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.

Generation, Illiterate

They've watched our spirits fall,
the tides never turning,
they long to kill us all,
are we never learning?----

We've closed our eyes this time,
willingly submitting,
Is apathy a crime,
worth committing?

The past, meant to serve as a guide,
with all the follies of our fathers,
etched in bloody script,
and it's the gift, sent to a generation,
illiterate.

Silence the revolution,
always taking, not giving,
making no contribution,
is life worth living?

Enslave the innocent,
work their fingers to the bone,
building the government,
we never should have known.

The past, meant to serve as a guide,
with all the follies of our fathers,
etched in bloody script,
and it's the gift, sent to a generation,
illiterate.

You may think that we are broken,
but we only feign compliance,
and just beneath the surface waiting,
are the seeds of our defiance.

The past, meant to serve as a guide,
with all the follies of our fathers,
etched in bloody script,
and it's the gift, sent to a generation,
illiterate.

Panic

Tromping through brush,
Gathering speed,
We were alive,
We were so free.

Our innocence pure,
We longed for the day,
To find out the answers,
To figure our way.

But when the time came,
To each make our choice,
You made the decision,
I had no voice.

I sat by myself,
Alone and afraid,
Who could i trust,
I felt so betrayed.

The girl of my dreams,
Taken by my best friend,
My life a cruel joke,
That just wouldn't end.

But as I began,
To look past my shame,
I realized this wasn't,
Just some silly game.

Your happiness was,
So important to me,
You deserved one another,
You deserved to be free.

Apologies spoken,
Our friendship regained,
Thanks for the patience,
I could never repay.

Carry Your Weight

the doubts inside my head,
i fear will never fade,
the choices that i made,
will last beyond today.

And this decision can't be taken back,
without a cost,
The price is more than you can spare,

So if you care to change your mind,
you might as well,
but don't expect me to be fair.

For i have suffered for you everyday,
through all the pain,
although you never seemed aware,

I broke my back carrying you through the years,
my sweat and tears,
am i the only one to care?

Admittance

Flying crimson gingerbread,
little soldiers lying dead,
children mourning their demise,
scooping out their candy eyes.

Where am i and who are you?
what am i supposed to do?
sense and reason going under,
lost beneath the neon thunder.

Dancing serpents in the room,
climb out windows, through the door,
the beasts constrict around my neck,
Suffocate!

Painting on a foolish grin,
hides the pain and tears within,
in the mirror, watch it dry,
sealing shut our very eyes.

Wooden giants tell the tales,
Sawed in two and filled with nails,
The elders are the first to die,
Their knowledge lost...

Innocent youth, or so they seem,
Until you spy upon their dreams,
Watching as our sanity falls,
Laughing as they kill us all.

Laughing as they kill us all.

Laughing as they kill us all.

-Sorry about not posting last night, my internet was down.

The Youth of the World

Clear your eyes and clear your head,

look to your brothers lying dead,
they fought a lie,
they died in vain,
The war machine has gone insane.

In poverty,
there lies the spark,
the hate, the rage,
the growing dark,

a thirst for power,
never fades,
the debt they,
work their lives to pay.

the tyrant lends,
a helping hand,
choose from the poor,
the weakest man.

with morals outweighed,
by a feeling of pride,
continue the cycle,
and join with their side.

they train him to fight,
in a war with no end,
children with weapons,
only playing pretend.

when he reaches the front,
and he finally sees,
the bodies are piled,
the blood flowing free.

they've killed all the men,
and now who'll take their places,
the children with guns,
and tears on their faces.

his mind becomes lost,
and he lets his gun fall,
he turns from the terror,
away from it all.

he runs from the battle,
he sobs and he cries,
he hears as the youth,
of the world slowly die.

he thinks of the fathers,
the families will lack,
he feels as a bullet,
flies into his back.

darkness consumes,
the light of the day,
he dies as a child,
alone and afraid.

Parasite

buried underneath your skin,
i've worked my way,
sunk deeper in,
Until you forgot that i was there,
feeding off this life we share.

You scratch to try and set me free,
but all it does,
is make you bleed,
I'm the pain inside,
I'm something you can't lose.

When I leave your crippled heart,
I'll sneak away,
back to the dark,
but your scars will hold,
the memory of my stay.

the pain inflicted last forever,
The gashes heal,
but the heart will never,
every day the tears still flow,
salt in the wounds of a tortured soul.

the only escape you have is death,
swift and painless,
ends your breath,
swallow the pill of your dying race,
forget your life and forget your faith.

Auditory

Tears flowing down my face,
drown the love inside,
even after all this time,
the feeling still won't die.

Torturing my broken heart,
every words a pin,
imbed themselves within my flesh,
piercing through the skin.

All this pain,
It's all your fault,
you lied to me,
to trick my heart,
you made me love,
you never cared,
and as i died,
you only stared.

Illusions

If my lips were to speak would they tell you,

Exactly what you long to hear?

Because you’d rather live an illusion,

Than have to cope with the fear.

Those lies weave a beautiful story,

One that you wish you could live,

You immerse yourself in the darkness,

Filling your lungs with the sin.

