I used to be self assured
I used to know what I wanted to be
Now Its just a dark room..
And Im alone


For a while..


But now.. now its another world..
Its anew place.. a new human race..
A new dream.. another time


But its the same.. or is it?
I forget the past.. for what it was
The past.

Now its a bright future..
But freedom still eludes
I wonder about tomorrow
But deal with today's sorrow.

I drink once a night, once a month..
Maybe feel alright, have a little fun..
Just to remind me of the past..
And to the things that couldnt last..


I send a letter to your memory
Maybe once a night, once a month..
Since maybe youre the only thing dear to me
And Im still just looking to have a little fun.


This language barrier that drains me mentally
And I awaken a newbound angelic fantasy..
Maybe shes the one.. and you arent..
Maybe Im wrongand maybe Im not.



So we awaken in different states..
Appointments, apartments and new plates
New names, places and times..
And just forgotten crimes..


So I wish you well
You dwellers in hell
You saviors and saints
with tools of words and paints


Spreading the scripture of love and loss
The amount, the pain, the undeniable cost
I wish you peace, in the middle east..
Upon my soul, Ill let you feast..


Rampage gone wild, late night TV
Wrapped up in rainbow six by tom Clancy
Bombs over Baghdad, the children sleep safe tonight
Terror in the white house, and everythingsnot alright.
