Talking Sand

crying for more pain

it's the healing that truly hurts

fill my glass with the blood preacher man

and tell me how it will bring me truth and glory

the deepest cut is the slice of reality

we receive begging while begging to be forgiven

 

mark me for the destruction

in the oft spoken decimation

i will walk with my head high

i will never surrender again

 

talking sand is all we are

it's the shifting winds that break us

fill my head with truth teacher man

and tell me how your history decides my future

the deepest cut is the slice of reality

we receive learning their paranoid truths

 

mark me for the destruction

in the oft spoke decimation

i will walk with my head high

i will never surrender again 

She Touches

isolation comforts me in this landscape

a new color of dreams walks with me

in this wasteland of nocturnal birth

now

feeling

movement

in the center of ecstasy

 

(she can) touch me

she can (touch me)

 

on and on into one now here within me

the grip of exploration tightens around the virus of need

the darkness of invention supplies the demand

now

living

eternal

into the center of vanity

 

she can (touch me)

(she can) touch me

 

she touches (everything inside) the palace of excess

 

notes of the deepest blue wash over me

peering into the oceans of madness

exploring the strength of my will

now

intense

volcanic

 

she can (touch me)

(she can) touch me

 

life explodes from my soul

as the glow of my insanity burns

all mysteries unwoven and scattered about the universe

now

forever

touching

without ever being here

 

(she touches) everything inside the palace of excess

Tranquil

don't release that tear without me

keep it locked in the corner of your eye

nearer to the fear than your persistent youth would believe

i am within the walls of this purgatory you call your heart

moving in slow motion at the speed of your own nightmare

do you recall the pictures taken in the dawn of a whisper

the whisper of my oncoming shadow

 

photos of your tranquil waters

seal the fate of these dreams you pretend to live
 

don't release that tear without me

keep it just under the surface of the water

silently stalking your precious time

one day you will dive deep enough to find me

waiting for the communion of pain you secretly long to touch

the whisper is watching you and remembering a night we shared

photos of your tranquil waters

seal the fate of these dreams you pretend to live
