Face It
I want to break away from all this pain
Can't stand the way you say my name
As everyday fades into gray
Ever the same, both to blame
Just chaos behind my eyes
Disgusted by all these lies
Trapped inside my own disguise
Looking for a way to fix our cut ties
Can't brush off the times you held me
Won't forget how your words hung heavy
All I wanted was for you to be happy
But that isn't how you look at me
You used to look at me so loving
Now your stare is blunt and haunting
You used to hold me tight, lover
Now you hold me out like a...
Can't stand the way you say my name

Disgusted by all these lies

Won't forget how your words hung heavy
All I wanted was for you to be happy
But that isn't how you look at me

See it for what it is
Brush back my hair and catch a glare
Your evil stare begging me to dare
Pick a fight unfair, the burden we share
But I change gears, force my mind to clear
Compress my fear, won't shed these tears
Memories so dear of when I held you near
These feelings are dead in my heart of lead
All the lies you fed turned your hands to red
So I lightly tread over the scars you bled
We became a chore so you walked out the door
What there was before there is no more
Cut me to the core, leave my heart on the floor
Nothing left to see of you and me ...
Your evil stare begging me to dare
Pick a fight unfair, the burden we share
But I change gears, force my mind to clear
Compress my fear, won't shed these tears
Memories so dear of when I held you near
These feelings are dead in my heart of lead
All the lies you fed turned your hands to red
So I lightly tread over the scars you bled
We became a chore so you walked out the door
What there was before there is no more
Cut me to the core, leave my heart on the floor
Nothing left to see of you and me ...

Despondent King
With an aging crown and a heart heavy with need
The king sits atop his throne, needles at his feet
His body has never seen the labor of his lands
But all falls to whispers at the flick of his hand
He needn't shout or exclaim in an unseemly way
He only has to incline his head and quietly say
The hour has come when kingdoms fall to their knees
Our God has not answered our prayers or pleas
They wait for him to gnash his teeth and pull his silver hair
To rant at the Gods for taking his last living heir
They wait in strained silence, muddled...
The king sits atop his throne, needles at his feet

Emotional Spillage
My mind is a well
My mouth the spout
Come catch these feelings
That keep spilling out
They started to trickle
But now its a rush
Lend me an ear
Give me some trust
I can't help but wonder
I can't help but ask
Are you my future
Or are you my past?
With limbs that feel heavy
With a heart hung low
I walk in your footsteps
Where you lead, I follow
My mouth the spout
Come catch these feelings
That keep spilling out
They started to trickle
But now its a rush
Lend me an ear
Give me some trust
I can't help but wonder
I can't help but ask
Are you my future
Or are you my past?
With limbs that feel heavy
With a heart hung low
I walk in your footsteps
Where you lead, I follow

Sad
This despair crawls the length of my soul
Dragging its nails along my bones
It butchers my resolve with gnashing teeth
As it hammers its sickness into my meat
This sorrow beats upon my brow
Leaving me twisted with a guttural growl
It drives its darkness into my core
Picking to pieces, inflicting sores
Where it lays its eyes, it breeds
Ripping my heart out before it feeds
A lump of emotion without a taste
Devouring sadness leaves me to waste
Dragging its nails along my bones
It butchers my resolve with gnashing teeth
As it hammers its sickness into my meat
This sorrow beats upon my brow
Leaving me twisted with a guttural growl
It drives its darkness into my core
Picking to pieces, inflicting sores
Where it lays its eyes, it breeds
Ripping my heart out before it feeds
A lump of emotion without a taste
Devouring sadness leaves me to waste

Soul Containment Unit
I took my heart out of it's cage
Gave it wings and a new name
Set it free to roam and prowl
Let it loose among the crowd
I couldn't keep it like a bird
Cooped up, trapped, that's absurd
I have to let it find it's way
Another person who feels the same
I tried to force it down inside
Tied and bound by pretty lies
It became unruly, acting out
Clawing walls with angry shouts
I knew it needed it's own place
Love, comfort and a little space
Eventually it will come back home
Fit itself among flesh and bone
I hold an...

