Shadow Drifter

Sinking into the shadows
Cold steel pressed against my body
Keeping my secrets inside
Keeping my soul from harm

I can feel you around me
Pushing me on
The wind blows the empty trees
And my soul is carried onward

I can see the shadows moving against the light
The glass is starting to crack
As the ground moves under my feet
Until my feet no longer touch the eart

Cold steel pressing into my hand
The moonlight opens paths never before seen
My body moves as water
Carried upwards on the currents of motion

Shattering sounds all around me
Lights trying to survive against the darkness
I can feel your soul
I can feel you inside my head

Shattering steel brings relief
to my tortured soul
As the light fades
Your eyes tell the tale

Of one who walks the shadow's endless line
The line to life
The line of death
Shadow Drifter

Chemistry

I think we have an emergency
I can feel you inside of me
I think there's everything at stake
You've become the only one I can see

Everything else seems fake
And I'm loosing control
Into the gray
I'm losing my soul

I'm not sure what I can say
To make you see what is inside my head
I'm always inside I waking dream
Where rivers are everything I've never said

Nothing is what it seems
All I can feel is our chemical reaction
I'm loosing all my grip
I'm loosing all my traction
I'm living inside a dream
I'm loosing my grip
All I can feel is your chemicals inside my blood stream
And I'm lost inside this dream
Where nothing is what it seems
Except you and me
Caught together
Forever we are free
In a world full of our chemistry

Good Enough

I have sold my soul into slavery
To give you the best of everything
I worked until blood mixes with tears
Just to give you the best of my years

Sleepless rest, Restless Sleep
Giving everything I don't have to give
Until you toss me like a stone
Grind my flesh into my bone

My grave being dug by my own hands
Trapped into a coffin of eternal night
All for what? Why do I burn my soul into dust?
To have my dreams left to rust

Into a darkened pit of darkness you place me
Pushing me behind my back
Watching as I fall into the night
Out of my mind, out of your sight

I have broken tethers my body soul and mind
Worked hard to gain solid footing
I will not have you blindly cast me away
I will not fade into the endless gray

I will burn brightly without you
I will crush you beneath endless waves
And then you will be swallowed by the sea
And everything left to give will be given for me
