There's a nameless grave
In St. Nicholas Street
Where no one really knows
What's burried beneath

This lonley site by the sea
Treasures broken memories
Has seen time go by and people leave,
Hearts broken and tears spilled

Tragic, isn't it?
No one mourns this haunted site
The world forgot,
and left it behind

No words on a headstone
No immortal goodbye
No one even brings flowers
To apologise

There's a lonley grave
In St. Nicholas Street
Will you come by,
And keep me company?

Gasoline

Wandering down this empty road
I pray the silence drowns the noise

Got a lighter and a phone
Still noone's answering my **** calls

My heart screams to just let it burn
And everything starts to blur

All the lights go out on me
As I near the end of the street

No angels left to watch over me
And now I smell like gasoline

So off I go,
This is my goodbye, this is my farewell
To the world

Hey You

Hey you,

We’ve been fading in the dark
Chasing nightmares through the night
Our hearts are slowly giving up
But the race stops when we crash

Living fast but burning out
No chance we end this way
Let’s make memories we regret
One last hurrah for the game

Bleeding on the ground
Can you hear the sirens sound?
Turn to fire to ash to naught
Time was always running out

So the finish line is here
Close your eyes and disappear
We bite the dust and say:
"Hey you, goodbye and sorry it had to end this way"

I lost you on a Friday

I lost you on a Friday
I burried you on a Saturday
I cried myself to sleep on Sunday
And faced the world on Monday

Tuesday had me numb
On Wensday I could barely stand by
Did you see me, that Thursday night?
Know I tried, but on a Friday I died

Your Ghost

On an empty room
With a flickering light
I saw your ghost
For the first time

He looked like you
And it broke my heart
To see you so close
Yet so far apart

I wanted the screen to fade to black
I wanted the ink to run out
But he didn’t disappear
and I couldn’t lose you twice

Our dreams didn’t leave
Just because you did
I now bore them alone
knifed deep in my bones

The world kept moving
Even if mine had stopped
When all is said and done
Grief is the price we pay for love

So I went forward
fought to stay strong
Even on those days, months
When it felt like I had lost

It was time to let you go
knew one day we’d meet at heaven’s door
The lonely, untravelled road
Didn’t seem so scary anymore

On a crowded home
With bright lights
I saw your ghost
For the last time.

Abuse

For so long you wish you could have said
something
But you know how it starts,
you know how it goes,
Eventually, they call it

"chasing ghosts"

Woman

I am woman and I handle pain,
I've done it a thousand times over
I never complain

Feel the power you tried to take
You called it meaningless
I call it courage every day

Mine is no forgettable name
So look into my eyes
And feel all my rage

Remember the day
Woman I became
