Won’t accept the evidence
This cannot be true
Those words manifest
Internal fears that I never knew
Defend me from truth
The messages are coming through
Don’t know how to protect myself
Or where I should run away to
A deal with the devil
Will not change your fate
Finding the power inside
To reinforce your armored plate
You will not be defeated
Keep up the hope and fight
To maintain your strength
Through your journey in this darkest night
Logic has failed me now
Trapped inside here helplessly
Distorted thoughts
I am my own worst enemy
Contort the mind
To discover the strength inside of me
Prognosis unknown
Questioning what is my destiny?
This parasite consumes the soul
How is this my reality?
The treatment is torture
To destroy this monster inside of me
Disguised as the cure
This is not just simple brutality
The evidence is grim
To signal my own mortality

You’re a lonely soul in a crowded world
Haunted by memories of the past
A public face hiding private pain
How long can this lie last
You kept yourself in silence
As you live your daily life
Not believing it will all work out
Suffering cuts just like a knife
There are strange angels who come into your life
There are strange angels who won’t give up the fight
There are strange angels who you would not expect
There are strange angels who are here to protect
They may not be what you want
But might be what comes through
Keep your eyes and your heart open
For strange angels to come to you
You try to put it behind you
And to move on from that place
Struggling down this lonely path
Praying something will fall into place
You try to build up the strength to fight
Run from demons, chasing a dream
Although it feels impossible
It’s not as hard as it seems
The journey continues to unfold
As you travel this life you create
There are ups and downs with highs and lows
Don’t fear strange twists of fate
A caring hand pulls you back
And helps you find your way
Reaching into darkness to find your light
Live to fight another day

Captured by a mental disease
Genetics tie, behaviors bind
Attempts to reclaim sanity
Trapped within a child’s mind
Cycling out of control
The rules change constantly
Can’t anticipate the next move
Just approach it cautiously
Show me your sins and I’ll show you my scars
Damage done as the compassion fades
Story written or yet to be fulfilled?
A path of broken bulbs and razor blades
Comply with the common world
Surrounded by insanity
Faced with assured break down
Never reaching capacity
Try to medicate the symptoms
But the illness is too strong to treat
The cure is just a fantasy
Insufficient, incomplete
Attempts to fix the broken
Are met with the harsh reality
There will be no solution
A failed search for normality
Although the crash is certain
Path derailed, destination unclear
Unable to turn, unwilling to stop
No future left to engineer
Even the end does not mean it’s over
Flawed perceptions dance inside your head
Sickness continues to devastate
Causing so much left unsaid

Surrounded by synthetic smiles
Voices chatter, we listen too much
Tell us what to do and how to think
These decisions are made for us
We go along with it all
It’s easier that way
Trapped between love and hate
Lost in haze of our thoughts and blur of our gaze
Try to get out before it’s too late
Chorus
Better life through chemistry
Than to deal with all the pain
Create your own reality
In your mind, you’re not restrained
Thoughts still roll inside your head
Push and pull with no control
They tear you apart and break your heart
Weigh heavy on your soul
Verse 2
False ideas appearing real
We can handle it on our own
No one’s there to help us carry the load
Feel abandoned and alone
Take twelve steps forward to fall back again
With all attempted tries
We change our lives, step by step
Before our spirit dies
Verse 3
Building walls to keep us safe
But ironically, they’re a cage
A false sense of our own security
Hiding pain and strife and rage
How do we trust the voice inside
To listen to facts not lies
Learn how to face our scars and our fears
So the truth is not disguised

She wore her heart upon her sleeve
Gave him everything he needs
She broke down all of her walls
What for, but just to watch them fall
Prepare for the final curtain call
More to breathe you
Then to feel you in my lungs
More to see you
Then to feel you in my arms
She took the pain he felt for years
Washed it away with her own tears
But right in front of her own eyes
He slowly removed all of his disguise
To unleash the truth of his demise
More to breathe you
Then to feel you in my lungs
More to see you
Then to feel you in my arms
The love
The hate
We breathe
Give into me
More to breathe you
Then to feel you in my lungs
More to see you
Then to feel you in my arms

I took a chance on trusting you
Our bond made me feel alive
Looked into my eyes
You couldn’t wait
Told me you loved me
And this was fate
Been wanting a soulmate forever
Began this journey together
Sailed the seas, explored this world
Then you pushed me off
Pushed me off to drown…to drown
Pushed me off to drown…to drown
Losing vision now
Losing strength now
I take my last breath
As I sink down
The waves that flow throw me around
As undertow pulls me down
The tides get stronger as it rains
The shore gets further and further away
Away
Losing vision now
Losing strength now
I take my last breath
As I sink down
I take my last breath
As I sink down
Looked into my eyes
You couldn’t wait
Told me you loved me
And this was fate
Losing vision now
Losing strength now
I take my last breath
As I sink down
I take my last breath
As I sink down

Silently waken and turn from your room
To reveal in the refuge of night
All of your fantasies dark like the raven
Abandon you forced into flight
Twilight surrounding the walk to the forest
This garden of earthly desire
Facing the temple door, shrouded and blinded
Consumed by your destiny’s fire
Lost in the shadows deserted in dreams
All truth is real, but it’s not as it seems
Love gestures outward propelled by the fear
Of returning with lies and hovering near
Timed ancient chronicle, sins of the past
Leaving space for your teardrops to rise
Stumbling forward, ascension denied
Leaving love’s yearning fractured with lies
Leaving love’s yearning fractured with lies

Thank you to the amazing cast of characters that have been a part of my bizarre musical journey. The list is way too long to include, but suffice it to say that there have been many who have entertained, challenged, educated, and inspired me to create my art.
