A nightmare to remember
I'll never be the same
what began as laughter
So soon would turn to pain

The sky was clear and pretty
The air was thick and still
Now I'm not one to soon forget
And I bet I never will

Picked up for a moment
The perfect irony
A flawless new beginning
Eclipsed by tragedy

The uninvited stranger
Started dancing on his own

This is the new world order
Plague upon our peers
Spreading accusations
Of radical fears

The brotherhood of wisdom
Strength and dignity
Its rituals and secrets
Remain a mystery

Beneath an ever watchful eye
The angels of the temple fly

Turn the key
Walk through the gate
The great ascent
To reach a higher state
A rite of passage

The final stage
A sacred home

Remember days of yesterday
And how it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had,
I thought would always last
The summer days and west coast dreams,
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father,
Idol and best friend

I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget

Morning shows on the radio
The case of the missing dog

Seven years ago
In a foreign town
Far away from home
I met the Count of Tuscany

A young eccentric man
Bred from royal blood
Took me for a ride
Across the open countryside

Get into my car
Let's go for a drive
Along the way I'll be your guide
Just step inside
Maybe you'll recall
a cannibal curator
A character inspired by my brothers life

Winding through the hills

Freedom - Calls my name
Serenity â Keeps me sane
Happiness â It dulls the pain
Honest - To see my place
Open - To other ways
Willingness - To understand
Justice - but do not judge
Courtesy â for others' flaws
Kindness â Itâs not that hard
Self-restraint â of tongue and pen
Inventory â My daily friend
Analysis - let down your guard

Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty Space
So insecure find the words and let it out
Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place turn the water into wine
But i feel im getting nowhere
And ill never see the end
So i wither
And render myself helpless
I give in and everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
