I painted a picture in my head of me and you
Moving past all the obstacles that we've been through
Love is wicked in as much as cruel
But that wasn't the picture that I drew

I've been painting a picture in my head of me and you
Falling apart as we grew
I fell for you, and got bruised
And now my heart...wished only better, it had knew

I will paint a picture in my head of me and you
Two of us as one, a part of the lucky few
Who finally feels love, and bask in its morning dews
I will paint a picture,........ a picture of me loving you
A painted picture doesn't necessarily have to be what is....it can be what will be.

The darkness is here
It's come to stay,
And with it comes fear
Inside the void I heard them say
We've come for you and all you hold dear
I'm scared friend, i'm scared
Why must the end begin with fear
It's been crushed, that hope for a brighter day
Alas, I am to go with them
To a place, farther than heaven's bay
Friend, I have no reason to stay
For in moments time I will wake
In another world, in another place
The end is here

A lonely night with no stars in the sky
I lay upright on my bed with a smile
I finally did it, took the first step of a mile
Now the journey ahead is nothing short of a trial
Goodnight my love,... its time for me to rest

A lonely land with no soul in place
I would wander until I get to base
My suicide note lies under the vase
With nothing more than a pleading case
Three slashes on my wrist, made me go with ease
And my last thoughts, were of the daughters of eve
Heartbreak causes an eminent goodbye
For now, my lots would do nothing but cry
"To the great beyond" I said "in luxury style"
Goodbye my love,... its time for me to die

Sing a song
For our heroes past
Our wars they fought for long
Our cries fuelled their thirst
Oh young lads, mourn and beat the gong
For death came for them all at last

Sing a song
For our ***** friends
Our pains they felt
Broken hearts they mend
And with their radiant smile
For us they could walk a thousand mile

Sing a song
For our daring mothers
Nine months they strived
Death, they might have bribed
Watching us crawl brought tears to their eyes
And their only goal, is to watch us rise

Sing a song
For our now leaders
Promises they made before gotten desires
Our sweats for cars, villas, and empires
Oh ye children are the leaders of tomorrow
But still, we are inflicted with pains and sorrows
Greed comes with a blind fold, disguising who to follow
But let's just keep calm, and hope for a better tomorrow

I saw her first under the sunlight rays
Her beautiful face, sparkling like a silver plate
On my bed I counted for days
Sometimes daydream and fall asleep late
Crucify me, for her sins I will pay
Oh!, what has befallen me, an ill luck fate??
She stole my heart, and for that I won't cease
To stop calling her the queen of thieves

I did good by the lots of you
You might deny this, even when it's true
I went down to raise you up
Fought against odds, to reach the top
Though the road was rough, we didn't stop

I gave more than I collect
Not a friend did I ever neglect
I tried my best to please them
But you see, that was a problem
Not every soul deserves a helping hand
Not every soul helps a friend drowning in quick sand
I've given my last
I'm leaving the past
And might you deny this, even when it's true
I know I did good by the lots of you

It's dark, it's cold, it's lonely, it's home

Lights turned off, locked in my room
I stare with smiles, at the absence of the moon
I get familiar once again with the lingering darkness
It eases my pain and takes away this sadness
And as I stare into this oblique blackness
I think of bad and all beastliness
Devouring up every soul, giving up no kindness

In darkness, I find solace
In it, I find peace
In darkness, I plead no case
In it, I find me
The darkness is here
And it's come to stay
Do not be scared my dear
For if you're with darkness...there's nothing left to fear
