Ghost Driver

come back please

please don’t leave us behind

behind the wheel where

where you threatened

threatened to end it all

all love all life for you

you mean more

more than anything yet

yet you still leave

leave this behind

behind the wheel where

where your ghost still drives...

Spin, Around, Side To Side

_(The song starts off with a slow waltz in F)_


_(Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do—dada—Do, [repeat])_



The world continues to spin


Spin, without a whim


Whim—it says—shaking its head


Headed to wherever it goes



Going to goes, to sunshine road


Road, a road where people die


Die, with peace, licking others feet


Feet swinging from side to side



Side to side


Si-i-ide to side


Side to side


Si-i-ide...

Oxygen

Writhe in the sadness,

Sadness leaving your body.

Body of work accepted,

Accepted by your love.

Love the air in your lungs,

Lungs are full or your love.

Love makes you full again,

Again you are like oxygen.

Oxygen in your touch,

Touch my skin,

Skin on skin.

Skin on you,

You and me.

Me and you,

You taste of fate,

Fate told me of you.

You fill my heart,

Heart with love.

Love the air in your lungs,

Save the world

Everything hurts

hurts like a punch to the gut.

Gut- wrenching agony

agony as I watch the world burn

Burn down by the people is bruised

Bruised and broken are we

We are the people the world destroyed

Destroy the earth shall we

We are the boys and girls

The girls who ache and cry

Cry out to the people

People who ignore us

Us and the others

Others who work to hard

Harder than they should

Should ha...

Is Curiosity Ever Complete?

People tell me that I’m wrong

Wrong is sometimes right

Right is true, without fault

Fault that scars our night


Night blooms high

High beyond our reach

Reach, we try, and reach we do

Do we ever feel complete?...

Welcome

Welcome, welcome one and all

All your dreams will start to fall

fall through the floor

floor the judges and walk out the door

door to the unknown

unknown to everything but soul and bone

bone of man and bone of beast

beast with fangs and teeth

teeth with ridged edges

edges of wreathed sharp ledges

ledges where only a gooodbye meets a hello

hello and welcome home...

Together We Are Not Alone

I feel so alone

Alone like no other

Other people don’t understand

Understand what I am doing

Doing what I do

Do what I feel

Feel what I am

Am what I think

Think about what I have been

Been in places I have

Have heard the sound of silence

Silenced are we

We are silenced

Silenced but screaming

Screaming but alone

Alone like no other

Others are strong

Strong are we

We need to band together

Together ...

My time alone

My comfort is loneliness,

loneliness is you,

you have those eyes,

eyes that talk through your soul,

soul is a word that means posibilities,

posibilities only me and you know,

know? so talk without words,

words are just there to make us fail,

fail with me if you must though,

though all we hear in between is our soft breath,

breath maintains us alive,

alive makes a conection with life,

life take us ...

Splash💙🤍

The waves, which would channel sunlight into each splash

Splash, a word bringing many smiles to children

Children, who continued to jump as the waves began to rise

Rise, in a way that swept all the sand away


Away, all the children went

Went to their cozy homes with fireplaces

Fireplaces that warmed when the sand began to burn

Burn, leaving behind more deep red damage


Damage, that caused mothe...

I Suffocate 

Whispers in the night,

Night's cold embrace tightens,

Tightens around my heart,

Heart aches with your absence,

Absence like a void,

Void of all but pain,

Pain that echoes deep,

Deep within my soul,


Soul yearning for a touch,

Touch now lost to time,

Time marches on,

On without you here,

Here in the silence,

Silence filled with tears,

Tears that fall like rain,

Rain that never ends.


Ends ...
