So Stupid
It seems so fuckin stupid to me
Why someone that's lost without purpose
Would consistently give into the nothingness
Knowing there's no depth beneath the surface
I've seen the heart of an angel
Giving without cause or concern
I've seen it wither away to a whisper
I've watched a soul, spark and burn
Where has the terror gone
Where are all the tears
Gone by the wayside somehow
Lost among the wasted years
Where can we find any hope
No longer even a memory here
A shadow lurking in my mind
It's...

Via Con Dios (Go With God)
He has been living a lie
Fronting what society wants to see
Inside he is not this man
In his heart he wants to be free
Free of the oppression
That this world has imposed
There is no leniency here
All of their minds are closed
He is called bad cause he chose to detach
His mind from this frightening reality
It is said that he has no code or honor
That he is void of all morality
It is to this that he does reply
Fuck you society, you don't know
Walk a mile in my shoes
See what it's like in the shadow ...
Fronting what society wants to see
Inside he is not this man
In his heart he wants to be free
Free of the oppression
That this world has imposed
There is no leniency here
All of their minds are closed
He is called bad cause he chose to detach
His mind from this frightening reality
It is said that he has no code or honor
That he is void of all morality
It is to this that he does reply
Fuck you society, you don't know
Walk a mile in my shoes
See what it's like in the shadow ...

Pain of Anger
I feel an anger inside my heart
A new one that I can't explain
The natural order confuses me
Leaving no explanation for the pain
The hurt rolling around in my head
Tearing through the fabric of my mind
Leaving unseen wounds deep inside
Laying waste to everything behind
My brother you could help me see the light
In this chapter of my wasted youth
Teach me another life lesson
Because you were the purest truth
I am left here to battle this loneliness
Killing myself cause I could've eased his
I never...
A new one that I can't explain
The natural order confuses me
Leaving no explanation for the pain
The hurt rolling around in my head
Tearing through the fabric of my mind
Leaving unseen wounds deep inside
Laying waste to everything behind
My brother you could help me see the light
In this chapter of my wasted youth
Teach me another life lesson

I am left here to battle this loneliness
Killing myself cause I could've eased his

Drowning
Oh where did she go
She used to be mine
But that was before
This is a different time
Now she has gone away
Lost in another world
I failed her I couldn't win
She can't escape the underworld
My lord above I pray
Give her all of my strength
She needs it so much more than I
She is choking on her own breath
Remind her of her beauty
My words she no longer hears
Too many lies have her drowning
In a pool of her own tears
She used to be mine
But that was before
This is a different time
Now she has gone away
Lost in another world
I failed her I couldn't win
She can't escape the underworld
My lord above I pray
Give her all of my strength
She needs it so much more than I
She is choking on her own breath
Remind her of her beauty
My words she no longer hears
Too many lies have her drowning
In a pool of her own tears

Sickness
I find myself here again
This old familiar place
Alone with just my thoughts
Feeling like such a disgrace
It is so cold and desolate
Why have I come back here
Back to hiding in the shadows
With so much more now to fear
So I scream out for help
But the silence is too strong
No one can hear me now
They can't see anything wrong
So my sickness grows stronger
With the passing of each hour
I feel my heart begin to slow down
It is my soul the sickness will devour
This old familiar place
Alone with just my thoughts
Feeling like such a disgrace
It is so cold and desolate
Why have I come back here
Back to hiding in the shadows
With so much more now to fear
So I scream out for help
But the silence is too strong
No one can hear me now
They can't see anything wrong
So my sickness grows stronger
With the passing of each hour
I feel my heart begin to slow down
It is my soul the sickness will devour

Obscene
Now I lay next to her
In this coffin we have built
Ready to be lowered
And then covered with silt
The Sins of our past are playing
On a cold white movie screen
Not edited for content, or rating
This movie is so obscene
Barrels pointed to our hearts
We chose to leave together
As we rushed on towards the light
We felt it start to get better
As the last few gather
I have to at least ponder
What would fate have given
If we had just a little bit longer
Now I lay next to her
In this...
In this coffin we have built
Ready to be lowered
And then covered with silt
The Sins of our past are playing
On a cold white movie screen
Not edited for content, or rating
This movie is so obscene
Barrels pointed to our hearts
We chose to leave together
As we rushed on towards the light
We felt it start to get better
As the last few gather

Now I lay next to her

Lonely Night
I have chosen the path of the damned
And taken you along with
I can't remember how we got here
The way out must be a myth
I watch you from the bed
Wishing for a little smile
I just want to hold you
To get me through for awhile
You I will miss today
On this journey across the miles
Two states I will cross
Staring at only the dials
My dashboard and motel room
My only friends it seems
Along this lonely highway
Where no one hears my screams
I drive on into the darkness
Not knowing what's in store

Truth
Here we go sit your ass down
Strap in tight were goin for a ride
This is gonna be one for the books
In unfamiliar waters without a guide
This race I feel in my veins
Is not without a cost
I'm watching everything circle the drain
The whole world is being tossed
Shaken up and bruised
We will rise from these ashes
We will calm down awhile
Then return for our stashes
It's the one thing remaining
When all the smoke has cleared
It's what we have loved
And also what we feared
We can not run from this truth...
Strap in tight were goin for a ride

Perspective
I wonder how this is supposed to work
In the end one of us has to lose
Wanting opposite outcomes we fight to win
She wants normal and I just want to use
It has left us both trying to salvage
What's left of our battered past
While looking for our own individualism
We're both left putting the other last
Trying desperately to break the selfish cycle
Is proving to be harder than it seems
Both dying to be enough for the other
But still neglectful for what the other one fiends
She just needs my attention
Like an addict...

My Fall
I am ashamed of my position
How far I let myself fall
Now with all I have left
There's no one left I can call
I burned all their faith
Bridges of hope long gone
I sit lonely with only my shame
As a cold wind blows in the dawn
Colder still are the stares
From those that once cared
Unable to continue watching my freakshow
Turning away, so their own lives were spared
Here at the bottom I stand alone
As it should be I need reminding
Of my strength and ability
This new sun outside is blinding
Clearing my vision now...
How far I let myself fall
Now with all I have left
There's no one left I can call
I burned all their faith
Bridges of hope long gone
I sit lonely with only my shame
As a cold wind blows in the dawn
Colder still are the stares
From those that once cared
Unable to continue watching my freakshow
Turning away, so their own lives were spared
Here at the bottom I stand alone
As it should be I need reminding
Of my strength and ability
This new sun outside is blinding

Am I Too Late
As I sit here inside my palace of darkness
Looking out into the world I helped create
I see the everyday tasks to be done
And I watch as the weak start to deviate
They are who I go and feed upon
The feeble minded are easily bought
I remember the schemes I put it to play
That turned lives to shit and minds to rot
Like a hungry vampire I overindulged
Sucking the very lifeforce out of so many
My greed and addiction had an all time high
Without remorse I took every last penny
Now with all I need protected by this palace
Why...

My Devils Dance
Inside my head I feel myself slipping
In my soul I know that I am broken
What is it that has made me different
Is it all the words that remain unspoken
I look into everyone’s eyes for answers
But few know the highways that brought me here
So without asking a single question
The world had spun a whole nother year
How do I replace what isn't missing
I cannot buy what is not sold
Though my body is quite young
My soul is getting very old
How does one find the strength
To just smile and laugh
When told where...
