I Killed My Old Self
Conor Cleveland Jan 2014
Another cigarette in my teeth,
With each puff I take the world seems to unravel,
It's just another cold, dark cloudy night,
The same as the last time,
My old self is dead,
I've grown out of my shell to rise to freedom,
This is the start to a new beginning,
Never shall I be weak again I told my  self,
To let this pain rob me of my senses,
I realize now than ever before that I have killed my old self,
Forever more I am stronger,
Forget the past whats coming is so much better,
Till the future arises to golden the hills of the valley of the shadows I walk,
I am no longer the man I used to be,
My old self is dead and I am the murderer.

Siddhartha Gutama
Conor Cleveland May 2013
Misty mountain not so high,
Please let me enlighten before I die,

The smell of incense in the air,
Live a good life with a bit of care,

Reason is treason with wrath,
Anger will take you down a horrid path,

Misty mountain haze come to me,
Forever in a rain drop of a sorrowful sea,

Enlightened once more on the path of Life.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2013
Down today as an everlasting cycle,
Drop all in the way,
Hard to see the truth in the mind,
Lies are the cries of pity,
Time is the only true essence,
Mystic madness of malicious intent,
Rough roads lead to better places,
The heavens aren't so far away after all,
Standing on top only makes you closer,
That's how you live.

~The Story of A Robbery~
Conor Cleveland Mar 2012
You can only imagine the dilemma,
As the figure flew into the bank,
Gun in hand as if an expert,
Little did he know there was a hero amongst the crowd,
A single strike upon the neck,
That is all the mockingbird sang,
For even the alarms bell could not ring,
The time for greed was splayed and impaled,
A crow perched upon the shoulder of the devil,
Sent to do the work of collecting the tormented soul,
There in hell his soul was parched and ever blazing,
To the void he remains till he does his time.

I always thought you were my friend,
But I can see through your guise,
Your just a lie, like the ones you tell,
It turns out that my whole world is a lie,
But even in this darkest of times,
One can see the truth behind the eyes,
Until then the hallucinations continue.

The Goddess
Conor Cleveland Mar 2013
From deep within the swirling water her pressence came to me,
I embraced her in my arms to feel her eternal warmth,
Her wisdom limitless in the silence of the water,
Her majestic flames encrypted my body,
I can feel the roots of eternity setting in,
Her entity as cold as the night,
Without her we would die,
The Goddess is our mother,
The Goddess is all around us,
The Earth is our mother.

Human Selfishness
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011

The Want Of Belonging
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
People search far and wide for Love,
Not only is it love there looking for though...
There looking towards a place where they belong,
Where people don't judge them on there actions or appearance,
A place where people love them, and accept them for who they are,
And not what they think they should be...
Ones only hope is to look within for this feeling,
Never give up on the search...
Please just keep going and be free of these gnarling demons,
Let love break there grasp upon you...
Be Free,
And Most importantly...
Find That Feeling Or Die Trying
Conor Cleveland Apr 2012
They say that I think I know it all,
But I really don't,
They say that I'm just no good,
I have to live with the fact that I am just not good for them,
They say I am stubborn,
I laugh and say hell yeah,
They say that I am a lover,
And I smile to say,
You got that right,
They say that I'm the father figure,
I can't deny that's the way it seems,
A lot of people call me a dreamer,
That is when I say; You can learn from your dreams,
Some people call me a mistake,
I say you have to make them sometimes,
They say that I am so negative,
Well let me show you positive,
Some call me a liar,
Then I just show them the truth; I love everyone,
That is the reason I'm here.

Transgression

You will find what your looking for,
Your looking for me...
You say your going to ****,
So lo and behold here I am...
Fire away,

Your to afraid to do this...
What were you thinking?
**** or be killed?

Your confused...
Blinded by the light of the truth,
The illumination of the dark veil cast over your head...
You can now see the light in your last moments of being...
To bad insanity caught you first...
To many transgressions to go on...

