In my mind I already died
lying on an embankment
along the river of time.
I sighed and laughed
because the days spent were not really gone
in my peripheral mind.
Gazing down this hollow road
I see strange familiar eyes staring back at me
glowing behind the trees, hiding to be seen.
My foes are those I've known to trust,
before them, I'm gutted
my misery, it seems, feasted upon
though never feeding the bitter hunger
reaped from them within.
I find those eyes that glower
at me in the pitch of dark
For they are the light I see,
however scary,
They are truth

Tonight I'll sleep again
but will I dream again?
a tale with no beginning
and no end
Always picking up where my
subconscious mind left off
like seeing in the dark
But all these creatures
laying underneath my bed
nightly in my head
Where did they come from?
Kiss myself goodbye
and goodnight each time
I wake up each day
Because I may as well've
died somewhere in the night
Then I see the blinding burst
down upon my eyes
With nocturnal cries
only left
as an echo inside a dream
that once forgotten
Wasn't dreamt

Today I stopped to talk
to a lady named Truth
I couldn't help but wonder
why she looked so familiar
something about her face
I knew I had seen it before
Then I remembered where...
hers was the same as the disguise
worn upon the Lady that Lies

This hurt that lingers
This pain I carry by my side
Sometimes invisible
It chews on my pride
Resonating in my gut
Squeezing from the inside
Burn like clouds of fire
In the chambers of my chest
Now, black smoke in my soul
my eyes won't see the rest
This haunting emotion
It has me consumed
It's just not fair
Reason subsides and my
Heart is doomed

what is a name?
if it can be forgotten
and the fruit of life
that grows ever-rotten
what do words mean?
after they lose their meaning
while our faces still cry and smile
don't worry, don't fear
it'll all make sense, after awhile

I'm Blue
      a little sad too
   that's how it looks from
                                               down here
                                              too
Why, but I do
     regret sinks me too
    all the way to the bottom
                                               where
                                              everything's Blue

Scared to be happy
and used to being sad
Scared of getting hurt
like I already had

Scared of reality
so I stick to my thoughts
Scared of going nowhere
I remain still lost

Scared of loving again
like when I did before
Scared of giving it all
to nothing but a closed door

Scared of myself
always making mistakes
Scared is what I am
but I'll do what it takes
