His presence is of a silent figure in the night.
The shadows hide all the light
He says he can put your soul on paper
Then he'll burn it with a taper
He'll draw you up, but it is a high cost
Which way will he toss?
He takes anything just to make a living
But, it will cost your life ending
He says he can no longer paint life
Since he was cut off with a knife
He'll give you a dream
But, nothing at all it may seem
I believe that things will happen for a reason.
I believe that there is time for change every season
I believe that tomorrow will be a better day.
I believe that not everyone will have their say.
I believe in a way to make life seem blissful.
I believe that not everything is wishful.
I believe that I will have my set and time.
I believe that sometimes life can seem sublime.
There's a place in my mind that I can retreat
To remember something that hurt so deep
That I couldn't even begin to speak it aloud
Except that who I am today, isn't what I was once.
And you won't remember how I used to be
Because it just wasn't in your program to remember
Yet, in my memory, it replays all to loud
You won't recongize me on the street
The girl from middle school grew up
She left behind so, much of her
That it still litters the hallways that she passed by in
The people would tell you, that it's not the same
That I could never be the same person they remember
But, their memories aren't mine,and they'll never be able to understand the change
Even as I grow older I still remember how everyone used to treat me
Oh, how I wish that it would of been better.
Then again it just wouldn't been the same
So, here I stand today, stronger than the girl
Of yesterday
So, here is to my memory, here is to you
My last hold of who I was
I'm no different than you thought I was.
My crush that I never could tell
Except for in a letter
That never really expressed the right things
I wanted to express
But, I will stand here and tell you now
I don't love you anymore
I will not love you like I did, ever again
So, in my memory that girl still does
But, all is lost in a memory
Every thing can be forgotten in a memory.
You're something unexpected
And yet, something I wanted all along
I can barely contain my excitement to hear your voice
When I'm lost in my world, you make it hard to stay away
And as my time spent getting to know you, goes on longer
I see myself, wrapping my arms around you
The sea of loneliness is too much to bare
But, I won't bare it anymore
You're something that's been there
That I never really noticed
Yet, knew something was there
You offer me something new
Yet, nothing new at all
You're a big adventure waiting to happen.
The green eyed monster behind your eyes
Something that makes me cry
Your tongue like venom, I wish not to speak
Feelings of resentment make me weak
I have put up with the good and bad
Yet, you make something so simple sad
You yelled at me for a measly dollar
I hated to raise my voice to hollar
If I'm the one who causes the problems
Then why come to me to solve them?
I never asked for the family I was born in
But, you make it seem like its a sin
To sit there and provoke
Makes me want to revoke
The friendship we have today
but, I guess I'll leave it this way
And wish that you would fight this resentment
Or turly I could find other consentment.
You and I no longer see
eye to eye
Your in love with an enemy
Which makes me feel insignificant
I no longer wish to fight
It causes to much animosity
Its not like I ask for it
He started it, and I finished
Your upset and I'm numb
He says I'm guilty
My hands are clean
And his are dirty
He acts like I'm a reflection of what he hates
But, I never stood for what he thinks
I'm tired, and no longer care
I tell you this, I am gulity of harmful thoughts
but, you can't blame me
I can't blame him I guess
Even though his anger is unprovoked
And mine was provoked
But, this is all I have to say
I wish that you'd push me away.
