Yesterday i had a good time
I found a friend who’d share the night
And make me feel alive again somehow
I sure needed to feel joy all right

It’s not often I see
A soul so released
I cried out please
Help me to feel

Two souls meeting

Two Souls

I asked you for some salvation
And you surely did provide
Like a torch leading the way through the night
You showed me the way and had nothing to hide

I don’t know who I am
Sometimes I don’t give a damn
But in you I see some hope
To help me up from this slippery slope

Two souls meeting

Two Souls

Lying in bed all day
Maybe theres something going on
So I try to find my black coat
It’s not top notch but it’s okay

Staring out the window now
The cars are just rolling by
So many people going somewhere
Some break the law some their vows

How long can you live with a lie
A lie that’s tearing you apart.
You can pretend and deceive
But you’re just deceived in your heart

I want more worlds to explore
I don’t want to be trapped
I’m walking out of that door
Hoping for some luck

I’m walking tall tonight
Through many tainted streets
In order to feel alive somehow
To get that feeling back in my gut
I’m no fool all right
I’m walking tall tonight

I hear and I see
Trouble all around the world
And many worries on my mind
Makes it so hard too feel

I feel for the ones
Those who never chase their dreams
The ones who struggle for a meal
Those constantly on the run

This is not easy to bear
Upon a single pair of shoulders
And some people just don’t care
They just do what their parents told ’em

I’ll never be one for fortunes of gold
What good shall it do for my mind
I’ve heard many stories told
And I’m gonna find my time

I’m walking tall tonight
Through many tainted streets
In order to feel alive somehow
To get that feeling back in my gut
I’m no fool all right
I’m walking tall tonight

When I woke up this morning
I was feeling all right
But there was this yearning
I had so many doubts

It’s so very hard for me
To sit down and focus my mind
So very hard to see
Beyond false words unkind

Well you know sometimes I get lost in the clouds every day
But I can’t go there today because you know there’s a price you pay

For losing control
I’d always been told
That
You’re not made for that role

Still I’m losing control
As my life unfolds
I’m losing control

Well I went out for a walk
A fresh view of the world
But all I hear is the same old talk
And it’s getting pretty old

You know I hear all your words
They’re just whispers of Insanity
When I hear all your words
I wish I’d been exempt from gravity

Well you know sometimes I get lost in the clouds every day
You can’t tell me what to do and you can’t tell me what to say

I’m losing control
I’d always been told
That
You’re not made for that role

Still I’m losing control
As my life unfolds
I’m losing control

Into my life you came
Like a storm changed it up
In you I saw the answers
That I could not think of
By myself for a reason
I was held in a prison

I saw your face
Over a cup of tea
We’re not that close
But I can feel
The tension in the air
When my company you share

She’s more than I could dream of
I’m hiding my feelings you know
When my inner voice keeps telling me
Not to let her go
Don’t let her go
Never let her go
Oh you feel for her so
Don’t let her go

I see you wherever I go
Wherever I steer
But are there words
I never get to hear
What hides within your mind
I hope for nothing unkind

As this painting
Is just being started
I hope our paths
Will not be parted
Into separate fates
Where feelings escape

She’s more than I could dream of
I’m hiding my feelings you know
When my inner voice keeps telling me
Not to let her go
Don’t let her go
Never let her go
Oh you feel for her so
Don’t let her go

I am left here
With emotional hunger
As you leave my house
I never stop to wonder
When I’ll see you again
I wonder my friend

There’s no way to tell you
What I need to say
There’s that sensitive line
I can’t cross anyway
‘Cause I need you close
I’m a fool for you I suppose

She’s more than I could dream of
I’m hiding my feelings you know
When my inner voice keeps telling me
Not to let her go
Don’t let her go
Never let her go
Oh you feel for her so
Don’t let her go

In the spiders web
Is where we’re stuck
Unable to move
Now we’re out of luck

We can’t move a muscle
Unable to take a step
This is where we’re stuck
In the spiders web

They came with their artillery first
When violence were their solution
Now they wear their sharp suits
But still with the same delusion

You can fool an entire country
With made up numbers and lies
And I tell you it’s not funny
When it’s an eye for an eye

In the spiders web
Is where we’re stuck
Unable to move
Now we’re out of luck

We can’t move a muscle
Unable to take a step
This is where we’re stuck
In the spiders web

You may have traveled a long way
Searched in flow, searched in ebb
Then you’re first to be sent away
Or placed right into the web

But we must always remember
And we must never forget
Everyone can rise together
To sweep away those threats

