Barrier

Thought I had this
Yeah didn't I
A simple climb
To the sky
But now I'm slipping,
Wishing I could find some thing to break my fall
When I thought I had this
I need you
But I don't know how to get past this
I want you
But I don't know if I can get through it
Through this barrier
Just to get to you
There were moments I reached you
Long before we had to try
What once seemed fragile
Now withstands the tests of time
Barbed wire fences
The scars upon your heart
Lethal defenses
Why did I ever start
Trying to find a way
Through this barrier?
Only hear you say
I shall never pass
Fallen from the sky
Broken on your barrier
Remnants of my heart
Strewn like shards of glass
I need you
So here I am lingering
On the banks of the Acheron, waiting
(I'm not coming back)
I'm still waiting
(I'm not coming back)
Trying
(You shall never pass)
I'm still trying
(You shall never pass, doesn't matter what you do)
I need you
But I don't know how to get past this
I want you
But I don't know if I can get through it
Through this barrier
Just to get to you

Always Be There

Now is the time to tell you
What I never should have to
I've seen the fear that grips you
Wondering what your world is coming to
In the midst of a broken promise
When all that is cherished is down to you
Though you will rarely see me
I swear that I'll always be there for you
We've spent the best of days together
We know, we know it should've been forever
I can't imagine, imagine what you're going through
I only know, that I'll always be there for you
A sudden pain, it grips you
Seems like your breath cannot get through
In the midst of all these broken promises
There is one thing you can hold true
That I'll always be there for you
We've spent the best of days together
We know, we know it should've been forever
I can't imagine, imagine what you're going through
I only know, that I'll always be there for you
I may never live this down
and you have not done one thing wrong
I will die a thousand deaths for this
My dreams, shattered, at what's befallen you
we'll spend, we'll spend more days together
We have...we have to make 'em last forever
It doesn't matter, no matter what you're going through
Just lay it all on me, 'cuz I'll always be there for you

Endless Days
06:40
|
|||
Early morning waiting
On a new sunrise
A long night of mourning
Has helped clear me eyes
All the endless times
You were never there
Oh, I was only slightly aware
Of all these, all of your ways
Through all those endless days
The final morning
I get to hold you tight
Feeling pain so blinding
I've clearly lost all sight
Endless sunlight, endlessly fading
Endless awakening, endless sleeping
Endless laughter, endless weeping
I don't want to have another day
But it's given anyway
But we can change it
It can change
Endless transformation
Endless days
Early morning, awakened
I catch the new sunrise
Endless days awaiting
It's time for opened eyes
All these endless times
I will be there
Oh, an end will come
Of that I'm well aware
Up until that time
I change my heart and ways
For life fulfilled
In our endless days

Odessa
05:56
|

The whistle blows
While the doors close
As I watch her depart
The earth is tremblin'
That train is movin'
My heart braces for another day...away
As she hits the vanishing point
She enters the view of another
Oh, if I could only
Take the train to Odessa
Leave behind all the pain
On a train ride through Odessa
Through the torrential rain
A blissful smile and sudden anger
From such a kind and gentle soul
Will we arrive at our destination?
Will we arrive before we're too old?
Enamored by her stunning beauty
Mystified by her ports of call
If there was just one destination
I'd be where I belong
Try to get to her true nature
Identify with her true soul
We arrive at the next station
For this I had longed
Here we are
all smiles and laughter
what could befall us
at our favorite port of call?
Blissfully, we ignore
The writings on the wall
Another night, another...
We took a train ride to Odessa
Left behind all the pain
Visions of Odessa
I still remember the rain
Her blissful smile, her stunning beauty
Such a kind and gentle soul
We've arrived at our destination
We've arrived and now we're too old

500 Miles
04:44
|

Sitting silent, close together
I stare at eyes that are looking elsewhere
If I say I love you, would you even care?
Would you look, and smile my way?
When I try to hold you, are you even there?
Right beside me, but you're so, so far away
I would run 500 miles
To be with you again
For I long to feel your laughter
And see your smiling face
The distance grown between us
Fuels my pain and my despair
I would run 500 miles
If love would take me there
But every time I try to talk to you
I'm standing in this cold silence
If I could find the road that leads to you
I would travel through the heart of the darkness
Cuz I've always loved you
And I always will
Always loved you
And I always will
Lost and searching for the road that leads to you
I must travel through the heart of the darkness
Right through the heart of this darkness
Cuz I've always loved you
And I always will
Always loved you
And I always will
But we have grown apart for so long
Don't know if I can get back to you
The distance grown between us
Fuels my pain and my despair
I would travel any distance
If our love would take me there
I would run 500 miles
To be with you again
For I long to feel your laughter
And see your smiling face
The distance grown between us
Fuels my pain and my despair
I would travel any distance
If our love would take me there

Early Eclipse
06:59
|
|||
I cried out
You came to me
With love and comfort in your arms
Hold me in your arms
And calm this weeping child
Hold me in your arms
I feel the life in your touch
Sunlight shines on us
We play on, up until the day
You call out
I run to you
Too late, life's light has swiftly slipped away
Our time had just begun
Friends, love and games to learn
Our time had just begun
An early eclipse came and took you from my eyes
Tears will never be enough
As they fall I pray to God
Ask in the name of love
Pray with all my heart
Ask in the name of love
I believe, I will see you again
My heart is lonely still
Once thriving in your love
Now must be moving on
Lonely paths are all that seem to lie ahead
And I am so afraid to travel to the end
You cry out
I run to you
With love I lift you in my arms
Hold you in my arms
And calm my weeping child
Hold you in my arms
I feel the life in your touch
I look back, loved ones gone
From far away their love passes on
I look down, you at my side
I pray to always be here to fill your needs
Our time has just begun
Friends, love and games to learn
Our times have just begun
No eclipse to ever come and take me from your eyes
As I have the light of life
With every breath I pray to God
Ask in the name of love
Pray with all my heart
Ask in the name of love
I will pray forever to be with you

Wesley Save Us
04:31
|

You’re looking kinda high
While you’re distracted low
So much to see
But no need to go
You’re screen enraptured
You tap, tap, tap, the days away
The virtual socialite
You’re virtually everywhere
Asking what’s this feeling?
Just google loneliness
You don’t know what this does to us
(You don’t know what it means to be)
For each moment that comes and disappears
(You’re not there)
We forgot what it means to be
(You’re not there)
Wesley save us from this game
I care a little less
‘bout what you have to say
I’m a little busy
Texting anyway
This palm attachment
It rules the waking day
Tells me what to do
Tells me where to go
When I forget
It tells me what to know
Oh blessed oracle,
The very screen of life
You don’t know what this does to us
(You don’t know what it means to be)
For each moment that comes and disappears
(You’re not there)
We forgot what it means to be
(You’re not there)
Wesley save us from the pain
Tough times at work
Better take that vacay
An infinite tether
You’ll never get away
Your work attachment
To that you’ll gravitate
Our cultures are fading
They’ve seen a better day
Etiquette is dying
It’s surely passed away
Say a benediction
Our addiction paves the way
