Lucent Sun

Her beauty is my gloriously lucent sun
Shining its brilliance upon this dark and lonely world
Guiding my way through the dark aftermath of what was to become
Such elegance and tranquility that became chaos and destruction
Radiance in full view, giving its power to the eons beyond
The eternal essence of struggle and determination
Born from the insane, supreme power of our worldly oppressors
Raping us, holding us down, making us do as they please
The icy grip of the iron fist clenches my throat
Crush my spine and gouge my eyes
I will never bow down to lies
For I have my sun to birth my dawn
Quench my illogical hunger for love and peace
Oh, star, up there so very high
Like a diamond in the empty, black sky
Sparkle away, you giver of hope
Forever I am gratuitous to you
Grasp me now, before I melt my waxy wings

She Dines Well Tonight

I can see the edges begin to blur
Feel the winds of change begin to blow
The paper that built this love begins to burn
Devouring my mind-set just so
The inferno roars to life in this self-made hole
Trapping me like a rat in a cage
With such vigor, she ripped out my soul
Burning with evil, fueled by rage
She dines well tonight
She killed well tonight

Ghosts Walk These Streets

She stands on distant shores
Millions of miles from me
Her hands woven in yours
Visions killing me
Her kisses meeting yours
I am dying tonight
Ghosts walk these streets
I am forever out of sight
Memories haunt every inch
Former love now dead and gone
I will always miss you
I will always love you
I am always in debt
Ghosts walk these streets

Last Minute Salvation

I'm seeing things that aren't real
And feeling feelings that I don't feel
I'm knee-deep in despair
Only hanging on by a hair
Closer and closer I am pulled to the edge
Digging my nails deep in on the ledge
If I fall, will you catch me?
If I die, will you remember me?
If I should never return to your arms
Would you survive without harm?
I'm calling out your name in desperation
Save me from this emanate situation
I feel like I'm free falling in this hole
Circling around, trying to save my soul
I'm in dire need of renegotiation
Will you be my last minute salvation?

Liars And Deceivers

Don't you just love the liars?
Don't you just admire the deceivers?
With their words so delicious
And their promises your desire
Fixating on your weaknesses
Adjusting your emotions to their liking
You can feel the dial just turning
Feel the feeling of eternal yearning
They love you so much and so dear
Yet they're too distant to be near
Lose the ability to find distinction
Blind your mind's eye for fictitious dreaming
Whatever the plan, whatever the scheme
They all crave your blood just the same

Change And Reform

I would like to present to you
Reform in the taste of afternoon kisses
A new world so opportune
Gently placed on your soft lips
Scare away all the bogies of your past
Don't be sad because you are alone
I'll catch you while you're falling fast
In my arms, you will feel at home
Just give me a chance and I will show you
That love is not just tales in a book

Walk (Instead Of Run)

I feel like I have changed my ways
You probably won't believe this rhyme
Maybe you will see someday
You will see in due time
I used to feel alone and afraid
I used to run and hide from the dark
Now I can see the light of day
I am sorry for words so stark
Maybe we can smile as bright as the sun
Maybe we can walk instead of run

Obsolete

Can you feel the walls closing in?
Did you set the world on fire?
This safe insincere feeling
You have never let it tire
Why do you hide your treasure?
How do you seem to manage?
Your secret, evil pleasure
People always taking advantage
Forever we will feel so obsolete
Because of memories we just can't delete

Final Try

Why am I never enough?
Why can't I just be the one
Where is my strength?
I feel so deaf and dumb
When will be my time?
There will be no smile
With this broken heart of mine
Is this all worth while?
Maybe this is my chance to shine
Maybe this is my one final try

Thousands Of Miles (Always And Forever)

I was thinking back
To a time far away
When the trees would revive
And the flowers would bloom
Every tree wilts
And every blossom dies
When those winter winds blow
And then falls the snow
I just need to remember that
Spring is never far away

I was trapped in thought
A whirlwind of confusion
I ignored your feelings
And pushed you away
You gave me the world
And I sold it all
Forever I am in gratitude
To your strange attitude
The wind may blow
And the rain may fall
But I am your shelter
Always and forever

To you, I will give
A warm comatose feeling
Your heart will beat again
As soon as you forget I lived
My place in this world
Will be unheard
And I am sore of the outcome
Of this great adventure
It's too late to say goodbye
I am thousands of miles away
I will be in your heart
But we're thousands of miles apart

Should Have Known You

I should have known you
You could have known me.. better
I should have seen it
You should have needed me.. baby
I wish I could breathe
You wish you were free.. of me
I wish I was perfect
You should have loved me too.. oh yeah

Yesterday and tomorrow
Are just a cover-up.. for you
I don't know what you are doing
You never knew what I was thinking.. baby
I never could trust you
You never could trust me.. it's even
Thunderstorms and bad weather
Prevented me from being my self.. oh yeah

