I still remain cautious
I’ve talked with the dead
I listened and learned to all that was said
They spoke about horrors
About the things they had done
Flying like Icarus into the sun
I wasn’t judgmental
I let them speak their peace
I just stood there while gazing
Watching their demons release
Into the cosmos
Beget or be gone
Nurture your offspring
Don’t string them along
And your prayers will be answered
Your voice will be heard
Then you can fly like an angel
With wings like a bird

Let’s bring peace into the world in which we live in
Hate just causes more hate amongst us all
No more bickering and forgetting all your morals
Or like Domino’s, each one of us will fall
Blink your eyes in the morning when you’ve woken
Feel the warmth that’s hidden deep inside
Do not pass your judgment on to others
Instead, follow the instructions of your guide

Cast aside your worries ‘till they’re weightless
Do not breathe life into all the things that die
Some things can only scratch the surface
So spread your wings and teach yourself to fly
Lift your head so that we may see your smile
I’ve been blinded by the twinkle in your eye
Cast aside your worries ‘till they’re weightless
Then open your eyes that are bluer than the sky

When the phone rang, I didn’t answer
It was because I had nothing to say
I didn’t want questions
Or nice conversation
I just wanted to be left by the way
To be put aside like a book
Are you a pawn or a rook?
Do you steal hearts like an infamous crook?
Do you get jealous?
Sometimes overzealous
Or are you just hoping that someone will look?
I’ve got good vision
I’ve been sent on a mission
I’ll slay the red dragon today
I’ve been given my rations
I’m filled up with passion
And I’m not even the least bit afraid

The shadow at night
Hides it’s own plight
Through reflections of oncoming lights
It’s never too far
It’s always quite near
And it’s harmless  
So never fear
It matches your movements
Step after step
You can try to avoid it
But it will intercept
So always remember
Never forget
Your shadow knows
Where your secrets are kept

I lay down to sleep
But I’m still awake
The clock keeps on ticking
Despite what’s at stake
My eyelids stay open
As the minutes, they pass
Lying awake with thoughts of the past
The moon fades away
And the sun starts to rise
Now all that I’m feeling
Are tears in my eyes
I never found dreamland
Oh, what a surprise
I must carry this burden
That I’ve come to despise
I tried to focus, I tried to count sheep
But I’m stifled and stirred
Still, I can’t fall asleep
I’m encompassed by darkness
Yet I can’t sleep a wink
I just ponder solutions
Until I’m brought to the brink
To the brink of destruction
Until I get some rest
And I fall into slumber
My mission, my quest

If I could make one dream come true
All my moments would be spent with you
The sun would rise and set at dusk
As we confide in who we trust
With words and actions that we hold so dear
The rain would come, then disappear
Back in the clouds up in the sky
Cover overhead to keep us dry
There’s that twinkle in your eyes
That keeps me humble, kind, and wise
