The Wisdom
To thirst and to hunger
to know and to act
An eternity to grow
Only an age to discover
Move on, new place, different lights above
What will happen?
For wisdom.
chorus:
A string of pearls grace her neck,
An icey dress kissing the wind,
On a path of greatness
her feet dancing the way.
Thirsting and a hungering,
knowing and a acting
She always attempts the heights.
A vision of Atlantis,
inspiration the sky.
Horizons healed and clear
Smoke a nuiscance of the past.
Problems solved and facts disproven -
Magical knowledge indeed.

chorus:
So many things people say
So many lies they voice, thinking it's true
"I love you" might someday change
Nothing lasts forever
Roses wilt and seasons pass
People inside change and grow old
What was once a happy family may no longer be so
As hearts grow cold.
Words keep coming, said by rote
A ritual now, meaning long lost
Until suddenly it no longer matters
One decides the cherade is worth less than its cost.
chorus
Hard for one and easy for the other (unfair)
or hard for both and all are bitter
Finally the relization sets in, all is different
Memories, a life together, kids - all thrown out on the street, simply litter
There once was a boy who hated many things
He got into fights and only had flings
He would write songs and spend hours online
But one day he realized things weren't fine.
He left his home and started to travel
All his plans were beginning to unravel
Still confused, he arrived in New York City
But for all his questions, he only got pity.
Then he sailed to Madrid
Where he realized he wasn't a kid
He decided he wanted more answers
So he tried to find a necromancer.
In London he found just that guy
But the man only told him a lie
He left London still confused
But received an offer that couldn't be refused.
While in Paris he discov
And I look out the window, see a lone star
My wish is for what should have been
If only I had known
My heart wouldn't be in pieces
But what does it show in lightening quick flashes?
A child's dream I did have
But it fell apart
I lost it somewhere, let it out of my sight
As I look out the window
What do I see?
A lone bird calling to me
Come out and play
Join us as before
But that time is over
Not to happen again
Now my soul's drawn of fantasies, forged by tears
Wishes forsaken, dreams left to rot
With only a whisper left behind
of a memory faded
Who can give me the good pills?
Make me forget my pain
And I look out the wi
I used to love you, now I just like you
I want you to be mine though
I want you to kiss me, to hold me tight
But instead we always screw it up.
My hearts been broken, tears have been cried
All I had to offer I gave to you
It was not enough, I'm not enough.
chorus:
I'm tired of you, tired of this circle
We never fully let each other go
You abuse me, hurt me, break me,
And there's nothing I can do.
I was niave, thinking we could have a second chance
We'd both changed so much
Now I just want to leave this drama
But I'm scared of not having you in my life
I want to make you jealous
To make you feel the way I did
I dont want to
chorus:
I'm tired of people telling me what I should do, who I should be
They always try to fix me, saying who I am is wrong
That my potential is wasted on the things I do
But I'm not broken yet, they haven't brought me down
My life's on a deadline now.
I scream to see if you can hear me
But you just look the other way
I ask if you can accept me, but you just push me out the door
I walk down the road, wondering if you're right
But I can't find it in myself to let you change me tonight
Everyone's dressed in their funeral clothes,
their own beliefs have died
I sit on the outside, looking in, but I wont join them, never again
That
chorus:
Hologram - you can see through me
An illusion, not a reality
Hologram - you don't believe in me
Layed here bare for you to see
I sacrificed my dreams at your alter
I wanted you to believe in them
Instead you laughed and held me back
My life, you wanted dim
But no, not now, I won't throw them away
I am myself and they're a part of me
This is my time, my world, my life
And I'll be all that I want to be.
chorus
Naked in my sincerity, forgotten by the dieties
Don't need no help, fine on my own
I'll live my life the way I want
You try to make me into who you want me to be
But I"m not that person, I won't pretend
I am my

Verse 1
Opening the doors to my soul
Sleeping in the dark in the cold
With no place to run nowhere to go
Until you call me back home
Take my hand and help me understand
Why I feel like I'm frozen inside
Changing with the different seasons
But nobody ever gave me a reason
As to why I feel like a thorn in my side
My smile is a cover when I feel like nothing
Choking on the air I breathe
I wish someone would breathe into me
And bring me back to life
Chorus
Looking into tears that make me feel small
But that only reminds me of the
Autumn leaves that start to fall
Listening to the fears resurfacing
It's hard to find the ho
So my life walked out on me,
And the dark swarmed like a cloud of mosquitos to irritate my eyes.
And when I finally broke my high, and got my feet back on the ground
The sky rained forth acid
And I blinked, hallucinating
Pink elephants, psychadelic kaleidoscopes
My world was a holographic anagram
Bouncing off the walls, a frozen spring,
I pulled the cover off of my head, untangled the sheets from my limbs,
Walked out in to the kitchen,
And the scum from my dreams dripped away to normalcy.
When I crawled in to your lap on your chair,
While you typed up a test on paper,
Cursing at the world of watermelons, teetering on insanity in
The gauntlet has swung over on
through to the other side
breathing out the life I thought was
Salvageable
but I guess I was
wrong.
I wonder if you feel sick to the stomach like I do
but then again
I doubt you feel at all.
I wonder if my heart snapped so
loudly that you heard it
but then again
I doubt you hear a word I say.
I have been listening to sad songs on the radio,
It seems to know that this is over
And taunts my heart with Dolly Parton,
Singing that I

The Power of Observation
The Power of Observation
Philosophers once thought
(How irrational it seems!)
That men drew up light from eyes
By outpouring radiant beams,
Mapping worldly structure in radars
Shifted visible--laughable,
Almost suggesting such thinkers
Had never seen night, a darkened room.
Thus, sight remains passive, in one sense,
Yet, here hangs the crux--
What occurs with occulation?
Computations flourish, for universes,
Their substrate brains are much
To complex to shunt away
Over millennia with randomness:
No, here witness intention,
Purpose, perhaps, at least
Illusions given mind to mind.
With mine, like Milton, I imagine the world

Show me a war, and I will show you the religious beliefs that caused it.
Show me death, and I will show you someone who still preys.
Show me hunger, and I will show you a priest.
Show me tragedy, and I will show you church.
Show me destruction, and I will show you someone who cries for god.
Show me faith, and I can show you nothing.
Hey guys!
It's been a while since I've been active on here, or active in an artistic way at all, but I have started writing again and I think it's time I started enjoying everyone else's work again as well! so if anyone has a favorite piece or two that they've done/wrote in the past year, please tell me and I'll be sure to check it out.
My life's been pretty busy lately. Started uni last year, which I absolutely love. My major seems to kill my free time though. (What was I thinking choosing computer engineering?! really!?!) Other than that, everything seems to be going really well. Nothing I'm going to complain about at the moment anywa
