Kisses from her are like candy Sweetened by promise The promise of something never before seen By our scarred fingers and bloodshot minds A new covenant, a new desire Everything I will ever need is in you If you will be like this forever As long as you will be my mistress and not my girl Love, forever conditional Can we ever expect that it will not turn gray? Does anything stay fresh, untainted? Or are we destined to fall Given a choice of comfortable misery Or a life of loneliness? If everything were as colorful as that first kiss The kiss that tastes like candy And sets your soul ablaze in hopeful fire Then we could last I

My warring mind Through everything, through everything is real I feel like my subconscious is I feel And the world will clash around Though all I feel in here, I doubt Even though I feel I'm growing colder The bleeds have only yet to stay If through the war is only yet to see destruction I will only seclude to isolation I fear what is yet to come And I am not built for resurrection Bleed it through the wind and I feel your call I feel it calling out and I feel it all And everything has changed This world is not meant for me No, with our romances I know how it used to be But used to be is gone And I know I'm wrong Through ev

Does this look infected? Did I live too much? Have you felt rejected or did you swing the punch? Life is always colder when you're watching from above Never again will I be in love with you Those days have gone and I withdrew Though it still stings and life is darker now You know I'll spread my wings I'll never tap out Does this look infected? Did you crawl away? Were you just afraid and had no words to say? Give me all your reasons and I will turn my face Turn and face the world away from you Stuck inside my vacant temple I am chasing a disease This time I feel the rush and you're away from me You know I love the moment when

Sitting on the edge of the world Feet dangling into nothingness below Convincing myself that this is the only road And, brother, I don't have another home Rubble keeps falling down below The screams of the condemned slowly fading The faint fires illuminating the walls Sitting on the edge of the world I have no more hope I've seen the angels come crashing down The deaths of innocents in my life While the guilty laugh and drink Upon their chairs of undeserved romance I've had my chances, sister But I'll beg you for one more I know Heaven won't let me in But maybe I can sleep in the lobby

O' Medusa You fragile little soul You need the hearts of every man As much as they need you But everything just wastes away And every word that you say is flawed Because in the end, we all turn to stone We are expendable pawns Before our mouths open And hurtful, honest words creep out O' Medusa Why do you adorn yourself with venom? Is your own beauty not enough? Your poor little heart Is it beating, or are you a deadly specter? Have you ever felt true romance? I believe you have, my love And the man that pushed you to anger To haphazard murder without remorse You showed him the fight in you O' Medusa, I am not everyman I

I see your portrait on the wall Smiling, you've forgotten it all Among your possessions I see nothing of mine Nothing to remind you What has been lost in the sands of time Nothing seems the same anymore to me The epitome of lost, the shadow unseen I'll walk this crowded world As vacant as it is Nothing seems the same I've lost my only friend Walking through your garden Everything is wilted And so it goes, you never know Even in your perfect world The fickle never escape the wake of their destruction Nothing seems the same anymore to me The skies have turned dark, too dark to see I walk this crowded world And nothing ever c

I see you sitting there, thinking to yourself Ponder all the depths of things You'll never open your mouth And that just leaves me sitting here As you stare a hole into me I just wish you'd tear me open Before you shut me out Confined by words unspoken Can you figure me out? Neither of us can love again 'Till we find out what we need And what you need is what I need We're just trying to be seen You need to ask yourself "Where do I want to be?" And if it's somewhere far away I hope you'll be with me And everything we're finding out I'd step off of the edge of the world for you If you showed me how

Walking through this wasteland I thought I heard your voice You're everywhere to me You see me, but you don't understand And I still hear your voice Rustle through the sunset Back from exile I see faces in windows A million of you behind me And there's just one of me There has always been a million of you And just one of me

If eyes can tell the truth Tell me what you see Do you see the plagues before you? Do you see the disease? If you let me deep inside your head Will you open up your mind? Or do you feed from turning away And living life blind Weakness is no excuse If you hate all the world You have to want to watch it burn And not be afraid to die If you want to make a change You have to rise above it all And know that someday All your pain will mean something To the children within the fray

Sitting here, feeling fear, as the light shines in Burns my skin, blinds my eyes, haunts my lullabies In the days, why don't they take me away? I know it's almost over but I feel just the same I know the night, when the monsters roam I know the night, I know that you're not alone Save me, if you take pity on me Save me, if you feel anything at all I'm going dark, you can't see me through the veil A cyanide kiss and I'm going to hell Sometimes I know what no one should know I would live out this bliss if I wasn't so cold Perfume like this, intoxicates me But you're like the rest, here to watch me bleed I know the night, I can nev
