Hiding in shadows
Alone and afraid
this thing they have been hunting
Do they know my true name
It is deception pure and unbridled
The trickster and manipulator
Do they even have a clue
This face I have
The skin they do know
Can be shed in a heart beat
And in sight I would go
There is no hope
For this creature I fear
His face a mask
I been hiding all my life
This is the truth
Being that which I am not
But how do you hunt the shadows on the walls
And scare the monster under the bed
Does light free you from this murders dread
There are those eyes
You know they change color
But the rest of the beast can change to another
How many names have I collected on this journey
And how many more need know of my furry
I am that thing slipping in shadow
No claws or fangs
Just a mind and a will to better my foes
You can't fight what you can not see
And I am far out of sight
You think you have one
but only round one in this god awful fight

Let us dance
we know all the moves
Moving back and forth
Shadows and light
This path we have forged
We have moved a thousand times
We know how this song began
we know the songs ending
Around and around we spin
The noise and the light
A drug in our system
How we move against one another
One pushing the other falling away
This dance
It is life
And love
And there is no one I rather dance with
Then you

Watch it all slip away
Failure that old formidable word
Knowing there was nothing
And no hope in the end
Perfect in its form
As it fade

Flawless Failure

Creature
Born to hell
Do you have a name
Did you have a dream
Demon in the shadows
You where human once
Beast of hell what makes you fight
Do the fires hinder or fuel you
Monster of the under world
What is your story
When was the day you had purpose
What happened to your soul
Twisted and black even the flames of hell warm it not
Heart of ice and hard as stone
What brought you to this place
Did you ever know love
Or hope
Not this pain
Oh Demon of the depths what holds you here
With binds so tight and scars so deep
What keeps you in that place of torment
Demon of hell who are you
And in a soft whisper he answers
I am me
And my binds are my own
This hell is home and is all I remember
These hallow walls are my friends
And the shadows my embrace
This pain my reminder
Of a sin I forgot
Of the name I have lost
This is me and all I am
So run, run and never look back
For the things in the dark
May reach to hold you in love
But there arms will smother you
There lips do kiss upon you
But the venom of there love does ****
A monster is a tragic thing
Reaching out with loves hand
Only to wither and rot that which they touch
The worst hell of all is one of loosing the thing you love
Eternal
I am a Monster a Demon
Please run
Before I destroy you

Sanity's lace
Holding me together
It's ribbon stained with the tears of time
Sanity's lace wrapping around me
To the point I can not breath
The thing that binds
I feel its threads
Slowly slipping
Away

Leaving you to what you are
When it is all gone in the wind
And your mind comes undone
And your heart mind and soul
All fly in different directions
When the only thing that lays
At your feet is a silk memory

What will you be with out your

Sanity's lace
