My Shattered Mind
Theworldisfullofshatteredminds,
SoI'mnottheonlyoneofmykind.
However,Istandalone,mysoulandme,
Beneaththemaskthatotherssee.

NopersonissafeuntilI'mdead.

Orion The Hunter
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Who’s that stranger, dark and tall?
Bathed in shadow, with a creepy grin,
I don’t recall inviting him in.
If he’s here to rob my mind,
He’s fallen quite a few steps behind.
I have no wealth or goods to speak of,
I left it all to my ungrateful love.
The only thing I have left is my soul,
A very small, caustic lump of coal.
What is it he want’s, you say?
A pound of flesh? There’s just no way.
I think an introduction is in order,
Before I cross that unforgivable border.

No Way Out
Crawling in darkness I see no light,
Crawling in darkness I try to fight.
This crushing pain that never ends,
I hope someday to make amends.
But as I sit here in the dark,
I see no light, I see no spark.
Now I seek to find a way,
To make this pain go away.
I see the knife, I see the pills,
I see the giant rocky hills.
None seem to be the way,
That I would choose to go someday.
So I sit here in the dark,
Still no light, still no spark.
Crawling in darkness I try to fight.
This crushing pain that never ends,
I hope someday to make amends.
But as I sit here in the dark,
I see no light, I see no spark.
Now I seek to find a way,
To make this pain go away.
I see the knife, I see the pills,
I see the giant rocky hills.
None seem to be the way,
That I would choose to go someday.
So I sit here in the dark,
Still no light, still no spark.
