1.Angeltread
Crickets rhythmically sing
Their mournful melodies
A monotone by request
But they fail, they fail
To soothe the mess
Hands rhythmically grope
The sheets again for you
And off-rhythm the time slows
To make moments eternal
Moments eternal
Is this some kind of holy test
To stitch the treadmarks off my chest
To get up and walk outside my head
On a holy search for angeltread
Now i've lost my fear
So i pray that you come near
With a million sparkly lights
And help me, help me through the night
The milky prints of spirits near
I pray that they have lost their fear
A million wisps of sparkly light
Weaving through the walls...
2.Field Of Flowers
Let me, let me know what makes you happy
And i'll do it over, over and over again
Let me know just how you love me
And we'll spin around again in this field of flowers we're in
I wish to quote from whitman now
To show the way i feel, i feel about you
Oh about you
Because it's a 'subtle electric fire' you light in me
Every time i see you
So let's dance again in this field of flowers we're in
These lyrics are so frivolous they really have no meaning
But i wrote them for you and anywhere i would be with you
No matter where, but for now we're here
So let's spin around again in this field of flowers we're in
Let's spin again in this field of flowers we're in
3.Healer
Amber liquid wetting winecups to the stem
Spilling drops to glisten on the earth like little gems
That myself mistook so foolishly when i stopped to steal a drink
Of the liquid amber melting in my eyes, in my hands, and on my
lips
Earthy blankets full of golden lint and thread
I see the children play as i am on my way again
To another place; i'm sorry to say that we
Blurred the picket fence
Still the children play, they wrap themselves in the middle
To sip sunlight and drink innocence
Hey today
Beauty is my healer
Hey today
I'm gonna steal her
4.Love, Salvation, The Fear Of Death
Well i'm staring straight into the face of hell
You're so close and you can't even tell
I'm so wrapped up inside
Because i don't have much to love
Horrified i feel from pits unseen
Falling off my pedestal of plentiful deeds
As it crumbles down on top of me
I contemplate my lack of love
Come and save my soul
Before it's not too late
I'm not afraid to admit
How much i hate myself
All these gongs and cymbals ring inside my head
5.Fatherless & The Widow
Fatherless and the widow
Stricken down by the hand of death
Grasping for security
Anticipation of the imminent next
Of the imminent next
The fatherless and the widow
Find their souls filled with fear
Her lover gone forever
His hand to hold is never coming back
Never coming back
Behind closed doors they cry their tears
Behind closed doors they reveal their fears
To the god in heaven above
To the god in heaven above
6.Within A Room Somewhere
I breathe the mist
Floating about the stars
I can caress
With velvet hands
I breathe the mist
Floating within, without this pen
This pen between my fingers
Messiah
I know you are there
Within, without me
Holding me
Messiah
I know you are there
Catching, carrying
This beautiful mess
Escape the pain
Within a room somewhere
Escape the pain
So deep inside the soul
I have no key
No map to find
7.Thought Menagerie
I only want what's mine
That's what i came to find
A little respect that's all
From you
Because one has his natural right
But somehow that doesn't seem right
Not when i look at myself
I was taken on a trip to see
A miniscule menagerie in my soul
Where all the thoughts have escaped the cage
And vamp across the spiritual plain
It's like i said before
I've got the right to ignore
The ruin in my self
If it involves change
And so i lay it down
Put my humanistic crown
On the shelf
I think i've changed my mind
I'd rather seek than find
The sorrow from you
I won't regret
8.Love Letters In The Sand
How you'd laugh when i cried
Each time i saw the tide
Take our love letters
From the sand
You made a vow
That you
Would always be true
But somehow that vow
Meant nothing to you
Now my broken heart aches
With every wave that breaks
Over love letters in the sand
All the days like today
We pass the time away
Writing love letters in the sand
9.Spotlight
Big time, bright lights
The world is looking for someone to show them the daylight
But it's not me i am not the one
For simple love look to the son
Spotlight get me out of this spotlight
It looked okay but somehow it doesn't feel right
A lifelong dream now reality
I never thought that it could happen to me
Big time, high life
Shattered hopes and disillusioned insight
He can give it to you and he can take it away
Just as sure as the morning is the start of day
Sometimes in your life
The world is going to put you under the spotlight
