Lucidity

PhantomStrut

Ouroboros

You wonder how you got here
Alone, just standing in the rain
The waters rise around you
You close your eyes against the pain
You feel, the sky is torn
And/but there’s no hiding from the storm

You feel a chill around you
Your heart so cold, it starts to freeze
The winds tear at your soul now
The howling brings you to your knees
The darkness closes in
The fear it creeps under your skin

And I know that I can’t take away your pain
But I’ve felt what you've been feeling
Know the anguish in your veins
And I’ll stay with you as the tears begin to flow
I’ll be right here by your side
And I just want you to know
That you're not alone

Lost in a maze of misery
And you don’t know which way to go
You feel the pressure building
And now the cracks begin to show
Your heart is full of doubt
You’re trapped inside and can’t get out

And now your strength is fading
I know you feel you can’t go on
The sun is swiftly sinking
In darkness seems all hope has gone
You’re caught up in these chains
And all your struggles are in vain

And I know it seems your world’s been torn apart
But I’ve felt what you’ve been feeling
Cried those same tears in the dark
And I know it seems your heart can’t stand the blow
But I’m here to hold your hand
And I just want you to know
That you're not alone

Not Alone

Ice inside your veins, you feel so cold and I know why
Better to be stone than flesh and feel the pain that makes you cry
Brittle anger snaps like broken branches piercing through the heart
Brambles lashing out at those around you, pushing us apart

And something stirs behind closed doors
I know you’re wanting so much more
Trapped inside these walls of stone
And darkness pools inside this room
Flowers waiting still to bloom
Don’t give up, you’re not alone

Lost inside a maze of thorns, you’re scared of what’s outside
Peeking through the creeping tangles watered by the tears you cried
Eager jealousy comes rushing in, a pounding in your head
Winter stops the choking breath inside, you’re frozen still instead

Walls

Fascinate

“That first glance is worth a million dollars.”

I know I catch your eye as I waltz in the room
No, you don’t know it yet but they’re playing our tune
You’re glancing my way and your look seems to say
Get ready, let’s start this off right

You laugh, take a drink, and I flash you a grin
This might be a mistake, but I got a good feeling
This could be romance, come on let’s take a chance
We’re playing with fire tonight

Take my hand
In the dark
You and I
Feel the spark
You know there’s
Something between
You and me

Feel the beat
On the floor
You close your
Eyes run your
Tongue cross your
Lips and you smile
‘Cause I’ve got what you need

We move to the music, your pulse starts to climb
Put my hands on your hips, pull your body to mine
Don’t deny this reaction, it’s more than attraction
I see the desire in your eyes

My skin starts to burn with the heat of your touch
And there’s no holding back now, we want it too much
Run my hands through your hair, feel the heat that we share
Come on let the temperature rise

Electric

Been a little while
Since I’ve seen your face
Days keep passing by
But they won’t erase
Memories of you
That I can’t forget
No, I can’t forget

Still I’m standing here
Trying to move on
Stranded in the dark
Hoping for the dawn
Waiting to be free
But I’m not there yet
No, I’m not there yet

But I’ll keep walking to the shore
As I remember years before
I let the wind rush through my soul
And feel the ache recede

Let the waves wash over my head
Let the pain dissolve into the sea
As the stars wheel across the sky
Bitter memories slowly turn sweet
Let the night turn into the day
Let the melting ice begin to flow
As the sorrow gently bleeds away
Maybe now I can finally let you go

After all this time
I’m still holding on
Couldn’t tell you why
When I know you’re gone
Chains around my chest
Can I find the key
Can I find the key

Every day I’m now
Trying still to learn
Love it comes and goes
As the seasons turn
What I’m clinging to
Can I set it free
Can I set it free

But time will wear away the stone
That keeps me shackled here alone
Please lead me to the water’s edge
So I can find relief

Sea of Memory

Nitrous

Look at you
And see right through
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away
Empty space
Can’t see your face
Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away

You feel a chill run through the air
You take a look and no one’s there
But you can’t seem to shake
The fear your heart will break
Seems like you’re waiting still to hear
The voice of someone in your ear
But silent shadows hold
A promise still unspoken

What do you tell the ghost
Who’s standing by your side
Do you wish that he would speak
That he would look you in the eyes
He stands so silent
What emotions lie within
See the flame that burns inside
Is it slowly growing dim?

Old phantoms float across the room
Unspeaking underneath the moon
You watch with sleepless eyes
Wait for the sun to rise
The darkness sings a haunted song
Unheard the whispers echo on
And in the still of night
The emptiness comes calling

Don’t fade away
Don’t fade away

Ghost

Frozen, forever trapped inside this cage
Stuck in slow motion
Wish I could turn another page
The light is stolen, the way ahead unyielding stone
Lost in an ocean of sorrow left to swim alone

But don’t give up, don’t give in
It’s not too late; You’re stronger than you know
And don’t lose hope, get up and try again
Don’t turn away, just let your burdens go

Moving forward one more step
Close your eyes and take a breath
Take the time to realize that now is all we need
Morning brings another day
Let your presence lead the way
Open up your mind and let this moment set you free

Floating, lost in this silence with no air
The fear keeps growing, a twisting road that goes nowhere
My words unspoken, the story lost, my lips gone still
My heart is broken, this empty room nothing can fill

The Moment

Waiting still for God to speak
My angel, silently she weeps
I listen for the words that never come

Haunted still by past regret
The wailing ghosts of ill intent
In this frozen room I come undone

Tell me that it’s not too late, my dear
Tell me I can still be saved
The sun has set, it’s getting dark I fear
This silence leaving me afraid

Stumbling down I clutch my chest
And try to still the emptiness
Wrestling with this ache that leaves me cold

Dreaming still of better days
And hope to set this heart ablaze
To find the place where all the lights shine gold

Tell me that it’s not too late, my dear
Tell me that I’m not alone
Whisper softly that we’ll find a way
That this road will lead us home
