Lights floating in the sky,
What will I be blamed for next?
Aiding this conversation
That's looking good for a second,
Then falls apart for hours,
But we're still good,
Take this microphone
And do what you got to do,
I'll hold on to you,
While you sing our song.
I don't want to know what happened,
I don't want to hear about the past,
Nothing else matters,
I just want to be by your side.
To the towers,
So we can be on top of the world,
Close your eyes now,
Let me put this rose under your nose,
Settle down now,
Let's see the sunrise and shine,
Remember everything that cheers you up,
Time to hold you now.
I don't want to know what happened,
I don't want to hear about the past,
Nothing else matters,
I just want to be by your side.

Up In The Sky
I've shown the world
How many times I can fall asleep,
Drift away from defeat
And put away what she meant to me,
Look out, I know where I'm going,
Straight up, never going down,
And I see it all,
I see it clearly written down for me,
The stars shining brightly,
The fireworks taking place behind me,
Shooting from my hands,
Which are gestured to the sky in victory.
I'll hold onto what I got
For as long as I can,
Old pictures remain in my mind,
Eyes locked onto her as I climb the mountains,
Wishing well, sparkling eyes,
I am falling asleep again
With a smile on my face,
I won't paint pictures for you,
But I will show you the way
To be enlightened.

Slowly
Feeling so small in this room,
Losing your heart in what you do,
Killing time because you're hurt,
Mourning in the morning
That's all you do,
Waiting till day turns to night,
Staying the same, hating to move,
Afraid to see past your fears,
You will do anything not to be alone,
When everyone is enjoying life
You will stay home and ponder more,
Fragile sense, fragile being,
Closer and closer, but further and further,
Turning around hoping for change,
But when you hope for something
Nothing changes,
When you hope for happiness
All you get is hate.
Feeling so small among your friends,
Losing yourself in your meds,
Prolonging time staring at the mirror,
Contemplating every decision,
You think so low of yourself,
The will to do, the will to persevere,
But you cling on hope
Like you cling on hate,
Everyone wants to help,
But you're hating yourself
You're stuck in a mess,
Feeling so small when you're down.
Everything's alright,
Things will get better,
The water in your eyes,
But he's holding on to you
Letting you know everything will be fine,
Chin up, stand straight,
The look of defeat
That was moments ago,
Holding your hand until you feel better,
Be who you are,
Don't let others push you around,
Don't get down on yourself
You are better than that,
It's alright to be afraid,
It's alright to feel lost,
But don't feel like you're nothing.

Far, But Close Enough
Coming in close,
Leaving here wounded. [x2]
The heat's burning me slowly,
The effort's lacking as always,
Putting pressure where there's none needed,
Drowning in my own disasters,
Everything shall come crashing,
But this flower in my hand grows strong.
Coming in close,
Leaving here wounded.[x2]
Always trying to do too much,
Pleasing others ain't so bad,
Spinning and spinning, my own carousel,
I care too much; my blatant errors,
Strike me now, I'm striking out,
You see me now, I must be doing something right.
Coming in close,
Leaving here wounded. [x2]
Carrying it all on my shoulders,
Piecing together what's been broken,
Opened eyes, I will never breakdown,
Never surrender, never backdown,
If you haven't been wounded,
Then you're not trying.
Coming in close,
Leaving here wounded.
Nothing makes sense now,
Give it some time
And everything will clear up,
Nothing good comes out of rushing,
Thinking about what went wrong,
Thinking about everything else.
Coming in close.
Leaving here wounded. [x2]

