At Arms Length.

Keeping distance, avoidance,

None transference, 

Pain kept in, issues mine, none

should pay that

price, 

Transference, none, however

long it takes, 

Issues, dealt, masks hidden

face, to be human

it fakes, 

Praying, no more for

all their sake, 

Yearning, attracted, resistance,

shakes, 

Pain, abundance, wishing

it for none, so no one else

would pay the 

price, 

Torn heart broken, plastic

smile, facade so

nice...

Saboteur.

Candid fire, rapture
spire,
Bitching choir, preaching,

Nectar worth while, just
for reprieve for a
while,
To continue on in plastic
smile,
Just another mile,

You think its' bad all
around,
Beatin to the ground,
Everyone hears the
whining.. Just
drown,

Trading pain for a little
pleasure,
Never mind the weight
and measure,
Just to numb a little
more,

Nevermind the growing
sore,
At some point we'll
settle the score,

Eye to eye, facing the
lie,
So embrace and die,
Me against Myself and
I...

Bar the Door Geoffrey.

Bar the door Geoffrey,
Don't let them in,
Its' my cross to bear, don't
cry within,

Stand on your feet
again and mind the way
back home,
Let me take the pain
away somewhere far to
roam,

Bar the door Geoffrey,
Mind the eye away from
here,
Holding tight I stand alone
and take away that
tear,

Mind ahead, steady, and
walk your way
well,
I will keep the pain away and
sit alone in
Hell,

Bar the door Geoffrey,
it was never your sin to keep,
Give it to me son, never
again to weep,

The realization in your eye
makes my heart so
sad,
To realize, without a doubt,
you're just like your Dad,

Bar the door Geoffrey, keep
that far away,
Live life in your own way...
