Broken and defeated
front seat of incompetence depleted
Sleep deprived and laid to rest
beating and pounding in my chest

Evident thoughts run through my mind
time seems to be falling behind
Speak a word and i shall provoke
clinching fists and i have broke

Everything turns to an outbreak of rage
no more emotion could be bottled up and caged
I fall to the floor and I burst out crying
all I feel is me slowly dying

one great moment
can change a life
one great mistake
can change a life
one great thought
could destroy a nation
but one great action could save them
so what do you want to be great at?

because one great mind
could end great thought

one great key
*could unlock

Once upon a lie,
Quite a bit ago,
I thought I had the greatest Prince
That would never let me go.
The Prince wasn't satisfied,
No, not just with me.
So now the Prince is satisfied,
But the princess had let him be.
The princess asked for loyalty,
Is that too much to ask?
Apparently it was,
To hard of a task.
The princess was dependent,
Didn't know how to live for herself,
How to make her self happy,
She didn't need his wealth.
She doesn't need a Prince,
To make sure her castle stands,
All she needs is her mind,
And her two hands
The princess isn't fragile,
She's no longer made of glass,
All she can think is,
Well the Prince can kiss my ***.

Invisibility;

it need not mean
to not physically be seen,
for eyes look on,
taking in the
loneliness
I don;

crowds and rooms
bursting loud with tunes,
faces happily grimacing,
I am grimacing back,
revelry I am feigning,
as on spins the DJ track;

professional smile-maker,
the most experienced faker,
regarded by passerbyers,
they know nothing of my
insides                     on fire;

room crowded
and still alone,
optimism shrouded
by apathetic groan;

You
see
"me,"
but
you
don't
see
me;

Invisibility.
I banged my head on the shelf exactly
     half an hour after
     I´d taken an aspirin
for my hangover.
Didn´t feel a thing.

There will always be a problem.
There will always be a knock.  
The lady takes you,
And you don't know where you're at,
Or why your'e there at all.

Each separation takes its toll.
The lady cries when you're cold.
Take your dreams, hold them tight,
There's nothing in this world other than you
And what you believe is right.

Can't you see, my lady of thee,
That I am I and you are you?
That what we strive for
Is something within us, something new and
Something old?

I allow myself to be seen.
What has past, has also been.
But don't tell yourself
That the future is yours,
My love for you
Is deep down
To my pores.
I'm here for you and you,
You are here for me too.

Can't you see,
My pretty beauty,
That my love
For thee
Is for thee

Only?

What's more deadly
A gun or a thought?

A gun gives you the opportunity,
But a thought pulls the trigger.
