Every morning I close my eyes,
And every night I open them.
Every time when thunder strikes,
I feel completely overwhelmed.

There is something inside of me,
Which brings me near to death.
There is something in my mind,
Which does not make me feel so well.
My body aches,
And the pain ever grows.
What I feel,
Nobody knows.

The story from life to death,
Stops for a while.
Now, I am neither dead nor alive,
I wish I could again be a stubborn child.
I cry in pain,
For I know the end is near.
I pray for death to take me away,
For it is life that I fear.

On the shore he perches daily,
body wrecked and curled.
Through his hand
there streams some sand,
drawn down unto the world.

As twilight sinks, he gives a wistful
glance toward the sky,
as tales and tears
of eighty years
still now adorn his eye.

Soon he picks himself on up, and
shuffles west, forlorn,
and no one knows
quite where he goes -
he's always back by morn.

He's seen a lot and lived his years
defined by time's demands,
and with regret,
like sand, he's let
his life slip through his hands.

So on the shore he perches daily,
fingers fixed, unfurled,
and for his bruises,
slowly loses,
bit-by-bit, his world.

*******. Quit melting
my mind away, and cleaving
myself from myself.

*******. I'm losing
track of what I used to be,
all because of you.

*******. You're killing
me slowly, not with toxins,
but with my own mind.

*******. You've got me
hooked, confused, and lost inside,
outside my control.

*******. *******, you
self-destructive, sadistic
******* of a drug.

It seems to me a sorry thing,
   the damage that a love can do;
for all the joy that it can bring,
   it seems to me a sorry thing,
since whilst a heart it maketh sing,
   it promises to rend it too -
it seems to me a sorry thing,
   the damage that a love can do.
I Don't belong here.
In this castle built with lies
stranded at the tallest tower
with nowhere to run
and everywhere to hide

I don't belong here
in this house of plaited gold
looking grand and innocent
the mocking oxymoron, masking
the nightmare that lay behind

I don't belong here
in this forced dream of fancy
in this perfect american family
that choked me into a whisper
complete with silent feet
and empty words

I don't belong here
stuck behind a wooden door
I closed myself
locked from the outside
with bolts of judgement
that my cowardice
won’t allow me to break

I don't belong here

So I lean my back against the gold,
and the stone and the wood
shut my eyes as tight as I could
and fought the instinct of flight
then I wished and wished with all my might
to live in the rose colored cliche
and wake to a golden carriage
with a price knocking at my door
ready to whisk me away
because I don't belong here
I’ve never belonged here
standing in plaited gold.
"I wanted you forever.
Just you, and me in the breeze.
never thinking time had a say,
bringing our future to an end.
I'll never begin to understand
how life passes us by,
it leaves us only to try.
Teaching to say goodbye.
We're given joy, and happiness
through our years, memories now of the past
Praying for just a wish, bring it back forever.
Another chance to have me in your eyes.
Another chance to hold you when you cried.
To take away the vision when you in my arms
as you died.
It was terrible when i had to say goodbye.
Wanting back all the great times we had.
All that last forever, and not those of
sad.
I only pray that you can now hear me say, how
fortunate i was that you came my way."
"I don't know how to stop loving you,
but these thoughts are Branded in me of when you were untrue.
The past is gone, and we're both separated, still
my heart beats for the return of you.
It's been a year since i broke away, yet the fool in me
thinks of you each and everyday.
Do your arms reach out to me in the morning
on the empty side of your bed?
Maybe their's another who strokes your body, and
rubs your head.
I sleep alone, and in my dreams i'm dreaming, if only
you can love me as you did before, then answered
as you again walked through the door.
Reaching out your hand in mine asking
for forgiveness as the sun once again begins to shine.
The fading dream awakes me, the thoughts of you are still very clear.
A new day begins, i begin to prepare.
Suddenly your gone, but only for a little while.
Night will return for us to be, you, and i."....
