With arms outstretched
He's frozen there
Reaching towards the sky
He looks to be
Not himself
Cant make out why
Cant decipher what hes done
Cant reason anymore
His oceans carry him away
We're left here on the shore
His mind has journeyed
To the sky
The clouds hold his thoughts
This lifeless statue
Doesnt hear
Our speach is all for not
Like a vehicle well traveled
Hes put on too many miles
And now he stands there
In his place
Reaching towards
A Smile
I've been dwelling at the bottom
Of your paranoid existance
I've been lurking in the shadows
In the center of your mind
Im the person you belong to
When your consciousness is sleeping
Im the person your becoming
When you leave yourself behind
Im as spineless as this world
Your so calously a part of
Im as shallow and as empty
As the people that you hate
Im as tortured as the victims
Of domestic violation
Im the channel for your anger
Uncontrolled and so irate
Im so happy that your giving me
A chance to win you over
Im so pleased that your allowing me
A passage to escape
Please dont fight my will inside of you
Just savor every moment
And allow yourself to be me now
The one you did create
Lifeless minds in a victims world Untouched wound in a silent girl
Free expression makes us blind Invisible chains for humankind
Tubes drain the city streets In their presence no one sleeps
Time corrodes the walls of hands Pieces fall like mortal man
We all live beneath the stings Of high incomprehendable things
But we dont need to see the truth Let ignorance destroy our youth
Forget about how to resolve But dont forget how we evolved
We'll crawl the earth till we consume The only truth's what we presume
Dont fear the wrath of higher beings Just keep on like they're not seeing
By now they've put us on a shelf To let mankind destroy himself.
Say my name
Say it again and again
Who am I?
What does it feel like
To look into my face?
What a disgrace
Cant say my name
Dont wann hear
Who I am
So afraid
Say my name
Say it again
What am I to you?
Who am I to me?
Hide from mirrors
Fight my face
Such a disgrace
Let me be
Dont say my name
Dont ever say it again.
I stand up so high
Just so I can fall
Come stand with me
Youll make yourself look tall
I need to find a way to stop
Myself from feeling small
Im so alone in life
It echoes when I call
Keep yourself away from me
If you are feeling low
Cause emptiness and misery's
The only thing I know
These feelings in my mind are things
That you cant sink below
I wish I had a change of pace
I took it way to slow
No matter how hard I grip
I just keep on slipping
Do not join me on this trip
A part of me is missing
I shiver
As this thing inside of me stirs
Bred evil
Waiting for the time
I know its intentions
It knows mine
I try to hide my thoughts
But it claws at my mind
I curl up into a ball
And roll my eyes back into my head
Trying to fight
This monster
But it holds power over me
And I cannot shake the feelings
That it pushes into me
Over and Over again
Like a virus on my mind
Im infected
And it eats away
At my consciousness
Until finally I surrender
And obey the will
Of this beast
Dwelling inside
Every night it rains
In their world
Every night is cloudy
They never touch sunlight
It is a life chosen for them
But God know's why
They move without consciousness
They walk without thought
Swaying to and fro as they march
Each footstep perfectly placed
Like they were robots
The sound they make is one of anguish
Their morbid groans pierce through the night
If you listen really hard you can hear them
They're digging your grave right now
Reach into this hole
But dont like what you find
Because I've seen before
The thing that hides inside
You draw back to your space
And hide yourself from truth
But do not be afraid
Cause It's not after you
Forget the world outside
Its whats within that kills
You need to find some peace
You know you never will
The black that stains your hand
Wont wash away with tears
Your swallowed by your guilt
And eaten by your fears
This prison of your mind
Keeps you from feeling free
You need to face the facts
Its time that holds the key
I look beyond your eyes
I know what hides inside
Dont hold back your tears
Ill catch them if you cry
From the glorious throngs of utter bliss
The highest recesses of unscaled mountains;
Once able to soar with magnificence unbound,
The angelic creature is shackled and brought to his knees
Posessed by a beauty that kills
Filled with a desire magnified by lust;
This undaunted warrior is suffocated of all love
And fed into unending hatred.
Torn from the plains of immortality
And heaved into the clutches of impending doom
Ripped away from all that is good
All that is holy
All that is sacred
Deprived of unending joy
Led into the pit of dispair
All for the love of a woman
