Loving Lies
Here I sit in this room all alone. Wanting, longing for the ring from the phone; for the call from you that you're on your way home. When the phone finally rings, I sigh with relief.
"I'll be home soon," you say, "I was out with the girls and lost track of time."
The rain begins to fall as I listen to your lies. If only your friends hadn't called just before asking where you were. If only you stayed true and didn't run around like a harlot from the days of old. As I hang up the phone I head to our room... my room now. I will have your things packed by...

Future Choices
Shepard me as I am born into this world.
Nurture me as I grow through each moment.
Hold me as I try to stand for the first time.
Catch me as I take a step or two before falling.
Help me as I begin to learn.
Comfort me as I allow my heart to be broken.
Heal me as I come under the curse of sickness.
Find me as I wander off and get lost.
Love me as I become someone a parent can be proud of.
or in an alternate reality...
Hate me as I have become too much of a disappointment.
Leave me as I go against everything you hold dear. ...

Gotham's Knight
As the sun sets and a darkness falls over the city, there is one who rises. Although his body has been broken and his mind has begun to grow frail, he will continue to fight until he meets his mortal end. He's faced jokes, riddles, luck, birds, ice, vines, and even his own mind. A child once tortured by the winged creatures of the night, consumed by the guilt of his parents' demise. Now as an adult he uses his fear to torment his enemies and the guilt that once consumed him is now the only motivation he needs. Though he cannot live forever, the symbol of hope he has created will last on...

Be Until You Are Not
Breathe until you gasp.
Eat until you starve.
Drink until you choke.
Speak until you're speechless.
Listen until you're deaf.
Look until you're blind.
Stand until you kneel.
Walk until you stumble.
Run until you trip.
Drive until you crash.
Fly until you fall.
Fight until you flee.
Swim until you drowned.
Bend until you break.
Love until you Hate.
Live until you die.
Be until you are not.
Eat until you starve.
Drink until you choke.
Speak until you're speechless.
Listen until you're deaf.
Look until you're blind.
Stand until you kneel.
Walk until you stumble.
Run until you trip.
Drive until you crash.
Fly until you fall.
Fight until you flee.
Swim until you drowned.
Bend until you break.
Love until you Hate.
Live until you die.
Be until you are not.

The Great Illusion
It is all just an illusion
When you think you've got It all
When It finally make you happy
When It cannot possibly go wrong
When It is perfectly perfect
...It's gone
.....vanished
........disappeared
Then you think about It
And you realize It was never there
You never really had It
It was just an illusion
When you think you've got It all
When It finally make you happy
When It cannot possibly go wrong
When It is perfectly perfect
...It's gone
.....vanished
........disappeared
Then you think about It
And you realize It was never there
You never really had It
It was just an illusion

Quiero, no quiero.
Quiero que tú te caigas.
Quiero que tú tropieces.
Quiero que tú quiebres.
No quiero que tú me necesites.
No quiero que tú pienses en mí.
No quiero que tú me veas.
Quiero volar.
Quiero dejarte.
Quiero ser libre.
Quiero que tú estés triste.
Quiero que tú sientas dolor.
Quiero que tú seas sola.
Quiero que tú tropieces.
Quiero que tú quiebres.
No quiero que tú me necesites.
No quiero que tú pienses en mí.
No quiero que tú me veas.
Quiero volar.
Quiero dejarte.
Quiero ser libre.
Quiero que tú estés triste.
Quiero que tú sientas dolor.
Quiero que tú seas sola.

To.... That would be..
To Forget,
To move on from there.
That would be a luxury.
To Remember,
To hold onto her.
That would be a dream.
To Leave,
To run away from here.
That would be cowardly.
To Stay,
To keep the memories near.
That would be surreal.
To move on from there.
That would be a luxury.
To Remember,

That would be a dream.

Lingering Necessity
I scream my lungs out in silence
But the night is too dense
I beg of your forgiveness
Yet you never hear my pleas through this darkness
I think of you while I sleep
And pray that you'll be in my dreams
Still I awaken in dissapointment from a dreamless rest
To find my bed empty without you
Filled only with lonliness at best
But the night is too dense
I beg of your forgiveness
Yet you never hear my pleas through this darkness
I think of you while I sleep
And pray that you'll be in my dreams
Still I awaken in dissapointment from a dreamless rest
To find my bed empty without you
Filled only with lonliness at best

Someday
Gonna find that one special girl
That one perfect chick
Someone to call my baby
My one and only lady
We'll make each day our own
Never looking back
Living in our private world
Escaping everyday realities
We could survive the apocalypse
Just by being together
Someday him and her will be us
Someday you and I will be we
Together Us
Together We
Forever yours
Forever mine
I'll keep searching until I find her
I won't ever give up
Maybe not today
Maybe not tomorrow
But someday it'll be easy...
That one perfect chick

Why, when push comes to shove, why am I so shy?
And when you walk by,
I feel as though I could fly;
Fly as high as the sky,
The sky so high in the month of July.
You remind me of this thing; love,
The love of your soul as white as a dove;
A dove, I see you as you soar up above,
So far above me that this yearning is all I know of.
Yet I sit here all shy,
So shy, to say I could speak is a lie;
Forget this lie for I will think of a play so sly,
A plan too sly for me as I slowly allow this feeling to die.
I feel as though I could fly;

I Want You
My mind is blank.
The slate wiped clean.
I know not what to do,
Nor what I should think.
As I look at the world around me,
Finally the answer comes through.
I see what I’ve always wanted.
I want you,
With no strings attached.
I want just you and me together,
Happy,
Never ending.
Forever our feelings will last,
Until the afterlife and throughout.
I want you for an eternity,
And an eternity more. I want you forever.
I want you when you’re mad;
I want you when you’re gone.
I have only one question.
Will you still want me...
The slate wiped clean.
I know not what to do,
Nor what I should think.
As I look at the world around me,
Finally the answer comes through.
I see what I’ve always wanted.
I want you,
With no strings attached.
I want just you and me together,
Happy,
Never ending.
Forever our feelings will last,
Until the afterlife and throughout.
I want you for an eternity,
And an eternity more. I want you forever.
I want you when you’re mad;
I want you when you’re gone.
I have only one question.
Will you still want me...
