Content
Content to torture myself
Until I fade,
Content to lie here
In silent wait,
My cage binds my mind
But not my limbs,
It kills my soul
But leaves my skin
Unscathed by knives,
But torn by words,
My conscious frays
A world of hurt,
Yet I remain,
Content as can be,
Trapped in this world
Of misery.
Until I fade,
Content to lie here
In silent wait,
My cage binds my mind
But not my limbs,
It kills my soul
But leaves my skin
Unscathed by knives,
But torn by words,
My conscious frays
A world of hurt,
Yet I remain,
Content as can be,
Trapped in this world
Of misery.

Trapped
The curtain closes
And the real show begins,
I no longer have to worry
About the curdled looks of the crowd
Hidden I can stay,
In a cage of my own demise
Happily torturing myself
Until I finally fade to night
I've finally descended to insanity
But that is no surprise
It's the moment I've been waiting for
And then maybe I'll please the crowd
But even in my seclusion
I'm a display for all to see
Just another twisted freak at the circus
That will never please their hungry eyes
How can they be satisfied
With...

Halfway Gone
Incinerating
Deep inside
It feels like someone’s
Gonna die
Lives have slipped
Through time’s confines
The chains that bind
The young and wise
To be so close
But far away
I cannot bear
Another day
The knives that prod
My tortured mind
Have numbed my senses
And closed my eyes
I do not live
I only breathe
My pulse is here
But I’m on leave
I’m slowly slipping
Down the hill
I feel like leaving
And I will
My time is up
And I’ve long since gone
But I’m still here,...
Deep inside
It feels like someone’s
Gonna die
Lives have slipped
Through time’s confines
The chains that bind
The young and wise
To be so close
But far away
I cannot bear
Another day
The knives that prod
My tortured mind
Have numbed my senses
And closed my eyes
I do not live
I only breathe
My pulse is here
But I’m on leave
I’m slowly slipping
Down the hill
I feel like leaving
And I will
My time is up
And I’ve long since gone
But I’m still here,...

Dawn Comes After Death
Crimson trails
Carved down my heart,
the pain has faded
my life can start
A muffled thud
I hit the floor
My breath is still
Forever more
The chains are gone
That held me back
My life is slipping
Through the cracks
A darkened pit
That lulls me in
Like a pleasant dream
About to begin
My time is done
And now I'm gone,
But with it comes
A brighter dawn.
Carved down my heart,
the pain has faded
my life can start
A muffled thud
I hit the floor
My breath is still
Forever more
The chains are gone
That held me back
My life is slipping
Through the cracks
A darkened pit
That lulls me in
Like a pleasant dream
About to begin
My time is done
And now I'm gone,
But with it comes
A brighter dawn.

Bystander
You dropped dead
Before my eyes
Your smile faded
Your bright eyes cracked
Your happy frame
Wilted into dust
And I only watched
As your demise unfolded
Right before me
I did nothing
Only watched
I saw you tumble
I saw your fall
I saw as the person I once knew
Just wasn't there at all
It seemed to me
Like you'd changed in an instant
A painful heartbeat
But inside I know
I watched your colors run
For time on end
But I stood frozen
Convinced that I could do nothing
Watched you fade
Saw your tears...
Before my eyes
Your smile faded
Your bright eyes cracked
Your happy frame
Wilted into dust
And I only watched
As your demise unfolded
Right before me
I did nothing
Only watched
I saw you tumble
I saw your fall
I saw as the person I once knew
Just wasn't there at all
It seemed to me
Like you'd changed in an instant
A painful heartbeat
But inside I know
I watched your colors run
For time on end
But I stood frozen
Convinced that I could do nothing
Watched you fade
Saw your tears...

Hellbound
Taken by storm
And swept out to sea
With only a coffin
He's not paid his fee
His debts are now due
But he still hasn't paid
Who will he turn to
To get his life made?
The executioner's busy
Long blade in hand
He's killed the poor wife
Her words buried in sand
And what did he do
To earn the world's wrath?
He descended to darkness
And strayed from his path.
It isn't his fault
That he was consumed,
But to the rest of the world
He's already doomed
So now he lies
In the darkness of day...
And swept out to sea
With only a coffin
He's not paid his fee
His debts are now due
But he still hasn't paid
Who will he turn to
To get his life made?
The executioner's busy
Long blade in hand
He's killed the poor wife
Her words buried in sand
And what did he do
To earn the world's wrath?
He descended to darkness
And strayed from his path.
It isn't his fault
That he was consumed,
But to the rest of the world
He's already doomed
So now he lies
In the darkness of day...

Midnight Hour
The crowd is silent,
The stage is set,
Here's the motliest crew
That you've ever met
We have demons and ghouls,
fanged bats and dark cages,
Please don't stall the show
We've been waiting for ages
The children are fast asleep in their beds,
Pictures of sweet dreams filling their heads.
Unaware, of what's to come,
That the midnight hour is to dread
When the streets are all silent,
And the shadows are long,
The monsters creep out,
Knowing they've been wronged
Banished from the light by the sun's brilliant rays,...
