The Dark Side of Poetry
Dancing as the World Burns
it’s been some time
since I’ve had the pleasure
guess I get cought up in all the gabble
at the moment I could really careless
if the world's on fire
take my hand
we can play our favorite songs
dance away till the morning comes
the lights are dim in the living room
your eyes are filled with passion
my walk is one of confidence
so let’s say we heal past scars
with swaying of hips
twist and dips
drowning out everything
that keeps us from sweet serenity
each exhale feels like a breath of...

Diamond in the Rough
I didn't grow up privileged
have hard edges from growing up in hard places
fought for everything I've got
and those that don't know me
act so cocky towards me
feel like I have to always give my all
just to prove I’m above the hatred
yet I still get looked down on like, whatever
never good enough for society's standards
a fighter settling for a working man’s salary
not that I mind it
I get used to the everyday bullshit
I’m little bit dirty
I’m little muddied up
been dropped in the caverns ...

Seven Headed Beast
I'm walking in dressed debonair
everyone is filled with glee
leaving their problems at the door
ready to let loose on the dance floor
then I see her
the one that haunts my dreams
looking so beautiful
in her pencil length skirt
has my mind racing with sinful thoughts
oh how I would like to get her alone
give her cherry lips sweet kisses
it's 666 as we do the twist
and I think we might end up in hell tonight
but I think that might be alright
her parents would disapprove
of us and the music that is playing ...

Bang this One Out
sometimes I'm not nice
I'm so fucking over it
wish you felt the same
I don't ever want to be over you
haven't even fucked in awhile
starting to feel pathetic
I try to understand
this is a bigger issue for you
but don't you see
I need to fly free
just like the birds
yet you're always there to pick apart
my rights and wrongs
asking me
what do I want?
how about let me be
take those restraints off of me
and love the person you see
I'm not trying to tell you what to do
so don't tell me what I should...

Anonymously
one day I'll be gone
and that doesn't mean a damn thing
because I'm all about the now
fake people come around
i've learned to cut the cancer out
don't mean to be insensitive
just want to care for me and my lover
kiss her by a bonfire
I don't really need anything more
friends come and go like a revolving door
after all I'm ok with taking the blame
wrong or right
I'm the asshole
for falling in love with the serenity
my heart has been broken
done things I've regretted
but it's not about the mistakes

Blink of an Eye
will it ever end?
or will it always be pretend?
slave to the system
yeah, party all the time
losing their fucking minds
on our dime
as we sweat away
another day
for a few short moments
play with your kids
force yourself awake
don't want to miss the joy
it goes by
in a blink of an eye
as they sex
fucking all the time
whore after whore
on our dime
can't say a thing
for we our slaves
some say it's ok
least they throw a bone our way
every once and awhile
till we stumble home
so...

Dracula's Heart
I'm the vampire
even long after you've forgotten
stolen each other's heart
but my cruelty still rains
just never for your eyes
a kiss from your angel lips
soothes my wretched soul
unfortunately it's no cure
for I am the monster
one I've embraced long ago
created by a wicked witch
now I'm the wickedness
hate builds like blind faith
I want to see the villagers misery
blood dripping down from white walls
I pretend not be this creature
so many years and I start to forget
fooling myself but never...

To the Grave
threw shade my way
now tell me, who the fuck are you?
because in my mind I'm a super star
and in my mind you're a bad memory
a person that tried to hurt me
but I just smiled and laughed it off
and that's why I'll always be the bigger person
not trying to brag
I just think those attempts are wasted energy
we could of held each other up
guess you had other plans
would of ran
in the middle of the night
just to give you a ride
would of got into a fight for you
now I fight with you
drank and crashed together ...
