Proof Positive (REVISED)

Document the real life
That feels so much like fiction
This life that's been labled
With a dealine closing in
Throuw reason out the window
When it doesn't match reality
And try to survive in a dying world
Celebrate the love that won't fade
Through the end and has no beginning except time itself
Let in the love that will bring back to life
Because right now death reigns
Thought the deadline hasn't come
Holding off like a cruel joke
Now the joke's on life
Alive against the odds
Live with more heart
Love with more soul
And it will all be worth it
No matter how short

In So Many Words

These visions
Like dreams
I've never lived them
Yet I know they're real
Where do they come from
How can I make them stop
It's like the plague of my mind
Black against the sky
Blocking out everything else
I can't think
What do they mean and
Why won't the go away
I am stuck in this daydream
That is only a nightmare when I
Realize it isn't real.

Keep In Mind

Get out
Run away
Through the street lights
Hilight the same
Haunting memory
I can't ignore it
Won't get out
Stuck in my brain
Like a virus
That hates me
Plagues me day and night
Hear the clock chime
Another hour gone by
More to remember
Relive the dreams
But that same memory
Is the faded image
Behind everything
Self-invoked and still there
Go away
Run away
Leave that memory behind
I can't. I can't.
You're stuck there like heat to a flame.

Flutter Effect

The butterfly
Has landed on my life
Change

Hear the phone call
From the other end of the world
The wings beat

Pick up the quitcase
Carrying away memories and all
The wings beat

Taste the raindrops
Flooding my eyes in light of life
The wings beat

Look through the fingers
Of the hiding child in plain sight
The wings beat

Inhale the scent of spice
Amidst the man from a mystery source
The wings beat

It is all different
Irreversible and clear as glass
The wings beat

Working Title

Close my eyes but I can't stop the flow
Life streaming down my face
In still photographs
The captured moments of what's left
Silent frames of it all
Phrases of rapture
Earthquakes in my world
Tumble through the revolution
Freeze the wind I'm blowing in
To a standstill on the edge of time

Out of the Deep

I am free in my depression
But when I see you I can't
Help but smile
When I see your rare face
Came in clear
An eye in mine
Your smell so calming
That spice of life
What is this strance affection
I cannot understand
And you basically ignore
I've never had you but I
Miss you so much
Pull me out of this standstill
Rescue me to life.
