Siege

Your eyes are like armies
That sack cities in hearts they lay siege to
A pair that Menelaus wouldn't even dare to stare
Even the finest cataphracts could never charge into
The tender spears that march in your vanguard's dare
Woe to this poor conscript...a flimsy armor he unwillingly dons 
Upon which your arrows and maces... merciless and enchanting
Pierce his flesh and breaks his bones
To bring him down to die a lowly infantryman's death
Bloodied and mangled in this battlefield of regret

Unrelenting

Stolen...time
Like water flows and sprays

...in my eyes

What the world and fates can't repay

Me in your light burning bright

On a boat alone with you

Always reminds me of you

Never relenting

Fairytales...

Like barbed wires and minefields lay

...in my mind
Prevents this daring escape

Deep in a stony cold castle
A river that flows to you
I'm always reminded of you
Never forgetting

STIGMATIZE (The Calling)

If I give up on you I give up on me

If we fight what's true, will we ever be

Even God himself and the faith I knew

Shouldn't hold me back, shouldn't keep me from you

Tease me, by holding out your hand
Then leave me, or take me as I am

And live our lives, stigmatized

I can feel the blood rushing though my veins
When I hear your voice, driving me insane
Hour after hour day after day
Every lonely night that I sit and pray

We live our lives on different sides,
But we keep together you and I
Just live our lives, stigmatized

We'll live our lives, We'll take the punches everyday
We'll live our lives I know we're gonna find our way

I believe in you
Even if no one understands
I Believe in you, and I don't really give a damn
stigmatized
We live our lives on different sides
But we keep together you and I
We live our lives on different sides

We're gonna live our lives
Gotta live our lives
We're gonna live our lives
We're gonna live our lives, Gonna live our lives, Stigmatized

Dissolve

Hazy lights on the road before me
Slow like a hundred trees passing
Blurry like the liquid in me
That echoes my engine running
A touch and a flip won’t discern
Ghostly signs and waifish warnings
My intent to dissolve in the morning mist
Together with the random thoughts
The automatic gods of memories insist
Deeper and deeper does the metal paddle sink
Like shards of images in the glass I held
As I drift slowly into the barricades
Alas I am lost forever

Let It Pass Me By

Another day

Another night

I keep waiting

Another way

Another wall

I keep moving

I don’t know if I could let it fly

I don’t know…

I don’t know if I could let it pass…

If I could let it pass me by

Another game

Another rhyme

I keep playing

Another name

Another time

I keep holding

I don’t know if I could let it fly

I don’t know…

I don’t know if I could let it pass…

If I could let it pass me by

Where the river runs

Gazing into the sanctuary
Where the night's edge falls
A chasm of ebony
...a river...of listless souls
Milling in the bank of Charon's fare
I tumble blindly under the boatman's stare
Hark now and in step you shall be
Never again the light you shall see
The beauty..the life you left  for me

What You Give

Who's the one that makes you happy?
Or maybe, who's the one always on your mind?
And who is the reason you're livin' for?
Who's the reason for your smile?

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To ever feel this way.
I love ya so much that I think I'm goin' insane.
I'm goin' crazy, outta my head.
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

Now, ev'ry one needs somebody.
And you know, ev'rybody needs someone.
Well, and a-yes it's true!
Ev'rybody needs a special kind of love,
And you're the only one I'm thinkin' of.
You mean the world to me.

I feel so lonely, yet I know I'm not the only one
To carry on this way.
I love ya so much I lose track-a time,
Lose track of the days.
I'm goin' outta my head,
Goin' crazy, outta my head.
Can't think about nothin' but your good, good love,
And what you give.

It's not whatcha got, it's what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's not what you got, only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, a-but the life you live.
It's the life you live.

You're the one that makes me happy.
And you're the one always on my mind. And yes it's true.
You are my reason, that I've been livin' for
Why can't forever be forever and nothin' more. 

It's not whatcha got, it's what you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.

It's not whatcha got, it's what you give.
And it ain't what it's not, but what it is!

Only what you give, only what you give. It's only what you give.
It's not whatcha got, but what you give.
It's not whatcha got, it's what you give. What you give.
It ain't the life you choose, it's the life you live.
It's only what you give, only what you give, only what you give,
It's not whatcha got, but what you give.
It's only what you give. Only what you give.
