Flickering, Dancing Spirit
Flickering flames creates dancing spirits
The light of dawn is a world away
Your voice is all but a memory
Deception, empty words thrown on a page
Pieces of you have lost their way
I close my eyes, hold back my listless head, try to stay awake
I promised that I'd meet you here, except you lost your way
You're fading, far away from my light
No matter how I shut my eyes
To your dancing flame, I grow weak again
My fallen friend
Pure heaven was your hand to hold
But I'm starting to realize
The need to turn away, break the...
The light of dawn is a world away

No matter how I shut my eyes

My fallen friend
Pure heaven was your hand to hold

You for Me, Me for You
Another day of bliss with you
Lying in the fields, watching cars go by
Our eyes flickered with stars dancing
Nothing is quite like you and me
Everyone sees the world is ours alone tonight
With every waking hour with you
It seems Earth just slips away
To live is to breath you
Here we're perfect all alone tonight
My life is enveloped by you
You've made my heart run away
So it will trade you for me, me for you
Every light bows to your smile
Love let live tonight
Forever a memory, watching cars go by
(The...

Shrapnel Valentine
I opened my valentine card love-letter bomb
Where I was penetrated by your shrapnel caress
The stabbing pain grafted to my nervous system
Between my skin and your own which we shared
Under a moonlight sonata in my brain
A beating lump breaks through the seams
Of a chest followed by the slithered entrails
Of a once live heart now spilling down the drain
Feeding lovelorn vampires who have gone insane
Why did you burn my bed of roses?
You stole my halo's self-esteem
Give me back my book of matches
You're a bitter...
Where I was penetrated by your shrapnel caress
The stabbing pain grafted to my nervous system
Between my skin and your own which we shared
Under a moonlight sonata in my brain
A beating lump breaks through the seams
Of a chest followed by the slithered entrails
Of a once live heart now spilling down the drain
Feeding lovelorn vampires who have gone insane
Why did you burn my bed of roses?

Heaven Bleeds in the Gutter
People whispering, silently judging him
Taking God's work into their own hands
They call him out and tear up his soul
His taste of heaven is bleeding into the gutter
Seeping to public consciousness taken by
Forces he cannot control
Girls are giggling,sinfully sodomizing
His self respect,he loses all faith in the world
The corridors of his heart are the proverbial sewers
Of mankind, his cigarette ashes stinks
Of his own regret, he's losing his mind
Wanting to exit himself, he runs to enter another
Penetrating...
Taking God's work into their own hands
They call him out and tear up his soul
His taste of heaven is bleeding into the gutter
Seeping to public consciousness taken by
Forces he cannot control
Girls are giggling,sinfully sodomizing
His self respect,he loses all faith in the world
The corridors of his heart are the proverbial sewers
Of mankind, his cigarette ashes stinks
Of his own regret, he's losing his mind
Wanting to exit himself, he runs to enter another

Necktie Birthday Party
The hanged man is dressed in his Sunday best
He slowly dangles from the tree
Neighborhood kids run out with sticks
Ready to break this pinata and take his treats
Oh it's quite a happy birthday indeed
He doesn't know what he did to get here
But the catastrophic medley is played just for him
The trailer park dads watch as they sip their beer
Cheering pure hearted kids who try to break him
Hoping to burst out the jelly and get to his candy center
During his agony he wonders the entire time
He can't imagine,...

Looking too Young, Feeling to Old
A beautiful breakdown, how it still lingers
Like grains of sand shifting through your fingers
Burying the land your mind inhabits
Where I was once a roommate
Friend, you're falling apart again
Is life getting too hard my friend?
Friend, you're falling apart again
Don't tell me, it's the end
You're stuck looking for shadows in the rain
Passing out,staring through your windowpane
It's all that you areand shall always be
Witness to the cold,wet, dark
Friend, you're falling apart again
Is life getting too hard...
Like grains of sand shifting through your fingers
Burying the land your mind inhabits
Where I was once a roommate
Friend, you're falling apart again
Is life getting too hard my friend?
Friend, you're falling apart again
Don't tell me, it's the end
You're stuck looking for shadows in the rain
Passing out,staring through your windowpane
It's all that you areand shall always be
Witness to the cold,wet, dark
Friend, you're falling apart again

