Don't have a title yet.. Suggestions?
I feel like this is complete shit but I'll share it anyway..
Last night I dreamed that I had died,
and I stood over myself and cried.
I didn't get to shoot the Moon,
I never felt a love that made me swoon.
I came close a handful of times,
Gave my Heart but I lost my mind.
I thought it would come back someday,
Now im just a soul in search of hideaway,
Oh, mama, I wish I had a little time to stay.
I was pulled to the sky where I came to a gate,
The man there said that I had to wait.
Next thing I new I was there,
In a theatre that...

Reveries of some distant past.
The memories of your skin,
Reveries Im lost in
The taste of you still in my mind.
The smell of you lingers,
I feel you on my fingers,
It's like you're here most of the time.
I've tried to move forward,
I just can't get over
The way I felt when you were here.
Like Time had no meaning,
Like Life was not fleeting,
And all of the world disappeared.
Could it be I'm just Lonely,
Longing for someone, only
To find out there's nobody there?
Or maybe I AM captivated,
By a woman elated,
And I've but to reach out if I dare.
The...

Relapse
I find myself ever the fool for you.
Addicted to the way you smell,
The way you taste, the things you do.
Addicted to your Cold, Dark Hell,
And all the pain you put me through.
Can't turn away,
Can't learn to stay.
Can't look at you
I fear I'd stray.
What can I do? What can I do?
All the walls I build collapse
And I crumble at the thought of you.
Would it be so bad if I relapsed?
Would I still feel bad if I relapse?
Addicted to the way you smell,
The way you taste, the things you do.
Addicted to your Cold, Dark Hell,
And all the pain you put me through.
Can't turn away,
Can't learn to stay.
Can't look at you
I fear I'd stray.
What can I do? What can I do?
All the walls I build collapse
And I crumble at the thought of you.
Would it be so bad if I relapsed?
Would I still feel bad if I relapse?

Into Oblivion
Hello, oblivion, my dearest friend.
You found me here because it never ends.
Thoughts and memories and dreams,
They all weigh down so heavily.
You found me cause I brought you here,
In case I need to disappear.
And now, once more, I need embrace,
So hold me here inside your Grace,
And don't let go until I'm blue in face.
Don't let go, this is my hideaway.
You found me here because it never ends.
Thoughts and memories and dreams,
They all weigh down so heavily.
You found me cause I brought you here,
In case I need to disappear.
And now, once more, I need embrace,
So hold me here inside your Grace,
And don't let go until I'm blue in face.
Don't let go, this is my hideaway.

The Tempest, The Sea & Me
Lo, the Tempest and the Sea.
The winds thrash ye vessels
and the waters swallow them down deep.
Lo, and be wary, for also this is Me.
As vicious as the Tempest,
as spiteful as the raging Sea.
The winds thrash ye vessels
and the waters swallow them down deep.
Lo, and be wary, for also this is Me.
As vicious as the Tempest,

The Damned
There's no chance for us,
All our Time slips through our hands.
It's just a glance for us,
And then we're just dust in the sand.
We're the damned in Life,
And we'll die young in our time.
We are full of strife,
With heavy minds we won't survive.
In your Hearts we'll live forever,
In our Dreams some Peace we'll find.
We'll go on inside the Never,
We'll live on so, please, don't cry.
There's many names for us,
They're so vile and unkind.
They bring shame to us,
Shame that's all too easy to find.
It's not who we are,
Just what...
All our Time slips through our hands.
It's just a glance for us,
And then we're just dust in the sand.
We're the damned in Life,

With heavy minds we won't survive.

Evasion
Her Heart yearned for Death,
She loved the sadness of it
but was obsessed with the beauty of it,
Needed to be surrounded by it,
Even hungered for it.
The first time i met her I died a thousand times, maybe more,
Heart failure, fatal blows to the mind, random acts of stupidity...
The works.
But she craved things like twisted dreams.
She liked to feel a fading life clutched within her grasp
And watch the Soul evade its host when it breathes last.
She craved something that I could give her only once.
Something I had no use for any...

Untitled. For now
I hope you understand that I could never allow age,
Only in youth and youthfulness am I to spend my days.
The life I chose is self destruction at a steady pace,
And any way the wind blows I will leave this World with Grace.
So if one day I drift away, from aging and this place,
Just know I will have left with naught but smiles on my face.
Feel not sorrow for my mind or for my faded Sun,
But rejoice knowing that there's Dreams to come,
And, once again, another page has only just begun.
Only in youth and youthfulness am I to spend my days.
The life I chose is self destruction at a steady pace,
And any way the wind blows I will leave this World with Grace.
So if one day I drift away, from aging and this place,
Just know I will have left with naught but smiles on my face.
Feel not sorrow for my mind or for my faded Sun,
But rejoice knowing that there's Dreams to come,
And, once again, another page has only just begun.

Farewell
"There, calling for me from the back of my mind,
Echoes the voice of The One kept inside
It screams and it whispers to just drift away,
'This place is so cold, why would you stay?
Why stay here in chaos, in this world and at 'home',
Why live the indignity of the waste that you roam?
So much is inside you, if you'll close your eyes,
The Darkness is waiting for you to arrive.
Don't be so quick to think ill of the Dark,
For all of creation from just that got its start.
I won't force you to do what you don't want to do,
Just think of the things we...

~Tear Away~
She's watching me,
I feel Her lurking silently.
Each breath I take.
Each move I make.
I feel Her like She's everything.
I hear Her now,
Gentle footsteps creaking through the house.
I lay my head back and expose my neck,
I feel Her cold and trembling breath.
then her voice cried out aloud,
"No! this isn't me!
No! this can not be!
I want to devour the soul you keep."
Open my eyes,
in front of me, to my surprise,
Sniffing at the air,
a rabid, lonesome stare,
A Creature of the Night in no disguise.
Her pale, white...
I feel Her lurking silently.
Each breath I take.
Each move I make.
I feel Her like She's everything.
I hear Her now,
Gentle footsteps creaking through the house.
I lay my head back and expose my neck,
I feel Her cold and trembling breath.

Beautiful Friend
She rocks me to comfort,
She rocks me to sleep,
She wipes off my troubles,
And my tears when I weep.
She's something, I tell you,
And She's, somehow, into me.
I know She's not perfect,
But She's flawed perfectly.
I find I often think,
Of those big, hazel eyes,
And even when I Dream,
Her spell's got me hypnotized.
I'm happy just to know Her,
And see Her Heart shine,
But every time I see Her,
I wish Her lips could meet mine.
I know they'd be great friends,
And miss each other when they part.
Such a Beautiful Thing,

Gypsy Woman
If ever Beauty I truly did see,
I found it inside of a Gypsy Queen.
Her Love is so raw and Her Heart is so free,
And once we're alone She gives them to me.
She offers the World, and I do believe
It's inside Her kisses which induce my best dreams.
Even now that She is gone of Her lips I still think,
And of Her green eyes which fade out everything.
Gypsy woman, Oh, Gypsy Queen,
Keep rambling with the wind but, please,
Someday come rambling back to me.
I feel Her Heart shine and I see Her Pain,
I'd give the best of me to take it all...
