Cherish
Love never left us
It is still wondering
In our hearts
If you love something
Let it be
Let it be
Thou shall not pity
be enraged with the anger and/or jealous
That is not the way to be
Love something and set it free
Cherish those who are of your importance
Do not neglect them
Cherish them because they make you stronger
It is still wondering
In our hearts
If you love something
Let it be
Let it be
Thou shall not pity
be enraged with the anger and/or jealous
That is not the way to be
Love something and set it free
Cherish those who are of your importance
Do not neglect them
Cherish them because they make you stronger

Deceit
Lead on for far too long
This pain is glued on
My passionate soul has rotted away
Dealt with this frustration
Longer then needed
Deceived by your selfishness
I held on to you for far too long
Just to be repulsed by your innocence
Now I live with this deceit
Now I live with this pain
My pain is now wasted
on this burden you brought upon me
My times is wasted
On your life of foolishness
This pain is glued on
My passionate soul has rotted away
Dealt with this frustration
Longer then needed
Deceived by your selfishness
I held on to you for far too long
Just to be repulsed by your innocence
Now I live with this deceit
Now I live with this pain
My pain is now wasted
on this burden you brought upon me
My times is wasted
On your life of foolishness

Where'd You Go
I take my medicine
To keep myself held together
My eyes can't see straight
Like they used to
I'm stumblin around to find you
I wonder how long it took you
To...RUN AWAY
Where'd you go
So lost here with out you
Where'd you go
So troubled here with you
And I keep on running
I loved the way you let me touch
Your body so smooth like you face
Loved the way you were rough with me
I loved it when you get pretty reckless
Left me breathless when you would
Crawl under my skin
Where'd you go
So lost here with out...
To keep myself held together
My eyes can't see straight
Like they used to
I'm stumblin around to find you
I wonder how long it took you
To...RUN AWAY
Where'd you go
So lost here with out you
Where'd you go
So troubled here with you
And I keep on running
I loved the way you let me touch
Your body so smooth like you face
Loved the way you were rough with me
I loved it when you get pretty reckless
Left me breathless when you would
Crawl under my skin
Where'd you go
So lost here with out...

Overdosing In A Trip
I drop it on my tongue
and feel the burn
all in my body
I close my eyes to see
To see whats up with my mind
I start having bad memories
I open up my eyes
and see dead bodies everywhere
and start breaking down
as death has taken everyone I loved
I start fighting demons and angels
as they try to take them to the never lands
I blackout and wake up again.
I see myself in the mirror
and see the blood running down my face
I start wiping my face and see myself disappearing
I grab my cross and bear it to my heart
and close my eyes...
and feel the burn
all in my body
I close my eyes to see
To see whats up with my mind
I start having bad memories
I open up my eyes
and see dead bodies everywhere
and start breaking down
as death has taken everyone I loved
I start fighting demons and angels
as they try to take them to the never lands
I blackout and wake up again.
I see myself in the mirror
and see the blood running down my face
I start wiping my face and see myself disappearing
I grab my cross and bear it to my heart
and close my eyes...

Appreciation
Just because I care
doesn’t mean I’ll always be there when your low
say goodbye and watch you go
Just because I care
Doesn’t mean you can count on me
Or be your eyes when you cannot see
Just because I care
I cannot always give you a hug
and fill you with love
Just because I care
Doesn’t mean we cannot still make memories
and dream of our fantasies
Just because I care
Please be fair
and stay here
doesn’t mean I’ll always be there when your low
say goodbye and watch you go
Just because I care
Doesn’t mean you can count on me
Or be your eyes when you cannot see
Just because I care
I cannot always give you a hug
and fill you with love
Just because I care
Doesn’t mean we cannot still make memories
and dream of our fantasies
Just because I care
Please be fair
and stay here

One Day
I wake up and I lay there thinking
Thinking about what life will have to offer today
Could it be a new friend?
Could it be a new foe?
Just maybe could be a new love?
Obviously cannot be death
because I am awake
Whatever today has in stored for me,
It will be a surprise
Life certainly is a riddle
It certainly is nothing like playing a fiddle
Or could it be that easy?
Guess it really depends
Depends on how much you want something
There is a lot of things I want in life
Pretty sure everyone has that feeling too
...

The Noose
Feeling underneath the weather
I wanna be put underground
My life I need to lather
or else I'm not going to be around.
I hear them calling my name
Their voices still sound all the same.
Take me down to the river
and let me drift in the water
Just so I can see where it ends
My days are growing weary
My vision is becoming scary
In my dreams I see a person
Who is hanging with a bible laying at his feet
I wake up because I felt it choking
Tried to catch my breath
because it was getting hard to breathe.
This life I...

Just so I can see where it ends
My days are growing weary
My vision is becoming scary

Tried to catch my breath

Future
My future isn't so clear
Because I have fear
Fear that evolves in my present
This fear, isn't so pleasant
I see myself being another disappointment
I see myself failing again and again
I am afraid to express how i feel about my future
I am afraid to be questioned about what I want to be
Maybe I am afraid of becoming something I am not
Maybe I am afraid of being in the spotlight
Maybe it is death...
Death is my biggest fear
I am afraid of achieving everything I want
and when I finally obtain everything,
I am frightened by having it all...
Because I have fear
Fear that evolves in my present
This fear, isn't so pleasant
I see myself being another disappointment
I see myself failing again and again
I am afraid to express how i feel about my future
I am afraid to be questioned about what I want to be
Maybe I am afraid of becoming something I am not
Maybe I am afraid of being in the spotlight
Maybe it is death...
Death is my biggest fear
I am afraid of achieving everything I want
and when I finally obtain everything,
I am frightened by having it all...

(Untitled)
Seeing the light at the end of the tunnel
There is a person at the end
Sending a gesture for to me to come forward
Come forward into the light
There is only a light at the end
and not the beginning
I sense the fear coming on
like cologne covering me
in a scent that alerts
The worst and the bad
I walk into the darkness
Being pulled into images
Of my darkest days
I continue to make my way
I hear devil speaking to me
He tries to stop me
But I just keep going
and going
As I move forward
I never look back
There is a person at the end
Sending a gesture for to me to come forward
Come forward into the light
There is only a light at the end
and not the beginning
I sense the fear coming on
like cologne covering me
in a scent that alerts
The worst and the bad
I walk into the darkness
Being pulled into images
Of my darkest days
I continue to make my way
I hear devil speaking to me
He tries to stop me
But I just keep going
and going
As I move forward
I never look back

Women
Surrounded by you everyday
Surrounded by the things you say
I heard from a little bird
I heard it through the grapevine
You all act so precious and kind
but when you talk to guys you act so blind
and seem like you do not have a mind
I look behind your eyes
And see miles of pain
Look like a flower
but you feel devoured
I understand you all
just because i have lived with your kind
From the very start of my life
I ask you all do not be so hard on yourself
and play nice and do not bring out the claws ...

Being Alone
I live in fear
cry in tears
I wish I was free
but I don't want to see
The life I left behind
When I look ahead
I wish I was dead
I wish all these thoughts
Were not in my head
Because I am always caught
In these webs
That I have spread
Don't have nothing else to say
I just want to go away
Live in my hole
Not with my soul
Living with the pain
Is just to insane
I cannot maintain
This punishment
I have done to myself
I just want to let up
And let it all go
Cannot believe
I am...