So this is the one last fair well I give you...
You have left all behind, only to wake,
It's check mate bud,
So the king finally falls-

Melancholy Mind
Conor Cleveland Apr 2012
Some times I just break down and cry,
Some times my heart tells me that I want to die,
Let me be,
Someone please rescue me,
I sleep with my poison thoughts,
Even though there so terribly infatuating,
I can only spend my time accumulating,
My melancholy mind,
Setting up a tight bind,
I live to be just so sad,
How did I ever get this bad?,
Am I going mad?,
No this is just my Melancholy Mind

In the end of it all I was there for you,
I caught you just on the edge...
But your starting to fall again,
I don't want to watch, but my eyes are staying open...
I will throw down my hand to try and save you,
This is our last chance at your life...
Lets not take any risks,
This is no time to gamble or play games...
Just take my hand, and let us live until the day,
The day we die...
But it wont be over there,
We can be rejoined in the sky...
Like the clouds touch the blue
Ill be here with you.

Anonymous
Conor Cleveland Feb 2013
Crushing all who oppose the ideas of our operation,
Greed runs deep within the roots,
Freedom is just a kind-hearted word,
Promises are now just lies,
You can't trust anything you see in the media,
The true world order is the one unseen,
Mysterious yet exuberant but no one gets the point,
Most uprisings are killed or silenced,
Yet an Idea lives as a seed that will grow into a tree,
Everyone is apart of the idea in their own little way,
Everyone is Anonymous.
Conor Cleveland May 2011
You have security behind your mind...
Never letting anybody close in fear of that you might get hurt...
Blocking all emotions towards other people...
This wall filled with sadness and fear like a solid concrete...

But I will chip away at this wall and bring you to this world...
With a violent concussion I will shatter this wall to bits in hope of the future...
A future where there is no need for you to be afraid...
Where you can live your life and not regret that in which you missed...

To go ever upward as the motto Excelsior is for told-

~A Brick In The Road~
Conor Cleveland May 2012
What a life is worth is in much debate,
We sell each other off as slaves,
Looking in a more broad of perspective,
Whether it you be the color of your skin, a religion, or an ethnicity,
Let this be known and stated that we too are human,
None better than its equal,
For we are all equal in a society that leads us to believe were not,
So many restrictions on your everyday life,
Just close your eyes and let me explain,
Government is in place to "lead" their people,
Oppressive behavior is what can be seen here,
I say stop lets get this straight as a knife,
We are all human so let us choose what we do,
Its stated many times in history that we are all equal,
So let us all see and make peace and equality rain,
As it did the day the Berlin Wall fell,
When you went to a Beatles concert and all the people just wanted to have fun,
As a family vacation to the beach in the sun,
Let this be a great brick in the long road ahead,
I stand up and say without fear,
Come now peace is here.

The Tale of Insanity
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
There souls like wild fire burning to escape,
Escape what exactly?...
Their escaping there minds,
To the eternal plains of Insanity...
What led them there?
They were led by curiosity, and greed...
Two invokable deeds punished with little mercy,
Is there any hope for them now that they have driven the path they chose?
Yes but they must face there worst fears before there eyes, and forget them...
Yet on the brink of insanity lies the quiet steps of death,
Death waits for no man, nor woman...
Insanity is the same way,
There a family of sorts... All three of them...
The first two lead to death...
Curiosity leads to insanity,
And Insanity leads to death...
The graves will be filled with these poor people as the times we live in get harder,
But there is a bright side to this endless tragedy...
We will be surrounded by the survivors, or the stronger of the two,
All around us will be the good that is left in the world...
A strong light which will lead us into the future of greatness...
Remember that only in a world of Darkness can,
The Strong survive to bring back the light...
Never give up, and this will be Mankind's greatest achievement...

Death from confusion
Conor Cleveland Apr 2013
Dark hazes circle your thoughts,
The last obstical in the way of ascension,
Your spirit goes limp as it comes near,
Your thrown off the path you once followed,
You become hollow,
Your life was drained away,
This is the price of all greed,
Judgement is impossible to escape,
Let it embrace you as you succumb to its will.
Conor Cleveland Jun 2012
Rage has no limits, no boundaries to cross,
You make my addiction every time you catch my eye,
I have to drink to get you out of my head,
My soul burns to end you like a lightning flash,
This world may be cruel but not as cruel as you,
Its raining blades that just pierce the innocent,
Cannibalistic feelings just overdose your mind,
Now you stand tall,
Your the worst kind of villain,
You take pleasure in the hate you create,
Egotistical murders and atrocities you commit,
Now that I have the strength and thunder in my soul Ill defend myself from you,
Who are you?
I am you.

