1. TEARS

Reaching out in deadened night,
Emptiness by candlelight,
Memory a haunted sea,
Souring in sudden rage,
The damage plagued upon my love,
Driven by this selfish urge,
To separate yourself from me,
But not the way you planned,

The gambit flow of shifting thought,
Shall ride a kiss upon my cross,
And with each moment of despair,
Lay to heart a lovely tear.
Within each bulb the salty sea,
Swims an ocean silently,
Swims the forest of my dreams,
Swims the essence of my being (...I call me)

Come ringing back now,
(Can't explain),
The measures swept away in pain,
Hatred, will I escape your grasp,
Buried feelings let me pass.
I cannot kill this final flame,
The fire that once consumed my heart,
But Hope must have some kind of fuel,

And chance must keep this fire.

Reduced to ashes, We run colder on the outside. A Spartan Hope that dwindles near the source
Of this contempt. What has my hopeful certainty for the Future returned upon my desperation
And difficult memory, besides wasted moments, whose Questions are not resolved? Simple things
Went un-addressed, until such time as they could only pass Away. Losing you shall (forever
Mark my breast. Injury knows no justice.)

Swimming out the tears in my eyes
Looking for the shore,
I hope that this is the last time...
I hope that this is the last time...

3. WITHIN

Yesterday with eyes away the briefness of a moment
As in a blinding flash of light the world came remade
Vague my life, A distant shadow filtered through my mind
And dreamed my lovers kiss subdued the emptiness inside

I watch a thousand ships go by

From the cliffs above the helpless tide

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste Within

Pretending nothing's to take the place of our disappearing Words
Silence where the water flows and where our actions blur

So angels kiss the brows and lips and pull the strings Inside
Waiting for the firelight to bring tomorrow home

I watch a thousand ships go by
From the cliffs above the raging tide

I raise my chin to the god within

As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page

Fills every breath and every taste Within

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page

Fills every breath and every taste

I raise my chin to the god within
As to carry fear with a failing grin
And blizzard rage fills every page
Fills every breath and every taste Within

7. HEAVEN'S GAZE (ACOUSTIC TEARS EDIT)

Shades of feelings my heart denies

Bathing in shadows hidden in the eyes of lies
My glowing future now these embers burn
Uncanny restlessness- but ask me what I've
Learned...

Prey insect visions swarm about my head
Each haunted thought, and each prying wedge

Slice ripping pieces and shredding pages of life
If this is real- well it feels like hell! yes it feels
Like Hell!

Gods and angels and devils smile
Stare into our crying eyes
Fire in anger and hate beguile

But look into your heart tonight.

We disregard the cold pedestrian grey
Where level playing fields weren't meant for us
To play
As riddled failings salvation turns away
If this is real- well it feels like hell! yes it feels

Like Hell!

Gods and angels and devils smile
Look into our crying eyes
Fire in anger and hate beguile
But look into your heart tonight.

Gods and angels and devils smile
Stare into our crying eyes
Fire in anger and hate beguile
But look into your heart tonight.
