I have wasted ten years in a blind-fold,
Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight.
I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl,
Losing the reflection of a fight.
But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north).
There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part.
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt).
By the lightning and the thunder
Shining from the compass of my heart (shining from my heart).
I have flown the frantic flight of the bat-wing
And only known the dark because of that
I have seized death's door-handle
Like a fish out of the water
Waiting for the mercy of the cat.
But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north).
There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part.
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt).
By the lightning and the thunder

I have wasted ten years in a [unverified] blind-fold
Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight
I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl
Losing the reflection of a fight
But like a compass seeking North
There lives in me a still sure spirit part
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder
By the lightning and the thunder
Shining from the compass of my heart
I have flown the frantic flight of the bat-wing
And only known the dark because of that
I have seized death's door-handle
Like a fish out of the water
Waiting, waiting for the mercy of the cat
But like a compass seeking North
There lives in me a still sure spirit part
Clouds of doubt are cut asunder
By the lightning and the thunder

And now I know the only compass that I need
Is the one leads back to you
And I know the only compass that I need
Is the one leads back to you.
And the burning blisters on my feet will call
To hold me as I'm close to fall
Away from the home of your arms I stray
Off the radar and into harm's way.
Now I know the only compass that I need
Is the one that leads back to you.
Yea coffee wakes the hand again
Coaxing letters from the pen
But words just sit like empty scribbles
Such empty caffeinated riddles.
Only a heart knows where I've been
Only a heart knows where I've been
Only your heart knows where I've been.
Now I know the only compass that I need
Is the one leads back to you
Now I know the only compass that I need
Is the one leads back to you.
Only your heart knows where I've been
Low down, low down, low down in the westside of town
Can't hold my head up high so I'm licking the ground
Tasting my dirt cries and drinking their sound
Low low westside of town.
Needing to tease out the knots and the tangles
Join up the dots, find the yolk in the scrambles
Find a soft clearing somewhere in the shambles
Take a knife to the bush of brambles

The weight came and went and took my will to live
Spoiled by defeat, forced to drown in what's left of me
That's when breathing became routine
And I could feel myself fading
No direction, I am a compass
Constantly spinning
Constantly searching for the end
Never reaching our destination
But the goal was never when
Or where
Or who...
It was only you
I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there
You promised you'd never let me go
But I don't know what I believe anymore
Affection allowed me to let the light in
The fear made me whole again
Help me rebuild my broken bones
Help me regain my sanity
But with caution always present
Our pasts manifest themselves
And we act as if this is what we deserve
But I refuse to fail again
I'd force my ghost to write your name in the flowers on my grave
I watched the world give up on me
I used to spend my nights praying for air in my bloodstream
Now I long to feel your breath pass throughout my arteries
The goal was never when
Or where
Or who...
It was only you
I appeared in your arms as if I had been born there
You promised you'd never let me go
But I don't know what I believe anymore
Fill me with your faith and let me leave
I'm scratching at my skin to take my mind
Off the absence we've created
The lines blur together like the veins in my arms
And I wish I wasn't so alone

"Compass"
How can she say she's lost without him?
He's not a compass; he never was.
How can she say life has no meaning?
Life meant something before he came along; it still does.
How can she say he stole her heart?
You can't steal what's given away.
Love isn't blind, but sometimes it's short-sighted,
And if you're not careful you can lose your way.
For as long as I've known her, she's either been with someone,
Breaking up with someone, or dating five or six men
Looking for that special someone.
Her girlfriends were all good-naturedly envious
Of her beauty, her warmth, her sense of humor.
Everywhere we'd go, she'd always be the center of attention
Without trying to be.
When he came along, at first they appeared to be
An unlikely pairing, but they did look wonderful together.
Soon their differences only served to make them more attractive to each other.
And even they began to think of themselves as the perfect couple.
She was a stunning bride.
How can she say she's lost without him?
He's not a compass; he never was.
How can she say life has no meaning?
Life meant something before he came along; it still does.
How can she say he stole her heart?
You can't steal what's given away.
Love isn't blind, but sometimes it's short-sighted,
And if you're not careful you can lose your way.
At the wedding his friends clapped him on the back,
Congratulated him, not knowing that he never quite felt
He measured up to her standards.
Neither did he nor did we know that her entire sense
Of self-esteem was directly tied to
Whomever was the current man in her life.
To hear him discuss it, he says that every day
During the last two years of their marriage
He was consciously inching away, emotionally distancing himself from her,
But it was done in such a gradual, imperceptible manner
That when he took that final, and to him, inevitable step out the door,
To her it was a bolt out of the blue.
The irony of it is, in his own way,
He's just as lost and as hurt and as angry
About all of this as she is,
Though she will never believe that.
How can she say she's lost without him?
He's not a compass; he never was.
How can she say life has no meaning?
Life meant something before he came along; it still does.
How can she say he stole her heart?
You can't steal what's given away.
Love isn't blind, but sometimes it's short-sighted,
And if you're not careful you can lose your way.

The ship is sailing freely and the oceans are maids
We see the sky ahead painted in grey
To seek a world of peace we explore new worlds
Since the flood that washed away our homeland
Yet underwater might be our end
And if we should fail with our lives
It'd be the extinction of our kind
Longing to reach inner peace
And find a shelter
Release the anchor
In this world where only power leads
And no one tends to make sense
Heading forward deeper, far abroad
The prow looks so small
The ship like a shard
Surrounded by water
A wave is coming
Oh, we might never breathe again
Time to say goodbye
To this damn refugee life
Drowned in sand
And if we should fail with our lives
It'd be the extinction of our kind
Longing to reach inner peace
And find a shelter
Release the anchor
In this world where only power leads

Leeches behold you bleed our daylight faces
Bastard screams puncture my thundernight
A sickle smile crafting words with a firetongue
My sanity is cast to the worms
And it's over before it's under (The creation of nothingness)
They beckon you with a siren's call
Hedon heralds of the downward spiral
Point me to the sky, let me know
Directions in which I should go
Now's the time, read the signs, follow and prepare new adventures for the
mind
Until the echoes of the stormbreed have gone
You know your time is wasted, be honest with me
I'll take what's mine, give it back to me
Piece of mind, tranquility
My ears don't listen, they're so full of soil
In this peaceful prison, what's become of my life
(Point me to the sky,) let me know
Directions in which I should go
Now's the time, read the signs, follow and prepare new adventures for the mind

Roll in, come the storm
Cue the lucky man, his time has come
Right there in your arms
You hold the world
Roll in and the night is long
Come on, lucky bird, sing a golden dawn
For those without intent
Who've wrecked themselves against loves rocky shore
How can you know
With the way things change?
Where to point yourself and then
Where do you go?
You wind up dreams
And it's easy 'cause you're seventeen
And favored by the wind
And the whole world's waiting
Roll in on your perfect storm
Gifted broken bird rest in my arms
Till right you are again
