To The Ends of the Sea

Both bare feet
At the edge of the sea
Cold salt water
And birds with melodies

I stare out into the horizon
With you on my mind
If I walk the distance
Is it you that I’ll find?

I lean over quietly
Take a fistful of sand
My eyes watch as they fall
As the grains sieve from my hand

If only seconds ran so quickly
Like an hourglass of time
Let the grains fall so quickly
‘Til the day you’ll be mine

If I walk the distance
Is it you that I’ll find?
If I keep on moving forward
Should I never look behind?

Cold salt water
And birds with melodies
Are they singing of you
You finding me?

Are they the prophets
Of things to come
At the edge of the sea
With the setting sun

Eating Away

Voices in my mind
Haunting my soul
I run to them blind
Will I ever reach my goal?

The voices hiss at me
From the shadows so dark
People question me
Yet I have no remark

An endless countdown
Like the days going by
Voices now all around
I am forced to comply

Red fiery eyes
And hands cold as stone
It wears no disguise
As it traces every bone

With a lick of its lips
It likes what it sees
Every hollow, every dip
I give in to this disease

Not This Time

My head is in the clouds
But it's raining down on me.
I am traveling so far
But this path is leading me nowhere.

I am tryin' so damn hard
But it's like I can't catch a break.
I try to do good deeds
But Karma just isn't on my side.

Not this time,
Not this time.

How can right feel so wrong?
How can time take so long?
What do I need to do
To prove my worth?

I go the extra mile
But the track brings me back to start.
I run until I collapse
But have no time to catch my breath.

Not this time,
Not this time.

Growing Fonder

I always used to hear them say:
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder,"
But I had never been familiar with this sentiment.

Yet now when I awaken
And your slender frame is not touching mine,
I realize how much larger, emptier this bed can be.

The smell of your hair has left the pillows
And the taste of your kisses has left my lips,
But you are always on my mind.

I impatiently await the moment
When we will be able to embrace,
And we allow our lips to caress.

Oh, the ecstasy we will encounter
When our bodies touch
And our fingers entwine.

You will fill the emptiness beside me,
Your scent will return to my pillows
And the taste of your kisses to my lips.

Let's Get Crazy

The bass is bumping
I can feel it in my feet
The music's blaring
I'm dancing to the beat

My heart is pumping
And I'm losing all control
Bring out the booze now
I'm on a roll

Bartender, poor me another
It's time to get crazy
Drink until I stumble;
Until the night gets hazy

Turn up this beat
I love this song
Having some fun now
Night doesn't seem so long

Bring all your friends
I'll bring mine, too
We'll close this place down
'Cause that's how we do

Bartender, poor me another
It's time to get crazy
Drink until I stumble;
Until the night gets hazy
