Wearing Me Down

I can't save you, I can't hold your hand
Check yourself and stand
Don't exhaust my emotions, don't exhaust my mind
Check yourself and get out of line
Life won't come to you, problems don't dissolve
I can't be your every answer, your problems aren't mine to solve
You can't need me every hour of the day, you are wearing my thread thin
I can't be your every answer, your answers lie within

Lonely Man

I saw you walk by him
I saw you spit in his eye
I heard him cry out for help
And I watched you let him die
His eyes went cold and grey
His life passing on
All he wanted was a meal
And you did him such wrong

Steelehand

There is something about you that I fear
Will you suck me in?
Will you latch to drag me down?
I feel you're contagious
Like a widespread disease
Your eyes feel toxic
My skin turns green
With your claws in, gasping
No air, no air
Will you deflate my lungs?
Injure my life
Injure my will
I want to run from you
How can they linger?
Don't they feel your iron?
They have become immune

There is something about you that made me run
But I ran like hell
I've been steady running
Toward your twisted destination
Your suffocation made me want
When you stifled, I grew strong
Those claws, permanence desired
I tore them out and you made me run
But I ran like hell and won't look back
I sucked out your poison
Many years your hand was heavy
So many years you made me cry
But I ran like hell
And I ran like hell
Your steele is over
And all I see is gold

Your Beautiful Soul 3-10-11

A light and a life you were to our hearts, we wept when we were torn apart
Your beautiful soul has traveled on to a place of His art
Yet I still sit and hope to catch your powdery scent and weep not

En recuerdos I think of you
En recuerdos I cry
En recuerdos I imagine your soft hands
En recuerdos I want you alive

Your vessel was not large enough to contain your loving grace
It would not leave your side, so it glowed, resting on your face
An aura love, acceptance and faith, it calmed our hearts in life's rough race

En recuerdos I think of you
En recuerdos I cry
En recuerdos I imagine your soft hands
En recuerdos I want you alive

We mourn for our Matriarch, we mourn for our great loss
