“BURY YOUR PAST”
Looking back at all the things I never did
I wish I did
I wish I could have said
All this running through my head
But I have made this bed
I will lie in this bed till then
Cut ties and loose ends
Start it over again
Now standing here, along the road that leads to my memory
A haunting glow greets me
Welcoming
Deceiving
Faces of ghosts from long ago
Still stagnant in the only life they know
Always knew that I was meant for so much more
Living here isn’t worth dying for
No, this house is not a home
Bury your past
Set your world on fire
Materials to ash
There’s no going higher
There’s no looking back
Keep your mind running
Bury your past
Growing up for me wasn’t easy, as it seemed that it should be
My mind left me in a strange, yet native daydream
I fed my soul the one thing I know
I will live vicariously through rock n roll
But before long you forget the words to your song
Got to get back to the place where I belong
To the place where I belong
Bury your past
Set it all on fire
Materials to ash
There’s no going higher
There’s no looking back
Keep your mind running
Bury your past
In the midst of burning life
It’s death we stalk tonight
In the midst of burning light
Let in the dark
Don't fear the night

Tale Of Tragedy

“TALE OF TRAGEDY”
How far back does the story go?
Suppose I’ll never know
A dark twisted fate has led me on this road
With no real place to call my own
I travel on and on
Sing my tale of tragedy
What I’ve become
Unleash the monster in us all
I took the poison apple
Now my mind it seems to play tricks on me
With every lonely line of verse
I’m cursed to bare this curse
I drew my gun
But he drew first
I was searching for a heart of gold
Yet somehow, was left with a heart of stone
A deal with the Devil
Gone oh so wrong
Please ease my soul tonight
Please hear my song
Destined to walk the Earth alone
This one-man show tends to tour alone
Because he knows
Everyone he’s ever loved has long passed on
Our hero, once a man who wanted it all
Lost it all
I was searching for a heart of gold
Yet somehow, was left with a heart of stone
A deal with the Devil
Gone oh so wrong
Please ease my soul tonight
Please hear my song
Just a jester to a world that’s moved on
Though some still sing along
He’s known everywhere he goes
But to truly be known is the difference he chose
He’s alone

Lost At Sea

“LOST AT SEA”
Everybody’s out living their lives
Synchronizing their minds
Hanging out with their own kind
But not me
I’m lost at sea
Don’t bother looking for me
I was born with a plastic spoon
Very few encouraged me to do what I do
Endless nights writing in my room
It was the only escape I knew
I’m lost at sea
Don’t bother looking for me
In the midst of this catastrophe
My mind takes me away to sea
I got bats in my belfry
I’m losing it
I’ve lost my grip
Now watch me slip
Jump ship
I'm over it
Lo and behold the demise
Of the blue from my eyes
From time to time
Look to their eyes for something more
But nevermore
Positively optimistic baby
With shades of grey
A splash of black
A hint of crazy
Home is in the cemetery
That’s where you know to find me
Singing…
I’m lost at sea
Don’t bother looking for me
In the midst of this catastrophe
My mind takes me away to sea
I got bats in my belfry
I’m losing it
I’ve lost my grip
Now watch me slip
Jump ship
I'm jaded
Lo and behold the demise
Of the blue from my eyes
From time to time
Look to the skies for something more
But nevermore

"DOWN"
Old fool, See me
The void when you left
I have kept as prosperity
Now I'm a grown man
Understand that I'm through
With your condescending views
Don't let them strip away
Your dreams from you now
Don't let them drag you down
Sometimes it's the closest to us
That do us wrong
Leave them in the "Lost & Found"
DOWN
Dear Love, Hear me
No longer a pawn
It's so long
To your games of psychology
"To have and to hold"
Became an old distant memory
You never believed in me
Don't let them strip away
Your dreams from you now
Don't let them drag you down
Sometimes it's the closest to us
That do us wrong
Leave them in the "Lost & Found"
DOWN
I'm letting you know
That I'm letting you go
It is you I've outgrown
Like a tidal wave, It crashes
Like a burning book of matches
I just want you to know
I'd like to thank all of you
For helping me strive
And it feels so good to be alive
Sometimes it's the closest to us
That do us wrong
Leave them in the "Lost & Found"
DOWN

"DARK SYMPHONY"
Down in the depths within my chest
There is a fire
Though burning bright
It longs for life to warm the hollow
Where does the time go?
Time goes, Time goes
Yet you wonder why I feel so estranged
I guess it's strange to stray away from the paths that are paved
To drift by is to die
I'm destined to make a scene
Call upon me
Dark Symphony
And while the sirens sing sweet lullabies of sin
I won't be listening
I've lost my mind
The nine-to-five has broken my stride
I come alive in the night
On a stage under lights
I keep bleeding for that feeling
I sing for my life
Then say goodnight
Call upon me
Dark Symphony
And while the sirens sing sweet lullabies of sin
I won't be listening
Paving the way with something of substance to say, for a change
Call upon me
Dark Symphony
To break free from this tale of tragedy
For it's one glimpse
Then it's gone
Call upon me
Dark Symphony

“SAD SONG”
I have loved
I have cried
I have slowly died
But I don’t regret a thing from my life
Through the darkest of trials
And a mountain of compromise
Don’t you love it how we’ve got nothing but time
Yet can’t find how deep the rabbit hole really goes
Don’t you love the sound of that sad voice
He’s singing your song on the broken down radio
Sad song
It was the saddest song to ever be sung
I hope you all sing along
And find comfort in knowing that you’re not alone at all
In a sad song
The days feel they’re getting much longer
It’s getting much harder to relate
These days
Keep it all bottled inside
But you’re running out of room to hide
Don’t you love it how the whole world seems it’s changing
Yet you seem, you’re staying the same
Don’t you love the sound of that sad voice
He’s singing your song on the broken down radio
Sad song
It was the saddest song to ever be sung
I hope you all sing along
And find comfort in knowing that you’re not alone at all
In a sad song
We are all singing a sad song of our own
Out of tune
Deaf of tone
You have all sung along
We are all singing a sad song of our own
Out of tune
Def of tone
Won’t you come sing along?
