Theres a boneyard to time

locked in the back of my mind

a place hopes and dreams

of youthful thoughts wonder so lost

a gloomy place that shades of black

are woven so tight no light will ever shine

i sit on my rock looking around

at bad memories reliving their lives

theres a bar filled with regrets and choices lost

a graveyard of broken hearts

fenced in with rotten wood

and a tree that stands in the middle of it all leafless and decaying to the core

the ravens sit perched, they call it home

A shop called Things that could of been

has it's lights on

standing next to a locked park

with the wish lake all dried up and swings over taken by rust

A library once filled with books

known as my intelligents has burnt to the ground

and i come here often to visit

on the whiskey boat

he will not let me leave,
everytime i stand to go misery offers me more tea,
sit he'd say i have loads to tell sure whats the rush.
Oh misery let me get on my way,
for the sun is shinning outside and in here is dull and grey,
i want to go see happiness in the beautiful fields and play,
But misery he just shakes his head and tells me this is where i must stay,
my misery loves company and he keeps me locked away.

When time goes by

leaving me behind

i sit wondering why

how did this come about

got in to a tail spin

and never ejected out

now i've crashed landed hitting the ground

it's a strange world, the land unknown, unfamiliar

i need to survive and start to rebuild a new life

the home land is gone it was named the past

i got to discover this new land, this new man

The worlds so filled with colour

even the blackest cloud adds wonder,

everything around you so alive,

things growing, people running by,

reach out and feel the world at your fingertips,

be apart of it, not outside,

Gods is a beautiful artist,

his painting speaks for it's self

The night sky turns black,

no light can break through

its knitted so tight

there’s a mist flouting on the wind

it’s surrounding, caging me in

it’s in my lungs, my body

I’m covered

Boxed in by thoughts that are my own,

Lost control or the illusion of it

No sleep will come,

Dead to the world my life is my own

Honesty keeps me free

And you keep my mind company

God forgive me

show me mercy

as it was you whom created me

sent me to the life i was to lead

Ark Angel tear my soul apart

cast me to hell with the rest of demons

i have become my life

a life not my own for they raised me

Hells flames burn bright

for this is my fate

for the faith i believe in

Devil consume me, torture me

for my tortured soul is all i'l be

in this i shall rest in peace

She shot out of somewhere unknown to me

hit me like a thunder strom to the brain, not giving me time to breathe

she sent me free wheel'in in to a tail spin of feeling

i had forgotten how to feel

And yet here i am

reality hits hard as shes leaving

like a shooting star it lasts for no longer than a spark

flouting in the wind

but the beauty of it all

she leaves behind inside me

as it keeps burning away the thought of her never leaving me

and i caught between

Not wanting to feel

and not wanting to forget

how it felt when i held her tight

now all just a day dream

i keep reliving in my mind
