Release
You may be confused,
But that is okay,
Don't think what you're doing,
And do it anyway,
Cos it doesn't matter what you do,
It doesn't matter what I say,
Doesnt matter if we're gonna find an ending to this day,
Doesnt matter how much sleep I fail to get tonight,
I need to release myself into this lonely night.
Release me
Release me into the darkness
Cos im just a burden
On your endless plight
Fight me,
And push away my light,
Release me to the darkness,
And I will be alright.
Release my stupid...
But that is okay,
Don't think what you're doing,
And do it anyway,
Cos it doesn't matter what you do,
It doesn't matter what I say,
Doesnt matter if we're gonna find an ending to this day,
Doesnt matter how much sleep I fail to get tonight,
I need to release myself into this lonely night.
Release me
Release me into the darkness
Cos im just a burden
On your endless plight
Fight me,
And push away my light,
Release me to the darkness,
And I will be alright.

Echo District
Thoughts in my mind,
swimming freely all the time,
And they're not always kind,
Just fragments of my mind,
I know that there is nothing,
I haven't already said,
But even when I'm dead,
You'll still be in my head...
This is the one last time
Youll ever hear me say
I wanna make it work this time
Put it all on the line,
And if we walk through Echo District,
We'll hear something different this time,
It doesn't matter what was said before,
It'll be said no more...
And if we walk through Echo...
swimming freely all the time,
And they're not always kind,
Just fragments of my mind,
I know that there is nothing,
I haven't already said,
But even when I'm dead,
You'll still be in my head...
This is the one last time
Youll ever hear me say
I wanna make it work this time
Put it all on the line,
And if we walk through Echo District,
We'll hear something different this time,
It doesn't matter what was said before,
It'll be said no more...
And if we walk through Echo...

Slowing Down
When's it gonna be my turn?
When can I slow this run?
When will I finally feel the heat of the sun?
Its cold and lonely over here,
The darkest place is the place you face alone.
I'm slowing down.
Its not jealousy,
Cos it's not like I want you,
To lose your way,
Its not hatred or anger,
Its the morbidness of the unchanged,
Working its way into my head,
Drowning me until I'm dead,
Am I not worthy of the sun,
To shine on me and all I've done?
I'm slowing down.
Maybe it'll fall into place,
But is...
When can I slow this run?
When will I finally feel the heat of the sun?
Its cold and lonely over here,
The darkest place is the place you face alone.
I'm slowing down.
Its not jealousy,
Cos it's not like I want you,
To lose your way,
Its not hatred or anger,
Its the morbidness of the unchanged,
Working its way into my head,
Drowning me until I'm dead,
Am I not worthy of the sun,
To shine on me and all I've done?

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Confrontation
Our worst enemies
are staring right at us
through the mirror
Our fight is fierce
but we only manage
to hurt ourselves
Finding freedom
Finding harmony
Finding the answer
to what we call peace
It's not a good idea
to try and make a change
because a declaration of war
never brings solace
just death and pain and corpses
Figuratively speaking
How do you slay the beast?
You don't.
You can only prevent it from being born.

If You're Happy
I found love
I found this
I found us
I found every day we shared
I found every fight we had
I found every night you cried
I found every moment spent
Telling you I was in love
And finding out that you were too
I found it all
I found my friend
My friend for life
Right til the end
But it only really matters if you're happy.
I lost trust,
I lost fight,
I lost every ounce of light,
Then I wandered in the dark,
Looking for our stolen spark,
Cos it only really matters if you're happy.
...

The Sky Burns Red
When you reach the end of the road,
and you just don't have it in you,
anymore.
When you've fought til the very end,
and you just don't want to fight,
anymore.
You will always be OK,
I'll push you every step of the way,
cos I'm not here to watch you fall,
and I won't let you lose it all.
The sky burns red, cries black and sings blue,
but I will always carry you,
and if the sky decides to fall,
I'll hold you up above it all.
Don't fight for me, I can fight my own,
Don't fight for them, they're not alone,
Fight...
and you just don't have it in you,
anymore.
When you've fought til the very end,
and you just don't want to fight,
anymore.
You will always be OK,
I'll push you every step of the way,

and I won't let you lose it all.
The sky burns red, cries black and sings blue,
but I will always carry you,
and if the sky decides to fall,
I'll hold you up above it all.
Don't fight for me, I can fight my own,
Don't fight for them, they're not alone,
Fight...

Standing At My Station
I'm gonna find another place,
where hatred is a myth,
somewhere with no lies or hurt,
there's gotta be more than this.
Cos I truly believe that you must really hate,
to treat someone this way,
and quite frankly I don't think I rate,
that kind of hate any way.
Sick of feeling down and out,
sick of being kicked,
sick of being spat at,
sick of being picked,
as the victim in this crazy game,
that we call life,
sick of feeling like a pawn,
sick of you twisting the knife.
And don't get me wrong,
I'm...

Proposition
Propositions,
positions,
losing our place on the map,
of sanity,
for surely we must be crazy,
if we want to do this,
my mind is hazy,
but somehow this seems clear,
that I always want you near,
so this decision,
proposition,
position,
where do I go?
what do I do?
I know what to do.
I'll do it for you.

Deja Vu
You have a different name,
different style, different game,
you have a different type of look,
a different cover on your book,
different type of hair and eyes,
different type of truth and lies,
yet here I am,
overwhelmed,
by this familiar bittersweet feeling,
of being in love and being heartbroken,
at the same time,
it seems you're just like her,
you're my Deja Vu,
thought there was only one girl who,
would treat me like the biggest fool,
but it seems instead I've found another,
dealing a pain I just can't...

Dear the girl that I love
Dear the girl who I love,
but can never truly love,
I must leave you today,
to stop all the pain,
and not just the pain that I caused you,
but also the pain that you caused me,
and let's be honest, we've been through a lot,
I'm not really quite sure what to jot,
I just wanted to say that I don't hate you,
I just hate the way we've ended up,
and with any luck,
we will both learn from this,
and won't give up.
Maybe I'll see you again one day,
and maybe, just maybe, I'll come and say hey.
Goodbye.

Please Stop It
Ignored, disregarded,
forgotten about like an old ally,
cos I am no longer a part,
of your daily routine.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm fine with that,
hell, everyone knows,
I got tired of that,
I got tired of being treated,
like a doormat.
But you still stalk my dreams,
and you still plague my thoughts,
Please Stop It.
And in essence of our departure,
you should find it in your heart,
to leave mine alone,
and save me the trouble,
of thinking about you all over again.
Cos you still stalk my dreams,
and...
forgotten about like an old ally,
cos I am no longer a part,
of your daily routine.
Don't get me wrong,
I'm fine with that,
hell, everyone knows,
I got tired of that,
I got tired of being treated,
like a doormat.
But you still stalk my dreams,
and you still plague my thoughts,
Please Stop It.
And in essence of our departure,

to leave mine alone,
