Learn to Survive

Cry for the loss of your mother, your brother
Oh, Cry for the loss of you dear little sister
And Cry for the loss of your sweet one and only
Please, Cry for the loss of everything good

What you love has been taken away from you
The flood waters foretold of came a year too soon
There is nothing left here worth retrieving
Before you drown, too, at least try and save yourself

Lear to swim, learn to fly, learn to breath underwater
The knowledge will grant you the sweet life again
As long as you want to can try to tread water
Monsters swimming underfoot will surely bring you down with them

Learn to fight, learn to live, learn to keep them away from you
The knowledge will keep you alive one day longer
As long as you want you can try to swim to the shore
Weak and weary bones have never made it very far

Persistence

Quietly, the angel sighs
Looking up through the star-streaked skies
She wants to fly
She spreads her wings, again she tries
But she falls softly to the ground
She wants to cry but makes no sound
Looking to the sky, knowing she can win
She tries to fly again and again
Now her patience is almost gone
And she feels she can't go on
But one more time she tries to fly
And before she knows it, shes in the sky
She happily smiles, proud that she won
Proud she had the courage to continue on

Porcelain

She's waiting by the phone
You're never calling home
Now she's all alone
Madness enters her tone

She walks down the hall
Noticing it all
She's running with the ball
Face of a porcelain doll

And strangly enough
You're not so tough
But you've got all this stuff
And it make you feel rough

Drink up all the gin
Coz the answer lies within
Covered with blood red sin
Dripping on the porcelian skin

Stay With Me Here

Stay with me here
Wrap your arms around me tight
Keep me warm
This long and wintry night

Stay with me here
Don't you dare go
Outside, can't you see
the deep blankets of snow

Stay with me here
Please don't leave me
Outside, can't you see
The wind in the trees

Stay with me here
Please don't depart
For if you do
It will break my heart

Stay with me here
Wrap your arms around me tight
Keep me warm
This long and wintry night

Stranded

Stranded
Yes, I am all alone
I'm just wishing
There were someplace I could go
Some place to be with you
Maybe I could be happy

Is that just too much to ask?
Am I not good enough for you?
I guess thats just to bad...for me

Why won't you love me like I love you?
Tell me, do you even care
What happens to me?
Do you even care
When it all comes down
Will you even care about me
When I crash and burn

The Best I Could Do

The patience and the time
The rhythm and the rhyme
The love and the trust
The fear and the lust

Where did they go?
They've left us alone
They've gone forever
Though it seemed we never
Got a chance
To learn the dance
To know more about each other
If we might've been lovers

But our time has past
We tried to make it last
So, I hope the best that I could do
Was good enough for you

The Life I Lead

Gaze upon me in this state
A fearful mess of love and hate
I try to cry, but the tears don't come
All this hate, I want undone
You come for me, I try to hide
In the darkness I now abide
My love you took, my life you stole
You beat me down, you stabbed my soul
All this torture, now is done
My life ends like the setting sun

The Vision

She sees a gun, a Vision in her head,
The metal shines and the ghosts scream
Filling her head with shattered thoughts
She cocks the gun, and aims around
She points it at him
He cowers. She cries. She closes her eyes.
He falls into a crimson stain.
She looks at her hands.
Black powder. She rubs and rubs
It won't go away. No soap or scrubbing will remove it.
And all that's left, is a Vision

For Tiffany

When my head's in the clouds
You pull me back down
When I am on fire
In your water I drown
I'm crazy at times
Some say I'm wild
But all you do
Is drive me mild

When I am happy
When I'm really alive
You slice up my joy
With razor sharp knives
I jump for joy
You put me down
I'm only happy
When you're not around

It should be a sin
To make someone so mad
And I know you take pleasure
In the times when I'm sad

Young Lust

The puppy love is fleeting
Sweet with a bitter aftertaste
We crawl into each other
Our bodies filled with lust and haste

Struggling with each other
Sinking to the least
The lust that burns within us
Turns us into enraged beasts

Fighting our way to the top
Pulling each other down
In each other's bodies
We both begin to drown

Eager and breathless
We lay in my bed
Holding each other
Feeling half dead

Nothing But You

I understand that you don't.
I comprehend what you won't.
I realize that it's not good enough for you.
You want perfection from these pools of blue
As these feelings and emotions surface
I feel lost and crowded in my own space
I long to stretch!
I long for space!
I long for air!
But to be without me would leave you in despair
I know I should leave and go off on my own
Still, I'm frightened;
I don't want to be alone
I no longer know myself, only us two
Just like you want it, I see nothing but you

Penny For Your Thoughts

"Penny for your thoughts?"

"I'll tell you later"
I keep on folding
His stormy sea engulfing me

"Penny for your thoughts?
Maybe two?"

"It's just that
You look so sexy
When you're domestic"

I blush
Hesitation
We touch
Lip to tongue
Satin and velvet
Tossed upon the angry waves

I am so into you
I'm lost in a web of emotions
But I'm smart enought to say
I'm really just infatuated

I cannot focus
I cannot think
I cannot eat or sleep

Do you notice?
Do you see the way I stare
I try my best to look
Inconspicuous

Sweet Nectar of the Gods

I open the drawer
The sweet nectar of the gods
I partake
Though, I promised myself none
I think and close my eyes
And I try...
I remember what it was like
To feel real

Dangerous

Dangerous

In partly, it's decided what will be and what can never be: those who decide, who have supreme rule and ultimate disregard for any such rule, have declared intentions to abolish the institution where you have placed all your faith and trust.
