The Long Road or the Short Walk?
The Long Road or the Short Walk
Late at night,
You'd whisper,
"Little bird,
Don't shed a tear.
Don't worry,
Cause when you wake up,
I promise that I'll still be here."-
With empty words,
You swore-
You held me up so high.
Oh, but don't worry,
My darling
I didn't fall,
I just learned how to fly-
Hey!
(Chorus)
(2x)
It's a long road,
To nowhere-
But I can see that you're already there.
It's just a short walk though,
To crazy-
And I plan on taking you with me.
Now this may be my stairway to heaven,
Or the highway straight down to hell!
Whether I'm falling,
Or I'm rising up,
Sometimes I just can't tell!
All I know is time that you changed your
Cool as sand once night falls
With a voice as beautiful as the stars-
You always smile while singing
Another sad song,
Played on your. sister's guitar
You put on such a happy face-
But when the lights are cut,
I see-
It's just another mask you're wearing,
So that you can. never- be free-
You always stand in the storm.
Longing for comfort,
But the wind can't keep you warm-
So you tore- out your heart,
And you hung it in the sky,
But you still wait for the rain,
So that no one will see you cry.
A minute,
An hour,
A whole day,
You just
Let the moments slip away-
Chasing daydreams,
Turned to nightmares,
Running from the te
A rose left on a throne of thorns,
Her flower yet to bloom.
The path to her awakening spells
Both salvation,
And utter doom.
The prince who’d free her from the vines,
Binding tighter than iron chains,
Is trapped within a tower,
Where after ten years,
He still remains.
Strong enough to remake the world,
Yet fragile enough to break within,
Our wayward rose on her thorn built throne,
Has to find where all things end,
In order to begin.
She will follow the river of dreams,
Whose sighs and aching screams,
Cut deeper than any knife,
In order to find
The tree of sorrows,
The flower of joy,
And lastly,
The seed of life.
Heaven’s sufferi
I am ape,
And I must march into the tide of evolution.
Tendrils of gray mist swirl around me.
The further I step away from the past:
Forest greens,
Blue skies,
Rich earth,
This Elegant simplicity,
The more I change.
My limbs thin out,
Becoming long and clumsy.
My spine straightens,
Pulling me up from the ground.
My fur falls away,
Until only hair remains on my head.
My forhead unwrinkles,
Becoming smooth.
My nose changes,
Going outwards to a short point,
Pulling my cheek bones higher.
My paws become hands and feet,
Fingers long an spindly,
Toes short like stubs.
I can reason,
I can think,
I can build,
I am human...
Color me,
Color me in red-
For every single time I've wished you dead-
Dye me,
Oh dye me in blue-
Cause I'm so sad without you-
Paint me,
Paint me in black-
So I can try to take my love back!-
But draw me,
Draw me in white-
For I'm just a shell-
Of myself-
In the night-
(chorus)
Go on now but-
You can't change me,
You can't change me,
So don't even try-
Cause I know that
Hope is life's sweetest poison-
And love,
Just a bitter lie!-
Go on now but,
You can't change me,
You can't change me!
It don't matter,
Caus in the end-
I'm still too scared to forget you,
But too brave to keep on waiting!-
Carve my heart,
Oh ca
