Dear Lord, help me to notice,
The blessings you bring to me;
For good things, Lord, that you give,
Gratefully, Lord, I thank Thee.

Good things, I have not asked for,
Many still you give to me;
Lord, because you so love me,
Happy you want me to be.

For things that lead me to you,
I give you my gratitude;
For things such as these, dear Lord,
Give to me my whole life through.

I can see how I should live,
With commands to me you give.
And the Oscar goes to, the church members.
Nominated in the category for the house of acting.  
Each week sinners faithfully attend church working under the pretense.

Not fooling many except a few.
Many within church truly aware of you.
So who you fooling?
Obviously, not God.
He sees everything.
And know the truth.

The robber.
The thieves.
The adulterers.


Those that live under the impression of righteousness.
And not living up to God's word.
Even know the false leaders of their very own flock.

What do we see before us in church?
Fake smiles.
Some sincere and genuine.
Then there are those we know faithfully serve and living accordingly to the Lord words.

As I listen to the beats of another wild song
My feet tapping on the cold hard ground
In the darkness I ascend the stairs
Sharp eyes and all spread out hairs
Under the moonlight I let my sorrows out
Drenched in loneliness
I roam around and round
I know my heart is in ruins
The ruin is fun
It gives me pleasure
To be fallen apart
I leave those pieces behind me
And dance on and on
Till those pieces cut me deep
And I frown and I laugh
I'm happy to know I've thrown away a part of me
that will never come back
Shards of memories in my vicinity
I smile I cry
Till I let it all out
And I'm all in ruins,
My body is one,
My mind's out of control
But I think I'm alright,
I'm beginning to blossom
in this silent night
I dance on and on
Till those pieces cut me deep
And I cry and I laugh
Till I transform into light
Something I've always wanted to be
I feel a void
But that's alright
Because I'm no longer in ruins
But I still remember those times...
Words help me feel things I've never felt before..

superxin
useless thing
treated like nothing,
once lost
you'll need it most.
You Build me Up
You Break me down
You sing a song, all night long
Did you really ever love me?

We sit and we chat
We kid and we laugh
I felt safe in your arms
Did you ever love me?

Live Fearless you always said
Yet you sit scared shitless in my bed
Scars are what you left
Did you care?

Deep in thought
All night long
I cover the scars you left in my arms
Did you mean to do it?

My mothers cries
As lay and die
I hear the song you sang all night long
I guess you didn't care that night.
