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.
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 Apr 2012
My eyes are watering,
Ready to start cascading at any minute,
A humble servant to the rain,
I'm sitting here looking at life go down the drain,
I realize that my mind is gone,
I have jumped off the deep end one to many times,
Now ill have an eternity to pay for my crimes,
Slowly my eyes are closing,
The darkness is overwhelming,
As the blood drowns my fear,
My mind has gone clear,
For as I lie dying,
The Sky Starts Crying.
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-
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
Just waiting to die,
I look up to the ever darkened sky,
Just some blood on a knife,
God is not liking such strife,

An eternity I will spend,
Waiting for the day it will all end,
What comes after I die?
Perhaps I will burn to ash and fly,

Let the world continue without me,
I just let go and see,
My heart is empty of emotion,
I've came to the end this promotion,

So let this be my final words of wisdom,
Don't let you get in the way of who you want to be.
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
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~
Conor Cleveland May 2013
Standing in the river of my own damnation,
Throw shall not ****, is all forgotten,
Remember back to a simpler time,
Back to when hell wasn't here,
Now here goes the river,
It's run dry,
Forever more an ever clear sky,
Let this day be significant in the eyes,
The eyes that cannot see are not blind,
The ears that don't hear are not deaf,
One chooses to see,
But all is not as it looks,
End of time shall arrive,
Yet it will travel far beyond our life,
Future is coming.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2011
It's so hard to control who you really are...
I try not to let my horns show through,
But just being around you...
It makes me break,
Like a branch in a storm...
The sight of you is enough to make my blood boil,
Yet you just look past me, and hardly know I'm here...

I'd sell my soul if I could to be with you,
Yet I don't know why...
You have more control over me then I do on my self,
Though my mind tells me to let you be...My heart says otherwise...
I can't last much longer,
So let me just say these last words before I go...
Good Bye to You.
Conor Cleveland Jul 2013
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.

If you stray your thoughts too long on the past it will consume you,
So just sit back and realize tomorrows going to be ok...
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.
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
Its your decision what to do with your life,
Yet people try to control, and give you strife...
Its your choice,
So listen to your voice...

Though being all alone is selfish too,
You always need somebody to say **I love you
Conor Cleveland Jun 2012
You can be happy with yourself anymore,
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,
Now I step in,
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,
I owe you one thing,
And that is that I be myself.
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.
Conor Cleveland Feb 2012
Even in the depths of hell I will hold you,
All I ask is that you be true,

I miss you so now that you've gone away,
I am so sorry I didn't hold you in that special way

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,

I love you darling,
Just much more then you ever knew...
So its not good bye,
Just a little while...
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
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.
Conor Cleveland Jul 2011
Breaking the barriers,
Were Free,
Escaping from the prison called reality,

Lay down in the middle of the road,
Do a back flip to be a fool,
Play 300 rounds of pool,

It's always sunny there,
So just keep going in your mind,
And just don't care
Conor Cleveland Apr 2011
We all used to be so close...
Now I'm waiting for you to come back,
But I know were all going our separate ways...
Like a darting river parting at the mouth,
Were all just stitching in one big pattern...
So we still need to be close together,
The plague that sets upon the world is the not caring...
We only want to help our selves,
How selfish...
So I encourage all of you to help,
Reconcile with the the life we used to have...
So come on an break these barriers,
Don't let anything get in the way...
And remember the way it used to be,
Grab on to that for it may still be.
Conor Cleveland Jul 2012
Let the light shine through the window and embrace your eyes with a gentle surprise,
As they come to you in your time of need,
They are the light the ones in white,
Lest we forget that in which life is based upon the caressing of time,
Days go by where you look for an answer,
Yet just wait they might see that it be dealt,
Just keep your head to the sky and watch as it cries for you,
Tears of joy rolling down eternities cheeks as it stops time for a long deserved second,
We now remember why we were here,
As the promoters of the glory of life upon the bountiful spectrum of Mortality.
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
Follow me to the ends of the earth,
Follow me until the day you die...
Follow me beyond this world,
I will guide you...
Like a beacon among the horizon I will light your way,
Threw the mists of hard times...
Threw the lands of the unknown,
I will save you if you go overboard...
You will never be alone,
Don't be deceived by the temptations...
You don't have to do this alone,
So come and lets set sail.
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
It hurts just to sit here and watch you...
I can see the flames burn you little by little,
I'm trapped behind this wall of agony,
The self pity is unbearable...
Just watching you knowing I can't do anything to help,
This is no way to live...
Please just keep going strong,
Otherwise I could never forgive my self...
If any thing happened to you,
Just wait...It will all be over soon
Remember Who You Are...
And May You Live On.
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
Conor Cleveland Apr 2011
I stand here waiting for you to arrive...
Tonight is going to be the excitement of our lives,
The soft breeze is going, and the moon is shining bright...

