Shooting Stars"Shooting Stars"

What's the point of praying

Upon those shooting stars

When hopes you are conveying

Are so very far?

How can words you say

Released into open air

Possibly effect your day

When not many really care?

Every star I've wished upon

Has left me to pretend

That every situation

Wasn't crushed in the end

What use is there in denying

To cover what you mean

If it only leads to crying

And fantasies that can't be seen?

What happens when instincts betray

Or are not thought through well?

The words can not be conveyed

The letters are misspelled

If you stand by your own beliefs

You may one day walk alone

Because many can

Sundays"Sundays"

I heard them knocking again

This is such a sin

Why don't they understand?

I am not letting them in

I refuse to convert

My stubbornness is satisfied

So to them I avert

My ears away and hide

God will still forgive me

I have done no such crime

I am just so sleepy

At such an early time

Every Sunday morning

They always come around

In regards to conforming

To bother folks in town

They never leave me alone

They bang and knock and ring

Outside of my home

I swear they even sing!

And then they just stand there

And talk amongst themselves

Like a live mass of prayers

Or a bunch of Christmas elves

I don't wan

HeroI kinda just want to get in my car and drive...
..drive and drive and drive until I'm lost
and then sit on the side of the road and cry until I can't breathe
and slice the heck out of my arms, just for old time's sake
and stain my clothes with my blood
and then I want to drive and drive until
I find someone else crying on the side of the road
and I want to hug them.
I want to hold them and cry with them and show them what bleeding on purpose does to people.
I want to show them that the way I am treating myself and have treated myself
is not the answer
There are better ways to live
There are better ways to care
You can move forwar

Time FlowsTime is electric,
Just like the spheres in the clouds.
This story means so much,
To both lies, to truth and doubts.

Time flows,
Just like the blood in my head
Time breathes,
While time itself makes me sad…

Blue oceans where I thought about bathing my perfect mind…
Who am I fooling? I'm as empty as you, piece by piece I fall…
Truth and glory beyond this eddying void I cannot find!
And then I saw: the man was singing desperately, standing tall.

The desperate man is me. The story of sun and rain.
The desperate life I live is this. This story wasn't lived in vain.
Time flows and I remain behind. I'm lost again, I cann

Grow And Decay"Grow And Decay"

I am still bewildered how in the end

I turned out differently from all my friends

We don't like the same things anymore

Things I now enjoy they find to be a bore

But I've always been different; this is nothing new

Things that I like are only cherished by a few

But I can't complain when there's no one to blame

Except for me for not being the same

What kills me is how we all grew up similar

A collective bunch of souls all very familiar

With who we were and what we liked

We were all so bright at such great heights

Because when you are kids you make promises

And try to withhold them with such confidence

But then wh

ScarsThe mind forgets
But the heart remembers
The criss-crossing scars
Show like stars
The streaming tears
And haunting fears
Flowing pain
Of the slain
The cries of those
Who never screamed
Praying for life
Without a sound
The pleas for help
Never heard
The wishes that chance
Never granted
The pain might dull
And the mind forget
But the heart
Will always remember

Behind Those Eyes You HideBehind those eyes you hide
The fear and pain you feel
Kept in secret of oblivion
Seeing what isn't real

The mask of contentment
Covers your wounds
But your eyes
Well up in the fumes

Everything captured inside
Begging to escape
Can't be concealed
Your eyes being the gate

The weight bares down
Like an anchor at the bottom of the sea
You wait there patiently
For someone like me

RunRun.

She stumbles blindly through the forest,
the tears racing down her cheeks.
The trees loom above and around her,
Dominating the space.
Gone are the days
Of magic
The picnics and warm summer nights.

She seeks a place to hide
to escape her mind
A nothingness where existence
Is wholly subjective
And does not include
the anxieties and troubles
and over-thinking
of human life

Oh how free, how liberating
For a mind not to constantly
be awake
depriving sleep
depriving life

The leaves in front of her blind her,
the thorns catch her skin,
Desperate for something to cling on to.
The poisonous berries hang in front of her fac

Evenfall"Evenfall"

I find such beauty in the stars

Because they remind me of who you are

They burn brightly only for you

Because I know there's nothing you can't do

And as they disappear from my blurry view

A part of me has vanished with them too

Normally we can see through any disguise

But our hearts have become paralyzed.

