Wake up in the dark, And see the light, Soon you find, You are fading, Wake up in the dark, And see the light, I didn’t want, To be this way, I guess I’ll just, Run away...

&quot;Said we go to war just to bring us together, I believe in Love, I believe in forever...&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Eyes see everything...&quot; -Devon Torble,<br /> <br /> &quot;Caught up in love&quot;- Joseph M. Lyons,<br /> <br /> &quot;I speak my words, through a broken truth,<br /> ...I bite my lip, and taste its guilt,<br /> I see heaven on the horizon, but I turn my back,<br /> Paradise must wait,<br /> For when it dies,<br /> The truth shall be revealed&hellip;&quot; - Joseph Michael Lyons,<br /> <br /> &quot;Seen through an angel&rsquo;s eyes,<br /> I&rsquo;ve found love where it truly lies,<br /> And when that angel cries,<br /> All my pain slowly dies&hellip;&quot; - Cassandra Burnes and Joseph Lyons

An Eye For An Eye Will Only Make The World Blind<br /> <br /> Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.- Maya Angelou<br /> <br /> Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning. Maya Angelou
