Playing The Fool
My heart is heavy as I lay here tonight
Thinking of all that I never get right
Holding back tears as I try not to feel
Pain from a lifetime of wounds that wont heal
I find it so hard to believe that I matter
If I get fooled again then my heart might just shatter
Im so fucking tired of feeling alone
Caution to the wind over any kindness shown
Setting myself up to be hurt in the end
Fully committed while they play pretend
Am I really better off now that I care?
All it seems to bring is getting caught...
Thinking of all that I never get right
Holding back tears as I try not to feel
Pain from a lifetime of wounds that wont heal
I find it so hard to believe that I matter
If I get fooled again then my heart might just shatter
Im so fucking tired of feeling alone
Caution to the wind over any kindness shown
Setting myself up to be hurt in the end
Fully committed while they play pretend
Am I really better off now that I care?
All it seems to bring is getting caught...

I don't give a fuck
I cant possibly count how many times I've said those words
There was a time when I meant it
Can't remember the last time that was
If anyone would give a fuck its me
All I do is give a fuck
About everyone
Except me
Thats the only time when I mean it
The only time when it's not a lie
The weight of everyone else hangs on me
Like sandbags strapped to every part of my body
Their sadness, their stress
It becomes mine
It becomes my responsibility
I want to fix it...

A Piece Of Me
If you look for me and I'm not around
I hope you don't feel like I've let you down
Go on without me and live your best
Dont be sad, don't be depressed
I know your strength, you'll make it through
All you need is inside of you
Keep moving towards what you desire
Dont let up, don't lose that fire
The words I leave behind will be
A way to save a piece of me
Know that you are in my heart
You may not understand, but I must depart
Believe in yourself the way that I do
Believe it when I say...
I hope you don't feel like I've let you down
Go on without me and live your best
Dont be sad, don't be depressed
I know your strength, you'll make it through
All you need is inside of you
Keep moving towards what you desire
Dont let up, don't lose that fire
The words I leave behind will be
A way to save a piece of me
Know that you are in my heart
You may not understand, but I must depart
Believe in yourself the way that I do
Believe it when I say...

I Was Never Here
Maybe you thought you saw me
But I was never here at all
Perhaps all I've ever really been
Is some writing on the wall
An echo of pain bouncing around
Looking for an escape
Trauma and sorrow from deep in the void
Briefly able to take shape
A disembodied voice you might have heard
A whisper that came from the dark
Passing through these halls unseen
While barely leaving a mark
Quickly forgotten and written off
As nothing more than a trick of the mind
Fading away with the passing...
But I was never here at all
Perhaps all I've ever really been
Is some writing on the wall
An echo of pain bouncing around
Looking for an escape
Trauma and sorrow from deep in the void
Briefly able to take shape
A disembodied voice you might have heard
A whisper that came from the dark
Passing through these halls unseen
While barely leaving a mark
Quickly forgotten and written off
As nothing more than a trick of the mind
Fading away with the passing...

Figure In The Distance
I see a figure in the distance and it draws me in
Feels like forever I've been walking in this desolate land
Her hair sways in the slight breeze that blows across the open wasteland
She motions for me to come to her and I feel like Ive been found
I fight through the exhaustion and quicken my pace
As I crest a hill I look up to see how much farther I have to go
There is no one around for miles and miles
I scan the horizon for some sign of life, something to move towards
Im alone again in this...
Feels like forever I've been walking in this desolate land
Her hair sways in the slight breeze that blows across the open wasteland
She motions for me to come to her and I feel like Ive been found
I fight through the exhaustion and quicken my pace
As I crest a hill I look up to see how much farther I have to go
There is no one around for miles and miles
I scan the horizon for some sign of life, something to move towards
Im alone again in this...

DARK POEM

The Eyes of Death
Sometimes these thoughts run through my head
Of losing myself and leaving everyone dead
Tearing of flesh and shattering of bones
In a symphony of screams and guttural groans
Blood soaked walls are a deep crimson delight
Watching life leaving eyes is a beautiful sight
They beg for mercy but I have none to give
Offering up deals if I just let them live
I allow them to speak so I can feel their fear
Before I impale them on the end of a spear
The higher the body count, the better I feel ...
Of losing myself and leaving everyone dead
Tearing of flesh and shattering of bones
In a symphony of screams and guttural groans
Blood soaked walls are a deep crimson delight
Watching life leaving eyes is a beautiful sight
They beg for mercy but I have none to give
Offering up deals if I just let them live
I allow them to speak so I can feel their fear
Before I impale them on the end of a spear
The higher the body count, the better I feel ...
