I'll electrify you if you want me to dance,
Personify you if you give me your pants,
Exemplify virtue and all of its flaws,
Attempt to find demons, albino bear paws,
Mortify humans with all of my morals,
Live in the sea and converse with the corals,
Bifurcate meaning and dissect the reasons,
Quarter the eights and experience seasons,
Try not to fly if I'm given some wings,
I'll die if I fall, but I i've still got these strings.
Isn't it sweet to discover calamity,
Break through the vortex and slip into sanity?

Historically this history is my Thucydides,
And when I need that leadership, where is my Pericles.
Philosophies are just to please all my Aristocles,
And when I need a lover, where are my Persephones.
A thousand hordes with blazing swords descend to vanquish me,
I sit and pray that this today's not my Thermopylae.
The gateways hot, they say that's not the way it's meant to be,
So Ill just float here in my boat in my Aeagean Sea

Fortune favors the wealthy,
Illness favors the sick.
Darkness favors the darkness
But which darkness do you pick?
Living wants to live,
But the reaper wants it too.
Lost was never lost
And the old was never new.
Knives long for the wrists,
Pills want to be swallowed.
The bullet wants the brain
Because the brain wants to be hollowed
Bleeding, keeps on bleeding,
'Cause the blood wants to be red.
Something special's missing
When the life wants to be dead.

Whats that feeling in my brain,
These last regrets I can't contain.
I want to sleep, but I want to fight,
I want to rest but I ignite.
I tried to speak but I choked on my words,
I tripped while I ran and got lost in the herds.
They're are so many things that I wanted to say,
But yet, I'm stuck in this lonely today.
No way to get out and no way to get in,
Tried a good deed and then choked on my sin.
My good intentions are drowned in my lust,
My metallic heart has turned to rust.

Just for a minute,
You hold your breath,
Clench your fists,
Your eyelids shut.
You feel the cold air,
The blanketing silence,
Your body is tense and you shiver violently.
Bent and transformed,
The eyes behind your tears are not the same as they used to be.
But maybe if you open them,
Let the light ignite your pupils,
See the trees and the flowers budding,
Maybe you'll see it's springtime again.

You asked me why my eyes
Had fallen from my head
I looked you in the eyes
And this is what I said:

All I see is sunshine,
And the golden oceans shore.
All I know is sunshine,
But still, I want some more.

Dear Sunshine,
I hate to tell you things that make you cry and make you sad,
But time has stolen my feelings and my words are left unsaid.
I've lost the love that we once had,
All the good and all the bad.
I know, perhaps once we said forever
But the tattered ribbons must be severed
Don't frown sunset
Don't hide behind the hill
Throw your beams of orange and red
Catch the eye of another instead
Just don't cast that light on me.
I've made my choice to go, and you can't come with me, Sunshine
There's only one ticket, and only one suitcase
Only enough room for one blazing fire.
Please keep burning, I wouldn't want you to die
It's just that I can't love you or live this awful lie.
Dear Sunset,
You were my Sunrise
But now you're my moon
Please don't come home, please don't knock
I've already locked the door.
