Path of Destiny

Common cases listening to
Mindless faces far from places
You can call home
Confussion mixed with indecision
The future is not written until
You find the right choices in front of you
At the present moment
Speaking from a cloud blocking your path
Unable to see your way through
Asking us all for direction
Whjen only your own feet
Can lead you down
The path of destiny

Home Again

Locked in a glass box
Four walls closing in so fast
Suffocating stench burns in my lungs
Theres so much more for me to say
Yet these walls closing so fast
Force me away

Im going home again
Tail tucked between my legs
Im headed home again
No fear of failure can find me where i began

Ive taken all I can
Locked in a world so false to being sad
Run around fix and save the world
Taped hands so red it makes me mad

So im headed home again
Start over and find my way
No shame in home again
Failure is lost back where i began

Theres a window looking out
Its greater places have no doubt
Just stop and stand there looking out
Break those bonds through that window shout so loud

Since Ive headed home again
Back to the place where I began
I went home again
To start one more time
Back home again
Left failure where it beongs
Far from home again

Dwelling Lives of a Leader of Men

I have become a leader of men
So young to die for
A country lost inside
its soul needs searching for
I lie awake at night
Thier lives dwell on my mind
It is I who stand alone
Safe and sound I hope to send them home

I am not one to preach aloud
Ill let my hands talk about
All the things a leader of men
Contemplates a need to shout
All you people inside big homes
wake up and stand to shout
For leaders of men are losing ground
and thier yound lives die without a care
from you...to you...For YOU!!

Self Honored Goals

Walking about in a darkness
Yet in the bright light of the day
Not much before me
Even less behind
Sense of purpose dilluted
By the ambitions of others
And the failure to see
What was wrong all along
Right in front of me

Its a misguided set of goals
Or not being in the right place
There are those who share an ambition
To serve not our own need for power
But a purpose just to stand gaurd
On a wall in front of a fence
Protecting a the flag so many choose to ignore

There is little glory in such goals
Only a sense of self honor
And a truth despite the self intrests
Of those reaching for the top
The people know and see
The truth of those simply out
To protect those who cannot do so themselves

Helpless Defender

Here i stand
Defender of the helpless
So weak and small i cant describe
Needing hands to pick them up
No wonder its so small that i not forget them
Oh how i wish there was more to this
Thing or favor i reach out my neck for
How could I
Ever forget
How lonely that u made them feel
So here i am knowing all the things you've done
Words spoken to them so strong at times
No wonder i cant leave them all alone
And every now and then i
Get a memory
Of something i have lost inside
The shuffle of madness driven by that loneliness
Only one side
Ive heard it now
All stories all sides lost from questioning emotions
From now on ill promise not to speak my words
Nor call names until
Ha we only wish
Take it now
Take it away
For u and i know it wont fill emptiness
Its now gone lost far away
Souls intertwined tween to find themselves
That is it leave it all
In the wake of something better than this...life

Lieing Men

Time's divided
It only adds on
There are people around me
Pulling wool over my eyes
Lesson was learned
You take on your life
Leaving nothing to chance
All you walk is forward
Leaving time on top in its shady past

Lieing men all lieing men
All painting over severing cracks
Surrounded by lieing men
Of power and leading new lieing men

Long ago in a young life
Not so in true concepts of time
Dividing line is defined
By self decisions for happiness

When decided now led by dubious fools
Not honest to thier men
Leading them down
Perilious holes

Lieing men led by lieing men
Drawing lines in the sand
No lieing men wont be led
By these lieing men

Find true men honor in men
Lead from the front
With concerns for the back
Lieing men leaving these lieing men
Lieing men hiding...lieing men

Double Locks of Trust

Two of the same
Not one to fall apart
Because we are two hearts
Locked behind our own pain
Lack of trust
To let anyone in
For fears they might see
Just how much alike
And how good we can be
For the enjoyment of happiness

Leading To The End

Leadership means to the end
Its not begin in the front
End in the back
To the end a need to be strong
And show those you lead
The will to go to the ends of hell
To do what must be done

Which One Belongs

In a test of wills
Two for one deal
Some are real some are fake
They come early they come late
Some come fast some crawl along
The test is to find
Which one truly belongs

Debate this in the mind
Reds and browns of the earth
Against the the yellow fire of the sun
Each with the power that they hold
Drawing emotions in too many directions

