Unreality
In every way
You killed me dead
every day,
those things you said,
cloud my vision
'til I see red.
So I
BREAK from
the futility.
SNAKE
you lied to me.
BENT out
of shape for you.
You don't know what
you put me through.
Manipulate
my heart so much,
but you are only
the perfect slut.
You killed me dead

Power of Death
Love's battered ruins in the shadow of unrelenting perpetuity.
Life gazes upon it, in disgust, of it's own creation.
The cries of it's damned constituents.
Screaming a lament from within a collective soul.
A soul gripped by the icy tendrils of shattered hearts.
And they march, ceaselessly, to a demise inevitable.
They pitch over into a chasm as sheer in darkness as in height,
An abyss they can't see until that final step over the edge of sanity
Because their view was only of the mountain they had to climb,
On hands and knees to the very top.
There they...

For My Friends
Sometimes I cry in the dead of the night.
I'd rather die than lose this fight.
I fashioned a raft from broken dreams.
I float up the creek just to drown in my sleep.
So I can't help but ask why I'm always last?
But I really couldn't ask for better friends,
When breaking my heart is the task at hand.
I feel alone, when they don't listen.
I feel walled off when they don't care.
I feel so much because of them.
I feel it all because they aren't there.
I need them most in the times
When nothing's going right,
I beg for their love when I...

Dreams Die
The air rushes by your ears
You hear the explosions
The screams grind like gears
You can't take the commotion.
Your eyes fly open.
The tension builds as you adjust to the dark,
You're in a cold sweat, the only sound-
The thud of a hollow heart.
Your feet hit the ground,
Hands over your face.
You get up for the fridge, for another taste,
Of the bottle of Irish Rose you've had for days.
It's the only thing you consume anymore,
Your reason for keeping down the knife..
No one ever walked in to...
You hear the explosions
The screams grind like gears
You can't take the commotion.
Your eyes fly open.
The tension builds as you adjust to the dark,
You're in a cold sweat, the only sound-
The thud of a hollow heart.
Your feet hit the ground,
Hands over your face.
You get up for the fridge, for another taste,
Of the bottle of Irish Rose you've had for days.
It's the only thing you consume anymore,
Your reason for keeping down the knife..

Isolated
My inbox is empty
The phone never rings
No knocks on my door
No letters for me
7 days a week
Spent in solitude
My heart beats weaker
With each lonely moon
And where are you?
My many friends
Do you feel my pain?
Do you understand?
You don't.
You can't.
You never will.
So how can you judge
My desire to kill?
The phone never rings
No knocks on my door
No letters for me
7 days a week
Spent in solitude
My heart beats weaker
With each lonely moon
And where are you?
My many friends
Do you feel my pain?
Do you understand?
You don't.
You can't.
You never will.
So how can you judge
My desire to kill?

Survival
Walk on the wilder side,
It's the jungle of life.
They know you're top dog,
But the lions still bite.
You may hold a blade,
But these trees won't fall.
So hack it to a glade,
they'll grow back just as tall.
And try as you might,
to keep it akindle,
In the cold dark night,
Your fire will dwindle.
Now daylight trickles,
Over the sweet, shiny dew,
That dampens your figure,
As it's divided by wolves.
It's the jungle of life.
They know you're top dog,
But the lions still bite.
You may hold a blade,
But these trees won't fall.
So hack it to a glade,
they'll grow back just as tall.
And try as you might,
to keep it akindle,
In the cold dark night,
Your fire will dwindle.
Now daylight trickles,
Over the sweet, shiny dew,
That dampens your figure,
As it's divided by wolves.

Ally
Damn it all.
For what you are.
You let me fall,
From the stars.
You dragged my heart,
Straight through fire.
But my lips wouldn't part,
To call you a liar.
And when you sang,
Your sweet tune,
When the phone rang,
No sound came through.
No I love yous,
Just goodbyes.
I was such a fool,
To believe your lies.
For what you are.
You let me fall,
From the stars.
You dragged my heart,
Straight through fire.
But my lips wouldn't part,
To call you a liar.
And when you sang,
Your sweet tune,
When the phone rang,
No sound came through.
No I love yous,
Just goodbyes.
I was such a fool,
To believe your lies.

Escape
Slipping from my chains, I hit the floor.
I burst into the hall and lose my way.
I scan the corridor and break the door.
And see white suits with guns and rays.
They ease closer, calm in fact.
They know that I'm closed off.
There's an elevator- in the back,
I'll never make it that far.
I back up to the door, but it's already locked.
I look for another way out, there's one.
I'm just one man, this battle can't be fought.
So I leap through the window in the front.
I cut myself on the jagged glass,
But...
I burst into the hall and lose my way.

Us
I know we're alone, but I strung up the curtains.
They surround my bed and the darkness hides,
Our carnal adventures and explorations,
And when we're done there are tears in our eyes.
I look at you, and you at I.
It was so much fun to go at it like that.
In this moment I could happily die,
My heart filled with your love and intact.
I put an arm around you, and pull you to me.
As our bodies press you nuzzle my neck,
In this moment of innocence after the deed,
Neither of us minds being covered in sweat.
Letting go of the other...
They surround my bed and the darkness hides,
Our carnal adventures and explorations,
And when we're done there are tears in our eyes.
I look at you, and you at I.

Bullets
One bullet exits, straight for me-
I didn't deserve that busted knee.
The second one only grazes by-
I just barely kept my eye.
The third one strikes home, right in the heart-
Well.. maybe it didnt quite hit the mark.
The fourth shot is nearly fatal-
But landed right above my naval.
I see the gun raised, blood in my eyes,
Another muzzle flash, but somebody heard my cries!
The sixth shot rings, and I know it's done.
When the man came down with a heavy thud.
And now I'm waiting for emergency stitching,
Trying...

Heart
The heat is high in the desert skies, I want to close my bloodshot eyes.
I had stared him down and sized him up, told myself 'he ain't so tough.'
But he matched my strength blow for blow, and as quick as I am, he wasn't so slow.
But I dare not unsheathe my sword, I only use it as a last resort.
There's no way I can afford to rest,
with one wrong step between me & death.
He's in front of me now- to move so fast! I fall back, startled, and hear a splash.
I sink below the ocean surface, my vision too blurred to try and focus.
I close my...

You and I
You're going to die, young and alone.
So be it, who'll miss me when I'm gone?
You've forsaken all moral standards.
Any kindness is wasted on these bastards.
Who are you when it's dark outside?
What are you to judge my life?
What right have you to tell me I'm wrong? I want the same thing as anyone.
You lie to yourself expertly,
you hide behind a veil of sheets,
black as you wish you could make your heart, but that's not who you really are.
You assume you know me so damn well, but you and I are going to Hell.
I...
