From "Moments Greater Than You or I"

Without worth and without meaning has what I have felt
Nothing to no one
I am a design flaw to the natural order of life
I am the dirt
I am the cancer walking through your soul
This war has been lost
I will not give in though
Not on my soul
I will not be broken down into dust
Into the coward whose life fell short
Overcoming the adversity
I am not a disease
I am not a tumor and I will not carry one any longer
I am not your sympathy
My strength is born
My heart alive
The air still blowing and my struggle's far from over
But i will sacrifice
For the greater good
For the sun that will rise tomorrow
For I will wake tomorrow
For tomorrow will come

Word As A Virus - The End of the Last Thousand Years

From "Moments Greater Than You or I"

 This is the testimony exhumed from my being. She is the world. Feeling the soles of my feet lift in your presence
and my heart skipping not one but two beats when we kissed. My facade crumbles endearing pieces into an ocean
of lost emotion. Finding again what has brought me my inspiration. I call out, â€œTonight we'll touch the stars. She
replied somewhat muffled by the waves, My love, I long to hold your hands. To feel your arms around my soul.
Thus we began.
Stood out amongst the crashing of water, a divine force reaches and grabs my arms. This is what we have waited
our lives for. Somewhat shaken by it all, her smile instantly heals the barrage of damage brought forth on me.
I am hers. I am her shield.
She is his saving grace. The blood that pumps through his heart.
Never has destiny revealed herself to me like it did that day.
To every piece, there is its match. To every sun there is its moon. To every soul, an angel.
You save my life.

Word As A Virus - They Call it Winter Sickness

From "Moments Greater Than You or I"

 I return to soil
Accept what has been given to me
Many suns and moons have given me time
I am at one with the light
I will stand among the earths spirits
Satellites carry me through air waves
My energy continuing to roam through
Cables and through mind
I am at one with the light
I will burn the antennas and be free

Word As A Virus - The Great Hurt

From "Moments Greater Than You or I"

 healing stitches when i just want to lay in my bed
and be comforted by the delicate touch of insomnia
conjoined with this cancer
we are one
i beg the son to ease this
i bear the scars of this
but i will suffer this. to be closer to you
this test
artificial lights shine on me
before i breathe anesthesia
in my room, the lady in the radiator sings me songs
i ask her, if you sing to me, will you become human
answers escape through your fingertips
as you shut the door behind you
now we can live

Word As A Virus - The Reconcilliation of Ascension

From "Moments Greater Than You or I"

I am slowly realizing that I am no one. I feel as if my significance in others lives is all but gone (as if it was there.)
I always walked the path I felt with my heart. I am nothing. I am a hypocrite. I am a liar. The pressures of living
and the pressures of being alive deteriorate (within myself i am laughing.) I move in moments. Moments.
Greater
than
you
or
I.
Time has shown to heal most everything. But being plagued by the shells of old ghosts has made me tired. I grow
tired of the prodding feeling of burying the insides of disease. My faith stands. Brittle and cold. The feeling of
hearing my last breath exit my lungs and the cries come from all who care so dearly. I am sorry. My time is
not now but i have stolen the clock. I have no desire to wind it again. I pass through you like a ghost with no
beginning or with no ending. I have seen the despair. I am despair.
