I thought it was daytime.
In truth it was night.
I was kept in the dark.
Afraid of the light.
I thought I was alive.
In fact, I was dead.
What I though was fake
Wasn't just in my head.
I watched the fire burn.
Never smelled smoke.
Didn't notice the knife
That was pointed at my throat.
Got punched in the gut,
Never saw a fist.
I deserve all I get,
I don't know what pain is.
I never saw through the glass
In front of my eyes.
Put my hand through a ghost
But thought it was alive.
I was alive
And I thought i was dead.
I though it was real.
It was all in my head
In truth it was night.
I was kept in the dark.
Afraid of the light.
I thought I was alive.
In fact, I was dead.
What I though was fake
Wasn't just in my head.
I watched the fire burn.
Never smelled smoke.
Didn't notice the knife
That was pointed at my throat.
Got punched in the gut,
Never saw a fist.
I deserve all I get,
I don't know what pain is.
I never saw through the glass
In front of my eyes.
Put my hand through a ghost
But thought it was alive.
I was alive
And I thought i was dead.
I though it was real.
It was all in my head

That's a lie
Do you see what you have done,
I guess your wicked games have begun,
Let me tell you this, your lies They don't work on me,
You can try to teach me these things that i have condemned,
But I guess we are at war now, let's see who gets the farthest.
I can see you, you were always bad at hiding,
Lets see you dance to the sound of my bullets,
that's what you wanted right, To dance?
Now I aim for the kill, Just... Like....You....Taught me
How far will you get in this game of strength?
Not far, I fire and your corpse drops to the ground,
Motionless..... Perfect
You told me, I was going to be out of this shit,
Now look where it got you, I was a pawn in your war,
YOU PROMISED TO BRING THEM BACK, ALIVE
Yet you lied and lied and lied
using me as a tool and I believed you,
Now the cops are after me,
You left me to take the fall for you,
You never cared, you wanted revenge.
You said we were family,
You said you would protect me,
That was a lie, All of it was lies.
I am sucked into this war,
That I never wanted to be a part of,
well guess what, I won't be.
All your “training” went to waste now didn't it,
that's a Lie as well because now I got rid of you.
Do you see what you have done,

"Thoughts I Think"
When thinking of thoughts
We think we already thought
Out loud we might say
The other night on replay
When we say it today
Maybe said the other day
Now but not before
Before but not now
Forever I will now know
For now I will never know
My thoughts I think
I'm thinking I thought
I think I thought
My thought I think
Don't think of thoughts
You think I thought
When thinking about thoughts before
I thought we should just think right now
I sort of think
I sort of thought
When thinking of thoughts
We think we already thought
Out loud we might say
The other night on replay
When we say it today
Maybe said the other day
Now but not before
Before but not now
Forever I will now know
For now I will never know
My thoughts I think
I'm thinking I thought
I think I thought
My thought I think
Don't think of thoughts
You think I thought
When thinking about thoughts before
I thought we should just think right now
I sort of think
I sort of thought
