shape-shifters

~to all shapeshifters:repeat after me~
we're kind we're courteous
but always so fearless
every move we make
is anything but careless
we watch we observe
without a twitch of nerve
we're not of this world
but somewhere in-between
we blend in so well
if you know what I mean
we're seen in the shadows
not quite human not quite creature
we shape all of time
we shape the future
we're just geusts from afar
sent from some distant star
we see hope and love in many
when nightmares rule-theres plenty
we're the shapers,the shifters
the movers,the takers
look for us often
we'll be your guide your journey
your keyhole through eternity

love-sick

I was thinking,you look just like an angel
so would you come on over here
and let me know what you think of that
sit beside me,so we can discuss what is the matter
you have the charm and grace of beauty
and your heart is still intact
hold my hand tightly like it really really matters
I find myself without no words
and not so sure about the facts
will you stay with me and kiss a little longer
I'm afraid to let you go
so don't even try and hold me back
be my love and make me even stronger
I am yours forever and its something I will never lack

floating

why does it seem unfair
life seems so unfair
it hurts when I breathe
tears fall in countless streams
pain lives in my eyes
sadness rules the skies
do rainbows have an end
to feel happy once again

why does my heart hurt so
your face engraved you know
your smile on my mind
but I was not in time
thoughts float then escape
if I could change my fate
to be in love I wouldn't care
and take away this despair

it hurts to stop the bleeding
no words lost the meaning
alone left in the cold
to walk down this lonely road
darkness rules my skies
the lights gone it left my eyes
it shined once but not again
give me real and not pretend

war-child

oh! little child,the one thats in us
we live in terror here,its all around us
guns and bombs,so why all the fuss
waging wars for the name in god we do trust

your warm tears wont change a thing
even with all the love you bring
cause everything that man has built
will soon be destroyed

so hold on tight,my little loved one
a world that makes no sense,so now we must run
no more angels left,to save us from sudden death
everything that man creates will be used to destroy

oh! little child the one thats in us
you ask me all the time,the hell's wrong with us
no more answers for you,there are times I wish I knew
eden is just a dream,that man will destroy

brace yourself little one,watch it cave right in
they will tell you, but its a lie,nobody ever wins
the river of tears can't stop blood and these fears
the sounds of nature are deaf to man,but he hears destroy

no more bombs at night,nothing left,no guiding light
no more child's laugh or screams,this time we did it right
oh! little child we now not exist,we've taken life from you
your little body burned away,mans dream now destroyed away

you can try

you can try and try but nothing works
to be so kind but still you hurt
this creature you hide down in the dirt
its so unfair this kind of hurt

theres one thing in this life you learn
the pendulum swings-then you get burned
hoping-hoping for things to change
this lifes a book so turn the page

I try but it makes no sense at all
when time just seems to take it all
moving hands will tick life away
but in the end it doesn't really matter

searching but theres no one around
to wish for things to keep us sound
waiting and waiting for a friendly face
I feel so lost and out of place

you can hurt til the end of time
the words you say can't change your rhyme
you did your best to fit right in
but in the end it doesn't really matter

~frozen~

sometime ago when my heart began to freeze
I was dying from a brokenheart disease
could never find the flying arrow through my heart
so why is love made to rip us all apart

can't understand the songs made of love and tears
from a world thats stinking cruel and so unfair
left here alone in the bowels of your mind
did cupid leave you and your love behind

this heart of mine bleeding from my chest
is love designed to make us all obsessed
we hide it well to do the best that we can
its still the greatest weakness in every man

we hold it back for years and then we cry
its hard to pick the pieces up and try
find me the trust of an honest human soul
I will make it my number one and only goal

