"The great thing is not to be afraid. Now, between you & me, I don't want to hang-that's practical; but for all can't, Macfarlane, I was born with a contempt. Hell, God, devil, right, wrong, sin, crime, and all the old gallery of curiosities-they may frighten boys, but men of the world, like you & me, despise them" (The Body Snatchers. Robert Louis Stevenson) Even when your world razes I'll be here for you my love When the shadows of the gallows try to swallow I will swoon you away Every day a struggle So what is the point of being upset about it? Draw all the good from the bad No longer we are sadists We give up We give up so easily But I refuse You test my faith I won't waiver You test my patience I will wait for you Blackened knuckles from pulling you out of the fire Don't create discord when you need none Peace All at peace Why can't we all be at peace? They say "I don't see what you see in her" I say "I see the world in her beautiful little eyes" She has been crushed By the weight of the world I am redeemer Respect her wishes But hope for gold The sun brings new days New chances at recreation Unbreakable We will become Towers of iron These hearts Will cry no more Reassess The situation The consequence Snake bite

What a failure What a vicious man I am I’m the giant that’s been wrong every moment since the start Day one I became the cancer Metastasized in your brain And the sickness ailing your spine I was the man that was misaligned Now that we've gone our separate ways I'm wishing things were the same When you decide to cut your losses I hope I'm not left behind Is there something wrong with me? Please tell me I can’t shut my eyes without imagining holding your hand There are few moments I go without you on my mind Her image scarred my eyelids Sleep has burnt my eyes What will I become? You are what I’m hoping for I am plagued, as a guilt filled man With his hands pressing down on his heart Keeping himself from true happiness Why did I ever think I deserved perfect? I wasn’t made for this To be your perfect little boy Why would i really Ever think i meant something to you? Is this what dreams are made of? Vicious animals maws wide Looking to draw blood Is this what you came for? Is this what dreams are made for? I’m just another man Broken where he stands If I could turn back time I would of never chased you Digging my own grave To be noticed by you What will I become? Is there something wrong with me? Please tell me I can’t shut my eyes without imagining holding your hand There are few moments I go without you on my mind Her image scarred my eyelids Sleep has burnt my eyes Pushing myself has never been easy To change everything about who I am I have always depended on your every breath As a dog depends on his spine I will continue vaguely into an unknown pasture Hoping to make the most of myself

lyrics

Struggling with forgiveness Raise the torchiere globe to the light These hardships will never fail If I don't let it go No one cares of right and wrong any longer All there is, selfishness & corruption One day when the time is right i will be able to let go of what you've done No one gives a fuck if you're sad at this world No one gives a fuck if you die alone This needs to change! This ever-beating heart in my chest was put here as blackness I want to ever perspire and shed tears & break it over and over again Just to make your life better Take my hands I will make you feel real But in order for everything to be alright You must forget all you know Start anew Forgiving all you've hurt Because if you let that get you down You will be stuck in a grave with all the dead Fearing & hateful people of this dark world Let's make a difference

lyrics

You built me up So I could tear down and rebuild you Everything grows towards the sun Now you do too Barren chest and broken hearted You are still standing without fear For we Know our path To righteousness Miles of expanses covered in one pencil stroke Cartography of mountains Building up a stronghold The architects hands are tied Breathing down his neck We don't realize the power We can create With just a few words Welcome home I never thought I'd miss that exasperated voice Until I opened my eyes to see your words seep into my skin Tragedies will unite us, words can build never-ending mounts, you can try and destroy us, but we won't waiver. We have prophesied war, destruction, the end, but when this world is cold & ashen, I know I will still stand. I'll try my best to make people happy, but you know perfection will never happen What a waste of face The serpent tries to tear us down, but we will devour. Stop us You can't stop us

Husbands respect your wives, and wives respect your husbands equally. For narrow is the path to true emotion. We are here because of one thing Love Wash over me for I conquer the bad with the good in me Sometimes you must lose yourself to find out who you truly are Now look In the mirror And tell me who you think I am I'm just your inner conscious Biting at the back of your neck. Try and drown me out, but I am truth I hope you make the right decisions, that's why I'm here to facilitate To catch you when you fall. Agape Stand tall and proud That mirror shines back and shows all your scars What have you done, what have you done These scars have healed for it's hit the sun What have we done, what have we done You keep thinking this is right Putting yourself in situations that just make you cry And I wonder why You keep crawling from that swamp you call home I hope, I hope You realize that you are torturing yourself I was put on this earth To keep you from scarring I am My iron heart

