If you close your eyes
And think really hard
Maybe you can go
Somewhere else
Where everything is different
And nothing is real
With just a thought
You can change how you feel
Time has no meaning
You just float along
Tomorrow never comes
Today is all there is
Where everything is different
And nothing is real
You alone determine
Everything you feel

The time has come to say goodbye
today becomes a piece of the past
now to start a new journey
ready to take those steps at last
The memories of all there was
entwined within our heart
remaining there forever more
even though we will be apart
In years to come we will recall
the laughter, tears and all we shared
we will never truly forget
how much we all cared
But now the time has come at last
can’t stop it no matter how we try
all that now is left
is just to say goodbye

They say money is the root of all evil
actually it’s the love of money
but in my opinion the root of all evil
is insecurity
It gives birth to fear, jealousy, lying
manifests itself as gossip, manufactured drama
blossoms into treachery, lust for power
and selfishness
Insecurity turns people into narcissists
and liars, envious, fearful backstabbers
They make the drama all your fault when
in reality it’s all about them
They want so much to be liked
that they will do anything to think they are
in reality everyone knows what they are
and all about their insecurity

There once was a guy from Montana
who lied about being top banana
short man syndrome all that was true
thinking he fooled me and you
the syndrome made him think he was big and bad
when in reality he was just small and sad
pretending he is someone he will never be
hoping the lies help others not see
shrinking more under the lies that he tells
each one creating new circles of hell
this guy with short man syndrome from Montana

After everything
at the very end
what is it that
remains
When life ceases
to be so busy
and there are only
two
In time of quiet
reflection on the past
now just me
and you
Two hearts inside
two hands
reaching out
with what remains

The lies you tell yourself
so you can lie to others
a never ending circle
no truth in sight
The words repeated so often
they begin to sound like truth
but only to those who
do not know you
For those who do they know
it is not possible
for you to tell the truth
about even the smallest things
You every waking moment lived
is a lie waiting to be told
you believe it
but I never did

How to be free
as you long to be
of these tormenting
memories
Ever present
always near
never to be free
you fear
Keep trying
and trying
to be rid of them
always crying
Oh to be free
death may be
the only way
free finally

Once everything
now nothing
as if you
are dead
once I thought
I could not
live without you
now nothing
Once I believed
there was no one else
oh so wrong
now nothing
Once it was you
so wrong
so gone
now you are nothing

I am more than what you think
or what you assume to know
more than all the gossip
so much I never show
I am more than you
more than you will ever be
even when I’m down
there is still more to me
I am more than this moment
the one that tries to defeat
more than this setback
my heart will still beat
I am more than I realize
reaching down deep inside
to set free
all that lies inside

So complete this failure
nothing can make it right
finished and done
cannot see the light
Unable to understand
why again it is here
always bringing with it
all that is most to fear
Broken in spirit
shattered in soul
nothing can now
make this whole
Again it has come
epic in form
perhaps it’s true
failure is the norm
