Window
DT Song #107
Alone in my room, I sit and count the shadows
that pass before my eyes. The flashing of
headlights through my window...
The passing of time, the whispering winds.
The echoes of all my dreams from so long ago
Chorus:
I had so many worlds, so many eyes to see
Now my vision is retained to as far as I can peer out this window.
Limited is my view of the world, love a word so foreign to me
It's all changed now. Trapped in a world of four walls
its doorway I can't reach. I glance out my window...
Screaming for assistance, no one hears.
Another morning in my private hell, unwind and glance around
and see the sights I always have. I've waited so long for freedom
my eyes grow tired searching. Counting the minutes,
the clock ticking, the days of my life pass me by
My only comfort the words I write, my only solace the voices in my mind.
Alone again, another day. Patiently I glance out at tomorrow
Oh how it seems so much like yesterday...
Repeat Chorus
Solo Break
Silently I stare out my window, The sun casts its shadow
I watch the images form on the wall
I close my eyes for a moment...they're gone
The rain falls at night like the trickling of my broken heart
The dancing of the waters racing across my window
I never can tell the difference from the path of my tears
The winds call up to me, I open my eyes and only wish for a way to escape
A look out my window, the visions that fill my mind never change
I look out my window, the sadness within my eyes remains
Looking out my window, waiting for the world to end...
Solo Break
Destroy the silence of my fears. Lay to rest all the visions of the past.
Shatter the glass of my window, climb out of my solitude
drag my broken bleeding heart over the shards of my life
Try to realize I'm not alone...
Looking out the window of my life, only know what is before me
The shadows of what I've seen come back to haunt me
The windows of my life come crashing down
A shattered image lost in my feelings
The windows of who I am lay upon the ground...
Destroyed are the days I never really knew...
Fade Out
Spirit Dancing
(In the Dark)
DT Song #117
In this world that had fallen apart before me
I walked barefoot through these burning ashes
that left me scarred, left me no shelter
left me nothing to cling to
Cascading rains blind my vision
Blistering lights obstruct any chances to see a future...
Confined to an unrelenting nightmare
Bound to my sadness, how can I escape...
I can't even remember how you came into my life
When I opened my eyes the trembling tides of my life came to rest
I was scared and alone, I was losing the sight of hope...
Somehow you rescued me...
Chorus:
A spirit dancing in the dark...
How did she see me, for I had lost the light of happiness
and I wasn't searching when you saved me
You're a spirit dancing in the dark, picked me up, took me in
restored my faith, and now I'll be forever dancing with you
In the twilight beyond my dreams, in love with you eternally
She was just like an angel, she is just as I dreamed
And with the strength that I have found once again
I call to her to prey on my darkest fears
And I...shield her with my comforting light...
Beyond truth and dream, beyond sight and sound
Transcending all demensions, we are forever intertwined
No time or distance keeps us away, I close my eyes for a brief moment
And you dance into my life once again
Solo Break
Repeat Chorus
Your image dancing through all my dreams
The light of your eyes burning right through me... Take me in...
Take me up to where you are, resting softly in your arms we begin to move
I lose myself in your stare, forever I am yours
Dancing in a never ending dream...
Fade Out
Future Visions
DT Song #114
Before you turn away from me, before you walk away
Please let me tell you all the things I feel
Before you run to another man, before you break my heart complete
Before you shatter all my dreams...
Give me a moment to gather my strength
Everyday I, lived my life for you, tried to give you all that I could ever give
Every morning I rose to tell you that I cared
Every night come home to love you, don't know what else you could need
I was in love with you, held you above all the world to see
Ran to the highest mountain screaming out your name
Thought we would be forever feeling the same
Chorus:
Now I can't see tomorrow, future visions have escaped me
Trampled over the dreams I had, ripped my heart from its place
I'm scarred, looking for a place to hide
I don't want to feel no more, my senses have died
My future visions turned black
Before you take away all the things I gave you
Before you eliminate all my memories of you
Take some time to think of me, who I am, and what do I feel
Before you vanish from my dreams, before you fade forever from my eyes
Allow me to think of us once more, it's hard to think of the pain of moving on...
