Living in fear
Remember who you hold dear
The ones that let you down
Will only do it again
Don’t avoid the words
The actions of those who care
The lies from the ones who don’t
Know the only reason they have
To get close to you
Ego trips.
Cherry pickers.
Nothing but insecurities
Every aspect put up for the
World to see
Don’t judge those who keep far
They know best
Till the day they come to see
Come to live like the rest.
Nothing but gratification.
Loss of love
Loss of soul
Empty thoughts
And nothing but keepsake hearts
Internal clocks ticking
To announce the day that will come
Sooner than later
And everyone will see the real truth
Beneath all their talk
The end of the show
Surprised no one showed for the
Curtain call?

I'm done with sin, I've payed my price.
My thoughts are clear, yet no longer suffice.
I've stolen your words, not once did I think twice.
If you could only get them back, boy wouldn't that be nice?
Sorry son, now drugs are your only vice.
Maybe next time you'll learn, for now roll the dice.
I may have mislead you, my information was not concise.
Few times before, have you taken my advice.
In anticipation, you've payed the lower price.
Never have you learned, my heart not but an mechanical device.

A serious medical condition could not keep me away.
It doesn't matter what disease carry those cats that run stray.
I've got bigger problems than those seen only by day.
With no other way to show them, maybe I'll mold them of clay.

You're not superman.
But for you, my admiration is grand.
I'll spread my fears upon this land.
Reverberating sound like a lifeless fan.

If this someday becomes a cult,
It's not but my fault.
Nothing was to result,
Though we can't forget anything nor exult.

I can no longer keep it here.
My thoughts seldom cohere.
His words in and out the opposite ear.
At some time, was this world clear?

Did you say No, or did he?
The man inside you,
Or the one leading me?
The way you say I,
Is the way I say you.
If you get past your ego,
Be sure to let me know.

in the graveyard of lost souls,
lies the lives no one cared to hold,
maybe the fear was too much,
or we just didn't care enough,
but it doesn't matter now,
they're gone forever, but how?
were they exiled by the one they loved,
perhaps ****** by the one above.
most will be forgotten,
all are left for rotten,
if you'd cared sufficiently,
their lives may not have ended so abruptly.

In time we all get what we want,
For now, it's limited to what we need.
Want is not but a desire to possess,
But how long will it really take
To get something you long for?

To be the person you despise,
Would mean praising the ******.
Never come close to the point of attack,
For all you know, it's just a hex.
Be not afraid of the curse, it's not of your concern.

Because I can.
And I will.
No wind can be strong enough.
Forget the nights I lay awake,
There's more at stake than logic.
Understanding a different world,
Where people could live
And seldom have to lie.
Only to protect yourself
From the inevitable.
The bad is coming.
But the worse has passed.