I may be cold but I can feel some kind of thaw
my flesh still burning and it feels so raw
to start again and hope you will not break
I just want someone trusting and not fake

break these chains and shackles from the wall
I'm frozen so theres no chance that I'll fall
take these chills and shake them all away
I wanna feel the warmth and rain in may

leave me here unfrozen here in time
I want you all to ponder this old rhyme
take my advice and always gaurd your heart
to keep it safe from sadness when they depart

in this life

a somber day in this life
nothing makes sense in this life
why do I hurt today from this life

we search for answers we can't find
disease took loved ones that were kind
that empty hole has taken your heart
it's dead right now and needs a start

well I miss them much in this life
to see them smile again in this life
and if they read these words in this life

we search for cures greed and money hide
from companies that put our lives aside
they make medicine without a cure
and if it works it will cost you more!

these sore teary eyes from this life
can't fix this hollow space in this life
to feel like your so alone in this life

we lose our way from the hurt and pain
looking for someone whom is to blame
searching for answers but not in time
a spot on the scan or is it benign

vague memories are left in this life
if I could just freeze time in this life
and what might of been in this life

well theres no easy answer one can find
just live out your life and always be kind
its never too late theres always some hope
even through tough days when its hard to cope

things will be better now in this life
my sun will shine brightly in this life
and if I could believe myself in this life

we need to look past the dark filled skies
look up to the heavens and not question why
in all of lifes creation we start and we end
but whats more important is the love you send

we'll always be here when your time arrives
so live out your life-live it alive!
never look back-move forward and drive!

the drowning man

you leave a man for someone else
you ripped his heart out he falls to hell
he screams he screams in agony
but you've become so blind that you can't see
he feels he feels the waters rise
from the weight of tears that fills his eyes

drowning demons pull him down
he takes one breath and then no sound
his lungs fill up with haunting sadness
from a soul thats hurt in all your madness
forgive forgive me-he screams away
as the jaws of darkness consume the prey

as he lies alone on the ocean floor
once filled with life but not no more
drowning demons have left him now
it makes no sense like love somehow
an empty heart but the swellings down
to end a life in a heart that pounds

drowning drowning everywhere
cause in this life no one cares
take his hand this drowning man
it's only then will you understand
don't let go just hold him tight
and watch the bubbles rise to light

break this spell if you really care
and show your love hold back no fear
the ocean's dark and oh so cold
will you take me back would you be so bold
please save me save me I want to live
I've got much to share and love to give

you sound just like a tidalwave
will you rescue me-is it me you'll save
I felt a hand reach down to me
I thought it was the raging sea
you pulled me across the grains of sand
you cared enough to save a drowning man

transformation

are you locked out with no direction
did all your friends leave you behind
were they there for your protection
or did they just use you for your mind

are you as different as they mention
they've seen all your weird and crazy ways
you tried to tell them its for attention
from scrambled thoughts filled of purple haze

no need to go and change your ways
no one will understand you anyways
its just the love you have for adventure
a moon that changes into that full phaze

are you from some other far dimention
you look for answers to your prayers
theres no one here with a connection
the last call confirms all your fears

are you tired from your isolation
it seems you've been cut off for awhile
you told them about your transformation
your clothes left outside in a pile

no need to follow some empty trail
you've got the eyes,nose,ears,and tail
the lunar light is at your shoulder
just let out a howl and a wail!!

the wolf (lyrics)

you are born a loser
so suck it up and deal with your gloom
you tried to change and make it right!right!right
but all you see is your doom
you are a lonely hunter
you keep your nose to the ground
with eyes of steel you rule the night!night!night!
your paws never make a sound..

the wolf,prowling in the night
the wolf,never backs down from a fight
the wolf,ask him and he might,take your soul tonight

you are born a winner
but then you seen the glow from his eyes
you tried to run filled with fright!fright!fright!
he fooled you with his disguise
though your moans grow louder
the way he tore through your thighs
and now life slips away with every bite!bite!bite!
you knew this was no way to die

the wolf,prowling in the night
the wolf,never backs down from a fight
the wolf,tears into your heart until you see the light!

you are born the hunter
ruler of all creatures of night
you take there lives like a parasite site,site!
the smell of death in your sight
you can really feel the hunger
burning through every inch of your veins
an instinct sparks a fire and you ignite nite,nite!
theres not much of them that remains
