Peace thief
I've drowned myself in vapid tears
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears
Distinguish between friend and foe
I've seen the armageddon
With raging wars in the fading sunset
While protestors are setting
The tables for the final banquet
The will to rule is fading fast
Like the forces on the front lines
Knowing rules will not last
For those who have an abeld mind
It's a losing situation
No winner will emerge
We've joined together in creation
Of the curse of the purge ...
Decaying roots with no room to grow
Corroded with incessant fears
Distinguish between friend and foe
I've seen the armageddon

Like the forces on the front lines

For those who have an abeld mind

No winner will emerge
We've joined together in creation
Of the curse of the purge ...

AI The Flower Girl
I was telling someone the other day
As we looked over a pond in the local park
Appreciating the beauty of the water lillies
And the magical dragonflies
And i told her
That this reminded me
Of a setting in Frankenstein
Of a scene by a river
Where Frankenstein's monster
Meets a young girl
Who is totally unafraid of him
The monster
Seems to appreciate the nature around them
And when the girl throws a flower
Into the flowing river by them
The monster
Seeing the girl as another flower
Picks her up
And throws...

Another War
Another war,
It's been heard before.
Another war,
What's this one for?
Another war,
Hundreds dead, if not more.
Another war,
Weapons causing uproar.
Another war,
Shaking societies to the core.
Another war,
More commotion, more furore.
Another war?
Cease fire and be enemies no more.
It's been heard before.
Another war,

Another war,
Hundreds dead, if not more.
Another war,

Another war,

Another war,
More commotion, more furore.
Another war?
Cease fire and be enemies no more.

Never meant to be
Hiding in the shadow
Of the crucifixion cross
Grinding my teeth
At the thought of loss
Place your crown
Upon my head
I'll turn my back
And wait for death
So many voices
He couldn't control
But he was never one
To do as he was told
Fifteen minutes of fame
For fifteen lives
Noone would listen
So he felt he had the right
Don't look in the mirror
You won't like what you see
An angry lost child wasting away
Being what you were never meant to be
Of the crucifixion cross
Grinding my teeth
At the thought of loss
Place your crown
Upon my head
I'll turn my back
And wait for death
So many voices
He couldn't control
But he was never one
To do as he was told
Fifteen minutes of fame
For fifteen lives
Noone would listen
So he felt he had the right
Don't look in the mirror
You won't like what you see
An angry lost child wasting away
Being what you were never meant to be

The Future Looks Dark
You will drown in its ability to break
Take you down
Life will see
Just how much
You can take
To your soul, it will scar, like nothing ever before
Dying love can result in feeling numb to the core
I've been dead now for all these past years
Nothing changes
Same pain, same tears
Out of focus, being sober seems strange
Getting stoned barely helps me cope
With my life being rearranged
I can't stop the bleeding
But I'm not dead, just yet
If life has lost its meaning
Then ill find life in something...
Take you down
Life will see
Just how much
You can take
To your soul, it will scar, like nothing ever before
Dying love can result in feeling numb to the core
I've been dead now for all these past years
Nothing changes
Same pain, same tears
Out of focus, being sober seems strange
Getting stoned barely helps me cope
With my life being rearranged
I can't stop the bleeding
But I'm not dead, just yet
If life has lost its meaning
Then ill find life in something...

Ask Yourself
I was born to bleed
I was made for pain
I look back on my life, and it's all a shame
Going round and round
never slowing down
Took the smile from my face, all I do is frown
I feel so numb sometimes
Ask yourself, is this real life?
All I do is cry
cause she had to die
I look back all I have are more questions, why?
I don't have a heart, its been torn apart
Left me cold and alone, a good place to start
Start building walls so high
Ask yourself, is this real life?
I was born to shine
Now the...

Treasure
Break away
The shakes
The shakes
they take me
Away from the
spotlight for a fraction
Of the second and its
quite nice lighting
in that
hollowed out house that
we gutted when we wanted
something better and
Everybody's got one but
me
Couldn't have happened to a
better fucking person
so i guess it had to happen to me.
And we always change direction
Because we never fucking stop
And we always
close the curtain
on it
X marks the spot
But the...

Fair Loss
That tint to the alto,
A shrill call to
See a glowing pastel, piercing,
In the night,
The deathly colors of
Your dreams inside,
As your fabricated veil
Enforced me to
Forfeit the atmosphere of
My aura, in a muse of your purple haze.
The cloudy emanation,
About to burn out,
As a fallen star,
Takes me to your grave,
There's a melody and melancholy,
Decorating and dedicating roses
To the memory of your voice,
Seeking the attire of
Kings, queens, royal, gothic,
In remembrance of...
A shrill call to
See a glowing pastel, piercing,

Takes me to your grave,

Poor Tommy Was Found In The Master Bedroom
Poor Tommy was
found in the
master bedroom
crying after
hearing that
his parents
were both
killed by some
guy who was
drunk while
driving.

Dying
Got shot down in the afternoon
And I spent all night long
In that alley shortcut so close to home
Doing my dying
With a bullet iny leg
And two more in my guts
I know I did a lot of crying
But I never saw a light in a tunnel
And I never relived all my life
I just laid on that cold cold ground
In a puddle of piss and blood
And I remember all the pain
Eating at my brain
Driving me insane
As I lay dying
And yet I never saw the face of God
Or the family and friends who went before me
It was just a useless...

a dead butterfly on the windowsill
A dead butterfly on the windowsill
the child didn't believe when found it still.
it was still so pretty though lifeless and stiff
Many found it right to put it on a stick.
Plastic flowers atop the chest of drawers
its new permanent home this imitation tower.
a dead butterfly on the windowsill
A fatal mistake- it followed its will.

One Bullet Ended It All
It was Christmas Day and a horrible incident was about to unfold.
When it happened, I was only four years old.
It was Mom's last Christmas, she'd never have another.
I found my dad's gun and I shot and killed my mother.
When I found my dad's gun, I thought it was a toy.
I pulled the trigger and I learned that guns destroy.
When I shot my mother in the chest, she fell to the floor.
One bullet ended it all, she wasn't my mother anymore.
Dad should've kept his gun out of the reach of children but he did not.
I have severe emotional problems,...
