The mind is reptilian in nature
Shedding its skin each passing day

The hollow remains seem that of someone else
Where they haven't changed, but we know they're not the same.

We slither around in our new found skins
Slowly adapting to each situation
Forever shedding to meet need after need
Sometimes to a point when we bleed

Our skin my shed and our colors the same
But some of us change skin so much we forget our names.
Today is the day, I died inside
My soul has finally broken
Numb and without repair
I lie upon a cold, black bed

The tears that once drowned my face
Have now dried up without a trace
Forgotten with each memory
That composed each tiny drop

Hopelessness is setting in
My heart has grown cold and hollow
I'm diseased without a cure
I wish their was a magic pill I could swallow

Ill be alone for the rest of my days
It's just how it will always be
I'm the killer of my own relationships...
I guess you can call it suicide
This is all I expect.
History repeats it's self time and time again
The faces of lovers now the ones of ghosts
The faces of friends washed out, and stretched
The faces of acquaintances long forgotten

Unwanted feelings come rushing back
Unlocking the true nature of the heart
Uniting present and the decaying past
******* our souls burdening desires

Control of faculties lost from ancient lust
Contact with previous lovers now alien.
Concentration is lead completely astray
Continually history will repeat itself again
Everyone wants to be loved.
Were all searching for our imaginary partner
Women crave their knight in shining armor
While men dream of their glorious queen

We all want to feel the perfect touch
An unforgettable breath on our necks
A kiss that leaves us gasping
And a feeling of warmth that lasts forever

We all just want to let go
And give ourselves up completely
Sharing our mind, body and soul
And just loose control of our selves

Everyone wants to be loved
One day we'll find our mythical partners
Women will find their men shining armor
And men will find their sweet, lovely queens
Some say I'm a child of god
Some say of the spawn of the devil
Others say I got the 9 lives of a cat
Others say I'm as filthy as a dog

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out  
It changes day by day

Some say I'm a child of the stars
Others say I'm the shadow of the sun
Some say my aura is made of gold
Others say its convoluted and gray

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out
It changes day by day

Some say I have a caring heart
Others say I'm as cold as a stone
Some say they'll be with me for life
Others say I'm better off alone.

Pick an adjective
And that's my name
But don't wear it out
It changes day by day
Regret nothing from your past.
If everything from the past didn't occur
You wouldn't be the person you are today.
You were a figment of my imagination
Not the real thing, just a cheap imitation
A lucid dream, I thought I could control
The perfect dream defined by my soul

I miss the calls in the middle of the night
Your passion burning so ever bright
Though now it's just a calm distant light
It's still something for which I need to fight.
