The Emperor

What are you doing here you have no clue
Is this a gigantic game to you
Empathy bypass and still
All these adoring fools
Will cheer as you rave and drool
The king of the wasteland you’re born to rule
Bodies all round and you stride so proud
Never once wrong you tell me so loud
Braying above the herd
You’re crashing through sanity undeterred
The emperor of truth with the final word
I found a life shining like a stone
Blossom fell true as I raced for home
Like movies of the end
Of everything there is a sacred friend
No special treatment for passers-by
Bye bye

Spark

The ashes all around us
The water will have drowned us
No one will have found us
The cities are a scene now
Nothing left to mean now
All there is has been now
And my eyes on the light in the dark
Clinging on to the hope and the spark
This belief that I made the right mark
That was once now it’s over for good
It transformed me far more than it should
Now I’m losing the ground where I stood
Darker than the dawning
Furthest from the morning
Everything’s a warning
I found you in the sunlight
The fire was in you all night
Now you seem a lost cause
Giving up the fight
And my eyes on the light in the dark
Clinging on to the hope and the spark
This belief that I made the right mark
That was once now it’s over for good
It transformed me far more than it should
Now I’m losing the ground where I stood

Threads

Hard roads here, chewed up so easy
Turmoil the norm it seems and
Fine threads of life in the living
Frayed long beyond the giving
I am thinking of you now
I’m thinking of you now
Whatever you’re thinking
I am thinking of you now
I’m thinking of you now
Whatever you think of me now
Sand days and silvery evenings
I spent them disbelieving
Secrets you think you are solving
I watch your mind dissolving
Tall tales and fantasy names
I traded life like a game
Castles built here in the home
Holidays burnt to the bone
Sand days and silvery evenings
I spent them disbelieving
Fine threads of life in the living
Frayed long beyond the giving

The Stranger
04:11
|

I hid away for a while and the good it did me
And I deleted myself from my own life story
I was a stranger to anyone anyway
I am a stranger to anyone to this day
Sink in the doom through the floor to the room
Where they do it to everyone else
And I’m guilty to see what is waiting for me
If I’d taken the poison myself
There’s a release in the puzzle you solve that tells you
There isn’t anything else that you could have done
Fall through the cloud as you walk through the crowd
You’re a ghost from the day you were born
Zero it all never write never call
And the darkness in you never mourn
I’m a stranger to you as you are to me
I’m a stranger to you as you are to me
I am stranger to you as you are to me
And this is as close to each other as we will be
I was a mind in a box at a point in time
I was an energy moving from line to line
Fall through the cloud as you walk through the crowd
You’re a ghost from the day you were born
Zero it all never write never call
And the darkness in you never mourn
I’m a stranger to you as you are to me
I’m a stranger to you as you are to me
