You Say You Are A Gentle Creature,
But You Have Sharp Teeth And Claws To Match,
You Say You Are Unique,
But You Are Much Too Similar To Those In Every Batch,
You Say I Am Wrong,
Is That Your Pleasure?
You Think You Are Incredible,
But You Are No Treasure,
You Say You're Innocent,
But You're Just Plain Mean,
If I Even Look At You,
You Try To Lower My Self-Esteem,
I Didn't Think I Did Anything,
But You've Shown Me Who You Really Are,
I Know I Never Said A Cruel Word,
So Why Did You Choose To Leave A Scar?

When saved is not what is sought
bathing in and relishing the ignorance
blinded to words, numbed to compassion
it would seem every man for himself
none for all and all for none
they will eat me alive whislt cackling
while I lie drowning in tears
sinking deeper than the roots of the oldest tree of life
kneel down and lose the will to fight
pondering why it is I would cry
what would be the point of bounding through the fires of Hell
when they themselves do not seem to care
then a stranger smiles at me for no reason
and I remember

This indescribable, excruciating pain I feel, hurts so bad it feels unreal.
I don't know what to do, I don't know where to turn
It's just too much, it's starting to burn.
It started in my head and now its gone to my leg.
It's too much to bear, I feel the need to swear.
To curse and curse, till it doesn't hurt.
But it wouldn't help, so I will let out a yelp.
Does no one hear me cry,
see me suffering here where I lie?
Am I out of hope?
Is this the end of the rope?
Shall I just put on a strong face, and meet my pain with embrace?
Pretend that I am so alive, when all I really want to do is die.
Act so tough and strong, when I can no longer hold on.
Try to be brave as my body quakes,
and stand tall as my body aches.

The Base Vibrates All Throughout My Body,
The Melody Expanding In My Tired Chest,
My Mind Drawing A Blank--Just How I Like It,
My Lips Forming Every Vowel With Care,
Oh Music Take Me Away,
Let Your Notes Heal The Wounds On My Soul,
Let Your Lyrics Fill My Empty Lips,
I Want To Be The Rhythm That Touches My Ear,
I Want To Be The Tune Which Soothes My Hurt,
Oh Music Let Me Be You,
My Fists Finally Have Something To Hold Onto,
My Heart Finally Has A Purpose To Keep The Beat,
There Is A Reason Inside My Mind,
There Is A Memory In Which I Confide,
Oh Music Thank You For Saving Me,
My Passion Breathes For The Beat,
My Soul Swims For The Story,
I Finally Found The Key,
In The Form Of A Line,
Oh Music *You Set Me Free
