Track Name: Black Shapes
Black shapes,
Sharp, like blades,
Have come to cut the past away

And

Purged of shame by
Cleansing pain,
All that now remains

Are

These final strokes to amputate
Burdens shaped by mistakes made
All too often in the name
Of a life-long fear of change

Let me bleed until my blood runs clear
Let me shake until I’ve faced my fears
If I have to drown myself in tears
Let them wash this all away

This is not my life,
But somehow now its mine

Drawn against my will until
I saw it from inside

This is not my name
But this is who I am,

And this is not my face but
It’s the only one I have

These are not my wings,
But still they carry me,

Guided by strange winds into
The coldest Winter dreams

The subtle twisting of the knife
Cleanly exposes the inside
Until the truth too long denied
At last has nowhere left to hide

Let me embrace these things I feel
Until these wounds are finally healed
My scars peeled back, my soul revealed,
Now everything that’s left is real,

And this is now my life,
Because I’ve made it mine

Drawn into the light until
It shows on the outside

And this is now my name
Forever who I am,

All masks torn away, this face,
Is the only one I have

And these are now my wings,
They will always carry me,

Guided by strange winds unto
The fallow fields of spring
Track Name: Falling Star
Too long in motion
The gears of this machine
Well beyond control now
In the hands of entropy

Final scan of frequencies
Recieves dead air
Abandonment apparent:
Either no one knows
Or no one cares

Alarms are sounding
But help is out of range

Turn the page now
But the story will not change

All the lights are flashing
All redundancies engaged

But life support is failing
And I am slipping away

Final observations
Distant and detatched
At terminal velocity,
There is no turning back

Self-destruct initiates
No correction can be made
That will not now somehow
Compound my first mistakes

Make a wish
on the falling star

Make a wish
on the falling..

Ignited by this friction
Re-entry now begins
Flames of disentegration
Will consume me in the end

Mission objective:
Now damage control
This downward spiral must not pose
A threat to those below

I know you saw me coming
I know you heard my s.o.s.

And I hope they turn
Their backs on you
When its your distress
Track Name: Photograph
The sunrise breaks,
In golden waves,
Its warm touch stirs me,
And I wake,

From a Dream of You

I hear myself
Whisper your name
A hope for your embrace erased

As absence takes your place

But just as I promised
I will keep this safe
Every moment captured
Here on this page,

Like a photograph
Frozen in its frame,
A photograph
That will never fade away

Our sanctuary burned, now
Only ashes in its place:
Though I’ll never dream again,
At least, I’ll not forget your face

And all else lost,
Save words, by grace,
With these and nothing more I’ll trace
My memories of you into
This empty space

For just as I promised
I will keep you safe
Every living moment
Here forever on the page

I will not let this go
Frozen in your frame
I will never let you go and
You will never fade away
Track Name: Faith
look out at the bottom of the hill
where the ghosts they gather still
flapping eyes and sharpening fangs
we all know from where we hang
slumber under a killing moon
and the night terrors start to swoon
dark out the sky with our wings
from a hunt we will sing

This is where it ends
we will lose our faith in love

perfect fangs and perfect liars
we were there before man's fires
we only use these lips to kill
turn into only what we feel
close your eyes you don't have to breathe
only lose yourself in the feed
you don't have to sleep from this moment on
and we will take whatever we want

this is where it ends
we will lose our faith in love

sleep under a killing moon
and the night gaunts start to swoon
black out the sky with the darks of our eyes
and we sing from the hunt
and the blood it falls from the sky
and the taste is such a sweet surprise

this is where it ends
we will lose our faith in love
Track Name: Only Three Words
This was never meant to be a secret
But ive always been afraid
That the consequence of revelation
Would be a price too great to pay

Still if I wasn’t so confused….
I'd say it anyway

But now so much has passed between us
I fear that it may be too late
For us to recognize the truth
Though we have looked it in the face

I wish that I could help you see but
How can i confess my faith
When i know that you will always feel that
Somehow it isn’t yours to take:

Still, if i could only hold this dream up
I’d give it all away

But now so much has passed between us
I fear that it may be too late
For us to recognize the truth
Though we have looked it in the face

How can I ask for more than this:
That i am blessed, to call you friend
And there is nothing in this world I would not give
To walk with you, until the end

And through all that’s passed between us
This One thing has never changed,
And even if I cannot say them…
The truth of these three words remains
Track Name: Black Beach
What is the meaning of all of this?
Where am I now? Where have I been?
If this is all, then, where will I be when its over?

There was a moment of true bliss
And if I try, I can still remember it-
But its fading, like an image in the distance

Into quiet waves on black sand
Silence, emptiness, and outstretched hands,
Beneath a starless sky
On the edge of nothing

What will become of this strange dream
From which it seems I won’t be waking?
And what will become of the dreamer?

What can I say, and what difference would it make?
Nothing that happens here ever leaves a trace-
Not even tears on an upturned face,
For things that might have been

And what use now for words
As the last light slowly fades,
If when I’m finally gone
Nothing else remains

But if its all the same,
Just black sand and black waves,
Then why am I afraid
That it all might go away?
Track Name: Moribund
I thought that I knew it all
That my tears could save us
I thought that I knew how to fall
That hands would never turn to dust
I am haunted by your bones
Stretched in the night
Come by and stack the stones
Haunted by your fading light

You are so false to me
You are a fiend to me
And you will never free me
From the ashes

There was a moment in time
When the dark fell away
We weren't afraid of the sunshine
And our hands did not stray
Our hearts have turned to a grave
And bells they no longer knoll
No dreams left to save
Days that are best old

You are so false to me
You are a fiend to me
And you will never free me
From the ashes
Track Name: Toward the Center
This wild pulse, like liquid fire,
Courses freely through my veins, as
Autumn’s embers whisper quiet
Stirred from silence, by my wake

Like the shadow of a shadow's passing
Like the wind I leave no trace-

Only a single drop of rain,
Among these crashing waves

Always searching for
The edges of a dream
Never brought me any closer
To the place I seek

But as the arrow, true,
Towards the center flies
With the way made clear now,
So at last will I

Lead here by an errant angel
To this lonely place and time
Where doubt and faith, like vines,
Forever entertwine

Towards the center
Of a boundless forest and
The dream from which
There is no waking

To the fallen stones and broken arches
Where i once left you waiting

Always searching for
The edges of a dream
Never brought me any closer
To the place I seek

But as the arrow, true,
Towards the center flies
With the way made clear now...

Why are there tears upon your face
For the choices i have made?

When I finally find you,
We will end this masquerade

And every wall that seperates,
We will tear them all away

Like stars against the darkest night
We will burn them all away

We will leave this all behind
