The Weeping Angel

Eloquently masquerading,
all her hope is slowly fading,
she sees her world through swollen eyes,
she longs to smile, but only cries.

She weeps because of what you've done,
to you she's nothing more than fun,
you left her with her heart in hand,

without you she can hardly stand.

a pill to numb the pain inside,
a pill to boost her failing pride,
a pill for dear old mom and dad,
a pill for always feeling sad,

a pill for being second best,
a pill to help her get some rest,
a pill for being all alone,
a pill to find a better home,
a pill to show him he was right,

a pill to end it all tonight,

another pill is all she'll need,
a message left for all to read,
Dead eyes reflect a world untrue,
Alone forever without you.

Was It Worth the Wait?

Words unspoken, resound with dissonance,

Their echoes, falling, through a time of no resistance,

Where beauty rested in the subtle, in the harmony,

An era over, modest leaders, dealing honesty.

next came the ignorant men, parading fear and oppression,

slaughtering the children, a destructive obsession,

that ends only in death, races pushed to near extinction,

the soldier only killing for a medal of distinction.

a young man dies at the hand of a stranger,

one who fights for his family, their future in danger,

Forced into this battle, Thrown into the fray,

Looked to the horizon, for the dawn of a new day.

Outrage growing, to a deafening frequency,

a country built off of corporate indecency,

the rich wash their hands of moral obligation,

as we look to the sky for our own salvation.

We had laid on your shoulders, the choices and burden,

Our futures in question, The outcome uncertain,

We’ve waited a lifetime, and what is our prize?

We watch as the power we held slowly dies…

The Fear Lives On

I'm trapped,
tangled in the lies that you've sewn,
you tied me up and left me alone,
so i sit in the dark, with my hands bound tight,
helpless and alone, no one to turn to,

silence,
not a single sound reaches my ear,
as if the whole world just disappeared,
it's driving me insane, so I scream into the night,
I call out your name,

deafening,
the noise that my one word makes,
i scream till my voice starts to shake,
i lose all control, the tears start to fall,
And I cry for what seems like days,

blinded,
Far in the distance i see,
a bright light is heading towards me,
it shines on my face, burns my swollen eyes,
allows me to see what has always been there,

twisted,
this world that my eyes focus on,
the sadness and anger are gone,
This land is alive, with the beasts of the night,
I wish i could forget, that horrible sight,

terror,
the only emotion i feel,
my wrists bound by serpents of steel, breath caught in my chest, I look for the truth,
this place can't be real,

Dark,
the light disappears from this place,
all is gone without leaving a trace,
but i just can't forget, the fear still lives on,
I am never alone in my head.

Insomnia

Nine o clock
I lay down in bed
thoughts of the day
filling my head
the seconds creep by
and shadows grow
engulfing my room
and all that i know

Ten o clock
I still lie here awake
I long for the sleep
to take me away

Eleven o clock
you won't let me rest
just let me gooooooo

When I close my eyes
I see your face
Your burning gaze
I can't escape
but when i sleep
you haunt my dreams
please let this end
just let me be

I roll over and stare
into the bright red glow
one fifteen
how did i know?

two o clock
I start to weep
you broke my heart
you stole my sleep
when will this end?
I wish i knew
i'm crying here
because of you

Its two thirty
and Im still here
i close my eyes
and you appear
i speak to you
but you make no sound
you only stareeeeeee

When I close my eyes
I see your face
Your burning gaze
I can't escape
but when i sleep
you haunt my dreams
please let this end
just let me be

(guitar beeping)
the alarm goes off
and ends my pain
its five o clock
But i don't wake
I'm trapped with you
inside my head
I'm fast asleep.

Left In The Dark

So numb and empty inside,
just a shadow drifting through my life,
I'm fading into this dark, grim world,
and I can't break free from its grasp,

It's seeping into my soul,
Taking hold and it won't let go,
this poison flows through my veins,
My blood runs black, my skin turns grey,

all the colour is gone,
A dull existence i can't endure,
I need to take back my life,
and leave this land far behind,

every time I am almost free,
the dark surrounds me, pulls me back down,
And, I can't fight this forever,
in the end,
the ties to my world,
my home,
will sever,

All is lost...

All is gone...

All is dead...
you...

left me in the dark.

The Void

you built this wall.....
this wall to protect us,
Whoever said......
that we were even in danger,
i never knew.......
i could feel this alone,
i miss your touch.....
and your beautiful smile,
but I know.....,
that you feel the same way,
so why do you keep me away?

you.......
live on in your sorrow,
I...........
think I'm going insane,
we.....
both feel this wall widen,
This emptiness growing,
this void never closing,

I......
think I just solved the problem,
There......
there's a hole in this wall,
maybe.......
If i can fit my hand through it,
I can reach out and touch you,
and make sure you're alive....

I found your hand through the hole,
It's wrapped around mine,
the darkness is gone,
everything will be fine,
the wall starts to crack,
and now its tumbling down,
I will never let go,
I will never look back.

Tired of Waiting

hiding the truth,
behind a mask,
living a lie,
forgetting the past.

running away,
leaving behind,
a problem to solve,
an answer to find.

ignorance muddles,
the thoughts of the wise,
polluting their reason,
and twisting their minds.

if only you'd given,
a little more time,
my words would be clearer,
my reasons defined.

so lend me your ear,
or leave me alone,
I'm tired of waiting,
my intent must be known.