I lay awake in my field of shadows
Close my eyes to the impending darkness
I pretend that I'm dead
Yet, I'm a survivor in this valley
In my world of nothing
I fill it up with sorrow
Waiting for you to enter
To be my sun again
So, then maybe my valley
Wouldn't be filled with death
With the love that has taken my life
Seems like centuries have passed
Since you've brightened this world
With no life left to grasp
I open my eyes to the shadows
And welcome them to reality
Knowing you never loved me
But, used me to melt the loneliness
Maybe it makes me feel alittle better
To know I did some good
Even if you'll never know about my world
In my field of shadows
My valley of death
I'm merely waiting for the rising day
And so we lay askew
I sit up to examine the damage
Seeing that the war inside me is done
I can finally repair
And start over today
Fill up the river that flowed for you
And seal the cracks that made my valley
Welcome to my reality
My field and my valley
My home and my world
It's depressing
But, it's my depressing place
The little place in my brain Where everything makes sense
And I don't have to realize the pain
I guess I'm crazy
At least here nothing is insane
For it's my world
I'm victim and vitimizer
I'm violence and peace
World that is my own
I weep over the valley
Slowly then I drown
My sun and star
The cure of my heart
I bid you farewell
And hope you know the happiness
You took away
The soul you have grasped
And slowly my eyes ease open
With my mother shaking me
Calling my name yet, I don't remember
All I know is that I'm crying
And for the firsti time I'm hit with a blow
My throat grows salty
And all I see around me
Are bright lights of a white room
My world I want it back
But, I need to shake myself' From the craziness of my world.
What does it prize a man to look for beauty?
When phyiscal beauty dies and makes you quiver
That the one that owned the face does shiver
And yet, we all want it
Its a sadistic need for something made of flesh
Instead of being made of a soul
Will we all grow-up to believe that the machincal world is all there is and something that will become?
Caught in this whirl wind of flesh, to press someone harder until that they are hysterically crying
And we all laugh at them for they are a weak pathetic soul and still we are the ones dying
Yes! this tactiful curel form of the world is all we are
And a baby with a broken leg is what we understand
Then point the finger at the working mother
That stands on street corners, when her daddy didn't want her
And this is all her fault?
People lift up thier hands, offer advice that they'll never take a dose of
A satanic ritual happens everyday yet, conciously no knows that their performing it until they find themselves at the broken gates of home
yet, what does flesh prize a soul?
when the release is what causes fear and still is sucked in We will become this!
A dirty soul with eyes for physical beauty, that will all but, crumble in febble hands, we thought had strength
And yet, we know none of this; This is our prize for the rituals we went through
To climb a mountain so high, that you feel envincible
But, someone younger, bigger, and stronger will push you off in all your glory
That you'll fall into the bloody pool and drown in this weakness in society.
And this is something to become?
You'll find a succubus ripping out your soul and find that you have been eternally damned.
They'll raise you high upon a cross and wipe your face with shame
That this is what you are
And this is the prize of a man that looks forward to physical beauty.
Softly a melody so haunting
Plays gently through my walls
Calling me from my bed, to stand in my hall
I stare into the blackness of the night wondering whom this composer was
I creep across the cold floor letting this melody guide me
Once my eyes laid upon its player, I find myself unmoved to speak
As the notes of this song swirl around dipping and singing up in a chorus that brought me to tears
How sad it seemed that this human being should live alone with their art
Wishing not to disturb I walk back to my bedroom
Listening to the wailing melody, hearing the pain that this composer felt
And I named this composer the Midnight Composer
So, when I feel I cannot sleep, I can listen to their song and fall asleep with thoughts of my own
Never able to break the spell of this melodist
And maybe I'll pray for once that no one should have to bare such a wound that deep
As that of the one of the Midnight Composer
Rules for art;
Are like chains,
digging into your skin.
It's like prison,
Cold, tentative,
Manipulating your senses.
It's like winter,
dead, unheeding,
Curel to your heart.
He said,
"You're not pretty enough for me and you seem so simple,
that I couldn't possibly love you."
She said,
"I am not the prettiest girl around but, still there is my sense of justice.
I am practicle, you shouldn't think me so simple.
My hair, my eyes, or body shouldn't matter."
He said,
"Your sense of justice, practicality, seem to be as fickled as electricity.
I couldn't possibly love you."
She said,
"You can't base situation and hard emotions off of who I am.
I am fickled at times but, I can be like stone.
Surely that shouldn't matter to you."
He said,
"Weither there be a bad situation and hard emotions should matter.
You throw this in my face as if to gain something.
No, I couldn't possibly love you."
She said,
"Base it as you must, because you shall not find another girl such as I."
He said,
"I couldn't possibly love you."
