Learn How to Bleed
Shane Teter Aug 2012
Give me the answers! I need to SEE!
What it is you expect from me!
A world drenched in disgust!
Greed dishonesty and Lust!
People look to the sky and the ground!
Im looking for something i havnt found!
How do i give them the answer they seek!
It almost seems that my faith makes me weak!
You must know that prayer is not enough!
That Christ was not a diamond in the rough!
His hands were worked to the bone!
Look beyond whats written in stone!
Its no secret that i have my doubts!
My imperfections stand stout!
I am a liar, a thief and a murderer!
Slowly killing myself, i am a wanderer!
Give me the strength to put aside all the hatred!
To lead i need my apathy to be sated!
My mistake was thinking of a one way road!
The truth comes out of every lie that unfolds!
The "Divine" cannot lead in clouded perfection!
My sins have lifted me to vindication!
How will Light ever hope to succeed!
To hope to heal you must first learn how to bleed!

Ballad of the Damned
Shane Teter Aug 2012
Its so bright to be this early in the mourning!
We breath his heir until our mind ignores the warning!
Wicked people feeling free in the light!
Disgusting souls upon this world are a blight!
Quiet priest! do you think god is listening!
To a world that is silent while its blistering!
You only pray because your hearts filled with fear
Do you think thats what he really wants to hear!
My Flesh is burned I wear my sins upon my skin!
Ironic how it seems these demon are my kin!
I Cant condemn but we held hands into oblivion!
Sat by and watched them do all of that and this again!
The worlds bleeding and we Let it run dry!
A last resort we looked upward towards the sky!
I told you once he wont listen to your beckoning!
But he'll reward us with the wrath of his reckoning!
You'd think we'd learn from all our previous mistakes!
Instead we crawl until were swallowed by our fate!
I will smile as the fire reaps the land!
I pray you hear the final ballad of the ******!

Arguing with myself
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Convulsed, Antagonized and Exasperated!

That your drive, your will has been amputated!
I told you tomorrow, We'll start anew,
Its not been tough to just get through,
To just get by, to just live life,
Its easier to lie, to live without strife,
Your a hollow shell built by your own insistence!
A putrid scab of your former existence!
Your not worth it! your not worth the air!
How can you breathe! how can you bare!
To look at life with such vaulted illusion!
You've left me in such utter confusion!
I don’t know how you are so angry,
After all, it was your absence that made me,
No ones here to help hold me up,
No one here, I’ve ran out of luck,
So ill just sit back, let life run its course,
Just let go, ignore the remorse,
I’m done, its time to take action!
This is over, **** your satisfaction!
She held your hand! a visage of hope!
He held you up! He helped you to cope!
They looked at you! a look so beguiled!
Mother and father! look straight at their child!
Don’t bring that up, Its not even fair,
Its such a lie, that they ever cared,
I’m all alone that’s the way it should be,
So walk away and let me be me,
So sorry for yourself when its others you hurt!
Your personality shall break unless you now reassert!
The tears from your mother should bring you such pain!
Your joy ride is over! its time for my REIGN!
ILL BE SCRATCHING AND SCREAMING AND GASPING FOR AIR!
MY WILL REMAINS UNBROKEN, THIS IS OVER I SWEAR!
THIS CHANGE YOU'LL SEE, IT WILL BE SO UNTYPICAL!
THIS CHANGE IN ME! THIS CHANGE WILL BE BIBLICAL!

Unholy Judgement
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Why do you dawn the robe of a judge!
There was no permit, to clear out the sludge!
It makes me sick that its so easy to see!
Its not his word that you eagerly decree!
You drip with lies you worthless ******* fraud!
When did you transcend the right hand of God!
You say they're wrong! You say they had a chance!
To Repent! but still they hold their stance!
I will fight till my very last breath!
To see you recieve the judgement of death!
For your crimes that you commit in his name!
Ill show you hell! Ill deal you your fame!
What you deserve is a robe made of fire!
To burn your words! the truth of a liar!
You beg and plead after sinning against He!
I see the fear as you look up at me!
You say ill join you if i so choose this path!
Hell give you mercy but you have well earned my wrath!
Ill sever your soul, and these crimes youll never recommit!
But now i fall! The essence of a hypocrite!

There you lay
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Do you think that you have hidden your shame!

I bet you wince at the sound of my name!

I made you smile with one simple glance!

All i wanted was one ******* chance!

I was used till my love was extinguished!

Ill scream your name till my hate has relinquished!

The place for you deep inside my heart!

I guess to you i just played my part!

After that day! all the words left unsaid!

There you lay! happily in his bed!

And all i need is that sin of destruction!

silence your voice so my body can function!

I am done! Do your worst! Give me peace!

Have your fun! Quench your thirst! Your a Beast!

Truth of a Liar
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Hmm. seems like reality blurs around the edges of fragile truth in order to let lies breathe out and become the solid manifestation of the perception of your own negligence.

