Would you break the fall?
Could you breath as the ground sifts your fears?
Some of the times
There's an untreaded ambience here
Adolescence keeps you blinded for many a year
No, it isn't right, it isn't fair
But we were there
Are we here to fill out party favors?
In the back room
When parents aren't here
So only friends can hear
A hand in mine, everytime
I would poke my eye blind
My poker face to say that
I'm one of a kind
The last kind you'd find
It takes so long to break these old habits
Would you break...
Some of the times
There's an untreaded ambience here
Adolescence keeps you blinded for many a year
No, it isn't right, it isn't fair
But we were there
Are we here to fill out party favors?
In the back room
When parents aren't here
So only friends can hear
A hand in mine, everytime
I would poke my eye blind
My poker face to say that
I'm one of a kind
The last kind you'd find
It takes so long to break these old habits

Counter Betray
It's not a puzzle that can be solved
Not a posession that you can keep
There is no warmth to offer you company
It shoots to thrill you, dead in a dream
You broke a promise, I'd die to keep
I would indeed, but why should you care?
To try and break it
I couldn't sleep, but why should you care?
To confiscate it
Holy rollers are here to preach again
I have been sold out here as a sheep
Feeling naked other than the rain on my skin
The cold in the throat makes it hard to breathe
Tomorrow seems like any other day to die
Don't...
Not a posession that you can keep

For the Less of Two
I, I really tried to believe
That I could gain what I couldn't retrieve
That I, I could receive
What I want before failing to perceive
Another bed head morning
Hangover's screaming aloud
A sour taste building in my throat
Last night I drowned
Today I choked
But I, I can remember all I could see
This piece of dirt has always been mine
In this hall of funhouse mirrors
I can only see the mirage of me
Well I am a substance versus your accuser
A pattern beaten black by the user
You're the bottle of Daniels...
That I could gain what I couldn't retrieve
That I, I could receive
What I want before failing to perceive
Another bed head morning
Hangover's screaming aloud
A sour taste building in my throat
Last night I drowned
Today I choked
But I, I can remember all I could see
This piece of dirt has always been mine
In this hall of funhouse mirrors
I can only see the mirage of me
Well I am a substance versus your accuser
A pattern beaten black by the user
You're the bottle of Daniels...

Losing Dimension
Head starts to deflate
Hot air exiting through my ears
I'm flattening, losing dimension
I'm not in this room alone
For a moment I lay
Lay here catatonic
Something's coming
Silhouettes at night
I dare close my eyes
I wake up, as always
The nightmare returns
Television flickering
Terror on pay per view
Billions of eyes
Staring through me
My ego compressed
My skin is being tugged
I dare look in the mirror
And I am gone
Hot air exiting through my ears
I'm flattening, losing dimension
I'm not in this room alone
For a moment I lay
Lay here catatonic
Something's coming
Silhouettes at night
I dare close my eyes
I wake up, as always
The nightmare returns
Television flickering
Terror on pay per view
Billions of eyes
Staring through me
My ego compressed
My skin is being tugged
I dare look in the mirror
And I am gone

Vacant Majesty
I am a proud member of this bloodlust society
Where I receive my propaganda education
I eagerly learn about the vacant majesty
Of my beloved suicide nation
I'm nested safely in my sickle celled community
Masochism is my vocation
Freedom has been bought by the east
Leech us dry, parasitic possesion
It's not much of a life to say the least
I'm not depressed, just in a small recession.
Here we are feeding the disease again
Hearts beat louder,faster, then silent as the grave
Enemy is the name you give to friends
Smog swallows the sun,...
Where I receive my propaganda education
I eagerly learn about the vacant majesty
Of my beloved suicide nation
I'm nested safely in my sickle celled community
Masochism is my vocation

Leech us dry, parasitic possesion
It's not much of a life to say the least
I'm not depressed, just in a small recession.

