Company of Mine

You know I love to love
You know I hate to hate
In this company of mine
Oh ill follow my heart
Ill follow it to the dark
And the grass is cold and moist
And the dirt is deep and dense
The soil it shrouds the secrets
It may retain the reposed and the regrets
In this family of mine
In the meadow alone
Ill meddle alone
And theres nobody here
Just the grass the dirt and the air
Did I deal with the devil
When I thought I prayed to god
And ill follow my heart
Oh ill follow it through and through
I won’t call for your help
I’d rather die on my own two feet
You know I’d love to love
You know I’d hate to hate

Beautiful Days
03:24

Days go by for you
To say goodbye to you
A vacant stare
Honey glazed eyes
Beautiful days
Don’t leave today
Tell a fairy tale
to clothe and veil
the pain
small hand turns into the big
and I have missed all of my past
move on fast
Remember the past
Beautiful days
Don’t leave today
Tell a fairy tale
to clothe and veil
the pain
Beautiful days
Don’t leave today
Tell a fairy tale
to clothe and veil
the pain

The Gargoyle

|
To most They see
A slab of stone, Without
A beating heart
And real set eyes to see
Features carved
With chisels, files, and hammers
My eyes they see
But they too are of stone
But you saw a man
you saw a soul
you came to me
And touched the cold
Of my still skin
within this field of green
I hoped you would stay
To sit in my shade
all day
You hated change
So I was to stay
I saw the world
As it, it whirled
Around,
Things were raised
Then razed into the ground
But you held strong
You held your ground
I’ve stood for centuries
And no one before you has stood by me
But you’re to age through the ages
While i am inanimate, encased in stone
And things they changed
The greens turned into greys
And soon you too would slowly fade away
And then they came
To tear me apart
And there I was
Unable to speak, without
Your caring voice
To keep me safe and sound
because you were gone
Yes you were gone

White Walls
02:35

|
These days are
Endless
In these walls
And barred window sills
And white over coats
Lay me down
In the great wide open dream
And don’t you frown
It’s not like what it seems to be
And there you go
Leaving me reaching for the light
There is nothing I can do but desire
A dream that I can enter and sleep through endless nights
So we shut our eyes
Dreaming of the days we had
And all the times
That we danced around oh hand in hand
And there you go
Leaving me reaching for the light
There is nothing I can do but desire
A dream that I can enter and sleep through endless nights
You were just a dream
For I was sick beyond my years
So all I saw was you
And there I go
With nothing left but white light
There is nothing I can do but desire
A dream that I can enter and sleep through endless nights
So I dreamt of you

Dreamer
03:35
|

|
So goodbye to you
You weren’t the one I knew
I Told you all I could
Guard it if you would
Lilacs and Roses they cover the ground
I lay gazing away
I’ll dream a dream
Finding my way
A Boy a girl, the queen
Once We sat upon the green
A dream that was our past
Has never left my grasp
Moonlight and roses they cover the ground
I lay sleeping away
All my days
Dreaming a way
And you have kept me hiding here
For you have never called me dear
And now I’ve come to see
My death is in my belief
Blinded by my dreams
I’ve learned to sleep to see
Lilacs and corpses they cover the ground
I sleep all through my days
I slave away
Hiding my ways
And I have kept me hiding here
For I have feared the sight of fear
Wake me from the life I dream
Wake me to the life I’ll seek
Wake me from the life I dream
Wake me to the life I’ll seek

Running with the Night
03:07
|
|||
|
Don’t look back into the old room
And don’t fall back into the old routine
As the night goes quiet
My heart starts up a riot
I can’t sleep
Tonight
And I’ll look to the sky and wonder why I should even try
And in the dirt I’ll dig all the things that I think
As the night goes quiet
My heart starts up a riot
I can’t sleep
Tonight
Because I don’t want to be alone
In this night I feel so prone
To the fears that make me moan
Wish and wish I hadn’t known

Rain and the Seed
04:49
|

|
In the hay
On the fields
We are lost
Swaying in the breeze
Our paths our mixed and tossed
You found me
And I’ll give all that I have
Give a taste
Give a drop of your touch
Give some hope
Oh, don’t take it away
Please trust me
Ill take you far if you let me
You fall for me
And I’ll grow for you
We go together
Like the rain and the seed
Oh
You found me
And I’ll give all that I have
Please trust me
Ill take you far if you let me
You found me
And I’ll give all that I have
There there we go
Like the rain and the seed
The sun will rise
To dry those eyes
The sun shines through
The Clouds for you
Daybreak is rising
Beyond the horizon
Daybreak is rising
Over our heads
Daybreak is rising
Beyond the horizon
Daybreak is rising
Over our heads
