There is a dark place that I know

A place where I would never go

It haunts me like my own shadow

And steals my breath away

It keeps me locked inside my head

With things that live beneath my bed

And in the closet, something said

Please come inside and play

At night I hear the scratching walls

And laughter trailing by footfalls

As in my ear the darkness calls

You damn well better pray

And if I make it through the night

I’d be a sheet of ghostly white

And never slip into the dark

Or there, I’d have to stay

I Dreamed A Dream With Close-ed Eye

And Dark Dispelled The Void

A Universe So Deep Inside

Where Light Can’t Be Employed

I Stood Upon The Brink Of Time

A Fragile Humanoid

As Gears Sung In Their Pantomime

The Rise Of The Android

Two souls with no two feet to mate

In separate lives do loom

Sealed by the eternal fate

Of tragic lover’s doom

And love that is but only lost

Hangs upon the moon

It waits for time that never comes

In desolate cocoon

And if it were to breathe

It would be dead by now

But love lurks underneath

Because it dreams somehow

The endless roaring of the ocean

The sound of the great machine

As it marches up and down the sands

Onto lands t’were never seen

The endless blaring of the wind

The sound of the great turbine

As it blows across the ocean

Weaving in and out of line

The endless thunder of the land

As it crashes b’neath our feet

Pulling upwards into mountains

What was buried under street
