What am I to you?
a wall at which you can throw weapons
well I won't take any more bullets
so you can get to steppin'
whenever you would screw up
I would always take the fall
I laid my life on the line
for you I busted my balls
I've done a lot of shit for you
and what do I get in return?
my skin is covered in flesh wounds
I've fallen victim to a nasty burn
you try to teach people
but they never fucking learn
talking sense into people
it never seems to work
my patience runs very thin putting me
on the verge of...

Karma Or Curse?
This war that I've been fighting
is it karma or is it a curse?
am I mentally insane?
can my life get any worse?
all hope for a cure is lost
I can't seem to find a nurse
it's like I'm battling cancer
soon I'll be riding in a hearse
it's really hard to tell the difference
when everything in life is a blur
sometimes things just need
to be shaken and not stirred
but there are times when things
don't add up or seem to concur
like a cat with extreme hunger pains
feel the gentle vibrations of my pur
Lord why don't you allure me

Freedom, Passion & Desire
I'm fighting for oxygen
because you took my breath away
hopefully my spirit is with you in the wind
blowing us far away
to a place of serenity and love
free of judgement and hate
I wanna be where you are
I wanna see what you see
I wanna feel what you feel
so take my hand and just come with me
And we'll escape to the valley of our dreams
to forget about the troubles of life's harsh realities
come out from behind the masks of our insecurities
we don't have to hide any more
we're better now than we've ever been before

Paying The Price
What was I getting myself into?
when I decided to go out with you
I guess I was desperate
and had lost all self control
had to investigate
because you were telling fibs
guess that explains your behavior
and why you were so secretive
I felt neglected and in my heart
you left a gaping hole
you better watch your back
'cause I'm on patrol
You've drowned me in a sea of debt
now I can't climb out
you've used me up
and maxed me out
I'm gonna sue your ass for theft
'cause it's only right
for your heartless acts of pleasure...

Beautiful Tragedy
She's a tortured soul
yet she hides it so well
her dying wish is to escape
not to hopelessly dwell
upon the edge of darkness
about to fall off of a cliff
hopefully an angel swoops in
and gives her a lift
I'm not a blind man
I can see the pain in her eyes
she flashes her beautiful smile
as a quick but clever disguise
she might one day be a misandrist
due to her hatred of guys
'cause they are all such fucking douchebags
and all they do is tell lies
this woman gives her all
but gets treated like ice
men want more than she...

Suicide Love
She runs toward the prize
but she's restrained by glass
tears well up in her eyes
with anger her heart crashed
the blood began to pour
there was nothing to protect the gashes
she felt like she was being ignored
and her spirit had burned to ashes
whenever she's not with her lover
she feels like she's on the back burner
you can't trick this woman
'cause she's a fast learner
the crazy bond that they have
is far too precious to sever
trying to separate these two
you'd have to be pretty clever
however she's not tied down...

Tell It To My Heart
You've been choked
by the cruel hands of darkness
patience is running out
the frustration can no longer be harnessed
tell it to my heart
tell it to my heart
You're at the point
of no return
about to break
you haven't learned
tell it to my heart
tell it to my heart
And I will never judge you
I'll be right here by your side
I hate to see you suffer
it just isn't right
I'll be your shoulder to lean on
throughout the night
it's okay everything will be alright
there's no need
for you to hide

Perfect Crime
Without a key
you picked the lock
to the door of my love
no you didn't knock
it was an awkward sign
that I knew you'd be mine
You stole my heart
without consent
you got away
didn't know where you went
this plan was well organized
took me until now to realize that
To you I was like
a diamond concealed in glass
to you I was just a dream of which
you window shopped as you passed
so you took drastic measures
'cause you were running out of time
without a doubt you've created
the perfect crime
Apparently...

Humans Vs. Machines 2: Insult To Injury
We're so sick and tired
of being verbally attacked
for demolishing innocent lives
you sure have a knack
you hate all of humanity with passion
and we all know that
to the dramatic changes taking place
we're very reluctant to adapt
because these devilish acts
are not meant to be taken lightly
so we have to keep our guards up
and hold onto our pride tightly
see we've been left with no choice
but to be cut throat and upfront
there's no way to hide it anymore
this will be your last stunt
bring all of your armor
'cause you suckers...

Humans Vs. Machines
This battle has gone on too long
but us humans are still standing strong
right up where we belong
unlike others we know right from wrong
it's like we're fighting machines
y'all don't have feelings or emotions
what do you want from us?
to be respected or to rot in erosion
nowadays everybody takes kindness for weakness
karma's a bitch sow things now in the future you'll reap this
we can already feel the paper cuts
from the cards that you've dealt
to our amazement it is
the most excruciating pain we've ever felt

PDA
All these signals and displays of affection
got my mind drawing a blank
handing me a blank canvas
now I gotta paint a picture
of the love that I've never had
when all else fails I can just
turn to my pen and pad
watching these people
is like watching television
certain images shatter your heart like glass
while tears start to blur your vision
I walk around with a smile on my face
trying to act like I'm not affected
even though I can feel the pain
from the poison of which I've been injected
I feel like mashed potatoes
reason why I...

Hallucinations Of A Ghostly Valentine
Yet another year has come of which I can't compare
once again I'm stuck without a valentine with no one left to spare
in a corner from across the room I just sit and stare
at all of the happy couples smooching everywhere
my soul is concealed I'm reluctant to bear any more
for fear of rejection and all other consequences in store
don't waste your time knocking 'cause the door to my heart is locked
don't stress yourself out talking you might panic and go into shock
unless some lucky lady finds the key I'll forever remain in solitude
maybe these women have...
