Now and Then
Lust to dust
Growing old together
Placing trust
In a golden tether
I can see
that there’s a need to prove that I can be
all the things you want and more
Savior love
Show me i can do this
In the balance of following our true bliss
Stay with me
See beyond what I am
I can be all the things you want and more
Now and then
I think of
Now and then
Take my doubt away
I wanna’ go where all is synergized
And never either-or
All my life
All I ever wanted was to become
All the things you want and more
Waiting for the end
To take me from this soulless empty rut
That I’ve been living for
I can’t die
Wondering if I was wrong to give up
All the things I wanted more
Than us
Now and then
I think of
Now and then

Aloneness
Friday
Off like a sunday
And after a thursday rain
I feel like a bum
‘Cause I know what you want from me
But I’m home
Back in aloneness
My thoughts
Back in aloneness
My spark
Fading away
Monday morning
I roll in
Feeling guilty again
I’m awake
But i don’t really want to be
And i look
Back in aloneness
My time
Back in aloneness
My zone
Back in aloneness
My spark
Fading away
The psyching up
The winding down
The way you look
When you’re proud
(lead break)
And I look to the wall
Seeing how little time we’ve got
To get over the things we’re not
And move on
And yet here I am
Waiting for my window to come
To resolve this longing
For something more
And the dream grows fainter
Each morning I wake up
To a life I’ve begun
To fear I’m meant to live
Back in aloneness
My spark
Fading away

Violet
Fatally flawed
By your own father
Seeking his warmth
Through every john
Finding rebirth
Here where you always are
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
To the world
Memories of
Innocence stolen
Crawl in your blood
Breaking you down
Blaming yourself
Wondering what went wrong
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
Taking your own revenge
Waking denials up
To the ways of your world
(break)
This world is no substitute for the one
Your soul spirals down toward
But no one can solve the pain that you’ve known
Purging your sins
In the red water
Feeling your wrists
Opening up
Finally now
Maybe you’re going home
Waiting to die alone
Fighting your one defense
Singing a siren’s song
Taking your own revenge
Saying goodbye to it all
Sighing your dying breath
Waking denials up
To the ways of your world

Down to the Wire

Down to the Wire
Say you’re wrong
What does that mean for you then
How could you know
When your time’s spent
In a fleeting haze of forgettable hours
Just another face in a crowd
A flickering light
Awaiting something to come along
And ignite the spark
Of all that you could have been
Down to the wire again
Biding the time you have left
To become what you won’t
Say you’re right
Then why even get out of bed
You’re already dead
To the world that you have traded
For your comfortable shelter
It’s almost like it was somebody else
The passed life you relive each night
As you lie awake in the dark
And dream of who you were then
Down to the wire again
Biding the time you have left
To become what you won’t
Down to the wire again
On and on
Tomorrow is always the same
And yesterday’s just a reminder
Of how today’s sure to end up
And so you make as much of your lot
As you can (all that you can)
Putting off (until the end)
What is only a question of when
Down to the wire again

Intervention
The light
Hovering above
A sudden shifting of all eyes
From the war begun
Entities
Infinities beyond this time
Taking their elect
Away into the clouds
Then one comes down
Suspended like a ghost
Scans the frozen crowd
And all at once
The reason why they’ve come hits
And so here you are
Begging for your lives
Like many before
Who stood where you are now
Praying for once
In too-late remorse
For the outcome of your world
You say that you won’t
Let it come to this
Then sanction the means
To wipe out all existence
All that you’ve done
Says you won’t
Save yourselves from
What you are
As the dead start to come to life
Entranced by what he says
Like moths
Spiraling a light shined
Everyone
Seems timelessly united by
What’s been brought to bear
For all who stand to fall
Then one comes down
Suspended like a ghost
Scans the frozen crowd
And all at once
The reason why they’ve come hits
And so here you are
Begging for your lives
Like many before
Who stood where you are now
Praying for once
In too-late remorse
For the outcome of your world
You say that you won’t
Let it come to this
Then sanction the means
To wipe out all existence
All that you’ve done
Says you won’t
Save yourselves from
What you are

So Wrong

So Wrong
Another night
Much the same as most are now
Tortured by this sad, cruel dream
It seems so wrong
So wrong
Thinking everything we planned is gone
Just what this really means
Is something I still find
Too much to face
Tonight
Hilarity will never feel the same again
Hardened by the years we lost
It seems so wrong
So wrong
Thinking that there’s nothing one could do
That can be done
And time may never heal
This constant ache inside
The from-now-on reality I find
Too much to face
Tonight
(lead section)
Oh, so wrong
Thinking that there’s nothing one could do
That can be done
And time may never heal
This constant ache inside
The from-now-on reality I find
Too much to face
And life won’t be life
Knowing that you’re not around
To share it all with

