Nevada's Grace
In this perfection i lament her beauty, her voice a sour note in this bitter
serenade.
And all those things i could have should have would have said ring
out like the gunshots across long lost days.
If that wasn't love then what the fuck was i thinking?
I would bear my soul just to bask in your grace and your beauty,
your strength inspires all of my days,
i would carry any load just to bear your cross for one day.
Your love fills me up when the blood in my body's drained and your strength is my backbone when i feel every bone break.
It takes my breath away how you took my breath away,
how could i know that you would take my breath away?
how could i know one kiss would change everything...You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got

Of Gods And Monsters
You do not giveth
therefore you cannot taketh away
no being is my master
i am not a spiritual slave

rightous son
holy ghost

Ain't Love Grand
Gutted like a pig, all you want is the world to bleed,
someone somewhere stole your desire
The pain akin to being punched in the throat,
and stabbed in the chest
You would rather bleed than be without her
Gone are the tender whispers dancing in your ears
Replaced with lackluster memories you cry,
your screams play in your empty room
It's so hard to see when your eyes are rolling in the back of your head
It's even harder to speak when everything you say just comes out wrong
Your bed swallows you whole as the days bleed together,
torment on the lips of a loved one,
and if you try hard enough you can almost taste herYou ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

At Least I Know I'm A Sinner
Lift up a stone and you will find him,
cherish the beauty in the world around us
Not in buildings or crosses made by man
Judge me, fuck you, stop playing god
Your forked tongue prophecies,
carelessly caressing the wounds of the weak
People like you should be crucified,
then maybe just maybe you would have an idea
Of what you are talking about.
My only solace is that one day,
judgment will come for the wicked, then we will see who burns
Raise your heads, unclasp your hands,
your weakness makes me tremble
True strength comes from within
And we were given this life to live,
not exist under standards set by some bullshit rule book
What prayers of yours were ever answered by degrading others
Spare me your biblical back peddling nonsense
For the people that you've hurt, and the being your dishonor,
Your fall from grace will finally justify my means
Judge me and now you are me and what's worse
You are now a traitor to your god
Tell me Judas, how does it feel to be looked down upon
Sinners like you should be strung up from the highest tree
you judged me and now you are me, stop playing godYou ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

hmmm...
i think this thread needs a change of attitude...
Dear violet, won't you come out to play
Dear violet, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear violet won't you come out and play
Dear violet, open up your eyes
Dear violet, see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear violet won't you open up your eyes?
Look around round
Look around round round
Look around
Dear violet let me see you smile
Dear violet like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear violet won't you let me see you smile?

>i'm purging.
i know what you are doing,and i'm glad for it.
but hey,i saw rainbows last week in skies that hadnt seen rain for weeks......
i didnt even know that was possible......
in time you will realize a lot of things are possible that dont seem so now.
such as a killer smile on your face matched by the most important smile,the one that is in the eyes....
take care my friend....

You Eclipsed By Me
I began my ascent at minus zero, you made so sure of that,
you tried to keep me down here, your complacency has been your downfall, nobody made you king of the world, and i'm here to dethrone you.
So kiss the ring motherfucker, it's my time, my time to shine.
Grasping for the straws as they fall,
maybe you can make a splint for your broken ego, for your broken ego.
So i say thank you for the scars, and the guilt, and the pain,
every tear i've ever cried has sealed your fucking fate, what did you take me for, a fool? or were you just to blind to see that every effort made has failed and there is no destroying me?
Hate can be a positive emotion, when it forces you to better yourself.
you built me, constructed my desire, perfected my hatred,
now i'm driven to be ten times better then you think you are, ten times
better then you think you are, piece by piece i've built my walls and burned
the bridges down that lead back to the people like you, so full of malice,
so full of scorn. You tried your best to crush my spirit, you tried your
best to steal my soul, you you pushed my back against the wall and i broke
it down. I will not be broken though i am the one who bleeds, I will not be
broken, i am the one.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

Demonology And Heartache
So unaffectionate, so insecure, you claim to know a thing or two about
heartache, and what it's like to have your insides torn out, and i believe
you i see it everytime your pallbearers pallour is obscured by the darkness,
dancing across your face, and where the blackness veils your eyes in pain, i
know what it's like when memories make you wince and love letters read like
obituaries and photo albums are the books of the dead, i need no more
reminders, no more reminders, i'll forget the past and lay it to rest. If i
had my way i'd cut the calluses off your, off your breaking heart if i could
get past the sternum, cauterize those wounds with every kiss i could give to
you, i'm holding your heart in my hand, the reason it still beats. Am i being
too cryptic? am i being too obscure? Love kills, romance is dead and i don't
even trust myself, but i love you and you can pull my wings apart and pin me
down under glass until the end of days if it can help you discover that we
share the same pain. I just hope you write your thesis before the subject is
dead. No life after death.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

The Crimson
I feel it welling up inside and Robert Smith lied, boys do cry
and with blood tears in my eyes i'm an Anne Rice novel come to life,
i can't hide the monster anymore
one can only feel desolate for so long until one starts to change into something the mirror doesn't recognize,
I metamorphosize, the darkness has been biding it's time to claim it's latest victim, fresh meat for carnal desires, to become what i became, i viewed the sun for the last time.
Will you still hold me when you see what i have done?
Will you still kiss me the same when you taste my victims blood?
so crimson and red i feel it flowing from your lips,
my heart is dead and so are you.
And it pulses through, the desire to change, to deconstruct all of my past failings, but where to begin because when you live in sin it's hard to look at saints without them reflecting their jet black auras back on you.
And all i have is hope, and all i need is time, to bury in pine under six feet of time
the lies i told me about myself, claw my way out pick the splinters from under
my fingernails, i won't lose hope, i won't give in. Just live and breath try
not to die again.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

