In the silence of night you linger
In every single dream
1,000 times I have loved you
And wonder if you’ve loved me

No one paid no mind
To the tears from this man
That land at my feet
Creating a quicksand
I couldn't slow the rate
At which it would expand
Leading to the scars
At the base of each hand
I know what you think of me
But this wasn't part of the grand plan
I tried and as usual
I was not able
To help you understand
That I just wasn't capable
Of being a "real man"

Fingertips
In  doughnut jam
I licked my lips
And it began

You came up slowly from behind
And moved serenely to the side
I held my breath
And you did say
It’s for your soul
That I do pray  

The devil in
the machine

I heard the crowd roar
And then they clapped
And wanted more

Foolish games
Wicked spells
The youth I own
Had left as well

Now stand I
A foolish fellow
Who wishes
More than ever
That Id stayed mellow

But no I jumped up
Ready for battle
My armour made a mighty rattle

I saw you off
You I will slaughter
Now keep away from my daughter x

He walked a path that darkness forged
Weighed down with forbidden dreams
Each painful step reminded him
Of the sins that lay within

Darkest heart and eyes so dull
No feelings can ever bloom
For once was a man so pure and true
Now plagued with evil ado

Voices seem to mock him now
As they call deep within the wind
Sold the soul that was not loved
For a promise never knew

Broken by the fate of hell
Destined to walk alone
Gave everything in good faith
Now pay the price of foolishness
And walk forevermore

When you stop needing someone
It is not that you want to be alone
Understanding that if ever you have to
You'll be fine on your own
There is undescribable freedom attached
No-BIRTHED by solitude
There absolutely is no greater power
Than peace in mind when you self-seclude
The most effective weapon held in your defense
To fight pain and heartache
Is learning the talent of being by yourself
Everyone else is unprepared for the break
