Born with nothing
Bring in your gods
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die

Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true

The Silence of Regret
My pain learned not to forget
Even though I have
I’ve stumbled
I’ve fallen
All my bruises are deep-rooted in despair
What will become of me?
Every expectation
Has become an exercise in futility
Nihility
Will I become a victim of obscurity?
I don’t remember the sound of my own laughter
I look for her in corners and shadows
Her presence fading, unfelt
Exhaustion attempts to befriend me
Stealing precious moments
He’s been present for far too long
Torn between...
Even though I have
I’ve stumbled
I’ve fallen
All my bruises are deep-rooted in despair

Will I become a victim of obscurity?

I look for her in corners and shadows
Her presence fading, unfelt

melancholy malady
the melody plays quietly within my heart
the malady love
pure and deep
dark to the touch
with heady inflections
delicate but powerful
a romance, to make time stand stil
quietly taking a gasp and exhaling sorrow
it seems too much
the passion overwhelming
if it were to fall apart, I would with it
so much a part of who I am is interlaced with your soul
intricately fated to be one
my life balancing precariously on the precpice
if we are to fall, we fall together
into the abyss where...

When we cry alone
There's those things that we just can't explain what it means, to have a peaceful life. YET how and why and what we find ourselves, involved in trying in creating that kind of a mental atmosphere, of peace and tranquility. Yet we find out what it will affect in trying to attempt, to learn how can we find that someone, who wants the same things for their own life. But yet in today's society some love, is not what it's suppose to be, if they are not willing to create a vision to see the true beauty of the dreams. THAT could be with someone who believes, in the beauty of their own personal...

Show
(S)miles of fun
It's all a show
Away, the sadness
No one knows
Watching him
You wouldn't guess
Playing the clown
Leaves him anxious

I know some of your secrets
I know enough
Maybe I’d like a few more
Perhaps not
I’m greedy
Not stupid
The fringe is paradise
Cold mornings
Despair in personal heat
You control my lust
Thermometer shatters
Mercury poisoning
Mercy ….

In the land of freedom
you're free to live or,
even better, leave or let
yourself be sent away.
Better not let yourself be bold.
Better not let yourself be cold.
Better not let yourself be in the fold.
Believe in yourself in being gold.
Better not let yourself be in hold.
Better not let yourself set in as mold.
Better not let yourself be sold.
Don't...
Believe what you've always been told.

Insignificance
Oblivion is sounding good right now.
I have no good will left for appeal
and only faith in reason anyhow
as it does so much more than zeal,
though zeal gets all of the accolades
because we love a vivacious tale,
games, or cinema, with bullets and blades
when suburban life has gotten stale.
Too drab are the axes X, Y, and Z
unless by artillery to explode
any and all forms of an enemy
well within the range of targeting mode.
And that mode will not recognize zeal

Forgetting
Whyd you leave me
In such dispair
Im so sad that im angry
You make me want to pull out my hair
Each morning i cry
Every night i wanna die
I cant help it
When im so alone
I really wish youd pack up
And come back home
Every minute i spare
From my work
Or self care
Just to cry over you
A little bit
And i wish youd run away
You can leave any day
Just to help me
To forget
In such dispair
Im so sad that im angry
You make me want to pull out my hair
Each morning i cry
Every night i wanna die
I cant help it
When im so alone
I really wish youd pack up
And come back home
Every minute i spare
From my work
Or self care
Just to cry over you
A little bit
And i wish youd run away
You can leave any day
Just to help me
To forget

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Cold
There are barren worlds where no joy dares to exist.
A mental planet with a void for sun, the light is listless.
Eternal winter snowed upon the corroded cartilage
in my bones.
A carcass of happiness lies shivering on broken stones.
Blood.
Runs.
Ice.
Cold.
To say I'm dead would be so bold.
Pink fire grazes the horizon behind the evergreens.
Somehow a fuschia twilight is magically seen.
This electric mauve light vanishes into the belly of the night.
Blood.
Runs.
Ice.
Cold.
