Just Watching
Subtle bodies ebbing to and fro
Moving, dancing close and slow
Tangled limbs in coarse delight
Their falling sin drips just right
Consuming, drifting scent to begin
A new player emerges and breaks in
Startled cries, confusion one side
Angry cage suppressing the others pride
She feigns left but dives to the right
Loud bang, screams, pain shoots up the night
Past talking reason, no going back
Memory of her moan, a panic attack
Four more pulls of the trigger then done
Now only a bullet left in the chamber for one
Moving, dancing close and slow
Tangled limbs in coarse delight
Their falling sin drips just right
Consuming, drifting scent to begin
A new player emerges and breaks in
Startled cries, confusion one side
Angry cage suppressing the others pride
She feigns left but dives to the right
Loud bang, screams, pain shoots up the night
Past talking reason, no going back
Memory of her moan, a panic attack
Four more pulls of the trigger then done
Now only a bullet left in the chamber for one

Maybe
I like your style, I like your ways
I like your nights and I love your days
I like your flavour, I like your smile
I like your anger and silent denial
I hear the burden, I taste the strain
I smell the emotion, I feel your pain
You can push me, you can ignore
But I see you're afraid, you're insecure
You wish for summer, you feel the rain
Bright sunshine only shows the tame
The many demons the darkness conceals
I bleed my heart out, I beg and kneel
I reach for you, you just turn away
We hear our words but not what we say...
I like your nights and I love your days
I like your flavour, I like your smile
I like your anger and silent denial
I hear the burden, I taste the strain
I smell the emotion, I feel your pain
You can push me, you can ignore
But I see you're afraid, you're insecure
You wish for summer, you feel the rain
Bright sunshine only shows the tame
The many demons the darkness conceals
I bleed my heart out, I beg and kneel
I reach for you, you just turn away
We hear our words but not what we say...

Attract and Subtract
I start you with a purpose
Now I toss you to the wind
Everything we've made us
I'll destroy it in the end
All the feelings you've shed
I've only just begun
Any person you bed
Will never be that one
I won't count my blessings
For love is just a curse
With no real future pressing
You are not my first
These tears fall without assistance
My misery knows no boundary
I thought our love had substance
So I must leave you floundering
My heart went to you
But it can't grow without light
Everything that...
Now I toss you to the wind

I'll destroy it in the end
All the feelings you've shed

For love is just a curse
With no real future pressing
You are not my first
These tears fall without assistance
My misery knows no boundary
I thought our love had substance

My heart went to you
But it can't grow without light

Masks Are People Too
Sand counting down time
A body ravaged in kind
Quietly losing it's mind
Screams bursting, declare
That very first breath of fresh air
Tiny miracle so sweet and fair
Snarls, hiss and bite
Crush all emotion with might
Nothing as primal and right
Tears falling to ground
Not making a sound
No friend found around
Smiles flash in the night
Happiness shining so bright
Erasing all sorrows and fights
Standing back from the crowd
Watching everyone around
Observant without making a sound
Still, cold...
A body ravaged in kind
Quietly losing it's mind
Screams bursting, declare
That very first breath of fresh air
Tiny miracle so sweet and fair
Snarls, hiss and bite
Crush all emotion with might
Nothing as primal and right
Tears falling to ground
Not making a sound
No friend found around
Smiles flash in the night
Happiness shining so bright
Erasing all sorrows and fights
Standing back from the crowd
Watching everyone around
Observant without making a sound
Still, cold...

Fractured
So many words left unsaid
All the secrets inside my head
So many sins I'll never confess
I can't take this constant stress
My mind is flooded with despair
I hide my feelings like I don't care
Nervous anger shakes my hands
Trying to live up to their demands
Everyday is more of the same
Pushing forward without gain
Smothering emotions with obligations
Avoiding people and their altercations
I fall to my knees filled with regret
I've tried everything to make me forget
Working only to further my debt
This can't be as good...
All the secrets inside my head
So many sins I'll never confess
I can't take this constant stress
My mind is flooded with despair
I hide my feelings like I don't care
Nervous anger shakes my hands
Trying to live up to their demands
Everyday is more of the same
Pushing forward without gain
Smothering emotions with obligations
Avoiding people and their altercations
I fall to my knees filled with regret
I've tried everything to make me forget
Working only to further my debt
This can't be as good...

