    hmm...for some reason I had 2 pictures in my head when reading this one...one was the burning at a "witch trial" and the other someone hiding from the kkk who were burning a cross in their yard and than they were spotted. good read depop... :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    It got me to thinking. Now in my mind set I invision starting a fire, for me it is a little difficult. For me it is no more then a fire to warm up by or to have for a night light while camping. In these I take it for more...burning something out? Of exsistance? Not in vengence but comfort. Now in relaying these to SF I would think of remorse. Maybe even just the end of the line. Just something more I have better luck starting a fire with twigs instead of kindling, I am no good at chopping it. :P

    I like
    Blue skies
    And matches
    I like
    Disguise
    Dark patches
    I like
    To hide
    And watch it

    Afternoon shimmers
    In twilight’s
    Sunrise
    At sunset
    With ashes

    I like
    Blue skies
    And matches
    I like
    Disguise
    Dark patches
    I like
    To hide
    And watch it

    Upon dawn set
    Light up
    The matches
    Sun tan
    In starlight
    With passion

    I like
    Blue skies
    And matches
    I like
    Disguise
    Dark patches

    As I
    Turn my head away
    Smolders
    Will they present a better day
    As I
    Walk to shadows from light
    Smolders
    Bring upon my nostrils delight

    Walk away
    Smell of smoldering ash
    Be a ghost
    Time to be somewhere else
    Mend your mind
    Wasn’t as fun this time

    Burn away
    To bring a better day
    Pass on bye
    The all turn blind eye
    Never known
    This day was coming upon
    Shown dismay
    Do they know what it is all about

    Don’t turn back
    Make them come for you
    Why stop now
    Time to carry through
    A simple plan
    But how it comforts you

    Passing time
    Light the fireworks
    Frame of mind
    Takes away some hurt
    Mend the soul
    Is that what this is for
    Watch it burn
    Precedent blaze
    Taking it to the ground
    Instance gone
    In a heap of dust
    Let it go
    Do it until they know

    This is here
    What will come up now
    Set a blaze
    Start it with your match
    Do again
    Use the whole damned pack

    Let it burn
    Crashing to the ground
    Shimmering light
    Break the dark of my night
    Let it burn
    Bring on better days
    Let it burn
    Troubles up in blaze
    Let it burn
    As I run away
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    New night
    Come to me
    New night
    Set me free
    New night
    Light it up
    New night
    I have to see

    Set the stage
    But out of sight
    Bought some time
    Their noose is tight
    When they come
    Then they’ll see
    In the light
    They’ll find me

    Kindle stacked
    From horrid years
    In their hearts
    Within their tears

    Can’t suppress
    No forgotten times
    It’s in my thoughts
    Can’t cleanse my mind

    Let it burn
    Right to the ground
    Saw the fire
    Haunts day and night
    Gone to ashes
    Unforgotten time
    A pain conceived
    Of theirs was mine

    Let it burn
    To wick from match
    Let them learn
    Fears that hatch
    Let it burn
    Unyielding flame
    Let it burn
    Wished them the same
    Let it burn
    Relive my pain

    And justice come
    But not to me
    For in this ash
    I will be set free
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes

    I can sense shadows drawing closer
    Surely they will devour me
    Caution comes in every step
    Waiting for the moment’s strike
    Waiting in anticipation
    Waiting here
    Through all frustration
    Who will come to rescue me
    Please provide a hand
    Can only afford assistance if it comes for free

    Why am
    I standing closer
    Why when
    It only helps conquer me
    Why can’t
    I run just a little further
    Surely I still desire to be set free

    I can see somebody coming
    Please tell me that’s your guiding light
    Lord I know I hope that you can come
    Enter quickly
    Please make some noise
    I’m lacking will
    That’s why I’m wishing
    I’m holding soul
    But my faith it is now slipping

    Did I cry
    And pray in vain
    My life’s been worthless
    Let me try again
    I’m waiting for that final hour
    Time ticks by
    It’s haunting me
    Waiting for my clock to rest
    Why is this not alarming me

    Why am
    I standing closer
    Why when
    It only helps conquer me
    Why can’t
    I run a little further
    Surely I still desire to be set free

    Trust in you
    Well are you friend
    You say you are
    So help me end
    Looking for a definite conclusion
    With my loss even more of a win
    Will you now make your decision
    Can I go
    Let more life begin
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes

    When you breath in
    Can you feel it
    Coming down
    Right upon you
    Does it smother
    Suffocate
    Life goes flailing
    Precious moments
    Too much to handle
    You can’t take it
    And with blind eye
    Senses set in
    Survival instinct
    Nowhere in reach
    You grasp
    You hang on
    Not so tight
    You are trying
    Can you earn your life

