I dare not say her name for fear that I'll
Become consumed by long forsaken woes,
Though maybe I've been happy for a while,
It has been years since last this dread arose.
...
Eyes of gold will seek what troubles the meek
Those in the valley aspire to the peak
It’s hard to get there with these weights on my feet
I’ve been running forever on this hopeless street
...
The Sword That's Sheathed
I am not one who walks through desert storms
I am no hero searching for the truth
I walk down paths with those who misinformed

Kelsey…Kelsey, my heart seems to say
In the dead of the night
Or the brightness of day
Kelsey…Kelsey, the beat never stops

And ignorance, its Lock
The young die bold
The old die cold

In one long note, the song is sung. The hopeful dirge has now begun.
What started with a coward’s cry continues with an honest lie
Would arrows shot in parallel bring forth an end to actions fell
The first struck hard into the lamb, and soon the second’s sure to land

Unconscious worries that come and go,
Will soon subside and fear abide
To rules they’ve made about suicide

The flower planted long ago
Has reached its bitter end
No longer is it beautiful
It’s withered now and gone
...
Impatience with a body ever slumping and resisting
That emotion of a moving, never-ceasing human being
In the energetic body of a person caffeinated
While this sluggish couch potato on his journeys fabricated
...
I didn’t know then and I can’t say that now,
I know all the ins and the outs or the how,
But I’m living and learning while still missing you,
And it seems pretty clear that you’re missing me too.
