Take my heart, no rip it out
Walk on me til I scream and shout
Don’t let me see stars in your eye
Can’t fall in love, I’ll make you cry
Fight with me, Terror wishes fulfilled
Can’t handle much more, once more grilled
Cast me in fire, watch my soul burn
As the anger continues, the world churn
I’m still in stiches because of you
For with all of our hatred there’s nothing to do
Fight for the Right, the right to be free
Fight for destruction, for the end of Me
You grab and you take, molest all in sight
For fear you celibrate, dance all through the night
And screaming for pity, will do no avail
Seduce them aboard, then take them to Hell
For sure I am better, I quicken my wit
In the depth of destruction, I move quick
And all of the sides will come crashing down
The fight continues on the debris filled ground
I’m still in stiches because of you
For with all of our Love there’s nothing to do
Our fear of approval, our fear of emotion
With no system of touch, the plan is in motion
But I’m still in stiches because of you
For you’d sewn me together and I came unglued.

Standing in the Darkness
There’s a shadow on the wall,
There’s screaming in the hall.
And up until just a moment ago,
Something I was supposed to know.
Standing in the Darkness.
My actions violent my words full of hate,
Caught in a prison I have to escape.
I wonder if things were ever clear,
Now that I am standing here.
Standing in the Darkness.
Wait for the Dark to envelope me,
Emotions gone and too blind to see.
There’s no dream no reason to rhyme,
For deep in the darkness there is no time.
Standing in the Darkness.
Eyes clouded over I hear a dark call,
The world around me has started to fall.
The entrance sealed shut from when I came in,
No key to the door, unless it’s a sin.
Standing in the Darkness.
My world has collided and smashed to the ground,
Fear, desperation, hate, anger, all without sound.
As the feelings I had seep somewhere outside,
I pay with my life for this dark, dark ride.
Standing in the Darkness.

Sooner or Later
You say my words are deceiving,
And I have no plan of leaving.
I tell you my life is a wreck,
Because sooner or later you check.
I sing a song of love so true,
Sung only the words for you.
Of how we were always meant to be,
Because sooner or later you look to see.
I show you the stars in my eyes,
I tell you not to listen to their lies.
I give you much more than you can bare,
Because sooner or later you long to share.
I flirt with you in victorious way,
Condemning you to a life of Stay.
And while in a corner you are shoved,
Because sooner or later you show me love.

Sometimes…
The streets are empty, there’s nobody home,
The night is falling, alone I will roam.
I’m miles away from my family, got no friend,
This Life’s kicking me around, there is no End.
I glance at the stars, they’re shining bright,
There’s something in the air that’ll make it alright.
And you and me, we’ll make it through somehow,
The reason they hate us, we refused to Bow.
(Sometimes I feel like we’re all we’ve got,
Through all the battles that we have fought.
And it seems to me, you’re still the one,
Who stood by me, you are my Sun.)
It’s a lonely road I travel down today,
My traveling companion hasn’t much to say.
Out of the corner of my eye I see us play,
Some scene from our once younger day.
We’ve lost the effort, we’ve lost great time,
You can’t backtrack, it’s too hard a climb.
Stand in this space, we can resume where we were,
It takes little time to correct the blurs.
(chorus)

Someday
What is going on in here,
Why are my problems all but clear?
What is going on inside,
Why all the lies I’ve lied.
I want to be alone, inside myself,
But it wont happen, live in pelf.
Why do I have to force me to be,
Social and acceptable, see?
Why does it even matter now?
What triggered this and how?
Is it the suicide attempt,
Or because my life’s unkempt?
Why is it I want no help now?
Why do my friends have a cow?
I’m constantly changing anyway,
Maybe they’ll realize that someday.

Single
A single song, a single kiss
Who would’ve thought that I’d have missed.
That single song that moved my heart,
That single kiss that tore me apart.
You never know how lonely it seems,
Till you stare at your shattered dreams.
The dreams you thought they would come true,
But deep inside you really knew.
There was no way for it to be,
There was no one that could foresee.
And as that life goes passing by,
You wave to it and slowly sigh.
Farewell my life, my love to be,
Farewell the dreams that could not be.
Farewell the song that stole my heart,
Farewell the kiss that tore me apart.
For I will make another start,
And I will make another heart.
For a new song, and a new kiss,
And hope it turns out better than this.

And Still The Silence Draws On
An empty void, a thousand people can not fill,
A quickened pain, that for a cure there is no pill.
A deep chill, to the bone for which no one can warm,
Aloneness so absolute, even among this swarm.
And still the silence draws on,
Until the wintered dawn.
Will they find me frozen here,
From the dampness of this chill?
A loss so costly, that no money can pay the bill,
A hunger so great, that it can never have it’s fill.
A look so lost, that it may never find a way,
aloneness so absolute, though there is a place to stay.
And still the silence draws on,
Until the wintered dawn.
Will they find me frozen here,
From the dampness of this chill?
Though my friends are many, and emotions deep and wide,
And in my silent solitude, I do run and hide.
Oh the feel of worthlessness, bitter and complete,
Aloneness so absolute, I only hear my heart beat.
And still the silence draws on,
Until the wintered dawn.
Will they find me frozen here,
From the dampness of this chill?

She Leapt
She lay bereft of human feeling, deep inside the night,
Her heart lay broken, glittering shards, losing the fight.
Did he ever notice? Did he ever mourn?
Did he ever care for her? will he yet this morn?
Had not her eye cast upon, the ring as still she wept,
Then perhaps this tale could go on, but this is where she leapt.
The sorrow that collided, from this still ring of gold,
Was passed on undecided, to the next of kin and sold.
I have it here within my hand, the cause of her demise,
And i know that without me, her story would not rise.
So here’s to Love, oh parted one, here’s to blessings’ stage,
For once you had a heart, now you are words on a page.

She
The dreams flow on to the paper,
The dreams she would not have.
The dreams she would’ve had later,
If she didn’t end up on a slab.
The cries flow on to the letter,
The letter she was writing,
The letter said she’d be better,
If she had continued living.
The lives she shattered on to the floor,
The lives she always touched,
The lives would have been so much more,
If she had thought so much.
The sorrow she felt as she died,
The sorrow she had to end,
The sorrow was the reason she died,
If only she’d had a friend.

The Shadows of Yesterday
Why can’t sometimes the world slip away,
In the meaning of a bright new day,
Why can’t I ever seem to shake,
The shadows of yesterday caught in my wake?
How could it be, so seeped in Silence,
When I turn my ways to violence.
And I think that it will change,
But everything’s always so disarranged.
I turn my faith up to the Lord,
But am I faithful as the Adored?
Lest I slip and fall and hit the rock,
The shadows of yesterday, they do stalk.
So now who am I, Where do I lead,
As I glance at my trusty steed.
What do I do, how can I be,
What I know is deep inside of me.
I still stand here in confusion’s steep,
Wondering why is my life so bleak.
When does it end, the pain so hard,
How much more till I play that card.
I stand by myself, to see it all,
It’s hard to face up to this withdrawal.
I am who I am, I want what I need,
But the shadows of yesterday do perceive.
I reach for the light beyond glitters of Hate,
I run towards it before it’s too late.
And I scream and I cry with my tortured soul,
I beg and I try to keep my control.
But can someone tell me, how far I must go,
So I can achieve my ultimate goal.