So now I'm reserved to living without you, I'll never forget you
from all the pain I've seen. But just remember that I'll always be in love with you
Solo Break
Repeat Chorus
Before you take everything from me
Before you strip me of all my hopes and dreams
Please think of me and see what will happen to me when you're gone
Before you run away to the other side of the world
Before you fall away from my sight
Please call me, so i can hear your voice one more time before you fade away...
Fade Out
Some Haikus
Shards of broken glass Pieces of my dream
Line the silent sidewalk. Only Magic carpet takes me there
my chalk outline remains Stage of sound and light
Poetry
A Day in the Life
DT Poem #20
Written 1993
Time
Awakens to a silent bell. Where do the hours fall
Do the days I spend fly away without no memory
Fate
It lies upon the wind. Never resting.
Life is guided by mystery, time is dictated by thought
Feelings are generated by me.
Future
The unanswered question. We never understand
The isolated road that lies ahead.
Life
I can't control your life, I can't tell you anything
The only words I say come from inside
The only life I lead is the one that needs you
Existance
Forget all you know, forget all you feel
Begin anew and try to find something real
If you understand me reality is illusion
Dreams are the key, escape with me
If we can fly to the stars
There would be nothing keeping us apart
Sleep
A state where I see you, a time we can fly away
We find each other and stay away
Only to return to our own existance
When the morning bell makes its sullen sound.
The Flashing Screen
(A Reflection of Net Relationships)
Written: January 1996
A glassy reflection
In which I etch my name
Gave my world over to
Someone who's hand
Dropped my soul
And watched it shatter
But that was yesterday
I hastily glued my life together
Not worrying where the pieces fit
Just to make my appearance
Well enough to put myself
In danger of falling again
But I do it every day
Why the hell should I care
I don't have a soul to them
I'm simply print on a screen
A blank stare responding
To every whim you may have
Have you found the image
Contained behind the name
Do you dare access the feelings
Left behind when the screen is blank
What's keeping you from looking into my eyes
And finding out what makes me do what I do...
Painting a Poem
DT Poem #40
Written: January 1996
I painted a poem for you
Since your image I've yet to see
Your face with gentle brush strokes
Your hair fine mixes of soft hues
I painted your eyes
That bore into my soul, left me
So hypnotized that i had to
Close my eyes and think about you
When I painted your lips
A bright crimson splash about your form
It took all that I had from kissing them
Wishing your lips would somehow appear
like a dream before my eyes
But if I was a magician
You would be lying here beside me
And I wouldn't need this
Canvas for drawing your image
For only me to caress
For only me to love for eternity
This painting I put away
Cause I will keep it with me
Always and forevermore
I would wish everytime
That I paint a poem just for you
Magically you become the image
I put forward on my canvas
So I would paint you falling in love with me
And I would paint a poem
A simple poem of you and me
Of Rain, Of Trees, Of Life
(Looking Out the Window, Late on Jan. 17, 1996)
DT Poem #41
Written: January 1996
I think of you, I think of bathing in your calmness
I think of running carelessly when you coat me
Shimmering in wetness
A warm day, you cool my soul, let my drift beyond all the sadness
You comfort me, let me watch you trickle down a lonely stream
To a rushing river
You are serene, I sleep to your echo
I breathe in unison to your sullen song
You destroy me, you shattered my world
You pierced my dreamland, broke me off in the midst of life
You choked off my breath, disguised in your shining crystal persona
You make many tremble in delight
In my mind's eye you still are a murderer
Choking the oxygen, immobilizing my hands
Cutting off my head and laughing as you watch me die
I collapse, spine shattered. I am severed, paralyzed
Waiting for the chainsaw to deliver me to my final resting ground
You invaded my world, stolen my reason
Made a cold wintry hell
The circle turns to me, the lights shake on and off
I look outside and a snapping signifies a new death
But the rain falling to the ground signifies life
I see life in death, death in life.
And I am the one standing in the end
That is if I don't slip and fall on my way down the stairs.
The Comprehension of Existance
This is a series that I wrote in 7 parts. It was written mostly in January
of 1994, right around my 21st birthday. I wrote it about the idea of getting older
and what the future, and what life means. I hope others may ponder the same thoughts
that I did about this time of their life, and realize not to waste one day.
