Someone that I loved once
Spoke those words to me
Someone who I loved once
That made me so feel free
A someone who's someone
I'd wished that I could be
Its taxing to push onward
As you can clearly see
When all that you can say
Is what she once spoke to me

I’m no mister perfect
And I’ll never be a saint
I’m not that special dream guy
Can’t inspire hearts to paint

If I live to be a hundred
My story won’t be told
And no matter how I try
My hearts not made of gold

But what I’ve left unsaid
I refuse to take a knee
I won’t die before I’m dead

I’ve been used been thrown away
Been hurt and left behind
Left forgotten and deserted
But to me
These memories remind

Of what I’ve finally said
I’ll never fly that white flag
I won’t die before I’m dead

Sanity’s...

My words and deeds now written
Age old pages won't forget them
Ink to paper my soul rides the pen
The sinister voice inside
It seems he's at it again
Coaxing my doubts to come out and play
This monster within
He mocks me from behind my eyes
The mirror shatters smiling lies
A darkness released but hidden all the same
Two steps forward
Heart turns black
Now I fear I can't go back
Murmured voices from a better time
Smiles and joy
A sun that shines
I search in the mist as I hear them call
The seasons shift
But I'm still...

Those words of hate
Sent out to harm
Set cold steel
Upon my arm

My crimson tears
Sink to the dust
A silent scream
From razor's lust

My cutterfly with fragile wings
Safeguard my skin from darker things
Butterfly as written down
In blacks and blues
In greens and browns
But never red
No not again just cutterflies to mark my skin

Worlds of pain
Won't do me in
As my precious ones
Come swarming in

Oh, butterfly
Dream peaceful things
And whisper them
While cold steel sings

Don't let...
