Switch

Switch

Flip the switch
The bulb turns on
The room lights up

Flip the same switch
The same bulb turns off
The room's light empties

I am not a switch
I am not a bulb
I am not a room

It's simply not that simple

Dare to Dream of Something More

Dare to Dream of Something More

So long as I am the one
To hold you in my arms
I will kiss each tear
That rolls from your eyes
I will listen to every heartbeat
I will believe in every song

I will dream
                    of something better
                    of something brighter
                        something special
                        something more
                                          more of this
                                                        this life
                                                        this life with you

I will support you through every tear
Your eyes shed
                 shed when hurt
                                   hopeless
                                   helpless

I will cherish the moments
Your heart races
                  races with joy
                                   excitement
                                   passion

I will sing in awe
Of you and your compassion
                   your will
                   your love

Through the darkest of days
You make me believe

Through the most hopeless of moments
You make me believe
You make me believe
        make me believe
                        believe in me
                        believe in the beauty I see
                        believe in the happiness of we

We the lovers
We the loved

Truth's Final Ascension

Truth's Final Ascension

Stop this shedding of tears
And speak the truth

Stop this spreading of fears
And speak the truth

Stop this theft of hope
And speak the truth

Speak the truth
Into ears still listening
Into hearts still open

Sing the truth
Into songs still playing
Amidst the distracting noise

Forever I am hurting
Forever I am waiting
Forever I am sacrificing
For the truth

The truth
Is beyond control
As are all things absolute

Remove the masks
And bask before fading
In the light of this truth

Know in this truth
Secure in this truth
Bound not by this truth
But by your courage

But by your courage
Is the truth strength

But by your courage
Is the truth forsaken

Forsaken by those
That fear this truth
That this world
And its people

Are forever
Truly
Lovers

Lovers of this truth
Lovers of this love
Lovers of this dream

This dream prayed upon
By lies bent on controlling
You, me, and everything
We see and feel
Everything we know to be real

This dream
This fragile, yet powerful thing
Made strong by our sacrifice
Made immortal by the inevitable

In the end
Only the truth can come to pass
Even without eyes to witness

Even if the witness
Is forever of the past

The truth
Transcendent of time
Beyond our limits
Will forever be
Long after we cease

Be a part of its legacy

See the truth
Speak the truth

Be the love
Share the love

Be the truth
At armageddon's strike
An attack against our conviction
Do not fall

Stand upon the truth
Stand for the truth

And when the end obtains its self-proclomation

Alone, love will stand

Made whole by the legacy of truth
