Stranger
Im strange like a whisper
When you're sleeping at night,
The voice outside the window
Whispering a sweet sleep tight.
Im strange like the stranger
Smiling while walking by,
Painting smiles on my face
While wearing you inside my mind.
Im strange but im no stranger,
In fact, they love it so,
Laughing , like I joke about
turning people into clothes.
Its presentation at its best,
Just have to laugh and smile,
Once you've hidden in plain sight
You're allowed to be so vile.
When you're sleeping at night,
The voice outside the window
Whispering a sweet sleep tight.
Im strange like the stranger
Smiling while walking by,
Painting smiles on my face
While wearing you inside my mind.
Im strange but im no stranger,
In fact, they love it so,
Laughing , like I joke about
turning people into clothes.
Its presentation at its best,
Just have to laugh and smile,
Once you've hidden in plain sight
You're allowed to be so vile.

I didnt name it because I feel like it's shit and shit only has one name. Shit. But some people like shit,
so here it is:
Thy Poison Is bitter, yet sweetness remains
It lingers on tongue while it seeps into veins
All muscles clench tight then release with a sigh
As thy poison hits Heart and the Sun falls from sky
I close my eyes,
Let burn the fire deep inside
Let the Poison seep inside.
Have I died? Have I died?
Or am I imprisoned inside of my mind?
Thy poison, though bitter and surely my death,
Gives sweetness to otherwise...
so here it is:

All muscles clench tight then release with a sigh
As thy poison hits Heart and the Sun falls from sky

Let the Poison seep inside.
Have I died? Have I died?
Or am I imprisoned inside of my mind?
Thy poison, though bitter and surely my death,

I'm not really sure what to call this one...
I went to kiss her but her lips had gone cold,
She saw A Devil draw His needle and She sold off Her Soul.
Now She's cold and She's blue in that Devils embrace,
With Solace and Oblivion shone there on her face.
I wonder what she ran from that took her to That.
What woes came in life that made Her turn it to black?
Nobody will know now, though they'll think they do.
Nobody really knew Her cause she never told the truth.
I only saw through Her pain and her lies,
But could I say I knew her? No. But I tried.
She saw A Devil draw His needle and She sold off Her Soul.
Now She's cold and She's blue in that Devils embrace,
With Solace and Oblivion shone there on her face.
I wonder what she ran from that took her to That.
What woes came in life that made Her turn it to black?
Nobody will know now, though they'll think they do.
Nobody really knew Her cause she never told the truth.

But could I say I knew her? No. But I tried.

Secret(s)~
I long to hear your secrets.
Oh, such amazing tales
Must have been cast into your breezes.
Only one I wish to hear, though,
Only one I wish to hold,
That another may learn a secret
Of yours,
one I do not know.
Oh, such amazing tales

Darkness
When you asked Me how I Love the night
I simply smiled and said "utterly".
But did you know it holds me tight,
And all its creatures are a part of me?
Did you know upon the Moon I dance,
And sing with lonesome Stars?
Or that every time I get the chance
I let the cold, dark Wind in Heart?
I do not simply love the Night,
For simple is not deep enough.
I crave and yearn to feel its plight,
And instead fill its depths with Love.
You think the Night is filled with fright,
But little did you know,
The only monsters lurking there...
I simply smiled and said "utterly".
But did you know it holds me tight,
And all its creatures are a part of me?
Did you know upon the Moon I dance,
And sing with lonesome Stars?
Or that every time I get the chance

I do not simply love the Night,
For simple is not deep enough.
I crave and yearn to feel its plight,
And instead fill its depths with Love.
You think the Night is filled with fright,
But little did you know,

~Closure~
I took what was not given,
I heard what was not said.
I saw what was not there
And now all hope is dead.
You gave me a mere taste
Of something that you feigned,
And when I wanted proof
I was the one to blame.
Not you, of course, god, no!
It cant be ALL your fault.
All you did was tell some lies
And fill the wounds with salt.
All you did was tell me,
Never showed me you were true.
All you did was fool me
Into being in love with you.
All you did was take
Never thought to give.
Thats how it is with you
Take what you need...
I heard what was not said.
I saw what was not there
And now all hope is dead.
You gave me a mere taste
Of something that you feigned,
And when I wanted proof
I was the one to blame.
Not you, of course, god, no!
It cant be ALL your fault.
All you did was tell some lies
And fill the wounds with salt.
All you did was tell me,
Never showed me you were true.
All you did was fool me
Into being in love with you.
All you did was take
Never thought to give.
Thats how it is with you
Take what you need...

