Here are the lyrics to my Album "Bury The Times".
Comments and discussion are welcome.

Shadows are Crawling

verse1
don't you, don't you tell them
that it is a wave of circumstances
they can't believe until
you take them there

open up reveal explore
the possible outcome of it all
to see what it was always meant
to be

CHORUS
shadows are crawling
into your mind
covering all things
shadows are crawling
spreading around you
got to break through

verse2
stop stop stop stop stop
don't turn 'em in
you've got to blow away, throw away
the face that's glowing with deceit
things are not what they seem to be
search beyond what you can see
scratch the surface to uncover what's below

Take Me Away

verse1
take me away from this place right now
i wanna go (i want to go)
take away all of these vein filled leaves
so i can go
fill me with a golden sunrise
let me breath under the sea
dig into my heart and remove
the stones that pull me down

CHORUS
i want to be...free
free from myself...free
take me away...free
ooo

verse2
wanting to be what i cannot be
who am i now? (who am i now?)
dreams that i should have never dreamed
where are they now?
clothe me in a robe of sunlight
cover me from all that hurts
dig into my heart and remove
the stones that pull me down

bridge
life is much better
when you're on the other side

Bury the Times

verse1
i want to be alone
don't come around here no more
i don't want to see your face
don't want to hear your voice no more

i want to be alone
i want to sleep forever
just to hear the warmth of silent thoughts
surround me as i surrender

CHORUS
bury the times and destroy all i know

verse2
i want to be alone
mysterious to you all
i'll stay hidden 'neath the rocks and trees
until i hear that call

i want to be alone
to follow the piercing cry
and while everything is falling 'round me
i'll be satisfied

Alone

verse1
i'm alone, i'm alone
alone in this world
by myself
what a life
what a lack of life
breathing and eating
just aren't enough
sleeping and singing
do not fulfill

verse2
i'm alone, i'm alone
alone in this world
by myself
how sad, oh no
what is life good for
if there's no one to live it with?
might as well not be alive at all.

Where Can You Go?

verse1
where can you go?
no one will know.
in a cave far away
i forgive
see what i found
turn down the sound
bring 'em here to my ear
they will live

CHORUS
and as it flows
time will slip away
know all will come today
and as it breathes
no one can escape
life is a funny place

verse2
don't go away
you'll be ok
be my friend til the end
stay with me

swisted and mad
lift up the sad
bring 'em here to my ear
they will live

Heather

heather, how i love to say your name
heather, my love i can't constrain
think of you both night and day
and i don't know what to do
should i tell you what i'm feeling
or should i just keep it in?

ooh heather! i just love to see see you smile
heather, can i hold you for a while?
tell me, will you be my baby?
can i spend my time with you?
you will be my one and only
and together we'll go through
ooh heather!

Can't Have

can't have
least not now
maybe never
oh well
back off
stay away
you'll return there
someday
too late
to undo
leave the dream now
come to
forget
turn around
time to leave what
you've found
can't have

To Death

CHORUS
I love you to death
I love you to death
and I want you to
be with Me forever.

bridge
oh do you love Me to?

I Believe

CHORUS
I Believe
I Believe that
I Believe that i was meant to be with You.

I Believe
I Believe that
I Believe that i was meant to be with You.

verse1
the water flows from the earth
and as it flows so does Your love,
it flows in me.
the flowers unfold with colors bold
and fragrance sweet.
and that's how i'd like to appear
each time we meet
i will listen for you footsteps
in the evening cool

verse2
i shiver here in the cold
behind the trees, behind these leaves
i hide from You.
what have i done!? what can i do!?
from You i'm torn.
now i realise that it was You
Who kept me warm.
will tomorrow take this pain
away from me?
we'll see

verse3
now water falls from the sky
and as it falls so do the tears
for me You cry.
yet as You weep, i find relief
from all my pain
You give Your love to me in crimson
drops of rain.
then You take me in Your arms
and hold me once again.

I'll Follow You

verse1
Lord, i have a dream
tell me, will it come true for me?
Lord, You have a dream
tell me, will it come true for You?
I can't prophecy
can't see the things which are to come
but You know what's up.
show me into Your kingdom.

CHORUS
i'll follow You
Through whatever You take me through
I know that with You I'll be ok
i'll follow You
no matter what i have to do
and You will lead me all the way.

verse2
oh, oh what a day
when You return to take me home
You will take me away (take me away)
You will remove these heavy stones (and we will)
rise into the sky (rise, sky)
starting a brand new life with you (life)
smiles flooding my mind (smiles)
end of the road is in my view
