I'll be back
I'm taking a break
What I need to do
Is put my head on straight

My mind is a mess
of junk and sin
Its full of lust
And terrible stuff

My mind is lost
And outta control
Its thought of crossing many lines
Even death row

Please don't forget me
I hope to not be long
I hope that you
Won't even know I'm gone
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
Ever ******* up?
Ever made a mistake?
Hey listen,
We all play that game.


Something slipped out,
Did the wrong thing.
That's okay,
We all play the game.


The game of being human,
Of living life in haste
The game of being impulsive,
And making mistakes every day.


So don't get down,
By mistakes upon you.
'Cause I know,
You’ve done it too.


So please forgive me
If I do wrong to you.
For when it’s my turn.
For the favor to be returned
It’ll be okay
It’ll work out someday.

I thought we were over
You went on by
And if only you knew
I still love you inside

You left me to cry
On that cold day
You left me to die
And went away

I see you at school
See you at the mall
When I see you flirt with them
I try not to bawl

I always wonder
What to do
If I can’t find
Someone like you

What did I do?
To lose you
Or did you choose to?
To let me go
And leave me ‘lone
In the only place
I can call home
I would give anything
To get you here
So I can wipe your tears
And take your fears

When you’re with them
I hope you see
This is the creature
You made me

This creature of sorrow
This creature of hate
This creature of pain
This creature won’t go away

I want it out
Of my head
So I can go on
And not dread

Dread on the life
That we had why I can’t
Get over the past
I should move on
Move away
So I don’t
Throw my life away
Look forward
Go headstrong
I know God
Will lead me on

And when he gives me
The one so true
They will lift me
From solitude

Then one day
I’ll look back
And wonder why
I am happy inside

Then I realize
If not for you
I couldn’t have risen
From my solitude

So I call you up
Catch up with you
Then at the end I say
“Thank-you”

Wrists of red
Eyes of black
All I know
Is steel has my back

It manifests pain
Into something real
As I run my blood
And try to heal

For this thing
That’s gripping me
Is making my life
Go through this strife

Gun to head
Plans all set
‘Bout to break
This caps head

And on that second
All I see
Is the Lord’s face
Staring at me

He says to me
“What have you done?
Hope you had fun,
But your time is done”

“But if you tell me
You will try
To make a better life
You won’t die”

So you wake up
On a hospital bed
You reach up
And grab your head

You feel the mistake
And you realize
You have a *****

To dig your soul
Out of its hole
So the world will know
God wants all of us to come home

To be with him
Forever last
And now you know
He wants you back.

Government
People
Work
Or games
We are all a slave
A slave to something

Whether we be chained to a desk
Or chained to a wall
Glued to a keyboard
Or let the government make the calls
We are all slaves

What slaves don’t see
Is that there be
Many ways for us to get free

Whether it’s faking a cough
And making a call,
Whether it’s shutting off.
Or taking freedom for a walk

Cause you can be free
Slavery is a state of mind
That is all
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
Ground cracking
Earth quaking
You try to seal
But keep on breaking

You wonder why
We cover our lies
Then we cry
And those lies multiply

But when we unearth
The truth so cold
We bury it again
And cleans out soul

Then we go out
Spreading lies like disease
Thinking that
The world will be free

But if you continue
In your ways
I promise you
You will never see
The world be free
Nathaniel R Horn Mar 2010
You know what you see
When you can’t sleep
You may see the world
As a dream

It may be a nightmare
With *** slaves and all
It may be sweet
Like a dream of world peace

But if you’re like me
All you can see
Is the pain and anguish
Taken on by you and me

I also see death
While blood runs dry
I also see hate
‘Cause wars never die

I hope to meet
More people like me
So we can work together
To reclaim our sanity
I really hope to meet more people like me
