Untitled

High-vaulted ceilings; low windowsills.
Pandered devotion; the cheapest of thrills.
White wash the walls;
Put a fresh coat on your soul.
Divine advertisement,
The only thing that makes you whole.

When Time Flows Backwards

The stars lose all of their fame
And the heroes have yet to be named
When time flows backwards.

Desperation

Hold me tight and love me
Or at least just say you will
You don't have to be convincing
I'm just looking for a thrill
Something to give me pleasure
To block out all the pain
I'll trust you with my heart and soul
While I'm asking "What's your name?"

Comeback

Don't sell me short;

I'm not done yet.

I've still got a few things up my sleeve.

You won't believe me;

You think I'm weak;

Even when I scream and shout that

I still have the strength to make this happen.

Chemistry

Why are we standing here all alone

And we're not even speaking?

I don't understand this feeling.

People talk about a thing called chemistry;

I just hope this doesn't blow up.

Lost

Where is everyone?
I don't want to be alone.
This place has been vacated
By all the people I once knew.
This loneliness is crushing me;
It's killing me;
I need some help right now.
Where is everyone?

Flip the Lights

Why is this room so dark?
Can someone shed some light in here?
I want to see what I'm scared of;
There are monsters crawling
And my fear is growing
In the darkest shadows
In the corners of my mind.

Why is this room so dark?
Can someone shed some light in here;
I want to see what I'm scared of.

Confused

Confused;
Broken;
Face down in the mud;
Lying in the wake;
The aftermath of you.

I lay in the mud,
Thinking of all--
All that has happened
Since that day
I met you (my angel).

I fell for you so hard
The ground beneath me cracked.
I tried, and tried
To gain your love;
Then finally you gave it to me.

It all was so perfect;
Hard for me to believe.
Life was worth living
For the first time in years.
I loved you far too much.

Maybe that's what pushed you away...

Puppet On Strings

I'm just a puppet on strings,
Dancing to your every whim.
You command me;
You decide my Fate.
And I'm sick of not--
Not making my own decisions.
You make them all for me,
And I can't stand it (Anymore).
Someday...
I will cut these strings.

The day has come;
I finally cut these strings
And I feel so Free...(until)
I fall in a helpless pile at your feet.

Ascend Again

Struggling, straining, striving
To make it (to the top).
Thirty feet up; halfway there.
Thirty feet down; nothing but air
Underneath to break the fall
(Until the ground).
Grip lost; found again--
Panic moment.
One thought heard:
In case of fall,
Ascend again.

Struggling, straining, striving
To keep a good (strong) hold.
Thirty feet up; halfway there.
Thirty feet down; nothing but air
Underneath to help support
(Until the ground).
Grip lost; then long gone--
Falling swiftly.
One thought heard:
In case of fall,
Ascend again.

Struggling, straining, striving
To grab something (and stop).
Thirty feet up; halfway there.
Thirty feet down; nothing but air
Underneath to stop the fall
(Until the ground).
Ground reached; pain is strong--
Crying softly.
One thought heard:
In case of fall,
Ascend again.

Struggling, straining, striving
To get up; (beat the pain).
Thirty feet up; halfway there.
Thirty feet down; nothing but air
Underneath had slowed the fall
(Until the ground).
Skin torn; muscles bruised--
Looking upward.
One thought heard:
In case of fall,
Ascend again.

Struggling, straining, striving
To make it (to the top).
Thirty feet up; halfway there.
Thirty feet down; nothing but air
Underneath to break the fall
(Until the ground).
Will strong; climbing still--
Wounded; not done.
One thought heard:
In case of fall,
Ascend again.
