The Lonesome Train
Bask yourself in the pale moonlight (tonight)
Spread yourself in the cold fine sand (tonight)
Close your eyes and see the world (tonight)
Reach out and heal the broken hearts (tonight)
I have been lost for too long now
I miss the things I once held close
The end is getting near with each new day
Pack your bags and leave, let's not delay
Feel the warmth of the morning sun (today)
The noon breeze blows your thoughts away (today)
The velvet grass feels soft beneath your feet (today)
Run freely with the pure white clouds (today)
I awake at the sound of midnight
Finding myself alone with the silence
Nothing to cover the silent pain
No one to board this lonesome train
Spread yourself in the cold fine sand (tonight)
Close your eyes and see the world (tonight)
Reach out and heal the broken hearts (tonight)
I have been lost for too long now
I miss the things I once held close
The end is getting near with each new day
Pack your bags and leave, let's not delay
Feel the warmth of the morning sun (today)
The noon breeze blows your thoughts away (today)
The velvet grass feels soft beneath your feet (today)
Run freely with the pure white clouds (today)
I awake at the sound of midnight
Finding myself alone with the silence
Nothing to cover the silent pain
No one to board this lonesome train

The Prism (Ray of Hope)
Let your rays shine through the prism of life,
differentiating the things that prove your existance
Watch the ray of hope glimmer in the dark,
watch the ray of hope glow within your heart
The hope that keeps us all alive,
the hope that gives us all a light
Watch how the light grows dim,
in this dark, cold, misty night
I can barely see what is ahead of me
The ray of hope shines a path of truth for me
Guide me in this sinister forest
Lead me forward without a fear,
a fear so close for many years
Let the prism take away your fear,
let the prism beam your ray of hope
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Sounds rather weird...
Maybe someone can help make some changes?
Make it sound better.

The Thieves of Time
Time has been stolen,
right beneath our noses
There was no replacement,
for this precious item
We were made to believe,
that it was all well spent
Minutes and hours,
spent from their vicoious hands
They thought they were my father,
orders of discipline and rules
They want to be my mother,
they feed me and they clothe me
Repay me, don't shortchange me
For it is the only privillage I have
They squeeze me, not hearing me
For they're only doing what I think is theft
They are the ruthless thieves of time
right beneath our noses
There was no replacement,

Life of a man
The whole world up against a single man,
they turn their backs and devise a plan
Swift blows of management from all four sides,
take turns to savour his years of pride
Relentlessly he took a graceful fall,
his slow slow death means nothing to all
Overlooked, the trophies once earned
Overworked, the products he churned
How lonely, the man the world has forgotten
Ungrateful, his friends that once had exploited
Wasted a life he once had led,
a passing breeze the friends he met
Now the world has turned their attention,
to another man who has all their affection.

