Ice

When the last vestiges of bitterness betrays
The feelings you can't repent
In the stillness of your heart you feel
The coolness in the rent
Destroyed and never full again
Broken and fallen apart
You used up all your second chances
And finished your restarts

Track 4

Something soft to lay on
Something sweet to drink
All the lights turned down
And I listen for you
In the scratches of old tracks

I lay back
Eyes closed tight
The fire mellowing down
And Hear you call
From the scratches of old tracks

Falling deeply
Into the old familiar
Dreaming of falling down
Joining you there
In the scratches of old tracks

The Undoing

Well, I tried
And no one can say that I didn't
I tripped the day
And set off the night
Now the fires
Burning backwards
Are a worry
And the headaches I have
Don't leave without a fight

But that's alright

Well, I know
The greatest trials hang the jury
When they judge not
The failures of monsters in men
Still I falter
Should I stop her?
In the shadows
Drinking in the music
Of way back when

Or let it all just end

I saw you laugh
I heard you sigh
I felt you felt
You wanted to die
But we're both just the same anyway

My Spaces

On the street, next your 'next to my street'
Is a house that is ancient in ways
It has grown from the feelings I once held
In my dead end days

In the driveway you can see me driving
In a car that was once ours but mine
You can come along if you'd still want too
To go back in time

Under books
An edges of carpet
Beneath shadows
Dusty and worn
Lays a token
I once had worth stealing
In my dead end days

In a picture that's hard now to picture
My reflection is there under book
You can stare into me staring back out
If you dare to look

Hero

Drinking back the endless praise
Of memories that never fade
Youth and tirless ambition
Casting tall
Over used ammunition

Your heart broke at age 15
When you first began to see
That all you were dying to hold true
Didn't hold
To what others saw as you

Now the moments pass as days
AS does does glory wrapped in haze
They broke your vestiges of youth
And condemned you
To living out their truth

Unappreciating

Can't just accept
Can't feel

Sleep so far away
Offerings
Beckoning
On the altar of relief

Can't take it in
Can't accelerate

No smiles
No laughter now
I deny
I

Deny the only happiness

Can't accept the hope
Can't and possibility