Reservation Barrier

Walking in early
On a late summer day
Fumbling with my hands
Wondering the next play
Now as we sit here
Rambling on about nothing
Nothings held back from those so sweet
Until another barrier broken down
Between us and these feelings

It there talking looking at each other
Hard to imagine what comes next
Both torn down about what to do
Thinking something great ahead
Held back by our own reservations

Leaving each other
Heading off in separate directions
Looking for different places
Out of sight is far from
Being out of mind
Dwelling on each other
Is this white wonder
Between how we are and how great
We could truly be

Stuck there driving thinking about each other
Dreaming of possibilities coming next
Endless dreams held back from being torn down
What to do but hope for whats ahead
Pushing aside our own reservations

Hours gone by
Each off in different worlds
Apart yet playing on words
Sent between each other

Sitting here its so hard
To deny theres one barrier weakened
By time close to breaking
To tear it down is what needs done next
In order to live the greatness on the other side
And leaving the barrier of reservations behind

Depth of Numbers

Ive been packed in with thousands
Listened and sang along with millions
Hung around with hundreds
Yet only a few can see inside me
See the man I dream to be.
Living life through memories
Days gone by relived in
Flashbacks to an easier time.
They do not change the path
of how i came to be

Far Away Day

Its a big day felt
so far away in a
Different world with different
Faces filled with aniexty
A turning point for one
Feeling all alone so far away.
Looking out my window
Gazing up at the sky
Now I can see what was meant
by being small as dust
Lying under a starry night

Abyss of Time

Lost in the abyss of time
Well wasted from God's nector
lost so deep I
Can fell you down in my
Soul lost to the abyss of time
Time comes and time goes
One constant in this world
It never falters it never fades
We are all stuck in the same place
This Abyss of Time
Searching for what is ours
Searching for what we want
Searching for our own hearts desires
Maybe you are the one I am seeking

At Heart

Shrunken down to nothing
Tossed into the corner
And left for dead
It has become "What have you done for me lately?" now
That supplants loyalty
How such disasters force us
All to become something we are not
At heart, greatness is stored for something more

Traveling On Indecision

Something about this place
My mind seeking familiarity
The struggles along the road of indecision
Like falling rocks on weakened bridges
The signs all around me scream to exit now
Before I lose my sense of direction

Story For A Way

Underneath the bridge and I
Don't know what it is
Scares me down inside and Ive
Got no place to hide

Still underneath the sky where
No highway can hide my eyes
Somehow lost my will
Affects now lost my mind

Somehow lost my way and I
Cant find away to live
Underneath the bridge cause I
Dont know how to live

Using what there is
To shelter out the stares from
Those I fear to live see
Shame returns stares
As contempt and pity know
The reason of pain
Dont know how to go cause I

Somehow need a way
Somehow lost my way and I
Need a way to live

Silly Man Fight For What's Right

Silly man walk away
Silly man go away
Man just go away
From that which fears you most

Turns out well theres a difference
Between what you say
And what I feel
You'll run to your breatheless
Ill stand up for that which is rightous
Till Im old till my soul
Is souless

Perception of Trust

When the perception of trust becomes Crippled
All we can do is rebuild
Which is the hardest thing to do in this world
A feeling mixed with vulnerability and fear
Destroyed by a betrayal

Lessons Of A Mistake

Cannot live with regret
No thought of wrongs past
Only learn and move on

The power of those wronged
Determine how long
Those who caused pain
Now suffering in thier turn

The waiting on both ends
Must reach each other in the middle
At the same time
Between frustration and contempt

For love to continue
Love has to conquer
The pain of memories and forgiveness

Heaven's Help

Heaven help me outa my mind
Reflections of time gone by
Bouncing off wooden walls
A soul trapped in a heart shaped room

Heaven help me outa my head
Ive got more important words to write
About the past
With hope for tomorrow

Place of Dreams

Makes you believe in me
Not lost in your dreams
Yet in a strange place
waiting in this strange place
for you to come in

Nirvana

Dropping through my heart
Why wont this all go away
from me to the end of the world
Where no pain is felt
no loss experienced
Only love found at every corner

Judgement

Consequences of War
Rest between a man and his maker
Not the man and his fellow people
Who asked him to break
What is held so sacred

Control of the World

A king without his castle
Clutching to his crown
Smashed by his own people
Fear not the man or his power
Its the force of the people
When wronged they realize
That the man should run and hide
From the fear of thier masses

Within Arms Reach

What is something to me
That which i have never seen
Left alone felt so close
To the burning hole in my heart
