She was dark, drowning in her thoughts Couldn't find her way to what she lost She was damaged, scarred from heart to soul Too bruised to remember what made her whole She was in pain, constantly fighting back tears But never brave enough to fight her fears He was young and stupid--a ********* at heart; a self-loathing so strong it tore him asunder The things he needed always fell apart; the things he wanted, denied, leaving his heart to hunger She was a dreamer until life gave up on her Too many demons to battle but she wasn't a fighter She made wishes on falling stars and smoldering skies But she was cursed, the heavens told her lies She was dead inside, yet living within the crowd Her screams for help were never heard, but still so loud He was **** outta luck: the world fresh outta ***** Heart and soul burning--the proverbial candle , and it's it only a matter of time before Xanax fails to give him a reason to even get up It's hard, it's Hell--it's too much to handle, but he's too paranoid to even panic She's too scared to think of how few people care Never opens her heart, she wouldn't dare Confiding in the voices only she can hear Believing the ***** no one gives, outta fear She's dangerous, made too many mistakes It's all her fault she knows nothing but heartache He's alone, he's paranoid; a self-fulfilling prophecy teetering on the edge of extinction A dying breed bastardized by blood and water alike How can he be saved when acceptance Id heresy? They all think he's just pining for the next reason to say, "No more beginnings," and end his life She's lost her will, her strength to survive Nothing's figured out, no reason to be alive Balancing her life on the edge of a blade She gets cut, no matter which side she takes Holding tightly to the sharp point of reality She's lost focus, just walking through life blindly He's a sympathetic tool playing by apathetic rules; it's only a matter of time before he knuckles down No more bitter Mondays--out comes the Saturday Night Special He's living on borrowed time; it's time to pay the dues When you tread a fine line, you slowly come unwound come the realization both sides of the tightrope take you straight to Hell

"Wish in one hand and **** in the other." Your disappointments leave me smothered! Wake up tomorrow - why even bother?! I'm just a drunk like my ******* father! You say there's hope, but it's a ghost A dream you wish to see at the most I guess you can call me, "Skeptic" Not paranoid - just ******* sick Hell on Earth seems to be dawning quick! Just a simple wish upon a star You're abuse has gone too far I'll just sleep off all the scars Another shot of whiskey in my glass Getting tipsy before I kick your *** I just need to calm myself at long last My dreams are filled with too many images of you You're the past and I know that we're through I guess all these demons will just have to do Keep coming back, because I'm a ***** for more I must be a ********* at the ******* core Ptolemy - what's wrong with our souls?! We look past the stars to gaze at black holes! I don't believe and I can never be deceived, for this paranoia permits no bit of reprieve I guess everything is just as it seems - idealized, and finalized - know what I mean?! I know returning to you will only cause me pain I'm no Queen but you're the King that reigns As a lowly peasant, I know I must refrain But there is just something that draws me to you The stars have predicted the truth And I know there's nothing I can do You've moved on, I keep thinking about the past I know the heartache cannot be surpassed I'm just sorry that I ever asked For my final ******* act the stage has just been set: Dead man walking, but I don't have one regret Is it the psychosis in my brain or the necrosis in my veins? Either ******* way, I've never been more sane Head on to heartbreak - let romantics rot Pardon this dead cat, but out of everything I've taught, why was reciprocity the one you forgot? If there's a cure for bad blood, you can keep it Your shit's been sewn so now it's time to reap it

"With the awareness comes periods of days, sometimes weeks, when I have to avoid looking into a mirror. My self hate is so deep, so palpable, I fear I'll lunge at my own image, shatter the glass and cut myself with shards of broken reflection."      ~Jax Teller (Sons Of Anarchy) The mirror reflects images Of past things I'd like to forget Memories project ghosts that faded Long ago after I built up my regrets And that reflection shines through All the different scenarios Of this life that I've lived through And heartbreaks, everywhere I go Heartbreak, heathens, hounds and Hell What wonderful whispers the mirror has to tell I've heard them before - **** - they came from my core Love was the loathing that turned into lore **** the person in the mirror The truth could not be clearer: A monster spawned once the medicine cabinet filled with liquor You hate me? Join the ******* club I'm the ******* dartboard at the local pub Then comes the crashing, the breaking, the cuts and bruises Spectrums of pieces and shatters of truths And yet it all just reflects right back to mistakes from our youth The mirror, just an ugly reminder of shame with all the proof But what can we do? How can we forget? The images of the past can't change how they reflect From another angle we could possibly alter the effect But no altercations can take away the pain and regret I take a walk to distance me from myself, but there is no harbor for demons hiding from Hell I tried my damnedest to become better, but despite how earnest, I only grew bitter Now, being sober just gives me the jitters I can't be alone with the Devil inside I can't change things when the problem is I People see me and they are befuddled I see only a shell when I pass by these puddles Empty, that's all that's left of me Nothing, there's nothing left to see The mirror is blank, a black hole Drained into space, the remnants of my soul Blank reflections shattered against my heart Feeling of hate and self doubt ripping me apart The eyes staring back at me have no emotions Wide gazes and high tides like endless oceans This nothingness is completely consuming me My life, love and happiness have been swept out to sea

Today, a mistake was made Some words were said, my sight went red and my bond with you was severely frayed Now, **I'm ****** Here's something that you missed *you ****** up* I've been betrayed So go to Hell and tell Satan you're a heathen worth hating Today, a memory was lost Some things were forgotten I'm paying the cost and all the love we shared has been tossed Out the window Here's something you don't know **I ******* hate you** I'm over all the ******** So next time you decide to speak my name Remember you lost and I'm the game Today, a truth shined through all the lies in which you relied I can't stand how **I got ******* while you always got the best of me Now I'm enraged enough to say, **** you!"** Yeah, today my blood congealed I sewed the wound shut, but the scar will never heal For this, **I ******* hate you.** and I hope your death hurts a great deal Today, a lie was told As if it was the gods honest truth I can see it all clearly now But what's the use? I'm tattered, battered and abused And I'm blaming it all on you I've lost so much already What else is there to lose? **I ******* hate you!** What story is there to tell? What's left to say? How about this.... GO TO HELL!!!

To Hell With You ~~~ Collaboration with the Marvelous Frank Ruland
As I walk through the rain I wonder to myself "Is there love out there?" I've been through all this pain Life so far has not been fair I wanna find someone strong and good Someone to actually care *Just what has life come to Walking in the rain despaired Tormented by the things they do And now my soul is impaired Need to find something true Freedom from a life ensnared* I want a boy. No, I need a man This lonely life has lasted too long I want someone to hold my hand And sing me a loving song Maybe hold my umbrella too Why is that so wrong? *I need something. No, someone To help me clarify this lie I want a woman who won't run When she looks into my eyes Someone to mend the damage done An angel to quell my smouldering skies* I need eyes of an emerald green With depths I feel in my core The poetic man from my dreams Not like the men from before Who've simply thrown me away And walked right out the door *Wouldn't benign eyes be nice Hands to calm shattered nerves Giving up on rolling dice Want to find my heaven deserved An open heart does so entice I don't think it sounds so absurd* He would have been hurt in the past But I could show him what love means Showing him my heart is my mask And I'm obviously an angel from his dreams I will slowly mend his broken soul That's been battered and ripped at the seams *I will be her saving grace Repair both her angelic wings I have dreamed of her face She's the one whom settles things Her heart I will lovingly trace For as long as forever brings*
