CONCEAL
Conceal
Don't feel
Plaster a smile on your face
Remember your place
Dance that same old dance
Happiness at first glance
Conceal
Don't feel
Happiness at first glance
Don't give them the chance
Keep them away from the fringes
Your coming off the hinges
Conceal
Don't feel
Your coming off the hinges
Blinded buy the vision
Of the misty gray
Of all your yeasterdays
Conceal
Don't feel
Of all your yesterdays
Only sorrow flowed your way
But...
Don't feel
Plaster a smile on your face
Remember your place
Dance that same old dance
Happiness at first glance
Conceal
Don't feel
Happiness at first glance
Don't give them the chance
Keep them away from the fringes
Your coming off the hinges
Conceal
Don't feel
Your coming off the hinges
Blinded buy the vision
Of the misty gray
Of all your yeasterdays
Conceal
Don't feel
Of all your yesterdays
Only sorrow flowed your way

Song of the Lark
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The light I did pursue
But the dark it did ensue
Though I ran with all my might
The darkness remained right by my side
It remained like a moonless night
No guiding light
To alumminate my flight
It wasn't right
The darkness I could not fight
In this darkness ment to stand
Only seeing brighter lands
The Sun glistening through the trees
I could almost feel the breeze
It brought me to my knees
To pray to a God that doesn't see
...

So it Began
So it began, my life of pain
Covered in shame
Step-dad laid his claim
So it began, my life of woe
Down the rabbit hole
Some known how the story goes
So it began my life of tragedy
It happened so rapidly
It is now my woven tapestry
So it began, my life of regrets
Sadly it's not over yet
Impaled daily on life's bayonet

Refined
Hardened and honed
Right down to the bone
Unreachable
Untouchable
Refined in the fires
Of monsters' desires
Irredemable
Irretrievable
Forever being oppressed
Pressed and compressed
Inescapable
Ineluctable
Walking this world alone
Dragging a heart of stone
Unbreachable
Unbreakable
No longer afraid
A warrior was made

Carnival of Freaks
Welcome to her house of many bones
Step into one of life's great unknowns
With broken dreams and shattered heart
In this carnival of freaks she is apart
For the price of a ticket you can see
All the horror, and agony there could ever be
All we ask is to put down your stones
On the left is a kingless throne
No love was ever ment to stay
I don't know why, it's just that way
On your left is the dreams that's died
Where want and reality did collide
In the next room you will find
All the demons that are in her mind ...

Waiting on the Executioner
Like a tree in the night I get lost in the shadows
Standing here waiting my turn at the gallows
I'm just a mirage
Decked out in camouflage
A black silouet against a sea of gray
The drakness conceals the decay
Watching the moonbeams resistance Against the darks existence
The star's twinkle in denial
But the darkness has been there all the while
Consumed by years of agonizing pain
I don't consider myself even close to sane
Digging through life's haystack to find that proverbial needle

Consumed by years of agonizing pain

Off Balanced
It's hard living in a world where no one cares
While your smothered and shallowed by despair
Sitting here wondering why I was born into this place
Not wanting to be part of this human race
Where money is the great and powerful Oz
It doesn't matter what's the cause
I look and see their hearts have grown cold and calloused
Everything is so off balanced
There is no more unconditional love
No help from up above
We have been abandoned
The trumpets have sounded
Humanity has been stripped of it's compassion
Empathy is in...

Anger
I'm angry, I'm mad, I can only see red
This feeling is demanding, it needs to be feed
I'll rip and I'll tear flesh from the bone
I'll rip and I'll tear your feelings from thier home
I'll stomp on your head, till your eyes become lose
I'll even stomp on your heart if I chose
I will snap every bone in your puny little body
I will snap every emotion till you no longer haughty
When done, I'll have separated your muscle from skin
When done, I'll have separated your body from sin
I'm angry, I'm mad, I can only see red
But don't...

My Rose
The rose has fainted,fell to the dirt
Sorrow lingers like a scent
In it's petals you can see the hurt
Such an agonizing event
I watched its' fall
I had seen its decent
All I do now is cry and bawl
My love was not enough to circumvent
I couldn't stop the bleed
As it faded red to gray
It happened with such speed
Emotions bundled up in disarray
Now it's gone, turned to dust
But its' memories remain
In my heart the agony is thrust
Not even eternity can ease the pain
My rose is gone
My lifes' sand...

My Greatest Sin
You sat across from me with such happiness
I try to mimic your gladness
At this moment I'm so jealous
So wishing I wasn't callous
For I can't have your joyful feeling
Wounds constantly ripped open never healing
I try to match your smile as a tear forms in my eye
I divert my gaze I don't want you to see me cry
It's not fair to you
To always see my darkened hue
No one can stand my sadness
When they start to taste the madness
They all must go away, or the darkness settles in
Then I lose them to my greatest sin ...