In the spiders web
Is where we’re stuck
Unable to move
Now we’re out of luck

We can’t move a muscle
Unable to take a step
This is where we’re stuck
In the spiders web

Well we all had our downs
And we all had our perks
And I thought we’d stick together
But that’s just not how it works

If I could change the past
And rearrange the ticking time
I sure would give it a try
Because those times were fine

But bonds are easily broken
And it’s so sad, but still so true
Those past days of pure joy
Disappeared without a clue

We had each other once
We were blood brothers
We lived and roamed free
And the earth was our mother

Now we’re thousand miles apart
Some are in the mountains, some at sea
We drifted so vague and slow
We didn’t know what would be

Everyone’s finding their way
Starting a new life to live
I’m trying as hard as I can
But I’ve got doubts of what I can give

Yes, what once were is gone
And I guess that’s okay
If you could wear my coat for a day
You’d know I’m headed for the crossroads some day

We had each other once
We were blood brothers
We lived and roamed free
And the earth was our mother

Waking up
Tired
Beside me a half filled cup

Stumblin’ out
Of Bed
Can’t remember last night

There’s a thin line to walk
Between the good and the bad
Too much
Too soon
Too Fast
Will make you forget
What you had

When you were at ease
Yes, when you were at ease
It’s easy to look back
But hard
To find a place
To be at ease

I need
The urge
To see all I can see

And yes
They rule
Just to kill your protests

A place that’s been bought and sold
Is the pavement that we all walk
They took
They took
They took
And fooled us with their talk

So forget for a while
The hardship
Forget for a while
The despair
And imagine the times

When you were at ease
Yes, when you were at ease
It’s easy to look back
But hard
To find a place
To be at ease

I gaze upon the settling sun
For a moment I can unwind
Just sit down and cool off
After a long day with a tortured mind

If there is salvation here
I sure can’t find none
Confined in this cage
This prison that I shun

I dream of the universe
Such a strong dose of reality
When you realize your size
You realize your inability

There are ways to escape
This I must believe
Without my inner spirit
I’d lose my dignity

No I’m not one for mediocrity
When I work, I work hard
But there’s so much more to be found
You just got to get around

I’d sail across the ocean
Just to find another side of me
Something new to discover
And new places to see

But what good is an escape
If you don’t know where to start
I guess it all comes down
To that feeling in your heart

That sudden notion of an idea
Is what leads you into wondering one day
What am I accomplishing right here
Could perhaps come to fruition if I go away

I can hear that whistle a-coming
That train coming up around the bend
But I’m stuck in this twilight zone
I can’t tell you where I’ll end up in the end

But I won’t be traveling towards sorrow
I’ll find a path paved with gold
And i won’t settle for the silver
I swear I’ll struggle ’til I get old

I’m just looking for a break
So my route can be seen clearly
Getting out of the mist now
With my body so weary

Perhaps someone to wake up with
Someone to share my time
And maybe stand beside me
When we would make our climb

Still I’m just that old dreamer
With my morale and my ideals
Maybe something will happen
And perhaps nothing will

Now as i gaze upon the night
I think of others with needs
I find it hard to find serenity
When there’s so many people to feed

I know you are troubled
And down and out

You are carrying a load of sorrow
And it is hard without doubt

I know it has been tough for you

But please let me help you through

Time passes so fast
When you try to live

Suddenly the past gives you shivers
And makes you forgive

Forgive but never forget

Perhaps it still makes you upset

Well it is hard to carry such a load
I am right here to take you home
It is hard to carry a load
So let me close

If i could give you my hand
Would you agree

To travel with me over hills
And over sea

Sleeping side by side

With all trouble defied

Well it is hard to carry such a load
I am right here to take you home
It is card to carry a load
So let me close

Yes it’s hard to carry such a load
I am right here let me take you home
It is card to carry a load
So let me close
To you

Once I had a friend
That I knew was one of a kind
One look in her eyes
I knew we were aligned

I met her one dark night
We watched upon the stars
I knew she was the one
And I dreamt of what could be ours

But she was tied up
And I was too scared
To tell her how i felt
I felt so impaired

If I just could say what
If I just could do that
Maybe someday
We’ll be together me and you

We’ve spent so many hours
Talking about the past for so long
So many countless hours
We were meant to belong

Well she had another
Another guy she loved
I couldn’t ruin what was theirs
So I was torn apart thereof

All I could think of
Was holding her so near
I just wanted her to be close
Feelings I couldn’t ignore

If I just could say what
If I just could do that
Maybe someday
We’ll be together me and you
