Serenity

I see a vision of beauty; of majesty
Someone with a personality
So similar, familiar to me
Better than a dream
I feel in my heart
A warmth I've never quite
Felt before
Time will tell if this is right
If this is where I'm meant to be
She denies, puts up a fight
And her disguise
Finding it so hard to believe
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Mysterious, so dangerous for me
Forced reality
I feel in my heart
A fear I've never quite
Felt before
Time will tell if this is right
If this is where I'm meant to be
In her arms I fall tonight
A heavy hug of serenity, serenity
"As he held her in his arms
The young man came to a realization
The spark that warmed his heart
Was a feeling he had never truly known
It was love
An emotion he only dreamed of finding
Suddenly became a reality
And for the first time in a very long time
He felt happiness fill the void inside
He felt at home"
I feel in my heart
A love that I've never quite
Felt before
Time will tell if this is right
If this is where we're meant to be
'Cause our two hearts
They beat as one
The passion and the purity
Now don't forsake your love
I know you're thinking of serenity, serenity

Let This Love Begin
03:51

I realize that I'm a loner
My song and dance a tragedy
But I can't find a way
To give my life some order
In a world without a guarantee
Painfully out of reach
I recognize that you're in trouble
No trouble, I will be just fine
And I can see you're on your own
And on my own is how it stays
But you don't need to carry
All that weight and struggle
All that weight is mine to carry on
I can tell you now you're not alone
Just can't believe that I found
Sympathy, empathy
Harmony, destiny
I say hey, let the pain go from within
I can't seem to let it out
Hey, it's okay to let me in
Holding on to every doubt
You are who you are
Not a part of me
You have tried so hard
You can't set me free
(You are who you are)
We are who we are
(You are who you are)
You're a part of me
(We are who we are)
We have come so far
(We are who we are)
Hear when I say
Hey, let the pain go from within
I will put my trust in him
Hey, it's okay to let me in
I can let this love
Begin, begin, begin, begin, begin

The sight, first light
Assures, excites
The scent, I'm spent
Allure augments
And the taste, love and grace
Never waste the time
A moment
The sound, no bounds
That laugh surrounds
The touch, too much
I have my crutch
And the taste, love and grace
Never waste the time
A moment with you, you
And the taste, love and grace
Made to waste, I disgrace
Covering, wavering
Severing the ties
The moments with you, for you

Break Away
07:22
|
|||
Am I searching for light
Or is it the dark?
What I hold inside
Is what I search for
Is it my own design
Or could it be forged
From all that I've known
In this shallow life?
Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away
There is nowhere to hide
I can't run from myself
Each time that I try
I wish I'm someone else
This demon I've denied
But I've always felt
Can't help but divide
And lead to my demise
Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away
Build your defense
And I'll tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Help yourself, break away
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to kill the spark
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to claim the dark
I don't want to break your heart
Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away
Build your defense
And I'll tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Help yourself, break away
Good intentions
Seem like evil deeds
But in reality
Keep you safe, break away
(Break away, take away
Stay away, break away)
"Strangled by his past
He felt an emptiness growing inside
The void he once owned returned
A darkness that consumed his heart
A demon born of doubt and sorrow
Fearing the darkness within him
He knew he could no longer be with his love
For this torment would drag her down as well
Even knowing that she would be alone
That she would be left to struggle once again
His only choice was to break away
On that cold winter night
She lied crying on her bed
For he had severed the ties that bonded them
He left the room, closing the door behind him
Thinking that he would save her
Only to betray her trust
Only hurting her more
Parting ways
Their broken hearts were bound in chains
Under lock and key
And as time passed
Their wounds began to heal
Only to be reopened
When their paths would cross again"

Disenchanted
05:24
|

Off today, home in the rain
Cloud the brain into the grey
Thinking of days gone by
Reflect on the times that pass
Disenchanted by the end, the end
On today, in disarray
Soul decay into the grey
Loathing self, mental tombs
Binding wounds
Reflect on the times that pass
Disenchanted by the way I act
Disconnected from the world, world
Haunted by memories
Days and nights, feeling you
Reflect on the times that pass
Disenchanted by the way I act
Disconnected from the path ahead
Don't know where to go from here, from here

