She Looked And Saw A Gun Aimed
Linda was getting herself ready.
She has been invited to Amanda's party.
Then, she heard a noise.
She Looked And saw a gun aimed.
Her dead corpse was found in Falmouth.

Existential Crisis
What happens
With these piles of paper
Once I meet
The Grim Reaper?

Broken
Within my flesh
My soul is torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow
My soul is torn
Lost in a day
Not for the strong
Broken
Dreams I can't follow
If I die forever
Everlasting sorrow

Imprisoned
When sorrow fills the void
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore
I torment those who I adore
An homage for the living lost
I cannot hide anymore

Titanic
In the deep we peacefully sleep
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died
Though our ship did swiftly sink
In frozen tides where icebergs lie
We felt little pain as we quietly died

I Looked In The Trees
I looked in the trees.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.
The panther gave a cold deadly stare.
It leaped itself towards me.

No Title.
So, I take my bones to a dirty grave,
Because maybe dying is better,
Then bleeding in a sweater.
Middle of the summer,
In this hot weather.
Because maybe dying is better,
Then bleeding in a sweater.
Middle of the summer,
In this hot weather.

Mommy, come look!!
Daddy pointed a gun at his face and fired it!
He won't get up
Mommy, he's funny looking, come look!!

No Title.
That little girl's rotting corpse,
Still moans in my bones,
And no amount of makeup,
Could make her pretty again.
Still moans in my bones,
And no amount of makeup,
Could make her pretty again.

Needles were never meant to pierce your skin.
My dear, you are not a doll.
Those needles can't sew you back together again.

"No! You're dead!" was what he said.
When he approached, she disappeared.
