Sacred fire
Sacred fire
A blessing and curse
Cut myself open
For all to see
Everone gazes in amazement
At the truth laid bare
While I'm laying mangled
Does anyone see me bleed?
The truth is...
That fire is always there
Burning inside...
Scorching it's way to the surface
If it doesn't come out in words
Destruction takes hold
When I can't find the words
Alcohol and pills are my new gold
A sick cycle
Merry go round goes round and round
Exhilarating for awhile
Then comes the haunting sound ...
A blessing and curse
Cut myself open
For all to see
Everone gazes in amazement
At the truth laid bare
While I'm laying mangled
Does anyone see me bleed?
The truth is...
That fire is always there
Burning inside...
Scorching it's way to the surface
If it doesn't come out in words
Destruction takes hold
When I can't find the words
Alcohol and pills are my new gold
A sick cycle
Merry go round goes round and round
Exhilarating for awhile
Then comes the haunting sound ...

Blind
My mind is a mystery
A maze I wander through
Sometimes it's a beautiful retreat
A bubbling mountain spring
Cool and refreshing
Smell of honeysuckle
So sweet
Sometimes my mind is lost
Shrouded in darkness
I stumble blindly
With no destination
Not knowing where to go
Or which way to turn
Just wanting to get away
But afraid to move
A maze I wander through
Sometimes it's a beautiful retreat
A bubbling mountain spring
Cool and refreshing
Smell of honeysuckle
So sweet
Sometimes my mind is lost
Shrouded in darkness
I stumble blindly
With no destination
Not knowing where to go
Or which way to turn
Just wanting to get away
But afraid to move

Disappearing man
I'm the disappearing man
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away
I can't be found when
Anyone else is around
I fade into the background
Don't bother looking for me
I don't want your attention
Don't speak, you wouldn't understand
You'd just give me
That uncomfortable glance
I tell myself to leave
I don't belong here
There's really not much to tell
I feel like I'm in hell
When I'm around everyone else
See the door
Noone will notice me leave
Don't stay, just walk away

Fragile
They've labeled me fragile
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain
Handle with care
A brown paper bag
That's easy to tear
Better tread lightly
Around my fractured mind
Sometimes it is harsh
And feels no need to be kind
Other times it's the saddest song
That you've ever heard
The closing refrain
Of my funeral dirge
But it can find sunshine
Through the pouring rain
It's what keeps me going
Despite all the pain

Locked inside
Sometimes I just want to be left alone
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell
Feel much better by myself
No other thoughts but being at home
Locked inside my cell
When my mind wanders
It's dangerous for me
It goes to the depths of my soul
The darkest place for it to be
Please, please don't leave me
I'm a danger to myself
Please, please help me
Get me out of my own hell

Smile again
Help me find my smile again
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry
The love I had for all my friends
The beauty in a newborn day
The warmth inside a sunlit ray
Help me clear my clouded mind
Corroded with the sands of time
Bring back the joy of childhood dreams
When everything was so serene
Help me find the old me
When I wasn't consumed by worry

Darkness
I walk in eternal dusk
A faint light reveals hope
Just beyond my reach
There's a lingering thought
Of complete and utter darkness
Reaching out to consume me...
At any moment
A faint light reveals hope
Just beyond my reach
There's a lingering thought
Of complete and utter darkness
Reaching out to consume me...
At any moment

Scars
Don't lose heart
You need it
No hesitation
Feel that burn
Against your skin
Make yourself feel
When nothing else will
A scar reminds
Of dark times
Burn the devil out
If he won't go
Run for the knife
And let the blood flow
You need it
No hesitation
Feel that burn
Against your skin
Make yourself feel
When nothing else will
A scar reminds
Of dark times
Burn the devil out
If he won't go
Run for the knife
And let the blood flow

Spiraling
That spiraling feeling
Still burns in my brain
Lock me in my closet
Make me feel my pain
The pain of a love lost
Right before my eyes
One minute it was there
The next it had died
The sadness didn't creep
It engulfed my every thought
Till I numbed myself with drink and pills
Until I got caught
I don't think things
Could get any worse
I'm starting to feel
Like I may have been cursed
Still burns in my brain
Lock me in my closet
Make me feel my pain
The pain of a love lost
Right before my eyes
One minute it was there
The next it had died
The sadness didn't creep
It engulfed my every thought
Till I numbed myself with drink and pills
Until I got caught
I don't think things
Could get any worse
I'm starting to feel
Like I may have been cursed

What if?
Your heart begins to race
And hands begin to sweat
Why are you scared?
Why are you sad?
Fear deceives
An unseen thief
What if this?
What if that?
Exhausting...
Just want to sleep
Sleep?
Maybe for awhile
Then it's something else
In the middle of the night
Wander the house
Like a ghost
A ghost of yourself
Confined to your cell
You've got the key
Somewhere in your mind
You keep looking
But it seems impossible to find
Better hurry...
And hands begin to sweat
Why are you scared?
Why are you sad?
Fear deceives
An unseen thief
What if this?
What if that?
Exhausting...
Just want to sleep
Sleep?
Maybe for awhile
Then it's something else
In the middle of the night
Wander the house
Like a ghost
A ghost of yourself
Confined to your cell
You've got the key
Somewhere in your mind
You keep looking
But it seems impossible to find
Better hurry...

Normal?
What is normal?
Who can tell me, please?
Why it's not normal
To be like me
Who's to say I'm crazy
If I'm true to myself
You're the one who's locked
In your self made cell
Is my mind really lost
Because it's not like yours?
Do you think it makes me
Rotten to the core?
If you don't understand
What I'm talking about
Maybe you're the one
With the bulbs burnt out
Who can tell me, please?
Why it's not normal
To be like me
Who's to say I'm crazy
If I'm true to myself
You're the one who's locked
In your self made cell
Is my mind really lost
Because it's not like yours?
Do you think it makes me
Rotten to the core?
If you don't understand
What I'm talking about
Maybe you're the one
With the bulbs burnt out

Time out
I need a time out
To get my head on straight
Time out
So I'll stop tempting fate
Time out
No time for me to wait
Time out
To get rid of all the hate...
For myself
I need some help
I've doused myself with gasoline
Strike a match and watch it gleam
Gonna cleanse myself cleaner than clean
Time is running out
Help me stay in the game
Before I pull myself out
To get my head on straight
Time out
So I'll stop tempting fate
Time out
No time for me to wait
Time out
To get rid of all the hate...
For myself
I need some help
I've doused myself with gasoline
Strike a match and watch it gleam
Gonna cleanse myself cleaner than clean
Time is running out
Help me stay in the game
Before I pull myself out