Look At The World (And Wave Goodbye)
Through the thin wire,
Be the sheep, obey the liar,
Casual morning, feel this breeze,
In the clouds, heat increase,
Lonely man in a broken shelter,
I feel the passion as I felt her,
Brisk and bitter taste,
This land of hope turns to waste,
Caught, tasered, left to die,
Just look at this world and wave goodbye.
Plants rot, leaves drop,
Stage burned, gasoline on the crop,
Living disaster, life up in flame,
No one changes, they stay the same,
Cash for power, power for cash,
Fuck 'em all with this non-stop bash,
Building domes for city clones,
Criminals In Action aim for their bones,
Unleash it all, unleash before we die,
Then look at the world and wave goodbye.
Civil wars penetrating this system,
The bombs you've thrown, you've missed them,
Catchy tunes and media lies,
Paint a picture, fists, now rise,
Begger beggin' been burned alive,
Protecting the people, we must survive,
Claim to fame now claiming lives,
Rupture, vain, and ended by the knife,
Enough abuse, make things right before you die,
Then look at the world and wave goodbye.

Breakdown II
Capital frustration,
This disease destroying this nation,
Look back, profit from the dead,
Rest in peace but instead
Exposing their life,
Put under the government knife,
Modern citizens obeying the laws,
Witness these defects, their flaws,
You're smacked in the middle of it,
Time to restart, flicker, flame now lit!
Cause and effect,
Centuries, centuries,
Breakdown, Breakdown!
No health care,
Stoned, confused, hungry, nothing to share,
Money burning, greed lives on,
Forever, here comes the red dawn,
Shackled, the innocents strangled,
Tainted minds, breakdown, peasants mangled,
Flip this switch,
We don't want your wars you son of a bitch,
Ashes and stones,
This world built upon human bones.
Cause and effect,
Destruction, destruction,
Breakdown, Breakdown!

Sunshine, Cerulean Skies
Alright, it has been several months or so since I have been working on my side project called, Sunrise Above The Mountain (same name as one of my earlier songs, but not deriving from same meaning - about who, what, etc). That said, I think it is time I blog atleast one of the seven lyrics/poems I have written so far. Seven may not seem as much but I have chosen from an abundance of lyrics/poems I have written since the beginning of the side project. Keep in mind that not all seven lyrics/poems talk about the same romantic (I guess I can call it so) theme.
I don't normally do this, but I will give you a brief idea of what I aimed in writing this lyric/poem, Sunshine, Cerulean Skies. My aim was to create a liberated, smooth tone and a fresh feeling of finding yourself. More of escaping the common ideas of what others think our lives, or the world for that matter, should be. I believe the word paradise helps us express our own unique sense of where we go to relax and be who we are. Paradise can be anything from being alone (if that is the case with the individual) to being with someone somewhere. Now, I am not suggesting or hinting that I am speaking of someone specific in the lyric/poem. That is not the case. However, I am trying to push forward a general idea of this so-called paradise place. That said, I am working on a part-two of this very lyric/poem. I have yet to start it, but I do have plenty of ideas and a certain style to write it in. Back to the term paradise. What is it? Similar to numerous words it can mean a lot to someone and at the same time it can mean nothing to someone else. It all depends on how the individual interprets it and how he or she wants to dwell on imagination. I am not saying that a paradise place does not exist. On the contrary, our paradise exists in our hearts, through our eyes and out in the open. All we need to do is find it - just like love. We may not see it or feel it at the moment, but it's there. It's just a matter of time.
Sunshine, Cerulean Skies:
The rhythm tonight,
Swayed,
I'll sweep you off your feet,
Lay you down on the beach,
Watch the waves crash
Against our feet,
The images emerge,
The seashells at our toes,
Let the rhythm take you tonight.
These clouds disappear,
Those mountains reaching the sky,
No darkness, no nightmares,
This is where we go
To escape the troubled world.
Let this skin feel the soft white sand,
This is our paradise,
And I'll keep sweeping you
Off your feet,
We'll tease one another,
We'll drink wine together,
The sun shines in our face,
Feel the rhythm tonight,
On the sands of the beach,
Let the waves crash against your feet.
This is where we go
To escape the troubled world,
It's us tonight,
Sit and star at the skies
While holding hands,
This is our Paradise.
