~The truth is in the eyes~
I feel like I could die
Its kinda hard to hide
the reason why
Telling all these lies
Hoping no one sees
The truth behind these eyes
Its kinda hard to hide
the reason why
Telling all these lies
Hoping no one sees
The truth behind these eyes

what to do
Words can not describe
These feelings inside
Tangled, confused
With not knowing what to do
Do I stay?
Do I go?
He will scream this i know
If I leave him all alone
But how much longer can i stand him and his control?
My life is not mine
Not now
Nor ever
At least so he thinks
He reeks of possessiveness
To cut my ties
I could die
Or so I fear
Threats of violence have been made before
It shakes me to my core
What do i do?
What do i do?
How i wish i knew!!

~Twister~
twisted tangled
shrieking breaking
branches swirling away
from where they once stayed
roots coming up
to meet the black sky
cars flying by
in different directions
this storm's reflection
is all destruction
house shaking
roof tearing
few minutes pass
then silence
shrieking breaking
branches swirling away
from where they once stayed
roots coming up
to meet the black sky
cars flying by
in different directions
this storm's reflection
is all destruction
house shaking
roof tearing
few minutes pass
then silence

~freedom flight~
hold fast
don't let the past
hold you captive
fight from your dark abyss
with your fists
then spread your dark wings and fly
no longer be tied
to gloomy depression
that oppresses you
but let the brillant light
from your freedom flight
shine upon you
don't let the past
hold you captive
fight from your dark abyss
with your fists
then spread your dark wings and fly
no longer be tied
to gloomy depression
that oppresses you
but let the brillant light
from your freedom flight
shine upon you

Emotional Titanic
darkness looming
forever dooming
heart sinking to the bottom
like an invisible titanic
in an ocean of emotions
sadness pain dispair
all having a killer flair
floats to the top
crashing with wave after wave
never receding
brain a confused mess
heart bleeding to death
turns the oceans red
happiness turning to lead
disappearing under the frigid waters
nevermore to be seen again
forever dooming
heart sinking to the bottom
like an invisible titanic
in an ocean of emotions
sadness pain dispair
all having a killer flair
floats to the top
crashing with wave after wave
never receding
brain a confused mess
heart bleeding to death
turns the oceans red
happiness turning to lead
disappearing under the frigid waters
nevermore to be seen again

Pain Nevermore
Fists flying through the air
so much pain to bear
wishing they would disarm
and no longer cause harm
bruises everywhere
thinking no one cares
crying at night
hurt and alone
never knowing the light
or having a real home
cowering scared in the closet
hoping not to be found
knowing when he comes home drunk
to just lay there and take it
blows striking their target
like a heat seeking missile
wishing to be dead
so this agony will end
deepest darkest fear
to not get out of here
shedding many tears
stumbling in the...

~Alive at Night~
As I walk into the night
my heart takes flight
the dark's comforting surrounds me
the stars open a secret dimension with a key
so you see
the night so opposite from day
it's my own secret world
in which I can play
oh how i wish I could stay
but when the dawn breaks
and the stars flicker out
I pout and go back into the house
to brave another day and live another night
my heart takes flight
the dark's comforting surrounds me
the stars open a secret dimension with a key
so you see
the night so opposite from day
it's my own secret world
in which I can play
oh how i wish I could stay
but when the dawn breaks
and the stars flicker out
I pout and go back into the house
to brave another day and live another night

~ZOMBIES~
Brain dead
Rotting corpse
walking around without a thought
risen from your grave
to pave the way for someone else
whats the harm??
your already dead
why not be a plaything
for someone higher in the social ring
cult leaders going to war
with their own private set of zombie toys
no one wins
no one loses
for they are dead after all

~Paying The Price~
I'm in the mood to kill
some blood might be spilled
rip rip
is the sound I make
kill kill
is what I think
body parts flying through the air
I'm only being fair
they pissed me off
what can I say
this is how they must pay
some blood might be spilled
rip rip
is the sound I make
kill kill
is what I think
body parts flying through the air
I'm only being fair
they pissed me off
what can I say
this is how they must pay

~Death is Peaceful~
My world again is coming down all around me
falling apart at the seams
so much is going wrong
at least thats what it seems
even with the help of the razor
my frustrations and anger will not cease
I'm praying to the heavens
god please take me
I would like to become an angel
at least then I might find peace
the darkened caverns of a coffin
may be my only release
falling apart at the seams
so much is going wrong
at least thats what it seems
even with the help of the razor
my frustrations and anger will not cease
I'm praying to the heavens
god please take me
I would like to become an angel
at least then I might find peace
the darkened caverns of a coffin
may be my only release

~Never really Fell~
All is well
as I walk out of hell
I guess I never really fell
but most couldn't tell
I was rebelling
and fighting
as my world was secretly falling
no one could reach me
I was too far away
until you came to stay
and my heart gave way
so thank you my dear
now I have no fear
I'm back in the land of the normals
ready to conform
as long as I no longer have to go there
where my fears are raw and bare
as I walk out of hell
I guess I never really fell
but most couldn't tell
I was rebelling
and fighting
as my world was secretly falling
no one could reach me
I was too far away
until you came to stay
and my heart gave way
so thank you my dear
now I have no fear
I'm back in the land of the normals
ready to conform
as long as I no longer have to go there
where my fears are raw and bare

~Death to the Young~
Dark hair
pale face
he wears the look of death
his tiny chest
no longer rises
his eyes no longer open
cool touch
body stiff
he now dances in the after life
his mind forever dark
his limbs no longer move
blue lips
stale blood
lowered into the ground
never more to live
pale face
he wears the look of death
his tiny chest
no longer rises
his eyes no longer open
cool touch
body stiff
he now dances in the after life
his mind forever dark
his limbs no longer move
blue lips
stale blood
lowered into the ground
never more to live
