Beauty In Silence

silence fills the air
no words are spoken
nothing is questioned
everything is answered

beauty in silence
beauty in love
mentally - spiritually
forever changed

we are as one
on the same page
physically - emotionally
silence fills the air

Senses

power in numbers
ever changing the thoughts of idle minds
promiscuous tides flowing freely
it is what we see as well as what we cant
four times through, pain in each
sense is lost,
numb, nowhere to go
pillaging for those who cant
back of the line, same as the front
sense is lost
a cannon shot in to the dark night
sense is lost
bombs dropped over helpless lives
sense is lost
held hostage to beliefs in fear
sense is lost
where does hope come from
situations like these
find
seek
hide
hope
wait
listen
heat and jaw in hand
not what we expected
a twist
a turn
a light
a sense
what was lost now has a possibility of being found
in a darkened room where you least expect
head rushes with confusion
as we try to solve unresolved problems
have we found it?
will we ever find the solutions to these problems
which we have struggled with for so long.
possibly, yes
quite possibly
sense will be lost
sense is lost
sense was lost
sense will be found
sense is found
sense was found
resolution was key
resolution is key
resolution will be key
resolution is key

Collective Conscience

collective conscience
all in the same boat
i'm nauseous
feelings of remorse
and i'm on the wrong course
following the roots
yet another pair of black boots
moving backwards
going faster
dealing out of the wrong cards
going nowhere
moving backwards
moving forwards
i'm just listening to my teachers
and now i'm listening
he had my ladder
my teachers lead me
nowhere

Less Talk More Rock

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought i'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I don't care if you are singing, screaming or just yelling

no one cares about what you know
they all paid money to see a show
don't you think you should impress some girls your age
but you wont do that with your banter onstage

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

yeah sure you can talk watch for how long
cause i've seen bands talk more than play songs
and i know why you think you're so funny
cause you're doing nothing and taking peoples money

I don't care what you like and i don't care what you hate
I just thought i'd see some music for the going rate
if its not what your buying then it's what you're selling
I just want to hear you play for the cash that i'm shelling

if you've had enough
of those who think they're tough
i really want to hear you say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

talk is cheap
but the tickets not
those who paid to get in say
LESS TALK MORE ROCK

IF ITS TOO LOUD
THEN YOU'RE TOO OLD

Rats

it's gnawing at your feet
make mistakes and just repeat
every line i should have seen
can't wash my hands and make them clean

i know the type who play the act
young and fragile avoid the fact
that somethings wrong and can not see
what is true and right in me

by the look in your eyes you're not like them
you look at me, as should a friend
i hope that you didn't sign the pact
and fall by the ways of the rat

i remember the days when words meant something
and when truth would come with the words that we bring
times have changed and its hard for me
to keep up and understand how you see

if only you knew what to me you mean
and before this time that you had seen
that i know that you are not like this
let truth be seen and haters hiss

by the look in your eyes you're not like them
you look at me, as should a friend
i hope that you didn't sign the pact
and fall by the ways of the rat

A Short Song by Rory T. Nolan

how many basement shows
do i have to sit through
til i figure out its you
youre still cute
and no matter how many
seas and states
lie between me and you
its still you
and youre still cute

Don't Look Down!

i got this pain in my chest and its making me sick
its crawling beneath my skin, and i just can't itch
lingering forever i fear it wont just go away
now all i wonder is how long it's going to stay

its spinning through my head and i'm starting to spin
my hearts fighting a battle that it just cant win
my feet are week and it is affecting my speech
i'm searching for something that i just can't reach

just get get get get get me out of here
i'm hearing everything, but nothing that i want to hear
you think i'd know something now, after all these years
just get, get me out of here

my head is pounding and i don't know what to do
this isn't a feeling that is very new
one of these days i'll leave it behind
and hopefully it will stop eating my mind

just let me stop and take it in
will i be the one to win
we'll shut it up, not look behind
and let me clear my gentile mind

just get get get get get me out of here
i'm hearing everything, but nothing that i want to hear
you think i'd know something now, after all these years
just get, get me out of here

just let me stop and take it in
will i be the one to win
we'll shut it up, not look behind
and let me clear my gentile mind
