Things of the past
I must let go
Else my pain will last
Must it be so?
Turn away
That's not for you
Why keep the old hurts
When there's joy afresh, new

I see your smile,
It's all a lie,
The wanton greed
That you deny.
You wear your masks,
You are my "friends,"
So, shame on me:
I've met my end

I feel so empty,
My esteem's sore
That knife looks delicious
My nervous system begs no more.
Isolated,
I am the one who's different
Desolate
This chapter feels so hopeless

This lonely world,
I'll hold your hand
I'll pick you up
I'll help you stand
If you can't relate
If these of you don't exist
I'll still get it done:
Miraculous

From the heart
Giving what's there, what's true
I lose them all
So that I'll gain you
Your ears always tuned in
For my call
Genuine worship
I give you my all

I lay me down
I can't lay low
I have to tell
I have to show
There more to life
Find him that's giving
Humble yourselves
And keep on living

Shimmering,
The light casts a shape into the darkness
Underneath
The moisture seeps, fluid trickles into every crevice
If the sky's no longer blue
And the grass shall lose its green
My love for you
Forever will be aquamarine

"Than fail to try,
Better to try and fail."
Death challenged my life,
But my life prevailed
It's a pain to live,
But it'll hurt them if I die
They tell me to give my all,
But why should I try

Crescents!
Show me your pearly whites
They might hurt your face
But, hey, that's alright
Just show 'em
Show 'em what you got
'Cause they'll be all that remain
When fleshes rot

The quietness prevails.
I'm trapped in, but want out of this jail.
Emotions or illusions?
Assumption or conclusion?
I am trying to focus;
My sanity, it doesn't hold up.
Remember what they told us:
Shut up, silence is golden

Rings and wrinkles,
Tales to be told,
I gained the world
But lost my soul.
Can't turn back,
Can't uncry the tears.
Not laughing last:
My end is near

Mouths, we speak
As tongues we taste
To die is loss
To live's a waste.
Detestable,
The sands of time
The tools we shape
Make us sublime

Seekers find,
A will to seek,
Us humankind
And break the meek.
No stone unturned
The nooks and crannies
Are taught and learned,
Aren't we canny
