Forever

I know I know I----------------------------
I know friendships reach many snares 
They often tread where no one dares 
Sometimes we are unprepared 
You are forever within my prayers
Being so close leaves our soul to bare
A trusting bond that will never tear
To you no other will compare
You are forever within my prayers
I know I know I------------------------------
Although Friendships reach many snares
One like ours is very rare
nothing is beyond loves repair
You are forever within my prayers
I wish you were here or I was there
To be with you is my only care
I hope we can find some time to share
You are forever within my prayers

First take of song ever.  
Showed it to a friend who deleted a vocal track while listening.

Forever

Sorry I listened to them not you
You were right
But I chose image over truth
Thought they were friends
But you always knew
Only one I was ever scared to lose
.
.
Sorry I was blind to the signs
Sorry it has been such a long time
Sorry I was so self consumed
Sorry now what can I do
.
.
Might have taken me awhile
But I learned so much from you
While I was breaking life
You were handing me glue
While I was guarding pride
You asked “what is there to prove?”
While I was preaching foresight
You were leaving me clues 
.
.
Sorry I was blind to the signs
Sorry it has been such a long time
Sorry I was so self consumed
Sorry now what can I do

This was the first take ever.  Ran out of room for solos and a bass line during the verse on my little BR8.  And Upgraded a couple words on this song after this recording

Clues

I'm the Mulch
The Mulch that keeps you moist
I'm that cynical 
Hidden voice
I am all that you've come to believe
I am nothing 
I'm the SHATTER
The shatter in your brain
I'm the needle
The needle that brings pain
I am your 
Your clouds without a sun
I am no one 
(///)
I'm the marrow
The marrow inside your bones
I'm the cradle
When you're all alone
I'm that blanket
The blanket of false protection
I am 
Lost intention 
I’M The GLUE
The glue that never binds
I am your
Your LAST sip of wine
I'm the emotion 
That you just can't get right
I'm the tear 
Behind empty eyes

BR8 Sessions

Shatter

YOU WERE THE ONES
You are the ones
Who helped me through those times
And you are the ones
Who never had to ask me why
And you are the ones
I never meant to cause you pain
You gave me so much joy
Through the innocence of your ways
.
.
Ah yeah now now now
.
.
And I guess you were the ones 
Putting diamonds on my shoes
And I guess you were the ones
Now I left you all confused
And I guess you were the ones
Gave me reason for this life
And I guess you were the ones
That kept me whole inside
.
.
I want you to know
That I really love all you
And I want you to know
That all I taught was true
And I want you to know
I think about you everyday
I want you to know
That in my heart you'll always stay
.
.
Ah yeah now now now
.
.
And I guess you are the ones
You must feel so betrayed
And I guess you are the ones
You're trying to forget my name
And I guess you were the ones 
Who filled me up with pride
And yes you are the ones
I pray to see again sometime
.
.
Solo
.
.
And now now now now
.
.
And I guess I am the one
Who couldn't bare losing you
And I know I am the one
Who has so much to prove
But never were you blind
Never was I unpure
Now it all has come untied
Please help me find the cure
.
.
Please help me find the cure

Last Sip

You Were The Ones

Not mad for the frame
Or the things you sold with my name
Want to make a statement
But then I'm playing your game
It's OK sometimes I like the blame
It's OK at least I enjoy the parade

And they read like religion
What next will you feed them
And their thoughts breed it's fission
It's the virus you implant
And their lives are so drained and bored
Don't you dare sever that chord
Need somewhere to place their scorn
Addiction leaves them wanting more

It's Ok use me
just another font on the page
It's OK use me
To justify that rage
It's ok use me
Reaching for the fame
It's ok use me
Keep generating the pain

You can trick the public
You control us all
Just your business
To rewrite the graffiti on the wall
Selling headlines your the puppet
69 feet tall
It's OK I'm sure your clones
Will catch you when you fall

Make another law for me
Can't you see I'm too free
Make another law for me

It's OK

Motionless I'm Drifting 
Through this pattern of life
And I try to make it right
But I'm still drifting away

Now I realize
Slipping through the cracks
I just can't stand by
And let this happen

So I tell myself
That I can change
Or it is only I
That will feel the strain

Now I take my pride
And I dig way down deep
I push my values aside
And This is what I found

Motionless still drifting
Although I've found a new way
Nothing I do 
Nothing I say
I'm still drifting away

Vibratix

Drifting

I will save you
I know what you need
Don't worry about me

I Will Save You

Don't you see it's such a drain
Such a strain such an act playing the game

Keep up the appearance of truth
So strong nothing can cut you

But what is to gain and what's left to tame

Life is a movie screen
You work so hard to make reality

(they wear the masks just like you)
(You know cuz you can see right through too)
(It's a game of pain It's a game of pain)

Cant you break through these chains for me 
Can't you be true to yourself for peace
Wanna play the game Keep playing the game
Won't be sane live with the pain pain

They wear the masks just like you
You know cuz you can see right through too

Playin the Game

Don’t need to shy away
No need to flinch and feign
Don’t know what happened to you
But you need not be afraid

It’s a new day
You are wanted

Take my hand it’s ok
Tremble if you need to shake
Don’t know what happened to you
But you need not explain

It’s a new day
You are wanted

Come closer for a warm embrace
I kiss those tears right from your face
Don’t know what happened to you
But now you are safe

It's A New Day

Surreal Oceans

A relapse in the mind
A subliminal trance unfolds
Flowing towards endless horizons
I join the voyage 
Throughout these surreal oceans

I find myself
In another dimension
A dream of reality
And escaped memory
Wondering aimless
Destination unknown
Trying to grasp the tracks of times past
In this world of my own

Drifting on these currents of illusion
My Mind Astray
When must I return
Or will I remain
Past
Endless horizons?

Surreal Oceans [Click 4 Lyrics]

Thruster

Running Thru The

A companion song, But more positive, which would go with same music I suppose, so really like a part two. More of a pipe dream at the time I wrote it, in contrast to the reality I actually wrote for this song.

OUT THIS FAR

Ignite me with surprise
I'm high on your paradise
The one where freedom thrives
This time it just feels so 
Right~~~~~~~~~~~~
I never felt so right

You offer your hand
The look in your eyes rare
I reach out to grab
I'm so naked and
scared~~~~~~~~~~~~
Does someone really care

You pick me up
I can feel your spark
You hold me close
I never want to
Part~~~~~~~~~~~
I hope this is just the start

You unlock my soul
And fill it full of stars
then you say to me
Never hide who you 
Are~~~~~~~~~~~
I've never been out this far

This Song lyrics are

I'LL NEVER KNOW WHO YOU ARE

Smother me with your lies
I'll visit your paradise
The one where deceit thrives
This time you might get it right
You might get it right

You offer your hand
Don't really want to share
I reach out to grab
Even though I know it's not really there
It's not really there

You pick me up
I can't feel your arms
You hold me close
Far from your heart
Far from your heart

You squeeze my soul
Only to leave a mark
One to remind me
I'll never know who you are.
Never know who you are

I'll Never KNow who you Are

and the sun shines a little brighter, as you make it through another day.  And the tons of burden a little lighter, I knew I could help you find another way.... It only took the the realization and a little determination it was all inside of you from the start, and the whole world spins a little better, Now that you play your part.