So lets give it all we got, and keep going,
Till the Dark is illuminated by the light...
Till the sun rises I will be here one last time ,

I'm going to miss that feeling of being around you...
The gentle nature you always had,
But its my fault I've changed...

So let us be who we are...
And let me dance just one more time~

Before like all the good things do...
~I Die~
Conor Cleveland Jul 2011
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-
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
My mind is gone,
There is no time to waste...
Lets hit the ground,
Its not over yet...
In fact its just beginning,
Time can't stop me...
For its well past that,
The final hour is yet so close...
But my mind can't comprehend,
Its judgment day...
-Surrender-
Conor Cleveland May 2012
I'm done with this pain,
I don't know why I just can't seem to fit,
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.
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?
Conor Cleveland May 2011
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~
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 Mar 2011
I've been around not so long,
But I can pick out the right from wrong...
I don't know whats in store for me,
All I can do is wait...
But somehow I know it will all be ok,
For I have seen some good in this world of darkness...
There are bridges that light up the dark,
I would like to be one of them...
I will remember my roots,
And where I came from...
I won't forget everything you've done for me,
So I will just give it all I got.
Conor Cleveland Jun 2011
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 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.
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.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2012
Come far and wide,
Quickly now as I die,
Let my sacrifice let you see,
The stage is set now,
Watch as they make a mockery out of this,
As I slowly die Ill say my last good bye,
No one can really see what the goal is,
My dream is to spread peace on an world level,
Bringing people together in a utopian slumber,
Let this be the only thing I am known for,
I don't care if I get dragged through the mud,
As long as I know my dreams keep coming,
I looked up to men of greater standards,
My only hope is that our generation can get a boost from the classics,
Let it be know who these classics are,
From Lincoln to Gandhi to King to Kennedy to Lennon, and many more,
Let them be the guide to spread this peace far and wide for the people will see,
Their Eternal Destiny as these men died for the truth.
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
Walk down the path of your choice,
But remember who you are...
Don't show likeness to the demons of greed,
Recall all who have done something for you...
Big or Small It was for you,
That's all that should matter it benefited you...
The Demons are recruiting there people,
But these people are the weak ones...
The ones who would sell there soul for money,
The ones that only care for themselves...
Humanity should stray from that path, and pave a new one,
One of Glory, and the Greater Good...
This will only be permitted by the bonding of souls,
The understanding of others...
And The Determination,
We have this inside all of us...
Even if we have strayed far into the darkness,
Let there be that one guiding light to bring us back.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2014
Candles surround the sacred ground,
A circle drawn nice and round,
A Rams horn burns in the fire,
A Crow calls in the distance a lonely desire,
The spirit of souls resonates,
There has been a twist in fates,
In the fire there is a sight,
When the darkened embers fade there will be light.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2014
Coming down from a mountain Oh so high,
The sun is bright in the center of the sky,
Yet I can see the Raven on the lonely branch,
This has only one meaning in this world,
Somebody's time has come to an end,
The cigarette in my teeth is at another bend,
The sky cried that day,
Washing away the grief with its love,
Then that raven turned into a dove.
Conor Cleveland Jul 2011
Distilled in the body lays the darkness,
Everlasting till the end of time,
Till the days just break you down,
You'll go crazy and call the word pain,
Blame it upon the sky for its the reason why,
Drop it upon the sun for your the only one,
Let it be the stone, for your the one known,
Let this shadow pass by, Before you die,
Give in to your fate, and set upon the date,
Let your feet hit the flames, If your done with these games,
Let it be known that this tune is the one *Evil Plays-
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.
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...
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.
Conor Cleveland Mar 2011
To the grave I hold my tongue,
Like a snake lost into the world...
I drag it on like I'm ablaze,
The power of my mind has finally awaken...
So if you believe look to the sky,
Let the suns final twilight  shine upon you...
For your mind will dive below the surface like a drill,
You need no pill...
Humans make fake things to fill the void...
No matter how you deny you will always lie,
This world is as they wish you to see it...
But its time you open your eyes and see for yourself,
The lies that have been hidden...
This is the }-Truth-{
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 Mar 2011
Time its something we all can't hide from,
Death is just one more thing we can't escape...
No matter where you hide it will always catch up,
But this is the time to live while it's worth it...
Don't take life for granted,
No matter how hard it is...
There's always somebody who has worse,
Some people didn't even get to live at all...
So be free and wild just like your God made you be,
Lets get our fun and energy out in this world...
Before we take our eternal sleep.
Conor Cleveland Jun 2012
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.
Conor Cleveland Apr 2011
If you look and see...
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-
