B-side
I'm glad of the time we've spent, through all the good times and the bad you've always been there for your friends. It's a tough time for all of us, I hope you'll understand. My decision is tough to make, as much as I wanted to stay with you for the rest of the way, I guess self-preservation is in my best interest. What happened to us, was a test of faith, our friendship is at stake. It's been a lesson for all of us, and we've learned it the hard way. We're reckless and were careless. We ignored the signs, we dismissed the warnings. We thought we're invincible. I hope this is not goodbye,...

Broken Compass
We've been running in circles
Going round and round and round
In this never-ending cycle
Our lives spiraling out of hand
Was it worth it? with all that we've done
Will I ever win this game
Or shall I go down in shame
Trying to find peace
Deep within my soul
Keep searching for the answers we ought to know
We've been going on in circles
Flying and floating with the wind
Chasing our dreams away
Remember what we used to say?
Was it worth it? the confusion that we made
Will I ever win this game
Or look for someone else...
Going round and round and round
In this never-ending cycle
Our lives spiraling out of hand
Was it worth it? with all that we've done
Will I ever win this game
Or shall I go down in shame
Trying to find peace
Deep within my soul
Keep searching for the answers we ought to know
We've been going on in circles
Flying and floating with the wind
Chasing our dreams away
Remember what we used to say?
Was it worth it? the confusion that we made
Will I ever win this game
Or look for someone else...

LOVE POEM

DIPOLE MOMENT
Attracted by the moment
Everything fits right into place
Love grows, our vows unbroken
All we have is ourselves to play
Another place
Another chance to try
And when all else fails
All we have to do is fly away
But no matter how we try
We still have no clue why
We're so close yet so far away
Or maybe this is our fate
As if the universe conspires
That the two of us divide
Are we too late to say goodbye
Seize the moment
Before we fall and fade
Break the veil of silence
And go our separate ways
...

Mad Hatter
I'm hearing voices inside my head
Screaming and shouting
Laughter filled with dread
Noises distorted from the past
I'll carry this 'til my life last
Where is all this coming from
Why does it have to be me to succumb
To this disease that takes over the brain and make it numb
Numb of all the feelings i have inside
It really takes its toll when you can't laugh or cry
Manic episodes, delusional thoughts
How hard it is live with these
The beaming smile you used to see
Those happy moments you shared with me
Now turned to frown and...

Numb of all the feelings i have inside

Somnia
Lying in my bed
Looking at the window
Staring at the moon
Silver light caress my room
Feeling light like feather
Floating in a haze
Frozen pillows above my head
Confusion fills me instead
Wandering illusion
Wallow in the light
Serve me right
Eloquent dream
Dancing in the night
Hold me tight
Sleep silently falling
I'm slowly drifting away
Take me to a place
Where i can stay
My soul's fading away
Like silent screams
Deep into slumber
Gracefully going under
Looking at the window
Staring at the moon
Silver light caress my room
Feeling light like feather
Floating in a haze
Frozen pillows above my head
Confusion fills me instead
Wandering illusion
Wallow in the light
Serve me right
Eloquent dream
Dancing in the night
Hold me tight
Sleep silently falling
I'm slowly drifting away
Take me to a place
Where i can stay
My soul's fading away
Like silent screams
Deep into slumber
Gracefully going under

How would you describe a sunset?
As if the colors of light is enough to calm you
Like a big ball of inspiration in the sky
A quiet symphony slowly dying down
Its friendly beam of light
Is like an old friend waving goodbye
Telling you to see them some other time
Like a big ball of inspiration in the sky
A quiet symphony slowly dying down
Its friendly beam of light
Is like an old friend waving goodbye
Telling you to see them some other time

Dream is Destiny
We're moving farther in this waking life
We're going somewhere deep into our minds
That dream you used to have, where is it now
That life you used to live, what took it away
If we can make the music cause a stir
Keep the melody alive
Vibrating, echoing through the clouds
Just make it groove and glide
Moving farther away, to the end of this lifetime
Going deeper into the recesses of our minds
Suddenly when your senses pass
Can you remember feeling much too close?
Much too close for this to end
That awful nagging feeling of...
We're going somewhere deep into our minds
