his escape
with the pen to the page he swears hes okay
even though inside himself he is crying
another time another line
if he takes this chance everything will be fine
every day every month every year
he feels the same and ashamed
of everything he has and hasn't done
hating himself for what hes become
with a smile on his face hes trying to escape
with the knife to his veins he swears hes okay
even though inside himself he is dying
one more time adding line after line
if he takes the chance he will finally be fine
every day every month every...

...
ive got a filthy secret that nobody wants to know, i sit alone at home at night fighting for control
medicate, intoxicate, lascerate to bone its difficult wondering what the fuck wrong
going for a walk through the forest of your thoughts scared to death of being caught
never being good enough screaming for a break through the torrent of the pain
the mental battle raging on is driving me insane
i want to fucking hurt somebody every single day and im doubting my ability to keep those thoughts at bay
my moral code is gone all i see is fucking gray there is no fucking...

20 going on 16
i'll be 20 in a hundred days
ive still got acne on my face
I still hate shaving
who the hell decided
that hair belongs on your face
I know im aging
I know it sucks
im fucking scared of growing up
i know im older
this shit sucks
im fucking terrified
and man i feel like throwing up
I still wear skinny jeans
and I still dye my hair
I still wear make up
and paint my nails
and I find it hard to care
I know im aging
I know it sucks
im fucking scared of growing up
i know im older

<3...
I wish that I could tell you exactly how I feel
because you make everything feel so surreal
and I can't believe you stopped and talked
with me
at the park two years ago
you looked so beautiful
and we were both so shy
every time you looked to the ground
it made me want to lift you to the sky
I wish that I could tell you everything
like you're the reason that I still cling
to this life that drags out the miles
you know every single way to make the pain
go away
thank you for making me smile
holding you...
because you make everything feel so surreal
and I can't believe you stopped and talked
with me
at the park two years ago
you looked so beautiful
and we were both so shy
every time you looked to the ground
it made me want to lift you to the sky
I wish that I could tell you everything
like you're the reason that I still cling
to this life that drags out the miles
you know every single way to make the pain
go away
thank you for making me smile

Nowhere
no matter where I go, what I do
I always feel out of my skin
and theres something out of reach out there
that seems to be home...
familiar names, familiar faces
from my awful fall from grace
and I want to be there whenever you fall down
to pick you up off of the ground
and save you..
but it seems to be nowhere is where I belong
I feel so alone and these night are too long
the days I spend locked away inside of my head
screaming and thrashing just praying for death
I cant believe ive let it go this far..
I haven't done...
I always feel out of my skin
and theres something out of reach out there

i made it..
i hate everything about myself
but yet i love it all
the scars have healed the tears have dried
I guess I made it through
but everything I started with
I knew I was going to lose
my heart I gave with roses
to a common fucking whore
my mind I gave to drugs and drink
and barely left the floor
my compassion went to worthless worms
that squandered it in days
my happiness left me for a using bitch
when i refused to stay
but through everything i have survived
ive learned a little more
but yet i love it all
the scars have healed the tears have dried
I guess I made it through
but everything I started with
I knew I was going to lose
my heart I gave with roses
to a common fucking whore
my mind I gave to drugs and drink
and barely left the floor
my compassion went to worthless worms
that squandered it in days
my happiness left me for a using bitch
when i refused to stay
but through everything i have survived
ive learned a little more

what happened
what happened to the world I loved?
where did it go, where does it hide?
did it run from the abuse as should I?
did it die when they left me in that hospital for months?
is it scared of me now with these ugly marks covering my body?
what happened to the colors that I used to see?
they made everything beautiful with scenery so serene
are the tired like me, sleeping until a better day?
are they bleeding til they turn grey as I do..?
what happened to make everything this way..
what happened to me..?
where did it go, where does it hide?
did it run from the abuse as should I?
did it die when they left me in that hospital for months?
is it scared of me now with these ugly marks covering my body?
what happened to the colors that I used to see?
they made everything beautiful with scenery so serene
are the tired like me, sleeping until a better day?

Jumped
coughing and crying on hands and knees
broken and bruised laying on the street
around me I see their feet
in a circle the stand laughing and pointing
shouting or whispering insults to me
barely able to hold my head up I try to stand
I get dizzy, my vision falters and I fall again
I feel pain in my side and scream to the sky
please god, at least for tonight don't let me die
I feel a hit on my back and I smack into the ground
why doesn't anyone help? is there no one around?
my visions dims and a cough once more
then the rest is black, save for the...

Left or Right
Why cant I figure out what I'm feeling inside
My heart's gone so many directions that I cant decide
To the left or the right
Straight ahead or risk getting left behind
Why must I fight myself like this
Every night another tally appears on my wrist
To the left or the right
I cant decide so I write
About everything I don't understand starting with me
The stories always end with a twist
A rope swing around my neck
A blade so deep I cant feel regret
The confusion that torments me inside my chest
In the end its the same my dreams always...
My heart's gone so many directions that I cant decide

Straight ahead or risk getting left behind

Night assault. (prologue)
Slowly, silently, they crawled across the vast desert around the town, the black of night concealing them in the wasteland. The moon hardly showing through the thick, sickly clouds their sorcerer's and shaman had conjured days previous to the attack. The unsuspecting settlement unaware of their inevitable doom. Light hit them and they froze, one smiled, its fangs glinting in the soft light. It growled lowly reassuring the other's, "It's just a ray from the moon, move for-" A spear slammed into the back of its skull with a sickening thud and a soft chuckle could be heard. They...

new breed
forgotten by the god in heaven above
cursed to wander the world without faith or love
the lies they weave
repentance is the only salvation
for the sins of generations past
a new breed, hateful
untrusting
disgusted with the world is born
a new breed, fallen
and violent
disgusted with the world
they make it burn
forgotten by the devil reigning in hell below

"dad" (pop punk/posthardcore song about my dad)
I'll never know exactly where you are
that used to screw me up inside
I used to feel lost but ive come so far
letting go is the one thing ive done right
so I'm writing this song to finalize
everything ive felt inside
everything ive tried to hide
I don't care anymore;
you were never around
I longed for your voice
but never heard a sound
for all I know you could be six feet underground...
and that's alright with me
I'll never know exactly who you are
that used to screw me up inside
it used to fucking hurt but ive come so...
that used to screw me up inside
I used to feel lost but ive come so far