Perfect Haiku
Because you're perfect
You know everything, right?
You're to good to shit

Shrapnel Love Letter Bomb Version 2
I opened my valentine card love-letter bomb
Where I was penetrated by your shrapnel caress
Stabbed by the bleeding explosion grafted to my nervous system
In between my skin and your own which we shared
Under a moonlight sonata in my brain
A beating lump breaks through the seams
Of my chest followed by the slithered entrails
Of a once live heart now spilling down the drain
Feeding the lovelorn vampires who have gone insane
Out in the rain I couldn't speak
I took away my everything
No matter what I tried to say, you slipped away
Spring...
Where I was penetrated by your shrapnel caress
Stabbed by the bleeding explosion grafted to my nervous system
In between my skin and your own which we shared
Under a moonlight sonata in my brain
A beating lump breaks through the seams
Of my chest followed by the slithered entrails
Of a once live heart now spilling down the drain
Feeding the lovelorn vampires who have gone insane
Out in the rain I couldn't speak
I took away my everything
No matter what I tried to say, you slipped away

Telephone's Final Breath
This is the anthem of the half-hearted lad
Nothing makes much sense now
All the voices dance then fade to sand
Nothing makes much sense now
I just now punctured my life preserver
While the telephone rings its final breath
As the sky sinks into this opaque land
I become an unraveled ball of thread
Nothing makes much sense now
SCREAMING! I HEAR SCREAMING!
JUST LET IT GO! JUST LET IT GO!
RETURN TO THE DARK BLUE WATERS
Oh my lovingsilhouette, don't you cry
Good by Juliet, the clock ticks on by
This happens every time
...
Nothing makes much sense now
All the voices dance then fade to sand
Nothing makes much sense now
I just now punctured my life preserver

Nothing makes much sense now
SCREAMING! I HEAR SCREAMING!
JUST LET IT GO! JUST LET IT GO!
RETURN TO THE DARK BLUE WATERS

Please, Oh Please (Don't be My Heaven)
Please, oh please just tell me
How you do these tricks
The tricks that turn my head
Those moves that make me burn red
Those magic words that you said
Just how can you do this?
Please promise me, just promise that
I won't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
How could you really know me
In ways that I can't say?
The feeling grows and grows each day
Show me how you always make me stay
How you make the emptiness go away
How am I supposed to get through this?
Please don't make me, Please don't make me...
How you do these tricks
The tricks that turn my head
Those moves that make me burn red
Those magic words that you said
Just how can you do this?
Please promise me, just promise that
I won't fall in love with you
I can't fall in love with you
How could you really know me

The feeling grows and grows each day
Show me how you always make me stay
How you make the emptiness go away
How am I supposed to get through this?
Please don't make me, Please don't make me...

Stained Glass Songbird
When I was a young man I never took much into account in my life other than the "big
picture". The little details that make up something greater in life were ignored or worse,
unappreciated. I went about my life without direction and without concern of my place on this
earth other than what the world had to offer me to ease my occasionally troubled mind. When I
was at the age thirteen years old however, I discovered that at times the most meaningless of
events can have the most incredible impact in a person's life. Nothing is trivial. My...

Don't Ask Me Who I Am
Please don't ask me who I am
Or how or when this life began
Or how I ended up with you
Nor how I lived my life before
Because I can't recall a thing at all
It's nothing you need to know about me now
I can't attempt to recall a memory
All I have is a waking dream
It's you,me, and the autumn leaves
It's the only world I know
All the things I never said
All the things I thought before
It's nothing now you're all I need
What once meant so much to me
Is forever gone in eternity
It isn't worth a cent to me
You're all...
Or how or when this life began
Or how I ended up with you
Nor how I lived my life before
Because I can't recall a thing at all
It's nothing you need to know about me now
I can't attempt to recall a memory
All I have is a waking dream
It's you,me, and the autumn leaves
It's the only world I know
All the things I never said
All the things I thought before
It's nothing now you're all I need
What once meant so much to me
Is forever gone in eternity
It isn't worth a cent to me

A World Away from Town
In a scrappy little mound
He's a world away from town
And his bills fall on me
Like his blood on the ground
There are no jobs
Can't make a dime
I'll join the corps.
I'll serve my time
I'll hate enemy gods just as they'll hate mine
As gas fill up our tanks
I won't get a shred of thanks
And as the guns fire all around
And a child's broken on the ground
No matter how hard I fought
I'm gone, I have been shot
I'll leave my love,my whole world
Or shall my world leave me?
In a scrappy little mound
I'm a world...
He's a world away from town
And his bills fall on me
Like his blood on the ground
There are no jobs
Can't make a dime
I'll join the corps.
I'll serve my time
I'll hate enemy gods just as they'll hate mine
As gas fill up our tanks
I won't get a shred of thanks
And as the guns fire all around
And a child's broken on the ground
No matter how hard I fought
I'm gone, I have been shot
I'll leave my love,my whole world
Or shall my world leave me?
In a scrappy little mound
I'm a world...
