in time of darkness
when the end is getting near
false prophets
start to appear
they're searching for evil
and they're working hard
dont you know they've got
the devil in their own backyard
they'll fight their battle with lies
and with words unspoken
makes me wonder if the first seals
finally broken
oh,lord teach your childern
about the liar
and save us from the black messiah
see through his disguise
and you'll recognize
the father of lies
his talk is sweet,but his breath is rotten
the eighth commandment all forgotten
you'll hear him praise the lord
you'll even hear him pray
but this shepherd's gonna lead
his herd astray
in times of darkness
when the time is getting near
false prophets
start to appear
oh,lord teach your childern
about the liar
and save us from the black messiah
in this modern-day inquisition
freedom of speech is the definition
oh heresy
he's using religion as an excuse
to annihilate the right to choose
for you and me
look him in his eyes
and you'll recognize
the father of lies!
did you ever think as a hearse goes by
that you may be the next to die?
they wrap you up in a big white sheet
from your head down to your feet.
and the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,
in your stomach and out your snout,
and your eyes fall out and your teeth decay-
and thats the end of a perfect day!
young man driven
mad with strife
slashed his wrists
with a hunting knife
to put an end
to a pointless life
it's just another life lived in vain
sorrow and pain,still nothing gained
it's just another life gone to waste
death is such a lonely place
young womans next in line
as the reapers prey
popping pills just to
face the day
untill an o.d.
took her blues away
looking back at all those wasted years
living on a lie
in the end it became so clear
they were born to die
you cant accept the gift that god gave
so you're killing yourself everyday
and though you may not use a gun
your in for the permanent solution
OUT OF THE NIGHT THAT COVERS ME,
BLACK AS THE PIT FROM POLE TO POLE,
I THANK WHATEVER GODS MAY BE
FOR MY UNCONQUERABLE SOUL
IN THE FELL CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE
I HAVE NOT WINCED NOR CRIED ALOUD.
UNDER THE BLUDGEONINGS OF CHANCE
MY HEAD IS BLOODY,BUT UNBOWED
BEYOND THIS PLACE OF WRATH AND TEARS
LOOMS BUT THE HORROR OF THE SHADE
AND YET THE MENACE OF THE YEARS
FINDS,AND SHALL FIND,ME UNAFRAID.
IT MATTERS NOT HOW STRAIT THE GATE,
HOW CHARGED WITH PUNISHMENTS THE SCROLL,
I AM THE MASTER OF MY FATE:
I Am THE CAPITAIN OF MY SOUL!
COLD METAL BARS BLOCK OUT THE SUN
SOFT WHITE PADS COVER THE WALLS,
DOCTORS IN WHITE COATS
TAKE NOTES
DOWN THE HALLS
WATCHING ME,
MY EVERY MOVE,
DARING ME TO TRY,
IN MY STRAITJACKET
THAT OTHERS CALL MY LIFE.
NOTHING TO DO ALL DAY
EXCEPT SIT HERE AND STARE,
MY HANDS AREN'T FREE
TO RUN THROUGH MY BLACK HAIR.
AS I DRIFT AWAY FROM THE SANE,
I LOOK HARD ENOUGH,
I CAN SEE THEM LOOKING PAST.
PAST MY EYES,
PAST MY MIND,
LOOKING PAST MY SOUL,
THEY WOULD LOOK PAST MY HEART TOO,
IF IT WEREN'T A BLACK HOLE.
BROKEN SO MANY TIMES,
SO THIS IS HOW I FEEL INSIDE.
MY LIFE,
MY ASYLUM.....
IN THE RED,WHITE,AND BLUE NATION,
REBELS ARE SILENTLY HUSHED AWAY,
GOVERMENT CONTROLLING DECISIONS,
LEADING TO THIS COUNTRYS DECAY,
BROKEN MORTALS WHAT WE STAND UPON,
WHAT CORPORATE AMERICA DRAINS,
INJUSTICE FALLING IN DAGGERS,
CUTTING TO THE VEINS,
ANGER AND HATE ARE RISING,
WE ARE GOING TO STAND UP AND FIGHT,
TO THE FLAG THAT DOESN'T MEAN MUCH NOW,
SINICE IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING RIGHT.
