Its too late for you to make me stay,

my bags are packed our minds been made

You'll be dearly missed ever so, don't get me wrong

But I've been trapped in these stonewalls for too long

Call it the next chapter, a new beginning, whatever you want

The truth is I can't wait no more, these walls are haunted

I will think back on you, hell I'll probably even cry for you

A million paths to choose and I'm screamed at to move

I've been space bound for far too long

Gravity pull me back down

These steps I've traced are played in songs

The mistakes I've made I'll leave at home

You're Time

Short minded, forks in the road

Your race, Hare or the Toad?

Either path they make clear for you

Forget them and take your own

Happy as your minds made up to be

Or just as free as you want to believe

Look towards it anyway you need

Our castle in the clouds create upon positivity

The debt were in, the oil in the ocean

To the bombs "they" be exploding

Life gave you reason to be

While "men" keep us hoping

We have the power, our minds to short to notice

Pop cultures got your head in the abyss

So let bygones be bygones

Or your time will be missed

Rainbows in the Distance

Troubled eyes, shoes are untied.
They won't catch me looking down.

Whether ill-fate or karma.
A mere painting in the clouds.

A settle disappointment,
As sun showers fall,
To a rainbow in the distance.


Many thoughts upon rock bottom.
Feet sore by treading ground.

Don't let our books knock off the shelf.
History in pages never to be found.

Eyes lie space and time,
As may have been missed in haste,
A rainbow in the distance.


In an orbit which circles the sun.
Naive to eyes inside the box.

Immense universe in drastic change.
Intertwined in such small thought.

Goodbye old soul,
Hello unknown,
Still be Rainbows in our distance.

Be Bold

We may learn through watchful eyes,
understand by listening lips.
But none more than our overcame fears,
there be bright sides to our mistakes.

Your first impression means much,
but your last impression says it all.
Don't stay to fill a void,
catch our ears, eyes, hearts and soul.

..Be Bold

Life along the way

What doesn't fill this mind?
As the one's that spend time,
Be the one's only I can answer, only I

We do not only span distance and deep water,
But dreams and age
We do not only believe in what is thought of,
But of what we gain

Those who walk amongst us never offer,
Our castle in the clouds on sale
The one's down earth who hustle after,
In the eye of the phantasm -- Holy Grail

Maybe we span distance and high waters,
Through dreams and time
We believe in what it is we thought of,
as well as things we find

To reach what it is we speak of,
Impatient prays for God speed
A little ironic is it not?
While on our own two feet

2010 (Change)

Bask in the praise of what amuse you
Lay back and summon the new day
Rusticate out under sky blue
And give up the things that I'm used to

**Short but sweet, this is my plan

Straying Off The Page

When I lost, time went so slowly
Now without, time moves so swiftly

I cannot stop time, only those moments can
I cannot find mine, in this fall of sand

Keep on moving, keep on keeping on
For nevertheless, never could be less

While I'm continuously moving,
We are solicitously losing

Without these masks I wear,
It's these tasks I only care

I will not take them off, they are germanely bound
Worn when your around, worn when they're around

The time to sit down, save face
The time to stand up, gain grace

Give me something to hold onto,
Take me something I'm afraid to lose

Give me reason, I don't need meaning
You'll feel me leaving, not my being

If good things come to those who wait,
Big dreams surely must be patient

For my own sake,
I strive in heartbreak