My Sanity On The Funeral Pyre
Paranoia is the insect worming it's way through my subconscious thoughts,
it's the larva of my self doubt, gestating in my heart as i spiral down and
everything i touch is breaking and it falls to earth in splinters and i
shiver as every splinter finds it's way underneath my skin, and after 22
years i can still make my skin crawl, every shortcoming a pitfall, on my way
to making amends within myself to be what i became. Sometimes it feels like
the whole wide world has made itself my enemy, but i will stand upon my own
two feet and raise my head up. I lick my wounds trying to cleanse the
infection, rabid and diseased reality fades away, when i pushed myself too
far, a dream of emotional perfection has left a wounded heart, trying to
perceive the gifts inherent inside me it's like squeezing the trigger, it's
like opening fire on everyone who's let me down, on every beautiful lie that
is only fiction for the first time, i'm losing control and i like it,
freedom feels like the noose is gone.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

Dilated
Yesterday I forgot to breathe for like the 6th time this week.
maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky that changed my mind and brought me back
seems like every day it's kill or be killed...
with all this anger there is no time to inhale and progress
and catch the smell of something that you once knew.
have you ever stopped raised your face up to the sun and screamed
let it out exhale the pain
that strangulates your soul, when will I be free
my lungs take in the fragrance of remorse, what is the cost, am I living,
if you let your lungs fill up with pain then you will drown in your own regret.
my arms feel so numb my heart palpitates missing a beat.
the blood freezing in my veins. the taste of rust in my mouth.
But today I just threw it all away
though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind,
if you blink you could miss so much. please don't ever close your eyesYou ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

Subterranean Homesick Alien
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
where you can't smell a thing,
you watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement.
Up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,
of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves
and live for their secrets.
They're all uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight.
I wish that they'd sweep down in a country lane,
late at night when I'm driving.
Take me on board their beautiful ship,
show me the world as I'd love to see it.
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me,
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely.
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life.
They'd shut me away.
But I'd be alright, alright,
I'd be alright,
I'm alright.
I'm just uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight, uptight,
uptight.0 -

Sometimes I think I'm scared
Sometimes I know
I feel like making love
Sometimes I don't
I feel like letting go
Maybe not
I feel like giving up
Is all we got
Sometimes is all the time
And never means maybe
Sometimes is all the time
Maybe
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on (Sometimes I feel alone)
And I'm moving on
And I'm moving on
Sometimes I make believe
When we're alone
Machines have taken hold
Can you get me to a telephone
It's just the little things
You used to see
Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be
I never noticed
How lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliens
I never noticed
Lovely were the aliens
Lovely were the aliensYou ask me to enter

Right Side Of The Bed
And I can see her now, dancing around, her drink in hand, all her baggage in tow.
i just want to forget and let go of all the joy, all the pain.
i took your guilt and placed it into me, and now i kiss it goodbye, our last dance ended fatally.
Who's sleeping on my side of the bed tonight?
Have you ever cried so hard? Baby you just died. And there she goes again, another masquerade in flase circumstance, she'll fuck you just for the taste.
I just wish that i could replace all the memories of what makes my blood run cold,
and as your blood flows through me, I say goodbye to what we had.
She came and went , I gnawed through my lip, makeup smeared in her eyes, each sob is a reason to say goodbye.
Sometimes when you’re holding on you'll never see the light.
With flowers in her hair gazed upon with dead lovers eyes, she never looked so good
and I never felt so right. I felt so wrong.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt

Who Died
Who died in the systematic procress that we call life
each indiscriminate event leading itself to the total destruction
the total annihilation of the beauty and spark of mankinds history
each failure is so symbolic of whats past and what yet left to be
un-dead or am i reall dying
whos to say that this is eternity
devoid of serenity
brings us closer to a label of hell
here we go are all we all dead
whats the stop, wheres the end
whats the stop, where do i end
save me from my sins
save us from the demons within
with another gone in this war to stay afloat
in this turmoil known as daily life breaking human spirit
lack of love abundance of dusgust
whos dead am i dead
what is death
whose to say that this is life?
Oh god the pain of the response
no reaction or are we indifferent
well whos will save us or are we already saved
well whos to say we need to be saved anyway.You ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on

My Desire
What I see, is it real
Or just a stroke of my mind
And no one sees what I feel
She could be my fate once more
The bright light in her eyes
Could guide me through the darkest night
And the strength, she radiates
She must be one of my dreams
I can't describe what I feel for her
She is my incarnated phantasy
She must be a descended angel
Her seductive beauty makes me blind
Days without her - days without the sun
Like a desert without rain
Like a rose without its scent
My desire - someday passion
My desire - someday depression
She makes me feel, like I never did before
In every second she's the one that I adore
In lonely nights, I dream about her
And everyday I miss her caressYou ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on

Love and Seduction
I feel this longing so strange and so bizarre
Until I will find you I'll keep it in the dark
A blaze bizarre burns in my heart
Brighter than the flame of fear
It feeds my wish to reach your love
To touch you in our dreams
When everything is withering
You're still my bleeding rose
And neither hate nor death can divide our love
My mind writes serenades for you
Like melodies of silence
Your shadow is trembling when I
Touch your skin and kiss your fear away
It's not easy to conceal
Fear with a masquerade of joy
Tears from a bleeding rose
Even purity can't wipe away
Sharing both, pleasure and pain
Sometimes passion is the same
Addicted to emotion, love and seductionYou ask me to enter
But then You make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what You got
When all You've got is hurt
