Sooner Than Later
Sooner Than Later
(Verse 1)
If we had met sooner than later, before my broken heart
Then maybe I would not feel the need to keep us apart
I want to be closer but it is to late to fix me now
If only we had met sooner than later somehow
(Chorus)
If we met sooner than later
We'd have a love we could never forget
If we met sooner than later
I would not be living in deep regret
If we met sooner than later
Would be nothing between you and me
If we met sooner than later
We could set each others love free
...

The Midnight Ride
The Midnight Ride
She took me for a midnight ride
She Jekylled me just like Hyde
Jacked me up just to bring me down
Made me cry just to watch me drown
The drops on my wrist that you see
They were caused by her voracity
I can no longer feel the pain anymore
Have broken my heart to many times before
Ran my feelings over like a freight train
Flattened all the pleasant memories in my brain
In this shallow grave she left me buried inside

Made me cry just to watch me drown

Have broken my heart to many times before
Ran my feelings over like a freight train

The Bipolar Expedition
The Bipolar Expedition
In case you haven't noticed or don't know
I quickly travel from pole to pole
One minute happy and then so sad
One little slight can make me mad
For me there is no neutral, just stop or go
I cannot stop from letting my emotions flow
I try to stay where everyone says I should be
That is not the makeup of me
My mind is constantly on a wild ride
Like a rollercoaster ride I am jerked side to side
When I am at one pole I am attracted to the other

Distance
Distance
I feel the distance between our hearts
It gets further the more we grow apart
Me and you use to be so very close
Now our love is just like a ghost
It haunts me from out of my past
I thought it would always last
Now it is just a distant memory
Holding me like a prisoner never set free
So I'll try to cry tears that'll never come
Because an empty faucet will never run
By the grace of God one day I'll get over you
I will just try to keep my distance until I...

Holding me like a prisoner never set free

Crawling
Crawling
All over my skin I feel a crawling pain
My insides feel like they are incased in a flame
Minute particles driving through my blood
They make me feel like a pig wallowing in mud
Scratching unstoppable itches around my spine
Bleeding vessels all over me all of the time
Sleeping trapped in an eternal dream
Stitching together a life of misery in between
All over my skin I feel a crawling pain
My insides feel like they are incased in a flame
Minute particles driving through my blood
They make me feel like a pig wallowing in mud
Scratching unstoppable itches around my spine
Bleeding vessels all over me all of the time
Sleeping trapped in an eternal dream
Stitching together a life of misery in between

Barrel
Barrel
Put the barrel to my head
One pull of the trigger and I'm dead
The bullet works its way through my brain
Blows away all my deep locked away pain
For me there will be no tears anymore
As the projectile makes its bore
I will then be laid underground
From the silence of the sound
All the dreams I once possessed
They will all be laid to rest
Dreams that never come true
Like the love that I had for you
Put the barrel to my head
One pull of the trigger and I'm dead
The bullet works its way through my brain
Blows away all my deep locked away pain
For me there will be no tears anymore
As the projectile makes its bore
I will then be laid underground
From the silence of the sound
All the dreams I once possessed
They will all be laid to rest
Dreams that never come true
Like the love that I had for you

Blood Like Water
Blood Like Water
My blood is like water flowing
My pain inside of me is showing
With every single drop that falls
Each ghost from my past calls
I slowly pump my clinched fist
As watery red runs across my wrist
My life unfolds within every drop
Silent to the world with ever plop
My blood is like water flowing
My pain inside of me is showing
With every single drop that falls
Each ghost from my past calls
I slowly pump my clinched fist
As watery red runs across my wrist
My life unfolds within every drop
Silent to the world with ever plop

Babbling Brook
Babbling Brook
Through my mind there runs a stream
Made up of my nightmares and dreams
Confusion flows over like Niagara Falls
Undercurrents of drowning calls
Words spill like intoxicating red wine
Like blood from a decapitated swine
Water breaks over me like a flood
All because insanity is in my blood
If you drill deep you will find
A babbling brook within my mind
Through my mind there runs a stream
Made up of my nightmares and dreams
Confusion flows over like Niagara Falls
Undercurrents of drowning calls
Words spill like intoxicating red wine
Like blood from a decapitated swine
Water breaks over me like a flood
All because insanity is in my blood
If you drill deep you will find
A babbling brook within my mind

A Halloween Concerto
A Halloween Concerto
(intro)
In the city of nothing the streets are always dark
The alleys are mean and no one walks in the park
Outside you always can hear mysterious sounds
As the rats chase the cats and the cats chase the hounds
It is dark twenty-four hours a day the sun is never seen
Everybody sleeps on their toes on a trampoline
Smiles are never worn if they are they’re deeply hid
Errant hearts are buried arrantly in coffins without a lid
Nightmares run rampant to catch the...

By A Thread
By A Thread
I am hanging onto life by a thread
One more fray and it I will shed
Take one step forward best I can
Someone takes me by the hand
Pulls me three steps behind
Puts another crack inside of my mind
Be better off on the backside of dirt
At least I would no longer feel the hurt
Or face the future that I so dread
Of living life hanging on by a thread
I am hanging onto life by a thread
One more fray and it I will shed
Take one step forward best I can
Someone takes me by the hand
Pulls me three steps behind
Puts another crack inside of my mind
Be better off on the backside of dirt
At least I would no longer feel the hurt
Or face the future that I so dread
Of living life hanging on by a thread