Lazy sunday afternoon
Buming on a lazy sunday afternoon
Running with this lazy bag of bones
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to catch my dear friend called sleep
Sitting on a bus loaded with thoughts
Scribbling on a scrappy notebook here
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to the light waiting at the end
Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta see the scenary
Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta stop the lady's cry
Running with this lazy bag of bones
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to catch my dear friend called sleep
Sitting on a bus loaded with thoughts
Scribbling on a scrappy notebook here
Off to the precious land of dreams
Off to the light waiting at the end
Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta see the scenary
Wake me up when we're there
I've gotta stop the lady's cry
Gamble to shame
Play, play, waste your life away
Dollars and cents, it's not making sense
Play, play, be in total dismay
Life's a game, gamble to shame
The doors are open, like their arms
Welcoming smiles, they sit you down
The tables are ready, like your money
Sardonic smiles, full and aplenty
Choose, decide, and place your bets
You take your place with no regrets
Lose and lose, round after round
The deeper you go, the bigger you frown
You wished you've never started this neverending game
But no use regretting, you've fallen to shame
Dollars and cents, it's not making sense
Play, play, be in total dismay
Life's a game, gamble to shame
The doors are open, like their arms
Welcoming smiles, they sit you down
The tables are ready, like your money
Sardonic smiles, full and aplenty
Choose, decide, and place your bets
You take your place with no regrets
Lose and lose, round after round
The deeper you go, the bigger you frown
You wished you've never started this neverending game
But no use regretting, you've fallen to shame
Love to hate love
I hate to put my fingers
into a box of empty cigarettes
To watch fine silk dislodge it's roots
from a head of empty loneliness
I hate to write lenghty letters
and address them to nobody out there
To be on your list of ignores
for a friend whom nobody seems to care
The moments of chance
the closeness we chose to dance
wings we spread to fly
your tight grip, I wouldn't deny
Those times are few and rare
I'll treasure, and never share
I'll love to hate love
I'll learn to hate love
into a box of empty cigarettes
To watch fine silk dislodge it's roots
from a head of empty loneliness
I hate to write lenghty letters
and address them to nobody out there
To be on your list of ignores
for a friend whom nobody seems to care
The moments of chance
the closeness we chose to dance
wings we spread to fly
your tight grip, I wouldn't deny
Those times are few and rare
I'll treasure, and never share
I'll love to hate love
I'll learn to hate love
Thank you...Sorry
Thank you for leaving the light on
The many nights of endless waiting
The many calls left unanswered
Thank you for paving a way for me to follow
The many nights of endless lectures
The advice left on empty ears
Thank you for creating many wonders
The many mouths waiting to be fed
The table often left empty
But sorry I've gotta go,
to a place I call my own
The light I choose to extinguish,
my life I yearn to accomplish
The wonders I chose to forsake
The advice I chose not to take
Let go of my hand and let me be
Your womb you lent, now set me free
The many nights of endless waiting
The many calls left unanswered
Thank you for paving a way for me to follow
The many nights of endless lectures
The advice left on empty ears
Thank you for creating many wonders
The many mouths waiting to be fed
The table often left empty
But sorry I've gotta go,
to a place I call my own
The light I choose to extinguish,
my life I yearn to accomplish
The wonders I chose to forsake
The advice I chose not to take
Let go of my hand and let me be
Your womb you lent, now set me free
Blatant Monday
The daily regime is killing me
The mornings are slow and painful
The torment grows with each passing day
Crawling up my nerves, taking turns to play
The suffering is too much to bear
There's nothing here for me to care
When can I leave this forsaken place
where hearts are cold in pure solace
My urge to leave so strong till now
my heart and mind so weary and dull
I write and write each passing day
hoping that time holds no delay
Wasting away a blatant monday
The mornings are slow and painful
The torment grows with each passing day
Crawling up my nerves, taking turns to play
The suffering is too much to bear
There's nothing here for me to care
When can I leave this forsaken place
where hearts are cold in pure solace
My urge to leave so strong till now
my heart and mind so weary and dull
I write and write each passing day
hoping that time holds no delay
Wasting away a blatant monday
Life
I close my eyes to see the world
It's darkness all around, with no one else
Now they open wide to view
The light seems bright, it seems clear to move
Why did the windows choose to stay shut
when the view, it is so beautiful?
Why did I choose to rest
When I'm so near that I can touch the line?
Take some time to think
Take more time to feel
But don't take too long to stop
the end might just be near
It's darkness all around, with no one else
Now they open wide to view
The light seems bright, it seems clear to move
Why did the windows choose to stay shut
when the view, it is so beautiful?
Why did I choose to rest
When I'm so near that I can touch the line?
Take some time to think
Take more time to feel
But don't take too long to stop
the end might just be near
Innermost rush
The colours of society beams right through me
I am condemned, for transparent I am
Cheers to lonely hearts, fears consume our blood
Wretched screams are breaking free
Contained for so long now, dying to flee
The rhythem is there for you to follow
Dancing as though there's no tomorrow
Sing along my happy tune
Like the flowers, please come to bloom
Walking by the crowded street
Street lamps shine upon our feet
Look and see how much you glow
But dark as night my heart it grows
I am condemned, for transparent I am
Cheers to lonely hearts, fears consume our blood
Wretched screams are breaking free
Contained for so long now, dying to flee
The rhythem is there for you to follow
Dancing as though there's no tomorrow
Sing along my happy tune
Like the flowers, please come to bloom
Walking by the crowded street
Street lamps shine upon our feet
Look and see how much you glow
But dark as night my heart it grows
Flight to hope
Dreams are there to be pursued
but not to be realised
You can spend your whole life chasing
Running with all your might
Tell me, who will know your plight?
The sweat runs down your brow
You feel the strain and the pain
You swallow your remaining pride
Your past is thrown aside
Tell me, who can take things by their stride?
Pick up the remains
run along with me
Strike the fears that come
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight
Be brave my friend
hope still embraces
whatever's left of you
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight
You grow weak with fear
Your vision weakens
All you see is no longer clear
Your wounds still fresh from battle
Tell me, who is willing to stay and fight?
Left with no one else
Friends slain and captured
Some flee with cowardice
Others strike you from behind
Tell me, who will stay by your side?
but not to be realised
You can spend your whole life chasing
Running with all your might
Tell me, who will know your plight?
The sweat runs down your brow
You feel the strain and the pain
You swallow your remaining pride
Your past is thrown aside
Tell me, who can take things by their stride?
Pick up the remains
run along with me
Strike the fears that come
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight
Be brave my friend
hope still embraces
whatever's left of you
Arm yourself and fight
Prepare to take flight
You grow weak with fear
Your vision weakens
All you see is no longer clear
Your wounds still fresh from battle
Tell me, who is willing to stay and fight?
Left with no one else
Friends slain and captured
Some flee with cowardice
Others strike you from behind
Tell me, who will stay by your side?
On your own
It's about time
I've come to terms with myself
I've been lost for so long
dragged along with the hands of time
Being a lost soul
without a mind of my own
Drifting for so long
floating along in the passage of time
Please stand up(on your own)
make the decisions(on your own)
Oppurtunities,
they don't last for long
While they're there,
reach out and grasp
On your own
On your own
No one will be there to save you
No one will be there to guide you
You've gotta finish what you've started
Complete the race of time
I've come to terms with myself
I've been lost for so long
dragged along with the hands of time
Being a lost soul
without a mind of my own
Drifting for so long
floating along in the passage of time
Please stand up(on your own)
make the decisions(on your own)
Oppurtunities,
they don't last for long
While they're there,
reach out and grasp
On your own
On your own
No one will be there to save you
No one will be there to guide you
You've gotta finish what you've started
Complete the race of time
The balance
Where can we find a balance?
The rich and snobbish,
the poor and the suffering
There's no way ahead
It's just a dead end
And you can't retreat
Blindly a choice is made
A choice of regret
The rich and snobbish,
the poor and the suffering
There's no way ahead
It's just a dead end
And you can't retreat
Blindly a choice is made
A choice of regret
Surrounding people
Worry over nothing
caring for things that are not for me
Bothered about people
weary about the surroundings which encave me
Eyes that see,
not only look, but pierce the soul
Arrows of fire, dart toward me
Killing whatever's
left within me
caring for things that are not for me
Bothered about people
weary about the surroundings which encave me
Eyes that see,
not only look, but pierce the soul
Arrows of fire, dart toward me
Killing whatever's
left within me
Empty pieces
Programmed for progress
made for deceitful lies
Executed for progress
trained to replace the misplaced
We are but empty pieces
on a board, being played by our makers
We can only watch, but not move
as we fulfill our destiny, which isn't our own
Made for different purposes
We're chosen to fill the gaps in the game of life
made for deceitful lies
Executed for progress
trained to replace the misplaced
We are but empty pieces
on a board, being played by our makers
We can only watch, but not move
as we fulfill our destiny, which isn't our own
Made for different purposes
We're chosen to fill the gaps in the game of life
In your decaying self
When there's nothing to do,
I do nothing
Why find trouble,
when there's none?
When there's something to do,
I do it
Why push it aside,
when you mustn't?
Curse my mentality if you must
it's already cursed
Plague my mind if you want
it's already plagued
I'll deafen myself, and sit in a corner,
I'll blind myself,and face a wall,
while I listen to your screams
and watch you reside to your blessed fate
In your decaying self
I do nothing
Why find trouble,
when there's none?
When there's something to do,
I do it
Why push it aside,
when you mustn't?
Curse my mentality if you must

