In My Honest Hour
In my honest hour, I am a liar in the glass.
I'm chipped and shards of skin fall from my failed complexion.
Smooth skin has become rough to the touch.
Emerald pools filled with dirt.
My fingernails hurt from all the hard work.
My legs give out from all the self doubt.
Fingers no longer clutch because they are broken.
Lips sealed because they are unspoken.
All of these made me appear what you make me seem.
The outer shell I call my body crumples and shows the ghost inside.
There are cobwebs in the corners...

Show Them Through War.
This is a battleground.
So slather your war paint on.
Beat on those drums.
Let them know we'll come.
Raise your weapons to the sky.
Shout until sunrise.
Show them what you can do.
Show your pride dripping off the tongue.
Let them know we are an army of tons.
And we will fight until the darkness comes.
But for now we'll fight as the days go by.
Show them through war what we've grown to become.
So slather your war paint on.
Beat on those drums.
Let them know we'll come.
Raise your weapons to the sky.
Shout until sunrise.
Show them what you can do.
Show your pride dripping off the tongue.
Let them know we are an army of tons.
And we will fight until the darkness comes.
But for now we'll fight as the days go by.
Show them through war what we've grown to become.

Hunt for You
There's no where for you to go.
Not a crevice in the city is unknown.
There is only the forest of which the trees grow.
When I catch you, I'll bound you to the tree.
Strip off your clothes so that you may freeze.
You thought you could have gotten away with the crimes you've done.
But when big sister walks in on you hurting little brother then it's all done.
I will hunt for you day and night.
I don't care if I starve because homicide has become my main attraction.
Besides the sadistic smile when I burn your skin....

Gotta Let the Hate Out
I gotta let the hate out one way or another.
I've kept it bottled in for god knows how long and it’s overflowing above the rim.
So I take a swim in this familiar sensation that erases all relaxation.
Homicide is on my mind through these times.
I invite it like a guest that I've been expecting to come.
I’ll furnish the living room so that its free to move.
These sickening people don’t know what I can do.
I stay under control as long as I can.
But mother, I fear I’m gonna snap and turn into another...

We Cried
We cried because they made us look like scum.
We wept because they tore with words that we know not true.
We sobbed because they are among us and will do anything to destroy us.
Even their own.
We balled because we want it to stop.
The love turning hate that has consumed the youth through our very souls.
We scream because the words won't come out right.
We run when we can't fight.
We strike when we've had enough.
This godforsaken country has turned to mush.
Like our minds that were meant for brilliance...

The Devil and Me
I've been running through the forest with the devil at my feet.
He's been chasing me for days and I thought I could compete.
But he still runs with a smile on his face, swishing his tail back and forth while snatching bits of tears full of fear that I cannot stop.
A green ocean swallows me whole.
It swallows all the lies,all of my soul, the words that criticize my everyday life.
The forest welcomes me in but allows all those who howl to have bits of flesh from my being that used to be there.
There's barely any air that I can breathe...

Still Love You
Although we may not agree.
I will tell that I love you forevermore.
When they knock you down, I help you up.
Follow them home and beat them up.
When we fight, I'll disagree.
But I want you to know that I still love thee.
I will tell that I love you forevermore.
When they knock you down, I help you up.

Remember The Name
When the man in the black mask knocks down your door, you won't be seeing sunlight anymore.
He'll lock you in the cellar and watch you bleed.
Laugh everytime you feel the need to scream.
Tears trickle like water from sky.
He's beaten you so much that I can barely recongnize.
That snow skin has turned to ice.
Frozen and hard with not much of a sight.
Purple blotches on your stomach where he hit you hard.
Oh my darling, what has gone wrong?
Your eyes no longer see.
From the blindfold that didn't...
He'll lock you in the cellar and watch you bleed.
Laugh everytime you feel the need to scream.
Tears trickle like water from sky.
He's beaten you so much that I can barely recongnize.

Frozen and hard with not much of a sight.
Purple blotches on your stomach where he hit you hard.

When They Come
Yo ho!
Rattle me bones.
Snap them back and forth.
Lick the marrow that drips.
Suck the rest that stays inside.
Fear the monster in the halls.
Scream when the banshee calls.
Cry when they knock down your door.
Wreck the kitchen and storm down the stairs.
Catch the house on fire while children sleep.
Parents weep when they hear their calls.
You weren't aware of this beast at all.
Rattle me bones.
Snap them back and forth.
Lick the marrow that drips.
Suck the rest that stays inside.
Fear the monster in the halls.
Scream when the banshee calls.
Cry when they knock down your door.
Wreck the kitchen and storm down the stairs.
Catch the house on fire while children sleep.
Parents weep when they hear their calls.
You weren't aware of this beast at all.

Crack Can't Save You Now
Crack can't save you now.
Because you are dead.
I told you from time to time that those people are just going to leave you dead.
White powder blowing like snow.
Oh, you sicken me so.
Hands melted on the bong.
Oh, you are so very wrong.
You smell like whiskey when you try to kiss me on the lips.
Oh, no honey, you ain't getting any of this.
Lying on the carpet with your clothes on wrong.
Oh my lord, what have you been on?
Yellow teeth like golden sun.
Oh, you nasty, go chew on some mint...
Because you are dead.
I told you from time to time that those people are just going to leave you dead.
White powder blowing like snow.
Oh, you sicken me so.

Oh, no honey, you ain't getting any of this.

Captain Blue
This is a story of Captain Blue.
Captain's blues always made him turn into a fool that turned the tides within the mind.
He lost his crew under the deep blue sea during the storm raging aboard.
They were swept away by tides so high.
Rocking back and forth,under and over salty water that dried the throat.
Cracking so that whole words cannot escape.
Causing illusions under the heated sun that follows him every morning.
Making every reflection turn against us.
When Captain Blue turns away, he throws every stowaway over...

Inhaling Smoke
You will find him in the alleyway smoking a cheap cigarette with a smile on his face.
Inhaling smoke that tastes bitter but reminds him of his little girl when she would try to trap the smoke in her hands.
He would smoke while in the garage, working on his oldest bike.
Reminding him of when he would take his little girl out for a ride with the loud roar at her will.
Inhaling smoke when the wind whipped it in her face, she'd cough a few times but say that it was all okay.
Puffing rings from cigars was her favorite trick, so he did it when they sat...
