You held me in the darkness.
We talked away the pain.
I sang the tune without the words,
And filled the sky with rain.

We danced among our manic storm,
Connected at the soul.
Shaking our heads to static thought
From men with hearts of coal.

Even in the stillest days,
An earthquake rests inside.
A rumbling, crumbling, mumbling mess
I thought I'd never hide.

And now I know I never will;
You've shown me the light.
No beauty from the brightest day
Can compare to the dark of night.

Thank you for existing,
For choosing just to be.
Since I'll be infinitely listing:
Thanks for loving me.

No, I won't.

Even though, every single moment
You're in my mind,
In solitude I lie
trying to leave your memories behind

And no,  I won't talk to you

Strings of my guitar
seems to have no delight,
And I end up adding you
To anything I write

And no,  I won't ...

The pretty winter night
Doesn't help me much,
And my cold cold hands
Miss the warmth of your touch

But no,  I won't talk to you

To wrap you up in my arms
All your memories tease and lure,
And all my dried up lips desire
Is to taste the sweetness of yours

But no, I won't

A few droplets
From the spring of your voice
Could heal me up all
And make my heart rejoice

Still, I won't talk to you

Because somewhere I realize
And your actions do exclaim
Whatever I feel for you
You don't feel the same

And though I wish you did,
But I know,
You won't.
Break me down to battered bones
Then stake me through my shattered heart
No wounds you could inflict are worse
Than ways I've torn myself apart

From sleeping with my restless guilt
Awoken by regret
To wasting memories away
Whilst drinking to forget

Then fragmenting my sanity
To diamond shards of pain
So come and take a stab at it
I've tried before in vain

Eviscerate my rotten guts
I've spilt them more profuse  
Asphyxiate my toxic breath
I'd help you tie the noose

Bury me alive with not
But shame and solitude
Spit upon my unmarked grave
I would not deem it rude

For in this dying world I bore
The weight of all enslaved
Yet wore Grim's cloak of darkness as
I reaped the ones I craved

No angels reached my Heaven's heights
No demons breached my Hell
Both gates remained forever locked
Inside my mortal shell

Imprisoned in Pandora's box
No deities designed
No creator gods explained
The chaos of my mind

Just made me to discover how
To understate depression
With all the words I write to you
As overkill confession