The Great Divide
04:43
|

Here you sit right next to me
Hard to believe
We've come so far away
From the debris, from the release
Every scar
Memories bring back to life
All the good times
We laid to rest in peace
All the good times in both our lives
All our best tries
I called out your name
Knowing that I scream in vain
Feelings remain
I see the fire burning in your eyes
Within your heart tonight
Golden embers flying through the sky
Like shooting stars
A light so bright
Seeing it glow, helping it grow
Watch it unfold inside
How could you know?
How could you go?
Gone so awry
It won't be okay
We're alike but not the same
Feelings aflame
I see the fire burning in your eyes
Within your heart tonight
Golden embers flying through the sky
Like shooting stars alight
Shy spirit yearning to take flight
Now let your spark ignite
Passion slowly guiding you and I
Across the great divide
Let's try again
Know that we can't
We can't be friends
Can't we be friends?
Let's not pretend
Let's make amends
It's not the end
I'll give you my hand
It will be okay
Look ahead to better days
And we are the same
Though two paths lead us astray
We will remain
I see the fire burning in your eyes
Within your heart tonight
Golden embers flying through the sky
Like shooting stars alight
Shy spirit yearning to take flight
Now let your spark ignite
Passion slowly guiding you and I
Across the great divide

Farther Than The Sun
05:09
|

You, a victim of the world
Abandoned by the ones
You call a family
And you, the shadow of a girl
A soul led under the gun
And left in times of need
I'd give it all to you
How can I prove it's true?
You deserve a better life
A life that I have seen
A life you can receive
And here, today I'll make a pledge
To give you anything
All you've ever dreamed
I'll bring you up into the stars
I'll take you high, I'll take you far
'Cause you know you are everything
I'll be the ground beneath your feet
Until the end, I'll be your means
'Cause you know you're everything to me
I owe it all to you
Now it's time to prove it
You know I'll go
Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun
I said you know I'll do
More than anyone
More than anyone
I said you know I'll go
Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun
I said you know I'll do
More than anyone
"The divide crossed, the spark reignited
Their memories of passion and love
Overwhelmed his mind
They brought another side of him to life
Something unwilling to let go
Something naive; an inner child
With new determination
He made a solemn vow
To right his wrongs and be the one she deserved
To devote himself to her completely
To make all of her dreams come true
And to share love’s embrace forevermore"
You know I'll go
Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun
I said you know I'll do
More than anyone, oh yeah
Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

Moving Forward
03:57
|

Here you are
Driving me against the wall
Summoning
All the strength I harbor
Standing firm
I will not be made a fool
Come to terms
Never should we be so cruel
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you, dear
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you here
I won't bend
Time has come and passed for that
Make amends
Ever eager just to
Reenact
All the pains left in the past
And the fact
That you have the nerve to ask
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you, dear
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you here
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you, dear
I'm moving forward
I'm moving on without you
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
Without you here
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
Without you here
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
I'm moving on, I'm moving on
Without you

"Hollow and alone
He sat in turmoil
Unable to accept the truth
That the one he loved
Carried on without him
His naive imagination ran wild
Reading into false signs
These symbols made him believe
That this love was meant to be
But he would come to realize
That his fate was to walk a different path
That the joy he once experienced
Was but a memory of the past"
Gone for so long
Contemplating what is right
And what is wrong
Feelings strong
Caught debating every night
What to do now
Where and how
Can I act upon
My pure and sacred vow?
Won't allow
This attraction shaping
To escape me
Could it be that in my confidence
I display some sort of arrogance?
Sore at the core
Finding meaning
In these subtle metaphors
Open doors
Patterns speaking
Forming up from nothing
Could it be so insignificant?
All these feelings I thought permanent?
If only, if only
Facing truth and heavy consequence
Honest action, faulty circumstance
Come to question right and relevance
Am I gifted by your radiance?
If only, if only, if only, if only
If only, if only, if only, if only

Resolve
07:06

Fearing the kiss of acceptance
Bleeding, my heart bends and breaks
Blame it on my own persistence
Fail to give more than I take
I took a step out of the silence
Only another mistake
Faking a grasp on resilience
Clearly, I shiver and shake
Well, I know, I know
This hurt I can't control
I know, I know
That I must let it go
Can I let it go?
I'll let it go, I'm letting go
Eyes watching out from a distance
Closing the woes at the gate
I hope you find peace in my absence
Mine will come if I can wait
Yeah, I know, I know
That I can move along
Yeah, I'll move along, I'll find a home
Where I belong, I will atone
I'll move along
All that constantly threatens me
Is dissolved
Gain clarity to believe
In my resolve
Solve the mystery
Turn the key to evolve
Live full and free
Finally, in my
Ceasing to heal
The child, crying as he dies
To no avail
He sings his last song
Daring to seal
The demon eating me alive
He I will fight, I’ll fight for my life
And I will arise, yeah, I will survive
All that constantly threatens me
Is dissolved
Gain clarity to believe
In my resolve
Solve the mystery
Turn the key to evolve
Live full and free
Finally, in my resolve, my resolve, yeah
My resolve, my resolve, yeah
"With a strong resolve,
The young man set out to heal his wounds
To cast aside the inner child
To make peace with the demon
And to unlock his heart
For he knew that one day
He would find a new home
And in the end,
He made amends with his past love
Choosing to move forward but never forget
Storing his memories in song
Thus ends this story of love and loss"