Our Melody
The sultry hues of language
That breath upon my ear
Paint pictures in my minds eye
Of the longing through the years
So I'll sing to you a melody
Sweet nothings in your ear
I'll hold your attention
As something near and dear
The words will fall to whispers
Wrap you up in all my love
Quietly surround you
Raise you up to clouds above
I'll give myself through music
Singing the poetry of us
Tying strings to our limbs
Signifying our terms of trust
That breath upon my ear
Paint pictures in my minds eye
Of the longing through the years
So I'll sing to you a melody
Sweet nothings in your ear
I'll hold your attention
As something near and dear
The words will fall to whispers
Wrap you up in all my love
Quietly surround you
Raise you up to clouds above
I'll give myself through music
Singing the poetry of us
Tying strings to our limbs
Signifying our terms of trust

Clipped Wings
This tattered heart is not a home
Poorly protected by skin and bone
I fall down upon bruised knees
Wishing the worst to become of me
I'm not a saint with all these sins
A soul lay wasted by savage whims
A broken shadow of myself
Contorted into someone else
Winds of change howl fierce and loud
Innumerable failures litter the ground
Echoes of agony wrack my brain
Simmering sorrow falls like rain
Tendrils of hatred creep up my spine
A jagged ache peers through my eyes
My tongue is tied with barbed wire
Suffering inside...

Hush-Hush
My arms ache for your embrace
To kiss a blush upon your face
Bask in the warmth of your smile
To hold me steady for a little while
For once I want to give in
Taste the salt of your skin
Open my soul and lay it bare
Allow our bodies to do their share
Clutching fingers, grasping tight
Husky moans of coarse delight
This carnality is only a spark
To build a fire within your heart
This passion is poorly contained
My words are cryptic and constrained
I strive to cloak and cover my desire
I dolefully damper...

Silent Noise
Your hair is black like onyx
Your eyes sparkle dark and slow
You hide it all with twilight
Cloaked in shadows deep and low
A tightrope of emotion
Control a well honed skill
You hide behind the facade
Bending at only your own will
You hold a vast beauty
Behind those lovely eyes
Intricate and delicate
The web of all your lies
In silent noise you hide you
Slow smile and quick wit
A distant cold exterior
Inside an inferno well lit
Your eyes sparkle dark and slow
You hide it all with twilight
Cloaked in shadows deep and low
A tightrope of emotion
Control a well honed skill
You hide behind the facade
Bending at only your own will
You hold a vast beauty
Behind those lovely eyes
Intricate and delicate
The web of all your lies
In silent noise you hide you
Slow smile and quick wit
A distant cold exterior
Inside an inferno well lit

Fickle
I like you, I don't love you
I like you, I don't love anyone
Our love is a pretty illusion
I twist it to and fro
A figment of my imagination
Where I lead, you may go
A false sense of security
Trussed up in simple lust
I hold you tight against me
Kiss your lips and taste the blush
Offering my hand in silence
You hungrily take the bait
Dressed up in diffidence
The wolf lays in wait
I like you, I don't love anyone
Our love is a pretty illusion
I twist it to and fro
A figment of my imagination
Where I lead, you may go
A false sense of security
Trussed up in simple lust
I hold you tight against me
Kiss your lips and taste the blush
Offering my hand in silence
You hungrily take the bait
Dressed up in diffidence
The wolf lays in wait

Down to the Ground
You look me dead in the eyes
Straight up just saying "Goodbye."
I stood there showing no surprise
We knew you'd be ending it tonight
Screaming for silence
Threatening Violence
Just another round
Put me on the ground
You can't stand to hear my voice
I like to pretend it's all by choice
You try to take away all poise
But i don't listen to your noise
I stand there screaming for silence
You threaten with violence
it's just another go round
You'll easily put me on the ground
You walk out the door and don't look back
I...
