Peel away my skin Until you show just bone Reveal what lays within The essence of alone Scars they never disappear Bruises though they heal Always I'm consumed by fear My nightmares are so real Drift into the unknown As my final sleep begins I've played the cards, the dice are thrown Forgive me all my sins

My beautiful suicide Written in the stars Tired of hiding bruises Unhealed septic scars Tranquillity is calling At last I’ll be at peace Solution finalised Time for breath to cease Remember all my yesterday’s Laughter plus the tears Running for my destiny For more than fifty years

Beautiful
My suffocated emotions My numb and tortured soul Constricted by the ties that bind They keep you in control The journeys end has faded Disappeared from view I'm nothing now Obsolete All because of you

Obsolete
In this sorrow filled existence Mocked by memories that bind I'll pray for some forgiveness From loved ones left behind In the supposed safety of deepest sleep The monsters come to play Invisible tears and a silent weep As I fail to run away On my thoughts they feast My bones begin to crack Life becomes extinguished As I fade to black.

Fade to Black
Stagnating pools of indecision Blight my every day Silhouettes of phantoms Never go away Romantic heroes upon white steeds Always out of reach Primordial demons surround me On my thoughts they leech Sanity lies at the horizons edge Warped by broken dreams In this dark nirvana Nothing’s what it seems

Fractured
Your son is dead they said I remember little more Until waking naked, freezing, foetal on the kitchen floor No tear's came no primal scream A living nightmare a waking dream Last breath taken at four years old Eyes closed, lips blue his skin was icy cold Years have passed I still feel pain from the worst day of my life Even simple memories open wounds like the sharpest knife.

They Said
Your emotional insecurity is none of my concern An unrequited love on life’s funeral pyre does burn A thousands dreams over a hundred days led to our demise Restrained and so constricted an epitaph to your lies A once bright sun has died and turned a blackest black The remnants of my sanity has begun to crack Silent screams echo in the recesses of your mind Fragments of remembering’s of a love you left behind The banality of my existence on show for all to see Destiny sings it’s hallowed song I ache to be set free

Emotional Insecurity
Falling down the Rabbit hole, where monsters become real Red pill, Blue pill, any pill to make me feel real Deeper, darker I fall into depressions pit No respite, just pools of blood from the wrists I’ve slit Desperation, no elation as I pray for some release Situation critical as I struggle to find peace With death comes freedom and no more pain My passing proves the monster has been slain

Down the Rabbit Hole
Reflect my imperfection Cracks in my soul revealed Devoid of all direction The past is never healed Living in a vacuum Crying without tears My fracture mind becomes a tomb Imprisoned for all my years Escape my tortured reality Absolve the sins of you Yearning for a time I’m free I know what I need to do Slowly fall asleep All my pain is gone Memories are yours to keep I’ve no strength left to run