As you breathe deep the poison I’ve fed you,

You forget what reality was,

My words shape your every emotion,

And you lose the true meaning of love.

But when you wake up, you will realize,

It was only a matter of time,

Before the fog cleared and you were left standing,

Alone, with nowhere to hide.

Everyone Has a Choice

Close your eyes and lose control,
of consciousness and all you know,
your hopes and dreams all start to flow,
and no one knows where they will go...

you've lost yourself in thoughts of treason,
side with law, or side with reason,
legality is not in question,
you must choose your own direction.

choose the path of moral salvation,
serve your country and lead the nation,
beat rebellion out of the youth,
watch them fight with fist and tooth,

their muffled screams just raise morale,
and as they bleed you wonder how,
they ever thought they had a chance,
this gruesome never ending dance.

shift the scene, you're dressed in black,
today you're staging the attack,
with brothers marching side by side,
your heads held high, eyes burn with pride,

Corporations, who feed off oppression,
destroying them is our obsession,
the faceless rebel, we fight as one,
the time is ours, your day is done.

but in the end its all your call,
start the war, or be its downfall,
take up a banner, or take up a gun,
Rebellion starts with only one.

Speak Your Mind

Was reason ever on your side?
The choices made,
Never made sense,

But what is sense?
Ideas are nothing,
Without someone’s imagi----

Nations,
Crumble to the ground,
every brick resounding,
through the silence that,
you worked so hard to keep----

Keep quite,
and you won't have to die,
Go on living this lie,
your strongest weapon,
is your voice-----

So scream until they can't take anymore,
It only takes a single voice to start the war,
just speak your mind,
and you are free,
open your eyes,
and you will see,
that the truths worth dying for.

wake up,
and see what you've become,
desensitized and numb,
you sit and watch,
as they destroy all that you--

Know,
No this can't be real,
i wish that i could feel,
they medicate the,
hearts and minds--

So scream until they can't take anymore,

It only takes a single voice to start the war,
just speak your mind,
and you are free,
open your eyes,
and you will see,
that the truths worth dying for.

Stop,
And look at what you've done,
i hope you had your fun,
because your time's,
already passed.

So scream until they can't take anymore,
It only takes a single voice to start the war,
just speak your mind,
and you are free,
open your eyes,
and you will see,
that the truths worth dying for.

One Nation, Under Control

Like crumbs,
from the lips,
of the rich,
that are eaten by the peasants of the shadows,
a treasured gift from the greedy and the shallow,
spare some change and they'll treat you like their savior,
there is no need to mind your behavior,

because they are the weak,
they act as the cattle,
they wage the war,
and they end every battle,

if you hand them a gun,
they'll fire away,
but if you build them a church,
they'll kneel and obey.

the few who decide that freedom is best,
get locked up tight, until they confess,

that your word is surpreme,
their scheme was a theme,
of a dream set to end,
a country to defend,
so back to the front,
another witch hunt,
it will end all the same,
consumed by the flame,
found a weak minded man,
plant a bomb in his hand,
with a ticket and plans,
he'll fulfill your demands,
scare the sheep from their sleep,
there's a profit to reap,
kill the women and children,
so the oil is cheap,
and the debt that we've made,
it grows with the day,
another man dead,
is another cent paid,
revolution is near,
the source of your fear,
your system will crumble,
and all you hold dear,

but for now we just wait,
at the mercy of fate,
as we sift through the dirt,
for the scraps of the state.

Hourglass

everything around me,
crashing down,
I can't control it,
i should have known...

that time just keeps on slipping,
and no matter how I try,
I can't stop the clock from ticking,
that endless noise,
just won't stop picking,
at my mind.

So end this,
I can't take this,
it's driving me insane,
and I don't know how much longer I can last,
please save me,
don't betray my,
trust and leave me lying here,
waiting for your touch.

the clock strikes midnight,
my patience fades,
I pretend you will be back soon,
and I won't have to be,
so alone and in the dark,
forever silent,
my only friend the time,
will keep me company.

So end this,
I can't take this,
it's driving me insane,
and I don't know how much longer I can last,
please save me,
don't betray my,
trust and leave me lying here,
I guess you must be late.

I don't know how I will survive,
locked inside your hourglass,
every grain's another lie,
locked within your hourglass,
I am slowly buried alive,
locked inside your hourglass,
this will be the place i die,
(my final resting place)
forever in your hourglass.

Their Words Were Never Meant To Enlighten

Stifled by oppressive masters,
Provoking our world’s disasters,
Destroying all opposing forces,
Foreseeing all the possible courses,

Wave their banners high,
And prepare yourself to die,
Wrap yourself around the finger,
Of a fool with no eyes.

Truth lies beneath the surface,
I will show you the purpose,
You serve a greater power,
To kill those selfish cowards.

Conforming to ideals,
set down my those untroubled,
Their word is less than subtle,
Their word is less than subtle.

They motivate the masses,
to fulfill their selfish needs,
ears deaf to your pleads,
consumes but never feeds.
