Tell me softly now
that you're leaving
Broken heart upon my sleeve
still bleeding
Kissing faithful lips
of deception
Stripping everything
with no exceptions
Just walk away, no better yet run
(if it's your desire)
You're kidding yourself if you think that I'll come
Cause it's not worth my time
Tell me something now
do you remember
All the endless dreams
of love, surrendered
Crystal tears that flow
will fall and shatter
If you came back to me
it wouldn't matter
I really want to try and understand you
but I can't listen
Do you ever try and understand me
I don't think so
Push me to the edge of how I feel
I can't take it
Looked into the window of my soul
hated what I saw
Two people rowin' in different directions
It's not worth my time
Two people rowin' in different directions
It's not worth my time

Mother of Pearl

Mother of pearl won't you let him
die so freely
your son means the world
but it's the way that you treat me
in the tone that you talk
you'll never make him a man
could be hard as a rock
but he's ruled by the hand
of the mother of pearl
Qhat in the world ever gave you the right
The mother of pearl
will tuck you clean outta sight
you go back to see her
when she turn sixty-four
and all she can say
is you need to see more
of the mother of pearl
She never wanted to hurt you
pushed you outta the nest just to cut you
with the guilt you despise
she wipes the tears from your eyes
and puts you back on your feet
once again
She gave him away all the sudden
things ain't so easy
suffocated by the thoughts
of what he's doin'
is it pleasing?
He never got her grace
took a step before
He looked both ways
put his elbows on the table
and all the punishment
it bled away
it's written on his face
a hollow note, a shallow cry
he's gonna take it to his grave
beyond the day that he dies
for the mother of pearl
Mother of pearl, won't you let him say goodbye?

Where the Light Ends

Shadows move dark through air
Familiar face cast in despair
A girl I know remembers of…
A light too far, too far to see
A sea of light pours over me
Emerging birds of peace and love
Drifting slowly, twisting only the images of innocence
Goddess of sleep dawning her black
She takes my hand, I can’t take it back
I offer more just to remain
WithIn a realm of altered states, i
Just like the last that breath you take
Is where King Serapis remains
Drifting slowly, twisting only the images of innocence
The resurrection of my affection for pain and divinity.
Darkness – open your mind
Light, where the light ends.
Daylight – leaves you blind
Sight – where the light ends
Lile the stigma of a darker beauty
Let it shine inside of you
With the knowledge that your mind can travel’
Brilliant dreams come into view
Darkness – open your mind
Light, where the light ends.
Daylight – leaves you blind
Sight – where the light ends
