The Hole I Have Dug

Slip sliding today
Can’t seem to get away
North Wind is howling 
Dark day is growling

Stare out the window
From behind a desk
A projection of life
Take a deep breath

The hole I have dug
Without lifting a…

No more

A chain of reactions 
From the day you were born
Knocking dominos over
Breaking oaths you have sworn

Don’t pick at the scabs
And open old wounds
Embrace all the scars
It’s never too soon

]No more
Seeds to sew…

Show Me Instead

Stop me from thinking 
What I am thinking
Release me from visions 
That show this ship sinking

Show me instead
A way to the end
Where all the days I have bled
Mean I don't need to pretend

I can't…

How We Began

Can’t seem to shake it
No matter how far we run
The past is much faster
And can’t be undone

The foundation is poured 
A bridge between years
Days, weeks and months
A river raging with fears

Turns on this…

My Wish

What I want for myself 
Is written in our fate
It’s heard in a song
Or the words of a play

Spoken softly in silence
Screamed in the wind
Thought to myself 
As coins fall in the well

My wish…

Lost

Stopped dead in my tracks
There's no going back
I left when I could because I knew that you would

A story of woe
That began when you showed
Unforgivable choices should’ve heeded the voices

Decisions made from deceptions 
And…

Find Me

Find me
In a place I can’t stay
Lure me
To a much better day

Capture me 
In the palm of your hand
Save me
From the pain i can’t stand

Draw me
With the ink from your pen
Frame…

Directions

I hear North
It’s calling
Softly
Almost begging

How much further could I be getting

Turn East
I’m seeing what’s waiting 
Over an ocean of knowing 
It’s baiting

Which direction is worth it
Each one is saying it’s perfect

Can…

Yes No Maybe

Questions remain in this game we have played
Not wanting to lose and no winners are named

Yes 
No 
Maybe
Words on your lips

Spoken with ease as my heart slowly rips

Don’t just say what you think i desire…

Can't Be The End

Is it a simple song about a complex life
Or a complex song that I can't quite write

Do I laugh or cry
I can't decide

I find some pictures from black and white days
I can hear the color…

Fabulous Pages

The stairs we ran down as kids now lead to empty rooms and halls
The paint is dulled where pictures hung
Shades of memories on the walls

It's wood and shingles on a bed of concrete
Like every other house…

Fade To Black

Time is up
No curtain calls
No looking back
Fade to black

Can't believe
Can't carry on
Can't leave it all
Can't right the wrongs

What could have been
What should have been
What would have been
The end begins

Connect the Dots

Dots connect randomly
Steer away from certainty

Tempting with simple paths
Careful roles are neatly cast

Will life lead to satisfied ends
The comfort and leisure you depend

Fate and intent create what's meant
Meaningful moments of a life well…

Brightside

It's time to Stop saying sorry
For the way that I feel
When I get out of bed
For the doubts that I steal
From inside of my head

I've sat and talked
With this Empty room before
Wiped away…

Stop Yelling

Stop yelling at me
Get out of my head
Spinning threads that never seem to end

Don't blame me
Forget what I said
I can't talk a straight line
Or count A to zed

I promised myself
Every time that…

Can You See Me

I'm sitting here
Still

Can you see me

Hollow
Waiting to be filled

The hate that I hear
And violence I fear
Both cause me to shudder

Can you tell me what I need to do
Can I ever get…

Hallowed Love

We can't begin
To count the sins
Of generations long since past

Do we still pay for yesterday
Live in the die they cast

In our lost garden of eden
So many apples we have eaten

All the good undone…

My Heart Burns

I want to learn
Whatever I can
I'm not afraid of the truth
But unsure of the plan

My blood churns
Just below the surface
Giving me strength
And coursing with purpose

My heart burns
It's been so long
My…