It's easy to follow not hard to pursue
You won't know that it happened to you
10.Dresses
In the middle of my mourning
Sits joy like ahappy child
In the middle of this death
I must cry with life for a while
And death is great
We are in his keep, laughing and whole
When we feel deep in life
He dares weep, deep in our soul
And you are gone
But you are perfect now
And you like to dress
You wear dresses that never fade
And you are gone
(my mother cried she said you'd gone away)
But you are perfect now
(and now a part of me must do the same)
And you like to dress
(but i know i must be thankful)
You wear dresses that never fade
You wear dresses that never fade
11.Bleeding
Deep inside the darkest night
Is drinking in the light
From pinholes pricked
Holy needles knicked
In a canopy of white
I'm alone, i'm alone
And i'm beating my soul to make it bleed a drop of hope
Then i'll drink it up in a golden cup and let it grow inside
And i fear that you've gone away
But you must be somewhere near
The fire fades so the deepest shades
Slowly trickle down the wall
In a room i hide will i come outside
And have some kind of fall
All my words, all my words
They have lost all their worth
Nothing's good enough for anyone
And the look on my face
Leaves a subtle trace of the change
That is to come
12.I Can't Explain
I've wrapped myself up
In a universe again
And let the darkness quell
My matchflame confidence
And unwillingly i hide
The lever i must find
To release the deep
The tears withheld inside
But i can't explain
I can't make sense of the
Things i'm saying
The crystal tears
Are sliding down again
Your moonlit cheeks
And soaking silken lips
If this pain is so real
There's a hand that someday must heal
And give us the words
That time steals and won't let us say
13.You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch
you're a mean one, mr. grinch
Author:dr. seuss
You're a mean one, mr. grinch.
You really are a heel.
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel.
Mr. grinch.
You're a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You're a monster, mr. grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul.
Mr. grinch.
I wouldn't touch you, with a
Thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You're a vile one, mr. grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crockodile.
You're a foul one, mr. grinch.
You're a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. grinch.
The three words that best describe you,
Are, and i quote: 'stink. stank. stunk.'
You're a rotter, mr. grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots.
Your heart's a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. grinch.
Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
With the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
Rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, mr. grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You're a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. grinch.
You're a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
Sandwich
With arsenic sauce.
14.Love, Salvation, the Fear of Death
Well I'm staring straight into the face of hell
You're so close and you can't even tell
And I'm so wrapped up inside
I don't have much to love
Horrified I reel from pits unseen
Falling off my pedestal of plentiful deeds
As it crumbles down on top of me
I contemplate my lack of love
Chorus
Come and save my soul
Before it's not too late
I'm not afraid to admit
How much I hate myself
All these gongs and cymbals ring inside my head
Surrendered body to the flames has singed the skin
Can't speak in tongues and even if I could it's nothing
Because I cannot love
chorus
Well I'm staring straight into the face of hell
I'm so close and I can't even tell
I'm so afraid I'll amount to nothing
'cause I don't have much to love
[much to love
Much to love
Much to love]
15.The Garden
White ribbon
Wedding gown
She walked into the garden
What has she found
Oh sorrow
Untold sorrow
There would be no groom
She left him as she
Found him
Empty inside
But this time it was
Much too late
Nothing to hide
Oh her soul
Never left the garden
Black ribbon
Long black gown
She's walking through
Her memory
She's so alone
16.Trust
Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your path straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And he will carry you through
Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on You, when things are going rough
But then I turn my eyes up to the sky
And I hear Your voice
It says to me
Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your path straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And he will carry you through
And He will carry you through
