Into the ashes our memories fade
A relic in time we looked to break

Molding ourselves into the fabric of forever
...

My consciousness seeps out of my mind
Pouring itself into the natural flow of the world
Trying to find comfort within the madness
...

Self-doubt is echoes of our past
Haunting our present moment
Strangling the future we wish for
The verbal chains locking us down
...

A universal energy nestled inside of me
Pulsating and glowing with each breath
I look up at the stars and feel its fire
A mirror reflection of the same energy
...

It's funny how depression and humor go hand in hand
One cares for the other like brother and sister

Sadness is an engulfing feeling that swallows you whole
...

Leaves whisper in the wind
Dancing off into the air
Falling to the ground gently
Autumn is here at last
...

Dive deep into my mind; find the imagination that's inside
Wiggle your way through the hole to hidden wonders
Where other worlds reside and universes collide
...

Here's to the dreamers of the world
The ones who see the future written in the stars
And the misfortunes woven into the way things are
The outcasts that go against the status quo
...

Cry out to the heavens for all the Gods to hear
Until empires fall and the demons disappear

Why won't they listen? Do they not care?
...

The songs of tomorrow whisper in the wind
Telling tales of yesterday's sorrow and today's sin
Listen to the lyrics as they tickle your ears
Open your heart to their truths and let go of your fears
...

We're rats in a cage
Running on our wheels just so
Busy, we have to stay busy
The wheels must turn round and round
...

Political Left or Political Right
To this conundrum there's no end in sight

We bicker over how we should behave
...

We all have it, that thing
That lives inside of us, is part of us
It speaks the worst in your ear
Always trying to bring you down
...

What is an owl that hoots in the night?
Or a howling wolf that has the moon in sight?
It's like a switch flicked on with nature's might
...

Wake me up when the angels sing,
Of loving everything in a sweet melody
When the doves fly high in the sky,
And the moon shines bright over the tides
...
