Faith
I was faithful
I tried
I said my prayers and acted as the good daughter
What did I do wrong?
What angered you enough to damn me?
To twist my soul into oblivion
A good little Orthodox girl
A girl who believed
A girl who loved
Dead to you
Now and forever
Dead is her faith
I tried
I said my prayers and acted as the good daughter
What did I do wrong?
What angered you enough to damn me?
To twist my soul into oblivion
A good little Orthodox girl
A girl who believed
A girl who loved
Dead to you
Now and forever
Dead is her faith

Numb
I don't want to feel
Not anymore
Not in this world
A sharp blade
Or a shiny needle
Might take it all away
Only for a while
Never a permanent refuge
Never a safe haven
Why can't I just be numb?
Not anymore

Or a shiny needle
Might take it all away
Only for a while
Never a permanent refuge

Why can't I just be numb?

Dead Stars
Grecian tales of a Spartan sort
A whole world quiet to the eyes of man
Dark past and silent futures
Humanity blind to their own faults
For they are thine own holy

Confused
It's all in your head
It's all in your head
That's all he ever said
The pain, the panic?
All in my head?
In my head?
He says it so
But I really don't know
Real or faked?
Or are those bastards just baked?
Trapped me there
My own slice of hell
Just as well
Jackets with straps
Came into fashion
Locked away
My own horrific passions
Death no more
Did that crow just cry nevermore?
It's all in your head
That's all he ever said
The pain, the panic?
All in my head?
In my head?
He says it so
But I really don't know
Real or faked?
Or are those bastards just baked?
Trapped me there
My own slice of hell
Just as well
Jackets with straps
Came into fashion
Locked away
My own horrific passions
Death no more
Did that crow just cry nevermore?

Realization
It takes you so long to realize
That the monsters are in our heads
And even our shadows' leave us alone to bleed in the dark
So very long to realize you've dug yourself into a grave
So deep you can't get out
How long will it take you to realize
That you're already dead
That the monsters are in our heads
And even our shadows' leave us alone to bleed in the dark
So very long to realize you've dug yourself into a grave
So deep you can't get out
How long will it take you to realize
That you're already dead

Walls
Trapped
A small creature
Trembling with fear
What is it you ask?
It's you
Your dreams and ambitions
Your happiness and love
All hidden by this hideous melancholy
A storm of rage and a sea of depression
Blocks your path
A path to memories and happiness
Mountains of anxiety tower over any chance of friendships
Built to protect?
Or to imprison?
The walls of your mind
A small creature
Trembling with fear
What is it you ask?
It's you
Your dreams and ambitions
Your happiness and love
All hidden by this hideous melancholy
A storm of rage and a sea of depression
Blocks your path
A path to memories and happiness
Mountains of anxiety tower over any chance of friendships
Built to protect?
Or to imprison?
The walls of your mind

Theater
Blackened walls
Graffiti splattered floors
A shriveled husk of former glory
Beauty stolen by age and the elements
A house of the arts
Turned to a house of pain
Ghosts of the aristocracy
Seen in smoky mirrors
Once used for beauty
Now a den of sin
How it could've fallen so far
We shall never know
Graffiti splattered floors
A shriveled husk of former glory
Beauty stolen by age and the elements
A house of the arts
Turned to a house of pain
Ghosts of the aristocracy
Seen in smoky mirrors
Once used for beauty
Now a den of sin
How it could've fallen so far
We shall never know

Wasn't her Time
How did this happen?
How is she gone?
A severed limb
A withered beauty
Lost for eternity
Memories playing nonstop behind my eyes
All of her
No rest for the living
The loss of her soul weighs on mine
Is she with God?
Is there a God?
How he could take her from me
Only four months old
My precious Anneliese
She was an innocent
Is she paying for my sins?
Or is she with her aunt?
I tried my best
I was only seventeen
You cruel bastard
How dare you
Why couldn't you have taken me?
Why did you have to take my...

Scars
Deep lines
Ugly and old crisscrossing skin
Permanent reminders of old pain
Some old
Some new
Straight slices across wrists and thighs
Hidden by snowflakes and stars
Bullet that clipped my hip
Disguised by vines
Ink can hide but never erase the damage
Done to my body
Done to my soul
Self destruction and violence
Left ugly and scarred skin
Old marks He left
Hidden by the mighty dragon
A symbol of rebirth
Every spot tells a story
Every ink hides another
An ugly soul
Broken beyond repair
Traced with old injuries...
Ugly and old crisscrossing skin
Permanent reminders of old pain

Sinful dance
I piroute
Deep strains of cello filtering through
Leaping across the stage
No one here
Just me
My music
My demons
Faster and faster I twirl
Trying to escape
Not even this keeps them at bay
Reaching out
Grabbing me
Dragging me into there sinful dance
Spinning me
Round and round
Stealing my soul
Bit by bit
Crushing the fragments of my heart into powder
To be blown across the floor
My perfect partner
Thinks they destroy
They only build
Walls against love
Against friendship
Against pain
Now...
Deep strains of cello filtering through
Leaping across the stage
No one here
Just me
My music
My demons
Faster and faster I twirl
Trying to escape
Not even this keeps them at bay
Reaching out
Grabbing me
Dragging me into there sinful dance
Spinning me
Round and round
Stealing my soul
Bit by bit
Crushing the fragments of my heart into powder
To be blown across the floor
My perfect partner
Thinks they destroy
They only build
Walls against love
Against friendship
Against pain

Masochism
The pain
The sweet, agonizing, whips of fire across her body
Delicate bites traced down her back
Left by creatures unknown
Dark denizens of the night
Selling herself to them
In her beautiful UnderCity
Selling herself for little bits of Never
The rush
The invincibility
It pumping through her veins
Dispelling humanity for a moment
Destroying her bit by bit
Until she fades into oblivion
How she used to fear those monsters
The bloodsuckers
The lycanthropes
Even the damned fae
How they would haunt her dreams
Taunting...

Ink
Sharp pain
Breathe through it
Another stab of the needle
Ink and blood mix
Dark stories told on skin
Of love lost
Of homes ruined
Of pain survived
A dragon on your shoulder
A snowflake on you wrist
A rose on your ankle
Every spot tells a story
The H behind you ear
The stars on you leg
The vines on you ribcage
Painful art
Scarlet and black
Silver and violet
Depicts innocent pictures
Hides a horrible past
The dragon hides scars from his beatings
The snowflake hides self destruction
The rose tells of a...
