Dance
Riot Apr 2014
When your mind doesn't care
When nobody will listen
When you feel it in the air
And your heart will feel a glisten

To be free
From the stress of
Real life and it's tests
So dance your heart out
Be better than the rest
If you love to dance and know it

grey ocean
Riot May 2014
in the deepest of oceans
there is grey
the tear of the broken
that couldn't save the day
but in a closed mind
there is blue
those who drown in the ocean of grey
show us what we think is true
why the ocean is blue

pain
Riot Jul 2014
pain
is beautiful
it creates beautiful music
it brings out the art in people
pain
is an art
it is a gift
people feel
for a reason
pain is for art
you are art to me*

**but some people just can't paint

its not easy
Riot Apr 2014
Its not easy
For me to do everything you say
The one thing I can't and won't do for you
Is be perfect
The only thing I will do for you
It tell you that

You don't know what happens to me
When you expect me to do everything
But what will you to me
That you haven't done
Mentally

Its not easy for me to lie to you
So why do you lie to me

Its not easy for me to trust you
but I know that you can trust me

And its easy for me to argue with you
But that's not who I'm going to be

And what do you expect to do
That hasn't been done
Mentally

dark
Riot Sep 2014
it's so dark
and i'm the only one with wings to fly

is this art?
or is it just another lie?

the silence screams the truth
but the darkness screams the lies
and it's so loud in here
there's a crowed in here

Riot Apr 2014
i don't understand
can someone tell me
why you think of yourselves
when someone doesn't have the ability?

right at this time someone is committing suicide
they walked right past you
you looked into their eyes
could you not see it in their eyes?

but it's not your problem
so you set it aside
it becomes YOUR problem
when they look into YOUR eyes

silence
Riot Jul 2014
he watches the world he’s broken
falling
falling
he keeps his scars open
so you
can see
everything he goes through
nobody sees the hurting
silence
silence
but somehow he has the will to live
how did he find it?

after all that's been said and done
all he wants is for someone to tell the story
can somebody find me?

in the silence of this white room
he hears them
falling
falling


strapped from left to right
no scars to hold on to
so now
no one
can see

there
he's just there going through

he sees the light in the deafening
silence
silence


and now that nobody knows the story
he can't
find it
find it


**to this day he's watched in the silence

pretty
Riot Oct 2014
sometimes real pretty
gets a little ugly
sometimes clean
is a little *****
sometimes you die
for life
you break for healing
so break honey
break

sometimes doctors are the ones doing the hurting
and we all now that strangers
are the ones doing the flirting

what you want
you won't find where you want it

pretty isn't in the magazines
it's in the little things
it's in the broken wings
it's in the rainy clouds
it tells a story
without a whisper
without a mumbling

*you're really pretty

forever and always
Riot Aug 2014
i used to be in love
in love with you
you changed my heart
and then hit the bottom
we talked all night
we planned our lives
you changed me
i lived you

i never knew that i could love someone
as much as i loved you
i never thought you would leave
by letting yourself
walk into the street

i never got to say i love you
after you said it to me
i never got to be free
with you
the other half of me

you left your signature on my heart
now i have to restart
and the tattoos when we held hands
no longer say "forever and always"
it just says
"forever"

like you
my friend lost someone she loved
this is for her

thats the first time he said out loud
how much he loved her
and she was so proud
because in his eyes wasn't the broken child
black and blue
it's the man that learned to love

every rose
Riot Aug 2014
every rose has it's thorn
but every thorn has it's rose
and sometimes you can't catch up to where your life goes
and sometimes it seems the air is a better home
but don't
jump
yet


i know how bad it feels
falling through the cracks
but you don't know what it feels like when you've fallen all the way through
and you never will
because i believe in you

you see the stars
with your broken heart
you hold the answers on your shoulders along with all the boulders
your strong
you've got a lot going on but you're strong

i can't do this
Riot Apr 2014
the last time i felt like this
i was in a strange place
dancing in the dark
with the shadows in my heart

you told me i was trouble
and i believed you
so i became
trouble
but i can't be that anymore
i can't be dark
because i am light
i can't pretend to be fake
because i'm real
i can't pretend to be perfect
i'm not
i'm a shadow
always will be
and if i'm not in the shadow of the world
i will be in God's shadow
we're all shadows

what makes me different?

what if you could do anything in the world
what would you do
would you do something different
if nobody looked at you?

what if you could change the way you looked
would you really want to
if nobody talked to you?

what if you could change the way you felt about someone
would you go through with it
if you knew how much they loved you?

children of the earth
Riot Apr 2014
all the children of the earth
abused and bullied alike
want someone to know that they're there
so one night they were all crying
at the same time
none of them knew why
they just started to cry

everything that happened
hit them at once
the bruises and black eyes
chased them down in a hunt

and it got to them everything
nothing could stop the pain
an angel came down from heaven
and they gave them the blame

but a voice into the silence
calmed them quick as could be
so they looked into the sky
and saw
not and angle
but a key

"where are you from
why do you come
"
the children all called out
like a beat of a drum

"what matters is not me
it's the pain for i have come"
and the key came into them
and spoke like a bomb

we all have the same story
we all tried to fight for glory
we all lost
is this the cost?

the true bringing of madness is coming
you can't stop it
so come with me children
to a new place

where everything that's happened
won't matter
what they did to you
will not be seen
heard
or thought of

so come with me
to a place
where hurt can't be spoke of

they heard of this place
and gladly said yes
so the key said
"good
that is the end of your test"

so all looking at each other
without hesitation
on the bridge of sadness
where life had placed them

they jumped
for madness would not have caught them

but before they hit the ground
the key came out of them
"i didn't want them to jump  
i just wanted to help them"

for their hearts had been locked
he wanted to unlock them
but on the inside
he couldn't see
he didn't have time to stop them

In the shadow of the start
Hollow water

Tears of fire bring me higher

And I'll remember to remember all of you
