It's a hot summer day in August
but theres just enough cool breeze
in the air to make it comfortable
me and Travis are out playing basketball
behind my house, like we always do
out of the wild youthful mind of adolesence
we think of what it would be like to have
a fire burning around the goal posts while we
try and make a few hoops

With lighter in hand and nothing
holding us back, we light the dry twigs
and leaves and watch in awe as the orange and
red tint colors the court like October Rust
Lost in the moment the wild red blaze takes its
own course and proceeds up the side of the mountain
into the forest

I ran for water but it was to late
the beauty of the flame had already begun
its harvest and we where merly pawns in the way
the smoke filled trees smelled of old cigars and
Prince Albert tobacco, the flames felt like
hell in flesh scorching reality

Travis couldn't handle the heat in
both sence and took off, where as I
took the toll of blame for those wild
beautiful red and orange flames
for three whole days we watched as red
and orange danced on brown and yellow and
consumed all in its fiery waltz

"Pheonix"
There she goes, her red hair blowing in the wind.
The sun-light fades and the orange hues blend.
On fire, she glides by, a red smile on her red lips;
She coyly winks, then struts on by, shakin' her hips.
Fire-red hair and her own burning bright eyes
Warm my skin by just a look, and then I realize...

She's a Pheonix,
(Bird of ash and flame.)
The ruby red lips she licks
(All apart of her dangerous game.)
Still, I know all that she'll sacrifice
(As she dreams of flying higher);
Every day she dies for life
(And every day bursts through the fire.)

She an unabashed tease and she knows it;
She's got a need for attention, and she shows it.
A flirt and a temptress, an opportunity hard to resist,
And that wicked smile of hers; memories of when we once kissed.
It's all a show, "security" in the form of a front,
But when she comes to me, I just had to be blunt...

She's a Pheonix,
(Bird of ash and flame.)
The ruby red lips she licks
(All apart of her dangerous game.)
Still, I know all that she'll sacrifice
(As she dreams of flying higher);
Every day she dies for life
(And every day bursts through the fire.)

A heart-breaker, a demoness, a succubus of men.
Names so undeserved, but that plague her to no end.
She sought peace, but there was none to be found.
She wanted a release, but had to first burn to the ground.
And every now and then, I see the tears in those fire-eyes,
And every now and then, a little of me goes with her and dies...

She's a Pheonix,
(Bird of ash and flame.)
The ruby red lips she licks
(All apart of her dangerous game.)
Still, I know all that she'll sacrifice
(As she dreams of flying higher);
Every day she dies for life
(And every day burst through the fire.)

"Control"
There she goes again,
Getting on my case.
It will never end;
Can't settle this face-to-face.
I have no choice,
No decision to make.
Here I have no voice,
And everything I do is a mistake.

It's eating away at my soul.
Tearing me apart where I should be whole.
Now my world is as dark as coal,
And in the dark I struggle for lost control.

Now and then, I hear her call,
Telling me what to do.
I can never seem to recall
Everything I hear her spew.
Pain for pain, power-egocentrical;
Rip past the flesh and see me.
The love you show is all superficial;
Now my wretched heart is bleeding.

It's eating away at my soul.
Tearing me apart where I should be whole.
Now my world is as dark as coal,
And in the dark I struggle for lost control.

If we could forget the past,
And move on to a future,
The peace would still no last,
And there would still be no cure.
We're so angry at each other,
Yet too desperate for security.
So, our differences we smother
With mesmerizing fluridity.

It's eating away at my soul.
Tearing me apart where I should be whole.
Now my world is as dark as coal,
And in the dark I struggle for lost control.

HIGH ON LIFE

He walked in from the darkness,
Baseball bat in hand.
He was it; he was really hot shit.
He was trippin', he was flippin';
He was high on life.

A bash to the skull never meant so little
And the staples mending it never so...
So interesting. Tiny pieces of faith
Holding my world together.

He always had that big trenchcoat,
Those chains and boots,
Those lovely, big strong hands.

