Harsh Truths
You gently fed me empty words
While filling me with physical joys.
Back then the lies seemed less absurd
in the harmony of your voice.
Remember when you made a vow
That you couldn't live without me?
That's the reason why you're dead now
As I laugh at the irony.
You gently fed me empty words
While filling me with physical joys.
Back then the lies seemed less absurd
in the harmony of your voice.
Remember when you made a vow
That you couldn't live without me?
That's the reason why you're dead now
As I laugh at the irony.
I can't decide what I could've done
Surely you wouldn't be this mad
At this thing you've made me become
I can't even begin to act sad
I'm a monster now, a person you can't classify
The worst of this world won't cease
I'm close to murder, but I'd have no alibi
Maybe death by your hands will bring peace
Heaven
Everyone can find a heaven
Depending how well they live this life
A good life can lead to seven
If generous, peaceful, without strife
The feeling of satisfaction
Contentment of a task well done
Engenders heaven's abstraction
Long before life's course is run.

Desideratum
How to tell you in so many words
That it is not you whom I do seek
No, my vision is not so blurred
As what I see before me is bleak
I need my spirit to move my soul
And bring me to a place of ascension
With no need to have to cajole
With no need for dissension
Unknown
We are the unknown...
The ones who fixates eyes upon darkness...
We are the ones who chews on Death's Bone...
The ones who always refuse to confess...
Our evil crimes have been committed...
And the guilt has been far withdrawn...
We are the ones who likes things to be left unsaid...
The ones who always wish to be gone...

One And Only
Your smile makes me want so much more
My one and only, could that be you?
And i would love to see you behind closed doors
But this is way more than too good to be true...
I open my eyes to see your beautiful face
Because youre all i need
I hope you packed a few smiles, just in case
And when i see you, my mind is filled with lust and greed...
Your smile makes me want so much more

But this is way more than too good to be true...
I open my eyes to see your beautiful face
Because youre all i need
I hope you packed a few smiles, just in case
And when i see you, my mind is filled with lust and greed...
Catapedaphobia
I can't jump from a high place..
Otherwise I'll scream in fear...
If I jump I'll be my fright's disgrace...
And the highest fear level isn't even near..
I can't jump from places that are low...
Because I'll cry and shudder at the sight...
I guess you could say jumping is my foe..
Maybe your right because it sure gives me a fright....
I can't jump from a high place..

The Homeless Man
His pockets are heavy with dreams
His stomach is hungry for bread.
He'll never learn to feel the greed
that would certainly get him fed.
When he finally rests his eyes,
It will be for eternity.
And if you ask if anyone cries,
The answer will be nobody.

The answer will be nobody.
