I sit here and watch as the world dies

I sit here and watch as the world dies,

Sluggishly, deliberately, it declines to black,

Are we ready to say our goodbyes?

People abhor me and others despise,

Poignantly, greedily, souls we do lack,

I sit here and watch as the world dies.

Envious souls, like blinds leading blinds

The Shepard can’t lead the hens on the rack

Are we ready to say our goodbyes?

We’re merely deluding ourselves, realize—

Our past is a predator that follows our track

Will you sit here and watch as the world dies?

And Michael, left of God’s hand, he cries:

“Loved ones mislaid— things we’ll never get back,

Are you ready to say your goodbyes?”

Unlike firebirds, from ashes we cannot rise

Forever human ignorance will stack

That is why I sit here and watch as the world dies.

Is anyone ready to say their goodbyes?

Fear

Fear is the thing of darkness

If we believe it to be real

then it will take our minds away

Just waiting for the kill

Like taking candy from a baby

fear will take our soul

but if we close our eyes to lies

never will it control

Let your fear deceive you not

never let it hide

for once your unsuspecting

in you will it confide

So push away all thoughts of doubt

cling on to your hope

look fear into the face today

and with happiness elope.

Give vs Take

I think i'm schizophrenic

It's real easy look and see

There's an ever rolling battle

deep inside of me.

A constant barrage of give versus take

Never ending, never dead.

Constantly this battle

rages on inside my head.

It continues on forever

I never get a break

These two parts of me are fighting

over which side of me to take

I constantly am hoping

this pain will stop some how

but really you shouldn't worry

'cause we're feeling better now.

I Never Knew You

What part of love can you not fake?

(Just the part that's true.)

What piece of me can you not take?

(Just what's not for you.)

What lies are there in front of me?

(I dare not close my eyes.)

What next will you seek out to see?

(Darkness in the bluest skies.)

Why would you think I'm needy?

(It's for everything I do.)

Why would you think I'm greedy?

(I do everything for you.)

That's the thing you can not see.

(It's right in front of you.)

Funny thing: You'll always be.

(The one i never knew.)
