You
There you sit, with nothing good to say
All you can do is belittle me, to try to make me stay
You say I will never make it on my own
You tell me that I will never survive away from home
But what do you know?
All you know is how to change the channel to a new show
So tell me, what reason do I have to listen?
When you keep everything locked up like a prison
You won't shut your mouth and let me speak
And cut me off, calling me a freak
You might be engaged to my mother
But I obey her, and no...
All you can do is belittle me, to try to make me stay

So tell me, what reason do I have to listen?
When you keep everything locked up like a prison
You won't shut your mouth and let me speak

Finding My Way
I was trapped in a never ending maze.
Running through life, almost in a daze.
Surrounded by an ocean of doubt.
Unable to break free and find my way out.
It felt as if it would never end.
Like there was a hurtle at every bend.
Another problem to keep me back.
Lost and unable to get on track.
Just when there was nowhere to go
A light in the darkness began to glow.
Leading me through this twisted maze.
And clearing the fog from my gaze.
For a while I was lost
Unsure of what paths I had crossed.
Wondering aimlessly, through...
Running through life, almost in a daze.
Surrounded by an ocean of doubt.
Unable to break free and find my way out.
It felt as if it would never end.
Like there was a hurtle at every bend.
Another problem to keep me back.
Lost and unable to get on track.
Just when there was nowhere to go
A light in the darkness began to glow.
Leading me through this twisted maze.
And clearing the fog from my gaze.

Unsure of what paths I had crossed.

Change
I was innocent
Only a child
Blissfully ignorant
Running untamed and wild
I was carefree
Getting amusement from cheap thrills
Happy as any child could be
Running barefoot through the hills
But somewhere along the way, I changed
That blissful ignorance abandoned me
As my life was rearranged
And my eyes opened, allowing me to see
I witnessed violence, betrayal, and hatred
All things that as a child went unnoticed
And I learned to be careful where I tread
To hold those precious memories the closest
And now here I...
Only a child
Blissfully ignorant
Running untamed and wild
I was carefree
Getting amusement from cheap thrills
Happy as any child could be
Running barefoot through the hills
But somewhere along the way, I changed
That blissful ignorance abandoned me
As my life was rearranged
And my eyes opened, allowing me to see
I witnessed violence, betrayal, and hatred
All things that as a child went unnoticed
And I learned to be careful where I tread
To hold those precious memories the closest
And now here I...

A Caged Bird
A bird trapped in an iron cage
Knows only sorrow and rage
Singing of what it will never know
While the free bird sings of the sun's golden glow
A caged bird can only dream of being free
To imagine being able to perch in the grand oak tree
While a bird, unconfined and able to flit through the heavens
Knows such as life, instead of inconceivable legends
A bird free to soar unchecked
Knows nothing of the cage's effect
They know only the freedom of the sky
While the caged bird cannot fathom what it's like to fly
I am...
Knows only sorrow and rage
Singing of what it will never know
While the free bird sings of the sun's golden glow
A caged bird can only dream of being free
To imagine being able to perch in the grand oak tree
While a bird, unconfined and able to flit through the heavens
Knows such as life, instead of inconceivable legends
A bird free to soar unchecked
Knows nothing of the cage's effect
They know only the freedom of the sky
While the caged bird cannot fathom what it's like to fly

Nothing To Fight For
My life is a war zone
I've been beaten to the bone
I have no reason to continue to fight
I have forever lost the light
My heart is a black abyss
Touched by despair's poison kiss
It lays torn and shattered
So why continue, I've lost all that once mattered?
My pride is lost in an ocean of doubt
I have no reason to scream, no reason to shout
No reason to hold my head high
So why stay, when all I want is to say goodbye?
There is nothing left for me here
So on this ledge I face my greatest fear
Can I bring myself to jump into...
I've been beaten to the bone
I have no reason to continue to fight
I have forever lost the light
My heart is a black abyss
Touched by despair's poison kiss

So why continue, I've lost all that once mattered?
My pride is lost in an ocean of doubt
I have no reason to scream, no reason to shout
No reason to hold my head high
So why stay, when all I want is to say goodbye?

