Dark Matters Part I
And the night spins around in shiver As the black reaches from behind In a face of a long held fear It smiles back from an empty heart And you pray there’s something still left inside To keep you sane till the morning lights But they don’t come to you They don’t come They don’t come to you Angels and demons in disguise You just can’t tell, no It’s Hell or Paradise Somewhere between you choose to surrender to the tides Feeling the waters over your shoulders Blackening your skies (They don’t come to you) And you pray for someone to come in time (They don’t come to you) To keep you sane till the morning lights (They don’t come to you) And you pray for someone to hold you tight (No one will sail through these waters For your black cold eyes) And keep you safe till the morning lights (And no one will pick up the pieces Of your empty heart) They don’t come to you They don’t come They don’t come to you

Thrown in the winds of time Nothing but faith beneath me Steering through black and white And eyes full of lies Forsaking it all this time All but this faith beneath me Into the blizzard of life I’ll be waiting for the sun Come to me, come to me undone Where the rivers don’t dry Where the hearts don’t bleed And where the feelings never change Come to me, come to me Where the rivers don’t dry Where we still remember What it feels to be alive Swirling through wrongs and rights Chained to this faith beneath me Into the storm’s blind eye I glimpse at the sun Nothing to hold on tight None but this faith beneath me Waiting the waters of March To pour and shift the tides Come to me, come to me undone Where the rivers don’t dry Where the hearts don’t bleed And where the feelings never change Come to me, come to me Where the rivers don’t dry Where we still remember How it feels to be alive Nothing but faith beneath me

And it’s just like the bit Of history we’ve been destined for Is this how you believed it was supposed to be The moment you’ve waited for Are you paid for and free Are you guaranteed Enough to satisfy The moment you’ve waited for The moment you’ve waited for You’ve been chasing it down to make sure it comes around waiting And it’s finally here Is it finally enough to satisfy The hole in your heart that’s finally grown impossible When you cover your eyes Do your feet stomp to the shining lights Does it make you believe that you’re living the dream You’ve hungerly waited for I just pray that it is Just as much as you wish Enough to pacify The moment you’ve waited for The moment you’ve waited for You’ve been chasing it down to make sure it comes around waiting And it’s finally here Is it finally enough to satisfy The hole in your heart that’s finally grown impossible And you slip through the rain drops Tryin’a stay in the sun Nothing troubles your waters Now you’ve gotten your moment So remember it right As it fades into nothing In a blink of an eye

Off goes the light And I go down with the curtain Off to the real world Off goes the dream And I can hear nothing but silence Out of the limelight And this silence built our separate ways Out of unspoken blame With no word With no say We have forsaken each other’s pain And here we’re writing the book Of wasted days Words in the wind Guilt thrown in vain And we’re wasting the days that we got Did we disagree Or we were thrown in the slander Of someone’s agenda Whom to believe When there’s just personal truths That we have to choose from And yet we’re writing this book Of wasted days Words in the wind Lives spent in blame We’re just wasting the days that we got And here we’re writing the book Of wasted days Words in the wind Guilt in the way And we’re wasting the days that we got Words in the wind Time thrown away We’re just wasting the days that we got Words in the wind Lives lived in vain We’re just wasting the days that we got

It’s just a mirror, my friend But you are keep looking away There you are There you’re not A shiny face of shame You’re shedding your skin And you’re shedding your skin again And you run But you’re eyes still look the same In your brain And your eyes keep playin’ it over and over again In your brain And I say This ain’t you anymore You’ve been circling around your way But I’ll pray for you And I’ll say to you There’s more to this endless game If for a moment you open your eyes And cry these tears of burning pain You’ll see a river You’ll see a river that flows your way Just cross the river And let it wash this hurt away It’s OK, just stop and breathe in You ran so far from yourself Here no one knows your name You say that you’ve changed And you say that you’ve changed for good And you’re fine But the winter’s back again In your brain And the toxic thoughts start dripping down like rain In your brain It’s insane Just how dark can it get To be cut so adrift from your way But I’ll pray for you And I’ll say to you You’re more than what’s in your brain If for a moment you open your eyes And cry these tears of burning pain You’ll see a river You’ll see a river that flows your way Just cross the river And let it wash this hurt away And I say This ain’t you anymore You’ve been circling around your way But I’ll pray for you And I’ll say to you There’s more to this endless game If for a moment you open your eyes And cry these tears of burning pain You’ll see a river You’ll see a river that flows your way Just cross the river And let it wash this hurt away Insane In Your Brain

