Lost Key
I have imprisoned myself, in my life; Punishing my soul, by my own strife. I disappear, and no one cares; No one loves me, don’t even dare. I put myself in here, and lost the key; Now I can’t get out, I can’t break free. Within here, I am stuck and I fell; Locked inside my own personal hell. It’s my own fault, that I am here; No one to blame, but me. My mind is my...

The Sea Spider
The Spider sat by the sea; and wondered, what could be. If she only had a boat; then away she would float. Carefree, drifting with ease; spinning webs in the breeze. When the boat came to rest; she would build a nest. She would lay her young; and sail off into the sun. She slowly closed her eyes; then laid down and died. Along came a wave; that took her to her grave. Now she...

Life's Little Experiment
Looking through a microscope; I begin to see it all. Offering us false hope; Or, is it just withdrawal? How would you cope; If you were the experiment, And the scientists destroyed us all? Looking through a telescope; I understand it all. If you’ll read the circles; Then you’ll hear their call. The scientists ride upon their wheels; Proving we are small. ~greyeyesgabriel...

Smith County Freedom
Behind these bars, I cannot sleep; Only now, your memory I keep. Counting time by days, not hours; Not minutes, not seconds, not even showers. I see no stars, I see no moon; Hoping only, to return home soon. Somewhere deep inside, I feel to shout; Twisting and pulling my insides out. Nothing soft, just stone and steel; Cold and hard, blood to spill. My mind, it runs to be outside; ...

Perforation Of World
Separated by boundaries; Lines we cannot see. There on the map; Dotted around Tennessee. Perforation of the world; Is what they want to be. Kept apart by lines on paper; Because together, we’d be free. ~greyeyesgabriel 1996

The Troll Bridge
The Troll lived under the bridge, where he drew his blood. The Troll lived under the bridge, way down there in the mud. The Troll came out at night, for he’d burn up in the sun. The Troll came out at night, to have his wicked fun. The Troll lived under the bridge, ashamed of the lies he told. The Troll lived under the bridge, because of the life he chose. ~greyeyesgabriel 2006

Insane Nation
Remember with me; If you will, To when we were free; Before, we came to steal. Fleeing persecution; To live with no law, Too busy with evolution; To see ourselves fall. Running as fast as we can; To escape our great demise, Becoming All-American; Covering our past with lies. What a great web we wove; So great it covers the earth, Tangled terribly in the grove; The insanity started...

Lost
Destroying my dreams, Surrounded by nothing, But screams.Fading deep inside, Becoming among them lost, Shattered under my pride. Undoing who I used to be, No more lies, To tell to me. Running away from myself, Escaping from the pain, Putting my dreams on the shelf. What I’ve lost, I can not find, It fell far away from me, And slipped out of my mind. ~greyeyesgabriel 2005