while I listen to your screams
and watch you reside to your blessed fate
In your decaying self
The rich poor man
I am but a rich man
Abundant to give,
but no one to receive
So wealthy, yet lonely
I am but a poor man
So lacking in everything,
with no one willing to give
So poor, still lonely
I am the king of beggers
Clothed in rags of filth
with the scent of agony
and the scent of emptiness
I am the lord of riches
with the finest of gems
Gems of loneliness
and gems of disappointment
Abundant to give,
but no one to receive
So wealthy, yet lonely
I am but a poor man
So lacking in everything,
with no one willing to give
So poor, still lonely
I am the king of beggers
Clothed in rags of filth
with the scent of agony
and the scent of emptiness
I am the lord of riches
with the finest of gems
Gems of loneliness
and gems of disappointment
Knowing
Knowing the truth, a blessing
Accepting the facts, it's pleasing
Facing reality, our choosing
For what's good, please stop running
I turn and speak
to the voices within
Answering the questions
I once gave no attention
When will we ever learn
to open our eyes and see,
to open our ears and listen,
to open our hearts and feel,
To know the truth,
to accept the facts, and to face reality
To choose to know,
that we should know
Accepting the facts, it's pleasing
Facing reality, our choosing
For what's good, please stop running
I turn and speak
to the voices within
Answering the questions
I once gave no attention
When will we ever learn
to open our eyes and see,
to open our ears and listen,
to open our hearts and feel,
To know the truth,
to accept the facts, and to face reality
To choose to know,
that we should know
My choice
As soon as I got out,
I fell into another
You saved me,
but now you make me suffer
Yet again,
the feeling is the same
But the fault's not yours,
it's mine to claim
Let me take the blame,
allow me the pain
It is perfectly fine
You've always been right
To give me answers,
you're not obliged
Choose what pleases you
For I have made my choice
For you to be happy,
selfishly, that I might be
Happy but lonely,
that, I will be.

