POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Have a little time on my hands to write out songs and such.
One Day I Had An Epiphany
I was the distance in-between
The reciprocation of something more
The falling rain that drenched the shore
The hole that drained the riverbed
I was the star surrounded by many
The only one who wanted so much more
I was the endless sea that kept on turning
Even the soul finds ways to bleed
Even the blood has a reason to run
Even the sun has a reason to keep on shining
Even my lonely stream longs to be whole
Even my being is forever turning
I was never uneasy
I was never uneasy
I was never uneasy
Turning over and over...
The reciprocation of something more
The falling rain that drenched the shore
The hole that drained the riverbed
I was the star surrounded by many
The only one who wanted so much more
I was the endless sea that kept on turning
Even the soul finds ways to bleed
Even the blood has a reason to run
Even the sun has a reason to keep on shining
Even my lonely stream longs to be whole
Even my being is forever turning
I was never uneasy
I was never uneasy
I was never uneasy
Turning over and over...

Something's Gotta Give
I cannot understand
There is no answer in my heart
Can you honestly see this life I'm living
Somewhere beneath these skies
I think I lost my faith in anything
Or maybe I had nothing at all
I wondered so long ago
If there is something I'm missing
Something missing inside me
I think something's gotta give
Cause I don't want this endless scene
This life isn't worth living my friend
Maybe tomorrow I will find the light
I think something's gotta give
I feel it edging closer every day
I think something's...

Prove
When your faith is all but gone
You'll find another steeple to hold
Another reservoir is your new way out
Running from the days gone by
I've seen the sadness in your eyes
The anxiety of the end approaching
Into the fire you'll face your shame
Finding resolve is your right
Your heart beckons to you again
To stand upon your feet on your own
Within yourself you will find your light
Reach the end on your own
A thousand marks upon your skin
Humiliation that convey your misery
A sickening disgust within the mind
Whenever you...

Reach the end on your own

Humiliation that convey your misery
A sickening disgust within the mind

Self Decay
A young harlot of twenty five
Her nails were stained with black
In the process she lost her innocence
Left to fend the cold on her own
Her bones ached and deformed
The sunshine she took comfort in
Slowly but surely leaving her blind
A little self decay never hurt anyone
Over and over I heard her cry
Wandering the streets at a late hour
Society cast her aside in a blink of an eye
And she hides behind her little friends
Narcissistic fiends and sullen faces
Sharing her pain of desecration
A redemption never known
...

Something Worth Fighting For
Streaks of gray
Illuminating my sky
Reminding me why I'm here
Maybe I'm naive
Maybe the road is long
But I feel my heart come alive
And everyone knows
I don't stand on my knees
And I'm further from the black
A beautiful symmetry in my heart
And we'll sail beyond this line
Cause I know we are meant to be
And don't you cry when I leave home
A beautiful symmetry in my heart
Everyone has a price to pay
Everyone has a price to pay
Everyone has a price to pay
Don't you grieve when I'm gone
Don't you...
Illuminating my sky

And we'll sail beyond this line

Iron Man
Got my hand touching the clouds
The atmosphere is my playground
There's nowhere I can't be
Encased in blurring colors
Saving the child from the shells
Ammunition bearing my name
Would you understand
The guilt dug in my brain
Live's wasted by my design
Well my fate isn't set in stone
I'll become what I should have been
Making sure this world can live again
I carry the wound in my heart
The sin of the father won't mark me
I'll rearrange everything I stand for
Long before I...

No Such Thing
Seeing heaven from behind bars
I can't recall where I went wrong
But this pin stripped suit is my name
And this cell is my new home
With the fiends calling me brother
Everyone will learn to live without me
I've been the liar for so long
I'm right where I'm suppose to be
Claiming the life cause I know I can
Always spinning that little kink
Hell isn't what I suspected
Claiming the throne as my own
I don't remember singing hallelujah
Try and not feel affected
Cause your son has my eyes
That excuse alone will break...

Killing Me Slowly
My head is heavy
And my heart is weathered
Already strained by the vein
My feet are on the ground
But I remember every word
Cause I don't wanna live this way
I know it's not alright
Letting it kill me slowly
But I'll live again
I'll find my way back to me
That smile will come around
But I'll live again
Cold mask here again
Never showing gratitude
Stranger inside of me
I held every lie in my hand
Never admitting right or wrong
Cause I don't wanna live this way
I know it's not alright...
And my heart is weathered

I'll find my way back to me

American Psycho
Two irises of different color
I know punishment will not come
A confession has lost it's purpose
I grow frustrated at my being
The darkness is creeping in
Cause I cannot feel a thing
Surrounded by my own walls
Surrounded by my own walls
I cannot escape this hell
Cause I love what I am
I feel my world growing smaller
Every life bleed into one
Losing myself again
I think solitude is my absolution
I believe I'm a necessary evil
Cause I know I'm sick inside
Surrounded by my own walls
Surrounded by my own...
I know punishment will not come
A confession has lost it's purpose
I grow frustrated at my being
The darkness is creeping in
Cause I cannot feel a thing
Surrounded by my own walls
Surrounded by my own walls

Cause I love what I am
I feel my world growing smaller
Every life bleed into one
Losing myself again
I think solitude is my absolution
I believe I'm a necessary evil
Cause I know I'm sick inside
Surrounded by my own walls

Dreaming In Ascension
Way back when I was young
I saw my father throw down his pride
Turned his back on what he loved the most
Left that old beat up guitar on a deserted road
He looked at me with unshed tears
Told me not to be a fool like your old man
That rock n roll will lead you nowhere soon
He never knew that dream was already here
Whoa now
I hear my dream coming alive
The echo of sound ringing clear
The crowd chanting my name
Whoa now
The girls are singing my song
Every word spinning in my head
My soul is wrapped...

Avenger
With a sudden turn
I came across endless black
With the sky falling apart at the seam
I remember the fragile scene
Like a hollywood horror
I saw the becoming of the end
With every push we were driven under
A sacrifice had to be made
So let us stand together
And cross out all that's wrong
And become one against the storm
Watch the stars intertwine
And let this hole retract on its own
Like a startling sign let's stand together
Wall street was left abandoned...

Innocent Like Doves
They say your nothing but a mistake
That you were never good enough
And I know you believed every word
Breaking your back for their need
No love is spoken from word of mouth
They won't give you a second glance
And you turn to the blade for sympathy
All these scars that grace your skin
Should not be known
Oh you beautiful seed
Did the tears fall every day
Your face a constant state of repair
Oh you beautiful seed
Yes I know your falling apart
Cannot escape this cycle of decay
Here you are today
Withdrawn...
