Story of the Year

Til the day i die
Id spill my heart for you
for you
Til the day i die
Id spill my heart for you
As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you'd die right now
Know thats i die too
Id die too
You remind me of the times
When i knew who i was
Still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does
We'll make the same mistakes
Ill take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Because i know id stay too
Should I bite my tongue
until blood soaks my shirt
Well never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
MY hands are at your throat
And i think i hate you
But still we'll say 'remember when'
Just like we always do
Til the day i die
Ill always spill my heart for you

The Task on Hand


Our days are running low
the stars tell us mysterious things
Evil walks uncloaked in broad daylight
While the goodness lies hidden behind barred doors
Lore develops legend
legend develops story
story develops myth
Myth develops dream
And then
they are altogether forgotten
For the past holds many things
Some we wish to remember
and yet
long to forget

You are no longer in your world
where common things take over life
and ourselves are what we worry about
And no one is there to help you when you ask
You are no longer in your world
where technology is the rape of the world today
And everyone confines secrets within one another
And the grass is no longer green and the sky no longer blue

You have now entered my world
where the rain falls the sky is always clear
And the grass is green from spring to winter
and the trees always grow for years on end
You have now entered my world
where life itself is the importance of the day
And you will never know when you are going to lose that importance
And only the task on hand is what we dream

In my world there are no paved roadways,
We make our own path through life
In my world there are no cars
We drive ourselves to what we dream
In my world there are no buildings
We hpouse ourselves in our own minds
In my world there are no fences
We break them down with the strength of our hearts

In my world
Everything is beautiful, because you are there
Everything always changes, because you are there
Everything is always to my liking, because you are there
Everything is always
Seamless and unspoiled
Perfect...like you

Believe me when i say the world shall end
And only the strong at will shall survive
When finally there are no more rains to fall,
The sun will rise no more
And there is no longer night or day
There will be courage lingering in your heart
And in your eyes the last remnant of hope
Put your faith in the one
And stay at the task on hand

For only those who believe,
Shall be the forthcoming