SO I WONT PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THIS PLACE,
THAT FORCES PEOPLE DOWN,
LIBERTY DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE,
AND EQUALITY WONT BE FOUND
why did your views change of me?
is it because i wasnt what you expected me to be?
was it because i wasnt some perfect girl
in some perfect world, doing what perfect girls should do?
is that why i meant so little to you?
im sorry but i cant change my past
if i could i would
i knew you would never last
why did i believe your love should?
i was a fling
a puppet on a lonely string
hanging by the neck awaiting sweet despair
what you put me through was more then i could bare
you lead me on and you ruined my soul
how could i lose so much damn control
over the actions of your vengeful heart
the pain does hurt, but its only a start
i was only a fool
when i thought
my love would belong to you
and how could you be
so damn insecure to me
yet expect us to be friends
when you know damn well this will be the end
now when i see you
i brake apart inside
i try to find a place in my heart
to run and hide
i knew you never liked me
why did you act like you had to?
just keep walking on and dont look back
i dont care anymore about how you feel
the pain i endured was just to real
all the hurt you pinned on me
will scar me for all eternity
no matter what i do
no matter what i say
nothing will make you love me
like you did yesterday
so im sorry i wasn't everything you wanted
and im sorry i let you down
i know it by the way you look at me
how that smile turns to a strifeful frown
i remember your kisses
they burned my flesh
a pain so sweet and fresh
all those "i love yous" were lies
a disguise to hide
how you really felt inside :(
paint me a candleflame
warm bodies in the rain
soft mattresses to stain
with 31 flavors of the brain
lying on the drugstore floor
this is my game,only wanting more
some say yours is the same
behind the unmarked door
i came i saw
your dirty little war!
in the twillght of your dreaming mind
my love for you is screaming blind
a thousand bodies cringe and shiver
at a message no one will deliver
so listen to me and hear the whispers
of the empty wombs in babysisters
before i unlock myself with skeleton keys
get out of the gutter between my knees
im through with this disguesting mess
i no longer know who wears the dress
i wish to forget you and your sex
and go on with my life devoid of this hex
in the twillght of your dreaming mind
theres a pleasure we must find
that will help us understand each other
without the need for a physical lover
so i can touch you with a summer breeze
instead of the gutter between my knees
(squashed between pillows)
a dream sighs,listening inside it's bones
to the toothless caravan dragging itself along
the empty roads-
like a breath in the snow
P L E A S E-----------
kill all the white noise
so i can hear myself cry-like ice cream
melting under the skin of the world-
a splinter tear-thorn in my side
A C U P U N C T U R E S A L V A T I O N
a syringe for the earth-extracting milk freebasing
the knowledge that is given
-that is force upon me-that is injected into all children by
paperdoll school teachers
"and we will recycle everything..."
"and the rain forest is a rumor..."
"and if life hurts take a pill..."
just make sure you dont take the whole bottle,
mortal abortion is illegal
so work away-
or jump in with the spoon
"close your eyes..."
i trace the face of your hidden grace
feeding the lips that own my words
breathing peaceful sighs
so sweet a sound it hurts
"you're so quiet..."
reaching inside my mouth,the taste
of silver and pearl,smiles in the dwinding light
i cant see you in the dark
i cant feel you at night
"again..."
holding you with gloves
not knowing how it feels
to touch my deepest love
"i dont feel anything..."
i want you forever so that i can feel something close to me
to dip into this well
forever inside the lies
i lay listening to your breath for hours
the song that never dies
"the beauty isn't lost..."
its just deeper than we know
in the taste of silver and pearl
is a kiss of truth i feel
whatever it will cost
wont be enough to sew the wound you given me this time
and i love you
not in vain but with all that i have left
i love the way you wept
when i kissed you through the pain
but i dont want to die
so give me your last sigh
"dont say anything..."
you'll cry
dont say goodbye
street light soaked,soul so bright
hair on fire,black as night
in your eyes a little girl shivers
in your hands my heart withers
you dress youself in superstition
holding my attention with a wordless leash
all my strengh is out of reach
you are a mystery i want to unravel
in your eyes i can travel
to the deepest deaths of you
in an ocean of sapphire blue
a sideways glance,a long lost chance
a little twist of the truth
has forever stole my youth
when i try to explain,all the laughter,all the pain
you smile and nod and look away
never asking me to stay.
but if you kissed me,my lips would bleed
for a hunger i must feed
is it so hard to understand
why i only want to hold your hand!
