Enchant

When I spoke with you today I didn't know what to say It's been so long, so long I said I'm doing fine But what haunts my troubled mind Is where it all went wrong, so wrong I did not suspect That we would not connect And end up strangers I could dance with you...

Here I stand Beside you ,still I somehow stand apart I'm burdened in my spirit,a stone is weighing down my heart I'm riddled in my depths by this half-heartedness Sundered from the "now" by self-protectiveness Look around in your heart Cut off from the moment...

I run my desperate trembling hands Along the floor were you once walked Fighting tears that come from loss I brave the rooms where we once talked You took a part of me I never can reclaim Your spirit's in my heart But you know it's not the same Straining to be...

How did we come to this? When did we reach that fork in the road That carried us from our home? Where did we go wrong? How could we lose the words to our song When we were writing it all along? And how could something beautiful Turn into something ugly And c...

You won't hear me laugh, you won't hear me cry You won't even hear what I'm thinking I can't even speak , I'm too weak to try Surprised I'm even still breathing Like winter's icy touch ,I'm... Cold, so cold, from the surface of skin, to the depths...

I think I bit my tongue today No sign of blood But this taste won't go away Even if awound does heal Its scar might never fade unwelcome words can pierce and drain the soul like aphids on the blossoms leave a hole Sometimes the heart and mind won't work toge...

How long can this anger last Unenlightened with fist tightened Expolde and i run from the blast My ears ringing, my face stinging And you push and pull me, beat me and bruise me 'Till i'm aching And you take and use me, just abuse me 'Till i'm breaking Too s...

This is the ending of an age,the closing of a chapter that Was just beginning... Battered senseless, this is not what you deserve Stripped and left defenseless, this is not what you deserve Stabbed and left to die,all alone forsaken Life palns gone awry, preci...

Some say it's better off this way, now it's over You say the future's looking grey, if it's over: Yeah, there's sorrow as we break -- but it's over Yeah, we've had all we could take -- so it's over Stow away memories of yesterday, to think over Run away, the...

Not what I've done,not what I've spoken Not what I've shown,not that I lied Just holding on would render me broken But weak as I am, my hands remain tied Fear of wrath,fear of pain Fear of facing what I am Fear this might leave a stain Of your blood on my hand...

Beyond the broken waves, she walked the shore Thoughts diving down the ocean-floor... 'The ocean flows like life: just like life... Hope is not a thing that she inclines to take into confidence For another disappointment, there can be no recompense Like the v...

I've been a hungry and holy man Trapped between what i am And want to be I disowned my mind And denied my heart Inspiration set me free Reklinde the fire Of what'll be I see the fixed mark in the mirror The North Star,no need to fear Stop, I'm not time's fool...

The gray light of the morning, the blue-green of the sea A leaf splashed with color, falling from a tree The sparkle in a diamond, the fire of the sun They all seemed much brighter, am I the only one To see them slowly slip away Something changes a little, day...

A face with no emotion Lost in the television's glow He's slipping into darkness Not far from comatose With a bottle in his left hand A cigarette in his right He's drowning out the echo Of voices in the night Through the conversation The old me drifts away H...

Can't fight this urge I'm overwhelmed with anxiety It's taking over me Can't calm my nerves I just can't seem to stop this calamity Will it be the death of me? I'm finding out There is no doubt I need some help How can I learn to protect me from myself? This...

I drank in my youth and had more than my share I'd ask for forgiveness but I really don't care Don't ask you to see me but for what I am Was a dad for a while now jus t a lonely old man I've wandered, I've tasted I've squandered all that should be mine What bo...

Standing alone in a crowded room ,he hears it A voice so familiar,not unlike his own,he fears it His name being called out from across the room, but he can't see He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice,but each step leads Into a dance with a diff...

I'll soon use my hands To carve paths through this caged world Locked up by them I must hold my courage Whether their kind will ever give Whether in life they'll ever live Flaming eyes burn far above A candle's glow Naked to myself Chained to change One day se...

Oh to see the moon through her eyes and to feel the sun the first time No preconceptions She looks at me and smiles as she stands While clutching my sandpaper hands No imperfection She elates and illuminates Every strangers face She sets free, moentarily Ever...

There's an aura around you I'm captivated by your eyes I can't believe that i've found you Why am I so starry eyed? I once lived with honor Followed codes of chivalry But I can't help but falter Under the spell of Annowree Oh- This love's not for real The emot...

I sit in silence here alone An agony I've made my own An empty chasm in the dark Is where I choose to hide my heart Something that I've lived with ,for so very long I've never had an interest ,in what's right or wrong Deviante, or so I'm told Villanous,or so e...

Some nights I lie in forced awakeness My thoughts won't let me go A sleep like death has claimed the world outside The silence reshapes my solitude, from a refuge to a prison Distractionless, nowhere to hide Aloneness holds the mirror I see things I just can'...

Can you look into my eyes before I look away? Can you catch my gaze? Can you see what's deep inside a lost and lonely man? Can you understand that I wear a mask of fear? I cannot be betrayed,that's why I'm so afraid To interact with the other side Instead I ac...

Standing looking in the mirror Wondering who it is I see The face seems so familiar But it doesn't look like me Something is changing ,something's different A foreign look behind my stare I feel frantic, almost desperate He acts as if he doesn't care A smile c...

Save us from ourselves,our creations march against us, Overwhelm us As the men of metal lead us to our final hour 

One who's scorched by the fire,I stand alone brazen-faced Love's become an open fumace,my follies stoked the fireplace Blind to the peril around me,my resistance wearing thin I fell prey to the power of temptation,and the brand of infidelity kissed My skin Wit...

I was set loose as a child To find my way out in the wild Feel asleep inside a cage And woke up in the middle age I felt like I was living a lie And had to escape it all With mortal fears I shaved off the years And went from a walk to a crawl I know I'm reapi...