Tainted Blood from the Divine
Silent,violent entity
Brought forth from alternate reality
Incantation left incomplete
It's disciples no longer think nor bleed
Spewed forth through nightshade and formaldehyde
Tainted blood from the divine
Virgin flesh and dragon's breath
Poisoned thorns crown thy head
Performed in the house of the dead
Release crashing stomps, rise the red seas
Bellowing smoke, breathing new disease
Churches burn, emerald cinders
Sun goes black, eyesight's hindered
Brought forth from alternate reality
Incantation left incomplete
It's disciples no longer think nor bleed
Spewed forth through nightshade and formaldehyde
Tainted blood from the divine
Virgin flesh and dragon's breath
Poisoned thorns crown thy head
Performed in the house of the dead
Release crashing stomps, rise the red seas
Bellowing smoke, breathing new disease
Churches burn, emerald cinders
Sun goes black, eyesight's hindered

What the Shadows Bring
Such beauty the shadows bring
That slowly melts away from me
What's once thought passion, pure desire
Built from baby's breath and dragon's fire
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna know your name
Now I lay me down to sleep
Pray dear lord my soul ain't cheap
If I die before I wake
I fear I've made a big mistake
Is this curse never gonna go
Never gonna go away?
I'm never gonna know
Never gonna know your name
What then sprang forth an angel's smile
Which left my world so beguiled
You...
That slowly melts away from me
What's once thought passion, pure desire
Built from baby's breath and dragon's fire

What Lays Dormant
Slowly I crawl
Clawing away at the ashes from flesh
Which has slowed me to a halt
Gnawing my way through bodies
On top of me hindering my view of
This radiant majesty this world offers
Love? What is it love?
Isit learned, or is mine simply lost?
Or maybe this old body next to me
Fell on it with it's dying breath
Hopefully it is merely dormant
Waiting for a light to shine
So I can finally turn it on
Which is why I crawl through the ashes
Through decay
To reach the light
To find my way
Clawing away at the ashes from flesh
Which has slowed me to a halt
Gnawing my way through bodies
On top of me hindering my view of
This radiant majesty this world offers
Love? What is it love?
Isit learned, or is mine simply lost?
Or maybe this old body next to me
Fell on it with it's dying breath
Hopefully it is merely dormant
Waiting for a light to shine
So I can finally turn it on
Which is why I crawl through the ashes
Through decay
To reach the light
To find my way

Do What the Dark Does Best
I kneel on this dirt mound
While my dreams lie in ruins
Noones around
I'm alone in the coldest black
I'm here to do what the dark does best
When no one's around
Another night where I tear the madness
Form my chest
And offer it to the holy ground
It's a place in the woods between love and hate
With my words written in stone
It's an epitaph on this piece of dirt
Which I carved with my bones
Here to bury the truth, come up with new lies
To do what the dark does best
And scream towards the sky ...
While my dreams lie in ruins
Noones around
I'm alone in the coldest black
I'm here to do what the dark does best
When no one's around
Another night where I tear the madness
Form my chest
And offer it to the holy ground
It's a place in the woods between love and hate
With my words written in stone
It's an epitaph on this piece of dirt
Which I carved with my bones
Here to bury the truth, come up with new lies
To do what the dark does best
And scream towards the sky ...

Requiem of Broken Glass (Father)
Father?
Can you hear me?
Are you even on this side of the dirt?
Or are you lost forever?
Ironic, the idea of six-feet under being
A world away
Or did you just leave?
Or was it me?
I have so many questions for you
Was I the replacement for my half-sisters?
Did you prefer a boy?
Perhaps I was a mere replacement
For that stillborn infant now locked
In a test tube?
Was I simply your way of smashing
that piece of glass in an attempt
To scoop out the son that never was?
To bring him to life?
...

Rib Cage
Cowards run, martyrs weep
Cyanide in your veins run deep
It's the only side I saw of you
You are angry and cold
Andalthough I neverwanted to,
The more I grew to know
I felt the explosion of thattrash of a heart
Splattering across your rib cage
Develop into arotting piece of art
It was my coming of age
Now each day I think less of you
Each time there is more I forget
Except the only side I saw of you
Amemory I regret
And yetmy loss of you
Has made myrib cagelike yours
My trash of a heart also...
Cyanide in your veins run deep
It's the only side I saw of you

Develop into arotting piece of art

Now each day I think less of you

Except the only side I saw of you

And yetmy loss of you
Has made myrib cagelike yours
