When looking for love leave no stone unturned
When fighting for what you want be an animal viscous and strong
When all the odds are against you keep at it
When looking for love don't forget sometimes it finds you

While you're searching don't forget to stop and looking around it maybe right next to you
When fighting for love make sure you're happy
When the odds are against you make sure the odds aren't trying to help you
When looking for love time is the best healer and tool

Time does not mean wait on them
That's not love
That's lust
Love isn't one persons job it's boths job
Love can't be a princess waiting on a knight
Sometimes that knight just snuck by the dragon so it'll fight their demons

Meet them halfway and see what real love is
Meet them in battle and help each other win
Meet them in hell and climb out side by side
Meet them in happiness and find happiness

When searching for love you must try
You must be able to walk fight and trust them
When searching for love search for a companion not a lover
The last line may seem a tad off but it is not. You are happier with someone you have already gone through hell with. A friend is there before and after a relationship a lover isn't.

No matter how many pills
No matter how strong
No matter the cocktail of meds
I can't seem to be who they want.

I can't be the ideal human
I can't be that model of society
I can't bring myself to swallow their rules
I can't stand up and swallow their pills any longer

I know what they want from me
I know how they want me
I know what everyone wants
Everyone but me

You know what its like
Depression dragging behind you all day
The psychopath in you screaming to gain reigns
The crazy illusions as schizophrenia settles in
The lack of anything as the sociopath wraps you in a blanket
The madness that you've grown to love
As it all slowly takes you your handed a cup with a pill

It is the cage to keep your mind as it is alive
It lets you step outside the hovel of your mind
And lock all those memories and screaming away
A new you

Is it really you anymore
Our reason is based upon who we've grown up as
Why can't we think how we were made too
Why are we to blame when we didn't raise ourselves

The key to your mind was and will never be the pills
The medicine is just a cage to mold you how they want us
The key to our happiness is and will always be ourselves
Its in all of our minds

That sickening depression do what relieves it
The psychopathic beast inside unleash it
The schizophrenic visions embrace them
The lack of humanity that blankets your mind
Let yourself do as your supposed

No one in this world can make you happy all the time
No one but ourselves
We are our own master of mind.
If reason doesn't suit you release it.
Madness is like a comforter when you wake up on a cold day
It will keep you happy and healthy

Accept the medicine if you want reality
If reality even with the cage isn't comfortable come with me
Dance in the madness of anarchy
Let your mind run free
Let yourself be who you were born to be
To all those out their hanging on by threads and surviving with a pill. Do what makes you happy. Be free or be a prisoner. What ever suits your fancy. Just remember there are friends on either side.

After it all I still hurt
After it ended i cried
I can't live without you
You can't live without me
When can I have you again?
I need you
The suspense has me in a slipknot at the gallows
I need you
I don't want to be part of loves body count
I want you to be with me
I need you
No one else
You
Forget family
Forget friends
I only need you
I only want you
No one else will fill the hole in my chest
No one but you
I need you
I need the only light in my life back
I need you back
I want you back
Please come back
I need you
Not normally a lovey dovey kind of guy but someone in my life has me doing it. It feels good to let it out.

I though I was a villain
I guessed i was bad enough
I thought I had no happy ending
No I was just the bad guy then

Now now I am a villain
Now I have a happy ending
I just painted my sad ending black
I stand alone for all to see
They've never seen a war like me
Burning buildings
Breaking bones
Robbing banks
I don't care if I'm in heaven or hell anymore
No it's not over

It's only begun
No son of Sam can stop me
No ones seen a war like me
Come take a seat
Come watch me break through
Through all these norms
I'm breaking through in my war

I'm breaking flesh and bones
It's been sweet
Been fun
You can't own me
I'm a war
I'm no longer just the bad guy
I'm the villain
A **** happy villain

Running again as far and fast as possible
A little hiding place that no one knows about
Sitting down, standing, climbing, running
All the same this is the only place of escape
The last line of defense between life or death
Lying awake in a great escape
The pain goes away eventually
The darkness leaves slowly
The escape only last so long though
So finally going home just to go to the door later
The escape is all that is needed to survive for now
Escape while needed and run tomorrow

Alone again
Another sleepless night
Alone like always
Not completely at least
My only friend sits in front of me
My last hope
It's cold metallic touch soothing
The taste of steel so calming
Squeeze never pull
And I'm gone
Just like that
Not a soul to remember
Not a person to miss me
I'm just another statistic now
I'm just another stain on society now

Lets start a war
The only problem I don't know when it'll end
Step up
Don't call me out
Don't think you can run
It's just little old me
Remember?
It's time we end it
You pushed me one too many times
I'm here to settle it
Like it or not I'm here
Like it or not I'm here to settle it
The soft echo of claps
The haunting sounds of raspy breathing
The stench of sweat
Lets end it
My fist your face
Your face the floor
So this is how it ends
All the tears
all the blood
As your candle flickers out
You end
