Influenced

A million paices
of yesterdays past
so far away
went so fast
with morning mist
and constant thunder
thoughts fill about way
memories talk
about everyday
tomorrow seems another day
tomorrow may be harder then today
what is life with out death?
what is death with out life?
questions rise and questions ponder
why are our loved ones with us no longer?
why do we care?
Why do we cry?
everybody keeps asking "why?"
shaddows regin
for the prayer of just one more day
remember
whatever you do
where ever youll be
i know you will alwaya
stand by me
and you will never lose me

As I Wait for Fate

they say theres threapy in this
one last kiss, one last wish
as i wait for fate

capturing my memories
rain on the cemetery
as i wait for fate

nice to know you
passing through
as i wait for fate

in the air tonight
can't make it right
as i wait for fate

helpless in the past
why can't you be last?
as i wait for fate

falling down
heavy crown
as i wait for fate

I've said too much
losing my crutch
as i wait for fate

not as strong as i seem
wake me from this dream
as i wait for fate

its the little things
take those wings
as i wait for fate

you always knew
i love you

Would?

Would?

If I just lay here
Would you run away
With me again
If I scream at the sky
Would you stay another day
With me again
If I touch the stars
Would you dance
With me again
If I make it all right
Would you walk through my memories
With me again
If I went back in time
Would you still say "I Do"
With Me Again

Everything's Dead

Everything’s Dead
Maybe find another summer
Maybe find my asshole brother
Downloading the inevitable
So poor nothing edible
Everything’s Dead
Scream out loud for our century
When an is, is an aint
Still searching for that treachery
Or another fake saint
Everything’s dead
Trust you once too many times
Feeding life w/ empty lines
Everything’s red…
Everything’s dead

Just Like You

Just Like You


Here I sit
Among the pit
Get rich quick
Just like you
Its over
Let it pass
Quit hanging onto the past
Just like you
So far
Hanging on
To this truth
Just like you
Second side of the story
I can never be sorry
What happened to Corey?
Just like you
No more chances
As memories keep dancing
As fears keep hatching
Just like you
Go away
let me be
day after day
Just like you
Things remain the same
Time to change my game
I miss the sound of your name
Just like you
Given me everything
But not what I wanted
This eats at me like I’m haunted
Just like you

Got the Life

Got the Life

I am the one who choose the path
Not the one who choose my past
I feel alive after my crash
Cut into my life, finally at last

Last laugh
At me, at mine
I really tried
I did my time
Realized I can't win
Who's to blame?
Lucky I even lived
Who even came?
Failure surrounds me
I feel the anger changing me
Fifteen minutes of fame
Never remember my name
Nothing will be the same
Not even the rain

I am the one who choose the path
Not the one who choose my past
I feel alive after my crash
Cut into my life, finally at last

Rise from the ground
Spinning round and round
Into the clouds
Until I'm underground
Walk away
Falling away
So close to the edge
Hanging from the ledge
Got the life
Straight from a knife
Come see the light
One more night
Come dance with me
Set me free

I am the one who choose the path
Not the one who choose my past
I feel alive after my crash
Cut into my life, finally at last

Something Inside

Something old is something new
When looked at it though you
Another way to please,
another summer breeze.

Wonders of truth
Nothing to lose
Touch of a hand
Freeze this land
Did I just see what I thought I saw?
Just another personal flaw
Three foot inspiration
Opening my lines of communication
Random points of light
Inside evry empty night
Scared and freaking out
Now, never a doubt
Life has changed
W/ one simple name
Took right off
Something inside
Touch him, so soft
Praying to be alive

Something old is something new
When looked at it though you
Another way to please,
another summer breeze.

My Wedding Vows

You make me bold
As ive been sold
You are my lighthouse
When im in a fog
You are my victory
That I wish for every Sunday
You are my dreams
As im engulfed in your beams
You are my angel
I long for your angels song
You are my fight
As I make it right
This is our day
Hope I never wake
You are my light
As I see clearly now
You are my rain
As I dance in it
You are my hope
You are my best half
You are my best friend
You are my love
You are my… everything

Human Evolution

Human Evolution


Your anger is feeding me
My anger is leading me
Into another dimension
Human evolution
Mutating thoughts
Eat my mind
No anti-dote, infected
One of a kind
My memories are bleeding
Women and children
Fleeing
IQ erosion
Mindful implosion
You've made me crazy
History so hazy
Set the charge
Watch it explode
My consciousness
Too large of a load
Terrorists of the past
Who laughs last?
Wishing you could see me
Wishing you could be me
Suicidal thoughts are your key
Homicide to your being
Forgotten time
Frozen past
Sitting there
Body cast

Sugar Suicide

Young and old
At age sixteen
Too much
For a drama queen

Speak till
were blue in the face again
ill shut up
and take it on the chin

6 month live in
no mention of sin
6 month linen
where to begin?

tune my weaker eye
spit right
pray to fly
is this the night?

Sugar sucide
I hope im right
Round again forward
Round again… absurd

6 month live in
no mention of sin
6 month linen
where to begin?

