Going home to places you've never been
I opened up my doors to let you in
I saw you and felt excited
but in the end I was distracted
I faded away form you
to look at someone new
You Fall in love with ideas held in heart
You might just see your life fall apart
you have someone close turn into a ghost
This is what you'll miss the most
I feel myself turn inside out
When water well you never let me drown
I see rainbows are fading in this new world I am creating
You were my pot of gold
The one thing I don't have anymore
You Fall in love with ideas held in heart
You might just see your life fall apart
you have someone close turn into a ghost
This is what you'll miss the most
If I could see through your eyes
Little things I looked over
On the day that you were gone
I was looking back
I was looking back forever
You Fall in love with ideas held in heart
You might just see your life fall apart
you have someone close turn into a ghost
This is what you get when you fall in love
Before you go breaking your heart
Don't let your life fall apart
Take the ones you love and hold them close
This is what you'll miss the most

The Gates of Heaven

I. The Gates
Lights seep into my dreams
I see the world fall beneath me
I’m going to a place
I’ve never been before
Above the clouds I’m floating
And now the sky is glowing
Approaching golden gates
I’m knocking at the door
Standing before the glowing light
I can’t believe the face I see
A familiar spirit speaks
From the other side
His words echo deep within me
Songs that I could never hear him sing
His presence is the voice
That’s knocking at my door
Questions flying through the sky
Asking do I live or die
But either way
I’m left behind
His spirit stares into my heart
But it’s love that’s tearing me apart
Who do I leave behind
When I close the door
II. Losing you
Driving down a long road
Blinded by falling snow
We take a turn
Where I didn’t want to go
Direct hit from the side
For a second I am blind
I wake up to find
Her body’s getting cold
Looking into her eyes
I say one last goodbye
Leaning back into
A sleep without an end
My soul freezes inside me
Why did I just see
Another tragic goodbye
Her spirit’s taking flight
III. Losing Myself
See the storm pass through the sky
As cars crash in blinding white
Knocked into a panic
In the middle of the night
Broken bones but beating hearts
Except for one that got hit too hard
Knocked into a slumber
Where my soul departs
Souls float on in sinking hearts
Pain will drown us as currents drift apart
Storms will pass as you grow older
I’m just glad that your story isn’t over
Don’t miss me when I’m gone
‘cause I want you to stay
I’ll be with you forever
When I’m carried away
I see you live your life
And I’ll be alright
Floating on a cloud
While you stare at the stars at night
Darkness blinds the eyes that see
A world that turns without me
Candles burn and emotions turn
To sadness no one should live through
Holding hands and beating hearts
We realize we are all parts
Of each other so keep holding on
To gifts life gives you
Souls float on in sinking hearts
Pain will drown us as currents drift apart
Storms will pass as you grow older
I’m just glad that your story isn’t over
Don’t miss me when I’m gone
Because I want you to stay
I’ll be with you forever
When I’m carried away
I see you live your life
And I’ll be alright
Floating on a cloud
While you stare at the stars at night
IV. Coming Home
Staring into the glowing light
I have made up my mind
I see the spirit stare
Into my soul
I tell him that I’ll come home soon
I swear that I’ll remember you
And when I return
I’ll knock on your door

Hope

As we prepare to say our last goodbyes
Monsoons form and fall from the sky
We flood our hearts when souls sail away
But hands to hold are here to stay
Beyond our minds, within our hearts
We realize we’re never far apart
From wherever we came from
It’s what we can’t see
It transcends all of our beliefs
One small spec in the universe
One giant leap for us to observe
The earth is just a spec in time
Blink your eye and new stars shine
We will spin and we will turn
And with each other we will learn…
Beyond our minds, within our hearts
We realize we’re never far apart
From wherever we came from
It’s what we can’t see
It transcends all of our beliefs
One small spec in the universe
One giant leap for us to observe
We exist on this earth for mere seconds in comparison to the length of time our planet has been spinning. Each star in the universe has burned longer than human history, each planet in our solar system spins faster than the daily chaos that we surround ourselves with. We fail to realize how small we are in comparison to the universe, and that leads to a failure in coming together to help each other.
We obsess over our own ideas about politics, materials, and careers. We put each other through hell because of the Gods we believe in. But we need to understand that our limited time of existence should be used to love, it should be used to heal, it should be used to appreciate all we are given, because you never really understand what you have until it’s gone.
We will all go through times of suffering, where we believe that the world has turned against us, where we wake up fearing our own heartbeat, and fearing for the lives of others. Learning to love each other is essential to our survival. We need to take the hands of the people we are told to shy away from, because collectively, we can create hope.
