The Pain We Cause Ourselves
As soon as you told me that
I knew I was a fool
A dreamer among the all seeing
Blinded by my own light in my heart
I was silent when I heard those words
I don't know why
Something I hoped to never hear I guess
The thing was you never even knew
I just imagined you handing me a knife
But it was all me, I stabbed that pain into myself
I made that choice, you were just the one I saw
The unknowing participant in the stands
I wanted to say it was all for you
But what a fool
To be hurt by some words shared by friends
To still think its okay...

The Play of the Lovelorn
Save me from these shining lights
And just hold me in your embrace
Life isn`t a race and we have forever
To figure out everything
Wherever I go, you`ll be my heaven
Close your eyes and just trace the skies
You`ve become a permanent resident of my heart
Occasional dropper by of my mind
At least once a day
I feel the squeeze on my stomach
Because I don`t know what the hell to do
When I think that you don`t even care I exist
I can`t just ask
It`s become a task bigger than our history
We didn`t last this far for nothing
Knowing what we...
And just hold me in your embrace
Life isn`t a race and we have forever
To figure out everything
Wherever I go, you`ll be my heaven
Close your eyes and just trace the skies
You`ve become a permanent resident of my heart
Occasional dropper by of my mind
At least once a day
I feel the squeeze on my stomach
Because I don`t know what the hell to do
When I think that you don`t even care I exist

Bad Man
You could always see it, always tell
See the darkness inside of someone
Through the spaces, voids of life
By looking into their eyes, just seeing the scream
The horrors of people, fucking people
Watching as they watched a last breath
Crying tears of blood into their hands
The fucking pain of an entire life
Compiled into two little pupils
Little projections of horror movies
Enough pain to make my hands clench
My brow furrow and my very core shake
Enough to disgust me, to think how could someone do this?
Do such things to another...
See the darkness inside of someone
Through the spaces, voids of life
By looking into their eyes, just seeing the scream
The horrors of people, fucking people
Watching as they watched a last breath
Crying tears of blood into their hands
The fucking pain of an entire life
Compiled into two little pupils
Little projections of horror movies
Enough pain to make my hands clench
My brow furrow and my very core shake
Enough to disgust me, to think how could someone do this?

Cleansing
I take the rainwater from yesterday
And pour it over my heart
I take the tears from my life
And wash my skin until it stings
I rip the darkness from my very soul
And plunge a knife through it
Once a hollow shell
Filled with my own personal hell
I let the sorrow bleed to the floor
Run down the drain so I don't feel anymore
Place a gun of happiness against my temple
Pull the trigger and watch
As the sun rises over the end of my bed
And waves crash against the cliffs of my dresser
I'm standing in an open jail cell
Breathing in the fresh...
And pour it over my heart
I take the tears from my life
And wash my skin until it stings
I rip the darkness from my very soul
And plunge a knife through it
Once a hollow shell
Filled with my own personal hell
I let the sorrow bleed to the floor
Run down the drain so I don't feel anymore
Place a gun of happiness against my temple
Pull the trigger and watch
As the sun rises over the end of my bed
And waves crash against the cliffs of my dresser
I'm standing in an open jail cell

Trials and Articulation
You'll never see
I understand
But how could I ever tell you?
That I dream of you
That I can't go a day without thinking about you
That I would give it all to take you with me
To tell you everything will be okay
To love you everyday
To break down these walls
Surrounding me, surrounding you
Shout to the sky your name
Write you into a book
Just to read you everyday
To let these butterflies in my stomach
Fly me to the sky
And let me rest on the clouds, dreaming of you
I can't control these urges, these feelings
I can pretend to...

The Moons Eyes (The Lone Samurai Moon)
When I was 19
I had already killed 4 people
I knew not why I had this strength
This speed or precision
To cut a man down before he can move
To send him to another realm
It was like there were four of me
Swinging down in all directions
Like a pack of mad wolves surrounding its prey
It was the fire in my eyes
That burned like the sun
A man could have many tricks
But skill and passion were not one of them
I remember my sword, cutting elegantly
Through a mans torso, splattering his blood on a nearby tree
I just stood there, sword still...

I Watched
I watched as time and space
Ripped holes in your heart
And withered your face
I watched as the rain dampened your hair
Running down your face in streams
And you cried without a care
I watched as you kissed your first love
Injecting his breath into your heart
Thinking he fell from the heavens above
I watched as you traced the skies
Fingers interlocked with each other
Lost in his eyes
I watched as you cried when he left
Holding onto pain and regret
His heart deeply wept
I watched as he offered himself back
And you just laughed...
Ripped holes in your heart
And withered your face
I watched as the rain dampened your hair
Running down your face in streams
And you cried without a care

It's Funny How Things Are
I'm leaving soon
About to start a new life
I'm excited and happy
But I'm sad, I shouldn't be
Sad because I won't see you anymore
You won't see me anymore anyway
But just the slightest chance
It's a crazy want but I'll miss it
Probably speak to you on the phone less
Shut out from the same old lines
Releasing a breath that contracts my very core
Squeezing over my heart when I think
Like how I feel about my thoughts
Thoughts I don't know are true
Like you only remember I exist when you need something
Or someone to talk to
I'm so...
About to start a new life
I'm excited and happy
But I'm sad, I shouldn't be

Lone Samurai Moon
I remember it all too well
Like it was yesterday
How the wind felt that day
Blowing through the grass
How the trees rattled
Dropping leaves by
Like a flock of birds flying to the horizon
The sun slowly setting on the horizon
The sound of air escaping from this mans neck
A faint hiss over the sound of the wind
Him hold it and wincing in pain
As the blood streamed through his fingers
Just past his fingertips
He could not stop it
Just prior to this my sword
Flashing through the sun
Blinding this man for a second before he could...

I Am Me
I woke up today
From a batch of weird dreams
They quickly evaporated
Something about them must have been unsettling
Because the first thing I looked for was someone to hold
Someone to hold me
Then I realized I'm all alone
No one there to hug me to
No one to touch, remind me its okay
I'm a grown man
But still want to be hugged like a child
By a mother who loves me
Hugged by a woman, who adores me
But I have neither
So I must do what a man must
Suck it up and wait for the feelings to go
But I say that's bullshit
and I hate...

The Buses of Euphoric Tranquility
The bus crowded with a faint musk
No one wants to be there
Everyone is a shade of grey
They all look so unhappy
Until my eye crosses her sitting by herself
Gold hair as she nervously fidgets
She continuously stares out the window
Except for a quick glance my way
And I want to smile at her
She won't even look me in the eye though
Because she's too busy playing with her hair
Too busy slowly mouthing the words
To the song coming through her headphones
Something like "if love was left to live"
I can't read lips so one can only ad...

The Past is Still the Present
You may think I never cared
But I still did the things I didn't like
Just for you and you alone
Held back my feelings forever
Just to help you stay happy
Even if I was crying before I answered the phone
Because I cared, still put your happiness before mine
I'll never understand why though
Because I feel you will never come my way again
My every inch screams your name
While I float by in a sea
Reaching for you as you pass by in the sky
I feel I may go under one day
Just remembering our passion
But this is the present
Yet my stomach...
But I still did the things I didn't like
Just for you and you alone
Held back my feelings forever
Just to help you stay happy
Even if I was crying before I answered the phone
Because I cared, still put your happiness before mine
I'll never understand why though
Because I feel you will never come my way again
My every inch screams your name
While I float by in a sea
Reaching for you as you pass by in the sky
I feel I may go under one day
Just remembering our passion
But this is the present
Yet my stomach...
