I know I'll never walk again with you
Never gonna fly as high as I did
There is no comfort to be found in my eyes
My arms are cold and numb
Look inside and all you see is pain and lies
I'm not afraid anymore
Now is the time to seek the final adventure
I have passed the point of conversation
In my life I have said and done a great many things
Very little am I proud of
I've been dead and cold for years now
Seems it's time for my body to catch up
I don't know when I lost my will
I do know that I'm sick of the pain
The pain I suffer and cause
There is little if anything left for me here
All I am is a mask
A sideshow for the amusement of the audience
This sick sad puppet is yours no more
My strings are cut as I lay lifeless in the corner of the room
The painted smile has chipped and cracked
Now the world sees what lies beneath
Let them see
Maybe they'll look inside themselves more often
I always wanted to leave a mark on the world
The mark I leave is a gaping wound
Soon to be a jagged scar on a falsely beautiful face
Some things in this world have no explaination or excuse
My life is one such thing
I've burnt myself at both ends for too damned long
Some would call this desperation
I prefer to call this a solution...
Shatter me
Break my bones
Black my eyes
I need more
Nothing else can satisfy
I don't want it
I know I need it
Shut me down
Let me drift away
Give me what I crave
I'll take it from you
I've become so numb
I have to feel something
Spoon fed pain all my days
The suffering is all I know
Put the screws to me
Scar my soul
Leave me as you found me
Confuse and blind me
Hate me with a smile
Kick me when you have me low
"She maketh me to lie on a bed of nails..."
Born behind the sun
Out of shadow we have come
We run together in twilights glow
Family is too weak a word
We live beyond the kin of man
We three are united forever by blood and love
This dark trinity is what I choose
Blood runs thicker than water
We are bound by sanguine dreams
I long to feel your love stinging me
Together forever in our Embrace
Three united as one
"Beatus Is Domus"
I've spent every waking moment trying
Striving to find the right way
I've always tried to stay in line
Fought so hard to keep it straight
I've slipped up so much
Torn my past to pieces
I've done the best I could
Been beaten at every step
My world crashes at every bend
I am my own worst enemy
I know I'll never forgive myself
I long to live forever in a land of make believe
I pray that the rains come soon
Flood away all the ugly that lays dead behind me
I shudder at the thought of another hollow hero
A shallow savior, come to pull me free
All I believe is a lie
Tearless, all I wanna do is cry
I'm treading water
Sinking slow under this weight
Drag me deeper but stay close
Stay there with your head down
You are so precious to me now
Broken, bruised and shattered
See me here in pain
Bring me the comfort of your thorns
Its not enough, I need more
Show me I can bleed and smile
You know I can't resist
Slide your claws into my flesh
Hold me tight and keep digging
Bring me to the surface
Bury me neck deep in the dirt
Deliver pain and pleasure as one
Give me all or nothing...
I've burned my share of bridges
Gained more habits than I've kicked
All these things I consider each and every day
I sit alone and make my plans to leave
I'll take what pain I can when I go
I've hammered my shame deep into you
I'm losing my will to carry this load
My solution is my new resolution
Every rejection a waste
All I have is my pain
I'm giving up
I can't do this alone
My grip is failing
I am lost here in the dark
I am nobody in my mind
Losing more and more each day
I'll just sit here and fade away
Don't worry I'm here
You can sleep now son
Ain't no nightmare gonna get you
I'll hold you close
Keep you safe from the other ones
Protect you from the evil ones
Quiet your mind and rest assured
Your boogey men have no power here
I'm here to clear out all the shadows
No more monsters under your bed
I can't promise you the world
All I can do is swear to keep you warm
Save you from the evil that men do
The world is a nasty place
I'll always be by your side
I love you baby boy...
So damned tired of doing whats right
Forced to take the pills they give
Too much time spent balancing on eggshells
One wrong step cursed to their wrath
My time and actions dictated by so many
Choking on the ashes of what I was
Automated everyday
Who pulls the strings on this puppet
Born to live and die as they say
Why can't I fly into the sun and burn
So much time wasted for others
Tripping through a day by day
I long to break these ties that bind
Need to remove the mask that blinds me
Unchain this marionette
I don't wanna be the misused toy anymore
All this may be wishful thinking
Torn between angels and demons
Free me to live or die as I choose
Forgotten things remembered
Blasphemies revealed
The written word shows my pain
I laugh now to hide the tears
The jokes on you all
I hereby recommend incarceration
A straight jacket may do me some good
Better trapped inside a cell than inside myself
Insatiably insane
Incurably ill
I'll keep my demons inside, thank you
Can't decide to live or die
Maybe I'll outlive you all
Hell, I could be gone tomorrow
Who cares, just let it be
No prison is as strong as the one we build for ourselves
I spent so long waiting
Sat here each and every night
Your silence screamed at me
I saw your face, it haunted me
I can't remember how you laughed
I could never hide from you
You always saw my pain
Your broken wings once sheltered me
I sit and think of the times we shared
You were once my faith
Made the world a stage for me to scream
I once asked you to heal me
You walked away from us
Why did I wait so long
Because someone I once loved asked me to...
