Please don't do it
I am ugly and show you my outer roughness
You peel my first layer and reveal a little of my inner self
your gaze burns my fragile skin
you continue peeling
getting deeper
I defend myself, but it makes you cry
It pains me to see your tears
But I must protect my self
i can't reveal my feelings
your finger warm on my bare skin
and you dig your nail and begin to peel
my last layer sheds with ease
and finally my core is there
you see my true self and do not flee
I finally understand why, you love me enough
that you'll always stay with me...thank you!

Dark room full of loud whispers
" man i wish i would have kissed her"
ryhming outta place because the fool forgot her
" maybe i should diss her?"
Thoughts of past thoughts and pounding hearts
" i had a couples chances"
Now the love is cold and dark
" I probably looked like an Amateur"
This is the last time i behave gently
" why cant women see the good in me?"
I always seem to mess it up
" should have showed her my poetry"
Tired of being the most confident shy guy
"maybe take her out to dinner"
I watched too many romantic movies
"i'll send her some flowers"
Jerks win the love by showing none
"They'll be in and out within an hour"
Giving up these endeavors
"Of course my tone is sour"

I hear the empty songs of my people
I recall a sense of imprisonment
Their will power whipped from their very bodies
and the strength they had, used to work to stay alive
such terrible deeds, such awful sins
all for greed and laziness
the oppression of a race
and the birth of a country
I remember..... oh yes very well
I remember the birth of this great country
built by a broken people

Close your eyes my love
You needn’t see this
I’m falling apart at the seams
And begging for a kiss
It was all from a wish inspired by our last names
We can’t fight them all, we will die in vein
So please ****** my ghostly guise
I have no means which to deceive your eyes
And I can’t let them meet mine
I need you to not witness
As my broken heart diminishes
And the being you knew vanishes

My heart is cracked, blackened by
the things my eyes were unlucky enough to see
Slow blood, a result of a fast life
to young to understand, to old to cry about it
was the excuse I was force fed
now my hope's dead and hatred is bred
where a dead man's head rolled
and took my innocence with it
I can't close my eyes anymore
I can never un-see it.

I was covered in the mud of depression
buried in the river of sorrow
hidden from the truth for so long
taught to just lay around
do nothing
and became a part of the sad category
Known as the rejected
till she came along
and saw my inner beauty
she shined me up
oh, and what a shine it was
I glowed with life and love
and finally had a belonging
until she found another muddy rock to shine up
and put me in the box with all of her other shiny rocks
I was now a slave to her love
another fool to be tricked
by her mastery
I was am no longer a reject I now belong to a different category
I now belong to the.......heart broken

The people, they smile
The evil they seek
The Guard, He cries
The secret he keeps
The King, he laughs
The people are fools
The God, he sleeps
Caring not what to do
The guard steps aside letting in the dogs
And the pain has arrived
The land falls apart
The lives all gone to waste
The god spits
trying to get rid of the foul taste...

I know ****** is a step to far
And yea i got jealous in that bar
But i need you to drown all my love
Set blaze to the angels far above
That sang the first time i saw you
Crazy is the lengths the heavens have gone
to Just to see me fail
Building me higher and higher
Knowing i wouldnt prevail
But as my blood runs dry and my face goes pale
I pull enough strength together to go away
And my breath is dust as i try one more confession
Well its over no more stressin
You find your love and send back good news
And if you find it then ill know its true

Feel the sun heat my very essence
Some how my love is still here
I thought i left it...
In that other life and that different body
When I wasn't the only one trying to stop me,
Back when the glass was new
Now all my pieces are stuck tight with glue
I know it's my fault for giving you a key
Never thought it would lead to this breaking
My heart, I hear it and I am sad
I cant let it out, it gets broken to fast
I guess that's what i get for being made of glass

Strings from a symphony
Each note begs for sympathy
I know I'm your my enemy
but show a little mercy
I bear little gifts
But the harvest was immense
Dry lips and sweaty palms as I approach the alter
I try to drank but i cant bear the sight of water
"when did you leave?" i cry from my knees
And the only response is that little breeze
"why do you hate me?!"
"we are not the same you cannot relate to me"
The silence hurts and this person is a terror
Ill come back another day
...Back to the Mirror

When I hear the words I say the meaning
When I hear the devil I speak the evil
When I see the sights
I draw a picture
When I see the angels
I paint a portrait
When I want some peace
I write my world
When I want to leave
I type a book
When I kiss your lips
I feel the love
When I want to live
I give you my all
The devil is a liar and we all listen
The angel is here but never even mentions
The sorrows of our world that he can heal
He just watches as we let our lovers ****

I've seen this one angel hanging in town
she dances and sings and spreads happiness around
she's kind and funny and unique
She bathes me in light every time we meet
She grips my hand and walks with me down the street
this angel isn't mine, but she knows what I need
she knows my angles and shows them to me
she read the lines that I am hiding closely
she heats me up and melts me slowly
She brings  the light when the night is lonely
And when I look at her eyes I swear they're glowing
I know they're knowing I can see her probing
It's not easy hiding from these angles she's bringing
I want to speak, but the words are tainted
My brain is jumbled and my thoughts scream faintly
I know I'm being a selfish brat
Is it my fault that I can be myself with you?
Is my my fault that your essence is addicting?
what angle do I need to see to see you being an angel over just me?

Heavy winds push me into the sea
High waters try to capsize me
I adjust my sail, travel closer to the storm
Looking out at it, I she isn't the norm
I know that this hurricane is made for me
The hurricane washes away all my doubts
It forces me to face my fears and dream about
All the things that could be with me and her
I know she doesn't mean to drench me
As I approached her first
She's trying her best to be a subtle rain
But I see it, she's a hurricane just the same
I don't fear her powerful gust
I know advancing for her is a must
I can her eye is fully just
And when she gazes on me
I know I can't give up
