Attainablemy heart its weakAttainable
but my heart it still beats
human as human gets i have thought more of myself taken the limits and pressed them
let them be more of a guidelines and lifelike lines of lies letting go of all the chains no longer restrained
but free to see free to fall like an age old angel tired of serving a higher purpose
as i too am less then and more then
and the times when the signs have led to crimes that i have betrayed my own heart
that i would walk to the end and forget the start
but i know in my mind there is treasure to find

take a second to breathe
grab my hand and take a trip you couldnt beleive
well sail through the seas
diamond stars like endless streams we can pretend were in the movie and stand at the tip of a sinking ship open your arms wide, embrace the skies as we brush hip to hip and watch the lines of reality slide by as they fade in and slip swaying from side to side you never looked more beautiful then you do tonight and its no lie that this just might be what youve been searching for lightning strikes i swear it does and theres no point in running from the

Confusiona brush with resistanceConfusion
the defenite strength of persistance
trying to break us down leaving us weathered while all the while we find that there is no more smile and there has been no time to cry no time to die when everything undone has left us broken
the tough times have only just begun and help is the sound of hope starting with a knot and a rope a dry tree with no leaves the quiet sound of the creak
a desperate attempt to end the suffering
a test of human will to fight the oceans flowing and what do we do when we have the world on our shoulders is there any kind

peicesdamn im broken cold in the frosted over tracks left hollow from lifes unforgiving mishapspeices
and time after time i never really found the key
the door has stayed shut left me on the outside
as the world goes by i stand aside and hide
by all means i have done what i could to make it through but these brick walls break knuckels and shred the flesh i screamed till my lungs gave in collapse from the pressure
and all this put to the test trying to stand and be better then the rest but failing is a very real option one that is all too prevalent but why would i just lay down press out the

Dead DoorsIts along way down from here if only someone had told him not look if then even then he knows he wouldDead Doors
but hes empty and tired searching for something
After all this time what he thought was still alive
but these are all dead ends where the road always ends
His life has a similar story of never ending dissapointment always looking to the stars hoping to be one someday but someday it seems never comes
and he falls asleep to dream of the things he lives for but nights like this are slowly leaving and the dreams barely breathing and the heart can only take so much damag

Jack's Broken HeartThis is the last nightJack's Broken Heart
becuase there have been too many nights
alone in an empty hall of walls and memories
you left along time ago, now you just come and go
when you please and i dont know you anymore
who is he, is he better, can he make you feel the things that i do when you lean against the wall while the tears fall do you feel anything at all for me i hold alone what was once a burning fire of passion and desire by now no doubt you already are looking for the way out
But tonight im doing my own thinking
and i cant remember the last time we touched

Greener GrassRaise your glass in the air can you hear all the glasses tapGreener Grass
and the cheers across the room in celebration
today is a new day
a far step away from yesterday
but not distant enough to take for granted the soft land i stand finally the greener grass
and i worked so hard to get here dreamed for so long about what life is like here looking to the hills where the grass was always greener striving for the day when i knew the taste would be sweeter
i take a step back to look back
to look at all the mountains i have crossed and all the tough

Raventhe Raven flew overheadRaven
and with it left thoughts full of lead poison in my blood and what was left is already dead but i can still recall what the raven said
with every dark new day was a chance to wash away the breath beneath the dirt
a chance to rise above the earth
renew again another birth
with bright eyes full of radiance and the thought of colors again enters my black buried drowned out mind
worried weary and weathered
why am i withering away like a weeping willow destined to die from the moment im alive sadness is no way to carry out

Set to BurnDamn can you see my world set to burn? After all is said and done place the ashes in an urn Set on the mantle to be forgottenSet to Burn
A vase or container of what once was
Lifeless and brought back to the dust
From which we came
Like we never set foot in the first place Take last in a foot past place this lonely race And in everything good all the bad
That had lied so quietly and waited
To strike and cause the fear
That would end all from a single tear
As the skies turned black from all the lack
Of effort to create a future a better tomorrow
And I don&