DT Songs #87-93
Part I. The Calling of Life
(Reality only Knows what is Real)
Words change a picture, dancers carry the message
The paint tells me the world is forever yearning
Waiting turns my existance, I can't learn their phrases anymore
All I wanted was happiness, all I needed
Was the touch that would set me free
Before my eyes confusion it plays my mind until I see
Find the dreams next to the ocean filled full of tears
My emptiness waiting for your words to erase whatever is left behind
Forget who I am, identity changes as does the state of mind
The spoken word it heals life
And the world is truly a lie
A word its meaning always, eternity timeless...
Learn to feel with the heart and soul
Does life exist, communication the channel
To break the chain, must have more than just this...
I wish I could take up to the sky, watch from above
or know what you're feeling. A guess is my only intuition
If I only knew, until that time I can always be
a servant to forever's eternal call
Solo Break
Try not to picture the changes in your mind
As the song of changes unfolds not to your pictured desire
Time illudes grasp, keeps humanity at bay.
Never holding us against our will
Always night changing my mind
Hoping the sunrise brings future to me...
Walk out with a mixed reaction, forgotten of all that made your life
Turned into a product of no immagination
It seems future, bleak, passed, lost, emptiness hollow and cold without you there
Once I see, Never again do I leave, I ask you for life
Do you bring me any hope for chance, any chance for fear
any fear for reality, any reality for the dream
I'm calling out your name, listen in the still moonlight for the echoing call
Do you hear me? Do you know?
Waves come crashing, feel my journey left to the ashes below
Teetering on the edge of a dream, only one way to fall
Only wish for happiness, only wish for the light to take me home
I no longer exist in human eyes
I crawl in the darkness waiting for a reason
The time when I will be set free... (what is my calling) -repeat-
Fade Out
Part II. Passing of Time
(Seasons and how they Change Me)
Takes me from open promises, swallows me up with fear
Chances are my dream would fade, seeing my life pass before my eyes.
Time carries echoing dreams, passing through revealing all my feelings
Hope change rushes quickly, turns my existance, reality needs me
Once my friend, now turned against me
Time travels, never stopping, life changing, reality mistakening
Once is my thought of loneliness, forgetful is the meaning
Thought, passing the years of my life
Time carries echoing dreams, passing through revealing all my feelings
I'm lost through all the struggle I've seen
Seeking help, I find you there
Once I know the reason, I'll be at peace with the dream
I ask for redemption, want solace from what I've seen
The change of season brings tears to my eyes
Solo Break
Never count the days to existance, forgotten is the meaning of
life's misguided reason, again alone I stray to the purpose of
feeling apart to an existance, waiting for the last few
strands of life to fall upon me
Take me away, find me a better place, wait upon my arrival.
When I need a friend, try to comfort my worry
Once a man, now decimated to nothingness
Time captured me a prisoner to the march of life
Time carries echoing dreams, passing through revealing all my feelings
Words express my faith, time dictates the seasons, pass my life
Fear the cooling rain, night falls, I watch alone
Need you here, share my life forever
Cold wind winter blows, beauty, unhinged life, a standstill
The leaves falling from the trees, wind gusting upon my life
Somenday soon as the leaves we all must die...
Interlude and Fade
Part III. Search for Identity (Where I am is not Far)
Gone are the days that I remember so vividly
Forgotten is the time I carelessly grew fond of
Now I chase the wind, recapture what I forgot
Paint the darkened picture, now I know what is gone
Chorus:
Seemed to noitce the future abandoned
My presence left out, missing from the pages
Rewrite the mystery, find my existance, while you forget about me
Why...didn't I see it coming, how can a love so true
Be now strewn over the fire
As the charred remains of life fly away, ashes take to the sky
Gone is hope, love set to die
Repeat Chorus
Carry on, act like I'm not there,
Forget about me, I cause distress and pain
But what about the nightmares and loneliness that remains
Solo Break
I'm gone, forgotten, a memory in your eyes
Darkness has taken me in, given shelter for the night
The wind now calls my name, shows me which way to run
Alone, solitude, soldier lost forever
Misery recluse, eternal wanderer I've become
Interlude and Repeat Chorus
Once a name, now a face written down in the journal of forever
Now at peace with the beast within
To find me, gather your strength, embrace the cold darkness
Look upon the silent skies, stretch yourself upon the wind
Face the rain and the storm, maybe you'll find me
Among the stars above
Fade Out
Part IV. Voices (Sleep is only Temporary)
Do the words I speak set you free
Do these long cold winter nights take away eternity
Does life fade with the blink of an eye
Can asking for forever be too much
I gaze out upon existance, intaking what my life once was
I remember who I am, identity that could've been
My feelings lost between breaths, my future stolen by a word
Strange how life fades, strange how it reappears
Focus my eyes upon you, the haze of the past slips away
Life takes form, vision revealed
Beauty, definition not known
Once I see you, life is changed
Climb to the highest mountain calling out your name
Once I knew love's name, I found happiness and solace
Once I rode among the clouds, I found meaning, I knew the passing of time
Change grasped my heart, seized the routine, vanished from my eyes
Left me vagrant, alone, forever wandering, searching for home
The voice, tonight in my dream, this morning in my heart
I see you, entranced forever, wish only to be with you
Want only happiness, trying to evade the darkness
Waiting for the cascade of emotions to awaken my slumber
Only to tell me to feel, again....
