Unforgiving City

I was betrayed in a fit of rage
Never expected that from a friend
I thought I could count on their loyalty
Until the very bitter end

I was dishonored and ridiculed
Forced to face my true personality
Discover who were my real friends
And find my way back to reality

I was lost in the unforgiving city
Wet and needing of sleep
Trying to process what happened
Cold, trembling and weak

The Trip

When the Perpetual Motion Machine finally began to slow down, two amazing things happened. I realized that I was wrong and I realized there was still a chance to save her.

Two years ago my wife and I were flying through a nebula. Sensors didn’t indicate anything harmful scanning it at a distance. A few minutes after entering, something interacted with our engines and put them offline. I spent two days in the engine room trying to figure out what the filters may have missed while my wife was continuously trying to reach anyone that may be within hailing frequencies. If I didn’t fix the ship soon we weren’t going to have enough fuel and energy reserves to make the trip back home.

I Barely Knew

I barely knew my father. By the time I was 4 years old he left my mom and I. As I got old enough to understand what that meant I hadn’t seen him in 3 years. At first my mom made different excuses- your father is moving away for his job, we don’t love each other anymore, we’ll be living in different houses- the usual stuff. When I was a preteen I coaxed my mother into telling me the truth and she finally told me he was an alcoholic. She told him to choose us or the bottle – he chose the drink.

TBT: Flame And Fire (2008)

Hopeful joy found in my soul
Share some satisfaction, make me whole
Come forth to me and my appreciation
I will find destiny and admiration

Comforting warmth in my heart
Speak one word, make me start
Come forth to me and my temptation
I will fill you with lust and sensations

Forbidden passion in my dreams
Rise to the surface, made me scream
Come forth to me and my desire
I will fuel the flame and fire

Curious awakening in my mind
Has me searching, made me find
Come forth to me and discover
I will be yours always and forever

How Long (Until We Learn)

Caress me forever beyond the sea
Waves created by tears
It's all of me-
You can tell I've been trying
Even if I never make it far
I know how to flee

Carry me forever beyond the light
Waves created by shadows
It's all a fight-
I can tell you're been tired
Even if you always make it far
You know how to ignite

Convince the world forever beyond comfort
Waves created by habits
It's all an effort-
I can tell we've been ashamed
Even if we mistakenly make it far
We know how to hurt

Out There In The Stars

The first time I felt love
I had an angel from up above
I never knew what I could create
To find friends that always relate
To be the light in darkness
To give me permission to be a mess
Never knew what I could create
To find an angel through fate

The first time I found a star
I had a smile wide and far
I never knew what it could mean
To find friends that always seem
To be my path in the night
To give me help when I fight
Never knew what it could mean
To find a star in my dream