    Feeling comes down
    Sinking in
    Pleading moments
    Don’t mean a thing
    Why start begging
    Your all alone
    No hope for triumph
    It’s the way it is
    Head hung so low
    With lack of pride
    Waiting for it
    It won’t subside

    No hope
    No reason
    Shadows overcome
    No point in running
    You don’t know where your running from
    No direction
    Big blank slate
    One single entry
    That tells your fate

    Can you sense it
    Can you feel
    You know you can
    Don’t see you running
    Acceptance has sunk in
    Where can you run to
    You tried to hide
    But fleeting moments
    Have come to subside
    Internal clock
    Won’t play the game
    Time stop ticking
    Silence encompasses you
    No point in trying
    Arms are shaking
    Reluctantly
    Mind is open
    Finally accepting
    Nowhere else to turn to
    End is coming true
    Nowhere else to run to
    You know your time is through
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes

    Still I sit here
    Why am I hating
    All that’s been brought down
    Patiently anticipating
    Waiting moments
    Killing time
    Never thought
    It would take this long

    Flipping over hour glass
    Seems the same as watching the paint drying
    Boredom settles
    It makes a home
    Hatred stirred
    But doesn’t grow
    Lack of feeling
    No care
    No worries
    Even with fate drawing upon me

    Fireworks
    Subdued by missiles
    Explosions suppressed
    Never shown
    Blasting blocked
    There’ll be no explosion
    No astonished faces
    Confused in a commotion

    What will
    It take to be over
    When will
    There be conclusion
    Don’t want
    Another act
    Please call
    Need the final curtain
    Nothing much
    Is known for certain
    How do you pertain
    What is your purpose
    Show your will
    I beg from near
    End the torment
    I give in
    There’s no more fear

    Give me something
    Don’t want to pass the time
    Clock is unwound
    It’s settling time
    Don’t deny
    I do admit it
    Did not try
    I just can’t live it
    Stop the hurting
    Relieve their pain
    Bring a final moment
    Must I beg again
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    Felt it come
    It’s coming on so strong
    Light up bright
    So that we
    So we can guide from harm
    Reaching hand
    Oh steering clear
    Drag me from
    All those things we fear

    Empty eyes
    Skin so pale
    A lifeless soul
    Who am I to criticize

    Time bomb ticking
    To the world’s clock
    A social beat
    You can not stop
    Time bomb ticking
    When will I blow
    When will I pop

    Shadow creeping in
    Upon me
    Are you here to save the day
    Shadows come to overcome me
    Helping hand
    Show me now
    End these ways
    Shadow creeping down
    Consume me
    Take everything that you have to
    I understand you don’t want me to quench my desire
    I understand you do only what you have to
    Copious distain
    It does provide me
    Hatred the fuel that I need
    Hold me back
    Just end it all
    Stop my clock
    Make me the one who bleeds
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes

    So time heals?

    Well it doesn’t seem

    I fought so long

    To suppress those dreams

    I lit the match
    I returned the fee
    Am I to blame
    For setting myself free

    Penance paid
    You paid the price
    So have I
    But not just this night
    My soul has fled
    Not by the flicker of my flames
    I never had a hope
    When you stomped on me time and time again

    I’m help tight
    From arms stretched from a mighty thrown
    I never thought twice
    Couldn’t you tell
    In the lack of emotion I’ve shown
    I never asked for much
    Just the acceptance of me
    I guess that’s to much
    But now I’ll be free

    From battered and torn
    To being your thorn
    Heaven or hell
    I accept the product
    From the revenge that I’ve thrown
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes

    Retribution’s Aftermath


    Can’t seem to quench the flame
    With the tears from your eyes
    Spawning the river
    In which you now drown
    But as you wade deeper
    Seems the less that you’ve learned
    And come sweet dry shores
    Your dripping and wet
    Anguished in pain
    Misery you can not forget
    The dearest of friends
    Who lit your paths way
    Are sopping in palms
    Retribution for the ashes you’ve made

    What once caused the glimmer
    Sole light in your life
    Leaves you forsaken
    Left in the cold
    In search of establishing your mind
    And what in this world
    Had brought you unto
    The devil’s hand lashed
    Stole it all away from you
    Still for time to unwind
    Would not alter the past
    For the misdeeds that you dealt
    They forever altered mind
    Everlasting mutation of sense
    Forever masking your soul

    Standing at glimmers
    Seeing a new way to drown
    His river a refuge
    New reflection to him
    Not in the shadows
    But still giving light
    Gentle breeze and shimmers
    Glimpses of a new life
    And there in reflection
    Emotions battered and torn
    Sees this new image
    A beast within grasp
    Something new to create torment
    Or induce a few happy returns
    Is this an aftermath
    Or the same path to relive
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