He was it. He was really hot shit.

Perhaps he was a little drunk.
He always was, it didn't matter.
He can still summon spirits with the best of 'em.
Old Mary Will could sigh above his head,
And he'd probably just bash her head in with...
Well, with his baseball bat.

Sometimes he wore costumes and masks,
Sexy Spider-Man shirts, and that satin dress.
Some eye-makeup, and some lipstick, and more lipstick.
It's really quite transformative.
I think I'll go vomit everything I've just eaten.
He won't notice and I don't mind;
He likes me to be thinner anyway.

And yet through all the blood and staples and lipstick and vomit...
It was just so simple to see his charm,
Bound nicely in his pants.

He was, after all, really hot shit.

"Final Hour"
If I had just one wish,
I would walk with you hand in hand,
One last time; reach to you and kiss
That crimson mouth, knowing you'd understand.
If I could be one thing,
I'd be your tear, like how the rain drips,
Born from your eye, down your cheek,
And to finally die on those tender lips.

An angelic ghost of scarlet days;
My fondest memories still remain.
You, my eternal, brightly whithered flower;
Let me dream with you in this final hour.

The auburn silk that is her hair
Contrasted against her jaded dress
Flows down over the jewels she wears,
As she twirls in the wind before eternal rest.
Not of this world, and far from home,
Angels cannot dwell in this world for long,
So I held her close, before I was left alone,
And cried as her last words tell me to be strong.

An angelic ghost of scarlet days;
My fondest memories still remain.
You, my eternal, brightly whithered flower;
Let me dream with you in this final hour.

God of mercy,
God of rain,
God of love and bliss;
God of pain,
Now watching over my dearest one,
Keeping her close to Him.
Now my light, my eternal sun,
Help me live for you until the end.

An angelic ghost of scarlet days;
My fondest memories still remain.
You, my eternal, brightly whithered flower;
Let me dream with you in this final hour.

Fatality.

Here's a another Slayer song for you all. I picked this one in particular, because you're all EXPENDABLE YOUTH!

Expendable Youth
Gun down cold on a raw deal
Home turf my battlefield
In no one's way caught in a crossfire
Stray bullets can kill

Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control the principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution

Injured soul lies on the ground
Head blown off face down
Lying in a pool of blood
An accidental death homicide

Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control the principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution

Struggling to survive
The drug induced warfare
To have control and principle obsession
Expendable youth fighting for possession
Violence is only a friend

Expendable youth
Fighting for possession
Having control the principle obsession
Rivalry and retribution
Death the only solution

Just something I wrote for my wife when we were dating

It's a dark world, too much to make it alone,
So let's stick together and we'll see what we form,
Let's make a bond that's impossible to break,
No matter what measures we decide to take.

See life's complicated, add someone else it makes it worse,
I hope I make you happy, rather then be a curse.
You make me a better man, so I'm giving you the credit,
Right now I want us to grow, but you gotta let it.

You're bringing out my good, and putting away the bad,
Girl you're the greatest friend that I'll ever have.
So let's talk about how we wanna spend forever,
Do you wanna go solo or you wanna go together.

I'll offer my hand, but what you see you gotta take,
Hear me out on this one for both of our sake.
I'm willin to explain, but you gotta believe,
And trust all the things that I know I've seen.

I may not know it all, but you see one thing's straight,
If I die tonight at the pearly gates I'll wait.
You know about Adam's rib that was given to Eve?
That's like us you have something that belongs to me.

Love's a confusing emotion, but I think I understand,
Cause I'm ready to give you the world, and everything I can.
In my heart I want you to forever take a space,
And you know no other girl could ever fill that place.

Damn your smile kills me everytime it's on your face,
If I was with you I wouldn't let a moment go to waste,
Cause this thing we have, I want it to never end.
Reguardless of what lies around the bend,

It could be pain and suffering, or something on a brighter side,
As long as we're together, ain't no reason to hide.
I want you to be my best friend, my partner in crime,
And things will only get better like wine after some time.

