For My Sister On Her Birthday
I know that we aren't as close as we could be
But somewhere inside you'll always be a part of me
The craziness of this life that we both lived through
There are times I only survived cuz of you
We had each other and sometimes I treated you bad
But the truth is I knew we were all that we had
I think back on the days when were young and naive
We always got each others back this I know and believe
Our childhood gave us both crosses to bear
Mental afflictions that will always be there
I...

What Lurks Beneath
Sitting in this room alone again
The tears cannot be stopped
Walking on air for multiple days
How quickly my mood has dropped
Pushing away a little at a time
A master at this game
Hounded by the guilt i feel
Wrapped up in this shame
I showed too much of what lurks within
What made me think I could?
No one can bear this weight of darkness
No one ever should
I cannot share this part of me
It leaves ruin within its wake
She won't become another victim
I can't make that...
The tears cannot be stopped
Walking on air for multiple days
How quickly my mood has dropped
Pushing away a little at a time
A master at this game
Hounded by the guilt i feel
Wrapped up in this shame
I showed too much of what lurks within
What made me think I could?
No one can bear this weight of darkness
No one ever should
I cannot share this part of me
It leaves ruin within its wake
She won't become another victim
I can't make that...

Your Turn To Listen
Theres a banging at the door
But i refuse to let you in
Ive given you so much of me
This time you will not win
Fuck these thoughts and all your lies
Im doing this for me
You won't distort this happiness
I will not let that be
All my life Ive given in
Ive let you have control
The monster I created
By letting you feed off of my soul
But she frightens you, I sense the fear
Your desparation shows
As your grip on me begins to wane
The stronger our bond grows.
Im not running this time
I...
But i refuse to let you in
Ive given you so much of me
This time you will not win
Fuck these thoughts and all your lies
Im doing this for me
You won't distort this happiness
I will not let that be
All my life Ive given in
Ive let you have control
The monster I created
By letting you feed off of my soul
But she frightens you, I sense the fear
Your desparation shows
As your grip on me begins to wane
The stronger our bond grows.
Im not running this time

Mom
I dont blame you for what happened
I know you tried your best
Fighting with your own demons
Set forth upon a quest
To find the love you never knew
So desparate you became
Yet every man you came across
Turned out to be the same
A little girl grew up too fast
You didn't have a choice
The very man that gave you life
Also stole your voice
So many times I wished that I
Could take that pain away
Lead you to that which you seek
Make everything OK
I understand your demons
I walk with them...
I know you tried your best
Fighting with your own demons
Set forth upon a quest
To find the love you never knew
So desparate you became
Yet every man you came across
Turned out to be the same
A little girl grew up too fast
You didn't have a choice
The very man that gave you life
Also stole your voice
So many times I wished that I
Could take that pain away
Lead you to that which you seek
Make everything OK
I understand your demons
I walk with them...

The Ledge
The lows are getting lower
The highs not quite as high
Can't stop myself from bottoming out
No matter how hard I try
The darkness unrelenting
Pushing me to the edge
Taking til theres nothing left
I can't back off this ledge
How much can i handle?
Before I just give in
Grant the darkness what it wants
Commit my final sin
Its drawing nearer every day
Deaths waiting close at hand
I feel the cold grip on my throat
This is my final stand
Im here now ready to accept
Too willing to submit...
The highs not quite as high
Can't stop myself from bottoming out
No matter how hard I try
The darkness unrelenting
Pushing me to the edge
Taking til theres nothing left
I can't back off this ledge
How much can i handle?
Before I just give in
Grant the darkness what it wants
Commit my final sin
Its drawing nearer every day
Deaths waiting close at hand
I feel the cold grip on my throat
This is my final stand
Im here now ready to accept
Too willing to submit...

Vengence
Being torn apart from the inside
Somewhere in this darkness is a child
Who loved, dreamed, trusted and had hope
But lost himself when that was defiled
Anger and fear obscure the way out
Pain and anguish keep him trapped in place
Regret and guilt make him too weak to fight
Its been a lifetime since the light touched his face
While he lays stuck in the void of nothing
The shell continues to move through the days
An empty husk going through the motions
Never present, always stuck in a haze
The darkness feeding...
Somewhere in this darkness is a child

Regret and guilt make him too weak to fight
Its been a lifetime since the light touched his face
While he lays stuck in the void of nothing
The shell continues to move through the days
An empty husk going through the motions
Never present, always stuck in a haze
The darkness feeding...

Just My Luck
Another morning
Still here
If not for bad luck
I would have none
Theres always tomorrow
Here's hoping
Still here
If not for bad luck
I would have none
Theres always tomorrow
Here's hoping