I don't care what you think of me
You don't care what I think of you.. that's true
If it ends like this
Then this is just fine.. baby
I don't want to waste my time
You don't want anything of mine.. ever
I hope you like the outcome
You hope you can get you some.. have fun
Have fun, have fun, have fun.. oh yeah

We Died Today

What happened to the happy days
Adventuring hearts and puppy dog eyes
Why did all the love burn away?
Did we run too fast or walk too slow?
Forever I will regret my negative activities
This is one thing that we will never survive
If the world runs on love, then the fuel is running dry
When it first began I could hear your voice every second
Now it sounds quiet in the distant echo
How I miss those days
We died today
Empty sounds in a quiet room
This is where we used to live
How vacant and lonely it is today
Former posters and love notes tacked on the walls
This residence is vacant and up for sale
I sit in the dark pouring over our letters
“I miss you”, “I love you”, “I want to marry you”
Vane and vile are these phrases to me now
How I miss those days
We died today

Sonnet #4

Oh lovely sea, how vast thy stretch
Currents that sweep away the mightiest vessel
Of course, thou hast wicked storms wretched
Devour all mine towns and cities well
Visions of hope and fortune lie in waste
Once mighty metropolises reduced to splinters
Visions of the destruction revealed at daybreak
Just like the most beautiful women, deadly yet astounding
Just like all the evilest of men, happy yet confounding

Sonnet #3

She is a light that shines bright
Forever guiding my way
She is the dream of dreams
A smile always on her face
She is the temptation of many
Only am I to not be rejected
She is the song in the wind
My ears are privileged
Oh how lucky I am
Oh how I’ll never look again

Memories All Around You

I've got the distinctive feeling of something vague
The tension in this room is about to break
Thoughts are clouded and a little foggy
Stains on the carpet made by overturned coffee
Memories fill every inch of this place
Laughter and cursing and love being made
Such parallels make life really worth living
If it weren't for the negatives
Nothing could be positive
Bruises and battle scars
Dot this hardwood floor
Would you really live without me?
Knowing all of this was surrounding?
And yet, I still love you today
I can't help but think of you every day

These Walls

These prison walls are beginning to feel like home
These bars are starting to resemble freedom
If I could only escape to the other side
Maybe I could discover something I can't find
The whistling wind comes between the blocks
Telling tales of the outside world and what it hides
I have been locked away for being innocent
Having nothing to tell is a crime itself
If I don't make it out alive
Give all my possession to a girl I used to know
Hair galloping in the wind so slow
Eye blue as sapphires in the sunshine
Kisses softer than the most delicate flower
If only I could claw my way out
Maybe so but I have a ton of doubt
I will get out of here alive

The Midnight Rising Sun

The water's rising and breaching the shore
The wind is roaring like never before
Houses are drifting like paper boats
Towns are sunk and bodies float
The morning sun wakes to total destruction
Began by the Almighty's instruction
Arsonists' burns are blazing a path
Set by the one's who climb through the aftermath
It's a sad day when angels fall
Ruined by the sky, the sun burned them all
Whispers in the wind tell a different tale
All of them broke on through to watery hell
Millions of gallon ten stories tall
The moon rises like the midnight rising sun
It reveals to us all the ignorance of the young
The raging waters cannot wash away the stain
Tears shed by the innocent turns into a bloody rain
What will happen to them on when judgment comes
Will they stand or will they run?

Mel Torment

A bird takes flight between the trees
Gliding through the air ever so free
In the desert none will fly
Vultures watch with one open eye
No one dares venture here
No one dares come near
The thunder claps but there's no rain
Lightning strikes but there's no pain
Who are we but sand in the wind
Just another saint amongst sin
Snakes slithered across the barren floor
Going to nowhere and nothing more
Dying of thirst I crave relief
The sand burns my the soles of my feet
Another false hope lies in wait
Another oasis glistens fake
My name is Mel Torment
I am the tongue of the snake
I am the poison in the fangs
I am the one who never waits
A drunken man staggers to his feet
Feels the ground shake beneath
Hellfire rises from the sand
Consumes all of the land
What will become of this man
This drunken man in this sober land?
He will sail on into the eastern sky
Blaze a trail up on high
Who he is no one knows
Rumors has to be told
His name is Mel Torment
His time was well spent
Now it is time to sail away
Now it is time to run away
Free is he up in the clouds
Higher than the strongest doubt
Laugh away without a care
Start a fire with angel hair
A bullet strikes from out of sight
Between the eyes and ends his plight
Now that it's all over
Maybe we can die older
If Mel was never born
This story would never be more
Just another made up fantasy
When it is completely reality

In The Future

I have been dreaming
Of a man scheming
His shadows I slowly pass
Every doorway he waits
In this long hallway
But I will not quit
I will not let you leave

I am seeing visions of the future
And in the future is me and you
I can hear the echoes off the mountains
In these echoes I hear me and you

He laughs in my face
He calls me a disgrace
I can only imagine
Of him winning
That is as close as he will come
To taking you away from me

I am seeing visions of the future
And in the future is me and you
I can hear the echoes off the mountains
In these echoes I hear me and you
