Just another eve
Another star
Another night
To paint our lives
Across the canvas
Of the seconds passing by
Just another eve
Another thought
Another dream
To tuck away
Under the covers
Of a constellated sky
Just another eve
Another smile
Another tear
To fill the ocean
Of our lonesome
Sort of regal mysteries
Just another eve
Another heart
Another beat
To change the course of
Our tomorrow
If tonight you can believe
Dark–dwelling inside of your eyes
Cold and unfeeling disguise
Is this the way you decide
Our future?
Dark–just like your arrogant mind
Whirring like gears at the grind
Is this the way you decide
What we do here?
Break all of your wires and
Take all these desires you
Fight, holding to power but
I don’t need your vintage of
Hate–or is it just how you
Think? All your emotions
Erased as the machines have
Replaced your senses
Blank–nothing computes in your
Brain. What is there left here to
Say? You cannot process my
Way of dreaming
Wake–make your way back to a
Place we can recover this
Face you manufactured to
Save composure
Break all of your wires and
Take all these desires you
Fight, holding to power but
I don’t need your style of
Hate–or is it just how you
Think? All your emotions
Erased as the machines have
Replaced your senses
Being alive will always
Come with circumstances we can’t change
These bitter nights will always
Come with chances for a brighter day
Sometimes the fight will take us
Far away from where we want to be
But it’s alright to lose your
Focus for a moment if you need
I will dream for you
And believe in bigger things
You don’t have to make it through
I will bear you on my wings
When your hope is gone
And the world is wrong
Let your heart be calm
I will dream for you
We all need something that is
Far too large for us to do alone
We all need someone who can
Find us when we lose our way back home
We all need dreams that help us
See the world like no one else before
We all need keys that let us
Open up our deepest inner doors
I will dream for you
And believe in bigger things
You don’t have to make it through
I will bear you on my wings
When your hope is gone
And the world is wrong
Let your heart be calm
I will dream for you
Look to the clouds
Leave the ground
Take your place above the earth
Nothing here can hold you down
You were made to take the wing
Enlist the breeze
Find release
Take your place above the earth
See your purpose from the air
Put your faith in better things
Just as the birds defy the dirt
And are not afraid to fall
You must climb beyond this hurt
You must move beyond these walls
Nothing here can hold you down
You were made to take the wing
See your purpose from the air
Place your faith in better things
Fragile, the nature of us, being fashioned
Of flesh or of bone or of both being fastened
And woven together, though temporal being
Through course unexplained and, by force, no one seeing
To conquer, to hunger, to draw ever closer
Impeccable faults like impossible lovers
Unwinding by fate, perhaps, choice being loosened
In turn we are chosen; in pain we are proven
In wearing, like garments, we serve out our purpose
Till death do us part or calamities hurt us
Too easily severed, too short in our lasting
We die without answers and live without asking
Yet in our existing, though brief and unstable
In seeking we dream to be, if we are able
Intwined with another by strings or such things
As God in his love and the meaning it brings
With hands as hearts
Across the gulf
In silence marks
The state of us
For words un-spoke
A phantom touch
Our feelings wrote
With shapes and such
With hands as hearts
By fingers made
In times apart
Can speak and say
This passing chance
I take at risk
To steal your glance
And show you this
With hands as hearts
Expressions drawn
In resolution
Hushed and calm
For distant eyes
And captive views
A thought implied
That “I love you”
Wounded child
Lift your head
You are safe here
Broken heart
Take your rest
You are safe here
In the end everything will fade away
Until then there is still a hiding place
When the world seems a heavy weight to bear
Keep your faith child keep your faith
Find the future
Take the moments you’ve been given
Be the dreamer
Make a life that’s worth the living
There are plans that are much larger than you see
When you do not understand what they may be
Just remember
You have a future
Empty hands
Join again
You are safe here
Tired eyes
Sleep tonight
You are safe here
In the dark it is hard to see the cause
There is hope for the weary and the lost
Don’t forget there will always be a choice
Keep the faith child keep the faith
God are we children of your charity
Are we in your grace
God are we broken in divinity
Have we gone astray
God are we messengers of better things
Are we in the way
God are we fragments of your sovereignty
What have we to say
God are we victims of depravity
Are we really good
God have we spoken from sincerity
Do we have your word
God are we children of the reconciled
Are we as you thought
God are we driven by humanity
Are we on our own
God are we children of a higher king
Can we rise above
God are we soldiers for a purer cause
Do we fight for love
Taken for the thought of being far
Still asleep beneath the stars
Earth is not so very large
Not as big as, say, my heart
Spoken in the darkness for a thought
How my love for you is not
Regulated by the mile
But is free within my heart
They could fire you away into orbit
They could send you out beyond the galaxy
That could never ever change for a moment
That my love for you is bigger than these
When away
I will keep you here with me
In a way
You can never truly leave
When I say
That my love for you is strong
What I mean
Is that it’s everywhere you go
And I know that you can’t hear the things I say
Or see the lines I’m writing on this page
I know that you may wonder if I’ve changed
But I will always love you when away
Make faces at the lemons
Life provides for flavoring
Don’t cry for broken wishes
Life is full of better things
You and I were made for dancing
Let the rhythm lead you on
I know it isn’t easy
But it’s worth another song
Don’t stop looking up
Pinky promise you will smile tonight
Lady you’ve cried enough
Everything will be alright
We have so much more to do
So much to be thankful for
So I’m going to smile for you
Knowing that I love you more
Stop swinging punches darling
No one is attacking you
Everyone loves you so much
Don’t say you don’t know it’s true
Patience is more than virtue
Peace is just a choice you make
Choose the best that you can do
Do the best for heaven’s sake
Hey, the skies are all grey
The horizon is faded
And the light has been drained
The mist sucked the color from out of the leaves
I wept with the clouds when it started to rain
Oh, the sun doesn’t know
The world has grown cold
Out of reach of his glow
In moods of December we danced through the shroud
Trailed by the hint of a shadow below
Hey, we don’t have to wait
For cover of darkness
To come out and play
It’s vampire weather, let’s go for a walk
We can stay lost for the rest of the day
Oh, and when light arrives
When these disguises
Uncover the sky
I’ll stay beside you where I can still find
It’s vampire weather that colors your eyes
