 singing a song in the wind by touch and lost trust;
blade upon blade clanging the swish of empty points

You are more than just family,
You are a necessity of life.
Youve been there for me when i needed you the most.

We have shared so many laughs and smiles.
Even when we...

gentle clouds on the face just to open doors for the rain drops.
My eyes are opened at the wickedness of the thunder towards 
the poor sky only...

Stark silhouetted silent trees, like gravestones mark the ground,
where disquiet souls of long lost men, in mists of death abound.
A silence binds the fearful minds of all who enter here,
and senses scream against the fear...

Major distraction powerful confusion
 innovative woven tapestry 
vivid words non-spoken sensual

I am drowning, drowning in this sea of alcohol where my patience and soul would disjoint,

Because my heart can not tolerate it's low melting and boiling point.

Please, Please just say you can hear me,

Lord grant me the humility to seek only for your love,
To pacity my yearning for the knowledge of above,

Now here's a contest that seems pointless
But, up to a point, I guess it will do.

When people bring me bad news
that always makes me sigh,
Seems the bad out weighs the good

or maybe a rhyme
or some lyrics in 4/4 time
but the...
