The Sun Goes Down
Why does the sun go down
Every time you're not around
I tend to fall apart, every time you leave
All I can do is think of you, without you my heart just grieves
There you go, there you stay
Keeping my love an arm's length away
Please babe you don't have to be afraid
You don't have to keep up your masquerade
If you keep pushing I might not remain
Please look past your old pain
Just look into my eyes and say my name
It's not the same
I'm not her, I won't rip your heart into
Leave you for dead and blue
Can you not see that...
Every time you're not around
I tend to fall apart, every time you leave
All I can do is think of you, without you my heart just grieves
There you go, there you stay
Keeping my love an arm's length away
Please babe you don't have to be afraid
You don't have to keep up your masquerade
If you keep pushing I might not remain
Please look past your old pain
Just look into my eyes and say my name
It's not the same
I'm not her, I won't rip your heart into
Leave you for dead and blue

My Muse
Have you forgotten how this works
We get off in one big jerk
You can not put me off for later
By then I will have become a fable
You must write when I command
On this fact I squarely stand
Even when sleep tries to steal you away
In your brain I still romp and play
I will make your tired body get up and write
For your brain is not that tight
The words will leak right out
You know that fact without a doubt
I know how important I am to you
So what I say, you will do
You will always do as I choose ...
We get off in one big jerk

Dead Love
Way out here in outer space
Searching every distance place
The Moon's so cold without your embrace
I'm still here in flight
Way out past the satellite
Hoping one day we may reunite
Rising quickly is my frustration
Knowing for me there is no salvation
As I see your face in every constellation
I can't see the silver lining
Even with all the stars still shining
Because all I can do is keep on crying
Loves resurrection is over due
So I will keep on searching for you
Just leave me a damn bread...
Searching every distance place
The Moon's so cold without your embrace
I'm still here in flight
Way out past the satellite
Hoping one day we may reunite
Rising quickly is my frustration
Knowing for me there is no salvation
As I see your face in every constellation
I can't see the silver lining
Even with all the stars still shining
Because all I can do is keep on crying
Loves resurrection is over due
So I will keep on searching for you
Just leave me a damn bread...

Finger of God
The rain comes splattering in through my window, like a thousand cool tiny kisses
My skin glisten
It begins as the sun goes down in the coal black inky darkness of night
Layer of fright
Thunder so loud it rattles the windows, shakes the room
Sonic boom
Bright white hot lighting splits the night into
Darkness resumes
The rain pours down trying to drown everything, that's for certain
Glistening wet curtain
The wind is bending the trees to it's will, making house shingles fly
Look to the sky...

Easter Man
Easter man
Can you loan me a gram
This is not the time to take a stand
Put some of that shit in my hand
With it I will sift through time's sands
Letting my mind expand
As I pace back and forth over these lands
Please don't misunderstand
It's only what the monster commands
This was completely unplanned
Now my ship is unmanned

Shadows Cast
Splitter splatter, pitter patter, rain dance my cares away
Pitter patter, splitter splatter, on this cold and lonely day
Doing your tap dancing on the crisp Fall leaves
In your rhythm all my worries are relieved
Slapping out the tune on the old evergreen
The most beautiful sound I have ever seen
Splitter splatter, beating on my windowpane
Trying to break my heavy mental chain
Pitter patter, rapidly tapping on the glass
Trying to warn me, of shadows yet to be cast

Black and Red
I fear every Red wet tomorrow
All my life it only brought sorrow
Tragedy on top of tragedy is stacked
I'm spread eagle on life's torture rake
The universe keeps twisting the screws
Will it ever be over, haven't I paid my dues
Isn't forty years enough suffering
What other catastrophe is out there hovering
I fear the winds of change
Still I feel them just the same
For change has only ever worsened my plight
Agony always takes another bite
Look forward to tomorrow, is what is said
But I only see it in...
All my life it only brought sorrow
Tragedy on top of tragedy is stacked
I'm spread eagle on life's torture rake
The universe keeps twisting the screws
Will it ever be over, haven't I paid my dues
Isn't forty years enough suffering
What other catastrophe is out there hovering
I fear the winds of change
Still I feel them just the same
For change has only ever worsened my plight
Agony always takes another bite
Look forward to tomorrow, is what is said

What is Killing Me
I've slowly came to the realization
Of what makes me so craven
I now know what is killing me
It's not what I thought it would be
It's not the pain, agony, or strife
That is so fucking rife
That's been there all my life
It's not the monsters, demons, or tragedy
No it's not any of the things I thought it would be
I thought I was killing time, but now I see
Time is killing me

Angels Falling Like Rain
Started out innocent and clean
Then I heard the angel's screams
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Please
All that remains now is the pain
Watching the angels fall like rain
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Please
Living here in the perpetual night
Angeles now far out of sight
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Please
Shadows of what could of been
Angels drowning in humans sin
Mercy, mercy, mercy
Please
Driven down to bended knee
Watching demons as they glean
Mercy, mercy, mercy, ...

The Sweet Dark Side
The ground beneath her is shaking
Her world again is rearranging
The stars and moon are falling, crashing to the earth
The sun to light had given birth
But the sun imploded
Leaving no motive
So there she stands in the inky black nothing
Eye's wide open, but seeing not a thing
No voices, not even in her brain
It all happened so fast it was insane
One minute a beautiful blue sky day
The next it all lay in decay
Blackness so heavy it's hard to move
But slowly she makes her way, she finds a groove.
In her pocket she finds the pills
To...

Just Swinging
I don't want to do this any more
Just leave me lying on the floor
I am nothing but the goo
That's been wiped of the shoes
Of all that have tromped
Of all that have stomped
They have whittled me down
Till there is no ME to be found
Shavings lying scattered
When the northern wind battles
I'm a broken window that rattles
Into dust I've been turned
Into dust I've been burned
It's true....what humans couldn't do
Well...the universe finished through
Leaving me dangling from the noose
Refusing to ever turn me...
Just leave me lying on the floor
I am nothing but the goo
That's been wiped of the shoes
Of all that have tromped
Of all that have stomped
They have whittled me down
Till there is no ME to be found
Shavings lying scattered
When the northern wind battles
I'm a broken window that rattles
Into dust I've been turned
Into dust I've been burned
It's true....what humans couldn't do
Well...the universe finished through
Leaving me dangling from the noose
Refusing to ever turn me...

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 remember your place
Plaster...
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
