I stand here waiting
Simply alone in my glory
Swaying in the breeze

As the days grow older
My heart grows colder
I tire of waiting for thee

I once was young
I once loved with a heart so pure
I once would have given you the world

Now I've been left to see
Simply standing
Hoping you'll come back to me

But few come just to see
And none of the few are ever thee

So though I've loved
And though I've cried
Now I know
That inside

I've simply died

Tick tock. Tick tock
The clock is never stopping
Never slowing
Never ceasing
Never moving

Drip drop. Drip drop
Blood is flowing
Tears are falling
Sweat is dripping

Its something horrible that they've done
Destroying many
Not just one

Could they not think?
Not see?
Never understand?

Sitting in a palace so grand
Watching the peons scramble about
Never even pretending to give ****

Now the successors lie to us
Try to appeal to the nothing left behind
Try to force themselves upon us

Can you not see it?
Feel it?
Know it?

Tick tock. Tick tock
Goes the last few precious minutes
Our only chances at recovery

Drip drop. Drip drop
The blood is flowing from a pointless war
Our lives swiftly following....

If you should die before I wake
I promise not the blame to take
Nor dance upon your grave
Or run about and rave

If you should die before I wake
I promise not to leave out the rake
Nor the the scratches uncovered
Or pretend that you were smothered

If you should die before I wake
I promise not to toss you to the lake
Nor leave your body in my room
Or remove evidence with the broom

If you should die before I wake
I promise not to party 'till after the wake
Nor waste your favorite alcohol
Or admit that i hate you after all

Angels by my eyes
Surrounding me
They stay by my side
Waiting for my last breath

Angels whispering in my ears
Hidden in the corner of my mind
Praying for me
My dark angels of death

Angels flying over me
Stretching their black wings
Licking their white fangs
Hoping for my soul

Angels' dark eyes staring
Their darkness overwhelming
Angels feeding on my life
They have stolen my soul

Angels smiling and happy
Soaring away from my coffin
I am one of them
Waiting for another's last breath of life

"You don't need a soul"
She says to me, so sweetly
"Its only in your way"
She whispers, oh so neatly

My brain develops droughts
As I go about my day
These dark and deadly thoughts
They leave me feeling gray

But they way she calls my name
At night when I'm in the grave
Leaves me feeling whole
But never feeling sane

And though she comes to me at night
I often feel her presence in the light
Will she come to me again?
Or will she leave me to my plight?

faster, faster, faster
moving, roving, spinning,
dancing, swaying, flowing,
never stopping, never slowing

stepping this way
stepping that way
always careful,
never ceasing

This dance that we do
Every time we're near
After every breath
every sigh
every laugh
every touch

can you feel it?
our hearts beat louder
our breaths come harder
our bodys move faster
our hands rove slower

touching, feeling, caressing
kissing, licking, nipping
is it everything you wanted?
is it everything you hoped?

moaning louder now
desperate anticipation
arching, screaming, biting
slamming, squirming, begging

exploding into oblivion
Every sense is gone
numbness
relaxing
slowing

Hold me tighter
make the moment last
caress me
touch me
love me

dancing, twirling, twisting
slower now
our steps fading
our moves stopping
is our dance over?

do you care to dance again?

Tossing and turning
Spinning and yearning
Flowing and fusing
Loving and leaving

Does this feel?
Does that hurt?
Does it flow?
Is it dirt?

We're following along like lost little sheep
We don't stop and think
We're so obsessed with being different
We end up all the same

Spending a lifetime playing follow the leader
Calling the ones who branch off a cheater

Like small children on the playground
Playing games with useless rules
"Tag your dead!"
Is all I hear
All I feel
All I see

But I try to change it
To feel it
To steal my own way along the road

I'll take the long way if I can make it my own
I'll see you at the end with a smile on my face
While you wash the blood off of yours

Even if its harder or wrong
At least I can always say I did it on my own...
