If Only
If we individually decide we've had enough
If we rise up and do what we want
If we respect each other and ourselves
If we destroy fundamental roles
If we pursue our own dreams
Then, and only then, will change happen
We don't won't change
We have never had that ripping hunger
For things to be different
For if we had, they would already be different
Existence is nothing
We must live

Enough
I feel the drumming of my heart
Sometimes that's enough

Are you here, are you there? Are you really anywhere? Do you exist? Do I even care?

All my life on your side, it was quite the ride. But now Im confused and I really need you.

Where are you now? Can you not make a sound? Are you even around?

All the years, all the fears. All the pain and the tears. I felt shunned, I think Im done. Give me a reason to hope.

All the prayers without cares. Why'd I waste my breath? All the times I was broke, and didnt have a dime.

To show for my face, I was such a disgrace. But. So. Were. You.

I sought you in your word, how absurd could I be? I guess I thought you might give a **** about me.

I was wrong, now this song is my cry to a doomed world. I sing about your lack of love for me. All I ask is why?

Monster Hunt
I will destroy this monster
It beats my kids and my wife
Takes all my money
Ruins my life

The beast won't leave
It won't go away
I must destroy him
He's not welcome to stay

He complicates all the things I hold dear
Torments my souls year after year

Hidden in my closet
Tucked under my bed
As I sleep he waits
To rip off my head

Run but can't hide
From this shell of a man
He's gaining ground now
Soon I'll make my stand

Load my gun
Test the trigger
I've never felt bigger

Line up the sight
Bullet takes flight
Sinks into skin
Buried within
Then I fall to my knees
That monster was me

Here Lies Demise
Your argument is invalid
Cause' I have a brain
And two eyes to see
Your pride must be slain

Don't try to tell me
What I already know
And don't play the part
Only for show

Step up, be a man
Say it to my face
You stupid coward
I'll put you in your place

Spit on my brow
I'll snap your spine
Rip open your mouth
You give me a sign

Faker than my smile
More elusive than joy
So many people
Fall into your ploy

Behind my back
Your words find their home
The minds of my friends
Where they now roam

I'll set you on fire
Burning your skin
The only way I know
To confront evil within

You had your chance to turn
Now ******* burn

Sometimes
Sometimes,  the end isn't so abrupt
Sometimes,  it just fades in
Sometimes, it's not over
Sometimes,  it is just anew

Need You to Want Me
*******
I wonder what you taste like
I want your nails to caress me
And your arms to surround me
I want to pull you close
And show you every ***** thought
I want to make your fantasies reality
I want you to want me
I need you to want me

The Past
The past has a special way of holding on to you, even when you try to let it fade. It's like a leech ******* happiness away. You're doing well and then, one day, you remember what you used to be like. Or you remember people that you used to know. And then, you realize you know nothing about them. They could be dead. And then you start to question whether you care if they're dead or not. Then, you think of graphic ways they could die. Now comes the worst part. The self-hatred for letting your mind go there. You loathe yourself entirely for being that disgusting. You don't even know why you feel that way. But, suddenly, you remember what they did to make you feel that way. All at once, the feelings of hate, confusion, and anger come at you in a torrent of fury. You then forget how to feel anything but those emotions. The past still has you.

Today was one of those days I can't describe. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. It just was.

Enemies Once Friends
Rip the spine from your skin
They are that cold
Knife leading the attack
To free you from your soul

You choose your friends
And they choose you
You love them, you hate them
They love and hate you

They stab you in the back
And then twist the knife
To bring the most pain
They’re out for your life

They rip out your heart
Just because they can
Bleed out every part
This is their plan

Drive to the ocean
Toss it in the sea
Takes only a second
To get rid of me

But my memory lives on somewhere

The War of Words
Stop! Think before your lips part
Using your brain is a good way to start

You won this battle
(what are we fighting for)
But I'll win the war
Just tell me please
(what are we fighting for)
What are we fighting for

You're just another mindless pawn
You have no brain, nothing but brawn
Every word you say will be your demise
If only you could see yourself from my eyes

I don't run from a fight
I fight for what's right
Standing so tall
Make you so small

Bringing you to your knees
Any time that I please
As I see fit
I'll never quit

I will never surrender
You're just a pretender
Nothing you do
Is counted as true

Do what you wish
But I'll make you pay
When you die
I long for that day

— The End —
