What Was Done

what have you done to me to make me die again
what did you do to pour salt on my wounds
you make me not want to try and love again
but to run and the night; howl at the moon
insanity now follows me
my life is rampant sin
what did i do to deserve this fate
can i try for your heart agian

Y?

Y
why do i see bullet shells
scattered on concrete
Y
why will they go to hell
blister in defeat
Y
why do these people sing
praise there heros couarge
Y
why are you listening
to make them feel its worth it
Y
why is my body shaped like this
instead of the 0 i deserve
it's one more worthless Y

Remembering A Dumbass Chick Named 2zday

how long has it been
since you stumbled into my life
into my house
so high you thought it was yours
did we know
you wouldnt be around much more
just long enough to matter
to be a part of everybody who knew you
now that part is ripped away
to be shot dead
by a dude who didnt even know your name
a chick called 2zday dies on monday
irony to laugh at

Hats Off To The Band

let the crowd rise in front of me
no longer in my cage
the crowd sings they stomp there feet
while my band is on the stage
my guitar sings to me
it's voice is one of rage

i can see her in the front
the one i came to meet
this is all just rock to me
but the crowd is at the edge of there seat
skinerds on electric
rob zombies on the drums
i crank up on that amp now
cuz where just having fun

Avenging Angel

Avenging angel on the stairs
Blood covered wings
Hands held in mid-air
Sword glistening
Can’t help but stare

Avenging angel sways in place
To a silent beat
Out of time and place
Save a life
Cut him down

Avenging angel falls to the ground
Bleeding from wounds and we grieve
Bleeding from wounds we can’t see

Avenging angel on the stairs
Avenging angel goes nowhere
Blood drips from white feathered wings
The king is dead

Slow Down

might slow down for a bit
i'm sick of all the same old $(-) ! +
time and time again it ends
time and time again

i'm bored
and horny and i think i need a smoke
but i'm broke
hearing the sound of a g-chord
life is a joke so

might slow down for a bit
sick of all the same old $(-) ! +
time and time again it ends
time and time again

guess and check to roll with the punches
arrogant in our morbid hunches
if i can last for one more season
i'll have a reason to keep believing