A World Filled With Pain
Conor Cleveland May 2011
The skies burn red as the flames arise
The black clouds fly which is to no surprise

The dead have fallen beneath the ground
Only to be found by some pesky hound

The flames roar with laughter of the devil
The sky is ready to cry to clean off the shovel

The rain begins to fall slowly
As the world is lonely

The world is full of pain
This is impossible to disclaim

For it is true in every way
Some day we will all have to pay-

Escaping the Mind
Conor Cleveland May 2011
What does it take to escape calamity?

All you have to do is escape your mind
And not fall to far behind

Exceed the limits placed on you
Drop the worries you'll come through

From the wind up high that soars
The mighty oceans let loose their roars

It's still your choice on what to do
So take a card and get a clue
Remember escaping the mind isn't hard to do
It's just all up to you

Welcome to the world,
Where nothing exists,
Because it is yet to be created,

And yet it is all over-rated,
Reality is nothing to us,
Ready to take the bus,

Gotta face your fears,
You have to have faith,
Now you gotta set down all those beers,

Please just realize, You can't keep going this way a- hey,
So come on now and be apart of the bay,
Because you never know if this is your last day.

Personal Road To Hell
Conor Cleveland Mar 2012
Following the sounds in my head,
Like a crazed form of schizophrenia,
I talk to myself,
Pleading with the dark as I circle around my self,
Like a vulture scavenging upon the road,
That is where I am on the hot tar,
The road to hell,
New waves of violation,
****** impurities crawl through my veins,
My body is twitching with the sting of the drug,
The drug called life,
In which can set you to the dark,
With nothing not even a glimmer of light from a street lamp,
Only hells flaming pits are developed in your eyes,
As you stair into your demise,
Has your path been set?

You Don't Think Do You?

In this forsaken realm we call a world...
Nothing achieved was free of blood shed,
Blood has been spilled time, and time again...
It's animosity...Its human nature-
Aggression is present in animals, though in humans too...
Let it be that I just let you know,
That the world has been covered in blood so forth since time began...
Yet stop this foolish squandering upon old tales, and Protect the Peace that is Present now... For it may not be much more-
And embrace the true meaning of life...
Religion claims holiness yet more blood has been spilled over foolish disbuts,
Let this be a remembrance to the rights of mankind before it is lost in time and Fades Away... Say good bye to the past, and Welcome the future.

Walking in my head is like playing with demons,
It's pitch black, Flames of an iron will burn strong,
Blood is flowing on the floor...

Energy circulates through the air,
Anger is the wood that adds to the fire,
The energy is the starter,

My mind is strong, and determined,
Yet at the same time weak, and open,

A river of vicious thoughts flow threw,
Only once in a while pierced by the thoughts of good,
Yet even in the darkness it holds family and friends near-

You just hate the world and cut yourself to watch the blood poor,
Its so hard to watch you do this to yourself,
Beating yourself up for this Adonis Complexion,

Its time to stop calling yourself names and pull your face out of the dirt,
Stop worrying about if you can fit in that shirt,
You can die yet you do not listen,
Desire is the plague that drives you,
Welcome to my world,
Welcome to my hell,
Welcome your salvation,
For I am the reason your still here,

And that is that I be myself.

I stood there looking as the world turned without me,
My heart no longer beat for I was stuck in time,
All the things I've done to forget the thoughts,
I was dragged through hell,
I gave in to myself,
Let the world have no mercy,
For what it has put me through,
You can find me one place after what I've been through,
I stopped hitting the bars,
I stopped getting high,
The only place I can be seen is hanging in the rafters,
As I remain still for the end of time,
Yet time does not stop for the wicked nor innocent,
Time is the real killer of men.

