There's plenty of people that believe in God
And yeah, I guess I do too
But I've questioned Him since Paradise Lost
I began to wonder if it was all true
If He was so real, then what's going on in life
When to look around and all that you see
The sickness,  the sorrow and strife
Really, it brings cold sweats in me
So I lay in my bed near middle of night
Pondering away these nothings
If God was so real why wouldn't He show me
Instead, I'm left alone with my thought schemes

My chest just grieves and my stomach should heave
But my smile just creeps to see the bodies in the street
'Cause welcome to the world that you layed at your feet
You can see the sickness in their eyes and the children as they weep
And you're just a fool if for a second you believe
That the fault would be anyone's but yours and me
For herding the young like cattle at the steep
Of the mountain, off the cliff we shove them off with a leap
And a scream of God save me please
Oh lord just give me peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
        And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll        
                 We'll make our amends when we hear the bells                  
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

Can you believe the way we treat these things
Like it's a bunch of stupid trivial dreams
That to change is an impossible thing
Like emotions ablaze and we create new means
To wage war in unconventional ways
As we break apart and fall into seas
Because after we've finished what's left to dream
And in God I just can't believe
So I won't scream God save me please
Afterall your lord can't bring me peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
        And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll        
                 We'll make our amends when we hear the bells                  
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

And what's left at the end, after all has been said
It's just lies that they want you to believe
That the schools and hospitals and trees are all alive
And not just crisp and burnt to a tee
Oh, just inhale the ashes that burn as we breathe
The fires he saw what made your darling scream
Gone are the ways you always raised your child
With the neighbours and family and the dreams
Here is the time that the war is alive
And it ever wants little Steve
They carry your child away crying God save me please
And all you can ask is oh lord just give him peace

And the world will never be the same when we leave our mark
When we break it's veins, and create red rain
The oceans will boil with the blood of the ******
And we'll all be condemned, when we take our toll
We'll make our amends when we hear the bells
The skies will rumble with the cries of man

Her flaws i love
Her flaws i hate
Her flaws make her
Her flaws are beautiful
Her flaws are unique
Her flaws is everything
I WANT HER FLAWS AND ALL

Two people.
Same things.
Such different meanings.

A man walks into a room,
Taking a seat at his chair,
As a woman walks in to another
And sits down on a bed.

He is in a prison.
She, in a hospital.
He has killed.
She bears life.

As his family comes to watch
Hers pile in to the room.
They strap him to the chairs,
They strap her to the mattres.

I.V. in his arm.
I.V. in hers.
And as he screams,
She wails,
Both in agony.

So similar.
So different.

Beginnings
And Endings

Life and Death.

Hand in Hand.

Forever.

I want to watch the world go by until I close my eyes
                                                                ­                           I figure my eternity will somehow move aside
I know I can't assume these things but still I wonder why
                                                             ­             I like to entertain this thought although it makes me cry
I find myself in hot pursuit of wings, that I may fly
                                                                ­                I want to feel the wind caress my feathers in the sky
I muster up the patience but I barely have to try
                                                             ­                         I mitigate the sense of fear that tells me I will die
I turn my head from side to side and speak a final time
                                                            ­                   *I tell the world I want to go but will not say goodbye
