as though worlds collide

my soul is restless as though worlds collide
angels and demons switch their sides
the earth no longer has common sense
the flames reach higher, burn more intense

the planets shift, each one in turn
the moon complains, the sun still burns
and while i lay here fast asleep
i scream promises i cannot keep

dreams keep coming and nightmares live
as though my sleep more power gives
i wake in sweat amongst the dead
these aren't the words i thought you said

waiting on a train

i never thought the leaves would change
the sky is real, more real than pain
and as the colors start to merge
the fear becomes a shroud of courage

introspection falls like rain
the leaves and moon begin to wane
worlds collide for just an instant
why are my thoughts so resistant

time goes by, the landscapes blend
the train comes down the track again
i cannot find my soul's refrain
no calming thoughts, no endless rain

my troubled spirits, the leaves demise
dissolve beneath the bitter lies
the end has come, the train is leaving
my heart seems dead but i'm still breathing
