Angel of Desire

Angel of desire
Summoned from the mire
Crimson lips dark eyes
Fallen from the sky
Love like a drug
Lust underneath the starry skies
A harmless sin
Succumbed by your luring eyes
Love like a fire
Thrust underneath a weeping moon
A dirty deed
Pink laced
Explosion coming soon
Indulging dark desires
Twisted like barb wire
Angel of desire
You’re hired
I’ll be your sire
Demon of the fall
Headed to the ball
Curvy hips dark hair
From the Devil’s lair
Angel of desire
Love like a drug
Lust underneath the starry skies
A harmless sin
Succumbed by your luring eyes
Love like a fire
Thrust underneath a weeping moon
A dirty deed
Pink laced
Explosion coming soon
Indulging dark desires
Twisted like barb wire
Angel of desire
You’re hired
I’ll be your sire

Fool in The Dark
03:00
|
|||
The spider schemes
with stealth beneath a rose
disguising thorns
Her sweet alluring pose
Her fawning awe
and fervent charm hold sway
Though beware the wicked web she lays
Faye, Faye, takes your breath away
She’s rotten to the core
And besmirched by hate
She’ll play you like a fool
Like another prey
You’re a pawn on the board
In her cruel game
Snug in its fur
The cat comes out to slay
Her razor claws
Her hiss keeps them at bay
A rodent darts across the yard
Blood stained
Like Jeffrey Dahmer
smiles on her face
Faye Faye like an early grave
She’ll rip out your heart
And throw it away
You can wear the crown
To your dismay
Like a fool in the dark
Standing in the rain

Shadows
03:21
|

Days without shadows are days without sun
Gloomy is the sky by clouds overrun
Bright is the earth where the dark shadows lie
Cast by the beams of a glittering sky
The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun
So behold the shadows for when all is done
I’ve come to love the dark in every single way
For without it, we’d never find a way
I have a large shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very much like me from the heels up to my head
The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun
So behold the shadows for when all is done
I’ve come to love the dark in every single way
For without it, we’d never find a way
Blackened by the fire
Cause that’s where the love is
Navigate the dark
Until the light comes in
Still as a windless night
The moon shadows are
As still as a darkest heart
Propelled by fright
The clouds descend upon
The darkest night
Upon the stillwater
Brings morning’s light
The darker the shadows, the brighter the sun
So behold the shadows for when all is done
I’ve come to love the dark in every single way
For without the shadows, we’d never find a way

Enter Your Mind
03:58
|
|||
Long ago the story has been told
Transmutation of lead into gold
Hiding in the corners of my mind
I’m so smitten with it all the time
Up and away
Transcending time
The sweet bliss
Crawls up my spine
Down in a place
So far away
These lovely thoughts
Take me away
Enter your mind
Kissed by the sky
Not too long ago
I was a boy
Playing with your world
My favorite toy
Dodging any sense of inner growth
I’ve opted to change
I’ll take this oath
Up and away
Transcending time
The sweet bliss
Crawls up my spine
Down in a place
So far away
These lovely thoughts
Take me away
Enter your mind
The treasures you’ll find
Far too long I’ve waited
And I’ve stayed
Hindering potential
So dismayed
But with pain
Comes reason
And I know
Good times lie ahead
It’s time to go
Up and away
Transcending time
The sweet bliss
Crawls up my spine
Down in a place
So far away
These lovely thoughts
Take me away
Enter your mind
Kissed by the sky

Wayward Sun
04:08
|
|||
From their folded mates
They wander far
Their dreams beguiled
Underneath the stars
All sick at heart
Nostalgic to the bone
Amid cruel rocks
Yet tameless on their throne
And when the plains fall dark
And the hills loom large
A burning light comes to shine
Down on
Oh it’s a burning light coming down
Like the sun
Like a wayward sun
Bares all to the garden ground
Golden finespun
Like a wayward sun
All harsh and wild
And all just bound to joy
Like a wayward sun
You’re the light
Despite all the damage that’s done
Life ever flowing
Tears come from the start
What is this game
Without love from the heart?
A sacred flame
That none can dim its glow
A gentle ear that speaks
In tender tones
And when the plains fall dark
And the hills loom large
A burning light comes to shine
Down on
Oh it’s a burning light coming down
Like the sun
Like a wayward sun
Bares all to the garden ground
Golden finespun
Like a wayward sun
All harsh and wild
And all just bound to joy
Like a wayward sun
You’re the light
Despite all the damage that’s done
Oh it’s a burning light coming down
Like the sun
You’re the light
Despite all the damage that’s done
Like a wayward sun

Out of the shadows
And into the light
Blue Lotus is coming up everywhere
Carefully standing in weak stride
Eyes open
Face to face in the mirror
Out of the mud
And towards the sky
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
And though I’ve walked the line
I’m burning love inside
Burning love
Like a fire
A most twisted desire
Burning love
Like a fire
Fervent love won’t expire
Out of the gloom
And into the bright
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
Cautiously standing in tamed stride
Heart open
Far away from despair
Out of my head
And into my heart
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
And though I’ve walked the line
I’m burning love inside
Burning love
Like a fire
A most twisted desire
Burning love
Like a fire
Fervent love won’t expire
Out from the confines
of my mind
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
Out of the darkness
Towards the light
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
Out of my head
And into my heart
Blue lotus is coming up everywhere
And though I’ve walked the line
I’m burning love inside
Burning love
Like a fire
A most twisted desire
Burning love
Like a fire
Fervent love won’t expire
Walk the line
Burning love inside
All the time
A twisted desire
Burning love
Like a fire
A most twisted desire
Burning love
Like a fire
Fervent love won’t expire

Heart of Stone
02:33
|
|||
What’s the use of a heart when it’s
broken?
What’s the use of breath
if you make me breathless?
I’ll pry open your heart of stone
Filled with love
so you’re never alone
I’ll be your mirror
I’ll be your reflection
I’ll be your mirror
I’ll be your reflection
The day’s long
but I long for your sweet touch
Enamored with my dearest crush
I’ll pry open your heart of stone
Despite that I’m just an unknown
I see you in me
And though I’m broken
I’ll be your mirror
I’ll be your reflection
I’ll be your mirror
I'll be your reflection
