Natural

Silent I have been
For far too long
I have not spoken the right words
Or clearly sang the song

Now is the time
That I begin again
If only to let out
All that is within

Does a bird not sing
for fear of being judged
A lioness not hunt
For fear of losing touch with her cubs

All this before me
Finally to find my cause
All these trials
To finally embrace my flaws

All that is within us
Painful glorious and true
Its only natural
What we all go through

One

See me this time
I move to be more than I am
A single one of the many
With one simple demand

Long have I stood
Strong and alone
Longer I will stand
Even on my own

Solace as one can be
Yet still remain full
How strong can that one be
One person, one fool

It remains to seen
How far one can go
It remains to be seen
The depth of one soul

Essence

Pure in complexity
Familiar though new
Breath of new life
Essence in view

Many times we look into truth
Once more before this vision is through
Question pure magic see it burn out
Question yourself reason with doubt.

Only one answer
Solid and true
Every experience
Is contained within you

There are times we see our own view
Though our essence is not ours to choose
Question this world everytime that you can
Question yourself never again

Sure of compassion
With fire I pursue
Infinite in capacity
The truth we thought we knew

Inspiration

Hello my friends.
I have returned.
The thoughts I own,
I have now earned.
A little ember burning bright.
A flash of light, the thought ignites
All who see, and all who do.
What you believe, and what you choose.
And now that you know I’m here.
It is time that I disappear.

Honor

Rally once more, war torn soldier
Your sights have not seen their last
More evil to calm, more blood to pay
For the sanctuary of man does not last

Rally your cry, war torn soldier
Your voice is not yet in the past
It takes the brave for demons are to be slayed
This great cost to shelter the mass

Rally once more, war torn soldier
Bring the light in darkness so vast
Step into the next, paid for with death
Your slumber is earned at last

Rathermore

I’d rather love than hate
Both are powerful
Each carries weight

I’d rather live than die
Both are painful
Each consume time

I’d rather fail than not try
Both take a part of you
Each change your life

I’d rather think than know
Both are dangerous
Each must decide for their own

Those

Those who work are working
Those who won’t are lurking
Those who live are living
Those who die are dying

Those who fear are fearing
Those whom spin are spinning
Those who lie are lying
Those who aren’t are not buying

Those who want are trying
Those who won’t are crying 
Those who believe you can’t
Those who achieve in spite of the rant

Those who live are living
To give to those who need giving
Those whom decided they are dying
Have already given up even trying

Wealth

I will move on before you
Don’t shed a single tear
I’ve always known
I would see these things before
Would move to hold and indear

I never really wanted to
Had wished to just play dumb
Had wished to ignore the truth
That I will see the next
Before it comes

I’ve always known
That there was more than here
That I was meant to be somewhere else
Never really wanted to
Accept the cost of all this wealth

That’s why I always played along
Quick to joke and laugh
Fast to speak and much to do
I always knew
This couldn’t last
