Poet Introduction
As they take eye for an eye, until no one can see We must stumble blindly forward, repeating history

You wake up each day
and look in the mirror
noticing your face
looks a little
more gray,
Where has your life gone?
what happened
to the sweet young kid
playing tag on the lawn,
That was all long ago
you steadily play on
a one-way track
moving foreward
the past is forgotten
there's no going back,
I wish I could pause
rewind, and reclaim
what I could once see,
I know that's impossible now
I'm lost
sailing on an ocean
with no stars to guide me,
I'm all alone
in the shivering cold...

Knives don't have your back
Noone is there for you
You could be dying of thirst
And people
Would just walk right by,
Don't count on anyone
It's only you standing alone
No friends in the world,
If you reach
A pleading hand out for help
All you're going to get
Is a knife buried in your back,
It won't come out
It's in too deep, stuck there
A bright neon sign
For all to see
How gullible you really are,
That's alright though
I'm waiting, knife ready in hand
to return the favor
When you're struggling
To find solid land,...
You could be dying of thirst
And people
Would just walk right by,
Don't count on anyone
It's only you standing alone
No friends in the world,
If you reach
A pleading hand out for help
All you're going to get
Is a knife buried in your back,
It won't come out
It's in too deep, stuck there
A bright neon sign
For all to see
How gullible you really are,
That's alright though
I'm waiting, knife ready in hand
to return the favor
When you're struggling
To find solid land,...

How can anyone ever love me?
How can anyone ever love me?
If you could see behind this mask
That I've placed around my face
You would be disgusted by what you see,
How can anyone ever love me?
There is no repenting
From the sins that I have done,
How can anyone ever love me?
Someone so cynical and apathetic,
How can anyone ever love me?
With skin like ice, and no heart beating,
How can anyone ever love me?
Inhuman, a beast undeserving of affection,
How can anyone ever love me?
a nobody, not worth a second glance,
How can anyone...

Flashlights and Love
A lovely girl turned to me and smiled She took my hand and we danced While we laughed, I felt alive
She asked me if I would follow
Her and dive
Into the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and love
I embraced her as we shared
our truths and we shared our fears
And plunged
Into the depths of our remaning years
She asked me if I would follow
Her and dive
Into the caverns of tomorrow
With just our flashlights and love
I embraced her as we shared
our truths and we shared our fears
And plunged
Into the depths of our remaning years

Capsuled Desolation
I am a prisoner inside a cell of my own creation
Made of my crushed hopes
Held together by the tears falling off my cheeks
I've locked the door and have no key
Seperate myself from everyone
because I can't take anymore lies and pain
I dont want to feel this way anymore
I've been here so long I forgot why I built this prison in the first place How do I get out? I didn't make a key
Oops is too little too late
I've already sealed my fate.
Made of my crushed hopes
Held together by the tears falling off my cheeks
I've locked the door and have no key
Seperate myself from everyone
because I can't take anymore lies and pain
I dont want to feel this way anymore
I've been here so long I forgot why I built this prison in the first place How do I get out? I didn't make a key
Oops is too little too late
I've already sealed my fate.

One day of Happiness
These days just keep bleeding me,draining me until I'm empty,
I watch the stars as they're circling,
Making wishes on the ones shooting past,for just one day of happiness,
Now the sky is falling,
Everything around me dissolving,
Nothing is Tangible now,
My Breath it is freezing,the cold in my heart is turning me to stone,
I'm paralyzed in place,
I just can't keep living,
I'm so tired from all the weeping, that I've done every day and every night
I watch the stars as they're circling,
Making wishes on the ones shooting past,for just one day of happiness,
Now the sky is falling,
Everything around me dissolving,
Nothing is Tangible now,
My Breath it is freezing,the cold in my heart is turning me to stone,
I'm paralyzed in place,
I just can't keep living,
I'm so tired from all the weeping, that I've done every day and every night

Forgotten Garden
A garden grows undisturbed,
Out of sight, no one notices it,
Years pass by the garden remains,
It's flowers are withering away,
The petals crumble at the slightest touch,
Deprived of oxygen and water,
It wont last much longer,
A lovely girl stumbles across the garden one day,
She sees the weeping willows and the dried flowers,
It may have been old and dying,
But she could see hope for this garden,
She could bring life back to this forgotten garden,
It didn't need no water or sunlight,
Oh no just love,
She spent each day taking...

Depths of the Unknown
I saw a pretty girl,
With flowers in her hair,
I asked if she would take my hand,
As I dove into the depths of the unknown,
And we embraced,
when she told me the story,
Of the time she tried to keep the truth concealed,
Falling deeper into bliss,
All these emotions are filling me,
I write this with the pen that she gave me,
When I first asked for her key,
So I will not forget that love is real,
And you have to keep trying, trying, trying.
With flowers in her hair,

All these emotions are filling me,
I write this with the pen that she gave me,

And you have to keep trying, trying, trying.

Deserving Happiness
Why should everyone else deserve happiness,
What have I done to receive such a fate?
Families and couples laugh and smile,
While everything I do is just white noise nothing but static
The message doesn't go through,
So I lay reading in bed,
About lovers, and their happiness,
And I can't help but think I will always be alone,
Oh I just want this shit to end,
I don't even care anymore,
Everyone just wants to do drugs, and get fucked.

Oh I just want this shit to end,

A Pathetic Tale
Tears fall down my cheek, I want to change but I'm too weak, Forced out of my home , now I am all alone, Nobody wants me, nobody loves me, Trapped in a cage, Will I ever be set free?

Surrounded on all sides by razor wire, I'm trapped scared and confused, I feel so foolish I feel so weak, how could I let this happen to me?
I wanna go home, and be safe in my bed, don't need these fucking thoughts running through my head, I think of my family I think of my life, It's over before it begins my song is already played, The keys have been played the chorus is finished
I wear this orange with shame and disgrace, In here you have no name or face, Mindless corpses walk around tasting blood in the air, We need to bury them all six feet deep, leave them there forget...

An Improvised Act
My whole life is an improvised act, I stand up on the stage with a smile, The crowd laughs and cheers for me, I try to act brave so despretly, Running backstage to hide my face I cry for a while,Feeling hopeless and weak I can't see,The crowd is cheering for an encore, Try as I might I can't my body is just too sore.
