I Could (lyric)

I could cry
let go, 
the tears
fall from my eyes
Head low,
crumble the disguise
I could cry

I could fall
Drop down to knees
and crawl
Let despair
eat my soul
Collapse beneath 
it all

I could die
Toss off the reigns
and resign
Slip the threads
of life
Fill a hole
with selfish strife

I could stand
Take hold of destiny's
hopeful hand
Replace excuses
with harder plans
What's past isn't mine
to command

It might not be easy
but 
I could stand

I could

I Could

Demo, so I wouldn't forget.

Abandoned

Unbroken fields of flame
I hear the cries
Forsaken screams of shame
old bitter lies

No bidden promise of today
forfeit chance of sleep
Called to the pinions of regret
lost forces creep

(Wear souls)
'ware souls
Where souls...
...fall

Forever climb 
nowhere's abyss
Shards pierce the veil of time
Abaddon's kiss

Fly fools forget me not
no turning back
All that is found was sought
no fade to black

(Wear souls)
'ware souls
Where souls...
...fall

Hope abandoned
Love unanswered
Burnt oblivion
Nothing's forgiven
All is lost
Nothings found
Lying in the ground

Paths

To all Inspired
Feed that Fire
Grow it Higher
Release

To all who're Driven
Much is Given
Much Expected
Release

For all Abandoned
Take my Hand
Tree one Stand
Release

For all Directions
Paths, Intentions,
All Dimensions
Release

Letting go and letting be
proffered principalities
Reclaiming paths to what is real inside
Often sought and seldom found
internal voice with gentle sound
singing soft the soliloquies of truth
from memories of youth

To all Inspired
Feed that Fire
Grow it Higher
Release

To all who're Driven
Much is Given
Much Expected
Release

Introspection
Released.

Lil Thing

Do you know the name
of the voice that resides
inside your mind?
Of course you know the way
it tells you
wrong from right...

Little thing called "conscience",
where are you from?
Little thing called "conscience",
that's alive, and inside,
of everyone.
Like you know the time
that it told you not to go
and you did it
anyway.

Then you came to find
that things didn't go
quite your way?

Little thing called "conscience",
where are you from?
Little thing called "conscience",
that's inside, and alive,
in everyone.

Boss man's comin'
so ya betta begin.
Boss man's comin'
so ya betta begin.
Told you more then once.
Gonna tell you again.
Boss man's comin
so ya betta begin.

Time is now, time is right
to now start fresh
and to live right.
Move along 
the best we can
fulfill our parts
in the Master Plan.
Time is now.
Time is right
now.

Wish Upon Rock

Sometimes I wish
I could play the guitar
So I could stop being a fool
and try to act like a star
And drive around
in  a great big car
But to me now
it just seems so far
away...

Sometimes I wish 
I could plunk on a bass
I'd get up there on stage
try to give everyone a taste
and face all those bills
I thought could never be faced
but to me now, you know,
it just seems such a waste
today...

Someone times I really wish
I could bang on a drum
I'd give up my job
just become
a rock bum
And sit around
neurotically numb
but to me now
it just seems so dumb
today...

If you wish upon rock today
maybe your dreams just won't fade away
into realities...

Wish Upon Rock

Butterfly

Butterfly,
literally chromatic in your dance.
Rise up now,
on the fleeting winds of chance.
For the day will soon be sending you,
swiftly changing and softly mending you,
to make the way for others
such as you
not yet new.

Spread your wings.
On warm breezes shall you ride.
Rise up now.
Meet your mate up in the sky.
For all though you don't have long,
my friend 
you know you still have your song.
So dance until the sun bids
fair ado.
I'll miss you,
Butterfly.

Renee’s Valentine

If you believe in love
so much to share
And I believe in love
and love I’ll share

When I look into your eyes I see
the daylight calling me to be
The sun reflected as the wind does share
the vibrant crown that is your hair
Smile shared.

From the belief in love
comes need to give
For you I’d sing my love
for your love I’ll live

And carousel thoughts ‘pon a windmill plane
tilting no thoughts unto the sky
I treasure each and every day with you
You complete me, Valentine.

Closer grow our hearts
as we intend.
Closer grow our hearts
my best friend.
Closer grow our hearts
and love abound indeed
Closer grow our hearts
Love, from me.
