Good cannot exist without evil
I am not sure which emotion is more lethal,
Hate or guilt...
No doubt, both of them are extremely toxic, but which is more preferable ?
Hate is incredibly lonely, which only fuels the hate
And guilt is dreadfully crowded, which ignites the fire
So which is it then?
Hate leaves an unbelievable mark
And guilt? slithers by unseen, unheard
Well one might argue, that the hate is rightfully distributed, or earned
Oh and don't forget the guilt was waiting dutifully for your arrival.
And don't forget, my friend, you bought the ticket.
Does that ease the...

Will you?
If I take your hand, will you hold it back?
Will you caress my fingers with that certain touch I crave
Blocking the darkness that contains only one color, black,
Creating some kind of love-filled energy wave
Will you look into my eyes?
No, will you touch my skin?
And above and beside and anything else that lies?
Will you not only look without, but within?
Will you kiss my neck, the way that sort of..taunts?
The way that I want to be taunted, the way that makes me feel wanted
Will you love me, I mean, will you love me how I want?
Will you caress my fingers with that certain touch I crave
Blocking the darkness that contains only one color, black,
Creating some kind of love-filled energy wave
Will you look into my eyes?
No, will you touch my skin?
And above and beside and anything else that lies?
Will you not only look without, but within?
Will you kiss my neck, the way that sort of..taunts?
The way that I want to be taunted, the way that makes me feel wanted
Will you love me, I mean, will you love me how I want?

Please
I'm having blurred vision without tears in my eyes
Questioning when is it safe to cry
Please save me from this room
Save me from this emotional experience bound to be doomed
Drag me by my hair away
Because I promise you I want so badly to stay
Choke me until I can't breathe
Because this is something that I crave, that I need
Don't comfort me until I drift into a further atmosphere
Because then I'll beg you to stay here
Can you hear the pain in my voice
The subtle fear in my slim noise
Can you see it?
Questioning when is it safe to cry

Don't comfort me until I drift into a further atmosphere
Because then I'll beg you to stay here
Can you hear the pain in my voice
The subtle fear in my slim noise

Oxymoron
I am currently living in an oxymoron
Where being alone at any time is completely terrifying
And the presence of people is excruciating
And being silent causes me emotional stress
Yet verbalizing my thoughts makes me weak
Earning compliments throws me in a state of a depressing uncertainty
Yet insults seem to haunt and humiliate me
Comfort is what I yearn for,
Yet no one can do it properly which causes me dissatisfaction
My standards remain incredibly low
With the most extreme expectations
I acknowledge the emotions my mind will allow me
Knowing...

Masked Individuals
It's such a hard feeling to explain
Constantly living life in fear and pain
Living as a spectator to my own life
Wondering when my good luck will strike
How do you explain being a separate person from yourself
That is an experience that no one can help
I view the world far more distant than any of you
Then I proceed to interpret my views
I accept the reality
That we all live so ignorantly
Covering our very own eyes
And building our entire foundation of life on lies
Yet we fail to acknowledge that pure and simple statement
That a masked...

If I Died Today
If I died today,
What could I say?
I lived a "wonderful" life
Living in constant strife
What will it mean for me?
Can dying be considered lucky?
Will I be in more pain?
Will being alive drive me insane?
When you do something wrong
Suddenly you can't be strong
And maybe you can call me weak...
And maybe I won't see the end of the week
What could I say?
I lived a "wonderful" life
Living in constant strife

Why Do We Keep Going
Imagine that one day you go to a coffee shop
You order the regular and take your seat in the corner
Sometimes you like to people watch
You stare at Johnny and start to realize something
Who is this person?
You see him everyday when you come to the coffee shop
Why can't you recognize him?
Yes, you know he comes there everyday
You know you have seen him before
But really who is he? What is he?
You look around at everybody
Who are these people?
Where are you? What are you doing?
You don't have to be told that this is real ...

Will it Ever End?
Imagine going to see a movie
And you're watching it
But it never ends
And there's no remote to change the channel
You keep sitting there watching someone else's life
And the days drag by and the movie just never ends
It starts to get boring and you try to get up...
But someone tied you to the chair, your stuck
How did you get here?
How can you escape?
Will it ever end?
Will you ever come back to life?
It's been so long you can't wait any longer
The movie keeps becoming more distant
You slowly start to drown out the sound
Slowly...
And you're watching it
But it never ends
And there's no remote to change the channel
You keep sitting there watching someone else's life
And the days drag by and the movie just never ends
It starts to get boring and you try to get up...
But someone tied you to the chair, your stuck
How did you get here?
How can you escape?
Will it ever end?
Will you ever come back to life?
It's been so long you can't wait any longer
The movie keeps becoming more distant
You slowly start to drown out the sound

Let Me Be Straight
Do I really deserve this?
My life will never be at bliss
I'm disgusting, a monster
The devils calling to me, "Let's taunt her"
With evil thoughts
Make that brain fucking rot
to the worthless shit it represents
These feelings aren't very pleasant
I feel a pulling on my heart
Like this pain is literally tearing me apart
I can't think in a straight path
I wish I could wash this shit off in the bath
What did I do?
To deserve this from you
There's just too much on my plate,
Please God please just let me be straight
My life will never be at bliss
I'm disgusting, a monster
The devils calling to me, "Let's taunt her"
With evil thoughts
Make that brain fucking rot
to the worthless shit it represents
These feelings aren't very pleasant
I feel a pulling on my heart
Like this pain is literally tearing me apart
I can't think in a straight path
I wish I could wash this shit off in the bath
What did I do?
To deserve this from you
There's just too much on my plate,
Please God please just let me be straight

Could You Tell Me What It's Like?
Could you tell me what's it's like
To fall down and reach up
And all of a sudden everyone's on strike
They see you, but they don't give a fuck
Or maybe they just don't see you
Do you feel any better?
And now you're old news
Plus the rain and cold is your only shelter
Tell me how does it feel
Living with shame and regret as a nationality
What's your deal?
Smoking death and drinking poison to escape reality?
Tell me, do you feel alive?
Can you even talk over the shouting?
Can you even see me through your teary eyes?...
To fall down and reach up
And all of a sudden everyone's on strike
They see you, but they don't give a fuck
Or maybe they just don't see you
Do you feel any better?
And now you're old news

Tell me how does it feel
Living with shame and regret as a nationality

You Said You'd Call Back
You said you would call me back
And I waited
I waited by that damn phone for hours
Every five minutes
I checked for texts and calls that never came
Fine, message received
I promise myself I'll stop sitting on my knees
Bowing to your very presence
And I'll tell you it's taking all my fucking might
Not to dial your number
Maybe the signal was bad
Maybe you were too busy
Haha or maybe you lost your phone!
Or maybe I just can't take a hint
Because you said you'd call me back
And I waited
I waited by that damn phone for hours
Every five minutes
I checked for texts and calls that never came
Fine, message received
I promise myself I'll stop sitting on my knees
Bowing to your very presence
And I'll tell you it's taking all my fucking might
Not to dial your number
Maybe the signal was bad
Maybe you were too busy
Haha or maybe you lost your phone!
Or maybe I just can't take a hint
Because you said you'd call me back
