Memory For Him And Me
Little buddle of joy wrapped up so tight
My only memory of our final night
That you left hurts, I'm not gunna lie
But you left me with one last lullaby
You were always so excited about life
Plans of a family and future, kids and a wife
We shared a dream so prepared for the time
That we would look after our own, yours and mine
And look at what have you left me with as a reminder
You left me and how we parted could have been kinder
I can't reach you any longer, alone waiting for your return
But I know you won't turn back, and the truth burns
Not the fact you left because I know you had no choice
They said my name was the last word you were able to voice
That's what twists in my gut, the knowledge that you didn't see
The chubby little face and angelic little laughter from our baby

The 'Me' I See And The 'Me' I Can Be
I look at you and I hate what I can truly be
There's something I just can't let them see
But you are the only one that can call me out
The only one that can tell me what to think about
My bones are twisted in the most atrocious of ways
My heart warped more than these lies can ever say
I see the flame that burns so bright, beautiful eyes
Even more sanctified with the tears which mark your cries
Yet you stand by my side, solemn in forced acceptance
And with mingled blood we show our disturbed repentance
You wrap me in a warm embrace as I relive our demise
I won't stop because only this blood can ever satisfy
I watch, trapped within my contorted, clouded mind
As a being takes over my body, a body I can't find
It rips through such snow like skin, where do I begin?
At the end I wake and I scream as I relish in our sin

What we see
I sit here in sickly silence and endlessly wait
I feel the slowing heartbeat and curse our fate
When I see that being staring back at me
It brings me to tears; I'm shown what it can be
You try but you will never understand this
I try to break the truth with an iron fist
However it seems that I'm just not that strong
Even after being tortured, tormented for this long
I don't care that you won't listen, even if you try
I won't make it easy; every breath I take is a lie
So why should I care what looks back at me here
Why do I notice the screams or the putrid stench of fear?
They can run from this, it's so easy for them to flee
But to me it's a sight that, even if I was blind, I would see
Don't lie to me; I live in a world where lies are my truth
You can't fool me; I'm more an adult than an ignorant youth

Loving You
Don't fall in love you would always say
But I still can't see a better way
For the little things you did for me
They made my heart and soul feel free
But still you would say in no uncertain way
That if I fall in love I would live to pay
A price that would leave me raw and torn
Because of a misery of which so many mourn
What I didn't understand that fateful day
Was that it wasn't for me that I should dismay
Nor for my life that love would take
But still a loss that would leave me broken in its wake
But still I found love on a rainy day in May
A love with which fate would later play
Her eyes would shine with hope and pain
And she would hold me close, begging to remain sane

Voice
There's a lot that you preach and say you stand for
Kindness and generosity but you still have to settle a score
Skilled with the a blade sharper than a lethal sword
Freedom of speak, the only weapon you can afford
So many sit in silence as your opinions are shared
Words that are laced with poison but still they truly care
No one can tell just what your tune can truly sell
The only ones free are the ones whose hearing time quells
Yet there is still one whose voice speaks volumes through yours
As silence descends so does the truth hidden before
This other voice speaks and all has been restrained
But in a less violent way as those that you tamed
Violent may not be the correct term to use here
No, maybe I should show them the terror and fear
That held them so restricted in the cold and the dark
Show them the true power of your words possessive mark

In The Arms Of Boredom
I am bored, so indescribably, detestably bored
I can no longer find an activity which strikes a chord
I sit then stand, walk forever but go nowhere
So when you find entertainment please do share
Do you think I would sit here in silence if I could flee?
What will it take to make you see that this isn't really me?
Im not some hyper kid that is happy with a book or toy
No not anymore will I play that deceitful little ploy
Should I show you what this dullness can cause?
Because at the moment it seems like livings on pause
There is nothing left to cause this blood to flow
There is nothing that I really wish to do or know
I hold this phase in utter annoyance and contempt
It seems the whole worlds breathing but im held exempt
But me being me would mean that I am unpredictable
Not the average person or just another one of the rabble

Clockwork Emotion
Clockwork emotion, fury causing time to tick away
Betrayals and wars bring around love in this day
There is blood on our hands, created a disaster
A wound left to fester causes the disease faster
Can't be alone any longer in this dark war zone
Everyone has an evil side a perfect little red clone
Everything you refuse to accept they use to mould
This world is everything they made, not what we hold
Lock away your worries, blue and red, careful little pill
Dreams, they hold so much reality, insanity used to kill
Break a little more, words that are told with no regret
Frozen in the mind, burnt in time, truths that we forget
It's time that we open that box, fight our own battles
Take it back, speak out against and see their cage rattle
Nothing can stop the words that flow now, don't try
Step through the mirror, let the fear go, broken lie

A New Type Of Family
Theres not much for me to say anymore
You closed off my words with that opened door
Left so much undone and a flame slowly burns
Hoping for closure now I know you wont return
There's a myth in the midst of an island long forgotten
A simple fountain that holds treasures long begotten
They told you where to go and they told you lies
They told you a mean to your own demise
Why do you listen to those with no fact or face?
Leaving with no goodbye just a tightly packed case
Like a child on their first trip to the sea-side, growing expectations
To find just a simple trip to the dentist, a demonic revelation
They told you of gold and silver and eternal life
Now they train you for the arena with sharpened knives
Their lies caged you in more than a metaphorical meaning
Blindly following them to a life filled with silent screaming

Criminal Mind
Did I hurt you? Oh I am sorry… Truly I am
Such a shame then isn't it, that you are a sham
What? Did you think I believed your pretty little lies?
Oh darling don't be foolish I have my own set of eyes
Let me walk free, you know you have no hold
No grip on my soul not after the stories I've told
A simple little girl looking for her perfect soul mate
Broken by a devious little boy who likes playing with fate
So I guess this is our goodbye is it not?
A little confession before I leave you here to rot
They will never know the truths I said are deceptions
So I guess these tears are for my own protection
Aren't you happy? You get judged for my mistakes
Of course it was planned I cant have this looking fake
You hurt me over and over again and now you get to pay
Don't worry though you get to be the villain in my play

Eyes Open
Eyes open, wait for the new day
Stars in the sky take the pain away
I beg of you, I plead with you
Show me what is real, what is true
I've waited so long in this darkened room
Waited until all I know lay in wooden tombs
Still I wait for you, you promised me life
You told me tales, a world without strife
Sweet words of a life that held much anticipation
Now I stay here with nothing but deluded imagination
So my voice is silent and my trust lost
Is this what was meant by ‘at any cost'?
Silent I shall be but beware I shall not be stilled
Shadowed I will stay but my lust will be fulfilled
So examine what you take with a critical eye
Now it's too late to weave together a sincere lie
