It's time to pay up.
He comes again demanding payment
Ha ha so you thought you lost me
These last few days
Thats just a little game I play
But now it's time it's time to pay
You may not have a good day
You may not have a smile
In your happiest moments
You shine brighter than the sun
This cannot be permitted
No it will not be allowed
You must swallow up darkness
you must put forth a frown
Ha ha so you thought you lost me
These last few days
Thats just a little game I play
But now it's time it's time to pay
You may not have a good day
You may not have a smile
In your happiest moments
You shine brighter than the sun
This cannot be permitted
No it will not be allowed
You must swallow up darkness
you must put forth a frown

Have you ever
Have you ever
opened your eyes
And wondered
"where did the time go?"
Wondered where the days went?
Please, give me a clue dear, and
Please tell me whats left here
How can we get back to what we had?
Have you ever
opened your eyes
and wondered when
things started to change so
And how we got here
Please give me a clue dear.
Please tell me whats left here.
How can we get back to what we had.
Have you ever
Opened your eyes and
Wondered what it was we did
And what it...

Our Darkness
You killed our light
and left us in an unfamilair darkness
The darkness spreads so far devising in heavy souls
Like the weight of a pile of 1000 broken hearts
Her soul afflicted dark and twisted
When sickness invades thoughts
I wonder will her sanity break?
Will mine?
We fall apart when no one is watching
Yet we smile when they come near
Yes We're so bubbly, full of cheer
Some searched out the truth
and you spit poisionous lies
You took them all away
And you turned them all against us
Just know that your evil deeds will bite...

Deceit
You can read my words and pick them apart
But you'll never truly know what fuels them.
I've been patiently at ease with your vow in silence
But I can wait no longer for the truth to arrive.
Through life, a lie is worth a thousand truths.
Still I wait, still I hope
With these emotions unplaced
And this confusion that threatens my peace
I've witnessed the tattooed ivy leaves as your tongue
lingers deceit
Your beautiful lips spitting out poisonous lies
I will myself away from this world that is yours
For my patience wears thin ...

Can I
Can I break out now?
My skin is burning
My heads about to burst
Hearts erratically thrashing.
Breathless barely breathing.
The weight is stifling
Crushing upon the heart
Crushing in but beating out.
Can I come apart now?
Afraid of what might happen?
I feel the shift
Its growing within once more.
Such torment to be caged
It's torture to fight the change.
Can you bless me with mercy's

Repulsive Reflections
An onrush of memories exist in my reflections
In his eyes is her repulsion
In ignorance or in denial
His insanity in proximity to her ability, fused
The bond, the lure
Swallowing his sadness and feeding his lunacy
Nourishing him in false happiness
Her soul grows darker, stronger yet
His soul heinous and caged
Was it her creation
Confusion then, acceptance now.
In her eyes, her sin, her repulsion
Her reflection
In his eyes is her repulsion
In ignorance or in denial
His insanity in proximity to her ability, fused
The bond, the lure
Swallowing his sadness and feeding his lunacy
Nourishing him in false happiness
Her soul grows darker, stronger yet
His soul heinous and caged
Was it her creation
Confusion then, acceptance now.
In her eyes, her sin, her repulsion
Her reflection

Grey among the colors
just a splatter of gray amongst the colors
in the crowd
just a little shadow caught up in the
ray of light
in the cheer of the voices
a little lost and displaced
she stares and she waits
concealing her discontent
with a smile

Why
Why does your absence hurt me so?
When you weren't ever really there.
Why does your silence hurt me so?
When all you spoke were lies.
Why do you visit my dreams?
When you broke all of mines.
Why do you consume my thoughts?
When you vanished me from yours.
Why did I let you touch my soul?
When I knew you would leave me broken.
When you weren't ever really there.
Why does your silence hurt me so?
When all you spoke were lies.
Why do you visit my dreams?
When you broke all of mines.
Why do you consume my thoughts?
When you vanished me from yours.
Why did I let you touch my soul?
When I knew you would leave me broken.

The Wind
There is a cold wind in the air tonight
Waking me from this daze
The moon's shining so bright
It lights the darkness in me
And emits theese electrifying sparks
That awaken something in me
The wind blows and the river ripples
Washing away the pain
The wind blows and the trees sway
Calming the demons within
I brace myself
For I almost forgot the world
I almost got lost in the wind
Waking me from this daze
The moon's shining so bright
It lights the darkness in me
And emits theese electrifying sparks
That awaken something in me
The wind blows and the river ripples
Washing away the pain
The wind blows and the trees sway
Calming the demons within
I brace myself
For I almost forgot the world
I almost got lost in the wind

Pretty lies
our yesterdays were full of pretty lies
for every smile an angel cried
I wonder how I wonder why
I dreamed you into my life.
turn back the days turn back the years
take back this curse take back your hold
once tied up in a pretty bow
but with one tug I've come undone
hatred surges through thees veins
and anger powers up the heart
a cannon set loose only for destruction
for every smile an angel cried
I wonder how I wonder why
I dreamed you into my life.
turn back the days turn back the years
take back this curse take back your hold
once tied up in a pretty bow
but with one tug I've come undone
hatred surges through thees veins
and anger powers up the heart
a cannon set loose only for destruction

Symmetrically born
Looking through the glass in awe
symmetrically born or symmetrically arranged
Another twisted game of fate.
A white flag perhaps or just the cycle that comes around and strikes.
Turn back the hands of time , walk an unknown path.
Force fate off track.
2 intricate souls symmetrically joined
symmetrically born or symmetrically arranged
Another twisted game of fate.
A white flag perhaps or just the cycle that comes around and strikes.
Turn back the hands of time , walk an unknown path.
Force fate off track.
2 intricate souls symmetrically joined

Like water overflows the glass
So do my thoughts overflow my mind.
The waves are so maddening when silence I seek.
Return to the universe all I've ever received.
Oh the resounding whispers that prisons this soul.
Forbidden to whisper a word to the wind
I can no longer hold on to all that I've seen.
Or erase all the faces and all that I know.
How long will I endure ,Will it ever cease?
Distinguishing truth in the memories of old.
Wandering drifting please ground me at home.
You can't stomach my thoughts
you can't hold on to these
for they...
