Mostly Literal Openings (1-3)

I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen

It's like I feel my greed shining off me
Making a skeletal shadow behind me
Lust's taking over my blackened heart
I am beginning to forget who I am

I think I'm about to give into the voice
That just will not stay quiet enough
Can you not see it? I will not leave
Instead, I will dance on this dark stage

Kingdoms will fall, kneeling at my feet
The people will call me their Overlord
As they look up to me
When I look to the sky and laugh

I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen
Trying to remember who I used to be

Conviction
Do you have it?
With you, I can
Stand at the very top

Join me at my side,
And lets set down my flag
Showing that I am their ruler now

It was in the middle of spring
When I ran towards your calling voice
I saw you sitting up in a tree
That was when we first met face to face

It was then that I realized
We were still worlds apart
But we would some day be closer

With my hopeful feelings,
I reached towards you
Hoping you would notice
All of the struggles I have when I..
Do everything for you

Such a brilliant mind,
I cannot help but admire
Everything that i see in your heart
But still..

Every word of love,
Seems to fly over your head
As I do everything to show you it

I know you will one day notice my love

Please let the curtains open so that I may tell you a story
Of two boys shoved off into the world

In an open field, the fierce winds blew through my hair
As I reach out to someone I hardly knew

With so many people surrounding me,
I never thought I'd lose so many things in my life
When everything begun to sped up
I never dreamed that I would end up being here

Everything before me that I loved vanished
Even then I didn't know what was ahead
My stroll through life became nothing short of a clumsy stumble

Even before I could fall, someone helped me
To see the countless and varying truths of life
And to see beyond the illusions of this crushed reality

Can't you see that I've gone so far away from my sweet home's embrace?
With nowhere else to go, the rain vanishes
A new day begins its hike

Those far away are still awaiting my return (from fighting sin)
So please send them my message saying thanks