Tangled in the lines that we drew hundred times

Our weak and fragile hearts are things I can not define

My tired eyes can no longer see through the night

But I wish upon the stars that you may find the grace from light

And I know my time will be over soon

But as long as I can breathe I will watch over you

Hiding in

Living a Lie.Living a Lie.

You say things you don't mean when you're angry.
You call me a waste of space and that you can't stand me.

When the dust settles you say you don't mean it.
You say I should know better than to believe it.

As usual I foolishly upkeep your illusive hold on me.
I allow you to mute my thoughts and take control of me.

You promise and reassure me that it will never happen again.
That this is the last time and you will put it all to an end.

But I know promises only comfort fools,
Who readily allow others to pull the wool

Over our eyes because it is easier to swallow the lies.
Can it be a mistake if it happens more than tw

Pain

An unpleasant feeling you may think
The feeling cannot be described in only ink
It can come and go in just a blink
It would be the bitter taste if life would be a drink

It's what gets us down
It's what leaves us with a frown
Sometimes makes us want to leave town
And sometimes makes us want ourselves to drown

It sure isn't much fun
We always want it to be over and done
We can't make it undone

Pain, is a measurement of will power
Recovering from pain may take more than an hour
But in the end you will blossom like a flower

Truth?"Truth?"

Truth has become reality's biggest nightmare
Which always becomes buried by those in despair
For is it more noble to bite one's tongue until it turns red
Or let truth accumulate until his heart pumps out dread?
My intuition has led me to the truth many times before
Of which I have realized truth is not the cure
But what is the truth when every character has a story
Upon which each owner desires to claim truth's glory?
For it is comforting for those to retreat from their fears
Or deny truth exists and mask it with cheers
What ignorant mortals for them I take sorrow
For truth will target and haunt them tomorrow
As for myse

Who what when where why or how.You're just another faceless one, hidden in the crowd,
No one cares about you, or why you act so proud.
No one knows who you are, you're just another face,
You could just disappear without a trace.

The blood red sky in your mind's eye,
It's always there but you don't know why.
You're just a part of a bigger whole,
And your heart is as black as coal.

You play dress-up with your top hat and cane,
But you can take it off and disappear again.
You're never noticed no matter what you wear,
It's a source of their contempt and your despair.

You could just disappear right now,
No matter who what when where why or how.

That Darn Fly"That Darn Fly"

It all started one night when I was trying

To swat a fly buzzing around my head

And all around the house

Even when I went to bed.

This fly was driving me insane

Resting on window panes and

Prancing through the hallways

As if he owned the place.

Imagine me breaking my things

Like a stereo system and a television screen

In order to kill an insect

No bigger than the ring on my finger.

I used a baseball bat to smash

Glass, furniture, and plaster

And anywhere else that darn fly

Landed on so it could die.

So finally I got this brilliant idea

To light a match and catch

That darn fly by burning his

Wings off so he

Over The EdgeI need some way to save her
And that's not by reciting
Pointless words on a crumbled up
Piece of paper
I wish I could intake her
And make her see that I love her
And take her away from all the people
Who always say that they love her
But they only push her and shove her
Hold themselves on a pedestal higher above her
They're kindling the fire thats burning inside her

But you can't see that on the surface
She looks so beautiful so perfect
She seems so full of her own purpose
When inside she's feeling hollow and fucking worthless
She's constantly asking herself "Why do they think I deserve this?!"

And I've seen her try to pretend

Stay Young"Stay Young"

Remember when the only thing to do in the morning
Was lay in bed and watch cartoons?
Nothing else then seemed important
And we didn't get out of bed until noon.

Remember when after school every day
We would play tag in the park?
We couldn't be told what to say
And we'd run around like fools until dark

But now that we've become older
Making transitions to new frames of mind
Life is weighing down like boulders
And things suddenly aren't as fine

We can't help but think; we can't help but worry
Some say life will just begin
But it seems no matter how fast we hurry
We're in a race we just can't win

We're in a tunnel that has no l

Clowns"Clowns"

There was one time when I was a kid
I hid in the circus at the age of six
Because all I remember is him following me around
A creepy clown with an upside-down frown

To say the least; this clown was not funny
It's more amusing watching bees make honey
With his stupid flower; he squirted my eyes
He made a little boy sad; oh God why?

