Why settle for less when there can be more? Why accept an ending and not ask for an encore? Let me seek comfort and an illusion of control, poison or a lie, to soothe my tormented soul. There is no heaven, no hell and no one will command their angels concerning you to guard you carefully. Childhood's magic it is gone and no single man can mend this wound no healer no seer There's another hole in my heart a window for the world to shine it's searing light inside and tear my soul apart There's another way to make this wound heal Come let me show you what beauty in the world I adore we can do wonders, but not based on ancient lore Let me find acceptance for the things I can't control Sometimes I must cry, to soothe my tormented soul Do we need heaven do we need spirits, fairies, sentient water should we not rather seek each other? Feel real love while we still can and learn to live with the pain.

Mont Pelerin 04:50
A vanguard of freedom gathering around the hill A pilgrimage of wise men weaving spells of liberty To the barricades on the road to serfdom Nobody is qualified to wield limitless power Where there is authority there can be no freedom there can be no freedom there can be no liberty Disciples trickled down like they were gold that they had made but that can never form a crown. Yet they forged mighty chains and sold them to the crowd. And they are the new - and the old - freedom. The supreme principle must not be sacrificed.

In the mist I dwell in shadows I revel In weariness I fell what can I call this place but hell? I am facing the decay but the final act I've yet to play. Will there only be dismay? And we shall savour every day... can we savour every day? We can be like they are

Branches 06:04
Withered leaves floating on the lake spring has just begun to roam the meadows. The branches they have left behind, hidden from the sun, contorted by the flight from the shadows. Walls and a roof, built for its protection Not to shield off the light, but everything has its price. The lake is an oasis in this dreary wasteland and on good days its shiny surface helps some beams bypass the roof. How mighty that tree could have grown elsewhere but cutting off the roots doesn't work without torment. Hold my hand while I cry about all the branches that I did not let grow, that I cut off never to allow them to bear any fruit never chosen never appointed to bear fruit I'm standing by a lake, watching my reflection, yellow leaves drift along, ripples blur my face. Memories emerge, tiny whirls from wind or current. Some try to pull me down, some are gone without a trace. If I let them grow, I know they might consume me. But when the undertow is strong, I don't always have that choice. No choice. If I could let go, they could never subdue me. But I don't always know a song to bleed them out into my voice. Always is not today, words and notes pour out of me. The lake overflows, washing the desert away.
