A cold Winter night... A loneliness only a few              -(Very few)- Can understand Along with a great        [sadness... One        [that sprouts From inner        [pain From outter        [pain From a sense        [of numbness Soaking        [my whole being Enveloping it        [like gelid water From a frozen lake As    I      Sink             ... ---To the bottom---

In the crowd I can hide Blend in Look "normal" There I can be Just another nobody That's only a mask, however I keep it close by So I can use it When I need to be invisible In this masquerade That is our world

We went for a walk on that cloudy day Filling each other with joy and laughter That was the way it had always been I finally found the connection I was after And all my reservations melted away If only I knew what was to come thereafter Or how I’d be haunted by your grin My heart sure was easy for you to shatter Trying to make sense of our demise Only led me to despise you even more I am done trying to pick up the pieces I’d rather smash them into the wall And stand there completely speechless As I watch the blood fall from my hands Maybe then my only weakness will be Having the emotional capacity of a machine You stopped retur

We only get to live once One chance to create a better world With the hope in our hearts Along with the energy of our bodies And the kindness of our souls We gain the knowledge and experience To make our transient existence Into something wonderful No matter the circumstances of our birth We must use the gift we're given The gift of life To give others a chance To smile, to be happy So in the end we can look back And face death Knowing that our life was worth living

Lick your lips and taste the blood It always was your favorite drug Old habits are impossible to break And will follow you to the grave I see your body slinking in the dark Ready to jump out of the woodwork Wipe that smirk off your twisted face And make your final move already I don’t like to be kept waiting Bullets are flying through the air Leaving nothing but blood in their wake One more shot, one more body on the floor Everyone’s life is yours to take I can see the predator in your eyes As the body count continues to rise I’m ready to silence your battle cries You may be as slick as a deadly snake But don’t be f

I lie in bed with dark thoughts assaulting my mind Waiting on the day when my brain stops hitting rewind Cause life isn’t supposed to revolve around mistakes At least that’s what they tell you to cure all of your aches Ain’t it funny how real life is fueled by white lies That reveal themselves to you once your innocence dies The outside world becomes more like hell with each passing day Everyone is an assassin, ready to kill anyone who is competition You’ll only find peace when you sleep and let your mind drift away Cause heaven is a fantasy land that’s too elusive to understand Deception is like an old friend

You’re nothing but a shooting star Searching for a new destination Don’t let yourself go too far Or you’ll fade into oblivion Comfort is an orbiting satellite That dances in your gravitational pull Pain is the vast emptiness of space Confining you to a universe of isolation It’s better to burn out than fade away But it looks like you’ve done both already Hiding behind a constellation of lies Will lead to your inevitable demise The master of disguise has been exposed As a miserable and untalented fraud Who thought they wielded remarkable power Well, heed this warning and duck for cover I’ve got a supernov