I'm a hopeless cause on this worldly epidemic,
The rain cannot fulfill my sorrows,
For my heart urns for the wrong thing,
I just can't seem to be happy knowing who I am,
Growing up in a nowhere land,
I just can't understand how I got this way,
Slowly driving myself off to never land,
I feel as if the inside of me has been dieing,
This could be the last nail in my sacred coffin,
Let this be the most dangerous thing that lets me go,
Ill live forever in my secret ways oh so clever,
As I lay as a corpse would,
And listen to the world run rampant in its own filth,
Sounding of the endless treacheries this world must endure,
As I bow down to the world,
I finally understand that I must never be that way,
The way that all humans expect,
Its time to be unique that is the one gracious thing,
That makes us all Human.

Dead is what we call it when someones heart stops beating,
Like when their cells distort from extreme heating!

Icy cold touch to prove you right,
It sails so quick like a kite...

Meaningless gestures to abrupt the fright,
But it's to late he's lost the fight!

Check out this calamity,
As the waves soon become calm at sea!

He's more limp than a sitting log,
Stuck in motion like a spinning cog!

It's time to end this Eulogy!
It's time for the Death of He!

Soon we will all see
The Very Same Fate As He!
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
Death had a vice grip over humanity,
but its lost its icy touch...
Some people claim their not afraid, or they die for a cause
We call them martyrs
But really why do they do what they do?
Do they do it for us?
Or is it for there benefit to go to the place they want
Maybe they need escape from this world
Perhaps they have been purged into darkness and can see no light in this world
Is this what we should believe in?
No, we should believe in a world where you can trust in a complete stranger
In a world where the Demons don't exist
Is this in the future?
Time is the key were just the lock...

There is no equal power...
Than the one lone soul that burns...
It's flames inextinguishable by any means...

Where the volley over volley of darkness will be splintered by the light of the flame... An to retreat into the shadows from which it came...
That's where it shall remain as long as there is still that one flame to purge...

As long as there is light there is a way beyond the under estimated sea of evil...
In which many search for their lives...But don't realize how close it really lies...

So start the spark that lights your flame, and together we will burn the darkness and create hope for the future~

To the moon and back I wait till that day,
When we can be together again,
I was so sad when I lost you last May,

But in your death I realized how much more you meant to me,
You helped me back to religion,
I still think about that times we had,
Even though they make me sad,

Let it be the stone, for your the one known,

Let your feet hit the flames, If your done with these games,
Let it be known that this tune is the one *Evil Plays-

What comes after I die?
Perhaps I will burn to ash and fly,

Let the world continue without me,

My only hope is that our generation can get a boost from the classics,

What It Means To Be Happy
Conor Cleveland Jun 2012
Light shines through the black clouds of depression,
As the golden rays penetrate your skin you feel it,
Happiness is the cure to any sickness,
Never a better feeling when you can feel the smile,
You let your inner soul out to soar like a crow in the air,
A great aura cascades around you collapsing despair to its god-forsaken knees,
Each inexhaustible breath through your smile is its nail in a coffin,
Shielding you from the inferno yet to come,
One can only understand what its like to be happy when its been stripped from them,
So lest we remember what it truly means To Be Happy.
Conor Cleveland Aug 2011
Come look at me now how have I not proven myself worthy?,
Ive danced upon the trees, and sang with the breeze,
Yet you don't even notice me,

It's as if our fates separate us every time we begin to get close,
But it's the only thing Ive known,
So to watch you go, It was like a slow eating poison,
Ill take that dose until I die,

Like a play on a stage the society will watch me deteriorate,
Silent whispers litter their ears,
The Devil laughs as they see their fears,

Heaven wasn't so sweet to me,
For I knew we still could not be,
The realization I just couldn't see~

You took the time to take a hold of my heart,

I thought I was destined to be alone forever,
But now I have you darling,

As time progresses we will survive, and keep strong,
The hard times will be over soon...
Just wait, and the bountiful fields will come to you,
Your love might be nearer than you think...
Don't waste away, and be held back,
Everyone has a little good in them no matter how evil they are..
You can never mess up bad enough not to live,
So give it all you got...
And don't look back.
