The battle scars and the gaping holes
The blood that bleeds 'til it overflows
The waiting for something that is truly lost
Is love really worth the debt that it costs?

When I was a boy, about ten years old
I wanted to be a Ninja
A killer, stone cold

So I would go to my room
To practice my secret moves
Against imaginary opponents
Who were sure to lose

I would even dress all in black
For the really epic fights
Then throw my plastic Ninja stars
And quickly turn off the lights

I was a master of stealth
Ready to take on the world
Using my Ninja weapons
To save pretty girls

With wooden sword in hand
And steely guts…

I had to come back to reality
Because mom brought home doughnuts!

We're fragile and weak
We breathe and we ache
We declare war and we let ourselves break

We want and we ask
We beg and we plead
Just bobbing about
And rolling in greed

We strive to be perfect
We fight and strategize
We hurt with our weapons,
Our words and our lies

All you ever believed was untrue

Conspiracy theories are happening to you

The planets line up and the heavens collide

Your only saving grace will be an open mind.



What If?



Fairytales were reality,

Misery nothing but a falacy.

Fear is an entity fed by inaction,

Bad luck is repeated by law of attraction



Have you ever stopped to wonder,



What If?



That is certainly something to ponder.

I’m from the normal neighborhood,
You’ve got those strange neighbors, who visit you from time to time,
Their names were Fear and Death.

You’ve got those good friends, who live just around the corner,
Their names were Ecstasy and Wonder.

And you’ve got that one best friend, who lives at the other end of town,
His name was Insanity.


I’m from the Future, but also the Past,
Never the Present,
A sliver of time so thin, no being could ever grasp it,
And no nonbeing could ever create or destroy it.


I’m from somewhere I have never traveled.
A place my eyes have never witnessed,
A place only my mind has ever reached.

If you want to go there, too,
Just close your eyes and wait,
Don’t even wait,
Just let it slowly drift in and settle down.

When it does, you won’t even realize,
Just know you will be overwhelmed with joy,
And you won’t even care if Tomorrow begins without you.


I’m from “If you’re wrong, admit it,
If you’re right, shut up.”


I’m from shadows by moonlight,
From fire by love.


And nothing’s gonna change my world, cause
I’m from Across the Universe.

So that’s it, it’s done
That’s it. We’re through
I’ve severed the ropes that have tied me to you.
You said you won’t hurt me
Well times have been tough
You broke your promise
now enough is enough.
You dragged me back in,
You know that I miss you
I could see it in your eyes
Demanding I’d kiss you.
A kiss that lingered
Stretched out so long
And a hug that made me feel like I finally belong.
But now we’re back
To the nothing we were
And now I’m holding air
While you’re holding her.

From the moment you were born,
People crowded around you to celebrate your birth
From your first birthday,
You smacked your hand into the cake,
From your first day at school,
You looked around nervously,
From your first bat/bar mitzvah,
You couldn't chose what to wear,
From your first job,
You didn't know to act,
From your last job,
You were happy,
From your death,
People cried bitter tears,
And kept their only memories of you,
All this...
Determined who you were,
And your impact...
In this world
