Skinned Alive
Suffocated by agony, dazed with confusion
Stuck in reality, that I'd druther be an illusion
Skinned alive, right straight down to raw emotion
Not a save harbor to be found, on my life's raging ocean
A living oxymoron, I'm raw to the touch but inside hollow
How much more will I be forced to swollow
I must be looking mighty strong
See the universe, keep piling it on
Can't anybody at all tell
Still in the middle of my living hell
Birds tweeting like nothings wrong
Mocking me with their sweet song
How much longer will I...
Stuck in reality, that I'd druther be an illusion
Skinned alive, right straight down to raw emotion
Not a save harbor to be found, on my life's raging ocean
A living oxymoron, I'm raw to the touch but inside hollow
How much more will I be forced to swollow
I must be looking mighty strong
See the universe, keep piling it on
Can't anybody at all tell
Still in the middle of my living hell
Birds tweeting like nothings wrong

A Little Girl and The Rabbit Hole
You know how the story goes
A little girl thrown in the rabbit hole
Sides to steep so there she stays
For years and years and days and days
As she grew the hole got deeper
The world was determined there to keep her
It did a really good job
For living in the hole was very hard
Every time she seen the light
The universe would put up a fight
So she never reached the top
She was always stopped
Now even her bones have gotten cold
In the abyss she's grown gray and old
For others sin's she was made to atone ...

The Gate
I shouldn't even hold on
My children all tell me, you did a little right but mostly all wrong
Feeling like I don't belong
I should let it just end
Boyfriend that will only call me a friend
Down into the darkness I descend
Standing in front of death's gate
Not fast enough to change anyone's fate
Sorrow, anguish, and guilt will not abate
Pumping my veins full of drugs
Never again to feel my soul-friend's hugs
Confronted now with only shrugs
I shouldn't even hold on
I should let it just end ...

My Bleeding Heart
My heart is bleeding again
It will never mend
It will never heal
Into my sleep you steal
Giving dreams of you
How our friendship grew
Waking up to reality
Sorrow is a guarantee
I open my eyes
Sun doesn't sympathize
Winds don't care
Everywhere I look you're there
Life now so mundane
Heart bleeding once again

Rancid Stew
With the reception I'm getting from you
I might as well be in Timbuktu
It's a growing feeling of deja vu
All my words you misconstrue
I tried to explain till in the face I'm peacock blue
One of these days your gonna get whats due
And life, on you is gonna chew
And spit you out like rancid stew
Then maybe you will feel bad for what you do
Treating me like a pair of old brown shoes
Walking on me until your through
An apology is overdue
Don't give me that look you know it's true
With you every thing is a...

A Life's Storyline
Another day and they say "it's a new beginning"
But is it really, it feels more like an ending
An ending of time
In a life that doesn't rhyme
An unending march into the uncertain
Like the droping of life's curtain
Another day closer to the end
But I'm still waiting on my life to begin
I'm tired of this life's storyline
I want a different out come this time
I want happy, not sad
I want the good, not the bad
But there is no off ramp
Sadness leaving it's tattooed stamp
An uneasy feel of being a dirty lost...

A Wild Free Spirit
The winds of change she often rode
A wild free spirt, through the galaxy she strolled
Out in the Milky Way, she liked dipping in her toes
See the silver ripples as outwardly they flow
That fiery auburn hair was always in a whirl
When on Saturn's rings she would go for a twirl
She would wash her soul clean, in Jupiter's waterfall
She always loved listening to that planets howling call
Sadly her heart froze solid in the blizzards of Neptune
She flung herself to the Dark Side of the Moon

Soul-Friend
But alas there was that fateful date
She spiralled down into the hands of fate
Memories emerged from rusty iron doors
Of long forgotten bloody wars
From the horrific deeds both seen and did
She desperately wanted safely hid
So determined to relinquish her soul
Balancing on the edge of a massive Black Hole
Oh, how she wanted to let it all go
Swim in the Styx steady flow
Voices silently scream and thump
"Just jump"
Quickly darting thoughts, makes emotions scurry
A savage combatant, now battle worn and...

A Love Poem
I want to write a love poem
The best the world has ever seen
About two shattered people
Fitting together at their broken seems
I want to write a love poem
That no one can forget
About two lonely people
That where a perfect fit
I want to write a love poem
That transcends past the stars
About two cosmic bodies
That's not imprisoned behind broken bars
I want to write a love poem
So great no one has ever known
Of two tattered spirits
That clung to each other and the love they have shown
I...

Demon's Jaws
Always in the demons jaws
Or in their claws
Here's the knife take a slice, take a bite
Start with innocence and all that's right
Next is the heart, cut it out
No need to shout
Bleed me dry
No need to cry
No need to try
Kill the soul
Do it slow
Watch the blackness flow
Turn me into a monster
Where only anger and agony foster
The innocent little girl, I lost her

A Lover's Cage...... A Lover's Rage
Locked up tight in a lover's cage
Easy target for all his rage
Lies being continually fed
I love you was said
Caught in his web
Sweetly tainted words he continued to weave
How was I ever that damned naive
Blindly continuing to believe
Moved far from home and friends, freedom firmly suppressed
Long sleepless nights and days of no rest
As his crazy obsessions slowly manifest
Walking on eggshells till the next rampage
Locked up tight in an iron cage
Easy prey for all his rage
Never really...
Easy target for all his rage
Lies being continually fed
I love you was said
Caught in his web
Sweetly tainted words he continued to weave
How was I ever that damned naive
Blindly continuing to believe
Moved far from home and friends, freedom firmly suppressed
Long sleepless nights and days of no rest
As his crazy obsessions slowly manifest
Walking on eggshells till the next rampage
Locked up tight in an iron cage

One Stick at a Time
One little stick at a time, you feed the fire
One little stick at a time, it grows higher
One little stick at a time, against yourself you conspire
Carrying a bundle of sticks you cry, "everyone else is to blame"
The relentless winds of time did fan the flame
Now in control the fire takes the reins
With scorching fury it devours all that's within
Till only molten ambers remain under the skin
Can you remember how this story even begins
One little stick at a time, against yourself you conspire
One little stick at a time,...
One little stick at a time, it grows higher
One little stick at a time, against yourself you conspire
Carrying a bundle of sticks you cry, "everyone else is to blame"
The relentless winds of time did fan the flame
Now in control the fire takes the reins
With scorching fury it devours all that's within
Till only molten ambers remain under the skin
Can you remember how this story even begins
One little stick at a time, against yourself you conspire
