4. Written in Water
1. Conflict with Reason
The coldness of stagnation
The blinding light of fear
Time blurs the space of moment and takes away,
it takes away
There's nothing more to strive for
and nothing more to take
The time for progress passed by long ago
and here we are, in this hole
Undying faith in your eyes
The sting of your concern
A burden is the last thing I will be,
and you will see
You will fall into the ocean with me
You will see all the darkness I see
Hand in hand we'll fall away
from the hope that binds us
Take flight from my conflict with reason
For some the path is endless
while others lose their way
When one outgrows the other
is it fair to let them stay
I push away, it's the right thing to do
I push away, but I need you
2. Resolution
Never to sleep when beyond serenity
Never to dream of security
One cry of self defense echoes across a lifetime
Ignore, reject and condescend
Degrade, abuse and dominate
Never move aside or tolerate
I think I understand
Compassion and apologies
misconstrued as insecurity
If one must fall it won't be me
Screams beyond smiles, a front of composure
Discolored mind, a painful past
I see the reason
but i'm beyond caring
Next time I will not move aside
I've walked behind you for too long
The search for equal ground is folly
I think I understand
Compassion and apologies
misconstrued as insecurity
If one must fall it won't be me
There's a hole,
there's an empty room in my soul
and I looked to you
for a sign of what I should be
Rode the waves of co-dependency
Now I see what I have to do
Cleanse myself or be just like you
Resolution
Resolution
3. Dwelling
Shadows in the doorway Room is growing cold
Something coming, something angry and in pain
---Close your eyes
What you go through I can never comprehend
I can only pray that someday it will end
All of us potential victims in some way
hiding deep within to face another day
--leave behind an empty shell
(Innocence gives way to darkness)
Sand between your toes, whispers on the waves
False tranquility, but on the wind you hear
---distant screams
What you go through I can never comprehend
I can only pray that someday it will end
All of us potential victims in some way
hiding deep within to face another day
Will it turn around someday?
(Innocence gives way to darkness)
In your dwelling you can shed your guilt and shame
as you darken doorways, smell the ocean air
---close your eyes
What you go through I can never comprehend
I can only pray that someday it will end
All of us potential victims in some way
hiding deep within to face another day
---and another tragedy unfolds
4. Written in Water
So here I am again A few more years behind me now
It's been so long I don't know where to start
Confessions over time, ripped out from my very soul
but you were never touched in any way
Did you really care about some point I tried to make
I realize, I understand you've heard it all before
....but I still feel a need to scream
So much wasted time, it hardly matters any more,
if I gain acceptance in your eyes
But still I need to know, can we walk on common ground
So once again, I cut myself, and bleed a little more
...and I'm still reaching out to you
(4x) Here lies one--whose name was written in water
I just want to make an impression
Some kind of footprint on mind and soul
To give everything for a memory
is foolish I know, but here I am again
Here I am again.
