What will you gain making your life a little longer?
Heaven or hell, was the journey cold that gave your eyes of steel?
Shelter behind, painting your mind and playing joker
Too frightening to listen to a stranger, too beautiful to put your pride in danger
You’re waiting for someone to understand you
But you’ve got demons in your closet and you’re screaming out to stop it
Saying life’s begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you, grab on to what you scramble for
Don’t let the tears linger on inside now, cause it’s sure time you gained control
If I can help you, if I can help you, If I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
All through the night as you lie awake and hold yourself so tight
What do you need, a second-hand-movie-star to tend you?
I, as a boy, I believed the saying the cure for pain was love
How would it be if you could see the world through my eyes?
Too frightening - the fires are getting colder,
Too beautiful - to think you’re getting older
You’re looking for someone to give an answer
But what you see is just illusion, you’re surrounded by confusion
Saying life has begun to cheat you, friends are out to beat you
Grab on to what you can scramble for, don’t let the tears linger on inside now
Cause it’s sure time you gained control!
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Well, let me show you the nearest signpost, to get your heart back on the road
If I can help you, if I can help you, if I can help you, just let me know
Cause you know I wanna know you! I wanna know you! Well let me know you!
Please let me know you, please let me know you
I wanna feel you, I wanna touch you, please let me near you
Can you hear what I’m saying?
Well I’m hoping, I’m dreaming, I’m praying,
I know what you’re thinking, see what you’re seeing, never ever let yourself go
Hold yourself down, hold yourself down, why do you hold yourself down ?
Why don’t you listen, you can trust me,
There’s a place I know the way to a place
There is need to feel you, feel that you’re alone
Can you hear me, I know exactly what you’re feeling
Cause all your troubles are within you
So begin to see that I’m just bleeding too
Love me, love you, loving is the way to help me, help you
Why must we be so cool, oh so cool?
Oh, we’re such damn fools...
(Supertramp / Crime of the Century)

FAR FROM THE DARK
BY JEREMY GOULD
Here I am
spitting in the face of adversity
There you go
closing the door on our destiny
Sat up all night
as my mind swelled up with fear
I was alone again
with nothing to stop the tears
I walked outside
as the moon rose
The night became foggy
Silence as I froze
Life's my partner
My partner in crime
But with every thought of you
I wish to die
Lived through hardships galore
Searching for the slightest spark
Trying to get closer to the light
Just to be far from the dark

Love
Sweet love
You found me
Replaced misery with joy
Erased pain flying away forever
Never returning to my body
No more deadly sins
Gone for good
Thank you
Love
Love
Jealous love
I feel empty
Her eyes looking away
She's finding some other heart
She thinks it's more valuable
I wasn't good enough
She left me
But why
Love?
Love
Greedy love
You left me
Alone in the rain
To comfort someone else's fear
You took everything with you
Brought back the pain
Now I cry
Fuck you
Love

There I was, sitting in my room
contemplating life's cruel jokes
when the phone startled me from my trance
Yet another fantasy broken
But I was glad to hear from you
in your time of sheer distress
I've been so upset with your troubles
Your voice was such a quiet caress
You began to apologize
for mistakes not your own
I helped nurture your mind
You gave me everything from your soul
I invited you over to chat
A request you graciously accepted
So we had a few beers
That night could have never ended
But when it seemed we had enough
and the sun began to rise
We both knew we could not go back
Our feelings we could not disguise
That night was our night
and nothing will take that away
Locked together in eternal harmony
We talked through the night, and then you stayed
You, my good friend, my best friend
always played
I asked for your hand
and then you stayed
contemplating life's cruel jokes
when the phone startled me from my trance
Yet another fantasy broken
But I was glad to hear from you
in your time of sheer distress
I've been so upset with your troubles
Your voice was such a quiet caress
You began to apologize

and nothing will take that away
Locked together in eternal harmony
We talked through the night, and then you stayed
You, my good friend, my best friend

I asked for your hand

When you think of paradise what do you see?
A land of beauty surrounded by sea?
A lovely forest drowning in green?
Flowers as far as the eyes can see?
Everyone's got a different idea; a different view
What does paradise look like to you?
Do you see it wherever you go?
Don't you have a happy place?
To bring forth a smile upon your face?
I had this illusion once
I had my place to be
when things got too crowded here
I had a taste of it all to myself
and I spit it right back out
Paradise
It sounds nice
But what happens when you arrive
and things aren't like they're supposed to be?
A land of beauty surrounded by sea?
A lovely forest drowning in green?
Flowers as far as the eyes can see?
Everyone's got a different idea; a different view
What does paradise look like to you?
Do you see it wherever you go?
Don't you have a happy place?
To bring forth a smile upon your face?
I had this illusion once
I had my place to be
when things got too crowded here
I had a taste of it all to myself
and I spit it right back out
Paradise
It sounds nice
But what happens when you arrive
and things aren't like they're supposed to be?
My day begins when the sun ends
I rise from my grave seeking prey
Love on my mind
Death on my breath
The taste of you won't go away
Through the window I sneak
Perhaps just a peek
But this hunger rages inside
It's you I can't deny
Blending gracefully with the night
My bloodshot eyes target your soul
Crosshairs aimed
On my list: the devil's kiss
To grasp your heart is my true goal
I approach from above
To become drunk on your love
'Cause this hunger rages inside
It's you I can't deny
I soar like a vulture through the air
Circling your corpse lying below me
I accept your offer
A flood of blood
As my fangs sink deeply into your dreams
Come inside my dear
You've nothing to fear
Our hunger becomes one
Together we'll live forever
I rise from my grave seeking prey
Love on my mind
Death on my breath
The taste of you won't go away
Through the window I sneak
Perhaps just a peek
But this hunger rages inside
It's you I can't deny
Blending gracefully with the night
My bloodshot eyes target your soul
Crosshairs aimed
On my list: the devil's kiss
To grasp your heart is my true goal
I approach from above
To become drunk on your love
'Cause this hunger rages inside
It's you I can't deny
I soar like a vulture through the air
Circling your corpse lying below me
I accept your offer
A flood of blood
As my fangs sink deeply into your dreams
Come inside my dear
You've nothing to fear
Our hunger becomes one
Together we'll live forever
by: Charles Baudelaire
AM as lovely as a dream in stone,
And this my heart where each finds death in turn,
Inspires the poet with a love as lone
As clay eternal and as taciturn.
Swan-white of heart, a sphinx no mortal knows,
My throne is in the heaven's azure deep;
I hate all movements that disturb my pose,
I smile not ever, neither do I weep.
Before my monumental attitudes,
That breathe a soul into the plastic arts,
My poets pray in austere studious moods,
For I, to fold enchantment round their hearts,
Have pools of light where beauty flames and dies,
The placid mirrors of my luminous eyes.
