I don't need salt to know where it hurts
For my confession I don't need a church,
I don't need salt to know where it hurts.
I know clearly the pain of watching you love someone else,
As our love fades away like grains of salt.
In the silence, my heart finds its speech,
In the echoes of what we can't reach.
The shadow of your smile, once bright and close,
Now a whisper, a memory, an eternal ghost.
In the twilight of our past,
I feel you fade away,
Our memories becoming a longing pain,
I don't need salt to know where it hurts.
As dusk claims the day, our...
I don't need salt to know where it hurts.
I know clearly the pain of watching you love someone else,
As our love fades away like grains of salt.
In the silence, my heart finds its speech,
In the echoes of what we can't reach.
The shadow of your smile, once bright and close,
Now a whisper, a memory, an eternal ghost.
In the twilight of our past,
I feel you fade away,
Our memories becoming a longing pain,
I don't need salt to know where it hurts.

Line them up against the wall
Line them up against the wall
No time for a rebellion
Only the strong to conquer them all
And rule with an iron fist
But what if the weak refuse to fall
And rise up with a passion
What if they fight the tyrant's thrall
And fight for their freedom
The strong will line then up against the wall
The strong leave no room for weakness.
They conquer and oppress.
They will give them religion.
A savior with the face of their oppressors
Freedom that teaches them obedience.
They will give them peace,...
No time for a rebellion
Only the strong to conquer them all
And rule with an iron fist
But what if the weak refuse to fall
And rise up with a passion
What if they fight the tyrant's thrall
And fight for their freedom
The strong will line then up against the wall
The strong leave no room for weakness.
They conquer and oppress.
They will give them religion.
A savior with the face of their oppressors
Freedom that teaches them obedience.
They will give them peace,...

What is sin doing among you?
If you belief what is sin doing among you?
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?
how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?
with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow...
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?
how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?
with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow...

Fear is GOD
Ants think grasshopper to be numen
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear
Grasshopper thinks bird to be demiurge.
Rat think snake to be divinity
Snake think eagle to be celestial.
Fish think shark to be titan
Shark think orcas to be icon.
Lamb thinks lion to be daemon
Lion think man to be immortal.
And man think emptiness to be God
Get it now?
There's no God, only that which we fear

Poeting tragedy
I wish before you could judge
You knew my pain.
That the way I am
It wasn't really my choice
It's how I'm forced to react to the world.
I'm strange.
and that's okay
If you might not understand me
But I wish you knew my pain before you could judge me.
I'm depressed,
I'm anxious
And sometimes I do think my life would be better if I'm dead.
I carry pain
I carry hurt
And carry anger
It's not who I wanted to be,
But that's how my crucible of life made me be.
I wish you knew the weight I'm...
You knew my pain.
That the way I am
It wasn't really my choice
It's how I'm forced to react to the world.
I'm strange.
and that's okay
If you might not understand me
But I wish you knew my pain before you could judge me.

And sometimes I do think my life would be better if I'm dead.

I carry hurt
And carry anger

The problem
I sat there in the corner
And I watched her mingle with friends
She was happy.
I sat there for hours and she never said a thing to me
And when we got home.
She said "for a second there, I had forgotten about my problems"
And I watched her mingle with friends
She was happy.
I sat there for hours and she never said a thing to me
And when we got home.
She said "for a second there, I had forgotten about my problems"

Finding happiness
I made a mistake
Of thinking my success will be measured by the beautiful house I have, the fast car I own or how much I have
NOT ABOUT HOW HAPPY I AM

I'm a man with very few fears
I'm a man with very few fears.
Fruitless labour, loveless relationships,
And worthless poetry.
I fear, this is all of them.
It's been the longest year
And I've just scraped through half way there.
I have given it my all and somehow it's another barren year.
I've had sleepless nights, endless fights in my head
And I still see no clear path to where I'm going.
I thought I've found the one but she came with t's and C's
I could have bought her the world and a diamond ring.
Maybe that it's just me.
But I'm laying and she's...

From the tragedy in me
I've learnt to find peace

Death. You and I can never be even.
Truth be told, I've played this card for far too long
I've written this poem one too many times
But each and every time I never seem to get it right
So here I'm writing it one more time.
Even if I took everything from you
Like you took from me
It'll never be enough,
Death. You and I can never be even.
You left a scar that never heals
Cut so deep my soul forever bleeds.
How could you have taken the one I need?.
Is this your way, to take as you please?
She was quite a beautiful soul, truth...

Weight of choice, fear of regret.
She said. "Can I stop taking prevention?"
....I don't know hey!...
All I know is I do love her,
And I want to say yes to everything she asks of me.
....I don't know hey!...
