Never Comes Silence

Yesterday I saw the flowers crying Mourning for what used to be And then I touched them with my mind And saw they also cried for me Today I saw the high sun frowning Saddened by what I have become No longer able to unfreeze my heart Forever frozen until numb Outside I found the air was dying Stale and lifeless, short of breath Poisoned by my thoughtless needs To slowly lead us both to death And all that is green has now been paled The colors have faded, their brightness assailed And, though I wish to make amends The path of nature now only descends The lonely creature of the woods are going The way of the hopelessly forlorn Until all that remains is myself, wretched man Condemned to die before the morn

Lonely spirits hide behind my sight They search the ruins of a dying mind Dredging deeply for my will and courage To face the future cleansing of my dreams Piles of ashes sifting through my fingers Wailing to the winds of remorse and regret The only remnant of the Past and of tomorrow A shriveled life, a withered destiny Upon a pyre, the ruins of my vision Are burned away, freeing them of sin Who cares to resurrect the unremembered and unknown When even the ashes are just a memory

Follow me not in the depths of what is real Into the objective vision over all And do not join me in my misery In my decision to remain as one apart Deceive me not with false hopes of relief Into believing that good can come of life For I know that belief comes only from insanity When I feel the pain of tortures unknown What do I see in visions discreet Futures unseen, paths not meant to be Where can I find inside my mind A means of escape from all of their kind

Sometimes I scream late at night in my head In vain to release the frustrations And I find no solace in the knowledge and lore That is at the heart of my coping with life And though I try to be not a sinner I am yet a slave to temptation Sometimes I cry when I look at the world And watch it rushing hastily by Without but a glance at my wretched self Unconcerned with anguish and pain A speck in the void, a fleeting cloud on the wind I can't preserve even a second of love But is it too late, Lord, help me not to hate And to show the world that true sincerity lives

I stand on the edge of darkness, small and insignificant Balanced between compromise and conviction The abyss sweetly calls my name I stare at this empty page, reflecting my future Unable to express my inner trepidations In hollow meaningless empty words Who stands between me and self control How small the straw that is the last How thin the walls which seal my mind How close the final episode of apathy

(Words: John Brenner) In the darkness of night The silence slowly takes form The black velvet of loneliness Stealthily moves to envelope my mind And I relive morbid scenes of my life's tragedies The icy touch of regretful woes The spectre that is past grips my heart Inflicting torture and deadly hindsight Demanding correction of my wrongs I walk back in time on the path of despair The memories seem so painfully real Ever shackled thus to my present days I reside in the shadow of depression In the churning maelstrom of emotion The spectre bears me along unrelentingly...

(Words: John Brenner) Your scars remain before my eyes Even those you choose not to reveal Sensitive enough to yet bring tears A burden of grief that I cannot ease Dejectedly I sit and stare Feeling all of my wounds afresh Deep they reach into repressed Feelings which I ever hoped to hide Driven to our self-inflicted pain And compelled to re-live again All of our vulnerable yesterdays Thus we cope in our different ways Who can tell me where to hide What will make you whole inside Most things I know will never change Especially not the ones we wish I torture myself For I haven't any answers So in despair we continue on Fearful of another sunrise Of another harmful dream

Lost inside the waking world Where all is fear and decay Playing the fool of society The lonely game of life Where is true sincerity My own emotions I can't even trust In the web of conformity It seems there are no answers

Here is the night And here I am Where I remain within the walls Which protect and hide My thoughts on fast-forward To empty promises I've made myself To a place everywhere... And nowhere Racing thoughts no stop them please won't someone make me Laugh again I just want to sleep forever only without dreams Just black nothing but sleep never comes I reach out call out No one is there no one hears where are you maybe I'll Never know find me save me from all choices all futures No answers never come I'm alone No one watches me In no one's thoughts am I now Must it be as if it never were? I can't see beyond yesterday As I fade from your memory So do I fade from my own (goodbye...)
