Valley of Thorns (Early 2006)

Mood: meh
Thousands of pricks all around me,
Protecting the vanity,
Guarding their everloving rose.
Stabbing the impulsive,
Wanting to just live,
To grow naturally and then decompose.
There's a valley where they all grow,
Wanting to take control,
Of what, nobody really knows.
All we know is their beauty,
Wrapped in their brutality,
But that's only what they show.
What they show...
[SHORT INSTRUMENTAL]
Within each rose is a tale to be told,
Memories of the days and age of old,
Before everything became so cold.
Struggle, pain and pride are what they feel,
Fighting for what they think is real,
Deepening wounds that just wont heal.
No matter what they do, they're not to blame,
All's fair in this war that's just a game,
Ruining this valley all the same...
[DRUM BEAT]

Wanting to take control,

But not everything is as it shows.

Mood: unstable
Back from the hell I thought I faced,
Standing torn and alone as my heart raced.
Thoughts of her only brought me pain,
Slipping farther from the light, I couldn't be called sane.
I opened my eyes and I saw I wasn't alone,
Merely blinded by the darkness, and taken from my home.
As I looked around, I was so relieved,
COming back from a world where I was deceived,
[CHORUS]
Don't let it take you; it seems so real,
The darkness steals you away, changes how you feel.
Cast yourself back to the light, and be redeemed,
Returning from a place darker than it seemed.
Reality is only as dark as you think,
What you make of your life and thoughts are a constant link.
If you can cast a real smile on all around,
There isn't very much that can bring you down.
I thank her for doing this for me,
Showing me that I was shallow so I could make my leave.
I rebuilt myself in a better way,
Not to be mistaken with the changes made today.
[CHORUS]
Now I can cast a better look at the world,
Living my life as my path slowly unfurls.
I see myself bleed and I laugh out loud,
My pain is temporary, like the cheer of my crowd.
Thousands of people all around me who don't know my name,
The many thousands of clones, all acting the same.
To break free from the mold is the greatest victory,
To look up on the world as no one else can see.
[CHORUS] x2
*replace last lines with:
Spread your wings and fly,
From confinement into the sky.

Tainted Lives (Early 2005)
Date: Feb 15th, 2006 10:27:41 pm - Subscribe
Mood: sublime
The people all around me hold a devil inside,
Hanging out with their friend, their emotions they hide.
They live their lives scarred, but they don't even know,
The pain that lies beneath, and how fast it grows.
Love and hate, the are conflicting things,
But living only one has pain it brings.
Living through the good means living through the bad,
But too many emotions can drive someone mad.
[CHORUS]
Theft of the heart and death of the mind,
Bitching about their problem's the only way they can find.
Complaining about their lives to anyone who'll care,
Wasting people time, and our precious air.
They steal, they hare, becoming tainted with sin,
Falling from the light and getting darker within.
Those who're corrupted become worthless scum,
Thinking they're so down and hating everyone.
Been screwed over by emotions with no remorse,
They take after the devil and become goth, of course.
Only the strong ones can survive blow after blow,
Without being dragged into the undertow.
I was so close to being tainted with hate,
But I'm back to give advice to which you can relate.
[CHORUS]
Sadly, there are some who fall to the sadness,
They lose all their senses and revert to madness.
Secluding themselves, they still complain,
Victims of love in this heartless domain.
The only help that they need is the light inside,
Maybe a good friend to help serve as their guide.
THis is not a song about hate, pain or deceit,
Rather how the victims act when they wish to grieve.

Twisted Thoughts (Early 2005)
Date: Feb 15th, 2006 10:27:05 pm - Subscribe
Mood: bleak
On a darkened path I'm guided by the light,
My goals unclear, destination in sight.
How I got here is something I don't know,
I'm so confused, not knowing where to go.
Alone I walk with this pain I feel,
trapped in a place that feels so unreal.
Generated by my mind, it shall keep me here,
Until I confess to my problems to all those I hold dear.
[CHORUS]
DEATH, MURDER, LIES, HATE, PAIN and DECEIT,
These are the main evils that no one can retreat.
The worse they get, the worse you become.
They lead you away until you're the only one...
If I had a chance, I'd wish to redeem,
Though they all hate me, or that's how it seems.
Sadness is my life, happiness is a lie,
Pessimism overcomes me, I'd be better to die.
The madness, there's no control...
To live freely, is to let everything go...
Life is Death, there's no escape.
Death is Life, make no mistake.
[CHORUS]
Born of the darkness, they cast out the light,
They are the negativity that darkens the night.
They plague, they infect, changing those who are weak,
Leading them away from the goodness they used to speak.
Everyone has at least a speck of the dark,
Keeping it from growing is a challenging work.
THere has to be a way to shed this painof my past,
To bring myself to the light, or else my life wont last.
[CHORUS] x2
*2nd time, replace last line with:
You have to fight the pain until you've finally won.
The darkness of depression, one pain I live,
The more you fight it, the more pain it gives.
You must fight it, to overcome it,
Follow the path...
To clear your guilty conscience, you must redeem your past.

Ode to Sorrow (Early 2005) - Poem
Date: Feb 15th, 2006 10:25:58 pm - Subscribe
Mood: cautious
Trembling at the power of that hate,
Wishing only to reconciliate.
The look of her face is one of dispise,
And all I can think about is making a reprise.
I walk along these hallow halls,
Thousands of emotions locked in concrete walls.
At last I turn the corner and thee she stands,
Only for a second, giving less then a glance.
I feel so bad to have caused her leave,
Telling me reasons I could not perceive.
My fault and mine alone to carry hereon,
Adding to the feeling that I don't belong.
Love can usually be lie,
Making those without want to curl up and die.
It eventually grinds right down on the mind,
Leaving no emotion unchanged or happiness behind.
Paranoid, trying to figure out how,
I drove her away and why she hates me now.
But to find out would mean much disgrace,
Adding to the pain evident on my face.
Slowly drifting deeper into sadness unknown,
To not be understood and to be left alone.
Sanity slowly being stolen away,
I have to keep this hate and madness constantly at bay.
