Well its time to clean up the old website a bit... Been meaning to for quite some time now but never really got around to it. The old site had some links that no longer worked because I was hosting the content on a different site that is long gone..
"Through Struggle"
Yeah
Only through struggle have I found rest
With a piece of me taken away
I begin to understand
Hollow out this machine like chest
With its gears that turn to make me feel
And assembled thoughts that fade away
Only through struggle have I found rest
Only through struggle have I found rest
Remove from me (from me)
(This de...) This deception (...ception)
(That I) That I called love (called love)
(That I) That I called love (called love)
Yeah
With its gears that turn to make me feel
And assembled thoughts that fade away
Remove from me (remove from me)
This deception (that I that I)
That I called love (that I called love)
That I called love
Only through struggle have I found rest
With a piece of me taken away
I begin to understand
I begin to understand
I begin to understand
Love
"Confined"
Yeah
That night that I never came home
Wandering souls captured my thoughts
Emptiness filled my mind
Urgency spoke her lies
In the confines of these grey walls
I watched them move together
Taking me places that I cannot remember (remember)
We have been poured out
Into a loveless bride
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
(Yeah)
In a world passing through my fingers
I still chase the wind
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
How quickly I forget
That this is meaningless
Yeah
What have I learned from yesterday?
What have I learned from yesterday?
"The Sound Of Truth"
We have all heard what we wanted to hear
"Truth" that sounds right to our ears
But what wisdom is there within us
To live based on the feeling of our hearts
How many times has instinct let us down
Never to be thought through
Never to be questioned
Say what you really mean
When your ambition calls you
For what use is there in praying
If you will only hear what you want to hear?
We speak of fighting to resist this world
But what about the battle within us?
If we have chosen to live against the grain
Then why are we all facing the same way?
There is no difference between us and them
If we all blindly seek truth from sentiments
"The Darkest Nights"
For so long I have felt alone
Content to live with unrest
Longing faded into countless nights
That buried my weary heart
But You brought an end
To this dead hour
And meaning to a calloused life
Held in Your arms
But too far from my heart
These thoughts
Will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in
These thoughts
Will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in mine
I remember the way you looked at me
And the way you drew
Drew me close
With one deep sigh
Scattering pieces of my
My restless mind
Forgetting all that we have left behind
We have left behind
We have left behind
We have left behind
These thoughts
Will carry me
Through the darkest nights
While your eyes rest in
"I Never Wanted"
I never wanted
And I never cared before
Now take it all back
This is a new day
How I long to regress
To the days before I took upon myself
The obsessions of this world
A day of innocence equating beauty
For tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
Now take it back
This is a new day
I've grown tired of chasing
Convinced I was in need
And now the years I've spent
Only a slave to this
Tomorrow may fall
And today is already gone
I will no longer adore
These things that will never satisfy me
I have seen my world change
And then go back to where it came
In this vicious circle
We are all brought back to life
Only to die again
But without these barren obsessions
I am simply free
"Forever"
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
in that moment
I gave my heart away
in that moment
I gave my heart away (I gave my heart away)
What perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
and all I knew was what had overtaken me
with no reason I am comforted by the inability to understand
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
we tried so hard to understand and reason
but in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
in that moment
I gave my heart away
in that moment
I gave my heart away (I gave my heart away)
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart leaving me transparent
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
"Elegy"
Did you ever see me or could you even see at all
I looked at your cold white face, so still, so empty
Yet I knew you were at,
Knew you were at rest
much more comforted than I
What else could I find to replace who you were
It was the carefree
unrestricted love that
You never meant to give
You never had the choice
You never had the guilt
You never had the choice
It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was the comfort of a friend
You never meant to give
you never had the choice
It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was your innocence
It was the comfort of a friend
It was your innocence
It was part of who you were
It was your innocence
It was the comfort of a friend
