection in its finest depiction.
Constriction, you leave me without breath.
Everything fades far out of existence, I go deaf.
You're my drug, my one and only high.
Impossible for me to ever say goodbye,
But you left me like a thief in the night.
And here I am now falling from the steepest of heights,
Trying to figure out what went wrong as I descend.
Did it mean anything or was it all just pretend?
Life has dealt me a sobering blow.
No longer are we the headliners of the show.
Life has robbed me of my prestige and has left me to rot,
Although time goes on and life gets better as I trot.
But then I see your face and the pain hits instantly,
Like a thousand bricks falling on top of me.
Don't know if this pain will ever leave me,
Relapse, forever a part of my destiny.

Curse of the Gods

The storm has passed and the calm, cool winds are at a steady breeze.
The clouds have cleared and my mind has been set at ease.
The fissures have been covered and fortified,
No longer does the foundation sway at a high gust.
A heart that was once ridden with disease, mortified,
Has undergone a transformation so robust.
To experience a happiness concealed since the dawn of man.
Hidden from the eyes of men for their own safety,
For Heaven would not feel so sweet then.
As mere mortals would finally hold the key to destiny,
The sisters of fate would no longer have any say,
And hope would finally rule at the end of the day.
This happiness lost in the anals of time, hidden for centuries,
I found in your eyes the day you set me free,
And nursed my morbid heart to a speedy recovery.
The curse of the gods broke on the day that I met you,
Where our legend began and the sun finally broke through

Me Against the World

The word on the street is that this will never work,
Spoken in whispers with an evil smirk.
The odds are stacked against us, just the way I like.
Backed against a wall, ready to strike.
Prove to the world that it doesn't have a say,
That every force in the universe could never keep me away.
The ground can crumble, rattle and quake,
But my will is sharp and strong, impossible to break.
It will cut through everything that lies in its wake.
My battle cry will echo through the wind and cause them to shake.
Their will shall break and shatter piece by piece.
With no choice but to offer me my release.
For too long I've been down on my knees,
So here I stand defiant for all eyes to see.
To show that I choose my own fate, my own destiny.
To prove that the world no longer has control of me.
