Stop The Madness
Stop The Madness
I walk alone through the burning field of insanity
Covered with the soot of the worlds inhumanity
Underneath my feet is a long ago crumbling bridge
Turning to dust all the things I once found sacrilege
My brain feels like it has been set ablaze on fire
I blindly walk across sanity and insanities tight wire
I can feel tiny spiders crawling around under my skin
Weaving their webs around my heart that will not mend
Ice cubes inside of my unloved heart that will not thaw
...

I can feel tiny spiders crawling around under my skin
Weaving their webs around my heart that will not mend

Better Off
Better Off
Sitting in the rain feeling it falling on my head
Stuck between wishing I was better off or dead
Wrist to razor let the blood start to flow
So you can see the scars of pain I do not show
Drifting through life without any love
Better off if I did not have you to think of
Between him and me I know I am less
When I stand next to him he looks statuesque
I would be better off if I just went away
Instead of thinking of you night and day
You drive the fire that burns...
Sitting in the rain feeling it falling on my head
Stuck between wishing I was better off or dead
Wrist to razor let the blood start to flow
So you can see the scars of pain I do not show
Drifting through life without any love
Better off if I did not have you to think of
Between him and me I know I am less
When I stand next to him he looks statuesque
I would be better off if I just went away
Instead of thinking of you night and day
You drive the fire that burns...

I See You Sideways
I See You Sideways
I use to see you head on but now I see you sideways
Try to forget you at night and through the days
I look at you from around the corner to see
I can hear what you really think of me
Calls of another you listen to regularly
My voice falls on your mind silently
You see me but do not really see who I am
A lion that is hiding inside of a lamb
I look at you sideways so you cannot see
I am sliding backwards into anonymity
I use to see you head on but now I see you sideways
Try to forget you at night and through the days
I look at you from around the corner to see
I can hear what you really think of me
Calls of another you listen to regularly
My voice falls on your mind silently
You see me but do not really see who I am
A lion that is hiding inside of a lamb
I look at you sideways so you cannot see
I am sliding backwards into anonymity

Lost In One Season
Lost In One Season
I am forever lost in the winter season
Trapped in the cold without reason
Snow covered heart unable to thaw
Blocked out everyone with an inner wall
Icicle fingers wrapped around my mind
Freezing reason from a frosted behind
Cold hearted night wasting my eyes
In between folklore and reality dies
There is nothing underneath that is there
The same resides coldly in the daylight air
To break free from this moodiness I can never do
Without...

Buttons
Buttons
You really know how to push my buttons
For your punishment I am a glutton
We use to talk now you hardly speak
When you do it is to make me weak
You really know how to steer my wheel
To make me feel how you want me to feel
You can turn my rainbow into a noose
With one look you can turn my pain loose
Every time into your trap I hard fall
I cannot help but be at your beck and call
You trade on my feelings not gone
You make my right feel so wrong
...

Well
Well
I was walking across my desert life and fell
upon my knees when ahead I saw a water well
I could not believe what I saw in front of me
Was it real or was it a mirage I did see?
I crawled closer upon the hot desert sand
I reached and pulled myself up by hand
I sat there beside the water well with a thirst
Looking down into the dark I expected the worst
I reached out and grabbed the rope hanging there
I slowly started pulling up the bucket in the hot air
My parched lips...

In My Dreams
In My Dreams
Caught between life and dreams
Do no know what it all means
Wondering shadows with unnatural sway
Haunting my nights and undulating my days
Caught in the deep darkness unknown
Feeling effects of love that is never shown
Surrounded by deflections of the unfeeling
My future to me does not seem very appealing
I have no ears to hear anything they try to say
My eyes try to see but the darkness gets in the way
All I can hear is their low tumble muttering
...

Rain Drips
Rain Drips
Rain drips searing my skin
My pain wins once again
Rolling handle in my hand
Leaving marks no one understands
Long sleeves covering my unseen pain
Leftover reminders down the drain
Unknowing faces do not recognize
Cannot see behind my smile disguise
Happiness never stays around long
Each morning I go home alone
Each morning more of me drips away
But the pain it always does stay
Rain drips searing my skin
My pain wins once again
Rolling handle in my hand
Leaving marks no one understands
Long sleeves covering my unseen pain
Leftover reminders down the drain
Unknowing faces do not recognize
Cannot see behind my smile disguise
Happiness never stays around long
Each morning I go home alone
Each morning more of me drips away
But the pain it always does stay

Cube
Cube
Feels like my brain is in a cube shrinking
Lately I feel like I do less and less thinking
The only thing that can escape are my memories
They are getting harder and harder to find for me
My voice I seem to not be able to find it at all
The people who talk to me I can no longer recall
My youthful face is fading away to an old man
I am now shaking uncontrollably my former steady hand
The walls are getting thicker and closing in on me
The air is vanishing to the point I can hardly...

Subjugation
Subjugation
Subjugation of my love is not a choice
When every morning I wake up I rejoice
To be dominated by your love is my pleasure
Underneath my vagueness you find my treasure
I dream of every night we can be alone, you and me
To the pleasures of setting our inhibitions free
Striping ourselves through the night in love throes
When I have found your pleasure I have reached my goals
Because to me your happiness comes first and last
Then and only then can my love die be cast
Subjugation of my love is not a choice
When every morning I wake up I rejoice
To be dominated by your love is my pleasure
Underneath my vagueness you find my treasure
I dream of every night we can be alone, you and me
To the pleasures of setting our inhibitions free
Striping ourselves through the night in love throes
When I have found your pleasure I have reached my goals
Because to me your happiness comes first and last
Then and only then can my love die be cast

Speakeasy
Speakeasy
Electric thoughts running through my mind
Concentrated past I cannot leave behind
Downfalls the elucidated night Moon's face
Tears of rain hidden with its lunar trace
I write of things hidden deep in my brain
To cash out the imprisonment of my pain
Dreadful dragons fireless long ago gone
Still they haunt me from dawn to dawn
Swallowing pride chokes those received
Until loneliness banished is finally freed
Cartoon follies taste of un-regurgitated food sour
...
