we cross the t's and dot the i's
but in seductive darkness we realize
there's something unsaid, something unforgiven
something dead amidst what we now live in
taking it's toll while bringing out the worst
soliloquies in solitude to which we are cursed
embracing the anthem of a foreign march to the tide
stumbled down into frigid waters as in you I died
a burden too heavy and a weight too strong
nightmares made political by such a meaningless song
fallen to the truest catalyst for a martyr's blame
empowered through poverty stripping me to no shame
gone, oh long gone yesterday, the twilight of an ember
the pacesetter for a tomorrow is what I try to remember

Touch my Hand Little Princess
Hold tight to the truth and speak upon the wind
So that I may awaken from the depths of hell I live in
Touch my hand little princess, give me the gift of your presence
So long I slept, spun along the skies by your essence
The keeper of life shows me a sign of heaven in your eyes
Every sacred moment you offer up to me a new surprise
Yesterday lost to madness I could not see beyond the night
But you were here with me, though I was blinded to sight
My beloved, my little lady who whispers a dream come true
Innocence cherished in the light I see in you
At an arms length I stay only to keep you safe from the horror show
You're the reason for any goodness that may be left for me to know
I love you baby girl, just learn one thing if you can from a broken man like me
that I'm the perfect example of who you don't want to be
So that I may awaken from the depths of hell I live in
Touch my hand little princess, give me the gift of your presence
So long I slept, spun along the skies by your essence
The keeper of life shows me a sign of heaven in your eyes
Every sacred moment you offer up to me a new surprise
Yesterday lost to madness I could not see beyond the night
But you were here with me, though I was blinded to sight
My beloved, my little lady who whispers a dream come true
Innocence cherished in the light I see in you
At an arms length I stay only to keep you safe from the horror show
You're the reason for any goodness that may be left for me to know
I love you baby girl, just learn one thing if you can from a broken man like me
that I'm the perfect example of who you don't want to be
fear relapse
there is a chill in the air
love left lonely somewhere
tonight the curtain calls
fear relapse as a tear falls
burdened insanity by repetitious results
nailed upon the cross by your insults
caressing pain of such a waste
try to swallow without the taste
staring at the darkness within
where the ending has to begin
loosened breath is where we die
can't face truth in another lie
perfected pain such a mystery
strengthens to write a new history
always another bend in the road
out there another heart turns cold
that is searching to finally see
the beautiful darkness in me
love left lonely somewhere
tonight the curtain calls
fear relapse as a tear falls
burdened insanity by repetitious results
nailed upon the cross by your insults
caressing pain of such a waste
try to swallow without the taste
staring at the darkness within
where the ending has to begin
loosened breath is where we die
can't face truth in another lie
perfected pain such a mystery
strengthens to write a new history
always another bend in the road
out there another heart turns cold
that is searching to finally see
the beautiful darkness in me
