At the end of autumn
When all the leaves have fallen
Turning the trees into twisted pillars and columns
And the ground looks sick and rotten
All I feel is melancholy and solemn
As I wonder if this winter I will be buried and forgotten
Or if this spring I will blossom

When Everyday Turned Into Never Again

it's hard to lose somebody
       you used talked to everyday
& they aren't there anymore
       so a little bit of you dies
day by day, night by night
       until the face in the mirror
isn't           you           anymore

If you want to **** yourself slowly, don't ever stop loving who holds your heart.

Reasons (Broken Man)

Oh Lord, I am a broken man

I've got a thousand things to tell you
& a thousand reasons not to say them

They shall stay locked within my heart
& never see the light of the day, my dear

Oh Lord, I am a broken man

A Christian should not struggle with suicide
& wake up wondering if today's the day I die

But these demons claw at my head
& they are relentless in their attack

Oh Lord, I am a broken man

The sins of the flesh and of the eyes
& sins of the life I've locked inside

Yeah I have a thousand things to tell you
& I have a thousand reasons not to say them

Oh Lord, I am a broken man

I Took a Walk Today

I took a walk today
One and a half miles
To where I work all day
Walked past a line of crows
Sitting on a telephone wire
Giving me curious looks
Because every step
Was downhill all the way
Like a metaphor of my life
I raged on the inside
Until I got to the office
And got to work

I think I woke up in a bad mood...

Artist

Just for tonight
I want to be an artist
& forget all the things
I try to hide away.

Take a step from my darkness
into the center stage
where all the world is watching
and everything is okay.

I want to paint with my songs
to draw love and life
on a velvet canvas of crimson
& see my work come alive.

I don't want to dwell in this darkness
all of my days & all
of my agonizing nights.

Inspired by something a friend of mine is going through and also from what I myself am going through.
