im sick,
burn my wick,
so that it will end,
then we can pretend,
that i was never really here,
and no one will try and hold me dear,
because the pain is far to much to take,
and its adventually going to make me break,
this is all far to much for one man to hold alone,
i think its going to adventually rip right down to the bone,
so take me far away from the place called home that i hate,
because the wick is all burned up and everything is far too late

who is it in the mirror that i see,
the one staring back at me?
the monster

who is the one inside my mind,
controling my movements at all times?
the demon

whats left of the lost ones soul,
the one who got left in the deep hole?
the darkness

where do you go when no ones left,
when everyone decided you were a waste of breath?
hell

feel the lie
feel the hunger
feel the truth
thats gone away

tell a lie
to fill your hunger
as the truth
falls away

The party has begun
and the faces are covered
the mask hiding truth
and eyes showing reality

those unknown circle together
as the music continues
and strangers mingle
under false references

yet there is one without a mask
the truth open for all to see
nothing to hide
and eryone stares

this man who is different
he is not accepted
those who are hidden rebel
and the one who shows the truth is lost

i remember there was i time where i ment nothing,
just like the people that saw me bluffing
nothing mattered
nothing would change
everything seemed usless in my fucked up brain

then finally life took a turn for the better
and i was always the one in the center
i was loved
and people cared
but then i fell back down the stairs

again i was the one that no one could see
the person that im really ment to be, everything lost
my cards on the floor
no one to notice if i walk out the door

Dec 24, 2011

i sit alone
the empty room
dark and deserted
no one to see
no one to hear
all is lost
nothing is to be found

my only friend
my thoughts
but what i truley fear
is all thats to be said
by the mind left alone

a noise is heard
the next room another is found
sitting alone
just like i
scared of the darkness

i realize im not alone
for all those who are the same
we are together
we are one
we are Among the Unknown

I feel the love that burns in my heart
but the hatred has been there from the start
slowly burning away my soul
turning it into the darkest of holes

holding you close by the burning fire
opens up the gateway to desire
and the anger that thrashes inside my eyes
shows the truth of whats inside

thinking that this is all ment to be,
not seeing the lies of whats really to see,
the demon inside that breaks away
steals all the love inside me today,

the lies growing into truth
taking away all of my youth,
it all happens quickly without making a sound
for where there is love, hate can be found

Dec 12, 2011

you think you can throw your life away
without caring what others have to say,
dont take your final breath
because your all that i have left,

you take the last supper way to far
for thats the reason that i have these scars,
im begging you to open your eyes today
and at least see that i can be a reason to stay,

dont pretend like you dont know
that this isnt how it should go,
because i cant live with that as the truth
and the fires burning to the end of the fuse..

nightmares turn to truth
scars become reality
memories are reborn

a quick flash of a blade
stumbles away
blocking by the mind

truth shows itself
scars turn to wounds
time is reversed

red rubbies drip again
the mind is open
life is revealed

Waiting in the park
A quiet night
Revenge will be carried out

"Good evening, Doctor,"
Grief took hold,
I extract my gun,

The shot rang out,
Water turned red,
The deed was done,

I saw my gun,
I pulled the trigger,
"See you soon, my love."

i cant even try
now that you've bled me dry
so i can no longer move on
from everything thats gone

the sharp knife in my hand
to make the final stand
and take away all the pain
that falls in the rain

show the deamons that have come
that im ready for my final song
when the words no longer make a rhyme
and stand still this final time

how can you see my fate
when you cant stop your own
cuz its in this final state
that i am left alone

now that i see the light
for the final time
i finally lose my sight
unable to shine

Life flashes through your very eyes,
when all thats left is pain inside,
so i close the door the last time today,
and leave this town, walking away,

when all youve ever done is lie,
how can i tell whats real inside,
as you constantly hide the truth,
as it drains out my youth,

i can see that it will never change,
for things have never felt so strange,
as i walk to the darkness with head held high,
and all i can do is close my eyes

Nov 18, 2011

you tell me to let you know when i care,
but your the one who always glares,
you think yout the only one that sees,
that we aren't really ment to be,

stop lying to me and lying to yourself,
because your pictures no longer on my shelf
or my phone no matter how much you mean to me
I just wish I could erase you from memory

how can you breath with no air
when life is only despair
all i can feel is the pain
and it matches all the shame

the blood dripping away
as i cut through my veins
without the voice of reason
and no changes of the season

how can you rip me apart
when all i get is the start

just bring me away
from the shit that has stayed
and the lives that arn't free
just aren't ment to be

the shame thats washing me away
stops hope from coming to stay
and i can no longer feel
anything that is real

all that you say is lies
as you rip out everything inside
and life is going dark
so why not just shoot the mark

how can you rip me apart
when all I get is the start
and my life is going down
so i can no longer turn this around

just bring me away
from the shit that has stayed
and the lives that arnt free
just arnt ment to be

im done with all this shit you bring
and im finally sick of all these things
all you do is turn me away
and yet you expect me to stay