Tell me why!
Shane Teter Dec 2011
For every good memory ten leave me cold,
from all that you've said to me through all ive been told,
I wish that i could find a way inside your head,
to find where your words come from, to find why they are said,
I wish that i could help you, please give me a sign,
... Please, i need to help you, For the last ******* time!
The scream falls upon deaf ears, without a single tear,
But what can i expect.. We hear what we want to hear..

Reflection
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Im black and twisted and wrought with despair

At points my life is no longer there

Rending and bending the thoughts in my head

I wonder deep down when my heart filled with dread

No drink may quench no food may curve

You notice it now but dont have the nerve

To call me that name to brand me alive

In fear that you will see no new suprise

The sun will not rise, the moon shall not fall

Ive waited so long for someone to call

But time stands still till ironic it seems

That time seems to pass only in my dreams

Please say it my dear, straight to my face

Youll all have your turn this isnt a race

That one spiteful word that fills me with rage

That one little phrase thats a key to my cage

But the rage and the cage are a mirror in fact

You see the reflection in which lies are packed

But words arent important so dont be afraid

This picture is me and memories fade

So go now my friend no need to console

The heart here that beats is really quite cold

I bid you adieu for i already know

You think that im worthless so please just go

I know that im worthless....leave me alone

Misery
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Does your hand still fit in mine,

Has our touch just lost its time,

The taste of your kiss lingers still,

The thought of sharing could make me ****,

I remember your scent stained on mine,

Still i lie and say im fine,

The imprint of your body taints my embrace,

The beautiful image of your innocent face,

The breaths you took as you gently slept,

The final night as i silently wept,

The kiss goodbye it still remains,

It will never feel the same.

My Understandings
Shane Teter Dec 2011
My understandings are deep and cold

The ties on my mind begin to unfold

Life’s expectations don’t seem to work out

But I hold them up still, my shoulders are stout

Yet my heart has grown weary, my mind has grown dull

My sight comes out dreary, when my life seems so full

Always an option but never the choice

You hear only whispers but never my voice

Can you see me, hear me, or still feel my touch

I’m gasping and feeling and screaming so much

I twist and pull and rip out my thoughts

Your voice, your taste, your love I’ve sought

When you read this you may think I’m just rambling

I’m sorry but these are my understandings

La Belle et la Bete
Shane Teter Dec 2011
A Beast of a man in appearance and soul,

A silhouette of her memories chilling him cold,

Sitting alone with his thoughts hating time,

Screaming inside trying to shatter his mind,

Immune to pain from his love of Roses,

The beautiful thorns struck vivd poses,

His love was a curse, She laid it herself,

A disease, a sickness, It shattered his health,

It occured at first sight of this beauty, This Belle,

Time had been spent she was treating him well,

His eyes wet with tears, His cold heart growing warm,

Foreshadowing revealed the oncoming storm,

She had to go away with a promise of return,

He gave her a ring and his voice had been stern,

He brushed her cheek gently and said very clear

"Remember my love, Im always right here"

After being home and revisitng her life,

She decided to stay, an unsuspected knife,

With the last of his soul he picked a final rose,

In the dark of his castle where the sun never rose,

Be it magic or hope the rose never dies,

Never to be witnessed by another Belles eyes,

He locked it away, Hidden without fail,

You say youve heard this? An old Fairytale?

I guess it is close. Similar at least,

Look closely my friend.. I am the Beast.

Blinding Black
Shane Teter Dec 2011
Dotted the T’s and crossed the I’s

On the eves of mistakes the truth may lie

Every left that is right and right left behind

You may find the answer while drowning in your mind

They say that it’s darkest right before the dawn

But has the moon not been shining, leading us along

Fire may burn, but it can cauterize a wound

Don’t look so confused it will be explained soon

Contradicting are my words, but clear is my sight

Who are you to say that darkness isn’t light

Silent Tears
Shane Teter Dec 2011
A silent tear, a colorful cry.

A man called queer, he only sighs.

A dyslexic boy, can’t read nor write.

But there are no problems with his sight.

A man with no face back from Vietnam

He saved his friend when he jumped on a bomb.

A pale little girl who wears black and loves night

Has a disease that stops her from playing in the light.

These are people too, do you still think you’re cool

When you laugh at misfortune you worthless ******* tool!

Sin and Destruction
Shane Teter Dec 2011
She lines up, a lamb to the slaughter!

This girl, is someones daughter!

I cant help, the thoughts in my head!

My needs win! They wipe out the Dread!

I kiss deep, Her flesh is my feast!

Instincs reap, As man Becomes Beast!

Clothes rip, She begs me for more!

I breathe deep, The scent of a *****!

Who sins worse? The lion or the lamb!

The beast knows that the lambs roamed the lands!

My thoughts scream,"this is not what you wanted!"

Its too late! The Beast has been taunted!

You know this story! You've lived it before!

You always wanted to settle the score!

She hurt you first but now you hear laughter!

You just destroyed! Your last EVER AFTER!

— The End —