In the eyes of the hunter you are merely prey
You are something kill, nothing else to say
In the eyes of the hunter there is merely a prize
That just happens to be your life, surprise?
With your heart beating wildly you try to hide
But, don't forget what lies on the other side
The hunter is looking, crossing through the trees
You hide under brush, and fall on your knees
In the world of the Hunter there is merely black and white
No colors for enjoyment, how boring a site.
As the hunter grows closer you'll cover your mouth
Make not a sound, or this will be your last mount
In hands of the hunter there is a rifle
Do you think you can make such a striffle?
To fight for life, and take the gun away?
Or will you merely vanish to live another day?
The hunter, will get you, the hunter knows all
Where you sleep, where you eat, where you fall
The hunter is playing with your mind
how can such being so heartless and unkind?
The hunter will find you, it's a matter of time
This hunter is death, life was never sublime.
It's a lie, forget it
Come back you'll see
It's a simple life, forget it
It's only you and me
Just take your hands away don't look at me
You're just another lie, forget it
It's all in the touch
You've hurt me to much
I'm just another selfish human being, forget it
You'll not care much more for me
It's just a lie, you'll use it
To make up a family
Let the music wind through the trees
It's spilling out verses for you to sing
It's just a lie, you'll have it
For you to bring more company
Twist their hearts, you'll take them
Their just another prize on your shelf
It's the relationship that you tear in half
It's a soap Opera grant
You're a lie, forget it
Everyone already has
We heal the bruises
Where they all began
You make me sick, but you'll have it
You'll come back to me, and you'll hurt me
You're pathetic, you keep up with old habits
God, won't forget it
When you leave
Remember, all that you've done
Don't lie, you'll forget it
It's just all about you isn't it?
Just forget it.
A reflection in the mirror, I smile
But, for only a little while
Before I begin to mentally break myself down
Before I know it, I'm emotionally hitting the ground
I wanna tear the mirror off the wall
I wanna smash it in the hall
I want to make myself bleed
So, this pain will fleed
So, I'll just turn my eyes away
But, I'll see it the next day
The hurt, resentment, the torment that lies within
The intelligence, artist, the poet that cries for a pen
To break up myself doubt
Would wear me out
I already have problems with my reflection
That I've accuared a collection
Of words, just to tell myself how I feel
Just to tell myself, it's time to heal
But, I'll never stop the wound that I started now
I just won't be able to tell others why or how?
I don't know why I have problems with the reflection
I don't know why I have such a large collection
Of problems, that seem to just get bigger and pile up more
I feel the weight fall down upon me, and make me sore
I don't even know why this started in the first place
I guess I'm just a rather complicated case
Because I won't let any of this out
I won't even pout
To let others know that I hurt deep inside
Where I take everything and hide
You have pictures of you where people say your hot
People say your pretty, but you're not
When I look in your eyes, I see something else
I see what no one will see, I see myself
People say that you are great
But, all I see is hate
From the words that you say about me
To the things you point out, that you see
People say that you're funny
That your life is all sunny
But, all I see is the dark
Where all those other emotions lark
So, maybe I see one side of you
But, which side of you is true?
I see one side, others see the other side
Is it because you're afraid of what you hide?
Because everything that seems to make you so wonderful
Seems to make you just that much more ugly to me
So, tell me ugly, are you wonderful after all?
Or is it ugly that you want to be?
I look into the pictures of you smiling
And I wish you where unhappy
I wish you had pictures of triffling
I wish you had pictures of you looking crappy
But, these are just ugly thoughts of mine
I just want you to be down, so I can be up
I want your world to stop, I want it to be not so fine
I want to be the one with the opptimism on a cup
Half full, rather than half empty
I want you to be ripped up on the inside
I wish no one would give you sympathy
But, that is just my feelings that I hide
It rips and tears, to see you happy
Because of all the people in this world
You are the one that is the most crappy
So, I'll let these thoughts twirl
Until I feel sick with them
And I'll obess of you falling down
I wish I had a knife to cut the stem
That started the emotions to grow around
My heart, and turn me into something I didn't want to be
But, everyone only sees the differences between you and me
