Dont Know What To Call This One
So, I had a fucked up night,
Got twisted shit up in my head.
I thought I had to cry,
But I just smoked a joint instead.
I blew away my mind again,
And lifted up my soul.
Got high as fuck and let this pen
Just take all my control.
Now suddenly my troubled mind
Seems to have gone numb.
And surely, as this pen spits rhymes,
Something of Beauty this way comes.
There's nothing now to bring me down,
In fact, I feel quite high.
My thoughts are gone, my head unbound

Here I Lay Me Down To Sleep
Now that all reasons found are gone,
I cant turn back, I cant go on.
I seek a place where all this wrong
Will fade into a place where I belong.
The Time goes by and all I see
Are painted faces smiling.
We’re full of thoughts that we are free
To be, but we are dreaming hopelessly.
So here I lay me down to sleep,
I beg this ink my soul to keep.
I no longer feel the need
To flee, so don’t you waste your tears on me.
There’s so much Pain and Hate today,
I need to find my hideaway.
I’m tired of this fucking place,
Retracing all these...
I cant turn back, I cant go on.
I seek a place where all this wrong
Will fade into a place where I belong.
The Time goes by and all I see
Are painted faces smiling.
We’re full of thoughts that we are free
To be, but we are dreaming hopelessly.
So here I lay me down to sleep,
I beg this ink my soul to keep.
I no longer feel the need
To flee, so don’t you waste your tears on me.
There’s so much Pain and Hate today,
I need to find my hideaway.
I’m tired of this fucking place,
Retracing all these...

Sunset
Blood begins to fall,
as thoughts begin to fade.
I think about it all
But memories evade.
A smile on my neck,
Dripping life away.
Blood runs down my chest,
As I slowly start to fade.
Silence all around,
And loneliness sets in,
Alone I shall be found,
A dripping smile 'pon my skin.
I fear this is the end,
I finally escaped my Hate.
The damage is done, my friends,
And I've sealed my hopeless fate.
I wish so bad that I could stay,
but pain has...
as thoughts begin to fade.
I think about it all
But memories evade.
A smile on my neck,
Dripping life away.
Blood runs down my chest,
As I slowly start to fade.
Silence all around,
And loneliness sets in,
Alone I shall be found,
A dripping smile 'pon my skin.
I fear this is the end,
I finally escaped my Hate.
The damage is done, my friends,
And I've sealed my hopeless fate.
I wish so bad that I could stay,

Sweet Aries
Sweet Aries,
Your element is Fire.
Consume me,
You are my desire.
Sweet Aries,
Ruled by planet Mars,
The Diamond,
I see inside the stars.
Sweet Aries,
Such an open heart.
I want you,
Come tear me apart.
Sweet Aries,
Ruler of the head,
I'll Love you,
Despite what may be said.
Sweet Aries,
I'm your loving Bull,
Ruled by Venus,
Made to be your fool.
Sweet Aries,
Ruler of the flame,
I am yours,
...
Your element is Fire.
Consume me,
You are my desire.
Sweet Aries,
Ruled by planet Mars,
The Diamond,
I see inside the stars.
Sweet Aries,
Such an open heart.

Come tear me apart.
Sweet Aries,

Something That The Moon Whispered To Me
He Said To Me:
"Steven, I Would Like For You To Share With Those You Hold Dear The Embrace That I Give To You Each Night When You Look To Me For Comfort. I Want You To Hold Them In That Embrace Until You Know They Are A Happier Soul, As I Do You. I Want You To Understand Them When They Seek Your Ears, See Them When They Seek Your Sight, And Love Them When They Seek Your Love. A Friend Is Hard To Come By And If You Do This You Will Never Have To Look Far To Find One.
I Want You To Look At The Soul That Collides With Yours And See That It Is Meant To Happen No Other Way Than...

Ugly
Ugly on the outside, and Ugly looking in,
Need something to show me if there's Beauty in this skin.
I try so hard to see it but Ugliness prevails,
And seeing my reflection just reminds me that I've failed.
I've hid myself from everything and everyone around,
Hid inside myself to hide the Ugliness I've found.
Nothing here I've seen or felt inside of me
Can show me that Beauty, not Beast, is what I see.
Such twisted, grotesque images plague much needed sleep,
And what I do inside of them has been my plague to keep....
Need something to show me if there's Beauty in this skin.
I try so hard to see it but Ugliness prevails,
And seeing my reflection just reminds me that I've failed.
I've hid myself from everything and everyone around,
Hid inside myself to hide the Ugliness I've found.
Nothing here I've seen or felt inside of me
Can show me that Beauty, not Beast, is what I see.
Such twisted, grotesque images plague much needed sleep,
And what I do inside of them has been my plague to keep....

We Rise (We Fall)
We Rise.
Sometimes only so we can fall,
But still we try dispite it all.
So hard we try or at least pretend,
But sometimes falling is means to an end.
Sometimes we rise so fuckin high,
We dont see a thing or question why,
So it seems we fall time and again,
To remind us to remember when.
When everything was worry free,
When blind eyes once saw everything.
When we had naught but far-fetched dreams,
When we cared not what most people deemed.
When sticks and stones kept us for...
Sometimes only so we can fall,
But still we try dispite it all.
So hard we try or at least pretend,
But sometimes falling is means to an end.
Sometimes we rise so fuckin high,
We dont see a thing or question why,

To remind us to remember when.

We Are The Sons
We are the sons of Sorrow,
Born to a world,
With no Hope for tomorrow.
We are the sons of Disease,
With haste all our filth,
Is passed on with a breeze.
We are sons of Temptation,
Our greed is our hunger,
A self-condemnation.
We are the great sons of War,
Such power we have,
And yet still we want more.
We are the great sons of Death,
We value our life,
But we waste every breath.
We are the sons of Silence,
We are feared in the darkness,
For...
Born to a world,
With no Hope for tomorrow.
We are the sons of Disease,
With haste all our filth,
Is passed on with a breeze.

Time For Sleep, Mr. Brown
I Wrote This Just After My Grandpa Died In 2008
Its time for sleep, Mr. Brown,
Time for darkness to come around.
Rest your head, and close your eyes,
And soon the sleep will stop your cries.
Soon you will awake, a young man once again,
Soon you'll be forever free, among your long-lost friends.
Its time for sleep, Mr. Brown,
Time for The Dream to come around.
Close your eyes and away you'll fly,
To that special place inside your mind.
Let go of this day, oh weary man,
...

The House On The End (Where The Angel Sleeps)
That house on the end,
Where the Angel sleeps.
That house on the end,
Also where she weeps.
I saw her today,
She smiled as i passed,
She smiles at everything,
But her smile dont last.
Cause she lives with man,
And he brings her down,
Calls her nasty names,
Just not while im around.
He calls her these names,
Cause he knows they hurt,
Makes her feel shame,
And he treats her like dirt.
And the Angel she cries,
Behind a closed door,
...

Love Song
You can talk to me if you'd like,
But you may not enjoy my noise.
You can sit down if you'd like,
But I cant promise all life's joy.
You can love me if you please,
But i wont say I'll love you back.
Cause love's a prized disease,
Love's a heart attack. But,
You can love me if you'd like,
And i'll just play along.
You can tell me im the one,
But baby you'd be wrong.
You can let me in your heart,
But dont ask me to stay.
You can hold me in the night,
But i'll...
But you may not enjoy my noise.
You can sit down if you'd like,
But I cant promise all life's joy.
You can love me if you please,
But i wont say I'll love you back.
Cause love's a prized disease,
Love's a heart attack. But,
You can love me if you'd like,
And i'll just play along.
