Close to the Edge...
Fear
used by many
to make many
Greed
used by many
to hurt many
Stupidity
used by many
to let many
close to the edge
down by the river
the sky is falling
Jesse James used a gun...

Love call for Rockstars:
Define
Confine
Enshrine
Then:
Dethrone
Disown
Bemoan
After ten years:
Exhume
Resume
Consume
Baby, you're gonna be ok.

like a glass
she breaks
emotionally
from his
rejection
like a
glass
thrown
up against
a wall.

She touched him
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck
She showed herself
She took him from her
She made him into a human wreck

The Most Unusual Hypnotist Act
Zachary stood naked in
front of everybody, stared
deep into the baby blue
eyes of Caroline and
made her strip down
and flash her body.

Broken Promises, Broken Mirrors
No reasoning here
You've demolished many hearts
Mirrors tell no lies

A Tragic Misfortune
The longest year,
sheds new light,
into the shade
onward into battle
the demigods inherit,
the new night,
into the light
forsake the liberation
promising to all
an ambush of deception
sheds new light,
into the shade
onward into battle
the demigods inherit,
the new night,
into the light
forsake the liberation
promising to all
an ambush of deception

You think you're in control, think again
People don't play games, games play people
Like someone once said to me,
"Whatever game you're playing is the game you're playing with you"

"Whatever game you're playing is the game you're playing with you"

Envious Pathos
Envious pathos haute tomorrow
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"
Fragile twilight regretful sorrows
Dreams from yesterday's cacoon
Insomnia's memories consumed
Death wandering in oyster shell
As voices whisper, "Farewell"