Sunrise...Sometimes I pray, other times listen to the crash of the waves
Wish I knew where you are...want to rise above, find you...
Let you feel the hands of time carry me to you...
Fade Out
Part V. Accepting Life
(Tribute to the Beauty of Heavenly Creation)
Look upon the calm waters, where I once knew you
The feelings I truly had cast upon eternity
Waiting for an answer, I call above expecting everything I dreamed of
Once I asked for happiness, now just ask for existance
Justify my life through the words I speak
Make the world listen, but they don't see the tears I'm crying
Why can't I stop hurting myself by falling in love so quickly
I glance into the eyes of forever wishing for definition
Capture my stare, create a sense of the unknown
Ponder my inhibitions, create something that can last forever
Once I tried to hold on, now my story comes to an end
I kept the secrets down deep inside
The rush of emotion set the night free
Rescue me, cross the ocean filled with despair
Night is long, the seasons carry on without you there
Solo Break
Forever I hear your voice, hold me captive with your eyes
Tell me everything is all right, and tonight will live forever
No more tears as the days roll by
No more sorrow when the sun drops from the sky
No more pain as the leaves, they fall and the snow
covers their beauty...
Fade Out
Part VI. Questions (Freedom Once, Freedom Again)
A man is secure enough to admit when he's wrong
Life not perfection, his journey portrayed tedious and long
So much I don't know, where do I go, how do I get there
Chorus:
I've just begun this journey, I've so many questions
How do I find love, how long is life
Where do I go when all is lost, who will protect me when I fall
Where are the answers...
I sat in forever silence until awakening, my senses I found
Reasons that just led me to this place
Trying to find the meaning of everything that runs around inside of me
Pain a temporary state, joy and happiness so erratic
Never know when I feel this way
Sadness a shadow behind me waiting to slip around me
Loneliness my friend, he must go...
Solo Break
Repeat Chorus
I've so much to ask of you, no time to wait ignorant to life's
eternal question. Need you in my life to chase the fear away
Love is what I need to feel, I once heard it can last forever
And that way I will be free
No more confusion, I will be free
Fade Out
Part VII. Observances of Humanity
The world seals my fate, prisoner cast from above, forever wandering
Trying to fond my place. searching through society
Only you can set me free
Watching over me: A thousand lives, a thousand eyes
My life carefully followed, my dreams scrutinized
Till life os no more than what lies in front of me
I have no soul, no dream or apparition
Sleep comes unwanted, vision chases away existance
Tonight I forget who I am just so I can try
To find life somewhere in these ashes
I awake to the sound of your voice
As if the calm before the storm
I lie awake to dream. the vision comforts me
Once more before you're gone. set me free, let me dream
The clouds that submerge the dream into darkness seem to follow me
Waiting for the heavenly abyss to set me free
Sent from above, you're my angel
Chase away the sadness, love has returned to my eyes
Solo Break
Every night I try, but just can't reach you
As the dream you fade into the barren mist
Now that you're within my sight
Now that you touched me there is hope, a reason for tomorrow
Forever I accepted the words spoken to me
Life was sadness, the pain was too great to bear
Walk into my life, seasons change
Now that I have a vision, I can find out what love is
Cone save me, I'm here waiting
Life you cast upon me, the spell enchanting, forever lasting
Find me, here below the rising sun
A new day, a new life, a dream...
Fade Out
