If camera could capture the emotion
You would surely hurt me
To show I am mad for you
But I would makeup through smile
To prove you wrong!!!

I am clear, I am a ghost,
Nobody sees, nobody knows.
You see right through, it's like I'm dead,
You took for granted what I said.
And yet I try to show my pain,
I open my heart and embrace your name.
But no matter what I say or do,
I'm still just like a ghost to you.

I just want a friend, I try to shout,
But you can't hear because I'm so far out.
Everything seems so obscure,
It's like I'm poisoned, and there's no cure.
So here I am, a lonely ghost,
My pleads for you are what mean the most.
But no matter what I say or do,
I don't mean a single thing to you.

My little black rose,
How many times have I held you?
It's the amount of times I have lost sleep.
Twirling you in my fingers,
Feeling your thorns,
Cautiously,
Yet I am still pricked.

I would press you against my lips,
The bittersweet taste stings my tongue.
I kiss you,
But I still can't dream.

You burned so long ago,
From your blood red,
To the darkness that now defines you.
You can't bleed anymore,
There is nothing left to bleed for.

So today I put an end to it,
Lighting the flame,
Lowering you to the fire.
Putting you out of your misery,
Your pathetic existence,
Today I will watch my darkness burn.

Boys and girls of every creed,
Wouldn't you rather fight than believe?
Take our hands and refuse to die,
Come with us to The Outside.

This is The Outside.
It's our world, and everybody bleeds,
It's the place where we can be free.

I am the one with the ice cold glare,
A blink of my eyes can freeze the air.
I am the one with the demon soul,
My heart torn by choice and my spirit unwhole.

The Outside is where we call home,
Once you know, you can never go.

I am the one with the needle in my skin,
Lethal injection brings the feeling within.
I am the one with the opened up arms,
Hope and discretion disguised by the scars.

It's our world, and nobody understands,
But that's okay, we just do what we can.

I am the one with the sightless eyes,
Can't see through my enemy's lies.
I am the one with the cut-out tongue,
Words trying to escape are trapped in my lungs.

The Outside is where we call home,
Once you know, you can never go.