There's a million words in the language we speak,
Even them all can't say what you do to me,
You're the love of my life, and my sunshine.
And you still make my head turn 'cause you're so fine.

I know you're not perfect, see I fall short too,
But I'm willing to bet I'd be perfect with you.
Let's sit down for a minute and look in each others eyes,
Tell you what I will predict where our future lies.

There's lots of smiles and of cries there's a fair share,
But one things stays true I will always care.
You can come see me with any of your problems,
But there's no guarentee that I will always solve them.

Just look at us, we're so perfect for each other,
Got a question, do you think you could ever be my lover?
Wait there's another, think first cause I'm askin for real,
I wanna know what you want, and exactly how you feel.

Cause the way it is to me is very clear,
You are the only one that I want near.
You are perfection and at its best,
So when I get the courage to ask you, please say yes.

"Deeper"
Started with a smile but ended with tears,
You dream away your life as you down your beers.
Instant gratification, and no soul to your life;
Harbored secrets inside, and your thoughts are rife
With the thoughts of hatred and greed,
But only because your hate is all you feed.

I want something deeper
(than this love of the flesh.)
I just want to keep her
(from a life of living death.)
I want to love her far under her skin
(and touch her beating heart)
I want something deeper within
(but I just don't know where to start.)

Always drunk, passed out in the street or at some bar.
Always taking you home, still passed out in my car.
You're so dependent on me, and I know the I should go,
But I love you too much; so much more than you'll ever know.
So I take all your curses and insults, the venom you spit;
I'm strong enough to withstand every blow that you hit.

I want something deeper
(than this love of the flesh.)
I just want to keep her
(from a life of living death.)
I want to love her far under her skin
(and touch her beating heart)
I want something deeper within
(but I just don't know where to start.)

It's all about sex, drugs, and booze,
And in your free-time, you just lay back and snooze.
That ain't a life, and it scares me as you play with your knife.
You may hate me for it, but I'm gonna give you back your life.
I'll bleed and I'll choke, but I won't back down now.
I'm gonna give you something deeper inside, but I just don't know how.

I want something deeper
(than this love of the flesh.)
I just want to keep her
(from a life of living death.)
I want to love her far under her skin
(and touch her beating heart)
I want something deeper within
(but I just don't know where to start.)

Unconditional love is so hard to find these days.
Maybe, years later, you'll look back and find your way.

Very nice everybody. I'm currently writing a book of poetry... this is a selection. I wrote it after I heard certain people were wishing bad things on me; I call it Outbreak:


When I was born, crack was king
Who was to know, the next to be
Was me
1985
Didn’t even know I was alive
2005, my time to rise
Cook me up cut me in my throat
Think of me every time you smoke
My portrait flashes in ya brain as ya body floats
By the time you choke
I arose
Time to blow
I’m still in ya lungs
I cause cancer; I’m what made you wanna fuck
I’m ya aids
Since I was raised
I been betrayed
I a strayed
I

Want revenge
To be avenged
Who is my true friends?
Do I have one?
I wanna fist fight, but too many niggas have guns
Monkey see, Monkey wanna be me
Mutha fucka please, I am the humble king
I will never sing
Always rock
When I was born he was king
So that is that
I am the human crack
I am walking aids
I’ll put you in ya grave
Never leave a trace
I’m the Trenton bred epidemic
Epic in a sense
Gifted and put to the test
I must confess I’m afraid of what I’m capable of
Because I was best-befriended by hate before I ever met love

LALA

When I dream I can see your face,
And it makes me feel alive,
Even though I wish you were here with me,
It makes me at ease,
To know that I have someone in Heaven waiting for me,
And I can still hear you say,
'LaLa I love you'
And somehow just that gets me through,
And I'm no longer sad,
I can't feel the pain in my heart anymore,

And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
On and on and on,
And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
And it makes me hang on,

