Fiercely plead
Take from me your memory
I promise through to carry you
Emblematic of a drastic symbiotic cry
A hand for you, a well that never dries
Where are you, lost from my view
Held by night’s view
Where are you, I’m drawn to
Through dark and cold, not fully known
I know, despite the lines I’m told
I’ll keep hold
(always)
Where are you, though I may grow old
I’ll keep hold
(always)
Where are you, a force I’m pulling to
Where are you
Where are you
(always)
Stage now set and believe me
Gravity’s stronger than past tragedy
I will come find you
Where light decides to end
I will come find you
Where light decides to end
Endlessly drawn through my own fate
Deeply worn etches of mortal mistakes
Shackled to choices I’ve defined
But I lived all the life I have swore and consigned
Destined to no singular line
Defiantly waiting for tomorrow to rise
Waiting for tomorrow to rise

Drifting between the real
And what yet could be
History’s haunting your peace
Though I’d never really thought that it would be
A care reminding me
Of what I used to be so painfully
I’ll cautiously envy
All that you could be
How could he know what it’s like
When time’s a measured distance
Our stories play out in their own timelines
Echoes, fragments from
All I used to be
Forces haunting a peace
So I’ll cryptically display
One final thing
Listen closely to the words that I would never hear
(The one who saves will be the one who’s saved)
The one who saves will be the one who’s saved
Don’t make the same mistakes
(The one who saves will be the one who’s saved)
Don’t make my same mistakes
(The one who saves will be the one who’s saved)

So you think you know what torture is
So you think your thoughts are intimate
Live a day where all you find
Gets locked behind a door with no key
You recall the times when we were young
You recall the promise to
Always bear
The others darkest fear
Strands to the rope that binds us
Ties to a pain I can’t define
Locked in a hopeful stasis
Will you find your way
Ghosts to the bridge between us
Guides to the line where you belong
I call you back where you belong
It’s a bond, she said, so cherish it
Honor full the heart of your opposite
Through the years I’ve come to find
You’ve stacked so high the stones of tragedy
Please recall the times when we were young
Empathetic resonance will nullify
The darkest waveline
Strands to the rope that binds us
Ties to a pain I can’t define
Locked in a hopeful stasis
Will you find your way
Ghosts to the bridge between us
Guides to the line where you belong
I call you back where you belong
(I call)
I call you back to me
(I call)
I call you back to me
You should know your thoughts aren’t intimate
Honor full the heart of your opposite
Such a tether always holds
From highs and lows and love through memory
Just recall the times when we were young
Don’t forget the blood we share will always call
And bring you back to me

Most days a smile and a nod is all I do
But did they know they’re masks I hide behind
For far too long I’m left to history’s song
It pulls on me a force like
(It’s like gravity)
Gravity it’s pulling me
(gravity)
It’s like gravity, it’s pulling me
These days a smile and stolen glances spark my core
A dawning on horizons I now recall
Ignited inside by those soft eyes, I know
I’m pulled to you a force like
(It’s like gravity)
Gravity you’re pulling me
(gravity)
It’s like gravity, you’re pulling me
City lights and stars below
Are bursting through the space inbetween
An ember and my soul
Reignited by your face next to me
Some power unforeseen
Gone supernova through the deep
A dying star it seems
Reignited by you to keep

A Grand Re-Entry

See what you are
Just an ordinary life form
You’re not alone
Just an ordinary
You’re so ordinary
Just so ordinary
Soaring through
Skies of black
Never looking back
A great disguise
Hahahahaha
Devouring engine
Beginning to an end
No place to go
Just reaping what was sown
See what you are
Just so ordinary
Just so ordinary

I waited for the time you came to me
(So helplessly)
So I scream
(Happily)
Fighting for the blood you have in me
(So they bleed)
Stepping in a world evolved with nightmares and fantasy
(don’t let go)
Together we’ll survive clinging onto our humanity
(we’ll make it)
Intrepid steps on our long road home
I waited for the time your pain would cease
(she brought that dream)
So I scream
(happily)
Remember all the good times that we shared
(don’t be scared)
Stepping in a world evolved with nightmares and fantasy
(don’t let go)
Together we’ll survive clinging onto our humanity
(we’ll make it)
Intrepid steps on your long road home
Freed, left dying from the ashes burnt by your actions
Through smiles and relief I watch, as you run
Run

Sins are never created from within
There’s always a villain
But the day has come and I seek
Your utter defeat
Written by a loving father
Signed by a grieving daughter
For the ones who cannot see
For the ones robbed of a sleep
For the ones who are just like me
I’ll burn it to the ground
For the ones living quietly
For the one who stood defiantly
For the ones who are just like me
I’ll burn it to the ground
I could never constrain my hope
A construct for my soul
But the day has come and I’m free
To offer it up
Written by a loving father
Signed by vicious daughter
(willingly)
For the ones who might yet see
Ignite excitedly
For the ones fighting fiercely
We’ll burn it to the ground
For the ones giving everything
For your vanity
For the day when all will see
I’ll burn it to the ground
Written by a loving father
Signed by a vengeful daughter
For the ones who cannot speak
For my own sanity
For the one who told me “no retreat”
I’ll burn you to the ground
Don’t tell me what you think
For their humanity
I’ll show you what I mean
When I burn it all down

Screaming through a midnight sky
High-pitched remnants haunt the quiet
Last breath just before the leap
Taunting my peaceful sleep
After all we’ve been through
I’m holding on to what I have left to lose
And maybe I’m just selfish
Or perhaps it’s just a helpless side to choose
I’m burdened by their ignorance
Though I’d never asked for it
Can I please stay with you this way
Drifting quietly from pain
Just take my hand, always to the end
Just take my hand, always to the end
Dancing firelight, a sight to see
Burning ties to history
With thunderous booms I’ll light the night
With the reason why I’ll scorch the sky
It’s for you
It’s for you

Recall: From Memory 818
05:40
|

Recalling a time
When all the stars fell inline
He looked at me most nights
Through such caring eyes
While forgetting my place
In universal space
I was biding a time
That wasn’t quite mine
Consistently defies
What all the others imply
Instilling in my mind
The only choice is to rise
To forget of the taste
Of an immortal place
But it just wasn’t time
To learn the voice he’d designed
My only regret I find
Is falling short of his line
Through pain and scars I’ll refine
My actions will not remind
(of those eyes)
So the cogs keep turning
(of those eyes)
Towards a lesson worth learning
Brace yourself your note is coming due
Such caring eyes
And they were mine
(I’ll meet you)
I paid my fine
(I’ll meet you)
You gave me life
(I’ll meet you where the stars end)
Despite the negatives in my path
And the times I didn’t think I’d last
Now I’ve reached the end
I’d do it all again
Crawling forward through sorrow and dismay
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Now I’ve seen the end
I’d do it all again
All again
(I’ll meet you where the stars end)
All again

The Tide

Your vain attempts amass
An asset you should let pass
And let impasse fade alas
I’ve always given you everything
A horde like nothing you’ve ever seen
So just hear me
These are days of sunlit shores
Where the dark gets placed once more
To the shade it was before
And the tide reveals its stores
My suffering has past
You will give in and ask
Where did I forfeit this task
I’ve always obeyed such bidding
A gold-plated road of deceiving
Now I’m screaming
These are days of sunlit shores
Where the dark gets placed once more
To the shade it was before
And the tide reveals its stores
