In my defense
Though in my defense
I say no promise is ever kept
But I'm reality my circle of lies is starting to close in on me
I've made one too many promises I fail to keep
I've said one too many lies, it's now hard to tell which excuse is real
Though in my defense
I say I'm human I make mistakes
But in reality my mistakes start to seem intentional
Because I keep making one after another
Because I know I'm sorry and all will be forgiven
Though in my defense
I scream loud as a rock star saying I'm not perfect
But in reality I've just taken...
I say no promise is ever kept

I say I'm human I make mistakes
But in reality my mistakes start to seem intentional

Because I know I'm sorry and all will be forgiven
Though in my defense
I scream loud as a rock star saying I'm not perfect
But in reality I've just taken...

Round and round we go
Planned for forever with someone in mind
Only to find that person has someone more significant in theirs live
Been chasing forever for someone that's right
Only to find that person is chasing after someone perfect to suit their life
Been chasing for that perfect person for so long I don’t think I still know what I want
Cause no in this world fits the description of perfect that I have in mind
7 billion people yet we're all alone
to the same disease, I think we're prone
The nearest people around us we don't see
For we've set our sight's beyond...

Beaten? So am i
Dishonored and taken for granted. So have I
Count everyone who's hurt you and plan vengeance on them. So will I
Tried to fake a smile
But you're hurting deep inside
Tried selling your soul. The devil just wouldn't buy
Prayed that your enemies will suffer to the hands of time
You're revelation shows no light
Tried to take your life
But your hatred and vengeance has turned you blind
You have nothing to call your own
Loneliness has made your mine
A soul once so kind
Find it hard to fake a smile
A powerful hand...

Do we feel safe?
Behind clinched fists
Behind machine guns
Behind nuclear weapons
Behind chemical weapons
Behind high walls
Behind twisted tongues and deceitful minds
Do we feel safe?
Is eye for an eye a law?
Is violence a our last resort?
Is our strength a weapon against the weak?
Is violence the limit of our reasoning?
When we instill pain and fear
Do we feel safe?
Are we born to be on opposing sides?
Cause we're always ready to put bodies on the firing line
It seems peace can only be attained when somebody dies
For we...

Art of misery 5
The stars streched for miles
The sun shinned right through the stars
The bright rays kissed the sky
And the warmth touched the Earth
Me and my twin brother we slayed dragons
We were legendary, we were heroes
Our imagination would fly us beyond the skies
We were the greatest of all time in our own rights
He was my very best friend, i could have never asked for anything better in this life
I was 17 and lost all my endeavors and dreams
Woke up one morning, ready to wear my cape to fly to the sun
I tried to wake him up, called his...

Another Friday night
Another Friday night
The sky has come alive
Music and dance under the tavern lights
Beautiful and intoxicated eyes full of life
A single night, away from my life
I'll spend all my money tonight
I'll face tomorrow as it comes but for now I'm happy to be alive
I've got my beer goggles on
Dance until I drop
And you pretty little miss turn me on
There's joy and happiness at the bottom of this bottle
I'll swim until I hit the bottom
Dj don't stop, we don't wanna go home
The night is young, don't let it grow old
What more do I...

Hush now don't you cry
Hush now don't you cry
Causalties are a thing of war
Side by side we'll fight
Our enemies stand strong across the line
Both parties believe they're right
Wiseman send young man do fight their fights
This is war
Hush now don't you cry
You and I we'll die
Causalties are a thing of war
Spare your tears they bare no help
Think only of your gun, yourself and nothing else
Save your prayers they won't save you from your death
Black roses and hail maries are on their way
Sweet Sounds of machine guns will swiftly sweep...

just a ghost
She's sitting on a bench from across the street
Counting every face that's passing by
Tick-tock every second she's glancing at her watch
Every single day sitting on a bench from across the street looking at the birds in the sky
She's Waiting on a strangers hello
She's waiting on someone to share the smile
For the rest of her life she's waiting on someone to break the ice
People come and go
Friendly faces heading back home
She's slowly losing hope
She's waiting for someone to take her hand and take her home
But No one notices...

For the rest of her life she's waiting on someone to break the ice

The cunning Lion
A lion of the mightiest paws
Before it snapped it's jaws it took a pause
And gazed at the sun
It wondered what if this meal is someone else son
A swift wind blew
And a sound of thunder from the sky so blue
Then out of nowhere jumped a hare
And fell on the son hair
It was as beautiful as a flower
And just as pure white as flour
The lions legs went weak
As it hasn't eaten for a full solid week
Oh dear
The sound of the voice a deer
Standing on the other side of the road
It said this a good story to be wrote...