I am the words we never say out loud Looking at each other I am the feeling that is fading out While we’re hurting one another Shuffled in the cards I will come to you Cause you wear more than one skin Hidden in the doubts I will poison you And I’ll take you down with me I am the thought that keeps us awake at night While shutting off each other I am the fire burning through our minds While we’re proving wrong the other Shuffled in the cards I will come to you Cause you wear more than one skin Hiding in the doubts I will poison you And I’ll pay you back in guilt Here in the desert of life We built an isle Yet we’re tossing cold and blue It’s just a game plan of life It’s just a mile In the end it’s me and you Shuffled in the cards I will come to you Cause you wear more than one skin Hidden in your thoughts I will poison you And I’ll watch you as you sink Shuffled in the cards I will come to you Cause you bear more than one sin A shadow to your grit I will poison you And I’ll make you pay with guilt

In the dark skies I can hide away Be all to myself again In these dark skies where nobody cares I’ll strip down my soul and pray I’m home again And then I will try to breathe again Cause it’s closer and closer This endless depth And it’s closer so closer This never ending night Been riding so long Just waiting for you to come by I’ve too much to tell Yet too much to hide Hope you listen Hope you tell Hope there’s something worth keeping safe Hope someday you’ll remember My name I‘m getting closer to where I’ll be taking that one last breath I hope we get closer somewhere But I’m afraid now I’ll have to say Farewell And I’m watching the waves Bring and take what the ocean has Where I’ve started from And what I became And I’ve been paddling hard Paddling through hurricanes With this song that’s With this song that is nothing but sad Cause I‘m getting closer to where I’ll be taking that one last breath I hope we get closer somewhere But I’m afraid now I’ll have to say Farewell And the dark skies are waiting Waiting for me I, can I Just stay here a moment more Breathe just a moment more I, can I Feel it once more Like I’m still alive Once more to smile and to weep Can I? I in these dark skies I still crave for life I in these dark skies I still carry light Yet I‘m getting closer to where I’ll be taking that one last breath I hope we get closer somewhere But I’m afraid now I’ll have to say Farewell Hope I see you See you somewhere I’m afraid time has come to say Farewell

Welcome to life You should have known better I trust you chose when to arrive Should’ve known better I know there’s not much to hold by Come truth, come honor We could have been wise We could’ve been braver And I know it’s no good I know it’s not right To preach as a father to a child When all left behind Is egos in error And yet I try To best these times And pray you will find A way to be much better There’ll be oceans of what ifs To drown in your worried mind There’ll be deserts of could haves I’ve seen them, I’ve been there Should you find yourself running Just make sure you run straight high But remember it’s a hard fall Down from the desert skies Future and past, can’t hold no whether It’s all black or white, it’s all bad or better And I know you will judge I know you’ll “high ground” I won’t say you ain’t got the right But remember I tried Tried to make it better So dare and try I hope you thrive Cause some of us fly And some just move air There’ll be eyes full of envy Trying to burn every boat you sail They’ll be righteous and godlike Just see them and beware There’ll be stardust and shimmer And words full of golden lies But remember it’s all just A shine in the desert skies Life is nothing but trial To see what you make of it Faith will throw you around To see what you’re made of So make up your choices and stick with your faith Cause everything’s there in your hands Just make sure you play this with a good heart and grace You’ll fly, higher you’ll fly A speck in the desert, a moment in time A blink of an eye A breath in the wind, just a drop of the flood A star in the night sky And I’m down on my knees, child Praying that you’ll be good Praying you’ll keep on the right side I mean it, I feel that If you’re trapped at a dead end Just praying for it to be through Make a wish on the shooting stars Up in the desert skies
