Another little song I've working on

you're the secret
shown to all
but so easily dismissed
you're my favorite poison
flowing into my soul
feeding the lust to sin

here, bondage is just a way of life
here, we're kept from the sunlight
here, walls can talk back
here, the name of God is smack

beyond twisted
completely dismembered
the hand that feeds
is the one that bleeds
we crave the...

Memories pulse like an unstable current
Thoughts spiral and collapse out of my skull
Emotions collide with words and spit themselves out
And I'm left choking with regret

All the reasons spin and twist into excuses for desire
Can't grow a thing without tilling the soil first
Can't grow out of the old clothes, if you never stand up straight
The worl...

There was once a man
Brought a light with him
To lead us all in the right direction
Tried to show us what love and peace could be
But no one liked that he didn’t wear a crown
So we gave him one and shut out his light

There was once a man
Brought a dream with him
To show us, we all bleed the same
Moving the masses and bringing hope of change
He wat...

Listened for so long
To know I'd never belong
Once upon a time was so long ago
Now I'm a memory of the living
And so

I turn the page
Mark the day
Remember the time
And what you said

Watched for too long
To see who goes and who takes
Between the blood and water
I'm the only one left with scars
And so

Love confused with rage
The one you betray
Wal...

counting clocks, hope and pray
as they number each of my mistakes
too long gone, wrong, i bleed and dissipate
you sit and stare, almost happy with the wait

seeking refuge in the plights of your needles
finding my desire in the cracks your needs, still
i'm the thought your mind refuses to accept
the lie of hate your heart strives for, but has never...

The years and the journey
The pieces cracked and worn
Halfway finished and forgotten
Waiting patiently for one
to just sit and want the whole picture

A thousand times and just one more
I'll scream inside my head
Words lost to ears busy with appearances
Steal my life, ransom my soul, and it goes

Hill after hill, just another mile
Baggage lost is s...

Today was the day
No children left to play
Today is the day
Any words are worthless to say

Thoughts beyond the point of recognition
Judgments twisted into indecision
Salvation lacked the grace of superstition

Today was the day
No children were left to play
Today is the day
Words will do nothing but get in the way

Hollow-point, solid-shell
It mak...

She's so full of needs and knees
Controlled by the pet - the irony

He likes the noise a little too much
Should just sew his mouth shut

Sometimes we climb the mountain
Just to piss in the valley
Sometimes the bridge we're burning
Is the only one that could reach us

They pick apart the scabs
But can't stand the blood
Clean hands and dirty deeds
Po...

it's just a step away
from my mind
to my hand
it's just a light behind
the eyes you've taken too kind

god's not absent
just looking the other way
still might be good
if you decided to pray

we're not leaving you
just abandoning you
to the you you deserve
the only love you've ever served

it's just a step away
from my mind
to my hand
it's just a li...

Drifting through the clouds
In a striped, paper sky
Pulling down what's left of your halo
To show the damage of each of your lies

I don't want to know your name
I just want to see you pay
I think you need to feel this
As you watch me burn down your castle

I will take your life
And steal your family
You’ll only own the hate
You impregnated in my s...

Hotter this time
So much hotter

Relief in the burn
The spike of the nerves
Sets me free

Carry the whole fucking thing up the hill
Just to suffer the next

When it rains...
That's what they say
Isn't it?

So many apologies
So many condolences
Still went through it alone
Didn't I?

They all burn anymore
Tears of anger
Of love, betrayed...lost
Of ra...

Your mouth keeps moving
With nothing really to say
You're running out of time
It's too late to start to pray

Your eyes keep blinking
But still you don't see
I don't need another savior
You're nothing new to me

Another fallen angel, another hero taken
Grab a corner and carry the weight
Love the name and forgive the crime
Curse the sky and seethe w...
