Another Massacre
Picture a place so full of treachery
no one escapes
the limpid sun shines bright another day
and even though they pray
every third week the calvary comes
and set the whole entire village ablaze
where are the better days?
The shallow graves are a constant reminder
please take this baby and hide her
I shed a thousand tears, aimless hate
they've been at it for years
I mean a person shouldn't have to stay in fear
another massacre
horrid screams
Lord this wasn't a dream
not even babies were allowed to breath
this really gets to me...

Nature's Pity
Take a walk along the coast and watch the ocean
Acknowledge it's motion
The setting sun's rays are floating
Surrender your thoughts
The beauty witnessed here was more than I sought
We ought to start toward the shore before the storm is in route
I have a minute to escape the cursed city
I mustn't return
I'd rather stay at nature's pity
Here the streets aren't paved with envy
Suns up
Taking flight with the clouds
Appreciate the windbreaks and looking down at the towns
The kind of picture that you'd only see in paint
I do...

Still Caught Me
I hug a wall in the darkest alley way
I'm scared like hell
I couldn't tell which way to face
I looked to my left
I heard it coming from the right
I ran so fast and turned a corner sorta tight
And one bright light came up behind
I caught a glimpse
It had two wings
A bow and arrow made of steel
This wasn't my plan
I guess we fear things we don't understand
But still I just can't let it catch me
I'd be less of a man
And while I'm running there's an unexpected stress on my leg
And while I'm trying to see what's wrong ...

My Mind
Sometimes I feel trapped in my mind
Endless stream of thoughts and anxiety combined
I yearn to escape but then I tell myself I'm fine
Delusional drifts
A perpetual decline
In mental distress over things I can't control
Melancholy
Can't help but keep and carry on
I struggle and strive
Can't help the person who's inside
So I try to help others through conversation I provide
Stuck all the time
If I escape where would I go?
Will I lose my mind?
I'd hate to say but probably so
There's no way to hide ...

Come With Me
Ever since the first approach, I peeped the mirrors and smoke, we’re having secret conversations over Jäger and coke, it’s obvious the way he treats you can’t compare, and what told me you cared, is how I saw you change your hair, now you watch what you wear, it’s obvious he wasn’t there, may I take you to the fair? Spend time, get acquainted a bit, didn’t want to leave his side but you’ve been thinking of it, really, I don’t think you should stay if unhappy, take a chance with me, we can see just what may happen, a beautiful face, you don’t have to stay and do what he say, kick this person...

When I'm Alone
When I'm alone, I sit and visualize a perilous past, just a finger-breadth away from going mad, a constant recollection, does it trouble me? The audience guessed it, I think dishonesty is pretty pathetic, it's not always this dark, push my mind aside and think from the heart, while I embark on a mission through the park, wait until night, when everything became a shade out of sight, where my accomplice is the limpid star light, look towards the far right, there's a person dressed exactly as me, the shady hue makes it really hard to see, get wind of white noise, I had to fight for a peace of...

Tears of The Dying
A heavy feeling in the air, see I couldn't prepare, what was I meant to witness there? Shrouded in dark, disinclined, heads down as they marched, working for a stalemate can taste particularly tart, keep the faith, see fatalities galore, death stepped in a home and then politely locked the door, dropping bodies on the floor, emaciation is a typical thing, here the circumstances couldn't be explained, I see a walking skeleton, placing grains and praying for change, only to pass away the following day, leaving families behind, the little children couldn't handle her dying, nobody's there to...

Dedicated 2 Her
Close your eyes and try to picture, a women with dreams, so full of pride but so passionate, or so had it seemed, beneath the bling that she kept, was a scream for help, and memories that would bring on the grief she felt, but if she ever told a soul, she would break the “rules”, she didn’t feel she should break the news, so not a thing she could do, screamed “stop!” but the brother refused, at 16, feelin’ used and abused, say she wants to “end” it , and it might be tonight, but I tell her to keep the faith cause’ her future is bright, can’t say I understand her pain, but I’m familiar with...

Without The Rose-Colored Lens
Keep the faith but peep the trouble from a distance, if I would’ve listened, we wouldn’t be facing this decision, because intuition had left me hesitant but bold, I took forth this position and let my legacy unfold, but the path that was chosen was only lonely, twice as cold, making room for a person without a conscience nor a soul, without money or power, but with a solid heart of gold, only through some oppression is when your guiding light can show, if I had the right to know what was next, I couldn’t be held back, but I can see the path I lead, is a trap in deed, and the people who...

Screaming Stop The Violence
Last night, I dreamed of "stop the silence", on the corner screaming stop the violence! As I return to my quiet study, hope they have a lighter for me, I can see what needs to change but still don't have the money, flip on the tube, and I’m amused by the news, a little confused, say, who’d they choose the make the rules? They choose to hate the few, who refuse to accept corruption, and they just won’t blame themselves for nothing, take a walk in the night, through a site, where death just left, another breath, analyze every step, and I can hear the cries for help, as I despise myself, as if I...