Set in Stone

Set in Stone
A laugh was all we needed
It just wasn’t the time or place
I don’t know what you thought I meant
But that look was on your face
All those conversations
Confirm my reservations
Off-guard, naked
What to take away from this
Horizons fade to gray
And the ties are frayed to a single thread
Held like a present you can’t take back
Once the box has been opened
You sell yourself on the old cliché
That “sorry” makes everything okay
Hiding from what you can’t disown
The goal of making amends your way
Set in stone
There’s never quite enough
Time for a friend in need
Until you’re one
Set in stone
Too self-involved to ever know
The damage you’ve done
Tripping laughter
Falling backward
Facing nowhere
Inclined to go where it may lead
And after all we’ve been through
There’s still those times we’re drawn to
The landmines that lay waste
To the fields we play in
Then all the distance
Builds up more resistance
All we never could have been
Set in stone
There’s never quite enough
Time for a friend in need
Until you’re one
Set in stone
Too self-involved to ever know
Set in stone

Finally Alone

Finally Alone
Full moon tonight
You came offstage
And I
The Mythical Chosen One
Was inside your room
Hiding out
Waiting for all this time
To sweep you away
The moment just wasn’t
How I imagined it
From this lonely, denied life
All your lines
Going over in my mind
How could I not respond
The songs you write
The way they were played tonight
The feeling of when you sang
As if just for me
No one else
And maybe you’re in the right
To want me to leave
But the sight of you here before me
Is all too much
To fight off wanting you all mine
So close your eyes
And let me show you the right light
Where no one can bother us
Finally alone
Just me and you
Finally alone
You don’t have to lie
I know we’re meant to be together
‘Cause I am the one
Your lyrics describe
Now, love
Tell me why
You can’t always be all mine
Don’t be scared
Hand me over your life
You’ll come to see it’s right
I’ll keep you safe
From all the ones who try
Finding out where you are
Finally alone
Just me and you
Finally alone

The Promise

The Promise
You won the pageant by just being born
Held them in your palm when they watched you perform
Worked enough pole to climb your way into film
Now won’t Daddy be proud
Thirty minutes left till you go on
To powder up your nose
And paint your face off
The final moments
You visualize pleasing him
And earning your bond to the warmth
And it’s suddenly all you have to roll with
Pandering out to the warmth
And it’s sure to be something to forget
But soon
You’re gonna’ make them all
Respect the promise
Someday
You’re gonna’ take yourself
Away from all this
Standing naked before the “in” crowd
The cameras start to roll as you take your first bow
Contemplating the elegance of your hair
Unraveling now
Fantasizing of when you were young
And everyone would gather ‘round as you spun
Daddy knew that you did it all just for him
And groomed you to bleed for the warmth
And it’s suddenly all you have to roll with
Pandering out to the warmth
And you’re gonna’ be all he ever wanted
All the years that he held you to the warmth
And it’s sure to be something
They may not see it now
But soon
You’re gonna’ make them all
Respect the promise
Someday
You’re gonna’ take yourself
Away from all this
All that
The others have you want
And your time has come now
Nothing
Can hold you back from what
You’re meant to be now
Nothing

Say the Words

Say the Words
The talk that never comes
Gets stuck inside your throat
Choking down your tongue once more
Like you’ve always done
Your smile tastes bittersweet
Like candy when you’ve had too much
Reasoned
Till it all comes back up
Say the words
Come to light
Shed the weight inside
Just say the words
Call it out of your mind
Your blood runs hot and cold
And leaves you so lukewarm
Who could ever know your heart
Felt so wronged and wasted
Say the words
Come to light
Shed the weight inside
Just say the words
Eye-to-eye
Stand against the force that drags you down
You’ve been a doormat too long
Rise above this state you’re in
And breathe the world you find to life
(break)
Say the words
Come to light
Shed the weight inside
Just say the words
Eye-to-eye
Face the wind
All you want is to be liked
But what you want has a price
Rise above this state you’re in
And breathe the world you find to life

Always The Man

Always The Man
Spiraling down through the misery of
Bottling up all your wishes for something
More than you’ve found
In the arms of your tormentor
Holding your breath till the ritual’s done
Bleeding your love like a tear in the ocean
Wondering how it could ever have come to this
Always The Man who runs the show
Always The Man
Watering eyes cause your vision to blur
Veering you off from the path that leads homeward
Bordering on a mirage and an oasis
Always The Man who runs the show
Always The Man who’s got control
Always The Man
We all should know
(Oh, should know)
And nobody wants to believe he's stolen
What nobody wants to concede they don't have
When no one knows how make their own minds up
Always The Man who runs the show
Always The Man who’s got control
Always The Man
We all should know
Always The Man

Your Loss

Your Loss
I watched you throwing away
Everything you love
On the lie of a social binger faith
And the comfort of
Everything that defines your loss
I remember you when
You would never waste your time with
The side of the road
That you're on now
I thought once you sobered up
You might've cared
But the demons that drive you to get drunk
Leave you unprepared
For the chance to redeem your loss
I remember you when
You would never waste your time with
The side of the road
That you're on now
Whatever you want
Just not us
I’m done
My sun hasn't shone in much too long
I get caught up in the rut of your fun
And all I can't do I know is wrong
(lead section)
I remember you when
You would never waste your time with
The side of the road
That you're on now
Whatever you want
Just not us
I'm done
My sun hasn't shone in much too long
I get caught up in the rut of your fun
And all I can't do
I know is wrong
And I don't wanna' take you from what you want
My heart isn't so negotiable
When nothing comes before the self-seeking of
Your loss
