The Lesson
Another day
Another year
You’re sick and tired
Of waiting here
Your friends have left
Your love has gone
The road ahead
Seems dark and long
And I will say to you
Your time will come
You live and you learn
You shine then you burn
And the ashes will bring something new
Down again
Another fall
Before too long
Another wall
A needed risk
A heavy cost
You still have gained
More than you’ve lost
And I will say to you
Your time will come
You live and you learn
You shine then you burn
And the ashes will bring something new
Close your eyes
And when you dream
Fly away
To worlds unseen
And walk the path where stars align
Where I can say to you
Your time has come
You lived and you learned
You shined then you burned
And the ashes have brought something new
And the ashes have brought something new

When I Open My Eyes

When I Open My Eyes
Sometimes I drive my car
Straight into the clouds
Tonight I’ll find you glowing by the light
Dancing in the water
A goddess of life
Of the good and the bad
I need this so much
It’s my way to you
When I open my eyes
I see everything I always wanted
When I open my eyes
I see you
Roads don’t care whether or not
We choose to drive upon them
Will stars shine if
We choose not to name them all
But just the ones we wish on
And even if
We wipe the memory
Guess what, love
Our hearts still hurt
When I open my eyes
I see everything I always wanted
When I open my eyes
I see you
I still
Need just a little bit of this pain
It’s my only way through
When I open my eyes
I see everything I always wanted
When I open my eyes
I see you

Fading Storm
A model king worked on his son
Made of drifting wood
A smile he painted on
Lady of the sea be strong
It’s only a matter of time
Between the sheets and lies
We don’t live forever
It’s how we use our time
As long as I use mine with you
And if you lose your way
Come and stay with me
Let your fear die in my arms
Your fading storm
Of all the poetry and war
The tiled floor denies
The love that keeps us warm
A manic man his clear blue sky
It’s all illusion babe
Don’t ask why
We don’t live forever
It’s how we use our time
As long as I use mine with you
And if you lose your way
Come and stay with me
Let your fear die in my arms
Your fading storm
Your fading storm
We won’t live forever
It’s how we use our time
As long as I use mine with you
And if you lose your way
Come and dance with me
Let your fear die in my arms
Your fading storm
Your fading storm

Hold on to Me

Hold on To Me
We should have seen this coming
Nobody could
We thought that we had problems
We didn't have a clue
The suffering of yesterday
Today, feels like a dream
The walls comes down
The floor gives out
And we are falling
Spinning in circles
Unknown direction
Hold on
Hold on to me
Concrete below us
Just look in the eyes
And hold on
Hold on to me
I just don’t know what else to say
Nobody would
We keep trying to find a way out
When there isn’t one
Sometimes there’s no solution
There’s only adaptation
We won’t find resolution
No matter what we do
Spinning in circles
Unknown direction
Hold on
Hold on to me
Concrete below us
Just look in the eyes
And hold on,
Hold on to me
Moving so fast
No time to process
I love you
I love you
I love you
Spinning in circles
Unknown direction
Hold on, Hold on to me
Concrete below us
Just look in my eyes
And hold on
Hold on to me

Static
Another night awake
Bothered by my bitter thoughts
‘Cause every time I talk to you
You list my failures and my faults
What did I do so wrong
To be denied of your love
Why can’t I be myself
Not the one you’re dreaming of
So tell me
What you proving
Is your need to be right
Really worth all the tears that you’ve caused
Tell me
what are you doing
Is your need for a fight really worth
All the years that we’ve lost
Another nightmare’s wake
You come and hold me in your arms
You’d rock me back to sleep
And I’d feel safe from any harm.
Where’s my protector now
An enemy instead
The one who’d be right by me
In my life, that’s what you said
So tell me
what you proving
Is your need to be right
Really worth all the tears that you’ve caused
Tell me
what you doing
Is your need for a fight really worth
All the years that we’ve lost

Soñando en Rojo

Soñando en Rojo
En un lugar
Muy lejos de aquí
A un hombre yo conocí
No sé su nombre
No me lo dio
Un mensaje me trajo
Viene el momento. No escaparás
Tenía miedo
Lo puedo admitir
Respire a verlo
salir
Pasaba las noches
Soñando con él
Sus ojos oscuros
Su pálido piel
Viene el momento
No escaparás
Viene el momento
No escaparás
Llega el momento.
No escaparás
No te reformaste
Y morirás

Tuxedo
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone
But I know you’re here
And I hold you close to me
As you whisper through the darkness that
Nothing dies when love remains
The moonlight shines
Through the blinds
Half asleep I reach for you
There’s nothing but the sheet
That familiar pain runs through me
A panic years have not erased
The nightmare’s just begun
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone
But I know you’re here
And I hold you close to me
As you whisper through the darkness that
Nothing dies when love remains
So many nights I yearned for more
Complained that things were always going wrong.
My life’s biggest dream was
By my side
I could be so sad and selfish
Blinded by life’s false illusions
Now all I want is you
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone
But I know you’re here
And I hold you close to me
As you whisper through the darkness that
Nothing dies when love remains
Your love remains
I can’t handle
These broken images of you now
They say you’re gone
But I know you’re here
And I hold you close to me
As you whisper through the darkness that
Nothing dies when love remains
Your love remains
Your love remains
I know you’re here

Now

Now
Red embers
Where trees once stood
For the things we say
Blue oceans
Turned to seas of black and brown
Where we drink and bathe
Do we want this
Do we need this
Let’s take what we can
And leave this place behind
They can’t take it
If we break it
Let’s save who we can
And leave this place tonight
Green is the grass
Where they walk
On the other slide
White is the rose
That blooms inside the hearts
Of men who are aligned
Do we want this
Do we need this
Let’s take what we can
And leave this place behind
They can’t take it
If we break it
Let’s save who we can
And leave this place tonight
It’s midnight
Now is the time
Swallow your fear
And step out of line
What is it worth to solely survive
Your love
your dreams
your soul
and your mind
Do we want this
Do we need this
Let’s take what we can
And leave this place behind
They can’t take it
If we break it
Let’s save who we can
And leave this place tonight
What will you decide

What Could Be

What Could Be
Come and take my hand
Come and take my hand
Early morning
Everyone is still asleep
My heart’s heavy
But my eyes, too dry to weep
I lay wondering
Ah
Do you still think of me
Ah
And wish for what could be
Early evening
All the stars come out to play
Breathing heavy
Spirits beaten by the day
I lay wondering
Ah
Do you still think of me
Ah
And wish for what could be
I must let go
Thinking I don’t have a choice
Then I hear footsteps
And a strong, familiar voice
You are wondering
Ah
Do you still think of me
Ah
And wish for what could be

Writing on the Wall

Writing on the Wall
Pouring rain
Flooding memories
Choices made
Missing pieces
Time
Thought I had it
Tonight
It seems lost
Cause I never saw the writing on the wall
And I never listened to the warnings call
You can’t put your heart in someone else’s hands
You’re the one who has to hold it
For yourself
Blowing snow
Frozen feelings
Wanting more
I must be leaving
Time
Thought I had it
Tonight
It seems lost
Cause I never saw the writing on the wall
And I never listened to the warnings call
You can’t put your heart in someone else’s hands
You’re the one who has to hold it
For yourself
Inside my mind
I can see
All of the things
That I was meant to be
Cause I never saw the writing on the wall
And I never listened to the warnings call
You can’t put your heart in someone else’s hands
You’re the one who has to hold it
For yourself