Suction Gun
Inside these shaking hands
A gun that only sprays.
It soothes the broken man
With promises of better days.
But Im no fool, in fact
I've found this gun before.
It fades the world to black
And hides you, nothing more.
It wont change anything
Except what's inside you.
Nightmares become of Dreams
And shooting thoughts all you can do.
Soon all you are is shots,
Shot deep within yourself.
Shooting at relentless thoughts
Perpetuating your own Hell.
I'll find no peace with guns
That I shoot at myself.
I'd sooner try to run ...
A gun that only sprays.
It soothes the broken man
With promises of better days.
But Im no fool, in fact
I've found this gun before.
It fades the world to black
And hides you, nothing more.
It wont change anything
Except what's inside you.
Nightmares become of Dreams
And shooting thoughts all you can do.
Soon all you are is shots,
Shot deep within yourself.
Shooting at relentless thoughts
Perpetuating your own Hell.
I'll find no peace with guns
That I shoot at myself.

Fade Back
I wrote this to show how much some Love is like a Drug and Drugs are like Some Love... It is about both a person and a drug.
I never knew what I was doing,
I just dove in and swam to You.
I looked at You and I saw something,
I looked at You and saw abuse.
I held You in my arms for eons,
I hold You still in my Dreams sometimes.
You were Light, though You brought Darkness,
You were my bitter-sweet peace of mind.
But it fades... Like You do.
it fades right back to Blue.
It's strange...how I love You
Cause when it...
I never knew what I was doing,
I just dove in and swam to You.
I looked at You and I saw something,
I looked at You and saw abuse.
I held You in my arms for eons,
I hold You still in my Dreams sometimes.
You were Light, though You brought Darkness,
You were my bitter-sweet peace of mind.
But it fades... Like You do.
it fades right back to Blue.

Legion
We do not want your sympathy,
We do not want your Gold.
We have gathered in this being,
To take possession of your Souls.
We have come from the Hollows,
We have ascended the depths.
We have found one who follows
One who brings with him Death.
We are not one, but many,
Many more than you'd like.
Many Souls with great hatred,
Many men in our sights.
We are here in His Name,
Not He above, but He below.
Descendants of the Flame,
And keepers of His Souls.
We are here for your wicked,
We are here for your weak. ...

~Let Go~
I've been watching you, dear friend,
The way you talk, the words you've said.
You should know I see right through,
I see the colors inside you.
Your heart is cold, your touch sublime,
You feel like dying all the time.
You've got the weight of all the world,
There on your shoulders, don't you, Girl?
-
Just let it go...just let it go.
its not easy, oh, I know,
But you have to let it go.
-
That old familiar one-way track,
Keeps on pulling, pulling you back
and, though, I know you fight it so,
Round...
The way you talk, the words you've said.
You should know I see right through,
I see the colors inside you.
Your heart is cold, your touch sublime,
You feel like dying all the time.
You've got the weight of all the world,
There on your shoulders, don't you, Girl?
-
Just let it go...just let it go.
its not easy, oh, I know,
But you have to let it go.
-
That old familiar one-way track,
Keeps on pulling, pulling you back
and, though, I know you fight it so,

Untitled 04/27/16
Nothing to them, nothing to you,
Empty vessel marked with scars of truth.
Holes in my arms, holes in my hands,
Where once was life but now just sand.
Empty the days, empty am I,
Empty are places that once felt so alive.
So much has come, so much has gone,
So little life and, yet, it feels dreadfully long.
To Stars I scream, to Stars I pray,
If only for a moment...
Wont you please take me away?
Empty vessel marked with scars of truth.
Holes in my arms, holes in my hands,
Where once was life but now just sand.
Empty the days, empty am I,
Empty are places that once felt so alive.
So much has come, so much has gone,
So little life and, yet, it feels dreadfully long.
To Stars I scream, to Stars I pray,
If only for a moment...
Wont you please take me away?

The End
Woe unto the Land
and woe unto the Sea,
For all the woes of Man
will destroy them ruthlessly.
Each sprout sprung from the Earth
Down to the creatures of the Deep.
None will be unscathed by Doom,
Which Man has come to reap.
Like fire Man will consume all,
Until its dying breath.
Oblivious that The Host will fall,
And naught will come from them save Death.
Alas, I say unto the Mass,
What power have you gained?
What came from destroying The Host?
Naught but suffering and pain.
All so you could live a life
of power that you...
and woe unto the Sea,
For all the woes of Man
will destroy them ruthlessly.
Each sprout sprung from the Earth
Down to the creatures of the Deep.
None will be unscathed by Doom,
Which Man has come to reap.
Like fire Man will consume all,
Until its dying breath.
Oblivious that The Host will fall,
And naught will come from them save Death.
Alas, I say unto the Mass,
What power have you gained?
What came from destroying The Host?
Naught but suffering and pain.
All so you could live a life
