TICKET TO OBLIVION

This is what she told me
I do not exist
Just somebodys memory
drifting in the mist
A thought like tumbleweed
at the mercy of the wind
Someone needs to catch me
so my life can begin

Chorus:
Don't buy a ticket to oblivion
Don't ride your life off the rails
Stick around for another morning
only cowards bail

This is what she told me
I do not belong,
but it is my right
to prove her wrong
Much like a snowflake
I don't make a sound
I will blend into obscurity
once I hit the ground

Chorus:

This is what she told me
I do not conform
To be the captain of humanity
riding out the storm
It's the mind that matters
The fuel for the fight
Keep an eye on the target
Let the bullet take flight

WILLOW

As she slept right there beside me
I sipped from her a glance
I knew I forever would
Recall this circumstance
I knew that I'd protect her
hold her when she cries
And wipe away the teardrops
from the nightmares in her eyes

Chorus:
I gave my heart to Willow when she offered me her smile
Promised me a wonder world for that was just her style
I learned about the darkness, the shadows in her soul,
but she found in me an alchemist who'd spin her dread into gold

I promised I would listen
when her worries fell like snow
To melt away the madness
I hope I'll never know
My arms would be her harbor
where sorrow come to die
To be buried in a paupers past
beneath the restless sky

Chorus:

There's never been a time
when I can claim regrets
For I have always loved her true
from the day we met
We don't live in a castle
We have no dimes to spare,
but all I need is what I have
who keeps me warm all year

Chorus:

I WILL LOVE AGAIN

This is a song that was inspired by a dear friend of mine. She provided the inspiration. For that I am eternally grateful. It's basically a song for those who has loved and lost, but not to give up and get back in the ring.

There are days when the universe doesn't make sense
Time is an anchor that moors discontent
Life is a butterfly flapping it's tiny wings
Going nowhere tied to an invisible string
I walk alone down roads made of dust
Searching for ways I can regain my trust
The past is my foe that fills me with fear
But if I get ahead I will no longer care

Chorus:
I know I will love, I will love again
When the sun sets on you at the seasons end
When the dark disappears and the light shine through
We will know, we will know just what to do

You don't choose love, love chooses you
When you least expect it there's a rendezvous
If you build a wall it will be broken down
If you run away you will be found
I've tried my best to stay strong and brave
To fight against what I no longer crave
But love is sly feelings dormant lies
Calling for me I hear it's battle cries

Chorus
