Black Friday

After work
In my bed
I can feel the breeze of the afternoon
Smell of oak in the air
As flames burn in the fireplace

The world is a sad, sad stage

Black Friday morn
Ten o'clock
People waiting outside store doors
Yeah, they are
Wallets out
Aisles filled with smoke from cigarettes

The world is a sad, sad stage

Trying again
To fend for myself
And all that I am

The Guitarist

Strum the strings
From room to room
The sound will ring

Sealed in its case
Taking up space
I use a pick to play
The guitar, everyday
Playing a chord
Only when I'm bored

Strum the strings
From room to room
The sound will ring

Its base is wood
Its strings are not
When you cannot play
There is nothing to flaunt
Before you play

Heaven Is Hell Without You

Why don't you come here?
Why don't you see me?
Why won't you call me?
Why won't you free the inner thought?

I have not spoken
In quite a few days
But you have not answered
Have you nothing to say?

Heaven is Hell without you
Oh yes I know it is true
Heaven is Hell without you
What can I do?

You have not tried to
Reach out to see me
How can I trust you?
Long as you don't free inner thoughts

In the Alley of Truth

As I was standing by the hillside
A voice spoke to me
It said this world you have forgotten
Will finally be set free

And I prayed to a spirit
I wasn't completely sure of
But what if I wanted to fall
Instead of come up to find love

Oh, these lies
Killing me
Killing me
Shot dead
Darkness

Oh, it's you
In the alley of truth
I see the sparkle in your eye
You can't deny it

On Like River

We had such fun
Underneath the sun
But it's done
And time has won

In the ocean beneath
Washing away our feet
Offering my seat
And you go

On like river
Off like hurricane
Oh yeah

And you go
On like river
Off like hurricane
Can you feel my pain?

By the light in me

To the Stars

What beholds
In my sight
My lover in the night

That she may sleep
In inner peace
Atop a bed of fleece

And how cruel of me
To confess
Of her long purple dress

We gazed upon the night sky
All of who we may try
And as we met each other's eyes
With love, to the stars we shall rise

And what is
My temptation
To ignore my condemnation

The Winds of September

The winds of September
Kept you from your dying ember
And your eyes became open

Clearly you can see now
And await the world its freedom
As it goes around the sun

You know I love you
I hold you in my arms

The cold winds of November
As the season shifts to winter
You cling on for warmth

The liars of the forests
And the myths of tomorrow
Will be gone, long gone

You know I love you