Amy Leethe piano plays soft and soothingAmy Lee
at first just listening and learning
that this haunting safety of melody
has taken hold of my heart
and her voice creeps in singing
sounding a siren or severing my sanity as she serenades the silence with passion and pain and i have not understood till now... just how
now then she slows the rythm and music
with the cracks in her voice on the softer notes and suddenly smoothing the rough edges of a mirror as i fall further into her gifts and purity of perfection
and if i try to touch this moment i think it might b

that all of you have come stay
even if for a moment there will always be your seat in place for the rest of the days i have the hours i live and let me begin with the stadium lights arent as bright as they used to be
after all this story has been playing forever

the seats not so comftorble or so easily found in the dark by what has been a long tough sort of presentation and i see the faces of the crowd

Star Shotthe thought contemplation sit and consider the constelation the system of the stars solar sublimeStar Shot
that peace would exist where life could not but its the intentions
the trails left by the falling stars broken apart and tired of burning bright the darkest burning star
falling end to end with one goal in mind to see the final fury
the burning desire to die out
the passion of flight
taken from the light that all would stay in place what makes them fall fly or die the stars at night they must cry
for the things they see

this is my life and mine to live
given by example i have no where to turn but back and i used to beleive it was the hypocrites that left the
nonbeleivers disenchanted
but its the hypocrits that killed faith for the beleiver

he laid there this was all undone barely breathing holding his chest with beats being the last almost extinct and he cried tears lining his pale face
And i asked the man that was dying
if he had felt like he had lived his life and he said to me
it started when i was young
i was in a contest a sort of race and the day came when we would place but i didnt get a ribbon for first or second or third they handed me nothing and never said a word i knew then that i stood alone
And i have stood alone in only the lonely can know

Hold the Linethe tides have risen beneath us taking our footing leaving the sand washing away as we slip under the waves and straight into our graves cornerstone and marble manageries of old memories of times when we never quit never gave in and now to drown under the pressure of persistant persecution we have not come this far to fall awayHold the Line

but today i have but few things to say
you are all beautiful in so many ways
that i could not even begin to explain
beyond my words of reason to deny this is treason
like lovers and the kiss i just could not miss this chance once in a lifetime with only one lifetime
simply by the sides of what it is to breathe

the sweat on my pillow a sign of the regret my head wants to hang low
like a fucken weeping willow
for the time lost or forgotten but what can i do now when the past is already over set in stone never again to be looked over not by anyone other then me
and ill try to fall asleep fast at night
to avoid the thoughts that creep
despite the whole in my chest
i have no room for more emptiness again and again tired of duress i would find an end if i knew the grass might be greener but they say hell is for the ones who couldnt handle it her

The Flame ForeverOne day ill grow tired and let it go Even after all I’ve said and all I’ve done Will you lift mine back up to continue the run? Could you relight the fire inside, half burn me alive As I have felt the end before seeing the end When I awoke without the hopeThe Flame Forever
And everything real slips too far away
And I find that I cannot carry this anymore
With all the pain and regrets and pains of regret Will you in turn hold onto me bringing me closer? And help me carry this burden bearing heart As the lines of sane and sound begin to blur Confined I continue to try to

This CallingThis tragic heart awakens to the openingsThis Calling
Tearing and ripping it farther apart With every new time I fell in love
Was another time I fell to the pieces apart
Learning to live with love was just never enough And the sun always seems too fast as it fades And my heart always pretends not to fall Not to fall away like the rest of the stars
But I try to hide all the damages and scars Not caring and forgetting the parts of me
While it grabs a hold, it just wont let me be Never releasing or relenting
With no comparison of compassion coming close

JadedI hear the stir and see her there Sitting alone in the coldJaded
Carefully contemplating
Why she’s failed at love again Why another piece of her is gone Wondering if she will ever be whole
Even if it’s for a while
And every time she cries
Another part of her crawls and dies With every aching breath
Her sides they give in with regret She knows the pain of losing
The pain of two on a one sided love
With her heart more fragile then a dove
Like sharks and blood
they taste the weakness
swarming and circling

there will be another place to start
but now take care of this heart as i have given you every part

the calmingI never chose for things to turn out this way can you tell by the blank expressions full of emotion can you see that i too cry out for redemptionthe calming
but these things are done and we cannot go back
but i want to know why its so hard for you to show when all i ask is for an open door to explore
something about the sunken city you seem to adore
but by now i cant see past the mysteries and i wonder
you should be fighting this with everything you have
atleast seem to care, when this is all too much to bare
atleast right? atleast i know i dont want to be left alone
