Have You ©©

Have you ever woken up 

Standing a top the highest peak

Have you ever found yourself in the dark

Not knowing what you seek

Have you seen your life flash by

While still dreaming of a future

Have you seen it all

Yet it’s all a blur

Have you ever felt your heart hurt so much

You wish it would stop beating

Have you ever let go of something

Knowing you were not meant to hold onto

Have you seen me

Out amongst the dark skies

Have you ever found yourself 

Wandering down empty streets

Have you ever looked into the eyes 

Of those you know

Have you lived or just existed

As you march into the setting sun

Have you ever held someones hand

Did it warm up your  soul

Have you seen someones face

After you smile back

Have you

Free To Fade Away ©©

 

Freedom is a cost that I can no longer afford

All I wanted was to be who I was

I wanted to walk among other human beings unimpeded

Free to live free without borders or any limitations

I searched across oceans and deserts

Over mountains I stumbled

Freedom is impossible to find

Not even in any bedrooms I’ve been lost in

I see a different world from what I used to be

I can’t find what I’m looking for because I don’t exist

Each breath I take is stolen from the past I was

Today is not where I have gone but where i have been abandoned

I just want to run away from it all but I only manage to fade away

This is not where it all begins, it’s where it all falls apart

The night crumbles all around me

I have become aware that freedom has become a prison

Is it me that has become indifferent

Does it matter what I do to make it all better

How can I change who I am to find what is impossible to have

Freedom, is it just a word, a thing or the end

Walker

Sailing Under Blue Skies ©©

Is this the end or a new beginning
Things are changing as the dream crumbles away
In this new beginning will I have freedom
Or will I have to run and hide

All I see are glass walls
The fearless running naked in the streets
The fearful cowering in their cubicles
Fields of humans filling the promised land

This is where it all begins
Where fear battles ignorance
The winner claiming our souls
With the future of humanity on the line

I know we can’t hide forever
We can’t run from the inevitable
Fighting each other is pointless
Suicidal, unless this is what they want

I’m just tired of it all
I want to pick a star and sail away
Somewhere far where freedom is in every breath you take
Every thought you make

Sail away to the past
Where the future is only a thought
Life was free
The skies were blue

Walker

It's In The Stars ©©

Run away with me into the night
Take my heart to places only you can reach
Far from the craziness that’s all around
To a place where only love can find

The stars map the way to my heart
A path for someone to find and explore
To a place where love is not a stranger
Yet absent in the skies

How many times I have felt love
Sought and failed it
Never has it been hard to find
Just hard to hold onto

All the times I thought I got it right
It felt and was what it was meant to be
Each and every time I held onto the thought
Sacrificed feelings that tortures ones soul

I put my heart in you hand
To take it where you please
To run away with me into the night
To follow the stars to the end of time
 

Walker

Ghosts ©©

Is it safe to go outside
I have been locked away inside for so long
Left to live with myself
Forced to look within

Fear bound our bodies
Threatened our freedom
The rules imprisoned us from all we were used to
Punished us for our own good

Do you know what went wrong
How did all this happen
So many people viciously attacked
The dead, the walking dead

Were we betrayed
By who
Was it them
Was it us

Is the cure enough
Is it all we need or is it just for now
How did we succumb to such indignities
And all that’s still to come

I am alone in my thoughts
A wounded soul
Shattered by time and all that’s been
Left wandering all alone, surrounded by ghosts

Walker

Running Out Of Time ©©

 Another sleepless night
Another early morning
Another wasted afternoon
Another day gone lost

Time goes running by
It doesn’t stop to look back
It doesn’t slow down for you to get off
It keeps going on and on

Stepping out into the wilderness
Everyone seems to be running
Everyone is running to be somewhere
Aimlessly crashing into each other

It’s a mad world beneath our feet
Keeping us running from there to here
Sometimes nowhere but to our minds
Making us insane with what is real

Living is not enough
This can’t be all that there is
There has to be more
More than just this

The clock on the wall is ticking away
Telling us that time doesn’t wait
Telling us that it doesn’t repeat itself
Telling us we’re running out of time

Every night I lay down thinking about tomorrow
Every morning is the same
Every afternoon is lost in thought
What can I do

Walker

Empty Palm ©©

Give me your hand
Let’s walk through the dark of night
We can dance among the shadows
Hide from all the prying eyes

Give me your hand
Let’s walk along the beach
We can fall into the water
Send waves up to the stars

Give me your hand
Let’s travel the land
We can see what is strange and new
Whilst we discover who we are

Give me your hand
Let’s sit by the fire
We can get lost in the flames
While being swallowed up by our thoughts

