Where is Me?
Everyone who says hello, Will one day say goodbye.
Living is an illness, And the war is past.
Sometimes without warning, Or giving a reason why.
Finally the crisis, Is over at last.
If you be my star, I'll be your sky.
Let's hope tonight, We don't run out of light.
I'm lashing out, not bothering you to cry.
I'm going down, without a fight.
Are we quotation marks, inverted and upside down?
Clinging to one another at the end of this life sentence.
What is this world, this suffocating town?
Regretting lives we did not choose, we aren't asking...

You Don't Have To Be
center]I'm sorry for swallowing my soul
So I could help you become whole
I know you're hurt that I hid me
But to me, it was worth it for you to see
That you're more than the world
You're more than just some girl
All I needed was for you to smile
To stop drinking up his vile
All I needed was for you to be happy
That was all that was necessary
So don't be sad as I pass away
I've always been prepared for this day
I didn't tell you that I was sad
I didn't want you to be mad
Or waste the effort on me
When you were dealing...
So I could help you become whole
I know you're hurt that I hid me
But to me, it was worth it for you to see
That you're more than the world
You're more than just some girl
All I needed was for you to smile
To stop drinking up his vile
All I needed was for you to be happy
That was all that was necessary
So don't be sad as I pass away
I've always been prepared for this day
I didn't tell you that I was sad
I didn't want you to be mad
Or waste the effort on me

I'm Falling for Numbers
He's a picture on a screen,
Only through text can he be seen.
His smile whispers through words,
He will always be heard.
I wish to listen endlessly,
This thing we have is in the chemistry.
He has no hands to touch me with,
But the linger of fire is no myth.
While my friends cut me down,
And their words go to town,
I'll stare into those lifeless eyes,
Knowing this man on the screen is mine.
How can they understand the thrill?
Knowing this kind words might not be real.
But how I love him so,
Even if he...
Only through text can he be seen.
His smile whispers through words,
He will always be heard.

You Will Survive
center]Sit inside the closet all alone
Pretend there's no one home
Your head may be empty
But you bed is not
Watch me live
This life for you
Because you stopped coming out to play
You stopped believing it'd be okay
But that's all just fine
I'll be here all the time
Right beside you
Protecting you
Because it's the only thing I can do[/center]

Coldly
center]How am I supposed to be, anything but cold and calculating.
Why did I lose my heart, when did the numbness start?
Surely it crept in slowly, making me act so coldly
I'm still sorry for anything I've done, I'm not the same one
Imitating it's abuse on me, I'll try to make you see
I'm not exactly what I used to be, this is a new demon
And it lives in me
[/center]

Anything
I told her I'd do anything for her
And now that her life's lost color
She says it's over, forever
That's there's no way she'll get better
I hold her hand, and she cries
I'd help but I'm all out of tries
So I slide the bottle closer
Then she'll have her closure
She says I'll be okay without her alive
She doesn't realize she's why I thrive
And if she doesn't realize she's loved
Then I'll tell her when we get to heaven above
If she can't live without that boy
And she's my only one true joy
Then if she wants to...
And now that her life's lost color
She says it's over, forever
That's there's no way she'll get better
I hold her hand, and she cries
I'd help but I'm all out of tries
So I slide the bottle closer
Then she'll have her closure
She says I'll be okay without her alive
She doesn't realize she's why I thrive
And if she doesn't realize she's loved

To Hell With Me
center]I'm a strange creature
Coming from who knows where
Breathing rust from the air
Wearing skin that can tear
A stone sits in my chest
And a smile on my face
I always do my best
To keep in my place
When I finally do break
Whatever day it might be
The world I hope to shake
And swallow in my tragedy
Maybe I can force it down
To travel with little o' me
The people of this suffocating town
Can come to hell with me[/center]

Schizophrenic Mind
Incognito, this is my enemy
Swallow it whole to become a part
We're hands on a clock
Ticking along
Shame on you for forgetting the food
Perhaps we can all calm down
Put on your gloves in case it frogs
Maybe we can chase the snow by the pond
Showing minutes without hours
Killing time again
Chicken shit and horse crap pie
Disguising myself as the enemy
I do hope this feathered dog is only telling a story
I'd hate for it to be true
It seems you can't find a decent life in the city at all
Especially when you sit along all...
Swallow it whole to become a part
We're hands on a clock
Ticking along
Shame on you for forgetting the food
Perhaps we can all calm down
Put on your gloves in case it frogs
Maybe we can chase the snow by the pond
Showing minutes without hours
Killing time again
Chicken shit and horse crap pie
Disguising myself as the enemy
I do hope this feathered dog is only telling a story
I'd hate for it to be true
It seems you can't find a decent life in the city at all

No Wonder
The world can swallow down,
The ashes flood the ground.
I'm breathing in the rust,
Leaving marks on the crust.
A new day, buried alive already,
The world is far too scary.
This is my view when waking,
Trembling, cold, and shaking.
This life is unforgiving,
It holds grudges unrelenting.
Dragging my feet into the mud,
Washing my mouth with a flood.
No wonder everyone wants to die,
Not a star to reach for in the sky.
Don't hold me back if I drown,
In this world that's crumbling down.
The ashes flood the ground.
I'm breathing in the rust,
Leaving marks on the crust.
A new day, buried alive already,
The world is far too scary.
This is my view when waking,
Trembling, cold, and shaking.
This life is unforgiving,
It holds grudges unrelenting.
Dragging my feet into the mud,
Washing my mouth with a flood.
No wonder everyone wants to die,
Not a star to reach for in the sky.
Don't hold me back if I drown,
In this world that's crumbling down.

There's a Girl
center]There's a girl I can never hate
She fills my life with butterflies
And my dreams with the sunrise
When I met her, I thought it was fate
A burning in my chest she creates
I fall deeper when I look into her eyes
She is my lovely prize
And it kills to know, she's straight
She'll get caught up on boys
And I'll get her through the pain
She'll play into their hands like a toy
And I'll tell her to not be ashamed
But she's someone who gives me joy
There's a girl who lights my heart aflame
[/center]

Sweet Lies
center]Sweet lies
Meant to fool the eyes
Of the betrayal within
The definition of sin
Sweet lies
Meant to cool the cries
Of the loneliest ones
The meaning of wars to be won
Sweet lies
Meant to heal a heart
Before it breaks it apart
Sweetness dies
On the sweetest lies[/center]

I was Promised Wonderland
Rabbits in coats, running around
Hanging throats, as we fall down
Painted doors, and large pit falls
Checkered floors, and shiny walls
A ticking hand, A growing man
I'm going mad, but that's the plan
Fires lick, as I grow too big
Cookies sick, this just isn't my gig
Eating things with tags, stupid
Next I'll be a body bag, I'm only human
This wasn't what I was promised, oh well
I'm not astonished, I ended up in hell
Hanging throats, as we fall down
Painted doors, and large pit falls
Checkered floors, and shiny walls
A ticking hand, A growing man
I'm going mad, but that's the plan
Fires lick, as I grow too big
Cookies sick, this just isn't my gig
Eating things with tags, stupid
Next I'll be a body bag, I'm only human
This wasn't what I was promised, oh well
I'm not astonished, I ended up in hell
