Anyone Else
Joe Standish Sep 2015
I feel unlike everyone else
But I know I'm not the only one walking trough hell.
I guess I; need an angel, or maybe a demon.
It really just depends which one I'm feed'en.
And I have them both standing on my shoulders. One giving me orders. The other is my soilder. And they both talking about my disorders. But I ignore them and blow them off like mortars. So I guess I need to find that shoulder to cry on, the one to rely on. I wouldn't care if she drove an ion or a scion. But she knows that I'm keeping my eye on her. But its really just a fight of surviver. But really its the insider myself the fight through hell. Is there anyone else?

Trust gets you killed.
Love gets you hurt.
And being real gets you hated.

Temptation
Joe Standish Sep 2015
Whether its a brush of your hand or the look in your eye. I can't tell if I'm falling in love or committing suicide. It's this game that we play, each and everyday. In each and everyway. So, don't be afraid; to take a chance with your heart when its feeling astray. I wish you would fall for me, cause I won't tear you apart. Ill put you in serenity I'll play the part. And together we can become a million dollar piece of art.

Secrets
Joe Standish May 2015
My mind haunts me on the crack of sleep.
My Secrets only I shall weep.
Hidden stories that make up me.
How  to  explain  I cannot see,
But with my secrets I am free.
No hope, no love, no remedy.
I feel it all just slip away
Until it's gone, one morning, one day,
But no good morning here today.
For the secrets at night are here to stay
Your secrets are yours to keep,
But know every night when you try to sleep.
It's secrets that keep you awake to weep.

Harletts Lullaby
Joe Standish Aug 2015
No you can't fall in love with a harlett.
She'll tear your soul in two.
No you can't fall in love with a harlett.
Even when you think she's falling for you.
She's got the world in the palm of her hand.
All the boys do whatever they can.
Cause its a ***** world being a pretty girl. With her wants and demands.
So why'd you have to go away.
You use to make a brighter day.
Now when your around I start feeling down. I guess all I can say.
No you can't fall in love with a harlett.
She'll tear your soul in two.
No you can't fall in love with a harlett.
You just end up like the fool.

End of Time
Joe Standish May 2015
When we fight for survival
the people turn to disciple
they never opened a bible
false preaching of idols
Yes, this worlds so vile
as we sit back and smile
or do we sit in denial
I guess we find out on trial
when we come face to face
with the creator of grace
just what will you say?
Are your hands washed away?
Cause every choice has a consequence
like every life is significant
I fight for the innocent
Even though I'm not heaven sent.

As It Seems
Joe Standish Feb 2016
As I sit in misery
I wonder what she is to me
should have listened to the prophecies nothing turns out like it seems
now I'm waiting patiently
breathing inconsistently
will I ever be
anything to somebody
maybe I should take a read
find out what I really need
or is it just an ego feed
Wondering who you're gonna be
fighting for your sanity

A stand against the scrutiny.
Throw yourself upon your knees
Look up and say "Oh, God Please"
as you beg and bargain pleads
You watch your hands as they bleed.
never feeling like you can breath
holding out to succeed
a success that you'll never lead.
A relief that you never receive.
another soul the devil's tease
spread your arms and catch the breeze
nothings ever as it seems.

— The End —
