A mine lay there in the land,
Near the beach and it's sand,
An empty lonely little mine,
Where the stone has lost it's shine,
Metals gone, taken away,
But the lonely mine is left to stay,
So bland now it's jewels are gone,
Just a dirty rock they once lay upon,
The shafts still there, an open wound,
In the darkness it's cocooned,
The lights have all been burnt out,
An empty hole, an echoed shout,
Memories of banging picks,
And onwards the clock of time ticks,
A broken empty little mine,
The ceilings that collapse in a line,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A swell that grows upon the sea,
A horse that runs so wild and free,
A wave that spits it's foamy spray,
The horse lets out a cheerful neigh,
It splashed along the water's tide,
As all the waves start to collide,
A broken wave smashes and gallops,
Upon the sea bed stirring up scallops,
It runs and runs till the sea is behind,
And the waves that gallop are intertwined,
But every wave that hits the beach,
Still it is never quite within reach,
Then it's dragged back by it's legs,
As t continues to struggle and begs,
So it's snatching and snapping at all the toes,
But it gets nothing for the effort it shows,
Soon it is washed back cold and alone,
Back into the sea the horse is thrown.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sun is bright and shining down,
Lighting up the entire town,
Sand is hot below the feet,
Laying there like a golden sheet,
Sea lapping against the shore,
Letting out a silent roar,
The sea is cold and tastes of salt,
Ice cream's a fresh dripping fault,
In the sand a castle lay,
Collapses much to her dismay,
Upset children clamber round,
Letting out a moping sound,
Splashes heard from here and there,
An angry shout of 'That's not fair!'
A dripping child stomping off,
And then lets out a quiet cough,
The day is young and very bright,
It's still fine despite the fight,
Jumping over ocean waves,
Exploring gloomy and dark caves,
A day at the beach, a day of fun,
To let the kids run wild and get some sun.

Laughing in his wicked glee,
Like black waves lapping thickly,
Voice as brittle as a cracking tree,
Staring back at me,
Inside my head, hes what I see...
Eyes are yellow, eyes are blue,
Haunting shadows, creeping through,
Irises sharp as a waning moon,
Old and new,
Always does what he shouldnt do...
Laughs at scorn, plays with fear
Sometimes far, sometimes near,
Sometimes he I cannot hear,
Should he appear,
He flickers like light from a chandelier...
Driving past in scarlet flames,
Mysterious, has no last name,
Smiles at reproach, feels no shame,
Far from tame,
Cant help but feel hes not the same...
Hear him cackling in my head,
You cant chase me out, is what he said,
Tiger-stripes of the color red,
All but soul-dead,
The monster that hides beneath my bed...
My haunting never has an end,
Yet sometimes he is my only friend,
A mistake that I make but never mend,
For him I send,
Is he trapped in my head, or am I the one whos penned?
I feel his presence in my mind,
Grinning at me from just behind,
A creature of the rarest kind,
Id tell you more,
But nevermind...
Catpin of the Ace of Spades
From the smallest mistake Ive always made,
My sanity has been taken by raid
He, who Ive not yet forbade,
He always comes, but never stays...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And she turns on all the lights
To chase away the ghouls inside
And she has a falling out
Turns her body inside out
And while her tears are pouring down
She hopes hell come back if she cries
Loves him to the day she dies
But shes really not his kind
Hes just a shadow in her mind
His laughters a beloved sound
She hears it swelling all around
She feels the tendrils being wound
Very soon she will be bound
But she embraces all her strife
And she believes his every lie
He says, Baby, its all right,
And yet she knows the end is nigh
So she scrambles on her own
Withering to skin and bone
She knows shes running out of time
She doesnt want to be alone
So she fulfills his every prayer
Hoping hell return her care
Fading in his wicked stare
She feels her soul being corralled,
And then her heart is turned to stone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ill try not to be too wordy:
For twenty years you have survived,
Now, my friend, youre turning thirty
As your birthday has arrived.
In this life that you are living,
You deserve a day of rest,
Take these words that I am giving
We all would like to wish you best.
You should live for years aplenty,
A brand new era has begun
Nevermore will you be twenty
Soon, you will be thirty-one.

