Lights

Impossible tasks that were perfect to start
I'd just like to ask why you don't have a heart
You're playing a game with your water and toys
Your big cannons and beers with the boys
I'd never once trust you and never would listen
For the lies you were told are what crafted your mission
It's never too late to just let me be me
Don't think I don't love to be colored and see
I'm not being taken I'm taking this back
All the literal dresses I wore were black
This isn't a lie I was more than you know
With the friends and companionship all lit aglow
A few chains and some metal to compliment gowns
A nice shine in the ear could tear any wall down
A pair of half skirts, well why the hell not
What are you complaining about, I think I look hot
I'd rather be me and still chase down your goals
Than feel like I'm lost as I drone in your coals

You yeah you

Having let go of all of the one's that you knew
Let go of the past as I've let go of you
My future seems brighter and happier too
Knowing she'll make it I step on ahead
No matter I never once sat on her bed
For the strangest demeaner and her dreams to have wed
All in the past and I'll never look back
Knowing you'll listen to pleas not to crack
Not to be near any persons I lack
I have all my love for the world in hand
I'm willing to try and I know I will land
Let's flip on the switch and get back on the stand
This is now a true calling a reason to be
As I hope is for you it is surely for me
There is now a reason to fight so let's see
How far I will make it as I am ready
Now standing as one with the world and we
I'm open to all and I wil now be set free

Nevermore

I look at my deck and her worn out appearance
The cracks in her bow that won't mend
She's older now still as she's severed
From the pieces allowed here to end
I'll set her aside as I'll not want to hide
From the moments I'd seen with days passing
I'll toss her old trucks and her bearings and wheels
As if undone without ever asking
I'll truly let go but I want you to know
It was an honor to know you in passing

Not the only one

A dream, a memory, both in fact
For the will now to live is still no will to act
For I'm biding my time to be seen where I must
You'll understand reason for all this I trust
No more will the movements be hated but still
I'll hold back til the morrow, the moving has thrilled
Once gone from a place set so deep in the muck
That the presence of hope must be carefully tucked
In a bag that I keep in a far away land
With those loved ones I'll know who'll use soft gentle hands
To care for it, nurture it, hold it so dear
Til I've set off on my journey and not looked back here
In all of the ways I have meant for my eyes
To depart from the things set forth by the unwise
I'm pleading to God and the devils and dreamers
The gods of Atlantis, the monsters, the schemers
Please let your dreams be passed on to another
For all of these moments I'll ask as a brother
I have simply one purpose, one goal, maybe mission
To make more of myself than my mother envisioned

The Wailing Wall

Calling on all this is bigger than most
For the strain of these shackles I am being held host
But I see there's a way to be freed from this post
In the mind I do wander from time to some time
But my goal since the longest before is to climb
I won't stop believing til the flag is claimed mine
I'll know who's behind me but won't flinch not once
For believing is being and now's the time crunch
To prove I can move beyond binary suns
For they too do set and there wouldn't be dreams
I've been holding the moment forever it seems
Only one that could last if assembled full steam

Think Of Me Softly

Raised to be something a bit different it seems
Something that isn't quite right
Raised on discouragement but held up by dreams
No matter the day or the night
She raised me to love and to cherish the world
A hippie you'd say in some ways
He raised me to chuckle and talk down to girls
Not sure where it came from but stayed
The truth sometimes hurts and the fault isn't his
He was raised in a near ancient time
And it's actually made me better for this
For I'd rather have lyrics and rhymes
I picked apart flaws and then set down some laws
I made up a bit of a pact
I kept myself humble and knew what I saw
So I'd know how I never should act
unfortunate now in my age as a man
It's so hard to convince I'd digress
To look at me seeing things dressed how I can
I would rather have tea than have sex

And so this is Christmas

Intimately fearful of intimacy
I'll stress this point time and again
For there is no meaning to most that we see
Or bedding a woman unnamed
If a few moments time could be spent in whisper
As we sit and spin tales of our past
Just to wait through the moments I've kissed her
Could I ever be pressed to the task
As I've grown with a man who treats woman like toys
Like a fashionable meat to be bought
Who behind backs speaks so fowl to the boys
Now how is that a way to be taught