All Fall Down
A broken heart
Torn apart
Twisted love
Pushed and shoved
Falling tears
Wasted years
Crimson pain
Falls like rain
Mind is flawed
Grasping at straws
Candied dreams
Trumped up schemes
Full of lies
Broken ties
Bridges burning
Always yearning
Arms ache
For embrace
Soul is tattered
Bruised and battered
And with a sad little frown
We all fall down
Torn apart
Twisted love
Pushed and shoved
Falling tears
Wasted years
Crimson pain
Falls like rain
Mind is flawed
Grasping at straws
Candied dreams
Trumped up schemes
Full of lies
Broken ties
Bridges burning
Always yearning
Arms ache
For embrace
Soul is tattered
Bruised and battered
And with a sad little frown
We all fall down

Not Of Me
I see past your drawn on smile
Through the diversions and denial
I see demons clinging to your back
You need help but never ask
I know the anger you hold inside
I have my own beneath my hide
You suffer alone in silent remorse
Hiding an inferno of such great force
Your mind turning thoughts into ashes
Raindrops of sorrow kiss black lashes
Anger barrels out in full flush
The words on idle lips hush
Thoughts inside your head clash
As you try not to be violent or rash
Darkness appears riding a black steed
Enters your body through any...

The Mask is More Real than Reality
I used to cut my skin to feel
Everything I thought was real
The pain inside is too much to bear
I'd reach out, but nobodies there
My eyes downcast in self doubt
I can't explain what my fears are about
The lies in my head from memories past
Are not your concern so don't even ask
I hold this agony like a dear friend
These wounds have come open again
I cry and I scream inside my head
But my tongue holds words left unsaid
I stumble and falter, slip and fall
But nobody comes when I call
Bruise my knees, kneel and pray
To a God that hears...

Silence My Sorrow
I write my ending a million times
Nothing ever sounds good enough
This isn't who I am, this lie of life
I am a walking corpse
A zombie slave to my emotions
Disgusted I shatter the visage
Shards of my image fall all around
Everyone will forget me, just let me go
Nothing left to hold onto
I'm wasted without sleep
The creature inside me watches
I feel it taking it's meal
Gorging itself on my hope
I hide behind my expectations
Driving courage through skin
Cold, biting metal opens a smile
I laugh crimson tears
Whiteness opens up...
Nothing ever sounds good enough

What The....
Apathetic to my pathetic
You're so numb you're anesthetic
The ice to my inferno
The plummet after a crescendo
I have bled my story in front of you
You listened indifferent and unmoved
I sighed and buttoned up my heart
Covering the exposed, indecent parts
Busting out at seams you can't seem to fix
You push your world until it splits
The brilliance of you is too much to bear
Grasping onto things that aren't there
The world holds it's everlasting breath
This broken love can't be all that's left
You turn...
You're so numb you're anesthetic
The ice to my inferno
The plummet after a crescendo
I have bled my story in front of you
You listened indifferent and unmoved
I sighed and buttoned up my heart
Covering the exposed, indecent parts
Busting out at seams you can't seem to fix
You push your world until it splits
The brilliance of you is too much to bear
Grasping onto things that aren't there
The world holds it's everlasting breath
This broken love can't be all that's left
You turn...

Love Struck
Your eyes glazed with memories of summer
Thoughts weigh heavy with longing
I never said I loved you
You're pretty in cursive
I like the way you bend
What makes up the best of you
Is corrupted and condemned
I tangle your misery
Around my liars chair
This heart you proudly display
Is cut open, raw and bare
My face turns to shadows
I sigh as I pull you near
You groan as I kiss your throat
Your attraction very clear
That serial killer look you give me
Where your eyes shine dark and low
That smile that wrecks...

Thoughts
Depression is a beast
It hides beneath the skin
It's claws leave many scars
Both outside and within
It whispers hate and evil
It feeds upon our hearts
It cripples our defenses
It literally tears us apart
It thrashes through our minds
Haphazard disarray
I'm lost in tortured thoughts
With nothing left to say
It hides beneath the skin
It's claws leave many scars
Both outside and within
It whispers hate and evil
It feeds upon our hearts
It cripples our defenses
It literally tears us apart
It thrashes through our minds
Haphazard disarray
I'm lost in tortured thoughts
With nothing left to say