Sometimes I can still feel your arms around me,
And it warms my body and makes me strong,
Then suddenly I find the will to carry on,
Just knowing that your spirit is flying through me,
Makes me realize that there's no boundaries,
And I can still hear you say,
'LaLa I love you'
And I know that you're love is still true,
Maybe you're not on this world anymore,
But you're still in my heart forevermore,

And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
On and on and on,
And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
And it makes me live on,

You are my guardian angel,
And everything good in you,
Is now good in me,
And there's no place on this Earth,
I'd rather be,
Because I know that you're here,
To protect me,

And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
On and on and on,
And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
And it makes me hang on,

And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
On and on and on,
And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
And it makes me live on,

And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
On and on and on,
And its like,
Lalalalalalalala,
My love for you goes on,
And it makes me move on.

UNBROKEN HEART

Don't think you know me,
Because you don't have a clue,
What it is that I have gone through,
And don't make assumptions about my life,
Because like the saying goes,
You'll make an ass out of me and you,
And no matter how hard I fall,
I will rise again to the call,
Though things are tangled up in my head,
I feel very much alive, no longer dead,

So there's no need to fix,
My unbroken heart,
It's full of love, no longer torn apart,
Unbroken, unbroken heart,

I'm not giving into deviance,
I refused to falter in what I believe in,
Just to stand up for a cause,
I have no grievance,
And even though at times it hurts like Hell,
When I remember how I fell,
I bandage the scrapes on my knees,
And cover up the bruises,
Clench my fists and get ready for another fight,
That may come in the night,

But there's no need to fix,
My unbroken heart,
Just like it was in the start,
My unbroken, unbroken, heart,

I am a statue, solid,
And I will not give into the wind,
Standing strong, solid stone,
Standing strong, standing alone,
Standing strong, wish I would've known,
That I could be powerful,
And that life could be so wonderful,

And through it all,
I have survived,
And even though I have my battle scars,
The one thing true to me,
Was not torn apart,
No need to fix my unbroken heart.

Here's a couple from the queens of metal, themselves, Kittie, for you.

Career Suicide

Vindiction bleeds you from every pore
Until hope runs out, until my feet leave the floor
The first trace of that too familiar feeling
Smiles and daggers, hearts are bleeding

Don't say no
I'll soon know
Don't say no
I'll soon know

Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?
Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?

Your faded costume is wearing thin
Was there no comfort in your own skin?
You always were a slow learner inside your ugly living lies
Tell yourself that next time you cry

Don't say no
I'll soon know
Don't say no
I'll soon know

Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?
Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?

Don't say no
I'll soon know
Don't say no
I'll soon know

Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?
Convictions see you through
Are you all you know?

Don't go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't do it

Until The End

Wings spread, poised
Faintly convulsing the sky
How will I know?
Bask now in this graying light
Search for that word
Something likened goodbye
How will I know
That they will cry?

We were blessed
In this lifetime
Laid to rest
All we live for
We were blessed

Voices ring on
Autumb is always at hand
Angels' corpses
Hollow and stolen so fast
I heard your voice
And it spoke softly to me
We have this time
And then we're free

We were blessed
In this lifetime
Laid to rest
All we live for
We were blessed

Take me under
Take me under

We were blessed
In this lifetime
Laid to rest
All we live for
We were blessed

"Heart-Attack"
What are you waiting for?
Want me to show you the door?
All your screaming conflicted against your dreaming
Got you all teeming and steaming
Over till you boil and burst;
Your own eternal damn curse.
Yet you ignore my pleas and flee,
Acting like your hypocrisy doesn't mean a thing to me.

You're a Heart-Attack to me,
Squeezing me till I bleed dry.
Straight for life, cutting my arteries,
And then laughing aloud as I die.

Don't pretend you don't care.
You know why you were there.
All the hate against your fate
Coupled with the mistakes it always takes
To see just how you're wrong
But after that, we still can't get along,
So go ahead and plead, watching as I bleed;
The taint of your greed becomes your only need.

