Left behind
But not forgotten
So much to say
But I'm not talkin

Feeling alive
in a world so dead
Everyone keeps quiet
With much to be said

The words on the lips
Of silent mimes
Ticking of the clocks
That run out of time

Waiting on something
That just might happen
Though its not funny
I'm still laughin

Waging a war
That has no sides
Where many innocent
Lay down to die

Through the silence
The lies could be heard
I listened to them
But didnt hear a word

I knew the truth
It was right in front of me
I just couldn't make
The other people see

They ran toward a light
That flickered and died
And more lies were said
To keep them occupied

I ran the other way
Ready to sacrifice
In search of all the things
That are good and right

This is the world,
The way we live.
Begrudging and angry
To not forget or forgive.

I'll not say that
There is no peace
But for us
Its just out of reach.

Curl in a ball
And let it all go
Forgive me please
For the anger I show

Hear him cry
And feel his pain
Shut it up
But hear it again

See the tears
Stream down his face
Save him please
From his disgrace

Crunch your fists
And beat your head
Yell real loud
Or scream instead

The wrongness of it all
And how unfair
Because he's alone
No one is there

Hear his confusion
And reach out to him
But he's beyond it
He can't win

Walk away slowly
Frowning all the while
Because you know
He can't smile

I don't really know anymore
What it is you are looking for.
I can't say what you see
Is the person inside of me,
Because I don't know who I am
You don't really give a ****.
I can put on a smile,
But the truth will be awhile.
I can put on a show,
Even if I wanna let it all go.
I'll always act tough
Even when I've had enough.
I'll act real sweet and peachy keen
After all I'm your machine
Give me a command
One easy to understand.
I can make you laugh
But of me I only give half.
I can also make you cry
It's so easy to tell a lie

I'll give you many emotions

But you'll never have my devotion

I'll perform a charade
You won't know I'm afraid
I'll give you a wink
But in a blink
I can turn away
So give me a line,
Don't worry I'm fine
There's always another day

It seems that I can never win
Life's hard for a Harlequin.

He always lies to me,
But still I don't care
Because I feel safest
When he is there

He steals everything
And he's stolen from me
But I can't live with out him
My friend, my enemy

I never have liked it
Though I don't say a word
Even though most of the time
I really get hurt.

Lo and behold
The person I have said
Has left me twisted and broken
And wishing I was dead

He doesn't quite know it
That's my fault I guess
But when he does these things
I live a little less

Usually it wouldn't matter
Which really makes me wonder
But he is my lightning
And I'm his thunder

He is my best friend
My savior, my pair
Though he does hurt
I always want him there.

There is more to hear in nothingness
Than there is to hear in somethingness
Listen to the silence
You hear a heart beat.
Silence is nothing.
Its not real.
There is no such thing.
Just like everything is a something
Because even nothing is a word.
Space is an illusion
An expanse not discovered
by greedy nations or clever minds
trying to be genius
when they are actually dumb.
Reality is a complex outlined by fantasy
Fantasy is real but only to your own mind
because who else could know
but the person who made it up?
Normal is just an excuse
To make your life a cliche.
Every trend ever made has ended.
Comebacks are long in coming and fast in going
But you'll always be there won't you?
Waiting for the next one...

Ignorance is bliss,
Its what keeps us alive;
Because if we knew everything,
I don't think we'd survive.

I once knew it all,
I was as smart as they come;
But it wasn't until I was wise,
That I realized I was dumb.

Knowledge is power,
But presence is key;
Because without existence,
Nothing would ever be.

I live and I laugh,
And love most of all;
Because without those,
Mankind would fall.

So do what you can,
Say whats on your mind;
Cuz its really sad,
That you could run out of time.
