Pull the veil off
Move in, teeth bared
Retreat then steal away
Pull the veil off
Watching but don’t care
It’s easier to look away
Feed their dreams
Sell them away
Feel their lives
Cushion the graves
Feed their dreams
Only if they pay
Kill their lives
Til there’s no one left to say…no
He who stokes the fires
Will burn us all
He who stokes the fires
Pull the cover of night down
Around the destitute
Retreat to the
four walls you call home
Pull the shadows of death in
Sign their lives away
Unite never, stand alone
Feed their dreams
Sell them away
Feel their lives
Cushion the graves
Feed their dreams
Only if they pay
Kill their lives
Til there’s no one left to say…no
Don’t say
You’ve tried it all
When you walk away
Cause it’s easier
Don’t pray
Cause there ain’t no use
We’re too far gone
to Revolt or reveal the truth
He who stokes the fires
Will burn us all
He who stokes the fires
Disseminate

Reflective Space

Ill free this dove, caged by what made us turn to dust
And flee the world
And like a dove, we’ll spread our wings
Into the atmosphere, where we are all the same
Liberty is what we crave
But soar the skies for days and nights
It’s all the same
Liberty is what we crave
But try to find, the peace inside
Reflective space
Let these moments simplify
What it means to be alive
Staring into the blackened abyss – do we change?
And so we’ll disappear tonight
Under clouds of shadowed white
Do we reach for the stars?
and pull one out and pin it to our yearning hearts.
Liberty is what we crave
But soar the skies for days and nights
It’s all the same
Liberty is what we crave
But try to find, the peace inside
Reflective space

Thankful

Smoke billowing across the empty room
Light a candle, let it burn away
Light a candle, let it fade
Found: compassionate in my heart when it was a tomb
I’ll light a candle, watch ethereal flames
No matter the times, it’ll always change
Opened my eyes,
The dust on the screen disappears
Cause it’s more than just simple here
It’s love and it’s life and it is all mine
Fire smoldering before it escaped the womb
Light a match, let it burn it away
Light a match, let it fade
Hearts collide in a fury of fate filled moments forged with trust
Light a fire, pour gasoline, fluttering ash, do I dare to dream?
Open my eyes,
The dust on the screen disappears
Cause it’s more than just simple here
It’s love and it’s life and it is all mine
Tear down foundations
Of what stood before
Fire cleansed its soul
The choice was bold
But the rain came down
And the rain saw smoke
Dance in pirouettes
Suddenly, discontent was content
Open my eyes,
The dust on the screen disappears
Cause it’s more than just simple here
It’s love and it’s life and it is all mine

Embers

Fall into my arms and
Crumble into the darkness of my embrace
Shed light unto the mundane
And burn holes in circles and oval to eradicate my flaws
Light, light that you give
Exposes me to the world I have shunned
But light gives me strength to burn out
I want to believe
That life has a purpose for me
I just want to believe in you
I never want to take for granted what exposed us all
As self centred embers waiting for a chance to ignite
And rage and be heard
Light, light that you give
Exposes me to the world I have shunned
But light gives me strength to burn out

One Second

You leave home, no second thoughts
Routine is all you think about today
But one moment is all it took to find out you had left and gone away
And we heard it together
But we still felt so alone
When we heard it
We never could believe that you were gone
Its moments like the one right here
When you run back home and hold your family dear
Its too little too late for some
When its all gone don’t wait too long
To tell the ones you love that they mean so much
And we heard it together
But we still felt so alone
When we heard it
We never could believe that you were gone
One second is all it takes
