Feel The Strain

Watch as my hands burn
Fuel the pyre of my desires
Find a way to warm your soul
Feel the strain of your fire

Watch as my hopes fade
Envy the vacancy of my fears
Find a way to calm your heart
Feel the strain of your tears

TBT: Corner Shadows (2003)

My eyes
Have seen darkness
A darkness
Even the night
Never sees
And I might
Have missed it
Hadn't I seen
The light

My heart
Has heard love
A love
Even the gods
Never hear
And I might
Have missed it
Hadn't I heard
The screams

Never Enough Time

I wonder how long
It takes to be perfect
There is so much trying
Never arriving
Tell me how
I come to achieve a balance
Before I fall to my demise
Crying

I wonder how long
It takes to be happy
There is so much worrying
Never appreciating
Tell me how
I come to understand my self
Before I run out of time
Dying

TBT: Atlantis (1999)

I feel the water
I see the blue-
Atlantis

I kneel for you
My hand-
I see you're nearer

And when I speak your name
I feel free, I feel you-
Atlantis

I see the wildlife
My man-
I see us together

I feel the air
The air of truth-
Atlantis

Slumber

How many hours does it take
Until it feels like time stands still
I’ve waited far too long
For fate to bend my will

How many dreams does it take
Until it feels like I’m not sleeping
I’ve waited far too long
For slumber to bring me healing

TBT: Either Way (I Am) (2000)

A new fruit will blossom
With the life I can change
Ask about the gift
You can get from the ocean
Walk towards the altar
My mind brings to peace
Either way, I am
Entitled to question
The practice I am receiving

Say good-bye
Jungle of my heart
Ask about the kiss
You can get from the ocean
Walk towards the sea
My mind brings to peace
Either way, I am
Never going to dispel
The practice I am receiving
