f**k Society
Fuck society for putting me down like a rabid dog
Go to hell with you’re so called “beautiful people”
Nail my hands and crucify me to your social cross
Call me names and use your words like knives to cut me
I like the pain anyways. A freak of nature, a creep
Call me ugly, as you strip away my gothic attire
You think I give two fucks about your opinion?
I’m not “cool” if I don’t join your little clique?
Fine, fuck you, because I’m my own man
What? You thought you could sway my emotions?
Like a marionette, dancing away to your command? ...

Goodbye Childhood
Suffocating on the sands of time
Reflections of the past fade in the glass
The hands on the clock come to a close
I have no more time to live this life fully
Constricted by the confines of work and school
I have never tasted the fruits of living
The faces of old friends become a blur
I have let the light burn out on my childhood
Grown up to fast, letting my innocence bleed out
All those memories I could have made
And those things I had a chance to say and never did
I told myself “no you need to focus on your future”
Now I’ve grown up and the...

Kicked To The Curb
You kick me down yet again
Blow after blow I fall to the ground
The sounds of bones hitting cement
Pleases and teases your senses
How much blood do I have to spill?
How many tears do I have to cry?
Does it take to make the pain go away?
I beg for mercy but there is none
Your need to hurt is too great
Yet still I yearn for your love
I told you I wasn’t perfect, no one is
But you ignored that, be a saint instead
But how can I when you’re the devil incarnate
There’s no rest for the wicked as you
Continue kicking, punching,...

My angel
Why do you fight for me, why do you stay?
Like a mother protecting her child
I am a burden, a shame to your presence
I will only bring you down, failure after failure
You don’t want this, you don’t need this
You have a full life to lead, I have an early grave
I didn’t know what unconditional love was
Not until you showed up in my life
Took me by the hand and dragged from the depths
I’m not worthy of the sweet caress in your arms
I’ve been living a life with no regard and discontent
A rebel without a cause, a rabid dog
Why would you want to...

I Wasn't Worth Her
My self-conscious speaking to myself*
You weren’t worth her Mike, it wasn’t your time
Look at her, happy in his arms. You could never do that
If she knew how you felt it would have ruined your friendship
You did the right thing for once, leaving her alone, you did her a favor
All you are at best is a blue collar hero, barely getting by
She wouldn’t tolerate a life like that; you had to let her go
She was never really yours to begin with you know
Sure you had intimate times and you knew too much
Anyone can understand why you feel the way you do ...

Goodbye Mind
Hello mind, what are you up to?
Me? Oh nothing just polishing this pistol
What am I going to do with it you ask?
Oh well I thought about shooting you with it
Why you ask? Because you won’t leave me alone
Every time I resort to thinking it’s a constant battle
I’m sick and tired of you leading me in no direction
Should I get this job, should I change my life, what should I do?
You write me a list of pros and cons but never a clear answer
I talk to my heart, but he can’t help because he’s broken
You’re so full of fog that a San Francisco sunrise would look...

Was It Worth It?
So tell me, was it all worth it?
When you decided to take a shot to the head
What were you thinking, are you glad that you’re dead?
What is it that you see behind closed eyes?
I hope that you can see me and the ones you left behind
This gruesome scene of torn flesh and blood puddled on the carpet
Left with a crumpled note that only answers some things
I stand over your body absorbing this whole picture in
But I can barely make anything out with these blurred eyes
Wondering what I could have said or done I guess it’s too late
A soul that was in his...

A Mistake
Help me, someone please help me
Before I cut in too deep
I’m bleeding, can’t stop the bleeding
As I watch it drip from my arm
Smiling, the pain makes me smile
Holding the blade up to my face
Darkness, the light has faded from my sight
Closing my eyes for the final breath
Sorrow, the sound of weeping sorrow
From the eyes of a mother on her baby’s grave
Salvation, something I wanted and never found
I guess this wasn’t the way to do it
Dirt, my hole covered with wet dirt
My new permanent living space
Regret, a constant feeling of regret...
Before I cut in too deep
I’m bleeding, can’t stop the bleeding
As I watch it drip from my arm
Smiling, the pain makes me smile
Holding the blade up to my face
Darkness, the light has faded from my sight
Closing my eyes for the final breath
Sorrow, the sound of weeping sorrow
From the eyes of a mother on her baby’s grave
Salvation, something I wanted and never found
I guess this wasn’t the way to do it

Ode to Jack Daniels
I used to look out my window and wonder what they say
The ones who said they loved me and left me to die
I could feel the cold creep in again slipping through my jacket
My eyes would close in a dreary fashion as I look to my friend
“Hello Mr. Daniels, it’s always a pleasure” I say with a grin
As I rip off the plastic lid the only thing between the bottle and I
I savor its rich flavor and let it envelope me as I drink
The fire of its 80 proof burning down the inside of me
I think of all the times it’s been there, for deaths, birthdays, heartbreaks ...

The Unkept Promise
Inside I have these feeling torn
When I had you I felt reborn
When I lost you, it all caved in
I retreated to my old sins
Half of me wants you back badly
The other is filled with hate so madly
I take these pills so I can sleep at night
So there will be no demons to fight
I write down my feelings so no one will see
The future of me and what ill be
I hide behind a clever mask
it has become a difficult task
I keep remembering the things you said
it follows me from morning till bed
it fells like a dull knife to my heart...

Why I Write...
He hides behind a hood of black
Wears sunglasses so no one knows it’s him
On the outside he looks cold and emotionless
But on the inside he is hurting
He locks the door behind him as he enters
Reflecting on all of today’s failures
Draws the curtains closed to block the light
And begs for the day to turn to night
It’s been another day of being used, abused, and misguided
Whether he has real friends or not is undecided
Shunned from society for being too dark
His looks alone have made him a mark
He counts the scars that trail up his arm
Looks...
