Drown

They told me a story of everything
About the smoke rings of time
and the castles and the kings

They told me i can swim through
The air of reason
But then i drowned.

They told me about sweet future
and the moments
that build up a treasure

They told me i can swim through
The air of reason
But then i drowned.

Mirror

There's an allegation
Outside the door
thought i heard my name
but i can't hear it anymore

Not so long ago
I heard them fears decide
They had to find their way
when one said 'its alright'

saw a mirror
shine in my mind
what lay in front
was all that lay behind

In my mind.

Reflections of this time
That stay deep in my mind.

They speak to me
as i lie awake in bed
Thought these were people there
but these were voices in my head

I could tell you more
about life and its death
but i figure now
all that's been said

saw a mirror shine
in my mind
what lay in front was
all that lay behind

In my mind.

Reflections of this time
That stay deep in my mind.

Just Like Me.

Dont talk about the future today
I still havent got over yesterday.
I just dont seem to have the strength to stand.

When this word play ends somewhere
The castle crumbles out of the thin air
dont look at me, you see i dont understand.

When this is all over with
I'll try to find some reasons.
I'll try to find and hide behind.

I question my sanity sometimes
through all the pictures i've drawn
and a few of them
Look like me.

I might find my answers here
or i'll re write the question
whatever it is i'll let you know.

You know its happened a few times before
The path outside led back to the door
But this time i might not go.

My reflection lied again about
the shades of me on the surface
while darkness paints the truth inside.

Reflection

A small dot at the end of the line
You are ready to start your next
Last time it didnt work out right
This could be your best.

I see you finding out things unreal
partly fiction but mostly real
stories rounded along the end.
The circle waits to be completearound the bend.

Trouble now is like bright sun shine
When you're expecting rain.
Moonlight is like a child smiling
when you dream away.

Your eyes they speak about the places you've been
Shadows are reflections that hate to be seen.

Stories rounded along the end
the circle waits to be complete
Around the bend.

Now I am ready to feel.

Curtains.

As he waits
for the storm to subside
and she thinks
about her rage inside.

While outside in the garden
Sunshine gives itself away
while the curtains of night
slip in on today.

Yesterday
or when it all came to life
and the reasons
they just filled them with delight

While outside in the garden
Sunshine gives itself away
while the curtains of night
slip in on today.

There's a child
and he dreams of tomorrow
his eyes havent seen much sorrow
and outside in the garden
he plays in the space
he colours the world with sparkles from the stars

Your reasons fail to make you who you are.

How does it feel?

So how does it feel?
Does your crown fit and is it for real?
Would you like to be scared sometimes just to know that you are living?
Would you like to drown in this tide that I create just to know what i mean?
The underneath is lacking like the cries of a whispered word
So light that you forgot and it wasnt' even heard
I'm not here to disappoint you
I'm not here at all.

So how does it feel?
Does your crown fit and is it for real?
Would you like to be scared sometimes just to know that you are living?
Would you like to drown in this tide that I create just to know what i mean?

And i still got work to do
these fragile chords might disappear
leaving me alone with my fears
You might want to consider these fleeting words for what they mean
they might be true in my head

And i stand alone to remain
If it wasnt me then I'd understand.

The underneath is lacking like the cries of a whispered word
So light that you forgot and it wasnt' even heard
I'm not here to disappoint youI'm not here at all.

The Riddle

Just around the bend it pleads
Save yourself from your memories
Sense of humour has a twisted smile
and is your attention hypnotised?
Spend the space and waste the time
Some drown in what kept them alive.
Arrange your riddles before you serve
your questions and answers
while questions form some answers
truth turns to lies
some gold turns to glitter
and silver turns to night.

Cover pretence with a disguise
we're not designed to stay alive
crack the riddle and play the game
and its not insane
take the first step and lead
but i wont here if you need me.
Here's another riddle...
The silver star in the sky above
It glows just to burn.
Ignorance will always be a lesson for your knowledge to learn.
