A night I don't want to attend
Filled with people who pretend
Pretend to be sworn enemies
Pretend to be good friends

Hidden behind a mask
Of lies and inebriation
The tension fills the room
With cruel and icy sensation

False compliments
False statements of affection
A curtain of lies hangs in between
Only to protect them

You couldn't hide it any longer
Always ahead of the game
Before you spoke a word
I already knew the name

Of the man who robbed you
Of your innocence
Stole away your childhood
Left you cold and alone
Forced you to grow up in an instant

He planted subtle lies in your head
Forced you to grow up too quick
He told you he'd love you forever
And you foolishly fell for the trick

Is five minutes of pleasure
Worth a lifetime of pain?
You say it's not his fault
Who else is there to blame?

What are you ashamed of?
Afraid to let me know?
I would have taken care of you
He's gone and left you alone

I've always been there for you
Through times thick and thin
Always put you ahead of myself
Why won't you let me in?

Blessed is the night
That conceals our identity
Blessed is the night
Such peace and serenity

Blessed is the night
Of sensations and no control
Blessed is the night
Of undying rock and roll

Blessed is the night
Where creatures come to play
Blessed is the night
Where we become the prey

Just as wide, clouded horizon
Began to fade to gray.
Kissed softly by your sweet whispers.
Presenting me with reason to stay.
Glowing fires in the hillside,
A reincarnation of forgotten dreams.
Brilliance in beauty;
Magnanimous affection soulfully gleams.
Once, I departed on a wondrous journey,
When, upon arid land I did arrive.
Finding unrivaled comfort in your heart.
Discovering everlasting solace in your eyes.
Exuding an inimitable beauty,
Radiating from supple face and glowing smile.
Surely angelic attainment of said virtues,
Bestowed upon such a divinely gorgeous child.
Offering my unfaltering love and loyalty,
Happily adorned in sweet reverie.

Self realization
Self actualization
Self limitation
Is self mutilation.
Life and living
Have no correlation.

Untold wonders hide
In the depths of your mind.
All people; all actions
One in the same
You will find.

Dreams become realized
As reality is dreamed.
What is seemingly obvious
Is never what it seems.

Too busy being me
To be myself.
Escaping within my
Own mind.
Is it possible to be
True to oneself?

If God did not want me
To express myself freely,
Probe the universe,
Explore, and speak my mind.
He would not have
Bestowed upon me
Language, lips, and tongue,
These tools we hold divine.

Sometimes, in life, we have all the momentum.  As if we're riding the peak of a tremendous, powerful wave.  Such potential we have to achieve the unimagined.  Yet, other times, life feels overwhelming.  As if having the weight of the universe bearing down upon us like a corner stone is not enough, a demon of unthinkable evil, one we call society, reaches in and slowly strangles us from within.  It is always at our weakest moments in life when evil chooses to strike.  It's as if you understand exactly what is occurring, yet you are powerless and unable to control it.  Your heart beats too quickly while your mind works too slowly.  You have become completely locked inside your self.  Sometimes it becomes necessary to delve deep inside ourselves and locate that minute portion of innate, animal instinct that hasn't yet been killed off by modern technology and useless vices.  We must retrieve that everlasting fire from your soul.  This powerful, unique force must be harnessed and concentrated.  This fire is of preternatural omnipotence and is the fire of life that will break you free from the frozen block of anxiety that binds you.  When harnessed and used properly, it will ultimately set you free from the bindings of reality.
