Missing In Plain Sight
None of you realized that I was saying my goodbyes
Guess it was to much to look at the pain in these eyes
Or to watch a moment in this borrowed time as it flies
I must have been speaking in tongues as my faith cries
When the flames have settled & the smoke has become clear
I burnt these bridges so you see the orphan drowned under the pier
I just have to ask you how does it feel to become this insincere
To you I was never dear & to me this is the end that I fear
We are the peace that found a will to be kidnapped by a internal fight ...
Guess it was to much to look at the pain in these eyes

Letting Go
You told me that you love people that are deer in headlights
It’s more like you slitting Bambi’s throat in the deep woods at night
You chewed up all of my empathy & spit it back in my face
Now I’m letting my thoughts & words be your falling grace
A conscience that I watched disappear without any trace
Only to realize it had never developed in the first place
A little girl running away from herself with so much hate
I gave you all my love something that you could never taste
Why do you cheat on emotions that pleaded everyone’s case?
Where...

Sedate Me With Love Tonight
Here I sit in a corner within my straight jacket of feeling
As I tremble back & forth trying to find the way of dealing
These open wounds writing tears on the wall that aren’t healing
The air in this room has always been way too concealing
This darkness is so blinding I can’t see my own ceiling
A essence of one seeping out the paint that is peeling
Anxiety’s noose suffocating the passion of meaning
Depression’s waves drowning the voice that is reasoning
Could this life sedate me with love tonight
Would you hold my heart & comfort...
As I tremble back & forth trying to find the way of dealing
These open wounds writing tears on the wall that aren’t healing
The air in this room has always been way too concealing
This darkness is so blinding I can’t see my own ceiling
A essence of one seeping out the paint that is peeling
Anxiety’s noose suffocating the passion of meaning
Depression’s waves drowning the voice that is reasoning
Could this life sedate me with love tonight
Would you hold my heart & comfort...

Ballad Of Life
My soul has been searching the broken dreams of forgiving
The blues in my eyes have thawed into never forgetting
I’ve let you punk my hope with promises you never keep
A metal razor blade that has cut sympathy way too deep
As the rock rolled down the steep hill of this madness
It left me at rock bottom with a A cappella of sadness
Now I’m here singing the gospel of a spirit that keeps fading
I will continue to rap myself into the warmth of sating
This is the music of my pulsating heart ...

Truth Destroys Guilt
I’m throwing you lies & betrayal out a five story window
As I watch it break the spine of your volatile ego
Take this semi truck & then steam roll over it
Circle a block & comeback to run it over again
Then with a push of a button I detonate that building
Just so I can see it crumble down all over your bullshit
This is when I let truth destroys guilt
This is where I slit my empathy’s throat
This is how I poison all of your toxicity
This is the end & this is how a care says goodbye
...

Conform to originality
All of these buildings on fire from all of the gaslighting
Manipulation in the air suffocating minds of little ones
Why do we continue choking all the breaths of fresh air
Blinding the beauty in our minds with faith in a darkness
This place has become mayhem chained to complete disaster
We hear the warning sirens as we watch debris fall around us
We’re dancing in the rain of tears weighing hope to the ground
Riding this merry go round of disgrace into the abyss
Acute issues condoning all of these obtuse solutions
The time has...

Confession
In a place where we want change yet no one changes themselves
It’s a feel good story to us in the fiction we all have tried to live
Ego’s beating down compassion with a passion of hypocrisy
Lying, Cheating, & Stealing a dream that has faded away
Prostituting a lovely happiness to avoid all of the great depression
Its still in the air we breathe we just medicate with suppression
Welcome to the land of make believe & home of the enslaved
I’ve watched a manipulator manipulate their self into confusion
I...

To Love A Triangle
I can’t play these roles of destruction anymore
It’s eating me alive inside of this fragile core
This Ferris wheel of emotion is making me nauseous
Spinning my thoughts so fast I have a whiplashed conscience
Stretched out way to thin and no possible way to win
I will be exposing the unseen in this toxic love of sin
I can’t save within all this denial
I won’t be a victim at this unfair trial
All of this persecution in a illusion
You not trying has left me in confusion
I’ve got to get to the outside...
It’s eating me alive inside of this fragile core
This Ferris wheel of emotion is making me nauseous
Spinning my thoughts so fast I have a whiplashed conscience
Stretched out way to thin and no possible way to win
I will be exposing the unseen in this toxic love of sin
I can’t save within all this denial
I won’t be a victim at this unfair trial
All of this persecution in a illusion

Senseless Emotions
I’m choking on all the words to say
All of the pain of being this betrayed
Living in a place full of lies and deceit
Has left me believing I can’t be complete
Well this perception is seeping through
That I am the gift and the curse is you
I can see what you tried to blind
I can hear what you tried to mute
I can taste the good inside my mind
I can feel all that is within the taproot
All the senseless emotions I gave away for you
I’m putting myself for once & you call me selfish
Honestly I put a false belief...
All of the pain of being this betrayed
Living in a place full of lies and deceit
Has left me believing I can’t be complete
Well this perception is seeping through
That I am the gift and the curse is you
I can see what you tried to blind
I can hear what you tried to mute
I can taste the good inside my mind
I can feel all that is within the taproot
All the senseless emotions I gave away for you
I’m putting myself for once & you call me selfish
Honestly I put a false belief...

Skeletons in a closet
Living inside can be such a unfixable fix
Denying acceptance is a bad habit to quit
Only numbing pain as it builds on our shoulders
While the ride is so high our bones become boulders
With insulation soaked you can start to taste the cold
I hope one day the lights of love let your heart unfold
Pull the nails out of your heart in this coffin
Dig up this grave covered in our deprived suffering
Free the pain of what is left in the composite
So you can see we are all skeletons in a closet
Why do we...
Denying acceptance is a bad habit to quit
Only numbing pain as it builds on our shoulders
While the ride is so high our bones become boulders
With insulation soaked you can start to taste the cold
I hope one day the lights of love let your heart unfold
Pull the nails out of your heart in this coffin
Dig up this grave covered in our deprived suffering
Free the pain of what is left in the composite
So you can see we are all skeletons in a closet
Why do we...

I Can't Be Me Around You
With your knife in my back
Your knee on my collapsed chest
I'm convulsing inside my head to breathe
Your tears adding salt to open wounds
Then a kiss on these duct taped lips only to find
I'm losing myself inside a silenced mind
I cant be superman around kryptonite
I cant be hope around a faithless insight
I can't be truth when denial is your cue
I'm sorry honey I can't be me around you
This philosophical vision is being blinded
Thoughts bathing in the closed minded
You may believe you are soaring in a heaven of power ...
Your knee on my collapsed chest
I'm convulsing inside my head to breathe
Your tears adding salt to open wounds
Then a kiss on these duct taped lips only to find
I'm losing myself inside a silenced mind
I cant be superman around kryptonite
I cant be hope around a faithless insight
I can't be truth when denial is your cue
I'm sorry honey I can't be me around you
This philosophical vision is being blinded
Thoughts bathing in the closed minded
You may believe you are soaring in a heaven of power ...

Tragic Circles
The agony creeping the dark side of my mind
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away
Tragic Circles, Building walls around this hate
Tragic...
Hidden scars bleeding out hope in the mirror
Fight or flight I prefer the lights on the echo side
Where time can freeze tears of the unfathomable
One day they defrost into a fog with a bright mask on
Whispers of depression anchoring confusion to my heart
Pain flows through veins causing these rhythmic palpitations
Fear will shame this guilt into chains we can't break
Tragic Circles, Chasing day after day away
Tragic Circles, Building walls around this hate
Tragic...
