J.B. Smith Poems

I’m on my bended knees praying for you to help me lord
I’m walking through the fire, help me free my soul
Now that I’m out I never felt so alone
For so long I held my tongue
...

Throw me in the fire and burn me down to ash
I’ll rise up like a phoenix shedding its past
My time is up to lay down this mask
Now I’m searching for the keys to unlock these chains
...

Here I am, lying next to you
I’m lost in your eyes, holding you tight that’s all I want to do
The way you brush your hair, the smiles through the mirror, there’s no place I’d rather be but there
All alone, the world feels so cold, when all hope is gone you are the light that that gets me home
...

How do you put words together when you feel like you’ve died?
My eyes are dry, no telling that I’m crying inside
I know how I feel yet the words are trapped behind my tongue
It would seem that this is a road that has continued since I was young
...

Clear skies, no lies, welcome to my paradise
Listen to the music, let it set you free, open more than just your eyes to see clearly
Standing tall, breaking down these walls, time for me to wake up and give it my all
Once wounded from your poisoned spear, a broken heart with heavy tears, my eyes are dry but I’m drowning inside
...

Standing here on the dirt road were reality is warped and time is twisted
The end began since the day the world had shifted
The darkness overcame when the wound was once again inflicted
...

I hear the music from the trees
They create a warm and calming symphony
As the wind runs through the leaves
I have no need for wishing because I have you here with me
...
