I wish I
I wish I could be alone sometimes
Alone in this life so I have time to think on my own
Is it me?
Just me?
Am I all on my own?
Time will tell what the future beholds
So take your life and hold it close
Your at the end
End of your rope
Your skin starts to peel
Your eyes cease to glow
Because of greed and selfish fools
I see no hope in us at all
It kills me to see this
It hurts even more to bear
They wont break through the skin
No i wont
I wont give in
They wont break through the skin
I wont give in
Mountains are crumbling
Oceans they spread like flames
Looks like the tides have turned
And i have seen everything
Faces they change
But the picture stays the same
I stand alone and i felt the walls cave in
At last Ive waited long for this
Yes i took every chance
And i don't regret shit
We came to tell the world
That we cant do this on our own

Say Goodbye to your worries and small cares
Feeling is what you have missed for several years
So cold and afraid
Now alone and betrayed
The way you feel day after day
Night after night
Line after line
(Night after night, Line after line)
You blow all the powder polluting your mind
(Night after night, Line after line)
Contaminating substances running your life
Now can you see
That the damages done will be
To much to bear
Your Burden to share
No more, no more, no more
Where is your heart now
Never there at all
Oh doll have you ever felt love in your soul
Guess you need to live by the rules
Play or get played
But baby this aint no game
Sing yourself to sleep
My words echoing through craters and wholes in your head
Your lie to yourself can only get you by for so long
Say goodbye to the one by your side for so long
May the pills and the K mark your now early grave
Mark Your Grave!
You Used Me For Too Long!
Addict, Whore I will not endure
When your homeless, beaten and come off the binge
Dont bother to call, I wont fake a grin
Where is your heart now
Never there at all
Oh doll have you ever felt love in your soul
Guess you need to live by the rules
Play or get played
But baby this aint no game
Your on your own!
My life wont be in your control
Your on your own
Spun out of control

Sleeper

When I sleep
I hear these voices inside my head
They tell me its ok
When I dream
These thoughts surround me
My mind is numb
And its a little too late
Running through my head
Your whispered words
They travel in one ear and out the other
My mind is flooded
And im holding on to all I have
ALL I HAVE!
When i wake
Im embodied in a whole new me
I dont fear a thing
And im surrounded by doubt and a home of ungratefulness
I know i wont miss this home of ungratefulness
Enough's Enough!
(DOUBT!)
Sleep on
I wont let you wake to see the me that ive become
Theres a monster in my mind
These demons left behind
Sing lies through your dark empty eyes
So this is one more night youll sleep right through
False blue eyes that scream the truth of reality, my dreams
And all the space surrounding you
But moonlight brings new life to lonely nights
Oh sleeper open your eyes
Dont worry they'll never see
Enough's Enough!
Im seeing red
This blood on my hands
Its not from me
Its from them
And id hope to see the best for you
In hopes that you would want the same for me
Woah, I dont know
I dont know if I can take another second of the shit that i go through

Forgiveness

Oh, I see
I see your lies hidden behind your fake fears
I see you, as you crave for attention,
Lacking the love you say you have
I see you, as you use your "loved one" to get revenge
No one was there
You've made mistakes that you cant count
Don't put the blame on me
Cut the lights out
Burn it all down to the ground
You are the spitting image of everything I don't want to be
As you try and convince others to believe your gruesome lies
I stand here wishing you GoodFuckinLuck
Good luck getting out of your fake habits
Good luck getting the forgiveness and happiness back that there used to be
Good luck with your life since i will not now nor never been apart of it again
Now this is an ode to you, the fake one!
Everything I have has been hatred towards you
I don't have anything to hide from you
Anger and silence are all that you will hear
Am I not the one who told you to be real?
A hope for home is all that you have left
You wish you can go back to being yourself
These are the games you play
Now this is an ode to you,
THE FAKE ONE!
I wont forgive you for this

Reckoning

Im sorry you cannot live with yourself
Or the grandest lie that you have a soul within yourself
Im chasing wonders and dreams all around in the trees
And when the branches crumble they'll seep out all your greed
Flowing with motive for murder tonight
Ripping your soul with a blade
I delight in tearing your heart at the seams
Pray your wings take flight
Ill wipe that smirk right off your fucking face
Regret everything you've ever said or done to me
Repent for all your sins and all your fucking past mistakes
BROKEN MIRROR ON THE FLOOR REFLECTIONS OF YOUR FACE REMAIN
Dont blame yourself
I know i never asked for this but after all you've put me through
Unwed bride toss the bouquet in the air
Fallen roses will seal your demise
Pull the shards from your skin
I wont let this
I wont let this happen to me
This storm wont be my demise
The rain has fallen upon my head
But the sun will shine in my eyes
This wont be the end for me
Pick up the pieces on the ground i stood last night
Open your heart and find the strength to push me forward
No i dont like where this is going so I think ill change my plans
And make this all okay
Im sorry do you hate what you are?
You will spend all these nights alone, all alone
Look at me now
As i finish this story, a play wrote in script while your praying for mourning
Look at me now
As the crowd roars applause, wont you take one last bow this finales all yours
Baby can you scream any louder?
I dont think theyll hear you cry
Baby this is just as hard on me as it is for you
Cut the rope, Your noose is tied so tight
Restrained by you veins
Your body bound in chains
Can you feel anything anymore?
Lifeless corpse rotting on the floor

BELIEVING IN ME
Pay attention to the words you say
They blow away with the wind
But they will find you again
Don't ever stand in front of me
Like I am nothing at all and you can lie to me
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems
Since your floating further away,
And you have nothing to say
Your chance is slim
Your skull is thick
And the only choice you have is
Believing in me
I see the way the waves will crumble
Everything you've ever loved
I shouldn't need to
Explain myself to you
I see the way
The waves are falling into place
Though the days will come and go
You'll see the pace begin to change
But the coast is nothing more
Then the edge of all you'll see
So believe me
(believe me)
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems.
So just lift up your head and look past the life we know
I swear I'm doing everything I can to not let my harshest feelings show
You see me tearing through the roots
There's nothing left
Building from the ground
With thick cement
I gave it all I had
I tried my best
But still you won't be there for me
So tell me why,
Why should I be there for you?
Answer me this,
If you won't be there for me,
Then why should I be there for you?
Do I even belong here,
Or do you want something else?
I said answer me this,
Do you want something else?
You see me tearing through the roots,
There's nothing left
And now I'm building from the ground
With thick cement
And I've been looking for a way
To fix this mess
I gave it all I had
I tried my best
But still you won't be there for me
So tell me why,
Why should I be there for you?
I'm sorry to say,
I haven't been myself.
I'm sitting here,
In this room,
With some clothes,
On the shelves,
And all we have of wealth,
Is the importance of our health,
Each family member torn from home,
all fending for themselves.
I see the way
The waves are falling into place
Though the days will come and go
You'll see the pace begin to change
But the coast is nothing more
Then the edge of all you'll see
So believe me
(believe me)
Speaking in person may be harder than it seems.
I can see the sun setting
Ten thousand miles away
I watch alone as the tide rolls in
Sweeping seas of green and blue
They're pulling me under
And I can't fight this current for much longer
Still I promise I'll keep my head above water
