Childish Dreams

One day I'll live near the sea,
And my lover will be with me,

At a quaint, old house,
A small fireplace and a pet mouse,

Where many waves will crash,
I'll look on down as they splash,

And I'll see a november night sky,
Dark blue against the black sea,

When behind me there is light,
And someone standing near feeling right,

A welcome dinner and a warm bed,
Some place I own, to where I'm led -

By childish dreams and a floating mind,
All the details are not caught in rhyme,

But this will be true one day,
And I'll see those same stars and say :

Hello.

Waiting For Vengeance

Well, what is this?
What am I  coming to?
And beyond that, what am I gonna do?
Now there's blankness
Where once your eyes held light
But that was so long ago

That was last night.

Well, what was that?
What's that sound I hear?
It's my lifetime
It's whistling past my ear
And when I look back
Everything seems smaller than life
The way it's been for so long

Since last night

Now I'm leaving
Any moment I'll be gone
I think you'll notice
I think you'll wonder what went wrong
I'm not choosing
But I'm running out of fight
And this was decided so long ago

It was last night.