You're a Heart-Attack to me,
Squeezing me till I bleed dry.
Straight for life, cutting my arteries,
And then laughing aloud as I die.

So we fight, so we hate,
So we hurt, so we relate.
Everything I am as I make my stand
Is the measure of a man as I try to understand
Your rage and unconditional tears.
I was the one who helped rid you of your fears.
I can't afford to die because I realize
Just how much you cry to yourself on the inside.

You're a Heart-Attack to me,
Squeezing me till I bleed dry.
Straight for life, cutting my arteries,
And then laughing aloud as I die.

Not written by me, but some of my favorite lyrics ever:

My Chemical Romance-"Drowning Lessons"

Without a sound I took her down
and dressed in red and blue I squeezed
imaginary wedding gown
that you can't wear in front of me
a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
We'll say goodbye the hundredth time
then tomorrow we'll do it again
tomorrow we'll do it again

I dragged her down, I put her out
and back there I left her where no one could see
and lifeless cold into this well
I stared as this moment was held for me
a kiss goodbye, your twisted shell
as rice grains and roses fall at your feet
we'll say goodbye the hundredth time
then tomorrow we'll do it again

I never thought it'd be this way
just me and you, we're here alone
and if you stay, all I'm asking for is
a thousand bodies piled up
I never thought would be enough
to show you just what I've been thinking

and I'll keep on making more
just to prove that I adore
every inch of sanity,all I'm asking for is

these hands stained red
from the times that I've killed you
and then we can wash down this engagement ring
with poison and kerosene
we'll laugh as we die
and we'll celebrate the end of things
with cheap champagne

without,without a sound
I'll wish you away

Testament - Trial By Fire

Accuse you of a crime
Sentenced to endless time
A price you have to pay
Won't get away!
Sworn in by the stand
Your rights are gone, the system's banned
They think you are a liar
A trial by fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Locked in an empty cell
Your life becomes a living hell
The river of fire flows
Time only knows!
Trapped by the flames of fury
Ordered unto by the jury
Death is their desire
Thrown in the fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

Quiver by the fiery light
Cringing as your soul ignites
The book of law's been thrown away
Starting today!
The system before the war
Is gone for now and evermore
There is no sentence higher
A trial by fire!

Hey!
This is what the people say
A new way
A trial by fire!

REFLECTION

For so long I've been livin in the past,
Trying to find some way to make it last,
Wishing I could see myself wrapped in his arms,
Whenever my eyes are opened wide,
A reflection in a mirror of shattered days gone by,
But I have to move on,
I have to begin again,
And sing a new song,
And I hope he understands,
That when he's lookin down from Heaven,
I'll always love him so,
And that it's just, time to let him go,

I was holding on in vain,
Trying to forget the pain,
But it never, never, never went away,
But today's a new day,
It's time for me to rise,
Because today I've realized,
Eventhough I loved him so,
I have to let him go,

Ever since he left this Earth,
All my days collided,
I lost all my worth,
There was no one that I confided,
Oh, but now my view has changed,
And I see all of the beautiful things,
That I have missed because I held on so tight,
And when its late at night, I won't cry for you,
Because I know that you are finally at peace,
So its time that I be at peace too,

I was holding on in vain,
Trying to forget the pain,
But it never, never, never went away,
But today's a new day,
It's time for me to rise,
Because today I've realized,
Eventhough I loved him so,
I have to let him go,

When I think of all the days that have gone by,
It almost makes me cry,
I have been living my life,
One day to the next,
But never seeing the world,
Through an open eye,
My eyes were shut so tight,
And now that I finally see,
What I have in front of me,
I can be happy,

I was holding on in vain,
Trying to forget the pain,
But it never, never, never went away,
But today's a new day,
It's time for me to rise,
Because today I've realized,
Eventhough I loved you so,
Adam, I have to let you go.

Here's a real funny one from Suicidal Tendencies. Please excuse most of the shit about "And they say:" and all that. All that's part of the lyrics to this song.