Empires of 3rd world countries Crumble from the Achilles hero The sun sets upon ashes Civilians mourning the loss of their children Merchants holding their ashes Men in robes robbing and raping Is this what we’ve come unto? Starry nights over sorrowed lands The tipping of the domino What do you think happens When the tower falls? Sun Set On Ashes Hope Is the anchor Of the soul Raze the city Raze it to the ground O hope where have you disappeared to? In our time of need you have stepped out the door Why, o why o has this happened? The boys and girls of this broken continents are crying They have no sight, they have no sight The pyramid looks down to these crumbled cities Commanding the children to build But they have all gone past the point now of hope You don’t realize the torture you put yourself just to die Another century will pass before you realize that there is a reason to every season Just to think, this moment in your head will be a memory by tomorrow Exterminate Our own kind One by one we all fall to ash The shroud has fallen Now it's time to see Innocence dismantled to pieces The shadows around me like my brother's keeper His shadow's my reaper The time has come to reap me But i still have too much to live for I will see you in the end I Resistor of temptation Destroyer of worlds I hope you know that there is no tomorrow, for me I am the destroyer, of me

Time heals all wounds, Living in fear, I won't let that Happen Overshadowed, by darkness, He swallows her into his fantasy I am sick of watching her dismantle This wall has been erected too high I try my best to scale it This wall may be too high to scale But I will still commit Beyond what i want is my need I try my best to scale it This wall may be too high to scale But i will still commit To get you what you need True emotion Break this shattered shell Do not fret For I am not a destroyer I rebuild I laugh at myself Dream-chaser You can't get anywhere without a backbone You are just like me Work, creator, build Adorn yourself decorated soldier Endings, we are buried the same Am I a waste of flesh? Waste of flesh Am I empty? Waste of flesh Am I a waste? You are just like me Standing with an open heart bleeding Infected from the foul world If this is how you want me I'd rather die Than spend another moment With You

Cover ups Area 51 The assaulting bomb threat on the George Washington She seeps into my mind with her lies Delicate & delectable untruths That it seems only the devil can create I strongly fear to consume Strong & murderous I remember when our hands touched User Abuser I’m dead inside I can’t even look at your face without breaking You left me like a cattle left to slaughter User Abuser You fucking broke my heart You Liar Blatant liar How can I forgive you? For what you did to me Heartless Fucking heartless You fucking broke my heart You Liar Blatant liar Heartless Fucking heartless

Hell has reserved a certain place for the likes of you There is a point where the line has to be drawn God does not hold a place for you. You lied bitch Now you will pay Hang before the jury Hang before me bleeding You lied to me bitch Just because I'm different than them I have no respect I'll watch you rot in the cell Gratification for your justified actions I have hope For you to decay You sick fuck

There is a gulf open between us Can’t we bridge it somehow We have had so much taken from us I feel me falling back I can’t let myself get hurt again I can’t drown in myself But I no longer know what to do This open air has come to an ultimatum with itself Go back to the same problems That apprehensive prognosticate life My home for twenty years The same old pinwheel spinning with a dull backdrop of grey These sinners, are making me see I no longer need envy New aegis advises a means to ends Gentrified life is a necessity I have waited too long for this I can’t wait anymore I can’t wait anymore I hope you feel like shit The day after you broke my heart Roses were at your doorstep You are the parasite within me You are the Cancer eating me alive I wished I could forget every moment we ever had But now I’ve realized that this wasted time Can turn around and better me For the struggles I’ve overseen (the struggles I’ve overseen) Has brought me towards empty 20 long hard years searching 20 years more and I won’t give a fuck You are the cancer eating me

Your heart's so cold I never thought it would come down to this Me on my knees begging you to stay Although I know it would never happen My secrecies were yours to keep You stomped on my spirit I was overzealous After saying those 3 words it was never the same Our hello's were goodbye's And you became a vault And you became a vault Highest power lead me back to this Let me exalt my yen For my ardor is overbearing And she is dissonance That caress I miss Pressed against my skin One flesh again My secret's will not spill until it is right No longer in want I search for something more What do I want? I Want You What do I need? I Need You

Floating on the last words i hear Lighten the skies Small in stature Strong in nature We're still here Tall as mountains But small as the pebbles that create You are the support of the strength Without your support What would be left? A hollow shell No Meaning This mountain would just be earth and stone No meaning Until you came along And gave me a reason Otherwise I'd tear this world down And rebuild it in my image Supine jujitsu Lying with hands outstretched Waiting for your embrace Delicacy embrace me To feel whole again Absence of ghosts, absence of clones, absence of love
