It is all we need
To conquer around us
Peace of mind
To know the meanings
And the questions to which have no answers
Silence is silence
Revealing what is beneath the veil
Is the truth behind the silence
That says it all

Beaten down to nothing
All I ever wanted for love
But instead I received only lust
A tease
A drug that has me addicted
Committing a sin
And a breaking point in friendship

You've left me broken
A disgrace to everyone
An embarassing shame that won't leave
Guilty of a torrid love affair
One that means nothing to me
A cheap thrill to be entetained
And to feel loved
In a distasteful way

Best left unsaid
Whenever in doubt
Shall it offend
Raise eyebrows
Make one wonder
Keep thoughts to yourself
Unless you know how to provoke

When yesterday became today
When ****** was justified
When you disappeared into thin air
Lights dimmed
Only a flame flickering in the wind
When the skies opened
And a horn blew
When last words were not spoken
Memories haunting
Forever eternal
A veil placed over the world
I remember

When the world hushed
Except a shriek of anger
Except endless tears
When the music stopped
But angels sang lullabies
When the flood came and gone
Leaving a barren mind
Helplessness and numbness
When a heart skipped a beat
And life left you
I remember

When your liberator came
When it was time
When the sky turned gray
When the world stopped
I remember

Words ripple through my body
A lifeless corpse begins to rot
Hatred of others did this
No one should suffer this fate
Words ripple through my body
I remember the taunts
Cheered on by mindless taunts
No one should be discriminated against
Especially when there's nothing to be ashamed of

A soft touch
Diamonds in your eyes
Glistening
Shining with love
Near and far
Holding hands in space
Feeling nothing and everything
Knowing love is there
Without physical contact
Hearing your voice
Without speaking
Listening to your actions
To be in your arms
Asking how it feels
Remembering a time smiles were true
Tears were nonexistent
All around the world
I felt you
And your love

Emotions inside
Hurt with every step
Uncertain of the source
Aware of the pain
Sweet misery
Sense of normalcy

Take me to a higher place now
Where the sense of freedom exists
No limitations
No restraints
No longer chained to walls

Enhancement no longer needed
Moving about on my own
Discovering destiny
Where I am in place
Mind and soul

A moving vessel
Crashed and ruined
Beyond human repair

The dance floor belongs to them now
Gazing longingly into each other's eyes
A long passionate kiss
Everlasting love

All the lovers have stayed
To share one last dance
And here I am
Swaying to the music

I am not lonesome
I am dancing to the rhythm
After the lovers have gone
I will reclaim my spot

With fire raging
Mind empty except for the music
After the lovers
The dance floor belongs to me

Forgive me
You left with the wrong impression
Cannot forgive myself
I never hated you
No one could
Never meant to put you off
Should have called you friend
All these thoughts mean nothing
Forgive me
I hate myself more with your untimely passing
Forgive me
For being ignorant of my ways

Hiding
Not a smile in sight
Determined to keep a tough exterior
Tears
Bottled up
Saved for an occasion that shall never exist
Empty shell

Love the world
Know that the pain of the heart is just one day
And when time feels like life is lost
And when the hope in your eyes is broken
And tears are anything but sweet and joyous
When your drunken stupor has left you in the air
Without a tightrope
I am there

Cheap shots
Insecure about yourself
Give your charade up
You lost the game
Your mask is ugly
But it is stuck on you

No words to utter
Mind is blank
Your being was all I ever wanted
Your embrace was all I ever longed for
And I fell for you
But feelings were not mutual
Not reciprocated
Every time we see each other
It is a slow death
Rendered speechless

Hello, hello
Bidding farewell to this world
The golden highway opening
Access to the world I once belonged to
The cold mist lifting the veil
Allowing me to see clearly

Hello, hello
I can finally see the world
And all of its beauty
Looking through the glass
Realizing
I was there all along

I'm the villain in this story
Wreaking havoc across this forsaken place
Manipulating those around me for my own benefit
Without giving a **** about the world

Plagued by once cherished memories
Now a cruel reminder of once was
A figure with shackles
Wailing
Waiting to frighten me
Drag me beneath its cloak
And make haste
To the ghostly realm

A hand covering up the light
The glamour fading into the distance
A shattered mirror
Reflecting lost beauty
A youth forgotten by the sands of time
Blood tainted
Blood shed for mere nothing
A darkened sky
Stars exploding
The glimmer in the sky
Destroyed
Fire consuming
Oxygen dissipating
Breathless
Taking flight into an abyss
Where fiends roam
And light is dark
Traveling in a motionless state
Reaching a destination
In a bed of flowers
Singing in my sleep
The words are fragile
Yet as sharp as a pure diamond

God graced us with your presence
And although it was brief
We were blessed to have you in our life.
Nothing could ever change the joy you brought
The laughter you graced us with
The smiles that brightened our day
Although they are gone
One day we will be reunited.
And even then we will be smiling
Like nothing was ever wrong from the start.
Heaven took its angel
Saying he was needed
But that he would watch over us all.
God sent an angel to protect us
And now that his job is done
He’s watching from Heaven.
Sending us messages in subtle ways
Letting us know everything will be okay.
And although our hearts are breaking on this day
And our world has dimmed a little
The candle flickering in the wind
Know it shall never be put out
And we will never let your memory fade
And your love will never be replaced in our hearts.
One day we will see you again
And the world will be lit up
And we shall laugh and rejoice
Forever in eternity
A delicate flower that swayed in the wind
Wilted for a time
But life has breathed into it a second time
Giving it a second chance at life
But we cannot see it nor feel it
But know that it is there
Invisible but a guiding light
Like a lighthouse guiding ships from their watery graves
An unseen force pushing us to our limits
The sweet aroma leading us to our desires
A hand showing us that life will continue to go on