Felix the Lost Boy loved Pan,
Who had viciously murdered a crayon,
But he kept it hush-hush
So appease his first crush,
In hopes of becoming Best Man.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felix was once a Lost Boy,
Who was Peter Pan's personal toy,
Till his pure heart was crushed,
And his last breath was hushed,
He gifted his fan girls with joy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felix has got in a feud,
But because hes so wonderfully shrewd,
As his brilliance shows,
He conquers his foes,
Leaving the crowd in good mood!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felix believed Pans life mattered,
But his wish was maliciously shattered
For there as he died,
Cruel Peter Pan cried:
Dont be scared Felix, be flattered!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter Pan was really quite evil,
And was once referred to as a devil,
But, trapped with the ghouls
In the River of Souls,
No more will victims he bedevil.

It was I who stood watch as you climbed up lifes summit,
Did my hand not to sway you from departing from it?
Did the light from my eyes not illuminate your path?
Did this tattered cloak shield you from our dying worlds wrath?
Did my shadow not shade you from the heat of midday?
Did I insist upon staying when you begged me not stay?
Did my words not to sooth you when life was not fair?
Should I have held you tighter as you cried in my hair?
Was my voice not the tune to inspire your song?
I have this recollectionis it so that Im wrong?
Im not pulling your heartstringsits to this world theyre tied,
Did I not give up everything? Can you say Ive not tried?
Can you blame me for trouble? Why do you bid me go?
How has your dearest friend become an enigmatic foe?
Have I worn out my novelty? Is this how you treat a friend?
You claim Id not stand side you, yet Id stand to the end!
Why do you let them ward you away from me now?
To this I demand whyno, the question is how?!
How could you just discard me like an old, worn-out tool?!
...did you ever feel differently, or was I just a fool?

Dear friend from everywhere, Im writing to you once again,
I see you hiding in the ink that flows out from my pen,
The form of letters in the handwriting I recognize,
I cross my fingers as I cross my ts and dot my Is
Ive seen you in my dreams, Ive heard your voice inside my head,
It never occurred to me before to write down what you said,
Nor will I write it here, your words have turned to mystery
Sometimes I wish I could drown out your silent whispering,
I told you many things, but all of itirrelevant,
Who really cares about cheap tourist traps and elephants?
The things inside my head are what you really care to hear,
I thought of nothing less when in my life you did appear,
You were the first inside, you had a claim before the rest,
And out of all of them, you may have been the very best,
And yet, though you are now as quickly fading as a dream,
Ive never really missed you, and treat you just as what you seem--
A though, a character, a fragment of imagination,
Some silent company, whose silence was an aggravation,
I thought you might come back, but now, it seems, my notes diminish,
I havent written in so long, I think its time I finish,
So as begins to dry the thread of ink come from my pen,
My friend from everywhere, Im writing to you once again.

"Broken Heart, Broken Mind"
Sound alarms, rush through the door
You aren't winning anymore.
Away you wave your shattered dreams.
Life is tearing at the seams and
You can't do a single thing
But soar away on your clipped wings
And pray that villains get happy endings.
But we all know it isn't true. A peaceful life is not for you
For all you want is glory,
A satisfying story,
And maybe a poem and a bronze statue.
But these things will never come.
You can't hide from the things you're running from and
As your mind falls into a hundred pieces you find that your thesis
Was flawed.
And now you're cursed by an enemy's god,
Two worlds and two gods
And you've nowhere to turn but an army of demons,
Skeletons with a vice grip on your throat
It's too late for her
She's gone with "she's a traitor sir"
And there is nothing you can give to get her back,
Lost to a misguided attack,
The one thing you loved is the one thing you lack.
Broken heart, broken mind.
A reason for winning this war.
You swore that you'd never love anymore,
And yet there is someone you'd give your life for in a second.
Not a moments hesitation.
Just to feel the sensation of love, and not being alone
Because you are so, so lonely.
You love her, she is your only.
You don't know why she loves--loved you and I guess you never will,
A last remark as the one final kill,
And you're lost again, swimming in the sea of confusion
Can't be real, can't be her, it must be an illusion
A perverse parlor trick
Snuff the light, clip the wick,
Because your heart won't be burning with love after this you feel sick.
Nauseated.
One smile, one kiss, and this love was created,
A stab in the back with a knife that's serrated,
Just one motion and again you are cast in the ocean
And you can't swim. You don't want to
Sinking down, into the deep blue where they can't see you.
Because you must never let them see you
Steal your heart like the love that deceived you
Never again will you let down your shields to
Let someone heal you.
Broken heart, broken mind.

