My Dreams
The lights.
The camera.
The action.
The bond of brothers performing as one.
The fame.
The babes.
The pictures.
The family that's formed listening to Twisted Sisters.
The sound.
The pound.
Turn me around.
Looking at the faces of the loyal crowd.
The clothes.
The money.
The drugs.
My God, it doesn't matter if you're ugly fucks!
My dream.
My hopes.
That's all.
A joke.
No way.
To say.
I guess I won't be a rockstar today!

Questions Nobody Asks
Have you ever noticed what the world is today?
The people, places, and things have all changed.
That a young man can't help an old lady with her bags.
She tells him no, and then proceeds to hide her cash.
Have you ever noticed the elderly have come to fear the young?
And that the youth grow ever more dumb?
Have you noticed "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND"?
Have you noticed no one is willing to free their mind?
When was the last time you saw a child reading a book?
When was the last time a young lady wore a respectable look?
When did it become...

Tracks
Something so pure covered with stains.
A gift from God left with sinister remains.
Footprints of darkness left behind.
Tracks that stay and haunt the mind.
To wash them off a divine hand is needed.
Divinity doesn't interfere to remind the bleeding.
Scars left to force a memory.
Years later still without any purity.
Tattoos of pain and hurt will stay.
Speaking to the world they say what they say.
Throwing the past out in the open.
Wearing your skin like a theme song slogan.
The tracks of dope are preserved for time.
I've come to accept that...

Satellite
Staring down at the created world.
Analyzing everyone.
Computing all our sins and wrongdoings.
Wondering why.
Taking photos of all the people.
Watching them through your eye.
Noting all that they do.
And all the prayers up high.
Listening to the commands from below.
What to see, and where to go.
The pleads you hear I can't imagine.
Spreading lies, you lose your traction.
The common word is that you're bad.
Nobody should contain that much power.
They don't understand that you're not human.
Our words and judgement have...

Pleading Prayers
Father forgive me.
Forget my sinful ignorance.
Look past my chosen blindness.
Love me with all my flaws.
I know you showed yourself.
Turned my life completely around.
Showed me the way to live my life.
Yet I still walk blind.
I love you Lord with all my heart.
I don't know why I can't submit.
Thickheaded is how I am.
But you knew that already.
I beg of you to take over my life.
Take control, do what you'd like.
I've had control for far to long.
Look at how far I've come along!
I know you want more for me.
More then this life...
Forget my sinful ignorance.
Look past my chosen blindness.
Love me with all my flaws.
I know you showed yourself.
Turned my life completely around.
Showed me the way to live my life.
Yet I still walk blind.
I love you Lord with all my heart.
I don't know why I can't submit.
Thickheaded is how I am.
But you knew that already.
I beg of you to take over my life.
Take control, do what you'd like.
I've had control for far to long.

Domination
I struggle with these strangling thoughts....
wondering to myself, has my freedom been bought?
If so, what was it worth?
Can I now afford a hearse?
Have I sold my soul for a fair price?
Does this darkness believe all suffice?
It controls me.
Even when I plea.
I look for options of escape.
I find no answers, another take.
Day after day...
I search, never another way.
It's taken just about everything.
Leaving me nothing but a binge.
Family and friends look on with horror.
Seeing what I see looking in the mirror.

Time
It's come to an end.
Done, over, completely spent.
No more reason for this to continue.
All my time spent and I'm through.
This life is not what I wanted.
This place not to be flaunted.
I've accomplished zero in life.
I've accomplished just pure strife.
Time has come to turn the leaf.
Time has come for me to leave.
Time to change people, places, and things.
Time for me to open my wings.
Open these wings and fly away.
Time for me to dawn a new day.
A day where I start over free.
A day where I can find me.
Yes indeed the time has...
Done, over, completely spent.
No more reason for this to continue.
All my time spent and I'm through.
This life is not what I wanted.
This place not to be flaunted.
I've accomplished zero in life.
I've accomplished just pure strife.
Time has come to turn the leaf.
Time has come for me to leave.
Time to change people, places, and things.
Time for me to open my wings.
Open these wings and fly away.
Time for me to dawn a new day.

A day where I can find me.

Searching for Reasons
I sit here and contemplate suicide.
Clawing for a reason I shouldn't die.
Just a single reason.
A reason to keep breathing.
Something to live for.
A reason not to think this anymore.
I can't seem to find my answer.
It's spreading through me like a cancer.
Family and friends cross my mind.
Can they go on? Put their grief behind?
Do I even have any friends?
The people around, are they pretend?
I know a few in my family would cry.
I know a few would miss me if I died.
Is that enough to keep me going?
Is that enough to keep me floating?...
Clawing for a reason I shouldn't die.
Just a single reason.
A reason to keep breathing.
Something to live for.
A reason not to think this anymore.
I can't seem to find my answer.
It's spreading through me like a cancer.
Family and friends cross my mind.
Can they go on? Put their grief behind?
Do I even have any friends?

I know a few in my family would cry.

The Compilation
I wake up in the morning and the sickness begins.
So I scramble looking around for my best friend.
A friend who has never let me down.
A friend who's there as long as Ben's around.
A point some would call a star.
We look around to see from afar.
See if we can find somewhere safe.
See if we can find our own place.
A pin, a prick, just a little bit.
It's my life filled with last hits.
Just a little pain, a normal relationship.
Nothing wrong with liking chains and whips.
...

Unlike Any Other
Unlike any other.
A hand to pull me from the gutter.
More then blood.
Love pouring out like a raging flood.
Saved my life.
Pulled from my path of hate and strife.
Always there.
A never ending sea of unconditional care.
A debt owed.
My reality was about to run course; implode.
To my family.
I can't imagine without you the chaos I'd be.
I love you.
Nothing will make those emotions run through.
A hand to pull me from the gutter.
More then blood.
Love pouring out like a raging flood.
Saved my life.
Pulled from my path of hate and strife.
Always there.
A never ending sea of unconditional care.
A debt owed.
My reality was about to run course; implode.
To my family.
I can't imagine without you the chaos I'd be.
I love you.
Nothing will make those emotions run through.
