Not a love song

I know your secret pretty boy
The one that haunts your dreams
That dark and lustful passion
Seeping slowly from your seams

Devotion has you calling
Has you down upon your knees
Praying for faith to save you
From doing as you please

A good facade can mask
All the thoughts you try to hide
But your words betray the truth
And the desire built up inside

Presence

I know that you're there
Even if you do not care
I love that you're around
Creating all this beautiful sound
A world without your presence
Would lack an important essence

Musical door

When I fall into that familiar sphere
All the world becomes crystal clear
A brand new way of seeing through
All a remembrance and yet brand new
As waves of beauty wash over me
The colours of peace are all I see

Quiet now

My songbird has been silent
And it's tearing me apart
Not hearing its tunes of merriment
Fills sadness in my heart

Imagining this manic world
Without its thrilling voice
Is just too much to bear
But it's not up to me such choice

Pitch Pain

You're clogging my brain
Don't want to hear you again
A struggle within
That I can never win
Why let myself slide
I don't want to hide
So I'm not listening no more
I'm closing this door

Minstrel

Sing to me softly minstrel mine
Check the tears that slowly shine
Clear the stars from the deepening sky
And answer me truthfully the greatest Why?

Is it to stand on one's two feet
A battle grand in mind to beat
A gauntlet run to learn the few
Those lessons that will make us new

Help us bridge the schism deep
That keeps us up and makes us weep
Sing to us softly of times gone by
When we were young and not prone to cry

Guide us through to the other end
So we can meet again, my friend
Your soothing song a lullaby
That heals our soul and answers Why.
