Ambition

Beauty of the mind and soul
Treasure that deserves a struggle
A dream to shatter ignorance
Higher beings, higher glory
Stronger will to see it burn
Always striving for perfection
Never pausing for a smile
I know I'll have found it
When my judgement shall cease
Honesty survives

Transformation

Brotherhood is what will guide us
Spring can only last a minute
If I love you it's enough
Spirits lead our path to glory
If we grasp what "glory" means
Family is what we will it
We're all just energy
But forgiveness must be earned

Mortal Art

Don't let your tears burn through the pages
Don't let your grief consume the truth
Just listen to the poet's echo
And prove to them that you have won
A word will never fail you
The way our choices do
Once ignited
Never dying
Force will never silence songs
I forgive you
And I trust you'll
Rip the shackles off your minds
My sail shall never fall

The Castle

Please don't ever doubt I need you
I try to reach for you but fail
Maybe time will bring the answers
Or the frozen lake will thaw
Jealousy will not kill kindness
My heart will treasure every lie
Roses bleed after they blossom
Ink whispers of brighter days
Maybe one day I will join you
Some notes are meant to die alone
This requiem belongs to you

Detour

Shallowness is a distraction
Shyness loosens every tongue
An innocent smile betrays cunning minds
Power is the refusal to share freedom's kiss
Naive I may be
But there's ice in my veins
Underestimating truth
Has always been your strongest suit

La La Land

Remember my words
This truth is immortal
Even though our fate's uncertain
Destiny's our blade to wield
Years pass by
And yet I hear you
Whispering you're proud of me
Echoing your last goodbye
Color matches its surroundings
Love might suffocate your dreams
Try to choose wisely

Rehearsal

Posing for the cameras
No one has to know your heart
Maybe distance means you're learning
Hidden truth - a withdrawn hand
Cheerfulness to cover doubting
Longing for the smallest smile
Approval never equals praise
One kind word might steal your heart

Because that music I hear when I close my eyes?
-I know I'm not the only one listening

Melancholy

A dream descending into chaos
No willingness to share in sight
Thoughts linger just below the surface
Friendship seeks to heal in vain
Piercing eyes demanding dances
A step too far, yet just for show
Sudden truth can fuel feelings
True sadness smiles beneath the veil
(Stage kisses are all you know)

Acknowledgement

Unsure of truth

Afraid of rhythm

The smile is pain 

-and yet determined

Physical fear smells of reluctance

Authority's a narrow bridge

Something new means something daring

Eloquence is dance reversed
