Due West (Part one)
Driving down the freeway
Going about eighty five
Listening to some emo rock
I was driving while high
Up ahead in the distance
I seen a neon colored sign
The style was gaudy Vegas
It read "come wine and dine"
I put the pedal to the metal
And turned up the radio
Yelled out the window "Oh yea!"
I'm going to get wild at the disco
I drove down the selected exit
Turned right and then went left
Turned in to the crowded lot
The place was called Due West
I gazed at myself in the rear view ...

Unforgiving
I don't know what to say
When you yell in my face
Telling me I'm worthless
Yelling that I'm a disgrace
You never gave me a chance
You never really gave a damn
Sorry I wasn't in your plans
I'm here and I am what I am
You used to have him beat me
With the leather straps on my ass
With each lash I cried my plea
You just spit on me like I was trash
For crying out loud I was your son!
You gave me life,you put me here
Never to be loved,only to feel numb
You were the reason behind my fear
Remember when you burned...
When you yell in my face
Telling me I'm worthless
Yelling that I'm a disgrace
You never gave me a chance
You never really gave a damn
Sorry I wasn't in your plans
I'm here and I am what I am
You used to have him beat me
With the leather straps on my ass
With each lash I cried my plea
You just spit on me like I was trash
For crying out loud I was your son!
You gave me life,you put me here
Never to be loved,only to feel numb
You were the reason behind my fear
Remember when you burned...

Failed attempt
I slit my wrists a week ago today
I didn't even give it a second thought
I couldn't keep my sadness at bay
This is the fate that I have bought
I tell you all because you read these words
Even though they're morbid when emotions burst
The way that I feel can't get more or less worse
Without the will to live I write even though it hurts
My attempt to die didn't go as planned
I didn't tell anyone last Sunday night
Because nobody can understand
These emotions that I'm forced to fight
I want you all to understand that I tried to live...
I didn't even give it a second thought
I couldn't keep my sadness at bay
This is the fate that I have bought
I tell you all because you read these words
Even though they're morbid when emotions burst
The way that I feel can't get more or less worse
Without the will to live I write even though it hurts
My attempt to die didn't go as planned
I didn't tell anyone last Sunday night
Because nobody can understand
These emotions that I'm forced to fight
I want you all to understand that I tried to live...

Flirting with death
I'm married to the pain
A selfish notion unconstrained
I'm bruised and scarred
On my chest and arms
The relationship is embraced
With nothing to waste
Gonna love pain until I die
Don't ask me why..
I taste the blood upon my lips
I do this when my wrists are slit
Splattering it all around my room
Even though I may be dying soon
There are open cuts on my chest
Deep ones that flirt with death
All done by a sharp razor blade
I'm going to die and I'm not afraid.
A selfish notion unconstrained
I'm bruised and scarred
On my chest and arms
The relationship is embraced
With nothing to waste
Gonna love pain until I die
Don't ask me why..
I taste the blood upon my lips
I do this when my wrists are slit
Splattering it all around my room
Even though I may be dying soon
There are open cuts on my chest
Deep ones that flirt with death
All done by a sharp razor blade
I'm going to die and I'm not afraid.

Tour de force
I must be going crazy
Must be losing my mind
Haven't been myself lately
That's got to be a sign.
I'm feeling kind of manic
Like time has speeded up
I'm talking fast and frantic
Like I'm on all sorts of drugs.
It's got to run out it's course
Before I go insane this time
Staying sane is the tour de force
The feat is all mine.
I think I'm breaking down
I think I'm losing control
Mind's lost and can't be found
While paranoia takes its toll.
I must be going coo coo
I'm losing all perspective
Can't explain...
Must be losing my mind
Haven't been myself lately
That's got to be a sign.
I'm feeling kind of manic
Like time has speeded up
I'm talking fast and frantic
Like I'm on all sorts of drugs.
It's got to run out it's course
Before I go insane this time
Staying sane is the tour de force
The feat is all mine.
I think I'm breaking down
I think I'm losing control
Mind's lost and can't be found
While paranoia takes its toll.
I must be going coo coo
I'm losing all perspective
Can't explain...

Wanderer
Things change for some reason
That reason remains unknown
I may be an outcast or heathen
Wandering around all alone..
Hiding inside shadows and nooks
Walkng aimlessly without emotion
A cry out but nobody see's or looks
A wanderer with his painful notion.
That reason remains unknown
I may be an outcast or heathen
Wandering around all alone..
Hiding inside shadows and nooks
Walkng aimlessly without emotion
A cry out but nobody see's or looks
A wanderer with his painful notion.

I'm your reason
I could be all that you need
Your drug,your victim too
Love me or make me bleed
Tell me lies to cover truth
I can be your ear to vent
Your one thing in this life
I can be your God,repent.
I'm the drug that gets you high...
I can be that loaded gun
I can be the bullet chambered
I can be pleasure or the fun
I'm the reason behind your anger
I try to be someone else but....
This is who I really am,I'm yours
I can be the hate but not the love
I'm the ugly within the horrors
I can be the pain inside your pleasures...
Your drug,your victim too
Love me or make me bleed
Tell me lies to cover truth
I can be your ear to vent
Your one thing in this life
I can be your God,repent.
I'm the drug that gets you high...
I can be that loaded gun
I can be the bullet chambered
I can be pleasure or the fun
I'm the reason behind your anger
I try to be someone else but....
This is who I really am,I'm yours
I can be the hate but not the love
I'm the ugly within the horrors
I can be the pain inside your pleasures...

Waiting
Today,I feel like ending everything
I can't take this shit no more
Please take me away from this place
I don't want to live through this war
Sometimes the pain gets to me too much
Where my emotions pull and tug
I just want to die,no lie
There's nobody to show their love
I've put my trust and faith into everything
I've tried so hard to fight for what I believe
I'm like an angel with a broken wing
Waiting to be saved but ready to leave
Forever hasn't got a place for me
It never did so here I wait
Wait to be set free
From...