Friend
Looking into your eyes
I can't help but realize
That even through all these years
You've never once led me to tears
When everyone else abandoned me
You were there making it possible to breath
And when I was broken and in tears
You were there to chase away all my fears
Though you only stayed a while
Your words still make me smile
All the memories of you I hold dear
They help to carry me through the year
As the darkness begins to surround me
Your words are the light allowing me to see
I feel free, almost as if...

Alone
You stand wounded and alone
Misery is all you've ever known
Berated by the constant glares
Knowing how much no one cares
You took a chance, took a fall
Set yourself up, only to fail
No matter how you try, it all ends the same
Pride wounded, and yourself to blame
All you wanted was a friend
Someone who wouldn't just pretend
But all you've received is a knife to the back
So many times you seem to have lost track
When will you finally come to realize
That the world is full of lies?
People will deceive you, just to watch you...

Fight Against Time
My last mistake, the choices I made
All reflected in one sharp blade
I stare in the mirror with myself to blame
All of my secrets silenced by my shame
I kept bending until I finally broke
On this grief and sorrow I begin to choke
All these bottled emotions trapped inside me
As I'm left with misery to keep me company
I tried to go back, to rewind
And clean up the mess I've made of my mind
But I've exhausted all emotion
Attempting to stop any forward motion
I linger on this edge as the clock ticks my life...
All reflected in one sharp blade
I stare in the mirror with myself to blame
All of my secrets silenced by my shame
I kept bending until I finally broke
On this grief and sorrow I begin to choke
All these bottled emotions trapped inside me
As I'm left with misery to keep me company
I tried to go back, to rewind
And clean up the mess I've made of my mind

Mask
I pretend everything is fine
So no one knows this smile isn't mine
I hide behind a mask
Keeping my pain hidden from all who ask
This mask hides my sorrow
And gives me a smile to borrow
Sometimes it all seems like a dream
That no one can see past my clever scheme
How did it get so bad? When did I become so blind?
When did I construct a mask to hide behind?
Confusion, pain, and fear lie behind its eyes
Peer deeper into its gaze, see beyond all the lies
I wear a mask, isn't it beautiful?
What grins and lies can never be truthful...
So no one knows this smile isn't mine
I hide behind a mask
Keeping my pain hidden from all who ask
This mask hides my sorrow
And gives me a smile to borrow
Sometimes it all seems like a dream
That no one can see past my clever scheme
How did it get so bad? When did I become so blind?
When did I construct a mask to hide behind?
Confusion, pain, and fear lie behind its eyes
Peer deeper into its gaze, see beyond all the lies

Kiss Away The Pain
She kissed the scars upon my arm
And whispered to me gently
Please stop, don't do any more harm
All I could do was stare silently
So many thoughts rushed through my mind
Why does she care? why does it matter?
Will she be there the next time I shatter?
Her sweet gentle voice pulls me from my reverie
I pray silently this won't become just another memory
I look slowly into her loving eyes
And begin to wonder, can she see the deepest darkest part of me?
The small piece of my soul that screams for death
...

Broken Wings
Wings of wax will melt and fall apart
But what if they are a true reflection of what's in my heart?
Weak, easily discouraged, and without pride
My escape to freedom denied
I can never spread my wings and fly
I will never know the feeling of the sky
For these broken wings keep me grounded
And trapped with the memories of how they once sounded
They used to be so beautiful and proud
But now they hang around me like a black shroud
Reminding me of my once known glory
And how this is just another...

Payback
I will bring the pain
As I leave my marks upon each vein
You took your time breaking my heart
Now it's my turn to tear you apart
I will give you a taste of shame
Because your life is nothing but a game
And no matter what you do
There will be nothing left of you
I will slowly crush your pride
Your pleas for mercy will be denied
You are the same loser you were before
And you will never be anything more
I will keep you in this cold embrace
And watch as you slowly fall from grace
You destroyed all hopes and...
