Fear not the coming day
You can not run nor hide away
Embrace the breaking of the morn
For in each sunrise we are reborn
...

Long night holds me wake
As darkness fills a sleep that’s fake
Awake in conciseness, a waking dream
Awaiting only the daylight queen,
...

From darkest hour to the brightest day
There has been a bound unbroken by time
And a love I fear I can not convey
Nor mean its meaning in my simply rhyme,
...

...

Wanting not that which ye hold so high
Leaves this heart of mine contented
For it can not fail were it does not try
It remains free from the tormented
...

We lived in a world made of sand
Our castles built under moonlight
They stood tall and they stood grand
Beacons of hope filled the night.
...

Day and night intertwine
Darkness and light outside of time
No hills no lakes, no land nor sea
This is truth, this is me.
...

I am the melancholy man who lives the melancholic dream
In the concrete jungle that grows per diem
I have lived my life by the rules they gave
A mere monotone of a monotonous regime,
...

A soul will cry a thousand tears and flood out all the earth
Washing away the fears of man and leaving no rebirth
A heart will burn a fiery rage and scorch out all the sky
Burning away the pains of age and leaving life to die
...

Hold back thy tides of malcontent
No truth is seen with fearful eyes
That view a world in times decent
When past and present meet their demise
...

I will tear down this world and burn away the night
As the broken clock echoes on through the ages
To see once more your hearts infallible light
I shall free the demons from their cages
...

Maybe there's a way to find the future, living in our past
If only they could suture all the wounds that we've amassed
Before the words were spoken and the arrows that were cast
When our hearts were unbroken by the questions that we asked
...

I dreamt a dream this night and in this you were there
I moved towards you smiling as your beauty became clear
You stood hands clasped together a true joy to behold
When an arm reached from behind you and took a stranglehold
...

The blade cuts slowly as it moves
Out pours a cold crimson cloth
The mood soon improves
Seethe the pain to froth
...

I don’t know where I’m going now
I’ve forgotten where I’ve been
I’ve been walking down this road for so long
Maybe it’s time I give in
...

...

I wish I wasn’t so alone, that the world would forgive me
But that is just a dream it is never meant to be
I cannot go home, for only in exile are we free
No hope do we gleam just that depth of melancholy
...

You broke me like an unwanted toy
You stole me in the days that went by
You loved me like they love the show
You hate me and that’s all that I know
...

'Why are you shaking? '
'It's adrenalin, an evolutionary response to external stimuli
Fight or flight'
'But you did neither. You just stood there, like a dear in the headlights'
