Nerveless

Share a moment with me
And take a deep breath
Linger where no one can stand
Because everyone’s busy running
You don't need to stop
Just take my hand-
Let me give you the only thing missing
Let me take you where time is free

Try to pay close attention
And close your eyes
Listen where no one is understood
Because everyone's telling you what to do
You don't need to stop
Just make it good-
I like it only because it's coming from you
I like to believe patience is compassion

TBT: Limits Of My Vision (1999)

My vision of reality is dark
Not because it's evil
But because it's empty
It's there to help me reach
The feelings inside of me

My vision of reality is mundane
Not because it's tasteless
But because it's free
It's there to help us think
Of the unlimited possibility

My vision of reality is timeless
Not because it's big
But because it's my home
It's there to help me remember
How much I've grown

The Key Inside

Carry me through infinity
I will lend a hand where I can
I’ll judge you for all the mistakes-
Find the monster inside of you
Get lost in that confusing mind
And your patience will break

Understand me through serenity
I will dance where I can stand
I’ll remember all your devotion-
Find the ocean inside of you
Get lost in that comforting soul
And ignore all the emotions

TBT: Timekeeper (1997)

When time was dirty, I cleaned it
The mistakes rubbing all over my hands
Underneath, destiny was never so soft

When time was bleeding, I healed it
Last minutes running from me
Underneath, patience was never so strong

When time was hungry, I fed it
Empty feelings of misunderstandings
Underneath, hope was never so pure

When time was helpless, I was there
The last time I ever saw it dance
Was when I was in love

Heart's Embrace

Find me in the embrace of your heart
I never cried so hard in my entire life
But it felt good to let it all out
I could feel courage in your heartbeat
When I finally understood what it meant
To know exactly how you think
About the past and the future
How you never really let anything go
Yet you shed the fear and the torture
When I finally understood what it meant
To know exactly how to breathe
I know I only have one more chance
It’s not just how I feel but how I remember

Find me in the embrace of your compassion
I never laughed so hard in my entire life
But it felt good to feel it on the inside
I could feel the truth in your breath
When I finally understand what it meant
To know exactly how to keep my sanity
Without the past nor the future
How quickly I can calm down in your arms
Yet I still feel cold and so unsure
If you hold me just long enough
Maybe I’ll be able to sleep and dream
When I finally understand what it means
To know exactly how to live

TBT: As I See The Wind (1996)

As I see the wind
My mind grows weak,
As though my life
Is what I speak

But I can’t feel
The downward heat
As my legs pull me,
I walk my mind
It’s what dies that falls
Like shining light
Loving fright,
And immortality

As I feel the shadows
I reach as before
I live for my purpose
And that’s loving you more…

Find Your Way

I found my name
In a cave of darkness-
In despair,
You find the purest hope
But making my way back
Was going to be dangerous,
When everything is anger and black

I found my voice
In a valley of fog-
In obscurity,
You find the purest faith
But trying to run away
Was going to be unpredictable,
When everything is sadness and grey

TBT: Pleasance (2004)

I was wondering what God
Would say to me
If I asked him why
Children were so content-

With such devotion
I had looked for answers
Within my memories
Within my heart
But found none
That could be clever-

So I scanned the skies
And out loud I cried
God, give me a vision-

And in my thoughts
Came my resolve-

Children spend their time
Looking for joy-

Not for heaven

Dedicated to Emily Dickinson
