Two Way Mirrorbox
03:16
|
|||
|
we're in the midst of the ultimate paradox
from the secrets that you have unlocked
inside your two way mirrorbox
(your two way mirrorbox)x4
I can't seem to find
what I lost
and I need to take cover before the frost
so what you dreamin of, you queen?
cause my heart fiends for a love
unseen
my soul leaves my body
exits scene
this body is a costume
and its not clean
but its all yours...
so.....
(happy halloween)x4
you took a treat from your two way mirrorbox
with secrets that taste so sweet
they will never rot
because they are immortal
in your two way mirrorbox
after all, we're living in a paradox
(living in a paradox)x4

Cut Scene
01:42
|
|||
|
you thought
you lost your soul
because you lost your mask
you didn't see
the next coming act
Cut Scene
I wish you would come out
but its alright
its alright...
you prefer to be
behind the curtain
then under
the light
yeah, Cut Scene
yeah, Cut Scene
under the light
under the light...

Smoke In Mind
mirrored eyes
Soft like light
then Combines
there's such a fine line
which is why...
I want something Divine
to tell me that I'm doing alright...
Behind those eyes
Life resides...
Nothing you can buy
but you can surely spend the time
I walk around with my crooked spine
wondering what I will find
because when everything is relative
all you need is a sign...
Washed Out Life
Avoid without Cry
every lesson learned has some sort of price
Folly plays with Wisdom
Wisdom plays with Life so....
Lets brighten our lives with whats inside
a paradoxical heart and an
estranged mind....

Heavy Thoughts
02:34
|
|||
|
In the heart of every man
is a place for him to stand
call forth his choice and will
while his words run through the hills
Open Books, Open Eyes
tell me whats between the bind
Through the days of age
just as you...turn the page...
Some Thoughts are Heavier Than Others....
In the heart of every man
is a place for him to stand
call forth his choice and will
while his words run through the hills...

Solitude
02:32
|
|||
|
As I fall asleep
spiders weave...
Dream Catchers
for me...
and all that has been said
is lying dead
on the floor
Look at you
Beauty in White
and all that has come
Will go with the Night
I ask myself
is it worth the fight?
and all that has been said
is lying dead
on the floor
It's Strange
the only time my dreams come true
is within my Deja' Vu
The moon reflects the sun
once a day
as tomorrow
starts with yesterday
and all that has been said
is lying dead
on the floor
The moonlight upon the web of the spider
reflects the serenity of the night
in its Solitude

For his 21st
He quenched his thirst
as He said to me
with words as such
"You know you don't have to worry so much?"
I can't help but see
the wisdom that he speaks...
I still can't get his love for Kurt Vonnegut
but Oh Well...

Silence Of The Universe
01:35
|
|||
|
It's not money
It's Fear, Pain, and Love that makes the world go round'
It's not funny
When you laugh at the man who wears the thorny crown
Ain't it Lovely?
That the Silence of the Universe
is it's sound....
Heavy is the Head that Wears the Crown.

Deep Valley Crossing
02:06
|
|||
|
I would count my blessings
how does one count their breaths?
in the shadow of the valley
anyone can contest
exchanging carbon for color
until my death
between then and now is all the oxygen I have left
I just need to be breathing
The hounds can look you in the eye
but not speak of what they see
when I look in the mirror
its the same for me
part of you is hiding while the rest wants to be free
wake up to a new life after you fall asleep
I just need to be dreaming...

Autumn Leaves
03:22
|

|
True friends are few and far between
the branches of the last Autumn Leaves
I hope you keep me warm
in the sweater of your winter dreams
cause you know it's cold in the dark
and the wind has teeth that are sharp
cause you know it's cold in the dark
together we will embark
I want to feel you in my soul
as life takes it's toll
I want to feel you in my soul
as...love unfolds
as we spin bicycle wheels
tell me how you feel...
as we spin bicycle wheels
tell me how you feel...
The leaves gather in the street below
my Breath is a Shadow
Lonely as a Tree grows...
I reap what I sow....

Silver Hairs
02:43
|
|||
|
I want to die with Silver Hairs
I want to die at a ripe old age
and ready...
for the grave.
Though no one is ever ready...
I know it's not funny to act as if Life is a Joke
but I hope....
I hope in the end, I laugh.
As if that's all a man could ever ask for..
One last "Hoorah" before the tape
goes blank
and a tear down my cheek
you knew it would be like this
but at the same time
you didn't know at all
like I said
I want to die with Silver Hairs
but
when I'm old and decreped
will I regret
sustaining so long
or will I look back and say...
"Wowwwwwww"
Like you never thought
Only the Good die Young
and You are your own personal villain
I don't know your sins
and you don't know mine
but yet they are...
tearing us apart
so what is there left to say?
I want to die with Silver Hairs
but yet I'm afraid the only real reason
I want to live so long
is really because
I don't want the tape
to go blank
So is it worth the battle?
is it worth the fight?
I imagine there is a wise man
Out there...
with Silver Hair
who will say....
Yes.
Yes it is worth it.
and I hope that one day
I can grow
to be that wise man
and die
with
Silver Hairs

Empty Parks
02:13
|
|||
|
Youth is so Fun
because Death feels so far away
and all you could hope for...
is found in Today.
All the parks are Empty
Just like my Heart
and all that I am
is falling apart
Hold on to what you can
and let go when you must
no one told me
how it feels to be dust
Scrape together
all that you have left
and play your cards
to your very best
Live while you Are
and look to what is.
and Try to Remember
what it's like to be a Kid.

Animal
04:13

|
It wasn't until I saw
That I am an Animal
that I wanted to be....
Human
To overcome your flaws
with all that is rational
and to free yourself from...
Illusion
Learning Universal Law
Transcend what's Irrational
And find Truth with no......
Conclusion
(What does it mean?
To be a Human Being?)x2
What does it mean?
To be truly Seeing?
Beauty can make you
or destroy you...
Beauty can make you
or destroy you......
All the While
I'm just Trying
to preserve
the Puzzle Pieces
of how I see my Life
So someone else
can Piece it all
Together
