Hope

Let's not fulfill the prophecies
time to dismiss them
as mad men's wild fantasies
time to switch tracks
time to take a stand
stop laying on your backs

By Surprise

My pinnacle
nothingness
just a ruse
my disguise
another card
you off guard
and taken
by surprise

Psycho Ward

Yes doctor the patient breathes
I guess the operation was a success
I wonder if he'll miss that part of his brain
he'll probably never know you stole his heart

living is a memory

I wield a double edge sword
one side to cut through darkness
into light
the other to cut through light
back into darkness again
standing upon the shadow
of reason
one swift blow
from my sword
hard, dead center
takes me away
to that timeless land
where lives pass
and living is a memory....

Not the last

Dragons and castles of old
moats with draw bridges
a knight weary and cold
the battle is over
and he's about to lose
his past flashes before him
he knows he's about to die
the sword comes down
and with one last agonizing cry
he yells out I'll be back....

Change in outlook

How we view the world is a matter of perspective

No going back

There's no going back to simpler times....
besides, it's the tough times that make us strong
