Why

She looked into her mother's raging tear filled blue eyes and asked, "Mommy? Why can't you live in the house that you built? why don't you have money?  You can get some at the bank. Mommy? Why doesn't anyone want to love you?"
Her little hands brushed her mothers face as tears fell like heavy oil to her feet. Her mother answered through sobs, "I don't know baby. I don't know anything anymore. I love you."

burnt bridges

you push me off to sea

you take down pictures of me
tell me you want me and leave
yet you wear my name on your sleeve

fill yourself with emptiness

take a look around

take a look around
take a look around
everywhere you look
it's where i'll be found

you won't allow yourself to love me

you suffer from two faces

a black winged dove

bound in scattered places

a mind split in two by fear
a fear of love, of devotion and loyalty
nothing more than a fear of reality
a fear of maturity
the realization of purity
manifesting itself and replacing the cruelty
that binds your mind with a distorted finality

take a look around

take a look around
take a look around
everywhere you look
it's where i'll be found

flames of the bridges i've burnt light my way
i move forward in thought but like a stone i stay
waiting for you to catch up these days
waiting for you to see the lit ways
that i've shown for you
paved for you
stand at the end of the path for you
light bright by the bridges i burnt for you

take a look around

take a look around
take a look around
everywhere you look
it's where i'll be found

you know the answers that lie in the deep
your heart speaks the truth, let it steap
feel that bullet that burns in your chest
make mends with your past, lay it down let it rest
the light hurts your eyes as you crawl from the dark
only love can lift all that's stark

only with love there is the a stable truth
only with love you you will find the fountain of youth
crawl away from the dark, come from behind the stone
start living your life, no longer alone
there is nothing to fear, there never has been
only the pains of that past, now shed that skin
let the serpent die, let the heart finally fly

take a look around

take a look around
take a look around
everywhere you look
it's where i'll be found

it's time, it's time to let go of childish ways
to be a man, to leave that phase
move forward in life with the brave
separate yourself from the mediocre rotting in their cave
why be confused and sacred with the rest?
be proud take loves bullets to the chest
only the wise confront the devil
and take their existence to the next level

take a look around

take a look around
