Raising the Sea

It's too late for turning back
It's too late for home
I'm running just to make my mind clear
I'm running back home
I'm running back home
Innocence, it keeps me down at bay
It keeps me where I am
The storm of love is not the end, you see
It's just the beginning
It's only the beginning
It's time to let yourself fly free
It's time to face your fears
It's just as hard as raising the sea
but in the end, you're free
in the end, you're free.

Oh brother of mine
Never fail to ask why
the time is alright
for you to fly and shine
Cause now you see
Just how high you can be
in a place of delight
with oh sister of mine
With two lives, two hearts
joined hand in hand
in one love, united in where they stand
don't ever give up, cause look where you'll be
in a palace of paradise, for eternity
Oh sister of mine,
you've found your knight
who'll give you his armor
to keep you safe at night
so now you see
just how safe you can be
in a castle of love
with oh brother of mine
With two lives, two hearts
joined hand in hand
in one love, united in where they stand
don't ever give up, cause look where you'll be
in a palace of paradise, for eternity

Ghost in the Shadow

I will not falter
I will not fail
I am not afraid
I am not frail
I am invincible
a Ghost in the Shadow
Unseen, Unheard
I'm better off alone
Why do you care?
are you lost too?
You're unreadable.
What did I do?
What have I done?
I'm not all that pure
Don't try to read me,
don't try to draw near.
I am invincible
a Ghost in the Shadow
Unseen, Unheard
I'm better off alone

Left to Rust

Is there love without life?
Will our skeletons still hold hands?
My bones cry out for love,
but I know I'll die alone.
Lost forever in the afterlife,
Yearning forever for a love that'll never come
Can I never fit in?
Life is meaningless,
but I do my part.
A never-ending cycle of meaningless work,
Meaningless life.
Smiles kill, laughter more
All to prove I'm nothing more
than a pile of ash, a pile of dust
Made to man, and left to rust
I'm not quite suicidal
but not quite in the mood to live.
Where did the time go?
Was our love as empty as my hands?
I've never known more pain.
Hold on to the little things.
Kill myself to take away the fear
Kill myself to show that I'm alone, but not afraid.
Would you even care?
I am meaningless,
but I do my part.
Throw away all that ever did me harm,
Ever caused me pain.
Smiles kill, laughter more
All to prove I'm nothing more
than a pile of ash, a pile of dust
Made to man, and left to rust
I'm not quite suicidal
but not quite in the mood to live.
