These are some of my favorite lyrics/words that I have written. Some have been put to music, some have not. Some have titles, some do not (hey that's almost a poem in itself). Some are based on experiences, some are complete fiction, even others are an attempt to look at things from anothers point of view. And almost all of them have strange lines that are there for some odd reason (it simply rhymes, makes the song/poem deeper, just sounds good, etc., etc...). So have fun over analyzing them.
All lyrics and words

The More Things Change
In a crowd of total strangers / They look at me with hate and anger
I greet them with their own reflection / And I always get the same reaction
I watch the people with no names / They all are different, but they're all the same
I saw a woman at the station / She was a screaming member of the silent nation
And the more things change, the more they stay the same
She keeps a picture in a locket / I wonder what she has in her pocket
She writes her words on a piece of paper / She is well aware that no one will save her
The More things change, the more they stay the same
We all have our wishes, and we all have our chains
We all have our own way to deal with the pain
Sooner or later we all walk through the rain
And the more things change, the more they stay the same
Staring at a total stranger / He's a bitter man filled with hate and anger
It's my reflection in the mirror / There was a time when things were clearer
The more things change, the more they stay the same

She Wore A White Dress
Evening comes around / I watch the sun go down
It reminds me of a girl / Who is yet to be found
I met her in a dream / She was sitting beside a tree
And i sat down next to her / And placed my hand upon her knee
"You don't understand" / Is all she would say
Then right before my eyes / She faded away

Suggestion Box
You are my suggestion box
My suggestion box
I tell you things you do not hear / You understand, but nothing is clear
I plant the doubt, I use your fear / I watch you as you slowly disappear
You are my suggestion box
You do not know who or why / It's useless to even try
I look at you through your eyes / I turn your truth into a lie
My suggestion box
You've no idea what i can do
All the hints I give to you
I've given you so many clues
And you will never know the truth
Suggestion box
Suggestion box
My suggestion box
You are my suggestion box

Deep Inside
She plays along, She has no choice
Nothing to say, She has no voice
She laughs along with the other slaves
She knows it's fun, The mistake she's made
But deep inside, she cries
Deep inside, she cries
His wicked lies, have been shown
Now she's afraid in her own home
She knows it could happen to her
So she plays along, the beautiful lure
But deep inside, she cries
Deep inside, she cries
And I don't blame her
No need to fight
I want her to know
It's alright
She laughs along, she has no choice
Nothing to say, she has no voice
But deep inside, she cries
Way down deep inside
She cries

Behind The Mask
I can read the writing on the wall
I know that look that's in your eyes
I hear the wind it's whispering
The truth is just another lie
And it's hidden behind a mask
You're not the one I used to know
You look the same but you have changed
Princess of lies, Queen of deceit
When you tell the truth it's rearranged
And it's hidden behind a mask
It's the same as lying, it's deceit
When you hold back the truth
Your karma will catch up with you
Yes, it's gonna catch up with you
I can read between the lines
I know that look that's in your eyes
They betray you, Lady lie
I look right through your thin disguise
At what's hidden behind the mask

Mariam
Mariam waits on the other side
And I will join her, when it's time
Mariam watches through my eyes
She knows the truth behind the lies
And sometimes we meet in a dream
And she reminds me, it was not free
And she tells me not to worry
Cause she has always
and will forever
love
me

The Lady Of The Lake
She clutches your sword in her sensitive hands
She knows, she understands
She understands what it's like to drown
What it's like to fall down
She's the Lady of the lake
She's the Lady of the lake
She knows at one time you could swim
And she knows it'll happen again
She sees the truth through your eyes
She also sees the lies
She's the Lady of the lake
The lady of the lake
And the Lady of the lake she sees and hears
The Lady of the lake she sees and hears
Everything
Everything
She lives her life on your open sea
And she knows what you could be
She's keeping track of your deeds
And the blood that you bleed
She's the Lady of the lake
The Lady of the lake
And the Lady of the lake she sees and hears
The Lady of the lake she sees and hears
Everything

The Ache Of Separation
Many lifetimes ago
They looked into each others eyes
Into each others souls
They lived and loved for a lifetime
But eons past and now it seems
Twas just a moment
In time
Sadly they were diverted from their destination
Now all the hold is the ache
of separation
They search for each other
Through lifetimes
Countless lives they have lived
And died
alone
They will know
With just one look
They will live a wonderful lifetime
But for now
They search for each other
Through lifetimes
Countless lives they have lived
And died
alone
They will fall in love all over again
Love for a lifetime
Then
Go
Home
