To Be Nothing
01/15/03
Metallic eyes
Bleed iron tears
And I've got a mouthful of metal.
Hazelnut dreams
Drip from my mind,
And it clouds over -
Have to wipe off
The mirror.
Clean up the image.
Don't be fooled
By the reflection,
Actuality looks better
Than that.
Reality is more
Attractive.
What would you do
If you didn't hide behind
That mask you wear?

Tumblin' Down the Rabbithole
01/16/03

To disguise
The skies
With angels
--No wings
But things of
Such a different matter
And this Mad Hatter's
Ready to run
Ready for someone
To help him out
Cause he's in doubt
But he's getting out!
He says to himself
In such a way
You know he'll stay
Just to compromise
The skies
With angels
--No wings
But things of a
Very different matter
That'll keep our
Mad Hatter
From holding his tongue
Trying to get on
Cause he just can't appease
Always seems to displease
Cold eyes towards
These skies
Full of angels
--No wings
But so many things
Of a different matter
And that Mad Hatter
Is gone
Before the dawn
To try and appease
When he can't even
Please himself.

Truth
01/19/03

You open my closet
Pull out the skeletons
Unveil my secrets
And place them before me.
My darkest fears
Somehow become light
My deepest obsessions
Rise to shallow water.
You soften the blows
With gloves made of metal
You light a fire within me
Then leave me to burn.
You promise of nothing
Yet still I feel empty
When my flowery lies
Burn to your ashy truth.

Ashes To Ashes
04/16/03


Feeling like hell tonight
But I get no comfort from you
And it seems my eyes
Just can't move up to greet yours
Too much smoke in the air
Providing miles of silent terrain
Between us
Your presence dissipates
Into the fog
Losing sight of us
No reconciliation to be gained
When I can't feel your eyes
Upon me
The flames our lit
And our bridges are burning
If you can't breathe any deeper
Then this wasn't meant to be
The ground between us splitting
These bricks we stand on giving way
But you're not stepping any closer
And I don't have room in my heart
For these miles of smoke
If you won't put out the fire.

Peace Of Mind
04/23/03

Lovers weeping
Haters dreaming
Mothers dying
Children screaming
Soldiers killing
By the thousand
People fleeing
Underground
Shielded eyes
Jaded minds
Betrayal cutting
Ties that bind
Raw emotion
Healing wounds
Scars reopened
Much too soon
War of our fathers
War of our past
War of the future
Forever shall last.

The End Of The Road
05/1/03


This road twists and turns
Goes on and on
And I can't see where it will end
But I have faith
That it will lead me to you
For that is the only end
So worth the journey
I'll take my road
And pay my tolls
And I will go on and on
Change directions
Drive forever
Along this unstable path
If it means finding you
Waiting at the end of the road
Waiting for me.
