Nature is mighty
Nature is strong
Nature is usually always right
Nature is rarely ever wrong
...

I look out
into the deep blue sky
wishing I could run about
Or maybe to just fly
...

I bet you think that you're so sly
Just oh so sly when you look me in the face and lie
I know you speak nothing of the truth
Why must you persist and try
...

Friend of mine
you took something away
you stole it from me
why can't i see
...

Chains That Bind

These chains
Tied upon the mast
...

Am I right?
Am I wrong?
Is it my sight?
IS it my song?
...

Diamonds are diamonds
Even though one may be shinier
Clearer
Bigger or smaller
...

I'm trippin
i'm slipping
i'm sippin
from the goblet of life
...

Cold slowly advancing across skin
Breath no longer coming from within
Eyes glossy and now glazed
Body left to never again be raised
...

Creeping out
They fly away
flying now, because now is the day
the day of which, the next they'll not see
...

I feel my hair blowing in the wind
I feel at ease
Wishing I could forever float upon this breeze.
To never again be pinned.
...

Ghost
I see them
They swirl around me in a violent torrent
Their eyes are white
...

My mind starts to spin
My thoughts bump around inside my brain
It causes me so great of a pain
My world begins to twirl
...

I wish i could fly
Fly off into the endless night sky
Away from all my pain
That's been making me insane
...

I never really imagined me
The me in the future, who I'd and where
People ask me, but all i do is stop and stare
Staring through them, it's like i cannot see
...

Follow me to the edge
If nobody wants you anymore
Follow me to the edge
If people throw you to the floor
...

Crimson Fire
Raging on Inside
Flowing like the ocean's tide
Telling me my heart's desire
...

I stand on the brink
Staring down into the black
I hated all those shrinks
Now I'm standing at the edge of this crack
...

Down in the grove
Grows long wavy wavy grass
Down in the grove
Grows a mighty ash
...

I wonder what its like
to feel no sense, no feelings in your head
Would it be like you're still alive, but you're already dead?
I lay awake, lay in my bed
...