With his big shoes; he invaded my bubble
I swear this clown was nothing but trouble
He failed at making those animal balloons
He wrapped himself up; what a buffoon!

Watching him juggle was really a bore
He dropped all the balls right on the floor
Then on his unicycle he kept spinning around
And circling

Stronger"Stronger"

How does it feel to be erased?
How does it feel to be replaced?
Consumed by your inborn hate
You've made your grave in a lonesome fate

How does it feel to feel nothing at all?
How does it feel to stumble and crawl?
Not such a nice feeling now, is it?
Others may deem you as quite pathetic

I don't need your filth, your shame, your lies
And I found in time I did survive
I'm stronger now because I don't allow
People to walk over or break me down somehow

I don't need your trust, your eyes, your games
And in the end it was really such a shame
But I refuse to relate to the same mistakes
I don't allow myself to ache or break

I feel s

Blossom"Blossom"

Beyond the cherry oaks and evergreen backwoods
Past the landscapes of emerald trees and creeks of water
On top of a hill surrounded by mud and soil
Lies an innocent flower as delicate and quiet as the wind

I planted this flower from the seedlings in my garden
Carefully cultivating this flower to reflect the beauty of nature
But I soon knew my flower outgrew its surroundings
This particular flower needed ample room to grow

At first the roots resisted, I had to tug to set them free
Scared of the storms and fires that could potentially be
The unknown wilderness is a scary place I must admit
Regardless my garden was not a comfortable

Serenade Her Sky"Serenade Her Sky"

Use me if you need to vent
Use me to your heart's content
I'm here for you; I'm prepared
I'll always listen; don't be scared

Use me as your punching bag
Tell me when you're feeling mad
I do not bruise; I have the might
If it means you'll be all right

Use me when you're black and blue
I'll restore your heart anew
Let me know when you are grey
Things won't always stay the same

Thanks for giving me the chance
To walk together hand-in-hand
I promise to help you through
What it is that's killing you

Tell me if I'm acting wrong
Tell me if I don't belong
I can handle what you say
I've matured in many ways

You're the stars an

Drip, Drop, Drip"Drip, Drop, Drip"

I felt a warm feeling run down my arm
But truth behold the pain was gone
I saw blood dripping on the floor
I watched it drip and drip some more

How it happened; I don't know
But the drip was dripping slow
It might have seemed like such a bore
But I watched it drip some more

I watched the blood leave a trail
Down the drawer and on the mail
The trail now leaked under doors
Drip by drip, it dripped some more

The noise it made was pitter-patter
On the tiles spilt and splattered
To clean this up is such a chore
So I watched it drip some more

My head tilted and pictured eyes
Eyes like mine so young and wise
Disgusted by this

True Colors

"True Colors"

I dislike who I am

More than others will ever know

In fact I can't stand

The way I can't let go

Of who I used to be

And those nights screaming in pain

And why I can not see

I'm the one to blame

I am burned out and low

And have been criticized by those

Who said they loved me though

That was a long time ago

I hate pathetic parts of me

That I pretend don't exist

Along with insecurities

I wish didn't persist

No matter where I run

I can't escape the past

In fact I'm rather stunned

I made it here at last

But I still abuse myself

Sometimes when luck escapes

I place this liquor on a shelf

I burn my insides 'til I break

Until I can finally realize

That change comes from inside

I'll never save these eyes

From seeing blood beside

The floor as I pour more

And more onto white tiles

That leak under doors

Perhaps more than a mile

Each scar represents a failed

Attempt to exhale and die

Peacefully but to no avail

As my plans run awry

What am I doing

Here standing in line?

Its not worth pursuing

This life is a waste of my time

And yours too as well

I've kept you long enough

You're bored I can tell

Of my bitter disgust

Well I am too indeed

But I can't seem to change

Don't ever be like me

This life is mine to claim

Its taken me this long

To realize I need aid

But I'm always in the wrong

So I'll smoke again today
