A Twist of Fate

I open my eyes was that real or was I dreaming I don't hit the ground but I'm falling forever I'm close to the edge and I want to just fly away To silence the voices is this the only way? I bring you my dreams that inspire imagination They are nothing like yours so I lock them away again I lie to myself and believe that I'm healing The higher I climb the longer I fall I remember skipping rocks across still waters And I remember chasing colors flying through thin air And I remember the water shone my first reflection I can't forget always waiting I was wishing you were there You were never there Primadonna she was sleeping with a stranger again Godforsaken and the savior hanging on the bedroom wall Contradictions they manifest such deep resentments in me Transparent one I'm not naive and you you're not holier than thou Amen I'm inside you I deny you I surround you I defy you Hear the voices they are godless No forgiveness so relentless In the real world you feel real pain A never ending war inside again and again Are you who you think you are My life runs through your veins Try as you will my son try But you will not break the chains of misery I can feel anger rising like the sun rises everyday that I'm here Now and then you return to open the wounds again and again Screaming voices conspire and critique every breath I take I remember as a child I said I loved you I remember the silence was so deafening I'm inside you I deny you I surround you I defy you Hear the voices they are godless No forgiveness so relentless In the real world you feel real pain A never ending war inside again and again Are you who you think you are My life runs through your veins Try as you will my son try But you will not break the chains of misery I've been living to die I'm dying to live I'm here to break the chains of misery Silence the voices the critical voices The psyche of a child is a ravenous thing When nothing's ever good enough There's so much suffering Why do we run there's no place to hide Tangled in the strand that can bury us alive The spiral is up and down twisting our fate around The bird in the cage sings a beautiful song Because it's bound by the strand Alive in me voices lie to me It's never good enough for them They always want more than I am You put your hand in the cage Now your bleeding and the bird is free Apathetic apologies are the offerings as the world grows so cold suddenly You're just another lost soul so join me cause misery loves company Crossing over human bridges a child is born he's looking up to me We're skipping rocks across the waters that rise above the depths of woe is me Why do we run there's no place to hide Tangled in the strand that can bury us alive The spiral is up and down twisting our fate around The bird in the cage sings a beautiful song Because it's bound by the strand

I've been living in the past Trying to live without you I can feel your presence here But I just can't touch you anymore Memories are all I have and your picture fades from the light of another day Can you hear me call Call your name Cheyenne I am I am so far away Can you feel our dreams They are slipping away I've been looking to the west where the silent man can hear the harmony Of the children's song and its sweet refrain I just can't hear it anymore Memories are all I have of the sun and stars dancing endlessly Can you hear me call Call your name Cheyenne I am I am so far away Can you feel our dreams they are slipping away I am Cheyenne I am the sky the wind the rain In my dreams my friend I can see you again Look behind my footprints in the sand This moment I stop to wonder why I long for yesterday Tomorrow pulls me under All the while I wallow in the mire The moment just passed me by Sunrise will you grace my eyes Bless my soul make me whole again The voice of reason guides me home to the summit in the sky Where amber waves and endless days celestial spheres catch our gaze Desperate cries prayers unanswered Angry are the faithless Who are they who left us here The anthem loud the question is so very clear We stare into the stratosphere all alone I am the salt of this lonely satellite A grain of sand the tide has washed ashore All I am All I am nothing more You quote from the book of the names The words don't mean a thing anymore Forever more My mind has the will of the wind The cross you bear The martyrs clever disguise and my testament is seen with my own eyes You await angels of mercy descend down through the sky I live among the living I'll live till I die I found a piece of mystical broken heart It's longing of the child left behind Till the end of all time that child had the will of the wind We've come to a place where the road divides and there's no turning back not this time Are we mortal men or are you divine The cross you bear The martyrs clever disguise and my testament is seen with my own eyes You await angels of mercy descend down through the sky I live among the living I'd rather dance with the wolves than stare at the son Hear my confession I am alive And if it gives you solace Then pray for me in silence Just please save your pity and seek redemption for yourself And if from grace I've fallen won't you forgive me and make me whole again I hear the voice of reason They speak to me in silence I feel I can't deny you I will deny your likeness of man I see Cheyenne is mourning She bleeds for all humanity And if it gives you solace Then pray for me in silence Just please save your pity and seek your redemption You can save it all for yourself And if from grace I've fallen Won't you forgive me and make me whole again I've been living in the past Trying to live without you I can feel your presence here But I just can't touch you anymore Memories are all I have and your pictures fades from the light of another day Can you hear me call Call your name Cheyenne I am I am so far away Can you feel our dreams They are slipping away I am Cheyenne I am the sky the wind the rain In my dreams my friend I can see you again My friend Cheyenne this is the end
