Give me the sandman’s nighttime sand. For I need some sleep tonight. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night, For I cannot sleep when I stand.

Wishful sleeping
Show me something simple. Off you Liar’s Scheme. Draw me something crazy From a far off dream. Sketch me out a melody Where I can hear the music. Write me down an angry note. So I can get up and lose it. Construct a simple sentence. Which will make me smile. Build me a fabulous bridge For which I’ll walk a mile. Create a mechanic’s heart For the small machine. But only these simple things Come from a Liar’s Scheme.

Liar's Scheme.
Show me a smile. From your crooked tile. Show me a grin That makes me sin. Show me a laugh From your chaos graph. Show me a frown From the saddest clown. Show me rain From the driest shower. Show me courage From the man who cowers. Show me weakness In your strongest time Show me you From your life-long climb.

Show Me Something Special
I feel it rising In the silent room I feel it escaping my throat I don't want it to be revealed. I will stay calm. I feel it coming Up my neck and throat. It's becoming to strong for me It's clawing its way out. My mouth slowly opens And it rushes into the open, empy room. The scream is only heard By the disrupted silence It keeps coming and coming How do I make it stop.

Disrupted Silence.
Why am I not smiling? Why am I not glad? Why am I not laughing At the memories I once had? I realize I won't be happy As I'm standing on my own, I realize my fragile heart, Is now turning into stone. Let me cry my tears Until they dry away Let me change my colors Until I turn 'to grey. Let me scream my screams 'Till they turn 'to songs. Let me tell my truths Until they turn into lies. Let me live my life Until the Day I Die.

Until the Day I Die
I should have seen it coming, The scream that was so well hidden. I looked at you with no emotion I said no words with confidence. The glares you recieved; Did they hurt you? The laughter that shifted at you; Did the tears fall? This is apology is that of which you don't deserve. As you wallowed in self pity, you could have stopped it.

Pity.
Jealousy A silent rage that flows within me It stings and burns on the inside But the outter is not affected. Jealousy Is an act of self destruction Wanting to give up what you once desired, loved, and cared for To have something you don't Actually know you want. I close my eyes and imagine Without Jealousy Without Envy Wouldn't life be easier? To just be happy with what I've got.

Jealousy
I'm sorry That you feel the need to control. I'm sorry That I'm not a pushover. I'm sorry That you left me behind. I'm sorry That you didn't accept me. I'm sorry That I'm not sorry at all.

I'm Sorry
I happened to fall asleep today. The people then had their way. I Woke up to screaming. I woke up to crying. I looked around and saw some dying. It’s only because I happened to fall asleep today.
