Too Much Negativity

A carnage, a battlefield,
a terminal ward of eternal death,
a land abandoned by God
a land of many diseases.

The negativity is haunting,
Consuming and tearing life apart.
But of all the negativity,
I see a soul smiling.

Is there something wrong?
Is there a reason why?
We're putting up a fight?
Could it be the fear of darkness?
Of losing what we hold so dear?

Humanity prevails so ever-lasting,
in a land unfinished, undone.
The giving hand moves
creating a so sweet smile.
Or so we tell ourselves.

There isn't beauty in this truth
But there is truth in this beauty.
All this words of constant lyricism
holds no beauty, holds not truth
builds no home, bears no life.

Everybody Cries

Yes, its the song that describes what I am thinking inside myself.

Oh baby let it rain
I feel it washing over me
The anxiety
I watch it fade away
Coz everything can change
It changes right in front of me
Could you set me free
To where I wanna be

Chorus
Is something wrong, is there a reason why
We're putting up a fight
Don't be ashamed to open up your heart
Everybody cries
I look above and search into the sky
To help me make it right
And now you’re gone, well what am i to do
Everybody cries

Goodbye is kinda hard
It's not a thing i like to do
Can you pull me through
Into a better day
Forever in my heart
You'll always be a part of me
You believed in me
And that i won't forget

Chorus

No-one
Should ever be lonely
And we were meant to walk together
Together

Dead Man's Rope

A million footsteps, this left foot drags behind my right
But I keep walking, from daybreak 'til the falling night
And as days turn into weeks and years
And years turn into lifetimes
I just keep walking, like I've been walking for a thousand years

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow

If you're walking to escape, to escape from your affliction
You'd be walking in a great circle, a circle of addiction
Did you ever wonder what you'd been carrying since the world was black?
You see yourself in a looking glass with a tombstone on your back

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

Now I'm suspended between my darkest fears and dearest hope
Yes I've been walking, now I'm hanging from a dead man's rope
With Hell below me, and Heaven in the sky above
I've been walking, I've been walking away from Jesus' love

Walk away in emptiness, walk away in sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away in anger, walk away in pain
Walk away from life itself, walk into the rain

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
I'm just hanging here in space

The shadows fall
Around my bed
When the hand of an angel,
The hand of an angel is reaching down above my head

All this wandering has led me to this place
Inside the well of my memory, sweet rain of forgiveness
Now I'm walking in his grace
I'm walking in his footsteps
Walking in his footsteps,
Walking in his footsteps

All the days of my life I will walk with you
All the days of my life I will talk with you
All the days of my life I will share with you
All the days of my life I will bear with you

Walk away from emptiness, walk away from sorrow,
Walk away from yesterday, walk away tomorrow,
Walk away from anger, walk away from pain
Walk away from anguish, walk into the rain.
