An Occurrence Remembered

You hold my heart
Just before yesterday,
I was thinking most of you.
While on the bridge I had laid,
I could feel something strange.
This seasons greenhouse changes,
To a cold suffering.
Is that how its supposed to feel inside?
You hold my heart,
And you can make it stop.
You hold my heart,
And you can make it stop.
Brought down like a wounded sparrow,
To the moments efficiency.
Can we put your feelings aside?
A blue haze surrounds me,
With thoughts of who I found.
They know what tomorrow brings,
I will lie beneath the ground.
You said, you hold my heart,
And you can make it stop.
You hold my heart,
And you can make it stop.
Oh I long to see you,
And the loving ones at home.
Could you see that I somehow get there,
Before they bury the last stone?
Bury the last stone.
Hanging by a thread
My hands are tied before you,
As I fall into this mist.
And what I could see there,
Ah there is no less.
Do you understand?
That I'm all torn apart.
I can't shake this memory,
As I tear this dress.
Untying the knots I see,
Moving faster in regress.
Is it worth me to say, "I know",
As time begin to blur.
Do you understand?
That I'm all torn apart.
If I followed my footprints
Where would I be?
Where would I have gone?
Where would I be?
Looking back I never did see
As time blurs again.
Do you understand?
That I'm all torn apart.
And what I see,
Is a vigilante.
And what I see,
Is a vigilante.
The escape
I get away from you,
You cannot catch me,
Only harass me.
You cannot catch me.
I see the seconds stop
within the beats of my watch.
A sense of once before,
Licking off the floor.
I go under you,
you cannot catch me,
Only harass me.
You cannot catch me.
I get away from you,
I get away from you,
Was it something I said?
Was it something I said that made you hate me?
I see behind you there's a doorway.
Sitting silent now the paper says;
"Hours we laughed in vain and cried all over and again."
There's a sign behind the window,
Under the flower painted walls.
Like shackles rusted in the garden rain,
Can you tell me Mystery, have I gone astray?
Was it something I did that made you hate me?
I see behind you there's a doorway.
Sitting silent now the paper says;
"Hours we laughed in vain and cried all over and again."
Running now with my fear as fast.
Keeping part of me at last.
Hearing echoes as I turn the corner,
Am I alone at the end of the path?
Abbey
Abbey, I'll go home faster.
Watch as I await.
Abbey, I'll go home faster today.
I see you made the call,
Wanting I'm a fool.
I see you made the call for me.
Abbey, I'll go home faster.
Watch as I await.
Abbey, I'll go home faster today.
I see you made the call,
Wanting I'm a fool.
I see you made the call for me.
Abbey, I'll go home faster.
Watch as I await.
Abbey, I'll go home faster today.
I see you made the call,
Wanting I'm a fool.
I see you made the call for me.
Am I too late?
Abbey?
Am I too late?
Was it time for me to go?
I saw a picture of your child,
As I came across a wooden grave.
He looked so young and so brave,
But his world was old and gray.
The bugle is heard in mourning,
At attention to those who care.
With their guns and flags together,
Another ones work is done.
Was it time for me to go?
As I saw you walking out.
How do you explain,
A mother without her son.
How do you explain,
You lost your only one.
Was it time for me to go?
As I saw you walking out.
Sat here in confusion,
Wearing on your sweet pale face.
You reach for an understanding,
In the light of your child’s grace.
In the light of your child’s grace.
Was it time for me to go?
As I saw you walking out.
Will you follow me my dear?
Will you follow me my dear?
He’s come to say I’m here.
He brought you to his dream,
I brought you down to me.
Don’t say goodnight,
Don’t say it’s all right.
You say it doesn’t phase me,
You say I don’t care.
Gone walking to a stream,
Of the times gone by.
For it’s not my choosing,
Where I fall from here.
Don’t say goodnight,
Don’t say it’s all right.
You say it doesn’t phase me,
You say I don’t care.
Are we all alone in here?
And I won’t say that I’m scared.
But do you think your a little crazy?
Because you make me out so clear.
Don’t say goodnight,
Don’t say it’s all right.
You say it doesn’t phase me,
You say I don’t care.
Do you think your a little crazy?
Because you make me out so clear.

to face what you made.
Inconsistent hopes,
Of friends you choked.

Emotionless bear,
Creeps out like bugs.

Does it change your mind?
There’s a house of a thousand men,
Where the dead sleep and the dying lay.
Their crystal chipped faces crawl by hand,
Reaching out to glass portals.
I found a secret sealed in fate,
For our brothers locked away.
Did we count on you to late?
Didn’t we count on you?
And you find everything’s wasted,
They’ve gone to the other side.
And you find nothings changing,
But does it change your mind?
All again it’s the same with me,
There’s a path ahead I see.
With cannon fire lighting my way,
Through the smoke and soliloquy.
Is just cause for her majesty.
And you find everything’s wasted,
They’ve gone to the other side.
And you find nothings changing,
But does it change your mind?
Does it change your mind?
And does it change your mind?
