anvil
Looking for a reprieve,
But being held against your will.
Bound by the desires of the heart,
That occupy the empty space you're trying to fill.
(chorus)
You're killing yourself,
But refuse to believe.
That the anvil you hold in your hand,
Is a temporary remedy.
Looking for a way out,
But too blind to see.
You get tangled up in the chains that bind you to your misery.
Confused,
You try and understand.
You believe,
The answer is the anvil you hold in your hand.
Swallow it down,...
But being held against your will.
Bound by the desires of the heart,
That occupy the empty space you're trying to fill.
(chorus)
You're killing yourself,
But refuse to believe.
That the anvil you hold in your hand,
Is a temporary remedy.
Looking for a way out,
But too blind to see.
You get tangled up in the chains that bind you to your misery.
Confused,
You try and understand.
You believe,
The answer is the anvil you hold in your hand.

the monkey wants to play
A loaded rig,
Calling your name.
Plunging down,
You feel your escape.
You don't want ti die,
But you're wasting away.
If you cross that line,
Before you wake.
You'll pray to god,
Your soul he'll take.
The valley's dark,
The sun blackend by your disease.
You hear a train coming,
Then darkness is released.
You hold onto hope,
That you'll see the light of day.
The pendulum swings,
And the monkey wants to play.
With a needle and spoon you're digging an early grave.
Shackled to the tracks ,
By a ball and...
Calling your name.
Plunging down,
You feel your escape.
You don't want ti die,
But you're wasting away.
If you cross that line,
Before you wake.
You'll pray to god,
Your soul he'll take.
The valley's dark,
The sun blackend by your disease.
You hear a train coming,
Then darkness is released.
You hold onto hope,
That you'll see the light of day.

And the monkey wants to play.

a letter from the grave
I knew a girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth,
She held the whole world in her hands,
Thought she had life all figured out.
At night she could see the lights from the other side of town
Curious how the other half lived,
She started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Now drinking and drugging are her new dance,
Seduced by the night life she never had a chance.
It's writen in stone,
A cold hard fact.
When you roll the dice,
You cant take it back,
And sometimes curiosity kills the cat.
Now she works the streets...
She held the whole world in her hands,
Thought she had life all figured out.
At night she could see the lights from the other side of town
Curious how the other half lived,
She started hanging out with the wrong crowd.
Now drinking and drugging are her new dance,
Seduced by the night life she never had a chance.
It's writen in stone,
A cold hard fact.

You cant take it back,
And sometimes curiosity kills the cat.

a foot in the grave
It's how you finish,
Not how you play the game.
Got my crosses to bare,
To cleanse my soul today.
The pendulum swings,
As time slips away.
Got one foot in this world,
The other in a grave.
The more things change the more they stay the same,.
Traveling down this winding road,
Sometimes a sinner,
Other times a saint.
In between black and white,
Living in the gray.
Got one foot in this world,
The other in a grave.
Throw yourself in the fire,
Pray for baptism by rain.
Thought you had it right,
But karma fueled...

a different fold
From the beging of time,
Stories have been told.
Writing on the walls,
Lambs from a different fold.
Now technological advancement on a roll,
Give them satisfaction to maintain controll.
Hidden in the clouds,
A strange orange glow.
Don't look away too long,
Cause we're not alone.
Secrets have been kept,
But the truths coming out.
Release disinformation,
To silence the crowd.
Evidence grows even in doubt.
Cloke and dagger effect,
Better wacth out.
Perpetual motion,
Things that fly.
The truth stands alone,...

stars fell like rain
It's been a while since i've seen your face,
Still your memories never seem to fade.
Tomorrow's just another day,
For sorrow to feed the pain.
From this darkness,
There is no escape.
Left alone since that night the stars fell like rain.
Just wanted to know,
Why i was left standing out un the cold?
Can't you feel my heart?
It's turned to stone.
Barely alive,
Merely flesh and bone.
I haven't seen the light of day,
In your absence madness took its place.
Without you i fall from grace,
Left in the dark to defend an...

gates of dawn
I had a dream, i couldn't find my way home.
Lost in the night, a stange story unfolds.
Got cast into a well with walls made of stone.
Blinded by darkness, the wind was blowing cold.
Charmed by an evil enchantress as she swallowed my soul.
Caught up in a fog, i followed her down a long and crooked road.
Must have got lost, now i find myself where angels fear to go.
There's a hangman with an hourglass standing by the gallows pole.
In order to pass the pipers at the gates of dawn say they must see my soul.
I've got to try and find a gypsy dancer, she...

loves last breath
Disconnected, reaching out. Immune to affection, crumbling down.
Shallow water, in too deep. Don't bother to look before you leap.out of breath, let love rest in peace.
Under silent protest, spiral and desend. Emotionally suppressed, when will it end? The charade's not over yet, still waiting for loves last breath

1+1=1
When i saw you for the first time you seduced me with your lustful eyes. Is it fantasy or by design? Infatuated with your body i had to make you mine.
Girl i didn't know you could be so sublime, now i'm addicted to the way your body keeps perfect rythm with mine. Passion so hot, baby you sure are a smooth ride.
I hunger for your flesh but it's not a crime, because when we get together we're one of a kind. So trust in me i'll be your devil in disguise, andwe'll make love all night long untill i know you're satisfied.
When we're in a groove i love to feel your vibe,...

my own worst enemy
It's over now that you left me. Seasons are changing, my cue to turn a new leaf. Trying to move on but finding it hard to sleep. When i close my eyes you're there in my dreams. You won't leave me alone, thats why you're my own worst enemy.
You stabbed me in the back just to watch me bleed. A shadow of myself, it's hard to stand on my own to feet. Trying to get loose, but can't break free. Held hostage by the stillness of your memory. Never alone, because misery is the company i keep. Thanks to you, my own worst enemy.
Thought getting over you would be an easy thing. It's...