Give me your hand
Let’s chase time together
Give it a run no one will forget
Until the end of dawn

Give me your hand…

The Highway Of Doubt ©©

Time after time I hear the chatter of life
The laughter, the tears
The cheers roaring through clear skies
The wails that pierce the soul in the darkest of night
The skin’s weathered and withered
Lines carved into seasoned leather that measures time
Laughter and pain distort what was born
Into what we see before us
A stranger to any mother
Yet stranger to none other

Down this highway of life
I, we travel blindly with a purpose
Innocently falling into the bondage of social disrepair
Freedom that has a price we are forced to pay
Becoming willing slaves of circumstance
Is it all in vain
We torture our minds with questions we already have answered
This darkness hiding beneath the laughter and smiles
How often I have gone to sleep
Hoping to awaken to another reality

Why do we need to rest to find peace
Someone once said “All you need is love”
He got shot in the back
Fate always awaits us all down the highway of life
Each exit with a different fate
But in the end all exits make their way to the same place
The same destination
Only time will tell your story
Your beginning
Your end

Walker

Cold Sweat ©©

Say you, say
Tell me of what you know
Tell me before you turn your back and go
Tell me what no one else knows
Something special
Something right
Something wrong
Just, something

The nights grow cold as the days grow long
Tears pour out of darkened skies
Washing away the dirt and grime
But the sins of time always remain
Poisoning all the tomorrows to come with that
That, that doesn’t exist
It’s not something that can be seen
Because it never was

What happened to you
What happened to me
If we close our eyes would we see what was
Or what we have become
This or that
Shadows of yesterdays
Names only whispered beneath the winds of time
Myths to become

Is there nothing left to say
This void is tearing all of us part
Striking us down
Smothering us with the unknown
Hate and despair
Doubt
Who can we trust
All those lies told

Is there anyone left out there
Hiding in the darkness
Waiting to escape their prison
To scream about liberty and freedom
Tell me something I don’t already know
Something special
Something dark
Just, something

Walker

Viral Insurrection ©©

Down dark lonely streets I follow

Past alleys beckoning to swallow me up

Listening for familiar sounds

Touching the air for a taste of what fills my soul

The shadows stretch across barren walls

Hiding what time has written upon them

Out of the minds that were

For those who have forgotten to read 

Hey man, what can I say that others haven’t said before

No one listened then so why, why, why would they now

The sounds of children playing, a woman’s screams in the night

Do we care anymore

We are becoming a lost generation

Forgetting who we were

Who we wanted to become

Settling for what is given us

Darkness comes for us all

Will we let it swallow us up

Will the shadows drag us off down the dark alleys

Or will we say no, no, no more, I can’t take it anymore

Walker

Time passes by

Can you see it flying away

Can you hear it in your head

Can you feel it draining your soul

If I press my hands to my ears

Will the bleeding stop

Will the memories remain

Can I remember who I am

The silence is deafening

The screams driving me insane

In my head you are dying

Gone forevermore

I know what tomorrow will bring

It’s in my head

In your heart

In our souls

Can you feel

Can you see

Can you hold

What you can never embrace

You just can’t touch this

Walker

Alone ©©

Alone

Alone at home

Alone in the world

Alone in the universe

Where have all the people gone

Where has time run off too

Where did all those years go

Where are all the stars I wanted to hold

It feels like all is gone

Was it something I did wrong

Am I sad

Am I glad

Am I alone or just lost in a cloud

Alone in a crowd

Are we so much alike that we are lost to each other

Can there be a cure, a cure for what

All alone far from people

A long long way from home

Where time has stopped

All alone but for my thoughts

What does it all mean

Has the universe become so small

Or has my soul lost hope in the unknown

Alone

Walker

Eternal Cumbustion Of The Mind ©©

Through the fog of time

Across the expanse of my mind

Plucking out my eyes in search for a soul

I dive into the void for more

What will I find

Who will I find

Will it be yours

Or will it be mine

Will you be my whore

Will you make me your bitch

Can I learn to love again

Can you learn to hate what I am

Will you judge

Will I lust

Can I trust

Can you betray

How can there be something

When nothing lives forever

What can I give

That, that can’t be taken away

What am I waiting for

Laying here on the floor

Locked in a prison

That once was a soul

In the fog of time

I tear at my mind

Swallowing my eyes back inside

I hope I don’t crap them back out

Walker

Maybe ©©

Sometimes I look in the mirror and don’t know who I see.

