I Wonder
I think of you, and I wonder;
When people ask, do you tell them we died? Or do you pretend we didn’t exist at all?
Can you still thumb through the pages of that old bloodstained bible?
Can you still read the story of Gideon? Or do you skip those verses?
Do you think of me every time you sit down at the table to pray?
Singing my name at church, seeing it plastered all over that holy book you hold so dear.
Surrounded by the life you’ve built on lies.
A daughter my age, a son his age.
How coincidental
Does your tongue betray you when you call for...

A Flame
Their love was a fire
Born of kindling and lust
But love created from desire
Burns down to ash and dust
Born of kindling and lust
But love created from desire
Burns down to ash and dust

First Love
There was no eloquence or grace
No refinement in those small kisses
Only clumsy lips, fumbling fingers
But it was love just the same
No refinement in those small kisses
Only clumsy lips, fumbling fingers
But it was love just the same

Ashes To Ashes
Cigarette ash falls like snow
Drifting slowly to the ground
My memories never fading
The acrid smell profound
But ashes are not snowflakes
Not in winter, not at all
But one after the other
They all have to join the fall
Ash won't make a sound
But you landed with a thud
Eyes filled with crystal tears
And pavement wet with blood
So I'll light two up tonight
One for me, and one for you
Because the nicotine isn't enough
And I fear I'm falling, too
Drifting slowly to the ground
My memories never fading
The acrid smell profound
But ashes are not snowflakes
Not in winter, not at all
But one after the other
They all have to join the fall
Ash won't make a sound
But you landed with a thud
Eyes filled with crystal tears
And pavement wet with blood
So I'll light two up tonight
One for me, and one for you
Because the nicotine isn't enough
And I fear I'm falling, too

If You're Twisted
If you're twisted and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're twisted and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're delighted by the sight
Of people dropping left and right
If you're twisted and you know it
Clap your hands
Clap your hands
If you're twisted and you know it
Clap your hands
If you're delighted by the sight
Of people dropping left and right
If you're twisted and you know it
Clap your hands

I Am Happy For You
I wanted to say that I
Am still in love with him and I was
Happy with him but
For your sake I couldn't muster the courage and
You deserve him so much more than I do
Am still in love with him and I was
Happy with him but
For your sake I couldn't muster the courage and
You deserve him so much more than I do

~Internally~
Ink spilled into words
To put them to shame
But she went too far
Now there's no one to blame
Three different languages
Hard scribbles in vain
Line after line, time after time
Left without glory, only pain
The voices scream and shout
Begging to stop trying
But the moment she stops writing
Will be the moment she starts dying
Her eyes filled with dread
Lips with words left unsaid
Lines upon lines left unwed
The monster was finally dead
To put them to shame
But she went too far
Now there's no one to blame
Three different languages
Hard scribbles in vain
Line after line, time after time
Left without glory, only pain
The voices scream and shout
Begging to stop trying
But the moment she stops writing
Will be the moment she starts dying
Her eyes filled with dread
Lips with words left unsaid
Lines upon lines left unwed
The monster was finally dead

~Perception~
Photos abandoned
Littering the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Blood slowly dripping
Seeping into the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Hot tears spilling
Onto the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Last notes strewn
All over the warm
Hardwood floor
In the bustling home
Littering the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Blood slowly dripping
Seeping into the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Hot tears spilling
Onto the cold
Hardwood floor
In the empty house
Last notes strewn
All over the warm
Hardwood floor
In the bustling home

~Back For You~
I don't understand
Why'd you come back?
After you left me
My soul turned black
I cannot explain
How I have changed
My mind has crumbled
I've become deranged
My heart no longer flutters
When you come near
Your name is terribly painful
When it floats through my ear
Your hot, callused hands
I dread their rough touch
My shattered heart is held
In your fiery clutch
Your laugh like a scream
That echoes from the dead
Your slimy tongue slipping
Words that should have been said
...

~Fire~
It started off as smoke
Sadness in the air
But it thickened quickly
Soon, unable to bare
Photos of fun times
Old friends and new
Now used as kindling
But I never had a clue
Prescription medication
Copious amounts of alcohol
Only fueling the flames
Slowly inching up the wall
Memories catch fire
Burned down to a shred
Assisting the outbreak
Of orange & gold flames in my head
At the tips of my fingers
And the bottom of my toes
I can feel the burning sensation
And the pain only grows
A...

~Call It A Suicide~
Don't go looking
For a reason to live
You won't find one here
I haven't any to give
I'm down on my luck
And this cycle's repeating
I don't give a fuck
And my life is fleeting
I cry every night
Fake smiles every day
Fuck seeing the light
In the shadows, I'll stay
Never good enough
I was never fully sane
When the going gets tough
I put a bullet in my brain
For a reason to live
You won't find one here
I haven't any to give
I'm down on my luck
And this cycle's repeating
I don't give a fuck
And my life is fleeting
I cry every night
Fake smiles every day
Fuck seeing the light
In the shadows, I'll stay
Never good enough
I was never fully sane
When the going gets tough
I put a bullet in my brain

~Poisons~
A shot to give a buzz
A needle to kill the pain
A fag to exhale the lies
A blunt with nothing to gain
Poisons and toxins
Going straight to the brain
Hopes and dreams
Swirling down the drain
Lovely little toys
All the same strain
People come and go
But this high will always remain
My dearest little doll
Do you see this vein?
Soon to be injected
Brain cells to be slain
Every one I can see
They all look so plain
Always running too slow
Their fantasies are strained
Daft, sickly little girl...
A needle to kill the pain
A fag to exhale the lies
A blunt with nothing to gain
Poisons and toxins
Going straight to the brain
Hopes and dreams
Swirling down the drain
Lovely little toys
All the same strain
People come and go
But this high will always remain
My dearest little doll
Do you see this vein?
Soon to be injected
Brain cells to be slain
Every one I can see
They all look so plain
Always running too slow
Their fantasies are strained
Daft, sickly little girl...
