My heart is fading
like the stars
my hold on life
is crumbling like the waves
that crash
and splash
and lash
and leash
the sand-grains to the sea.

Work your fingers to the bone
for the face in the mirror
now watch it laugh -
your photograph
is of the face in the mirror
now smash the glass -
poison gas
from the face in the mirror
take up the phone -
all alone
but for the face in the mirror now
*dial the wolf.

"The snow glows white on the mountain tonight"

It's so beautiful, majestic
Yet a darkness fills my soul
The miles and miles of white
Yet the black is taking control

"Not a footprint to be seen"

No one dares travel this path
That I've traveled for so long
No visitors or prying eyes
To tell me what's right or wrong

"It's a Kingdom of isolation"

There's no souls, no hearts
Nothing here for me to break
Surrounded by the starry night
But I'm doing this for their sake

"And it looks like I'm the Queen"

I control this place, on my own
In my mind and I'm happy alone
I'm safe and secure with not a soul
I'm destined forever, in this place I call home

"The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside"

My emotions rage, my anger I cannot restrain
The dimmed light inside, fades every day
Complete darkness may overcome the truth
And there just may not be any other way


"Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I've tried"**

It's exploding, escaping from inside
This energy, this crazed mentality
I'm scared of what may come out of me
So, in this isolation is where I'll live my destiny

I am second place,
I am the runner-up,
I am the one who comes so close,
Just to mess it up.

I am the failed designer,
Who left out the crucial part,
And without a thought condemned to death,
A thousand heavy hearts.

I am a second too late,
I am the narrow miss,
I am the one who lost the girl,
Just before the kiss.

I am the last survivor,
The final one to die,
Who saw his friends bleed and pass,
Before his very eyes.

I am the chosen one,
Who failed to meet their fate,
I am the glaring disappointment,
Overwhelmed with hate.

I am inside everyone,
I live within the soul,
But lucky for you, instead of me,
You will meet your goal.