Sometimes I hear myself and think, who the fuck is that

Everyday I walk out into the crowds and disappear

Everyday people walk right through me

Maybe I’m here

Maybe I’m not

Sometimes I say hi to another human and they run away

Sometimes I walk into a business and they call the police

Everyday I try to be who I am

Everyday someone wants to step on me

Maybe it’s my fault

Maybe it’s not

Sometimes I think I am a different person

Sometimes I think I am not

Everyday I scream to myself, what is your problem

Everyday I screw up

Maybe it’s fate

Maybe it’s not

Sometimes the world is cruel and unforgiving

Sometimes what is right, is very wrong

Everyday the Earth bleeds souls

Everyday I look into the mirror and see it’s cracked

Maybe it’s me

Maybe I’m cracked too

Walker

Footsteps ©©

Footsteps skip across the night

I hear them slipping and sliding

Coasting down the road

Not in a rush yet, not casual

Are they going somewhere close

Or somewhere far

Are they going somewhere special

Or fleeing another life

The night howls but the footsteps clatter on

Singing their way through the night

Rain can’t slow them down

The mud clings to their souls

I can hear them clear as day

Marching to their own tune

Tripping on unforeseen obstacles

But never stopping on the way to the unknown

The wind pushes back

Pounding and clawing at the night

The footsteps move forward

Seeking no relief from what lays before or after

Footsteps kicking out a tune

As clear as day I can hear that they’re mine

I used to think that there was a way out of here

The footsteps I follow are mine

Walker

Highway ©©

The highway of life takes us away

Into the night

Through wind and rain

Lost and bewildered

Delivering us to tomorrow

Robbing us of all the yesterdays

The highway of life snakes through time

Bringing me to the doorway of your heart

To your world

To a new, yet old feeling

To the pleasure and pain that it courts

Fulfilling the cravings that seer ones loins

The highway of life gives us purpose

A reason to follow

A need to find what lays over there

With the moon lighting the path

Guiding us down the path that we have chosen to travel down

The one that lures us ahead

The highway of life lays void

Waiting for us too paint the landscapes ahead

To lead the way for others to find 

To come and see what the future holds

To see how far you got

Or just to see what’s on the other side of the hill

The highway of life is long for some

Short for others

It’s sexy, yet ugly

It’s gentle, but brutal

It’s long and winding

It’s the highway of life

Lost Inside The Machine ©©

Tick……..tock

Tick…….tock

Tick…..tock

Tick...tock

Time goes by

The silence grows

Humanity is dissolving into the shadows

Hiding from the truth

Who is right

Who is wrong

Why does it matter

Is it all about me

Don’t you like the colour of my skin

It’s soft

Is it my religion

I don’t believe in one, I believe in all of them

Is it my sex

I have a cock 

But I have been told I could be a real cunt

Does that make me a hermaphrodite

Does it matter where you have been

Where you come from

Where you want to go

Or only where you end up

Space is not the home of the stars

It’s the silence between each second of time

The silence that consumes us all

Keeping us from reaching for the stars

Each child born into this dream

Will be swallowed up by the machine

The gears chewing up their souls

Fuelling the beast

Deafening silence

Mute souls

Battered and beaten

The walking dead

When will we break the silence

Find the courage, the will

To scream out this is MY DREAM

My soul

Tick……Talk

Life Is A Battlefield ©©

Nights lost in thought

Never finding what I need

A sky filled with stars

None I can touch

Nights spent walking 

Through a jungle of wants

Stumbling over selfish desires

Falling among lost dreams

Nights hiding behind shadows

Reaching out into the night

Grasping for a sliver of light

But none exist

Nights wrestling life

Pushing back when pushed

Winning all the battles 

Yet loosing every war

Nights laying in bed

Thinking of where I’ve been

What I’ve done

Who I am

Walker

Silence ©©

Whatever happened to you?

Whatever happened to me?

Whatever happened to us?

Where did it all go wrong?

Was it me?

Was it you?

Did we fail?

Or is this survival?

Do I remember you?

Do you remember me?

Do you remember us?

Did it happen?

Drums roll across the sky

Lightning lashes out

The darkness explodes

As I look back one last time

When I wake up in the darkness

I see the light on the other side

When I wake up in the morning

I feel the darkness inside me

It’s alright

I live in the night

In the darkness 

Always following that light

Walker

Who Will Love You ©©

I have walked through the ages

Touched endless souls

Seen another’s pain

Caressed your love with a whisper

I have reached out in the night

Filling my arms with nothing but memories

Thoughts of days when we played in the darkness

Danced among the shadows

I was the devil that said I love you

You the angel that made it feel real

Then you were no longer there

And I'm left standing here all alone

All the time in the world is not enough

To heal every aching soul with the love that is

Forever is not enough when I have nothing left

Nothing is all that remains

Who will still love you when there is nothing left to love

How will you love someone when you have nothing left to give 

When I look at the heavens I see the stars looking down

Bright and beautiful, a million angels smiling my way

Walker

Dead End Mind ©©

I’ve reached the end

This is as far as I can run

As far as I can go and still

Hold onto any dignity that may be left

This is where time stops you in your tracks

Telling you “I can’t carry you anymore”

“Turn, fight or lay down”

“Fade away with the fog consuming your mind”

So, this is the end?