Institutionalized

Sometimes I try to do things and it just doesn't work out the way I wanted
to
I get real frustrated and I try hard to do it and I take my time and it
doesn't work out the way I wanted to.
It's like I concentrate real hard and it doesn't work out
Everything I do and everything I try never turns out
It's like I need time to figure these things out
But there's always someone there going

Hey Mike:
"You know we've been noticing you've been having a lot of problems lately. You
know, maybe you should get away and maybe you should talk about it, maybe you'll feel a lot better"

And I go:
"No it's okay, you know I'll figure it out, just leave me alone I'll figure it out. You know I'll just work by myself."

And they go:
"Well you know if you want to talk about it I'll be here you know and you'll probably feel a lot better if you talk about it."

And I go:
"No I don't want to I'm okay, I'll figure it out myself and they just keep bugging me and they just keep bugging me and it builds up inside and it builds up inside."

So you're gonna be institutionalized
You'll come out brainwashed with bloodshot eyes
You won't have any say
They'll brainwash you until you see their way.

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
to give me the needed professional help
to protect me from the enemy, myself

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything but then again I was thinking about nothing
And then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name and I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming "MIKE! MIKE!"

And I go:
"What, what's the matter"

And she goes:
"What's the matter with you?"

I go:
"There's nothing wrong mom."

And she goes:
"Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!"

And I go:
"No mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi?"

And she goes:
"NO! You're on drugs!"

I go:
"Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking."

She goes:
"No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!"

I go:
"Mom just give me a Pepsi please!"

All I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me.
Just a Pepsi.

They give you a white shirt with long sleeves
Tied around you're back, you're treated like thieves
Drug you up because they're lazy
It's too much work to help a crazy

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

I was sitting in my room and my mom and my dad came in and they pulled up a chair and they sat down

They go:
"Mike, we need to talk to you."
And I go:
"Okay what's the matter?"

They go:
"Me and your mom have been noticing lately that you've been having a lot of problems, you've been going off for no reason and we're afraid you're gonna hurt somebody, we're afraid you're gonna hurt yourself. So we decided that it would be in your interest if we put you somewhere where you could get the help that you need."

And I go:
"Wait, what do you mean, what are you talking about, WE DECIDED!? MY BEST INTEREST?! How can you know what MY best interest is? How can you say what MY best interest is? What are you trying to say, I'm crazy? When I went to YOUR SCHOOLS, I went to YOUR CHURCHES, I went to YOUR INSTITUTIONAL LEARNING FACILITIES?! So how can you say I'm crazy?!"

They say they're gonna fix my brain
Alleviate my suffering and my pain
But by the time they fix my head
Mentally I'll be dead

I'm not crazy - institutionalized
You're the one who's crazy - institutionalized
You're driving me crazy - institutionalized

They stuck me in an institution
Said it was the only solution
To give me the needed professional help
To protect me from the enemy, myself

What does it matter My insurance money's about to run out anyhow

This is from the new Broadway musical "Wicked."
(Yes, it takes place in Oz. Lemme alone. I'm dorky.)

DEFYING GRAVITY

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same.
I’m through with playing by the
Rules of someone else’s game
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It’s time to trust my instincts:
Close my eyes and leap!
It’s time to try defying gravity
I think I’ll try defying gravity
And you can’t pull me down!
I’m through accepting limits
‘Cuz someone says they’re so.
Some things I cannot change
But ‘till I try, I’ll never know.
Too long I’ve been afraid of
Losing love I guess I’ve lost
Well if that’s love
It comes at much too high a cost
I’d sooner buy defying gravity!
Kiss me goodbye, I’m defying gravity!
And you can’t pull me down!

So if you care to find me,
Look to the Western sky!
As someone told me lately,
Everyone deserves a chance to fly!
And If I’m flying solo,
At least I’m flying free.
To those who’d ground me,
Take a message back from me:
Tell them how I’m defying gravity!
I’m flying high, defying gravity!
And soon I’ll match them in renown
And nobody, in all of Oz,
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!!!!

