TBT: Glitch (2011)

I want to be inside-
That place where happiness hides
Where fun is the only law
And being tired is the only flaw

I want to be a residue-
Giants never forgot about you
They send you little specks of love
And sometimes a rainbow from up above

I want to be a glitch-
Where a rock makes a sales pitch
Of tending to chickens and butterflies
Until that next refreshing sunrise

Reality Bites

I wake up
Every morning
Wondering
What’s going to hurt today

I hope for peace
I will try to create

Always underestimating
My strength

Happiness hides-
And I run away


I wake up
Every morning
From nightmares
That are black

The bad
I will learn to cope with

Never underestimating
My opponent

Reality bites-
But I bite back

TBT: Except In Time (1999)

No one moves
Inside my mind
No thoughts exist
Except in time

The rough edges
Of my soul
Convert my speech
Into sand

Power to my freedom
You help me breathe
Moments that I've lost
You help me live

The rough times
Of my past
Convert my energy
Into love

Never Miss

It’s always yesterday forever
Awaken the demon to fight it today
You should know its weakness by now
You let it sleep by your side all this time
Why did you build a fortress around it
When it’s right beside you, waiting

It’s always tomorrow forever
Embrace the angel to heal it today
You should know it’s tired by now
You let it sleep by your side for some time
Why did you build doubt around it
When it’s right about you, forgiving

It’s always today forever
Empower the heavens to feed the moment
You should know it never misses by now
You let it sleep by your side one too many times
Why did you build memories around it
When it’s right in front of you, reflecting

TBT: LifeBlood (1998)

The two roads to immortality
Takes me to a trip beyond the skies
Brings a door around the back alley
Where darkness kills the eyes

A generation of imported sins
Powerful web of an overmastering mind
Speechless preconization
Brings a quixotic shine

And where the sea pounds the earth
A second in time, a shine in night
Kill me forever, give me death
I will be reborn to violent light

Show Me Your Crown

What is this all leading to?
I never made any promises to you
In my hands you put a grain of fate
Don’t tell me now it’s too late

Do you think I’m going to change my mind?
I never thought I’d go against my kind
In my heart you put the fear of war
Don’t tell me now you want more

Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?
I never loved so much of what I hated
In my soul you put evolving battlefields
Don’t tell me you never expected casualties

TBT: Thunderclap (2014)

I can feel humanity
Duel of the sinners
The dance that never ends
My thoughts explode outside
Broken ambitions that are never ideal
Broken hearts that never heal

I can breathe peace
Judgement of the souls
The trance that never ends
My decision implies control
Broken dreams that will never grieve
Broken spirits that never breathe

Say The Words Of Fire

I don’t have a lot of time left to fix it
He never said he was a good man
Kept a silly secret in his head
There’s an even more sinister nightmare
Hiding in the dark closet
Feasting on the clever minds of sweethearts
Who die with a smile on their lips
Say the words of fire, make it all burn
No second guessing, he was a good man-
Not anymore...

I don’t have a lot of time left to heal it
She never said she was a perfect woman
Kept a silly secret under her bed
There’s an even more unusual plea
Hiding in the loneliest heart
Feasting on the clever sins of bastards
Who steal kisses with their lips
Say the words of fire, make it all burn
No second guessing, she was a perfect woman-
Not anymore...

TBT: Make Me Hope (2006)

When your past
Holds so many mistakes
It's easy to lose sight
To lose hope
That there is a chance
That anything you do
Has any meaning
In the future
When you think about
What's in front
There's always something
Holding you back
It's just easier
To forget than regret
It's easy to lose sight
To lose hope
When your past
Holds so many mistakes

When your world
Holds so many wonders
It's easy to wonder
To try to understand
Why there is a chance
That anything you do
Has any hope
Of changing the future
When you think about
What's beautiful
There's always something
Holding you back
It's just easier
To look away than cry
It's easy to wonder
To try to understand
When your world
Holds so many wonders
