Tell Me To Let Go
This waiting is putting holes inside of me
it is my choice, my paradox
but I cannot turn away from it.
No. Instead I let it consume me
this fire is not one of passion
it is a painful thing.
I want to believe your lies,
more than anything I want to believe in you.
I let your words reside and turn them into ignorant truths.
I let them because I love you.
I lie to myself because I love you.
Does this not hurt you?
To see me completely broken at your feet?
When did I become so weak?
You did this.
I let you.
I have created hope from...
it is my choice, my paradox
but I cannot turn away from it.
No. Instead I let it consume me
this fire is not one of passion
it is a painful thing.
I want to believe your lies,
more than anything I want to believe in you.
I let your words reside and turn them into ignorant truths.
I let them because I love you.
I lie to myself because I love you.

This f**king Hurts
I can't stand this fucking pain
this ache without a choice
there is no longer any solace here
and I'm left without a voice
I'm fighting now to stay grounded
when all I want is to run
to bury this chapter and leave you behind;
the death of the undone
I clutch desperately at my chest
terrified of the painful clarity
I wish that I could tear out my heart
so the world would see the severity
I have been here before
and I have cried away your kiss
I am not a stranger to pain and loss
but never before has it hurt like this...
this ache without a choice
there is no longer any solace here
and I'm left without a voice
I'm fighting now to stay grounded

I clutch desperately at my chest
terrified of the painful clarity
I wish that I could tear out my heart
so the world would see the severity
I have been here before

I am not a stranger to pain and loss

Forgotten
I have been forgotten.
You left me here alone,
To walk the edge so carefully
And avoid the casted stones.
I have been forsaken.
Despite how much I love
So much of me was taken
In this game of push and shove.
I have been taken for granted,
by the hands and hearts of liars
who have taken away pieces of me
while leaving my heart on fire.
I have been selfishly abused,
at the cost of truth and trust,
left to bleed so broken and used
while turning my dreams to dust.
I have been a victim,
but I will no longer bear it
I will put...

Hiding My Lies
I will hide under covers
And lie to my lovers
About the sins that stain my sheets
As dirty, vicious, empty wishes
Lead me back into the streets
I could cry and pray
As I try to stay
But fate will not be beat
And I could turn my back
And avoid the cracks
But temptation is such a treat
I have tried to share
All the pain I bear
But I scar my flesh despite
So I have closed my eyes
To hide my lies
And spare you from my plight
I will beg and plea
For you to let me be
But I need you to survive
It's time...
And lie to my lovers
About the sins that stain my sheets
As dirty, vicious, empty wishes
Lead me back into the streets

And avoid the cracks
But temptation is such a treat
I have tried to share
All the pain I bear
But I scar my flesh despite
So I have closed my eyes
To hide my lies
And spare you from my plight

Fireworks
No matter what I give
I lose despite
I cannot win with you
So this is my final fight
I hate this facade
lying for the hell of it
I cant play along now
or help you to sell it
You can give what you want
but I will take nothing more
as I quit playing your games
and stop being your whore
No more of my gentleness
or dumb talks of "destiny"
I was a gift to you
and gave the best of me
You can keep all your "sorry's"
as I take mine back
and you can lie to the world
for all that you lack
You can break...

Letters To Her
How did this happen?
I can barely remember your face now
but I can never forget the pain,
the cold chill of death freezing my insides.
I was sure that I died with you in the hospital that night;
my light being snuffed out by an infinite darkness
just as night extinguishes day.
I'm still not sure of who the person is that wore my face
as I took that first step beyond the end,
because I am still here.
I'm not even half alive now yet my lungs still
desperately suck in the stale air of this pseudo life,
trying to blend in with a purpose but only...

RED
Too many times I've cried this goodbye,
all too often I've inked this rhyme,
and still consumed by the "whys?" and lies
as my heart breaks one last time
I have given and taken perhaps too much,
but I loved well and always for free
I've been teased with ever-trusting touch
and the illusion that my curse would finally let me be
There's a misery that comes with letting go
and it tears me without care or concern;
so I will wear secret scars that never show
and bear a pain I've never earned
No more of your touch, taste or...

Beautiful Lies
We're taught to be happy,
to be selfless and strong
and to survive the tides of torment
as we drag our dreams along
We're taught to be carefree
yet we wish, worry and weep
and we long for a taste of truth and trust
as we "lie" ourselves to sleep
We're taught to love and accept it in return
but passsion plays tricks on the mind;
turning our desires into dirt and dust
and leaving pieces of the heart behind
We're taught to seek survival
as death beats hard on hope,
so we grab desperately into the void
only to...

The Cowards Addiction
You are cocaine and heroine
that tore my insides
But I loved the addiction
so I let you reside
I lost all of me
in your delicious drug
and drank you down
pretentious love
Traced invisible lines
accross your lips
and accepted your lies
and your sinful abyss
You sunk your teeth
into my welcoming flesh
and fed on my lust
until no longer fresh
You pulled me inside of you
again and again
screaming in rapture
and loving the sin
Our bodies combined
indulgence delivered

The Devil's Puppet
Raging pain pumps through my veins
the self-constricting chains remain
always the game is the same
Chaos created so nasty and nice
blood lost from a razor blade slice
a paradox of pain for a price
So give me your pills and tie me a noose
or whatever death you charmingly choose
just deliver me from this maelstrom's abuse
I sold you my soul and have nothing to lose.

Aftertaste
Shallow, seething, scared and cold
Nothing but chains and pain to hold
Wretched, reaking, rotten lament
A hope-filled heart now hard as cement
Sick, twisted, tangled traps
The vindication was taken back
Blinding, burning, blistering hope
Trust comes only with ten feet of rope
Wicked, writhing, wasted truce
I close my eyes while clinching the noose
Dirty, dreary, desperate love
I hold on tight as you push and shove
Greasy, grimey, grotesque goodbyes
I open wide to swallow the lies
Putrid, primal, pus-filled pain
Teased...

The Dreamer's Dream
Dream tonight the Dreamer's Dream
and escape the pain and sorrow,
dream of places you have never been
and LIVE before tomorrow
Dream of days much brighter than this,
dream of nights much more devine;
a stressless life, blanketed in bliss
in a world without torment or time
Dream yourself to be anything you want,
dream of passion you desire,
dream without worry of tease or taunt
and set your cold senses on fire!
Let go of the past that haunts you
and dream of the future you seek,
dream of skies more perfect and blue
and...
