When all the colors turn to grey
I disappear and fade away Somehow I’ve fallen far from grace And with nothing left to say I turn my head now to the stars And I pray Like a beacon in the dark I feel you now shining as my northern star Within the Labyrinth of my heart A never-ending piece of art So I frame the canvas of the past And restart So who can really say What is meant to stay this way? Chorus Unleash the warrior inside Light up the shadows of your mind Feel the echo that is surfacing, that is this life Redefine the evils of your mind And ignite So welcome back my weary friend The silence comes to sit and talk with me again The fire burns the need to defend There is no longer need to pretend The starlit sky illuminates my soul; I transcend So can you open up that door? What are you remembered for? Chorus Time to stop hiding my edges Time to let go of the ledge If I have faith To face all my fears Then what am I still doing here? Time to believe that I’ll fly I don’t want to fade away tonight So here with the rain I let go of my pain And now I ignite Now I ignite Chorus And now I ignite (let go of the pain) And now I ignite (feel the warmth of the rain) And now I ignite And now I ignite.

You look at me as if I’m real
A memory; sunlit Sunday A testament to what we feel Embracing new moments of clarity No critique, just honesty Enchantment follows suit Every word has set me free But oddly leaves me mute For once these words, inadequate Indescribable thought pervades Incomprehensible beauty here With forehead kisses, all doubt fades Finally comfortable in my own skin Hypnotized effervescent glow Radiating a future of indescribable hue For now untamed, we share a view. Head exploding
Faith imploding Trying hard to ease foreboding Feeling sickly Kill them quickly (Rage and heartache oozing thickly) Life malfunction Lost compunction Time to part ways at this junction Search a savior Ask for favor Leaves me now with bitter flavor Redirection Sought affection Sitting peaceful; eased reflection Tears have faded Sadness jaded Glad to say I now have made it! Found my Thunder Blissful wonder Stressful moments torn asunder Forward going Ever knowing Laughter present, smile showing Something simple Ordinary Life is now extraordinary. If I gave you my best, would you show me a smile or simple disinterest
Or maybe this is just an unbeatable test In a world of impossible and frustrating unrest As I try to outrun the insomnia and guess Whether or not this hot mess can even handle the stress While at odds and confused by this life’s game of chess So now I must claim to profess that in all actuality I’m really clueless As I protest unstoppable progress and impress Upon you the reason for what must now be suppressed And suggest to you options; you can indubitably acquiesce To possess what against all odds I must try to express But alas I transgress in all that I now try to confess In trying to keep the right frame of mind, I’ll finesse That in this rhyme I infest an insurmountable success To all that I coalesce, the mind’s eye must digest And invest in a weaving of aggress while you guess Where is this all headed; to what end dispossess? For by now you are thinking it’s a bit in excess To obsess and depress without proving…unless! I’ve forgotten a promise, but I shrug demure noblesse For here we are now at the end, nonetheless. |