It’s bitter taste choking any words that may be left

Reasons and excuses muted by reality

Lost among any truths that may still exist

This is where the four corners of the world meet

Forming a point in the center of a circle called earth

It’s where we all started

Where we all must come to find out who we are

Who am I?

Who have you made me into?

Why?

Is this really the end?

Walker

Over Yonder ©©

I woke up this morning and walked a thousand miles

For lunch, I walked a thousand more

By midday I was ten thousand miles from home

At midnight I stood on the moon looking down at our world

Like a blue pearl staring up at me

Its tall mountains reaching up to the heavens

Beckoning me to come back

To find my way home

I look away to the stars

I want to go over yonder

Far from the world I know

Far from who I am

Over there is who I want to be

Here I am who I am

Surrounded by those who tear at my soul

Shredding any dreams, I may have

A million miles to get away

A billion more to get lost

A trillion miles to disappear

Infinity to cease to exist

Walker

Homeward Bound ©©

I walk through light and darkness

Crossed oceans, climbed mountains

Grasped for what was just out of reach

Crossed the Jordan and fell in the river Styx

Across lush meadows into a land that didn’t exist

I searched for what could be

Found what wasn’t there

Yet still fell in love

I chased a dream

Far from where I began

Stalked by time to the end of the world

I ran off of that cliff and into tomorrow

Falling through time

I saw what was

Felt it all pour in all at once just that last moment

When life rushed up to kiss my ass goodbye

Some would say I'm going to hell

I say watch CNN

Hell?

Hell sounds like home

Walker

Far ©©

Far

Far from where I am

Far from who I was

Far from where I had to be

Wandering from land to land

From bed to bed

From one heart to another

Another stain you can’t wash away

Far

Far from the shadows that be

Far from what I believe

Far from here

Ghosts wander these strange lands

Faceless figures with hollow souls

Hungry

Grasping the air for something to fill the emptiness

Far out of touch

Far from reality

Far from the pain

Far

Falling away from the light

Falling far into the night

Falling far out of reach

Falling into an endless abyss

Monkey Business ©©

Sitting here in the night

Watching the sky looking down on me

I feel like I have been here before

Staring the hours, days away

When I close my eyes

I hear the leaves rustling in the trees

The coons tussling in the refuse

Fighting the creatures of the night for just one bite

I cover my ears

Sheltering my senses from the deafening silence

The voices are still there locked away in my mind

Prisoners of my soul

I cover my mouth

Yet the screams grow louder

Sounding familiar

They must be mine

Sitting here in time

In a beautiful world

Painted on a dirty canvas

Covered with ugly colors

Where Do I Belong ©©

I think I have been here before
A long time ago
I came back too see what I left behind and found
I didn't belong

Sitting on a stool in the shadows of this bar
The bouncer at the door I've seen before
He's older than I
Forgotten by time, or lost

People walk by
A woman is murdering "crazy train" on the Karaoke machine
Others cheer her on
I want too die

My glass is empty
It's time to fade away
But a shadow grabs me from behind
With a haunting voice she stops me dead in my tracks

The room was empty
But for two shadows locked in time
Her moist lips winking at me with each word
Each breath that she took her breasts took mine away

Our eyes found each other and we knew
I didn't belong here
She closed her eyes and touch my soul
Outstretched arms beckoned me into her bosom

The sky was clear
Full of stars
The air crisp as it flowed all around
When she opened her eyes I was gone