All I ask
You are vital to my existance
You bring meaning to it all
You bring life to every corner
You lift me up should I fall
You are a wonder in this world
You make fantasies come true
You bring the dead to life
You conquer the depths of my soul
I've been waiting,
for this moment in this lifetime,
to cure me of my wounds,
left to rot and decay
All I ask, is for some time
I don't need an eternity
All I ask, is for some time
A moment of silence is all I seek
You bring meaning to it all
You bring life to every corner
You lift me up should I fall
You are a wonder in this world
You make fantasies come true

You conquer the depths of my soul

Confusion
Questions and queries,
with moods of fury,
consume your sanity,
feed your mortality
Buckets of fear,
filled to the brim,
await the moment,
forming a stream
making your choice,
choose what entice,
for that moment of folly,
we act so holy
Strip yourself from clouded thoughts
There're rays of light, piercing through the grey
Pitter and patter, they fall from the sky
Refreshing each moment, you'd want to fly
with moods of fury,
consume your sanity,
feed your mortality
Buckets of fear,
filled to the brim,
await the moment,
forming a stream
making your choice,
choose what entice,
for that moment of folly,
we act so holy
Strip yourself from clouded thoughts
There're rays of light, piercing through the grey
Pitter and patter, they fall from the sky
Refreshing each moment, you'd want to fly
To be a fish
Put me in the sea
and I'd swim free
Put me in the river
and I'd swim free
Put me in a lake
and I'd swim free
Put me in a pond
and I'd swim free
If I were a fish,
I'd want to swim free
A bowl would be my home,
a tank would be my world
But all I ask,
is for you to be a fish,
together we'll be, forever with me
and I'd swim free
Put me in the river
and I'd swim free
Put me in a lake
and I'd swim free
Put me in a pond
and I'd swim free
If I were a fish,
I'd want to swim free
A bowl would be my home,
a tank would be my world
But all I ask,
is for you to be a fish,
together we'll be, forever with me
Time
Ask yourself,
what is the most important thing
that we have, we need, we yearn
Precious time,
It consumes us, yet contains us, and controls us
We bow and listen to his commands,
following his orders, begging for mercy
Just rewards,
it's all we ask for
For him to slower his pace,
to increase it, or to stop at times
But who are we to ask?
We are but lowly slaves to our master, Time
Entrapped by his venom,
the antidote we seek, but can never find
When can we turn tables,
and be the masters of time?
