I do it

I get back up and do it again

I do it

So you don't cry

I do it

So I won't feel like a failure

I do it

Because I love you

I do it

Because I need to love myself

I get back up and do it again

I get back up and do it again

Sun rising on the horizon

I take a deep breath

All this will make sense

I smile and think of you

I smile and think of why I do this

I get back up and do it again

Because of you
Been having some self esteem issues

Tomorrow

I walk by statues
Everything is a reminder
Remembrance
A Memoriam
A burning funeral pyre
All dedicated to you
I know nothing last forever
Tomorrow was never promised
You left a hole deep down in my heart
Tonight my heartaches
I cried for what seemed like forever
As I sat by your side
Watching the light leave your eyes
Brown eyes now a dark black
Tomorrow is never promised
I know you’ll be waiting on the other side.

I miss you

Brother

Oh, Brother
Why I should have been there

I am your protector!
I am your friend!

We are the same blood
I could have helped
I would have helped

Oh, Brother why?

Traveling down these roads
You were never alone in this life

This load was never your own
Id travel the roads of Hell for you!

Oh, Brother
Tell me why
a few years ago I almost lost my little brother to suicide

Ascension

The sun will rise
And in the darkest parts of my mind
They have no control at all
I’ve risen from the ashes, reborn
This misery has no say
Hatred has died from all of this hunger
I’ve made peace with these demons
Rising with the sun
I am claiming my throne
I am a new being
This is my ascension

Last to Laugh

They are the ones who laugh
The puppet masters pulling the strings

Bow down
Accept your fate

The world's coming down
What is this sorted twist of hell?

Don't pray
Just panic

Dive right into the unknown
Just bones stuck in a meat suit

Deceive the masses
To cover their *****

They laugh at our fear
Stand up!

Fall in line!
Pull the strings tighter

Who will be the one
To laugh last?

She remains beautiful as I grow old
Her raven hair flown in and out of
The atmosphere if I wear to die
She would remain immortal.
She is time and space she is
Beauty in its finest form
And I love her in this
Prelude to tragedy.
The words breaking like
The silence, I've waited for
So long for HER to return
The sorrow feels so wrong
When her grimacing smile
Makes me feel so heart felt.
This tragedy is centuries old....
And her roses are all dead.....
The tales are all told...
And she will remain Immortal....
This one when I wrote it I was about 17? 18? This piece went through so many name changes.. Immortal, Ravenna, but Prelude to Tragedy just stuck with me better. I hope you like it.

Rage
Rage

Go into that darkened light

Rage
Rage

Kiss my lips and tell me how to die
Expect us to change
Trapped like a rat in its cage

Rage
Rage

Fight against the dying of the light
Found myself in the shadows
Of Prometheus’s might
***** the candle
Drink from the poisonous well
Listen to the chiming of Deaths bell.

Rage
Rage

Sing the funeral song
Fight against the darkened light
Give us one last fight

Rage
Rage

Against the darkened light
