lyrics

I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel
and I followed it until I found the power for the inner struggle
Before the day ends make sure that I’ve grown just a tad bit more than the day that has blown - Away

I can’t leave it up to fate, I’ve got to take it face first, with my head held high
And a sudden burst of energy I use to keep alive

A feast for my soul that most try to interpret
Asleep and alone and the words give me comfort

I seek nothing, but a peaceful suffering at the end
Perspectives blurred and the mind needs direction

Accomplishment is an achievement long over due and
And to do this, release the pain through the music

Let them have it, they never seem to understand it
I’m capable of, singing with the pain, ain’t that something?

You’re capable of taking it for granted when I love it
My soul spills the life liquids onto this canvas

If you looking for the answers to your questions
I don’t have them

I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel
and I followed it until I found the power for the inner struggle
Before the day ends make sure that I’ve grown just a tad bit more than the day that has blown – Away

I say it best when I’m trying to get you vexed
I put a hex on whoever can not connect

I take you back through my history, but it doesn’t reflect
Who you think I am
because what I am to you …
is just another dead poet without a clue until I’ve spoken

I’m just as pitiful as the rest but my perception of life’s just a beautiful view of my intellect

Now see the light, it’s a stunning resemblance, I’m headed, towards an exit
I’m eccentric they say, natural multiple personality disorder, and


The closer I get, the farther it pulls back
The more bizarre the thoughts, the more I know I ought to relax

Side by side with the titans in my younger years,
I kept fighting with gods as if I was - a peer

It’s do or die in this struggle to understand
the muffled communications we so urgently demand

I keep at bay my spirituality - meditating on top of a grave yard city
I dig deep for the meanings I’m scared to speak

I’m incomplete
So I’m letting the heart bleed

I’ll make it easy those who can not explain it
I make it difficult for those who can’t appreciate it

I write the words that are hard for me to say and
I mark the map with an x so you can find me later

I’m outter space, with a falling star guiding me
And if the transmission gets to you in time see

I hope you hear it,
I left this world, I saw the light

I freed my spirit
And I write to you -- this, letter from cloud nine

I’ve seen the light at the end of the tunnel
and I followed it until I found the power for the inner struggle
Before the day ends make sure that I’ve grown just a tad bit more than the day that has blown - Away

Up on cloud NINE, waiting for you to find
Gravel stone hiding, in deep blue Poseidon
