I didn't even know
I was feeling all alone
This heaviness of fear
That you weren't even near
Should have struck me
I knew I should have said goodbye
But we kept on striding by
Knowing there's no future
In you by my side

I kept trying
Thinking that together
You and I could make it better
But we can't make out something out of nothing
I gave you my entire world
While you slammed me out of yours
This was never going to be something more than just a passing

When conversations die
The whispers in the skies
Tell me you're not really by my side
A kiss I once adored
Became empty and so cold
I didn't shed a tear
Once it all became so clear

I kept trying
Thinking that together
You and I could make it better
But we can't make out something out of nothing
I gave you my entire world
While you slammed me out of yours
This was never going to be something more than just a passing

When we finally said goodbye
There was pain across the night
But sensed relieve across the skies
Another failure to endure
Yet I'll make it through once more
At least we're both not secretly unhappy

I knew I lost you
When your behaviors different
As your calls became infrequent
I became indifferent to you
The words you uttered to me
Felt empty, the love you claimed
Felt forced and pained

I don't know why we keep playing...
These game of lies
I'm trying to figure out
Why we still stay...
Is it the promises we made?
I'd rather you walk away.

I knew I had lost you
When you distanced away
When you once told me "we're better off friends"
Then you came running
Talking about working things out with me
When I should have known
There's nothing to work on
*** the love you claim is empty
A mere fantasy you want to play out

I don't know why we keep playing...
This fantasy of love
I'm trying to figure out
Why I still stay...
I don't want to force you to the promises we made
I'd rather we just walk away

You are my smile
You are my bliss
You are the reason for which I live
I chase you down
I seek you out
Of you...I could never get enough

I crave that moment
I can no longer seize
Expecting fruits
From these demons in me
You once gave me courage
Where now, I'm fueled by fear
You feed on my hunger
The hunger to feel you in me

You are my sorrow
You are my pain
You are my scars
I stare at in a daze
You are my calling
You fueled my cries
You bring that rush
From head to spine
Down to my toes
Right through my core
I no longer have control

I crave that moment
I can no longer seize
Expecting fruits
From these demons in me
You once gave me courage
Where now, I'm fueled by fear
You feed on my hunger
The hunger to feel you in me

I love you
I hate you
There's such a thin line
You are the struggle I go through
Everyday and Every night

I was lost and broken
Living in fear
Shamed and shackled
Left without tears
Starved for salvation
This painful desperation
I’m stuck in remorse
Ravaged and torn
I’m begging for hope

When all the doors seem to close in
And the lights start to fade
When the muses stop whispering
That inspiration I crave
When the shadows deceive me
And my reflection displays
A monster, A demon
That’s the man I became

I was dazed and confused
Didn’t know what’s true
Couldn’t see clearly
I was torn in two
My innocence is fighting
But cant break through

As the doors seem to close in
And the lights start to fade
When the muses stop whispering
The inspirations I crave
The shadows deceive me
And my reflection displays
That monster, The demon
The man I became
This is the emotions I went through as I was head deep in my addiction

Every time that I try
For every moment
For every chance
I come so close
But then lose hope
I lose control
I lost the hold of understanding
All these twists
All these turns
This jaded curse
That I've been handed
I've now been blinded...

Within myself
I find it hard to realize...
The wrong I've done
Didn't come without a price
And now i'm paying
With the burden and the guilt inside
This pain has left me without sight

I want to see
I want to breathe
I wanna live
Without it all
Hurting within
So many days
So many hours
So much I've lost
By being blinded

Within myself
I find it hard to realize..
This pain inside is part of everything that I've done
I've lost the hope that kept me going every day and night
Theres no control all this remorse has got me
Blinded....

If I gave you the world
You would throw  it back
Out of spite you'd snap my heart in half
You hold the power…
To storm over my soul
You hold the power
To make me whole

This is what's in store
For the rest of my life
The purity of a love  
That I will never have
My heart chose you…
And it doesn't want another
Even though it knows …
For it, you hold no desire

I always kept guarded
But you broke through these shackles
And left me exposed
To a hellish storm
For this love I hold is the purest of pains
Though I keep fighting for your love
To come through my way

This is what's in store
For the rest of my life
The purity of a love  
That I will never have
My heart chose you…
And it wont give it self to another
Even though it knows…
For it, you hold no desire

Within my desire

Beyond my convictions

I feel I have fallen

Much more that I've risen

With much more at stake now

Yet with little strength

How will I get to the point to ascend?

And to believe my heart will follow

Would show my ignorance is bliss

I must not deceive myself

And dig me deeper into the abyss

For today will be the wakening

Of my ever hurting soul

And in my eyes you all will see

The difference that has come in me

And in my pain

I'll try and be the best person that I can be

With this little strength

And little hope

I will make myself rise once more