Walker

A Twinkle In The Night ©©

I walk into the wilderness

The sky is dark but for the stars and the moon

Silence all around

The wind wrestles the leaves in the trees

When the night comes

The shadows fall away

With nothing to hear

There is nothing left to fear

I have climbed this mountain to touch the sky

Reaching up above to be closer

Not to a god but a freedom I can’t explain

Only understand as I feel it

Life can be great

If you’re not afraid to walk into the wilderness

We walked away from the jungle and got lost

Forgot how to survive, how to live

Step outside and chase the night

Run until you find the dawn

Then look around

See how far you’ve come

The moon smiles from up above

The stars twinkle as they always have

Climb a mountain to see what you can touch

I have

Sweet Dreams ©©

Sweet dreams are made of these

Memories you never seen

Sweet dreams are made of those

Thoughts you never had

Some of those dreams you wanted

None of them you can touch

Some you had

None you could hold on too

We travel everywhere in a blink of an eye

Imprisoned in a heartbeat

Paralysed

Wandering in a trance

What are we looking for

What are you looking for

What am I looking for

What will it cost

Love me

Hate me

Hurt me

Forget me

Sweet dreams are made of all of these

Sweet desires

Sweet secrets

Sweet dreams to live and die by

Sweet dreams are made of these

Memories you never had

Sweet dreams are made of those

Desires you can’t have

Sweet dreams

Dream Weaver ©©

I was sitting in my room

Staring at four naked walls

Paper peeling to the floor

Dreaming of living in a dream of times gone by

I’m sitting in a room

Staring out a dirty window

There’s knocking at the door

Is it real or a dream from before?

Locked in this room

Paint in my nails

Pushing a door without a handle

Is it a nightmare to fear?

Shackled to the floor

It rolls away from the past

I can’t even turn to run away

What’s on your mind when you’re lost in time?

Is this room my home?

Is it my cell for all those lies that I have told?

Whatever happened to me?

What happened to you?

I’m sitting in this room

Staring at four walls

Dreaming of you

Dreaming of me

Just dreaming

Walker

Lost In My Mind ©©

I sit here lost in time

Void of any thoughts

Disconnected with any memories

Any sense of who am I

I have become blind

Sands of time bleed from empty sockets

Eroding the past

Leaving only crevices behind

I have become deaf

To my needs and yours

To the cries I don’t see

To the pain I don’t feel

I have lost the ability to speak

There is no one to hear

There is no one out there but the shadows

There is no one that cares

Lost in ones mind

Is it a curse or a blessing

Will I find what I am looking for

Or just fade away and never come back

Sitting here

Lost in time

Yeah

The MIst ©©

A thick mist rolls across a naked land

A land scared will a billion heartaches

A billion souls scratching the earth for peace

Watered with oceans of bitter tears and a drop of pity

A thick mist kneels down to the ground

Embracing the passage of time

Caressing yesterday

For the tomorrows that may be or not

A thick mist hides what mustn’t be seen

From light or darkness

Light of day only brings on the shadows

Darkness of night hides them away

A thick mist rides a white stallion across the land

What is it bringing?

Is it love?

Or the four horsemen of the apocalypse

A thick mist silently comes……….

I Don't Know ©©

I don’t know where I have been

I don’t know what I have seen

I don’t know where I’m going

Or where I want to be

I don’t know day from night

I don’t know right from wrong

I don’t know the whys

Or the regrets

I don’t know who I am

I don’t know my face

I don’t know my name

Or do I want to know them

I don’t know god

I don’t know the devil

I don’t know good from bad

Or do I care for any of those things

I don’t know the legions of the day

I don’t know the shadows of the night
I don’t know this realm

Or do I wish to rule 

I don’t know the reason to be here

I don’t see the reason to leave

I don’t see the logic

Or the injustice

I don’t know

Forget It All ©©

If I walked to the top of the world

Will I know the answers to all the questions

Will the answers be the ones I thought they would be

Or something new

If I watch the night sky

Will I find the star that’s meant for me

Will it be big and bright

Or small and fading away

If I was all alone

Will the world be the same

Will it be perfect

Or just another empty soul

If I lay down and reached for the sky

Will I catch a falling star

Will it grant me a wish

Or burn my hand

If I never grew old

Will I still want to get old

Will I want to die

Or just live and live again

If I knew all the answers

Will I want to share them

Will it make us better

Or should they just be forgotten

If I didn’t need anything

Will it be enough

Will it be fulfilling

Or will I want more

If we play…

If we Love…

If we fight…

We will live forever

If…

Whatever Happened ©©

What day is it today

What happened to yesterday

What happened to you

Whatever happened to me

Where did it all got wrong

Was it from the start

The middle

Or the end

Who is that in the mirror

Is it the same person

Or someone new

Where did you go

Old pictures

Memories covered in dust

Hiding forgotten faces

The same face

Whatever happened to you

Filled with fire

Burning with desire

Drowning in a maddening thirst

Did someone steal you away

Replacing your image with this one

Why did you have to go away

Leaving us with this impersonator 

Has time stolen everything

Leaving us with scattered crumbs

Fleeting seconds to be chased

But never caught
