And the silence it deafens me
And the pain it claws at me
And you are not there, and I can't open my eyes to see

Why did you go
And why did it show
The lies on your face
Still there

Remember how we used to be, like lovers in films you and me
Until the end played out now
And hearts broke so loud

Now you walk away from me
I can't even see

How the fears and tears fall down to the ground
So you just turn around
And walk

Didn't ya say it's forever
Don't ya know it's never

So just leave me now, and close the door to my heart

The she-devil that rides my soul
Her putrid breath stinging my nostrils
Her decaying teeth gnawing my flesh
Her ragged nails clawing at my heart
ripping my life to shreds.

Written by Keith Edward Baucum

Don't wait to see me drown in my own tears
Kissing the hands of my own fears, outstreached and waiting for me to fall

Come to me
Can you hear my call

How don't you see me begging
How don't you see me in my hour of need

The light it fades and in shadows we play
Like two little soldiers of doom
You were gonna be my life
The one who died inside to save this wretched child

But now

I kneel in dirt so dry wiping first from my eyes
And listening to the song of yesterday
Play in my mind

Don't leave me now
Don't turn around and walk away
Remember how it was
And now it's just all gone

I was snorting the snow
I missed you being born
I was smoking the rock
And now your twelve
I slammed last night
Your moving out
I crashed
You married had kids
I woke up foggy
Where are you
I was supposed to be there
I want to tell you how proud I am
I wanted my fix more
Sad alone cold
Today was when I realized
It was to late

I’m a deeply religious person
And though I don’t believe in cursing
As a spiritual individual
It will do no good at all
To try to take my rights away
By telling me how I must pray
And who I have to pray to.
You couldn’t if you wanted to
Because I have the Constitution.
So make a New Year’s resolution
To shove those thoughts, however dumb
Right back where you all got them from.
Consider this great advice of mine
And shove them where the sun don’t shine.

Free is the way for me.
How much better can it be.
Freedom in perpetuity
That’s what you can do for me.
Get all the rich folk taxed equally
Leave all the rest of it up to me.

This country started long ago
The founding fathers made it so
That nobody could push us around
Or run our beliefs into the ground
And yet for several hundred years
Some were beaten about the ears
Because we did not drink from the chalice
Is somebody else’s golden palace;
Of preachers in their fancy duds
Who hang with well-connected buds
That make the laws that work to pry
Our freedom away and let us die
By collectively saying and assuming
If we aren’t their church, we aren’t human.

Free is the way for me.
How much better can it be.
Freedom in perpetuity
That’s what you can do for me.
Get all the rich folk taxed equally
Leave all the rest of it up to me.

It's it me tonight did I turn out the light
Casting a shadow on life
Did you look away and hope I would stay
Or shut me out in the cold cold night

Can't you look beyond your dreams
See the way you cry
And throw the future goodbye

Don't tell me it's all your fault
Don't tell me it's the way
Listen as they play
Our song on the radio

Had this been right then we wouldn't fight
And time was gonna be ours
But now

I stand all alone in a field with no home
And heart shaped daggers that bite
Inside
