Myth Of Logic – Surrounded By Ghosts

Surrounded by ghosts

Here

Here is where I begin

Somewhere toward the end

Nothing is faded

All is the light

Here is where I begin

I must begin again

No way to know the end

Closing the book

Without marking the chapter

I must begin again

At the end

Suddenly someone is there

Growing a threatening stare

Drawing a sword from nowhere

Moving to strike from thin air

In my heart

I know the weight

I feel their hate

I’ll be the one

Handling fate

 

No one can help me in here

Beating back engines of fear

 

All goes red

Blades flashing back

Blindly attack

I must become

Stronger than that

Echoes of promises heard

Empty for want of a word

I must begin to mend

Starting again at the end

With a mind to remind myself

Marking off time

I must begin again

At the end

Fewer ahead

And much farther behind

Here I begin again

At the end

———————————————————+

I seem to be nowhere

Closer to here than there

Hope springs eternal

From all that is lost

I can’t begin again

The Stone House

I seem to know this house of stone

She led me here to stand alone

The ones I see not flesh or bone

The faces here reflect my own

The room upstairs – my world of dreams

Surrounded now – forgotten scenes

The world inside that upstairs room

A magical place I left too soon

——————————————————————+

So come along – I’m here to guide

It feels unreal – the life inside

The voices here don’t know my song

The time is now to move along

Born To The Sky

Born to the sky

Living to fly

Living to try

Born to the sky

Living to fly

Flying to find out

Frozen

Don’t know where to begin

Getting warmer

Spreading wings in the light

Whispers

Concealed in the wind

Growing stronger

Calling soldiers to fight

Fly to the end of the line

Higher than archangels can find

Rising above even Heaven’s design

Blind in the blink of an eye

Dying to be born to the sky

Leaving behind what the devil may find

Reach out

For invisible strings

No controlling

Only dreaming in flight

Soaring

Conceived in a storm

Fed by lightning

Held by thunder at night

Fly to the end of the line

Higher than archangels can find

Rising above even Heaven’s design

Blind in the blink of an eye

Dying to be born to the sky

Leaving behind what the devil may find

——————————————————+

Standing

In the castles of cloud

Asking questions

Of the darkest unknown

Sunrise

When seen from behind

Shines more brightly

And the answer is shown

Fly to the end of the line

Higher than archangels can find

Rising above even Heaven’s design

Blind in the blink of an eye

Dying to be born to the sky

Leaving behind what the devil may find

Fight for the right to defy

Dreaming to be born to the sky

Never to find what we’re leaving behind

No falling down once you’ve made up your mind

Scars Lament

If I’m honest I’ll admit that I’m a knife

And lament the scars I’m leaving in this life

Though I never meant to cut the ones I stained

In the act of passing through they bled the same

How do I heal?

Scars go deeper than this

Caught in the wheel

I’m keeping the wounded near me

If I said that I was sorry for my sins

Would there be a way for healing to begin?

If you let me make a key out of this knife

And lament the scars I’m leaving in this life

How do I heal?

Scars go deeper than this

Cut by the wheel

I’m keeping the wounded near me

————————————————————+

How do I heal?

Scars go deeper than this

Caught in the wheel

I’m keeping the wounded near me

How do I feel?

There’s no hiding from this

Live by the steel

I’m mending the ending carefully

Hollow Body

The secret lies in silence

And learning to be still

In turning down the volume

The space begins to fill

The wounded part I carved away

Has left me feeling stronger

And nothing can reach me in here

The wounded heart I tried to save

Won’t haunt me any longer

HOLLOW BODY

The truth lies in the violence

And hidden there until

In pulling back the curtain

The space begins to fill

The one revealing secrets

Isn’t speaking anymore

And nothing can teach me to fear

 

