Until I Give In

When I was sad
I thought myself trapped for a lifetime
The overly serious presentation of my problems
Felt the need for constant seeking of reassurance
The mind grows tired
Of excuses and boredom

When I was rescued
I felt myself saved for a lifetime
The unusual social withdrawal when I’m in distress
Felt the need to rejoice and shed my guarded behaviors
The soul grows tired
Of pain and loneliness

TBT: In Evidence (1998)

The outerspace of my embrace
Taught me how to love
The full reflection of my face
Knew of the plans above

Untitled fears of twinkle style
Unkind passenger of mankind
I've been called senile
The shadow mastermind

I've Been Here Before

I won’t get around to seeing you again
It’s probably a completely different world
Sometimes the best solution is to let go
And do what you need to survive

Welcome to the end of my life
It’s probably never going to get better from here
Sometimes the best solution is to restart
And do what I need to survive

You know why you need to stay
You’re not done helping in this world
Sometimes the heart has to pay
To save your innocence from hurt

Welcome to the beginning of my life
I’m not done wishing it will get better from here
Sometimes the heart has to pray
To save my innocence from hurt

TBT: Falling Into Infinity (1997)

Falling into infinity
I trap those of death
I reach for my dignity
And dearly hold my breath

I stive to withstand some
Dry roses I like to smell
The forest I seek within
The secrets I can’t tell

Shades of white, deadly night,
And immortality-

Hale

I know I can be happy again one day
I just don’t know how to make it there
The emptiness in my heart drags me
As I desperately try to crawl to nowhere

I know I can heal and be strong one day
I just don’t know how not to fail
The agony in this broken spirit lingers
As I desperately prove that I can prevail

TBT: Un Mot (2005)

Un mot peut commencer une guerre
Un autre peut unir la terre
Tellement de sentiments prennent vie
Avec un seul commentaire
Le jour et la nuit peuvent se soustraire
De l’univers de l’imaginaire
Quand un seul geste peut tout défaire

Un mot peut créer de l’amitié
Un autre peut faire ressortir la vérité
Tellement de pensées prennent vie
Avec une seule idée
Le jour et la nuit peuvent s’annulés
De l’univers du créateur
Quand un seul sourire peut tout arrangé
