You are the hurricane that has taken so much from my life.
I got caught in the eye of your storm
Watching defenselessly as you
Uprooted my dream,
Washed away my foundation,
Forced down the walls of progress I built,
And flooded my soul.
Once I recovered,
Building new safeguards and a secure surrounding,
Pouring a new foundation,
Planting new dreams,
You tear back through my life
Again
Leaving more destruction and desolation in your wake.

Warm beams through cool branches
absorbed by a red checked picnic blanket
You fresh from a shower
your summer dress cotton and optimistic
thick clouds castle on the horizon
Fully you today
propagating warmth and humor
being, you see me clearly
embers ablaze
Your perception moves into me
I too am the rapture you are beaming
it makes me expand
safe enough to stretch at an increasing rate
Into the miraculous world
I taste it, without thought
If I knew I would only live on that day
I would have grappled for every breathe
battled for every drop
but instead I was destined to
chase it like a dragon
throughout the cosmos
fixing, flailing,and
inevitably failing
unconscious to the tale
No day satisfies
depression weighs my soggy spirit
others remind me of what I missed
Your frivolous obliteration
of the life that laid before me
You had no right to hold me up to the world
hands tied, defenselessly naked
to be pummeled degraded and used
until the end of my unfinished days
I am not redemption’s son

Here she comes
Walking down the road
To a machine gun refinery
Where she just won't know
Where she's going
Down the path of pestilence
Or on the wings of resilience
"Lord I just don't know
Where I'm going"
Knocking on the door
Shoot to thrill screams
More more more
And she just don't know
If she can take it anymore
Should she keep knocking on the door
Or should she lay down her sword
"Lord I just don't know
Where I'm going"
When the sun rises tomorrow
I'll be drowning in my sorrow
Yet again I've killed a man
Defenselessly at that
Born and buried in a sea
That just becomes our memories
That we will never get to see
Because of our selfishness
Watch me closing in on death
Violins
Playing in my mind
Relentlessly at that
I guess it's my turn at bat
To finally see what I am
What I've become is not a man
Oh violins
Take me away
I'm a monster anyways

I'm a puppet on strings; forced to perform.
I'm a rose without beauty, stripped of my thorns.
Nothing compares to the aching pain.
Of being left out in the rain.
I feel broken and frozen, taken away.
Lean and weak, my ends start to fray.
Slowly, I watch the colors fade.
Because I am lost in a sea of gray.
I'm an outsider, waiting, for someone to notice me.
I'm a poor man, pacing, pleaing you spare me.
Because flying is impossible with clipped wings.
And speaking out doesn't work when you're too weak to sing.
I feel broken and frozen, taken away.
Lean and weak, my ends start to fray.
Slowly, I watch the colors fade.
Because I am lost in a sea of gray.
I've sunken to my knees and I call out helplessly
The water's rising in this sea.
A full moon glares down at me.
I'm trapped out here defenselessly.
