Silent

We speak without moving our tongues
In volumes that will bust eardrums
In sounds that aren't meant to be heard
We convey emotions without saying a word

Do you feel this old friend
The familiar silence is back again
Or do you fear this old friend
The uncomfortable silence you wish would end

We're crying blood and tears
From expressions that ignite our darkest fears
Drinking the blood that flows from our wounds
As this silence drives us to our tombs

In this world without compassion
Everything seems to be broken
Where everyone shares the same expression
We remain silent but outspoken

I Am

I am
the eyes for the blind
I am
the ears for the deaf
I am
the working mind
of the
brain-dead
I am
the waves of sounds unheard
I am
the picture of unseen sights
I am
the knowledge you never learned
Now watch as I turn out the lights

Hold onto your memories
They're all you got left to live by
Hold onto your memories of me
And never say Goodbye

Omnipresent

I spend hours every night worrying
All these years in pain and I'm still hurting
Don't wanna face tomorrow, life's not too much fun
So I wrap my lips around the barrel of a gun

I cry...but i don't shed tears
I scream...but i don't make a sound
I'm afraid...But i have no fears
I'm everywhere...but i can't be found

You'll see tomorrow and all I'll see is black
I'm finally free from the world and I'll never be back
I'm no longer held down with these hateful ties
I pulled away the last piece of thread that fabricated my life

I'll live in your mind when i cease to see the day
I'll be the one holding your tongue when you've run out of things to say
Put pennies over my eyes and say a prayer for me
It won't be long till I'm absent from your memory

I cry...but i don't shed tears
I scream...but i don't make a sound
I'm afraid...But i have no fears
I'm everywhere...but i can't be found

Demon Speed

What's left to do? What's left to say
When I've got a barrel in my mouth?
Just look me in the eye with a smirk
Please just take me out

Lay waste to this body, feed it to vultures
I don't need a grave
The angels will fly over
and see there's nothing to save

Put an end to this charade
My blood won't rain on your parade
Ease the tension and unleash the beast
It's a 6 chamber, 6 bullet, 6 shot release

My life flashes before me
Traveling at demon speed
My blood will fly
And will wash me clean

Foreshadow

I waste my time while I work
I waste my time while I play
I waste my time while I sleep
I waste my time while awake

I intend to die without...

To die without honor
To die without dignity
To die without valor
To die without sanity

My Birthday

So i survived another year
Another year since i was delivered into this wrecked world
What's there to show for it?
A few more scars, a crack in my heart from another girl

I'll chase down the day with a glass of whiskey
Maybe Ezra maybe Velvet
Two packs of smokes
Surprised i haven't got cancer yet

Another year to make more memories
Another year I'm left to wait
Another year I've survived
Passed my expiration date

In My Hell

I live in my hell
I live in seclusion
It's all a lie
It's all an illusion

Wake up screaming because its all just a dream
Nothing in this world is as it seems

I creep in the shadows
I never see the light
I dwell in the darkness
The darkness of the night

I'm nonexistent in everyone's mind
Rejected and shut out like I've committed a crime
I'm nonexistent in everyone's mind
I'll always be till the end of time

Why must i prolong this torture
For me there is no future
