You’re the man who’s walking with the shadows
Just like it’s judgment day
And you weren’t at the trail
Cause you’ve got nothing left to say

Standing there, amidst the quiet chaos
Just like a falling sound
And you wouldn’t turn to face me
Although your feet left the ground

You’re the one who’s always in the distance
Just like a memory’s past
And you couldn’t ask assistance
That might knock you from your cast

Staring there, as if a silent witness
Just like a newborn cry
Hold your breath and that might help you
To reduce your will to try

Sometimes I wish I had a bottle
It would be made of glass
Maybe that would make it special
Or maybe make it last
It would contain a heartfelt message
Once swept up by the sea
It would travel across the depths, I know
A gift to you from me


And over the rocking waves it’d go (…go…)
And over the endless blue
And past the darkest secrets (…secrets…)
Because a promise can come true

And over the rushing streams it’d slide (…slide…)
And over the purest green
And past the midnight revelations (…lations…)
My words will cause a scene


Sometimes I wish I had this bottle
To let it out so sea
Maybe that would make it easier
For you to notice me
It could remain a man-made castle
To shield our truth from time
And you would place it on the family mantle
And say it wasn’t mine


And over the rocking waves it’d go (…go…)
And over the endless blue
And past the darkest secrets (…secrets…)
Because a promise can come true

And over the rushing streams it’d slide (…slide…)
And over the purest green
And past the midnight revelations (…lations…)
My words will cause a scene


Yes, at times I wish I had this bottle
Like a casing for my heart
But to think it might affect you deeply
Would be the ending of a start
Although my words do long to tingle
The shapes that make you smile
I know you claimed it’d be much wiser
To stick to things worthwhile...

You're welcoming their loud applause
A thunderstorm of little paws
Yet unbeknownst of you it dies
Just like the fire in your eyes

You're keeping warm their hungry mind
A helping shadow for the blind
Yet unbeknownst of you they stray
Just like echoes of yesterday

Enchanté


Sweet, sweet mystery
Let no one know your name!
Are you lost or afraid?
Oh, will you tell me?

Sweet, sweet tragedy
Let no one steal your fame!
Do you know who's to blame?
Oh, will you help me?

No, I am not like you....
I am not like them....
I am simply here
Watch me disappear

I am nothing more
Than all that I say
And our words relate
Watch me hesitate

Sweet, sweet melody
Let no one find your frame
Are you calm or estranged?
Oh, you compell me

Sweet, sweet remedy
Let no one claim your game
Are you asleep or awake?
Oh, you held me

No, I am not like you....
I am not like them....
I am simply here
Watch me disappear

I am nothing more
Than all that I say
And our words relate
Watch me hesitate
Watch me hesitate
Watch me hesitate
Watch me...

Before it's too late

Garden of the Forgotten


Like the sculptures in the dark
A niche inside a memory
Standing vacant and alone
In the dust of failing shelter

Like a library of dreams,
Where bookmarks lead to no man's land
Acting as a hidden storage
For the last of your brave remains

The Reaper


Yes, to harvest adoration
A common goal it is
Yet let the harvester be warned
If foul intentions are the reaper
The fruits shall never be as sweet

River Lilies

Like fire in the water
Suggested by the sun
Awakening the passions
That, in mind, have begun

Like flames 'cross the pavement
Designed by the wind
Her colours will touch you
Before you have sinned