Burn the darkness away
Ill show you the way
Man of many sides
Man of many mines

Watching the commander
This is what Ill give to her
Bleed life, Breathe right
Spead your wings and take flight

Faith

Faith

Darkness of your faith
Throw me away
Who cares of all the yesterdays?
Blame it on, what you will
It's the fame that ca kill
Run away from me, Run away from you
Get safe from me, Get safe from you
Take me to your mothership
Grenades on a friendship
Defining moments of the past
Incinerate what you can
I'll have the last laugh
I never thought you would get away
Fading fast from faith today
A promise is never, Fall forever
Who cares of all the yesterdays?
The truth is a self-distructing faith
When I find my way
I won't wait

Dear Mother,

Dear Mother,

2 wrongs don’t make a right
yet you wonder why we fight
after all this time neither one hasn’t gotten it right
and wont be shinned on by the light

don’t get me wrong
I know ya’ll love me, but for how long?
Look around everyones gone
Family covered in fog

What have I done to deserve this
So many empty wishes
Empty bottles, empty role models, empty kisses
Concrete shoes swimming w/ the fishes

Black sheep
Too deep
Not enough
Too rough

Some people don’t have a choice
Taken away w/out a voice
Take a second to listen
Put yourself in my position

Too far away for tears
Too good for a couple of beers
Pisses me off
Fuck off

Pulled from both sides
Do I swim or do I die
Here I lie…
Didn’t mean to make you cry

Black sheep
Too deep
Not enough
Too rough

Tempers taken off
Taken too soft
Push my buttons one more time
Materalistic lies, penetrating mine


Shelfish bitch
To you Seth seems a glitch
Fairytales have gone goodbye
We’ll never see eye to eye

Wonder why
I never got to hug her
Wonder why
I never got a…
MOTHER

Peer Fear

Peer Fear

Out of the shadows
Out of the woodwork
They will all flow
Through the bellows
Can’t stop what cant be seen
I’d better off mean
Just a little jager
Just a little wager
Lost in a world
Too far from the Rural
Wicked words
Just another nerd
Criticized for his long hair
Stare after stare
7 little sins on your face
It’s a little different
When you’re in his place
Debated, disputed and hated
Face has been faded mostly jaded
Tired of the night
Tired of the light
Too late for "a might or maybe"
Take it to the body
Substance abuse
Looking for a noose
Embracing the dark side
Tired of being tried
Loading up on the past
In this game everyone finishes last
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Like a slaughterhouse lamb.
Yet you wonder why he tried
Yet you keep telling yourself lies…

A Silent Legacy

Heffran – A Silent Legacy

More than a friend, more than a father. Anyone can be a father, but only someone
pure can be a daddy. The natural progression is the coming of age. But sometimes its
covered with shame and built into rage. I always heard every word… just had to try
it my way first. As I pray in my darkness for always to set me free I’m a bound to
your silent legacy. I’ve dug for the answers until my fingers bleed. To satisfy the
hunger or satisfy the need. Memories will always reign true even as the light fades.
Remember what you taught me. Remembering what you sacrificed for me. A sacrifice
so true… so you.

You child… I’m your child… now I have a child…

There were times and things I didn’t want you to see about me. But as I am now the
future looks to gleam. Not happy with myself so I couldn’t put you through it as well.
Call it selfish call it a mercy wish. Certain holes are left open in the past for reasons
not to be explained. Had to find myself among all this wreckage. If I only knew
which direction. The hard way had to be the way, I finally found it one day. As I pray
in my darkness for always to set me free I’m a bound to your silent legacy.

You child… I’m your child… now I have a child…

Certain things will always come to question. Certain things will always come to laugh,
just never let it be the last. "What ifs" and "could be's" will ride free inside a smile in
you and me. For always the wind will blow, the rain will be wet and the light is full of
wonder. I am bound to your silent legacy. Trying to conceal, try to feel as your father
had to set you free. I am bound to your silent legacy.

You child… I’m your child… now I have a child…

I watch him grow. I see me; I know someday he will walk a familiar road. It’s my job
not to let him get cold. Pick him up if he falls. But it’s his decision where to turn when
his backs against the wall. With words of wisdom ringing through my ears. As I learn
the meaning of the golden years. Those questions have answers. Constant reminders
everywhere I turn. Lessons that were finally learned. Now it’s my turn to love, as I do
in every imaginable way. Today is the day.

You child… I’m your child… now I have a child…

Half the man I wish I could be… just to show him your legacy.

Thank you Dad, Love you, Forever and Always – Zachariah Kane

Based on a positive outlook of the song "Silent Legacy" by Melissa Ethridge.

Where I Lay

Where I lay

The shades have been pulled closed
But your eyes still burn me
I know it feels like, this is how it goes
But yet you still yearn me
Where I lay
Ill be your patient
Where I lay
Not a vacation
what will be, will be
never let me free
it could have been anyone
exploding mass confusion
seemed so for away
longing for that day
w/ an un-named song
you and I, I long
as I pledge to the soaking sage
together we will live of old age
wishes and dreams reach for the sun
my life has finally begun
where I lay
this to the many days
where I lay
im banking on this haze

Ah yes I recall my favorite shirt of junior high that states FOOTBALL IS LIFE the rest if just details. Well put in my opinion. I grew up in a Steelers household, and I raise my son in a Steeler household. “I bleed black and gold”, I've used that term too many times as I once heard my Uncle state in to an obnoxious Browns fan in line at Wendy's Hamburger. I grew up in a great football place... N/W Ohio seated in the Pitt vs Clev. games, The “big one” Ohio State vs Mich. (Go Bucks!) and one of the fiercest high school rivalries in the state, my alma matter Maumee vs my Dads alma matter Perrysburg. Through these rivalries and after playing the game myself as a naive young boy I learned many things in this world that can not be taught in the “outside” world. Tradition, Honor, Toughness, Justice and the utter distaste and disgust for the “other guys”. I know coach this wonderful game. I cant leave it, I love every second of any game. The drama, the sights, the sounds, the smells... and of course the hits. The ultimate good vs evil match-up. The ultimate chess match!
