My New Time

Did you see me the other night? Did I catch your eye, your attention sliding by on a cloudless night? Spying down and spinning around To the naked eye I'm far from a sight to see Drawing lines on both hemispheres and the stars outshine me Always analyzing Sending out our findings It occurs to me... We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light Pushed to meet criteria in the long run Don't you think that I've had my share That the burden I bear compares to what I receive If you label me obsolete I'll remain here among, and as a part galactic debris We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light Pushed to meet criteria in the long run We are all satellites with golden wings inhaling the light Hope to meet criteria in the longer run Have I outstayed my welcome here? But I may linger a little longer, hang around for no particular purpose or reason Before you burn me in your atmosphere (crash me into your sea.) push me out of your orbit... ...know that I will always remember Know that I won't consider surrender

Sometimes darkness is my sole companion and the shadows seem my closest friends Immersed in pitch black contemplations I shy away from the slightest hint of sunshine but doubt is never far away and fear is never closer A hint of irony cannot help but course through my veins How to recognize the signals, The features of dishonesty The eye of the tornado In the eyes of our companions? Like serpents in the shadows, my closest friends conspire There's simply no way of telling In which shadow you might bind me There's no predicting which of your hopes will eventually blind me When doubt is never far away And fear is never closer, A hint of irony at play, coursing through my veins Like serpents in the shadows, my closest friends conspire

I think you know what we lost when we failed to share a life, but tried I think we lost perfection somewhere Where I wouldn't dare to look again For once drink with me tonight Let's not waste another second Let's wash down the years and savor this coming night until the call of light Pour the wine and let us drink the pleasure we never dared to treasure That stinging nostalgia, Indefinable memory, Locked away For once drink with me tonight What I see, what I hear this scented sentiment had to come from somewhere All I can do is try for words to tell you why I can't let go All you can do is try to remember why I can't just lock it all away

A cold wind is blowing from the sea Yet I'm walking barefoot on the shoreline (bearing to my destiny) Words of fire burn like salt in my blisters And frozen whispers represent my enemy All has fallen to the sea Why do I still feel the heat? Are your whispers frost or fire? Am I drawn to these extremes by a never resting need, or the angel of desire But it was not always so... We used to share a destiny Am I imagining, or do I see you walking towards me? Put your hand in mine, pull me closer There are no more words that burn or frozen whispers on the waves

I hate it here Pillow of shame, blanket of lies warms the primitive I hate it here in this new year, with the sun new in my skies Broken glass on corroded brass, it tells a time A new time, gentlemen Blinding glance, raise my glass to my new time I'm naked here I'm in the blind, in blinding cold Not a shiver moves the primitive I hate it here in this new year, with the sun new in my skies Dead weight on my shoulders, sir A mule of circumstance Am I this blind? Can I not see this? Am I blinded into seeing nothing real? Cry in your pillows, swallow that pride Keep your blankets for these colder nights in the new year My new year My new time, gentlemen

Return to my vineyard tonight Lose yourself in touch and taste again You will come to understand the meaning in time and savor of the sentiment Physical distance is minimal And image, distorted, reflects in your eyes I relate to communication on opium and five senses alert to the breaking point Divine interpretation Define for me the chemistry and time... Enter and let your findings be mine The presence of nature's essence politely requests that you lower your voice If this silence is lost to a stranger, the chemistry breaks with a breaking noise Sound waves are pounding on eardrums, but there are no more deadbolts on the portals of me Found myself in the arms of a stranger who left me for dead (in a)... for dead on a broken dream Divine interpretation Define for me reality and time Whisper and let your findingd be mine Burn with me in Absinthe's bluish green flames Come away on a Laudanum dream Inhale the night air through the dragon and blow blue rings through a pictureless frame Divine interpretation Define for me the chemistry and time... Enter and let your findings be mine Divine interpretation Define for me reality and time Whisper and let your findings be mine

A twist, a turn, been lost more than once too many already A hit and a run, kicked in too late to be kicked to the curb again regardless of the consequences You have had me seen me falter, felt me shiver You have had me right where you wanted me You have twisted and turned my life upside down (and right side up!), right when all I remained was a footprint in melting snow You have seen me slowly disappearing and yet, here I still remain for all to see yet I've still not had it Doesn’t it make you wonder how exactly you’ve been playing me? You have had me seen me falter, felt me shiver You think you have had me right where you wanted me It turns out You have had me seen me falter, felt me shiver You have had me right where I wanted me

Unnoticed, I slip outside Tiptoe through the corridors, close to the walls Cross over reluctantly, cast another glance Outside the streets await a guest all too familiar On the corner, in the alley Tidal waves of stimuli bringing every nerve to life Walking on a ledge Nine lives on the razor's edge Shadowmancer, play the light Companions for another night Don't I look trustworthy to you when my weapons are retracted? Please stay clear of my boundaries. So unwise to corner me A simple lesson learnt and you keep your eyes to see I am of kings and queens, predator with eyes of green Meet the eye with elegance, turn my back in arrogance Raise my head with endless pride, still I'm not too proud to hide Egyptian demigod Cruel and kind Creature of the night I've earned my place in history but superstition followed me Call me vampire, witch's friend. It won't kill me, and I'll be right here till I fade

Hello again, familiar morning routine Time's ebbing away, but I feel no rush today No urge, no hurry, just the rhythm of the rain Sliding by, not here... I’m not nearly, nearly there So it’s back to black again in the early morning hours How I'd love to run away from the dogma that devours me So what’s different about this morning? The setting's the same as everyday Who can tell what rearranged the rain To wash my fears away? There is so much more to living, so much more of the divine to gain for this silent colony bathing in the morning rain So it’s back to black again in the early morning hours How I'd love to run away from the dogma that devours me So it’s back to black again but I’m thinking of the escaping from the dull monotomy and the Sundays that are breaking me... I break me The stage is set for saints to fall and cleared for cowards to surprise It took me time to realise the life I lived and left behind is better off a memory Let's see what dreams I find

Many went to the shimmering land of make-believe and ventured the farthest corners of the mindscape Merely testing the ice, I never went too far from the safe and solid ground Afraid of the darkness I might find (underneath) Exploring the mind to escape from your daily lives, where you become the head of a state in a state of mind All links to reality fading Pandora's box lies waiting Instead of the roof of the world it becomes a nightmare We expect perpetual motion, a chain effects The newfound land out to be a grain of sand (ever volatile) Searching the edge of consciousness for insights in the outside world Well conceived, but such rules only apply in this state of mind The key lies in knowledge, temperance No magical answers or escapes from reality, but a marvellous break for a visitor passing through

In this cascade of memories I wonder what could have changed, had I changed Questioning what and why can’t undo the day Yes, I realize... What’s done is done, but the night time raised the mist to another day in shame Can I only look back and wonder what could have changed, had I changed? Time is ebbing away, but it's in no rush today What’s done is done but the migraine still persists and the autumn rain remains Show me the nearest well to drown my discomfort A shallow pool A shallow pool of hope will do Show me the nearest well to wash my tears away A shallow pool A shallow pool of hope will do Can I only look back and wonder What could have changed, had I…?
