Mountain
Who are the ones?
To guide us out
Of obscurity
Who sets the ocean free?
The time has come
To show we can
The dream we have
Can burn inside
To glow in times
That needs the mountain’s eyes
The reddened scar
Healed in time
The students learned
That faith’s alive

Concrete
I prepared for the worst
And couldn’t do anything
The public is laughing
Seems I’ve plunged head first
But that seems so trivial
When this earth is on fire
This beating nightmare
Keeps on silencing
The beauty in
This dissonance
It seems the outside
Changes in every way
And I keep hitting concrete
Gone into an island
Of shame and trepidation
Where paranoia sounds the same

Winter
I’ve heard this sound too many times
Couldn’t make myself remind
That running into the walls at all
Couldn’t soften my fall
Take me to this slumber
and leave me comatose
Then you and I will find a way
to rescue in dreams
The leaves bristle outside
The sun whispers a shine
So I close both of my eyes
And lose this wartime

E.G.M.
Ice is melting in my eyes
And blizzards hide from pesticides
The shape broken and tattered
But can we find the solutions at this point in time?
This heat is caught
Between these nightmares
And will this earth
Ever find home?
I hope this can change
And we can retain
The splendor of this
Ever gleaming masterpiece
The sun is blazing in my eyes
And the winds seems to brush inside

Run
Running through the ocean sounds ok
Tempers melt to water in the sea
I’ve gone away somewhere from my mind
Where the oceans talk without surrender
Everything seems fine when I don’t hesitate
I don’t know when I will listen
Everything seems so confusing
Running seems to be the only option I can take
So I keep dreaming on
Traveling through the stars sounds fine to me
Give me something more than I can take
I’ve gone away somewhere from my mind
Where the stars float through the holy river
Everything seems fine when I don’t hesitate

Present
The finer things in this world
Lays in this strand
Of mass disruption
The commotion lies in my mind
Crushing my time
And laying waste to this spine
The lies spit in my eyes
And I hurry out
To disappear
This time to equate has moved on
And will crash into the truth again
The past runs in my mind
And can’t conclude
The slaughter of the current
I cringe instantly
I must get rid
Of this distress
Finally

Prevail
The deprived
Have seen their heads roll
It’s seems so contrived
Innocence has been sold
Led into the ground
The moneyed cycle
Creates a wall
Where no one is sound
This fiction
Is my addiction
I can’t see myself
So will I prevail?
Crush my inner diseases
Of perpetrated lies and all I didn’t need
Destroy all limitations
Of commercial truths and irrational fears
It’s comatose
Destructive in will
I’m powerless
To it’s control
Greed is an eye
To cheat or divide
I preoccupy
On my defeat
The lies have
been exposed
My eyes
Have been closed

Skies
She avoids me
like an allergy she finds
in my mind
It's so cold and dusty here
Her silence
It froze me in place
in a space so gray
It's so hard to escape from here
Time seems so distant to me
like I'm in some kind of travesty
Dreams hold on to me
and I'm in some kind of fantasy
I tried to
breach this distance
but it caused so much more resistance
Now I can
focus on
my future
and my goals and dreams
Now I can see things clearly
I wasn't strong enough to move
I will call on You now
You will lift me into the skies

This Time
These failures I find
will intrude in time
to a place I have yet settled in.
The attacks have grown
and smashed this mold
into pieces I find in my mind.
Exhaustion,
Beaten,
and feeling this time will bind.
Now this time is right
for self-revelations
Now the time is ripe
for change in the nation
This damage has been
pushing through
to distress tranquility.
Breathing slowly
becomes a rarity.
Am I sure that I'm ok?

Tides
This doubt is running within
Trampling on my convictions
Leaving me behind in this world
I can only speak within
This doubt is already mine
It consumes with immovable strife
The tides of change
will pass me down
I seek the might to break these shackles
Rusted in shame and past disasters
This doubt is crashing within
Smashing my whole confidence
Taking one step out of fear
And running from this paralyses

No Sounds
What will I say?
I can’t think straight
Thoughts race by
Seconds gone away
You’re standing there
Maybe the same
I don’t know
I’m not even looking
Packing this bag
Putting this jacket on
My mouth is closed
My eyes are afraid to…
No sounds inside
No sounds inside
Will move through me
And get to you
Maybe one day
I’ll say something new
It won’t be much
It won’t open the sea
Time will tell
If I get it right
I don’t know
I’ll tell you later
Give me strength
To face these fears
I’m gonna try
I’m gonna get there
Packing this bag
Putting this jacket on
My mouth is wide
I look right at…

Reawake
Fragile inclined,
The weak paradigm
My body fails
Without the mind (weakly)
Reawake the senses
Reawake the spirit
When the thoughts
Slowed within time,
Sensing the
Near serenity (peacefully)
