Eternal Soul
Across the kingdom of light I travel,
Into my mind, see reality unravel,
I am an eternal soul of light,
From infinity I jump into night,
Into the body of an unborn being,
Perception gone, only darkness seeing,
They call this a fetus, a baby perhaps,
Within this warm I feel time lapse,
Once free in the land of the sun,
But now my dying has begun,
I sense her discomfort, I feel her fear,
I know my end is coming near,
How can they take my life away,
But what is life? Why can't I stay?
To enjoy the sights I saw from beyond,
To breathe in...

The Door to Nothingness
The moon's so bright,
But my spirits so dim,
There's too much pain to feel within,
Choking down the bitterness,
Waiting for sensation to ignite,
My mind now closed,
Thoughts now dead,
Only pleasure inside my head,
Escaping from the dark that's cornered me,
My eyes are now too blind to see,
A slow death I do induce,
No happiness left to produce,
I've opened the door to nothingness,
Filled my mind with emptiness,
Wandered off into the black,
Don't ever want to come back,
Crawled through the void of time,
How could this be a...

Martyr for Nothing
Just fifteen, and already,
Trying to take his own life,
All alone, late at night,
Sticks the barrel in his mouth,
A lone tear falls,
Pulls the trigger,
And the brains blow all over the wall,
The next day,
They're all in tears,
How could he have done this?
Deep down they really cared,
Even if they didn't show it,
They say they were there,
That they cared,
But they never even looked his way,
Life is precious they say,
In a month, it's old news,
"Oh yeah, that kid who killed himself"
Not "That kid...

Speed Demon
When I fell from grace, I found a place,
Right in the heart of hell,
My halo broke, and my horns now choke,
When I inhale all that white,
My heart beats like a train,
And I feel the pain,
All the way down in my soul,
So happy, I'm so alive,
But dying on the inside,
I'm fast, flying free,
Making me, lose my dreams,
I'm a, speed demon,
Still dreaming, of the next time I'll ride,
On the devils hand, I pledge my soul,
To you, I give all control,
Seeing all those lines of white,
Feel the beast's bitter bite,
All the power, of the...

Story of a teen Addict
I never thought it would happen,
Only idiots gave in,
I never needed to worry,
About giving into sin,
All the signs were oh so clear,
But I didn't care,
I would never be be that one,
That would ever get that stare,
But then I was alone,
Suffering by myself,
Popped a few hydros,
And my world fell of the shelf,
Started doing more and more,
Till I expanded to the sky,
Snorting all the prozac,
Till I thought I'd die,
I got the what I thought rock bottom,
But it was only the start,
Of an eternal addiction,
Of the sea...

Oasis
My body is a desert,
Dry and untakeable,
My skin is the sky,
Clear and bright,
My feet are the earth,
Slow and painful,
My arms are the wind,
Weak and meaningless,
But through the searing heat,
Through raging storm,
Lies the oasis of my soul,
Deep and wide,
Cool and refreshing,
A light in the dark,
A flower in a meadow,
It feels me up inside,
And heals my wounds,
My soul is an oasis,
Deep and wide.

And heals my wounds,
My soul is an oasis,

Sacred Earth
From the mighty mountain to the delicate flower,
Enjoy the morning mist, the evening showers,
Where earth kisses the eternal sky,
That’s where I’ll be before I die,
Empty your thoughts into the lake,
Before this paradise is theirs to take,
Hold a stone within your grasp,
Something real to have at last,
Grip it till your knuckles are white,
Hold it up into the light,
Study the patterns, memorize the design,
Treasure it in your heart, before this earth resigns,
What kind of evil would steal this sacred earth,
It’s something of value, something...

Pacifier
Sneaking out to smoke all night,
smoldering leaves burning bright,
It seems like I'm trying to compensate,
For something I don't have to demonstrate,
Nicotine and tobacco leaves,
Smoking till my throat is dry,
Deep down my soul believes,
That I' way to old to cry,
But now I see it's all the same,
Same as sucking on a pacifier,
As a child I'd cry and suck,
As a man, I smoke and suck it up,
It looks different but it's not,
Still sucking to make the pain subdue,
But nothing changes nothing's new,
All I know is I'm still a child,...

Filling the Void
All my life I've searched for truth,
Always I have yearned for proof,
But all I felt was the eternal dark,
Never once heard the angels hark,
Eden's fruit never mine to taste,
To my end I felt so much haste,
Couldn't fill the void that captured my soul,
Couldn't shake the evil that took all control,
So many times I tried and failed,
All I wanted was for my mind to prevail,
If only once I could feel the light,
All I had ever known was the impressing night,
Drifting off in an eternal sleep,
My soul was Satan's, my body to keep,
Dark magic...

The Faceless
They wear a mask, but there is nothing to conceal,
They look down on me, they can’t reveal,
Unreal, expressionless, they walk among us,
No soul, but compensation is a must,
Plagued with a sickness, the only cure is death,
It spreads quickly; force it on the rest,
Judging a condescending, they live for one thing,
To enslave the earth, their message rings,
But we are real, we have faces,
No need for a mask, we have been places,
Our hearts heavy, our souls broken,
Our suffering goes deep; it is a drowning pool,
The faceless are shallow, barely...
