~My "Gold"~
Oh Pactolus...
Pactolus...
Grant me one wish.
For I've sent your friend Silenus to you in good spirits.
One wish I have,
And I'm so certain of it.
Oh Pactolus grant me my gold.
My acres of sin.
Grant me this pleasure.
This ache...
This yellow tin.
A touch from this arm,
This joint,
This finger.
A touch from this hand...
And my god will linger.
Oh Pactolus Grant me my gift.
Pactolus...
Grant me one wish!
...What have I done?!?
Dip me in Dionysus...
I'll leave it this scar.
Which I can see from my window,
This gleam from afar.
Wash me over,
and give me health.
Save me from my greif...
Save me from myself.

~Love Is Just Some People Talking~
Have my lips tasted sweeter fruit?
The passing of one moment And I've stolen a thousand kings loot.
One instant and the world a million times spins.
The only thing I feel Is my heavy, shaking limbs.
But it was an instant.
It was cold, and then hot.
And it only waited for me...
To become something I was not.
Shake me like the rest.
There are no more digits to wiggle down.
I've never become the thing you wanted.
Because I can never become what you've deemed me "unable".
I can only be all I'm able.
And I'm so willing.
And love?
Well baby for me, thats just something to talk about.
A conversation peice to label the reason why I cry...
Alone.
Light me up with glee and watch me set off.
I've blown up in your face a thousand times too many.
But all this time you come back to me with that one word.
Can this be?
Can this be...
That all my falling on my knees would count for something?
It's too much to ask in faith.
You don't hold the keys,
Because you never asked for them.
It's just another chink in your armor.
The gleam that glitters so silently blinding you.
I was blinding myself too.
I've offered that dirty cloak so many times before.
I'll lay it before the prideful's feet.
And I'll solemly swear that anothers won't pass my lips.
And I won't share this life with anyone...
Until I've been given convincing word.
I've told you once...
I've told you twice...
And here's the third.
Ask anything of me...
Anything of me!
And give in equally of yours.
......
yeah... I've had a bad life too my friend.
Some times I guess we just need to fall before we find our feet.
