Matthew Jul 2010
A man alone, A man unheard
never to speak a word
He is a dream, a figment
of what he used to be

A man is married, he does not care
She is his to own
He torments her, all the time
An illusion, of what he was

A mirror is broken, a mirror is shattered
Pieces of him on the floor
He is shattered, he is broken
nothing but a dream

He is shattered, he is broken
he lies on the floor
The pieces of him, what he was
before he took a drink

He beats her often, he beats her hard
She is always afraid
He tries to change; He won't change
And yet she wants to stay

"I love him so, I love him so"
Is all she ever says
Beat her rough, beat her hard
So she'll finally leave

You loved him then, you hate him now
You are wising up
He hit you then, you shot him now
You are finally safe

The courts hate you, I love you
this is our debate
They let you free, you go with me
You are finally safe.

I tried to save her, I tried to take her away
From that awful thing
Without a trace, she goes away
leaving me to wonder

I'm hurt again, I'm not suprised
all women are the same
They mess with you, toy your mind
making you insane

My heart is hurting, it is broken
and yet i'm not suprised
I should have known, it would happen
She was only full of lies

She wasn't real, she wasn't real
Why am I suprised?
My heart is broken, **** this ****
I now know what I am

I am an entity; forever  alone
I am simply what I am
I am that shadow, within the night
Never to find my one

I am alone, it is my fate
that I never find my love
I am now, filled with hate
because she left me so

In the dirt, in the dirt
where my body lies
I am forsaken, I am hurt
and yet I am so numb

Because of her, I lost my faith
I will never find my one
****** again, not in that way
I guess I am alone

We are the ones, who lurk in the night
never to find our love
I am the one, who wreaks of death
never to be close

Stay away, so far away
and you will safe
from my hands, my twisted hands
who have pushed you away.

Matthew Jul 2010
I am that shadow, the one who is still lost
I don't know why it's like that
I am that demon, I am that angel
that one who will always be stuck

I am that darkness, that wreaks of filth
you know what it is I mean
I am that entity, that used to care
I was once a living being

I am dead on the inside, I have you to thank
I am simply what I am
I am that shadow, that was once a man
I have since lost my identity

I turned to God, I asked for help
I have yet to find a reply
I am that shadow, that was a man
you make me want to die

Because of you, I feel so lost
you're always on my mind
Because of you, I'm only a shell
of what I used to be

I prayed to God, I prayed to me
none seem to help
I cried and cried, I fell asleep
and now you're in my dreams

I was a man, I really cared
I guess that wasn't enough
I am that shadow; I am that shell
of what I used to be

My sea is dark, it's so deep
I cannot see that light
Somewhere inside, deep within me
I know it must be there

I am that Angel, I am that demon
I always fight myself
Do I love you, do I hate you?
this is my own war

I wanted to help, I want to save you
From what you cannot see
I tried so hard, I tried to fight
But I am no longer me

I harden up, on the inside
to makeup for my loss
Because of you, I am a new me
I feel there's no love

Love is fake, a small illusion
of what we call lust
It's not real, you stubborn fool
you're thinking with your head

I drive my car, I leave my past
I drive so far away
You cannot see, you cannot hear
what I want to say

I am a shadow, I used to care
But now I am a shell
Who am I, what am I?
I am no longer me.

This tree so light, this room so dark
This is out of my mind
Shattered glass; tainted souls
people aren't that kind

They give their gifts and yet they hate
while they pray to God
Save my soul, my tainted soul
Just save me from myself

This room so dark, and yet so bright
it's what you want to see
These rusted chains around my feet
it's a gloomy day

The churches sing out to their God
and yet they don't believe
In his love, and his compassion
for they have all judged me

The blackened windows, their darkened eyes
another Gothic Christmas
Thank you God for this suprise
why not **** me now?

Oh save me now, from your people
hands that are so cold
I'm not Christian; for I am real
I am not corrupt

Thank you God, for this day
another Gothic Christmas
Here's the church, at my door
I cannot believe this

Matthew Jun 2010
A life so dark; a life of illusion
A life that had to be born.
A life unwanted, a life of hate
A life that nobody wanted.

Because you tried, you cared, and cried
Everybody turned away
A diluted life; a delusional life
Another knife in the back.

You are not wanted, you are alone
nobody can ever love you.
You're the embodiment of Grey...
The embodiment of emptiness.

I am like you, for I am nothing.
And yet I feel like everything.
A spinning ball, out of control
All that remains is this Grey.

A demonic past, a lack of future
this is where we are.
A nation falling, my life is falling
As the graves continue to be filled.

The color Grey; a place unknown
A place where we can live.
The life of peace, it can never be
for we can never forgive.

Matthew Apr 2010
You close your eyes and I close my heart
to the things I used to be.
I see your peace, you see my pain
There are no words to say.

I close my eyes and dream of pain
I dream about my agony.
Why do you care if I have changed?
I hated who I was.

Always happy, always joyful
never with a care.
They ****** me over, and you will to
It is meant to be.

You're a ***** without being one
and yet you act so innocent.
I scream to you "Just freaking die!"
And yet you never leave.

Shattered glass; the water of my soul
spilling onto the ground.
It is my blood that you will shed
and yet you do not know.

My mind is ash, my soul so cold
My mind is growing numb.
I'm a zombie and yet I live
Let me eat your brain.

A rock so soft, and yet so hard
everything has a double.
You were kind without being kind
I admire such an ego.

The temptation hurts, it hurts my eyes
I want to rip you apart.
Piece by piece, limb by limb
I **** again and again.

My mind unstable, my heart is black
and yet you see a light.
I am the wolf who seeks you out
for you are my fair game.
