From the dark, I see a light
Then I remember that it is night
I wonder where its comming from
I leave my spot to find it's source
I stumble through a cluttered course
I can see it getting nearer
And in my living room I see
An old, old man starring back at me
I wonder what he's doing here
He said that he had come for me
To take me to the place were I will be
As old and grey as him
He takes my hand so very soft
And all at once I shake and cough
I feel my life slowly slipping away
Then I pass out on the floor
This life I love I'll know no more
As the man carries me away
I awoke in a lighted room
Now it's my turn to congure doom
As a mother walks up to me
I tell her that this won't hurt
But in fear she grips her shirt
As I take away her final breath
06/11/99 Pollution
(of the Brain)
I stand upon a dividing wall
From my spot I can see it all
I see a city fading fast
Looking like nothing compaired to it's past
I see skies filled with smoggy air
People running from despair
I know this place is familiar to me
But what it's from I cannot see
I turn to look at the other side
And now my memories I cannot hide
I know this place I stand behind
It is the darkest corner of my mind
I remeber seeing it on a TV
While the doctors prodded me
Who knows what they were trying to find
In the reaches of my mind
Then finally they were done
To me it was anything but fun
They couldn't find what they were looking for
My mind is now clouded forever more
What they did had brought the smog
Fit only for a swampy frog
It clouds my head, I cannot see
I wonder what they did to me
Now I stand between sane and insane
Wondering which will consume my brain
Or will I fall victum to the pollution
Is it too late to find a solution
06/11/99 Different Places
You stand upon the beach
Looking past the water's reach
I stand upon a house top
Looking south, I cannot stop
A tear runs down your face
You wish you were in another place
I cry your name into the night
Wishing you were here to calm my fright
You cannot be with me
Because you're trapped by the sea
I cannot be with you
Because I'm trapped by this house so new
You wish together we could be
Instead of further then the eye can see
I wish that I was not alone
But instead with someone to call my own