The Darkness had descended

Long before I could not see

The curtain never ending

Was closing in on me

HOLLOW BODY

————————————————+

The End was in the margins

Holding hands with Time

Plotting out her anguish

And knitting it with mine

The Phantoms lost and angry

And hiding from their pain

The Curtain they are closing

Will never part again

The first of it’s kind

The last plane out

The one that you know

The end of an error

The rest of the best

The web we untangled

The ties that we bind with

The weight of the ashes

The love that she gave us

The circle unbroken

The square root of evil

The only survivor

Strange & Beautiful

Strange and beautiful

Haunted and wonderful

Hidden from sight

By the veil of the night

Silver in my veins

Molten by her touch

Wishing that she

Was here reaching for me

And so it begins

Kisses of lavender wind

Shadows of sorrow

Now running for cover

And I won’t need to cast them again

She is strange and beautiful

Relentless and perpetual

If I outran my fear

Would she follow me here?

Illusion and miracle

Wounded and invulnerable

Why shouldn’t there be

Someone trapped besides me?

And so it begins

Kisses of lavender wind

Shadows of sorrow

Now running for cover

And I won’t need to hide there again

I feel strange and beautiful

Spectre and spectacle

Changes of mind

Somehow fading behind me

Touched and untouchable

Nothing is impossible

Losing my hold

On the things I’ve been told

And so it goes on

Waiting in blindness for dawn

Shouldn’t there be

Someone looking for me?

I don’t think I’ll run from this one

I won’t need to run from this one

Live The Sound

I’m ready – Ready for the war

Waiting like a weapon

I’m screaming – screaming at the door

Wailing like a dragon

Always marched without a drum

Always knew what I’d begun

Always needed you to get left behind

I live the sound

The roar of desperation

The cut of something found

I left the ground

The heartbeat breaks the anvil

The wreckage they surround

I’m holding – Holding my despair

Moving from the outside

No dreaming – Dreaming of the dark

Burning from the inside

 

Never needed to know why

Never needed to comply

Never needed you to make up my mind

I live the sound

The doorway to ascension

Is still for me to find

I left the ground

For living in deception

Has made me change my mind

—————————————————+

I’m hearing – Hearing all the sounds

They are here to guide me

I’m learning – the weapon I have found

Must become The Key

Even soldiers must decide

Someone loses when they die

The door was always here for me to find

I will leave The Key behind

Crucible

Fired by the light of disillusion

The Crucible waits for me

A vessel of mending to alter my ending

The pathway to set me free

Fed by the heat of absolution

The weight of my fate is sealed

Guided by voices whispering choices

The doorway has been revealed

I can’t go on not being the man I’ve become

No where to run – not seeing the sky for the sun

Held in the grip of resignation

I am here to remake my sword

Unlocking the gates of possible fates

A future I’m moving toward

I am the one who let my designs come undone

The End has begun returning to where I come from

——————————————————————————+

Forged in the fires of retribution

The steel knows it’s meant to be

Crimson and glowing – molten and flowing

The answer is plain to me

The blade has become The Key

The answer is known

To the one who left us here alone

The timing is wrong

For the lost who could not move along

Nothing to it – See your way

And then move on

It’s okay – You can do it

There’s a way to move on

If I’d only known

It was always here

I could not be shown

How to live with fear

In starting out there

And ending up here

If I’d only known

It was always here

It was always here

Surrounded By Ghosts

Sitting alone in that dark place

Collecting the unanswered calls

Another few lines on that strange face

And staring down cracks in the walls

But this time that I’m wasting

Doesn’t belong in my head

And this wine that I’m tasting

Won’t help me to rise from the dead

Sleeping in shadows that need me

Knee deep in yesterday’s rain

Chains on my heart haven’t freed me

Existing just outside the frame

But the torch I’ve been holding

Is burning the shape that I’m in

And the flame that is scolding

Seems a bit close to the skin

Standing alone in this dark place

No longer surrounded by ghosts

The hand that I hold wears a new face

The one that I needed the most

But it’s time that I’m leaving

The last of my phantoms have gone

And the ones that I’m grieving

Won’t leave me alone for too long

I’m standing alone in this lost place

The one that I made for myself

I’m learning to live with my true face

The one with new stories to tell

I’m tired of holding me down here

I’ve fashioned a way to get free

I’m letting myself let it go now

And forgiving for giving the key

To me
