I'm stuck in a hole I wonder whether climbing the wall Is worth it at all I think I'd probably just fall It's hard Even to start If I make it out I may be admired But without a doubt After a while I'll get tired Till I can't go anymore And I fall to the floor One day I hope to hear a tin And these words to ring: "It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again" So I know this is someone else's crazy thing And not just my mind caving in

The Hole
Remember when we were younger Talking about our lives About how we'd be rich About who'd be our wives Fueling the fire Which was built up with lies I thought I wanted tall, Blonde with blue eyes One I could protect Who needed to be held as she cries But I've seen this facade And how it's just lies Because I had feelings For someone with different ties This kind is hard to find Makes you lose control of your mind So different from what you wanted But honestly, you don't mind And once she's found, She's hard to give up The pressure makes you slip up **** up Making her harder and harder to forget Making you do something you regret Like thinking about love If you still think this is about the girl And how "she's so pretty" And "I wish she felt the same" Then you are mistaken It's a completely different game It's the pain you give yourself When you don't know who to blame The frustration from wanting But not having Forever Exhausting Thinking all the same As people who have it worse All because a girl doesn't remember your name How can you be happy When your best quality is shame So yeah you get upset Depressed Anxious too, but that you forget Until you meet another girl Who's into you Like the girl was who will never love you "Why did she leave?" "What did I do wrong?" "How can I fix this?" Becomes your most common song So you forget about the new And you start to lose hope You abuse the new's trust Just so you can cope Till the horse from up high Brings the old down from the sky To you where your hearts start to fly And are strong together without having to try All the way Till the day you die This is when You'll wake up from your dream And understand where you've been When you discover the culprit Of all the pain and everything that comes with it Was you all along Makes you wonder If life's worth all the ****

Walking through the shadows I’m the only spec of colour in the void I can see people are there I can see them talking I can’t see them Silhouettes in the night I walk towards them Hoping their image is shown But the further I walk The farther the shadow stretches I see colour in the distance I know the figures well I love the figures But they talk How? The shadows reply How? I walk closer What? They move with the shadows I run. I run. They go They’re gone with the shadows Lonely spec of colour Left to wonder Lonely spec Wondering Lonely

Lonely
Help me, help me... Who am I talking to? I need help can't you see What do I expect someone to do? The hunters are camouflaged Lonely as a mallard I could try fly Hoping to avoid their eye Or I could just walk Then maybe they won't talk Talk about me And what they think they know This mallard can't fly The pity of its lifeless body Would, in its grave, make it roll It would be brave to fly And Avoid the barrage of bullets But how could it try When that could be it's life Although The mallard is not afraid to die He can't bare the thought of the pity For to fly and die Is many a mallards life But to fly, die and feel the pity from a watchers eye As it lies there Incapable of showing it's ability to fight Is a death of its soul Not just it's life

Open Season
The swamp’s where the wild things wallow Where lies are common and promises are hollow With so many choices who do we follow? Do we vote for an ogre with a shower as a head Or do we vote for the donkey who’s inexperienced instead? This tower we live in Is going to be our eternal grave That knight we’re hoping to win Is just another of the dragons slaves… Tucked away in never never land Is our hidden saving grace We haven’t been banished or lost The fact is that there is no such place Here the gingerbread has knives Prince charming has hives And the cat doesn’t have nine lives Because the cat is dead Locked up in my basement For me to do my black magic with And drink my tonic To end this bubonic So that critters can frolic Free in my mind To plant my seed in time But still know That it will never grow Because there’s something many dont know And that’s I don’t have the ability To create any seed with fertility Therefore my beanstalk has no validity As that golden egg from the goose in the infinity Shows that the goose may be a trinity But to say there’s a golden egg Is just a fallacy…

Once Upon A Truth
I once had a dog His name was Jerry He was so cute So big and so hairy But he died and that’s all I can say Still Life goes on in a mysterious way I once played soccer I had a lot of fun I made so many friends And had a good run But soccer ended with many hopes and dreams I lost all those friends but it’s just another of life’s schemes I once was happy Nothing felt so good But life got real The way that it should I don’t know when I’ll be happy again But I really hope it comes soon I don’t know how much more I can handle But even then It would just end with “I once was” too…

I Once Was...
There was a man named Ty He was a Jack of all trades But like any other average Joe He had his own Achilles’ heel In his mind Elvis had left the building To say he was as happy as Larry Is a big no way, José It was elementary my dear Watson What you have seen is not the real McCoy Alas, poor Ty! You thought you knew him well, Horatio… But now Daniel has come to judgement And the only place Ty would be happy Is down in Davy Jones’ locker…

Name is Mud
Late for everything, Awkward by choice, Zealous for nothing, Yet always tired LAZY I really wish I wasn’t like this But I don’t really have a say of any kind Personally i think its because of depression It’s like a crippling crutch for my mind I try to work hard, I really do I know that it seems like i don’t But you don’t know what I’m going through Getting tired of being tired Waiting for some inspiration to come my way But if some never comes Then, “Oh well” is all I can say Lethargy is something I have And it admittedly it’s getting pretty bad Zebra, zebra, zebra Yes, you just witnessed it first-hand LAZY…
