I walked around the empty floors and knocked on every door
I was waiting for my face to greet me
just as it had done before
Only this time more than mere reflection
staring coldly back and forth
I was walking down the hotel corridor
When I came to a dark corner
Now I could have been crazy,
but I swear I saw myself
I saw a better me
I saw everything
But how was it so
What kind of magic lurking these walls could project such wonders?
I suddenly think that if I caught me
I'd be right to steal it all
I should thank the grand magician
blessing me with this dilemma
It wasn't until much later and much too late
that I would see too much
only to see no more.

The Passageway
He stared off
Beyond reality
In between the lines
Where the truth blurs
then melts away
The passageway
we all approach but never enter
You've found the center
Now my friend
The lion's den
It waits for you
Our names our called
in random order
There are no borders here
You take your steps
You disappear
Beyond reality
In between the lines
Where the truth blurs
then melts away
The passageway
we all approach but never enter
You've found the center
Now my friend
The lion's den
It waits for you
Our names our called
in random order
There are no borders here
You take your steps
You disappear

Head of the household
She is our glue
The strongest fixture
Angel with the heart of blisters
and when she cries
the whole world shatters
She's the master adapter
who lasts every chapter
to once again brighten
the world with her laughter
With a warm heart and spirit
so pure you can hear it
and a love that could transform
the loneliest victim
The strongest fixture
Angel with the heart of blisters
and when she cries
the whole world shatters
She's the master adapter
who lasts every chapter
to once again brighten
the world with her laughter
With a warm heart and spirit
so pure you can hear it
and a love that could transform
the loneliest victim

What's really in the box?
In the box
Where the truth lies
Locked away
like a mental case
Take the safe
It holds a fortune
You can buy your dreams
The easy way
Down the steps
Out the front door
Go with murder
Seize the day
Into the woods
Under the spiders
Lost in the fear
that holds you in place
Enter the fog
like a wave of protection
Reaching the end
Paying attention
What have you done
to deserve this escape?
Where the truth lies

Under the spiders
Lost in the fear
that holds you in place
Enter the fog
like a wave of protection
Reaching the end
Paying attention
What have you done

Still World
"I feel like the dream is over"
Says the man inside the wheel
I used to feel it spinning
Now my world is still
And so I kneel
I ask for the things of yesterday
that packed their bags and left me craving
Now I wait here incomplete
Says the man inside the wheel
I used to feel it spinning
Now my world is still
And so I kneel
I ask for the things of yesterday
that packed their bags and left me craving
Now I wait here incomplete

Mr. Negative's Trees
You ask "Where's the positive?"
I say "Mr.Negative"...you need to open those eyes"
"You're in the thick of it....all the wasted time thats been filling up your life is a ship full of regret waiting to capsize"
"The trees" he said
"The trees...please believe, were looking at me!"
he said "Tellin' me to do things!"
"They've ruined everything"
"All my dreams"
"Cursed!" he said
"They cursed me!"
