The Spider
Look what I see when I close my eyes
I see this web hidden in disguise
Behind the eyelids it likes to hide
Let's look deeper what's inside
A spectrum of the spiders web
Thoughts determine my mind's ebb
I look to see where they will lead
This is a colorful wicked web indeed
Am I the spider do you know
Creating this intricate trap for show
Thinking I had all the power ...

FInal Nine
Life's a joke love isn't blind
Our love affair undermined
Sad and lonely I await
One day closer to number eight
The journey of pain is how I feel
At least I know what isn't real
Can't hide the truth time tells all
No more hiding in my denial
It's good to know I'm glad you're fine
As am I I'm down to nine
So here I wait patiently
One day closer to eternity
In the end I don't mind
Just counting down my final nine
Our love affair undermined
Sad and lonely I await
One day closer to number eight
The journey of pain is how I feel
At least I know what isn't real
Can't hide the truth time tells all
No more hiding in my denial
It's good to know I'm glad you're fine
As am I I'm down to nine
So here I wait patiently
One day closer to eternity
In the end I don't mind
Just counting down my final nine

Ten Days
If I heard silence would anyone know
If I saw black would anyone see
One last part of me feeling so low
Life flashed by my enraged reality
The shadows surrounding me seem to grow
And their silent echoes are taunting me
The haunting ten days I still have to go
Explain the mystery of my eternity
I close my eyes so i can know
If I lie still motionless will I be
In ten days the futures past will slow
Approaching my predetermined destiny
The future of life time doesn't owe
Drying those tears once shed on me
Ten days to...

Darkened Night
Demons chased after me
But my thoughts all died
I tried to escape this misery
But soon then I realized
I succumbed back to now
And saw the blood red sky
Satan followed but allowed
Escape and a kiss good bye
But the demons came again
Trying to steal my tortured soul
This evil that condescends
The never ending vicious cycle
Quickly I look around
But all I see is death
Praying I escape the underground
I close my eyes and hold my breath
Thinking of my final days
Before that one I cried ...
But my thoughts all died

Quickly I look around
But all I see is death

Mirrors
Imminent death appears crystal clearer
And reflections haunt me in the mirror
Answers defy me with blank souless stares
Courage grips me and life it dares
My love of life is bleeding out
Searching for rain in this drought
Trapped twisted configurations
Tasting these lucid temptations
Silence surrounds the quiet in me
Slivers of death is all I see
Tattooed body with sharpened teeth
Who I saw I did not believe
Soon my visions are all too real
When I escape this hell will feel
Furious anger and all that's true
What once...

Dead Roses
I always like to prepare
And be ready for the big day
On time I plan to be there
Careful thoughts of what to say
To show what you mean to me
And share this day together
Even though we'd disagree
You've been like this forever
Despite your misery I would tolerate
And the cheating on me you gave
As a reminder of all the hate
Today I visit your grave
Just so i can return the pain
Of the hell you made me feel
Listening to you always complain
And your nastiness was unreal

Awakened
Glanced at destiny
Truth is a mystery
Crazed voices laughing at me
Hidden cries left to be
Studied this picture
Subdued in time
Haunted and tortured
Left to feel fine
Dancing with spirits
On a cloud
I finally can hear it
I have been endowed
I chose this golden day
Left to wait and see
As memories drift away
Scarred and never free
Insanity I don't want this mind
Disillusioned it makes no sense
The reality never did I find
Just confusion and the...

Determined I stare in the mirror
Reflective thoughts were never clearer
These subtle words I soon share
Will leave you speechless but aware
Of my thoughts and my intent
My life of lies caused this descent
My broken heart and shattered dreams
Intoxication drugs and all that seems
The attempts I tried to drown my pain
Medications swallowed left me insane
I hid from life in this disguise
But now it's time to expose my lies

I Am The Light
I am innocence
I do not hide in shadows
I am unafraid
Unafraid of the darkness
I illuminate your path
Your journey
Your escape from darkness
I am smarter and brighter
I conquer
I overcome the night everyday
I am true strength
I provide hope
I am the lightning that owns the storm
I am the light
I breathe life into shadows and silohettes
I inspire the spectrum of colors
Powerful enough to create rainbows
Yet soft and gentle
A halo of radiant warmth
I welcome every...

I Am Darkness
A vast eternal blanket
That consumes all
I am the black that fills the void
I am the void
A dark hole inside and out
A whole hole
I provide comfort
While inspiring your darkest thoughts
I am what you see when you dream
I am your life after death
I am death
I am darkness
The corruption of the world is fed by me
I am impenetrable and caliginous
I give chaos strength
I am not denied
There are no shades of me
I am darkness
I've existed since the dawn of time
I will always...

Uncomplicated
As I lie here awake
Your whispers haunt the thickened air
This loneliness I cannot take
I feel your breath like you were there
All the time we've been as one
Like our world would never end
Before I knew it you were gone
What was real were we pretend
All your laughter and those tears
Cherished forever in my heart
When I reflect over the years
Losing you was the hardest part
It's so hard to explain what I feel
And that you were a part of me
So when...
Your whispers haunt the thickened air
This loneliness I cannot take
I feel your breath like you were there
All the time we've been as one
Like our world would never end

Cherished forever in my heart
When I reflect over the years

I Am Time
A wave of the vacant abyss
Crashing in each day
While simultaneously
Drifting further away from myself
Alone on my raft
I seek salvation
Redemption
The crescent moon guides my path
My search for eternal peace
My search for a new beginning
My determination to end the past
The darkness of night tries to consume me
But I hold on
I fight for survival
I fight back
Life and death
I overcome every emotion
Love and fear ...
Crashing in each day

Drifting further away from myself
Alone on my raft
I seek salvation
Redemption
The crescent moon guides my path
My search for eternal peace
My search for a new beginning

The darkness of night tries to consume me
But I hold on
I fight for survival
I fight back
Life and death
I overcome every emotion
Love and fear ...
