Water Maiden
She bathed
In the waves
Washed up on your shore
Hoping youd love her more and more
Still unsaved
Her watery grave;
She was always destined for
Kept her distance from loving you more
Last look
She stayed put
Easily her aching heart tore
Watching someone else love you more and more
In the waves
Washed up on your shore
Hoping youd love her more and more
Still unsaved
Her watery grave;
She was always destined for
Kept her distance from loving you more
Last look
She stayed put
Easily her aching heart tore
Watching someone else love you more and more

Little Red
You said come Little Red
Why didn't I listen to myself instead
It was I you broke
When I came out of my cloak
With a true honest blessing
I came to you uncertain, still guessing
Wounds blossoming like a rose
Skipping along, alone on my nervous toes
Caught in your ruby teeth
Nobody sees your wolves tirelessly stalking me
Drowning my thoughts with screams
I cut down your horrid, daunting trees
These woods go on forever
I never wanted this to go together
If I ripped your stomach open
Would your lies...

Nobody sees your wolves tirelessly stalking me
Drowning my thoughts with screams
I cut down your horrid, daunting trees

I never wanted this to go together
If I ripped your stomach open

Zombie
My flesh is decaying
But waste no time delaying
Filling myself up
Decomposing mind's stuck
Craving on one thing
Only moaning; can't scream
I've given up my control
That empty hole
I keep ravenously filling
Hearts I keep killing
Seeing I'm not really there
Disease doesnt care
My vain infection spreads
They see my dread
Guilt drips from wounds above
forgetting pleasure of
Gentleness, softness and love
Memories are swiftly fading
This obsession has me disintegrating
Your words...

The Darling Fox
Swirling in a sea of floral and daisy
Under the sun and clouds just lazy
Chatting with a delightful anthropomorphic fox
Adoring his coat, bow tie and little socks
The reflection on his glasses I do not mind
Just myself, my own beauty I suddenly do not mind
The fox bows in appreciation of my visit
We say our goodbyes, and suddenly I hear crickets
Chirping outside my windows
Rational darkness fills and flows
I cant help this feeling
Puncturing, carving, drinking; cravings I cant stop feeding
My reflection shows the ugly outside but I...

Pandora's Box
A black box sat in the dark
So alluring, my mind couldn't depart
The thought of all my dreams
Attainable, was it all it seems?
To be a pretty little thing
Is what I want to be
Opened, holding nothing but a mirror
Hungry but disgust is my barrier
To be a happy little thing
Is just what I want to be
The box opens; I see sparkling
Silver metal gleaming deadly at me
To be an adored little thing
Is what I really want to be
Taken care of by someone special
But trust lost I only see the devil
To be an unaware...

My Watercolor Tears
He put to my ear a shell
So I could hear what the ocean might tell
Not sure it was a siren's song
Or doubtful thoughts I held onto for too long
The ocean becomes quiet and deathly still
Then the shore reaches out giving me a chill
I felt the pulling from the unwanted
Feeling the hesitant living; they are the ones haunted
Not the ones that already drowned beneath
No tears from too many emotions, finally in peace
The dead dont feel the harsh breeze
In your shallow waters on the sharp reef
The kraken hides deep in my mind
Nobody...

Your Release
Your shadow veils over me
Concealing all I used to see
Your grasp curls like a vine of thorns
With my scarlet you sedately adorn
You collapse on me like a humiliated wave
I take it all in like always
You break and shatter like glass
I feel your shards and rage fall as you make it last
You pass on your regrets and mistakes
When you're through I stay still like a calm lake
But my sickly eyes stare into my mind
Still unsatisfied I let my metal grind
Paralyzed thoughts all night
Your release put me to such delight ...

On Bad Days
My sharp kiss
Put you in bliss
It aches again
So indulge in my sin
Let it begin
Clean your cherry skin
Conceal in vault
It's your own fault
Lost in thought
Emotions overwhelm a lot
Let me help
I'll make you melt
Then put away
For another bad day
Put you in bliss
It aches again
So indulge in my sin
Let it begin
Clean your cherry skin
Conceal in vault
It's your own fault
Lost in thought
Emotions overwhelm a lot
Let me help
I'll make you melt
Then put away
For another bad day

Dying Angel
Angel, why have you clipped your wings
And clothed yourself in shadows and dead dreams?
Your roses perished
Another's resplendency you could not cherish
Angel, were you afraid of my petals?
Was comparing your beauty to them too dreadful?
Have you been pondering too long at your iniquity?
Have you lost all your dignity?
Angel, your deathly eyes gaze so far away
Did He make the sky rain, did it feel like betray?
You have no wings now to hide under
Yet you try to sleep through His lightning and thunder
Angel, do the...

A Secret
Im a secret yet to be seen
Maybe the shadow flickering
Im a secret waiting to be found
Voice soft; barely a sound
Im a secret that wants to pass through your lips
The reason your dark soul rips
Im a secret low to the ground
Overlooked when they are around
Im a secret somewhat sad
Not too ugly or too bad
Im a secret you only know
But it's hidden deep and low
Im a secret that temps curiosity
But too demented quite possibly
Im a...

Medusa
Serpents hissing in my head telling me of what im not and what I am
Stuck in the middle of self pity and hatred i swam
Drowning me and reminding me I am not so innocent as the gentle lamb
You keep me from everyone like a shut up clam
Medusa, you've turned my life to rock and stone
You've made me addicted to losing every drop I own
Red strings from self infliction keep falling
But i cant help it I keep prolonging
Fixing this mess of constant suffering
Just holding back all my tears from your horrid whispering
Now...

A Masquerade of Sheep
Have you ever given yourself a face you've never really had?
Is deceiving ourselves really so bad?
From everyone I want to hide
Even to myself I've lied
We all want honesty but we all lie
Im not okay but I try
Doesn't matter who you're with
All of your words are a myth
Consumed in your fantasy
I never opened my eyes to see it was all make believe
We are all just part of a masquerade
We are all just too afraid
Are there wolves under your sheep's skin
I can hear your secrets and dreams howling from within
Our masks and disguise shield us...
