Vessel

If likes and wishes
Were nothing but fishes
I’d say there’s plenty
To be found in the sea

But never should I wonder
If that looks like a flounder
Because I’ve found nothing
But busted boots from fishing!

TBT: My Human Affairs (The Ones We Forget) (1998)

The lessons have been broken
To useful pieces of wisdom
To be subject of acquired experience
We often call divine

One of them called me
Lest that I would miss
My chance for a better faith
I often leave behind

Missing Thoughts

Am I overthinking this?
I tried to think about escape
The freedom of my despair
How did I even get this far?

Am I misinterpreting this?
I tried to love just as much
The activation of my nightmare
How do I heal this scar?

TBT: NightBlood (2004)

Why can people be so innocent
To believe they are nothing more
Than the sum of their memories
They forget that a second in time
A little sunshine in the night
Will give them reason to fight
There's no reason to live in fright
Every time they have a chance to win
They take the path that leads them
To the darker side of faith
Believing it will make them stronger
That they'll never have to cry again
When they can’t speak, can’t think
And they wonder why they stink
They don’t understand it only takes
A second in time to realize
You can kill me forever
You can give me death
But I will never let you
Extinguish the light in my soul.

I can do that myself.

So Many Songs

I wonder why
That song
Brings back
So many emotions
A familiar song
That brings back
No specific memories
There were already
So many songs
Stuck in my head
But on this day
I just had to listen
To this one instead

TBT: I Believe I Can (2000)

I walk the path
To the secret life
I try to see
In my destiny

I see the wrath
To the sacred song
I try to sing
Inside of me

But to the eyes
But to the nothing
But for the blindness
I am free

Like this emotion
I believe I can
I believe I can win

Like this salvation
I believe I can
I believe I can win

Rioulette

Try to beat the odds
Forever be the winner in death
There will be many more audiences
With she that calls herself God!

Try to not get caught
Forever be waiting for a fresh chance
There will be many more accidents
With she that calls herself Moobot!

TBT: Thrill (2008)

Raise your eyes to the sky
See the light from up above
I saw your hand reach out for me
And felt a touch of love

Catch a trip around the world
And tell me what you see
I saw hands pray for answers
And felt a touch of pity

Find a word that means true
Watch as it creates a tear
I saw how it gave you chills
And felt a touch of fear
