Within the Warmth of Your...

As the first snow falls and everything is blanketed in white
Time becomes as a standstill and I long to be within the
warmth of your arms

As the wind blows strong and winter becomes apparent
Time becomes a standstill and I long to be within the
warmth of your embrace

As the temperature drops and the streets ice over
Time becomes a standstill and I long to be within the
warmth of your touch

As the season changes to cold and I await the tenderness of you
Time becomes a standstill and I long to be within the
warmth of your presence

Circumstances keep 'em apart
Stirring feelings from the heart

Binded through an eternal soul
Bleeds grief beyond control

Tortured mind bewilders all
Wondered expressions make the call

Magnetic being draws them in
It's up to fate to let it begin

Soaring through life's big journey
Corrupted with pain and agony

Seeking truth beyond the surface
Unruly acts that are quite selfless

Quiet longing from a distance
Bringing hopeful twists in reminiscence

Images flooding a budding core
Fearing things that are in store

Burning desires locked away
Knowing not to this day

Wanting to know if there is a chance
Afraid to look within this glance

Surges of insight within the mind
Powerful emotions make 'em blind

Intellectual stimulation entrances the spirit
Unwilling to live without it

Pursuit of knowledge for stability
Follows them throughout infinity

Matches made with strength and grace
Something loneliness just can't replace

Wouldn't Be Bought

Pain and sorrow in her mind
Nothing's ever very kind
Misery overtook her soul
Now she dwells in a deep hole
Wanting to break through the walls
As she walks down the halls
Can't even hold her fear
She's afraid that they'll hear
Troubles left and right
She'll stand up and fight
Looking for a friend
Will the shouting ever end
Her feelings locked up inside
They can no longer hide
Crying inside day and night
She isn't a pretty sight
Violence is the only way
For those people to pay
Yet, her heart knows the pain
And people think she's insane
Thinking of things they once said
Terrible memories stay in her head
Afraid of what people thought
Her soul wouldn't be bought

*1994/1995*

No Matter What

No matter what
I say or I do do
I'll always care
Deeply for you
I had a feeling that I kept
Locked up inside of me
I should have said something
But, I was too afraid
Then it was too late

I'd look at you for hours
Thinking we'd be together forever
I was naive for thinking
That I had this chance
No matter what I'd do
You wouldn't notice
When I saw you with another
I wanted to cry
But, I couldn't

Deep down inside I knew
You wouldn't feel the same as I
You'll stay in my mind
For a long long time

No matter what
I say or I do
I'll always care
Deeply for you
No matter what

*1993/1994*
