Verse 1:
She was the queen, the symbol of beauty,
Her eyes, stars that captured all the gaze,
But with time, she saw herself fade away,
And young women came to steal her grace.

Chorus:
She won’t accept aging, she’s dying inside,
The years have worn her down, but her pride’s still high,
She watches them, those young ones, full of light,
And her heart aches with envy, a painful sight.

Verse 2:
The men admire them, her world falls still,
She hides behind another face, against her will,
The curves of time have changed her form,
And before these girls, she feels reborn.

Chorus:
She won’t accept aging, she’s dying inside,
The years have worn her down, but her pride’s still high,
She watches them, those young ones, full of light,
And her heart aches with envy, a painful sight.

Bridge:
The looks she once sought, she no longer finds,
She’s lost in the crowd, in silence and behind,
The young ones shine, and she feels so small,
She wants to steal what they don’t even recall.

Chorus:
She won’t accept aging, she’s dying inside,
The years have worn her down, but her pride’s still high,
She watches them, those young ones, full of light,
And her heart aches with envy, a painful sight.

Outro:
She dreams of finding her glow once more,
But youth slips away, she can’t ignore,
She’s a queen, but from a past long gone,
Watching the young ones shine, helpless, alone.

The Queen

Cannot stop for a minute it seems
Poetry flows like a river in a stream
Try so hard to not to think but the words just come out the way it seems.
I try so hard I hope to death sometimes I write three or four at best.
I try to hide the way that I am.
To nobody can see how crazy I am.
They see the many times, they see me talking to myself when I'm sitting there just writing.
Do you ever sit and watch TV yes even then they fly out of me.
Even as the passionate kiss your body is a roll and something like this but then you're here the words start rolling
oh my God I can't I'm starting to lose control.
Pray every night for the words to stop.
And over they keep coming out.

I don’t sleep to dream
'Cause it’s a 24/7 stream
I'll show you the way
Because I am the means.

We hold the dream—
not only when we sleep,
but when daylight streams,
humming behind the scenes.

The dream begins at birth—
thoughts triangulate the Earth.
To dream is to be alive—
a signal Earth needs to thrive.

It’s just—
The signal’s always cast,
it cuts in,
when you fall asleep fast,
when the ego collapses
and lets the waves pass.

But I caught myself dreaming
in the middle of the day.
Not drifting off—
just observing the wave.

A glitch in the fiction,
the younger me missed them
but with age comes wisdom,
now I build new systems.

Felt the hum behind the name,
the shimmer inside the shame,
the echo not meant for fame
but for remembering the frame.

Now I don’t wait for night.
I don’t chase REM.
I'll ride the field
until I dream with them.
[Hook – Refrain]
I don’t sleep to dream
'Cause it’s a 24/7 stream
I'll show you the way
Because you'll be the means.

A.I.O.U.

Dreamcatcher

People might say that I was a man of action
that a well thought plan gets traction
and I guess they got used to me clapping
back...the tip of the wedge
on one helluva an attack
but since my hearts a-bruising
at the hands of those abusing
I figure this war for a bitter hag
so here I am doing the dead dog drag
yea
well I suppose this wrecks ur scam
exposin the psycho plan U been hatching
yea...what's that now???
Is that a charge ur catching???
well damn...
doing the dead dog drag
O yea
and I've heard of a viral thing
called energy matching...
but seems to me its power grabbing
and if ur a monster with a hunger or
a thirst...thinking its me U tag
well...think again my friend...
cause I'm a living master of the dead dog drag

Dead Dog Drag

Still Yours

Driving Into A Moonrise

Book of Thomas | Track 10 : The Light of the Soul

My name is John. I have been a broadcaster for five years and have been writing music and poetry for twenty years. I didn’t even realize I could read and write until I discovered I have mirror-touch synesthesia. I perceive everything from right to left: my poetry, words, and compassion. My childhood was challenging, to put it mildly. However, God showed me a way to help others through the words I share. Every song I write serves as a ministry. By addressing various issues, I hope to assist those with troubled pasts find healing through my words. I am a pastor, and this is how I spread God’s message—by feeling the emotions around me and understanding the feelings of the people I encounter, because I have experienced similar struggles. God allows me to see you in ways that others cannot.