"The Long Road to Happiness"
It appears like a phantom whisper,
Telling me of joys over the horizon;
All this time, thinking I'd have never missed her,
But truth is truth, and the knowledge all ties in.
My peace, my joy, my God, my soul,
All appear so far from me and so far from hope.
I feel these nights of restless sleep taking their toll
Even as I feel myself hanging on by the end of my rope.

Faces and facades fading fast in the full light,
Wisps of smog and smoke smiling for but an instant;
My long road to happiness isn't a pleasure walk; it's a fight,
And I'm searching so very hard for her again; I'll never relent.
Light of my life and darling of my spirit,
My weeping heart struggles for a new start;
A part of my past, I can't help but fear it
But my lonely heart won't eternally roam the dark.

At every turn, a new madness to undertake;
I search to have someone to protect and fight for;
These demons won't give me rest from my mistakes,
And I drown cold and lonely in the rain the night pours;
Stubborn and stupid, yet too idealistic to give in,
My eternal struggle continues down the long, solitary road.
My dearest one, I still can't accept to be forgiven
Because I follow a different path, one lived by my own code.

The long road to happiness is rife with suffering;
Pain so unbearable that many give up and die.
My own is nothing now, and I pray that the love I bring
Can give her the will to fight on; the will to survive.
I'll fight these demons alone and unarmed,
Ignoring all that I feel and all that I bleed.
My waking princess will not be harmed
And to love her is my desire and my only need.

So sleep, now, princess, and dream of paradise,
The end of the long road to happiness.
My maxim of life is solidified; to live as men and not mice,
Living a full life and, with her, happy deaths.
No! Don't go yet! Please stay by my side!
There's too much left for me to say!
All these feelings tucked inside that I hide
Must reach your heart before I finally die!

Don't ever dream your life away, but hold true to your desires,
Aspiring to be the person God means for you to be.
Don't worry; I'll protect you and carry you through the fire
And I'll be there to make you smile and make you happy.
Angel of my life and siren of my soul, spread your wings and fly.
May your eternal flight lead you to the haven you seek, so breathless.
My beautiful one, let not the tears flow from your eyes.
Weep not for me, because I have traveled my own hard road to happiness.

Fatality.

"CRUCIFIED"
My strength is fading, always waiting
For my God to come and save me.
I'm so forsaken, the hate I've taken
Leads me down a lonely road of eternity.
A cross on my back, roses under my feet;
Faith condemned and strength denied.
Nothing but bitter laughter; none will weep,
Not for one so stubborn and strong inside.

I have been Crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
But he lives in me, and I live for him, resurrected anew.
My purpose still undecided, still I have my message to give;
I pray that you come to realize just how much was sacrificed for you.

Tears and mud flow down my face, amidst my disgrace,
Blood spilling into my eyes;
Through the crimson veil I see the blurriness of His face,
Hearing his lone voice as he cries.
"My God, my God! Why has thou forsaken me?!"
Pure love never before so crimson red;
All the years in limbo has finally taken me
To a path of understanding of why God bled.

I have been Crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
But he lives in me, and I live for him, resurrected anew.
My purpose still undecided, still I have my message to give;
I pray that you come to realize just how much was sacrificed for you.

We don't remember, we burn his name from our lives;
We don't want a God to be accountable to.
Man is his own god, but man is corrupt, and the lie thrives,
And we fall, again and again, until we remember the truth.
More than an accident, more than a twist of fate,
Man has purpose and significance, guaranteed by blood.
Many still call it a sacrifice in vain, that he was a mistake,
But I stand alone in the cold, the knowledge running in my blood.

I have been Crucified with Christ and I no longer live,
But he lives in me, and I live for him, resurrected anew.
My purpose still undecided, still I have my message to give;
I pray that you come to realize just how much was sacrificed for you.

What does it mean to die for You?
If You are nothing, then our lives are through.
The most You could do was die to make me anew;
The least I can do is to live my life for You.

Fatality.