A cold lonely road I left behind
The journey alone is frightening
Why am I stuck at this crossroad?
I left home to get away from life
Why am I still waiting?
And I pretend to be fine
I am waiting to find a bus
That leads me to anywhere but home
Hiding from a world that showed me no love
Only hatred
Heading somewhere
Anywhere

When true desires are unleashed
I wander through the darkness
Revisiting memories
Running to the door
Where your voice lingered
You are too innocent to be real
I am such a monster to you
Late night conversations
Ending myself, shutting down
From you, from the world
I'm foolish
Lonely and miserable
Still in a cocoon
Never emerging
Waiting to ignite from a spark
The former me departed
Living in the shadows
Trying to find himself
Wanting to attach
But scared of losing
Losing his sanity
All that he holds dear
The freedom of being alone
Wasn't a bold move
The thought of you
Burning an eternal flame

Made of stone
With a heart of gold
A touch so cool
It sent shivers down my spine

Gentle to the sands of time
Holding an hourglass with endless beads
Greatest love of all
Speaking in tongues

A figure lost to you
A mystery to be solved and closed
Never to open again
Hands placing a lock

Keeping it a secret
Eyes closed to prevent the truth seeping out
Slave to no one
Ozymandias, you are free

We've gone forth and back
And back and forth
Why are we doing this again?
We know what will happen
Nothing
Here we are
Together again
Without reason
Without how
So why are we here?
Let's pretend we never met
So we can start again

Say it all
Words leave the tip of our tongues
Into a world of its own
And whispers start
Did they really say that?
Momentarily the world holds its breath
Watches as you speak
Words leaving your fingertips
And onto a screen, a paper
Your thoughts being read aloud
In the mind of another
Interpreted differently
Your words rearranged
Transformed into a different being
With less meaning to you.

Walking home alone
Noticing all the couples holding hands
Smiling and kissing each other
Wonder where I can get that first kiss
Rain comes out of nowhere
They run for cover
Still holding hands
Wet and cold
Shaking and alone
I walk alone

Please stay
A day without love
A day without you
Enshrouded in darkness
Heart turned black
Drowning in alcohol
Standing over the edge
Plunging into the cold river
Drowning in alcohol
Please stay
Ghostly figure
Never leave
Wet clothes, bloodshot eyes
Drowning with you
Lover stay

Lost my chance tonight
To say how I truly feel
Guess who lost the game tonight
Yes it is true
There are unspoken words that I need to say
Before they drown me in fear
Involved with this overactive imagination
Love, love, love
Such a sweet bliss
How it is to love
Another emotion that needs attention
Something I can hardly give
Yet I am willing to give it a chance

They love the leader
Her followers are brainwashed
Loyal to only her
Watch as they leave her one day
And our cold laughter will haunt her
Into a grave she dug a long time ago
Her friends will not welcome her with open arms
Their cold stares a reminder of their resentment
And of their hatred for her
Where are your followers now?

Remember all the promises we swore to
The blood oaths we never took
The secrets we kept hidden from the world
Bound together by our friendship

Remember all the tears we shed
The endless conversations held
Stupidity ruled over us
As we looked at life from another perspective

Remember how we were strangers at first
Growing into friends in a heartbeat
Remember our bonding
Remember us

In your arms once again
The world stops spinning
Close your eyes
With every heartbeat
The moment is everlasting
Glowing, neon lights
Brightening the night sky
Grasp my hand as we float
Higher and higher we go
Part of the cosmos
Light years away
Burning together, a heart's desire
My star will extend
My star illuminating my spirit
My star, braving the elements
My star, smiling from above

Wanting love
Acceptance
To be free of the suffering
Screaming in the dead of night
For the angels to come
Guiding me to a burning light

Chimes sounding off in the wind
Serenity for the sane
Bashing against the wall
Blood stained clothes
Broken limbs, broken hearts
Fragile

Stars shining light years away
Too far
Never reaching those dreams once held
Explosions shattering windows
Hearts collapsing

A night to remember
When the world stopped spinning
And Heaven's gates opened up
Pausing if inferno is an answer
To all the ******

Stillness in time
Hearts ceasing to beat
Proving what I have to accomplish
To please the likes of you

Speaking in tongues
To waves crashing on the shore
Gibberish is all it knows
But our heart understands

Carrying a shimmering light
A beacon of hope to guide
To light the path
Of a darkened road

Feeling lost and all is forgotten
Colors fading to a bleak grey
A voice hoarse
Soul, numbless

The ending of us
Highly inevitable
The ending of the world
Maybe

A thief in the night
Lurking in the dark
Seeking treasure
His reward the prized jewel
Sought out by the lost

You say I'm not the rulemaker
I'm just tired
An old routine
I'm all to used to
Too many sorry's
Not enough from you
The same old pity card
Tired of the same ruse
The same old you
You say we're the ones who hate
Who want you gone
All I want is a little sincerity
A little concern
I'm not the only one

Forever and ever
Traveling in light years
I can see you gliding past me
Like a shooting star
I wish for you to come back
For you to stop
Only to say I love you
But you're traveling
Too fast, too far

Shine on and on
Forever and ever
Visit moons I cannot name
See the cosmos unexplored
Light years have taken you away
To a place I long to be