(come betrayal or)
So long stranger,
Strangers never make it here
Where everything you see is fear
The rain lays down its acid tears
As long as you will be my dear
You may live in torture here
Come along darling,
You just dont seem to get it
If you want more youd best forget it
Leave it be or youll regret it
You just dont get why I said it
If it tries to leave you
Let it
(come betrayal or)
Girl youve made a mistake
Do you know what youve put at stake
You would crack before you half break
You dont know a thing about me
Im a trial of creation
Im the light at separation
When you feel this tribulation
Youll be gone by Revelation
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COME IN WITH THE TIDE
Why dont you
Just stab me in the heart
Just put a knife inside me and
Rip my soul apart
Ill let you try it
Why dont you buy it?
Im a maniac for hire
Dancing through the fire
Dont you want to try?
Im a criminal-to-be
Take a good look at me
Ill see you then tonight
Oh I, I, I
I built myself a web of lies
Living behind a dark disguise
Did you know the demons in your mind
Are mine?
Why dont we
Go running through the woods
Well run until we fall down and well
Laugh like families should
Well start a riot
Whyare yousoquiet?
Im a slave and so are you
I just dont have a clue
We will never die
Now were swimming in the night
The colors of the light
Will come in with the tide
Oh I
Will wave my banner high
Today until I die
I have no soul
My heart is cold
My mind is frozen sub-zero
I have to sing
You are a king
And yet you are still just my baby
Why dont you
Just stab me in the heart
Just put a knife inside me and
Rip my soul apart oh
Why dont we
Go running through the woods
Well run until we fall down and well
Laugh like families should
Well start a riot
Whyare yousoquiet?

GOOD OL' DAYS (Circus Stiltsman)
I am the circus stiltsman
Climbin high, and swingin
I am the circus stiltsman,
Cause he alone would talk to me.
When I was tired, and so afraid,
He would come and he would say,
Im the circus stiltsman,
And you can talk to me.
I was young, and I was brave,
Way back in the good ol days
When we would sing and sing and sing
Dance, until we fell
On fallow ground we fell
But my secrets, hed not tell.
Yes, Id tell him secrets no one knows,
While he would dance on wooden toes
If he could fly, hed bring me there,
And we would sing
Wed sing of times, long ago
Wed sing of secrets no one knows,
Wed laugh and play,
And I would say,
Im gonna be the stiltsman.
I said, Im gonna be the stiltsman.
Now Im just a mindless slave,
Dreamin of the good ol days
When I would dance and I would sing,
Im a-gonna be the stiltsman.
Now Im just a mindless slave,
Drinkin for the good ol days,
When friends were free
And blind could see
And a dime was just a fortune-to-be
Oh dreamin of the good ol days,
When sun shined down its good ol rays
And I would laugh, and I would say:
Im gonna be the stiltsman.
I said, Im gonna be the stiltsman.

"Sky on the Sea"
The laugh of a dragon
And the tongue of a snake
On an alien vessel
Leaving death in his wake
Like a star in the sky
We want to offer redemption
But demons dont cry.
Imagine an ocean
With black waves, and shining lights
Just a ship sailing over each wave--thats your life
Trade love for your loved ones
And you did it for me
Out here in the darkness, the sky on the sea.
You cant shake the feeling
That it wont be alright
Sailing this ocean
Where it always is night
I cant tell a lie
As the moon said to sun, Ill keep watch of you tonight
And demons dont cry
Imagine an mountain
Pasted against the sky
Just another high hill is the loss of a life.
Trade love for your loved ones
And you did it for me
Out here in the darkness, the sky on the sea.

I,
I dont want to feel like
The inside of a diamond
Glowing like a marvel, but trapped to a wall
Worth less than a penny
But sought by so many
It feels like a horror to be.
I,
I dont want to feel like
The sun on the horizon
A beautiful clash of yellow on blue
Id look picture-perfect
But life isnt worth it
To always wake up the same thing
I,
I dont want to feel like
An intricate flower
Alone in a field of chaos and war
If someone might see me
I could die believing
But never quite knowing what my life was for. |
