Unforseen

We cannot ever lie
This is why we often die
Victims of our own hearts
This is how it always starts,

Let us dance to death
Until they rob us of our breathe
You'll never amount to much
Only broken bones and such,

Twisted was the scent of him
Anger overflowing to the brim
She should've known, he wasn't alright
This, their final fight,

Heaven heard the final blow
That's all we ever need to know
He stands above her body, so fair
How could he ever dare,

The dagger glitters in the night
Laughing in hysterical delight
Should've run from the wall
This the strike that ends it all,

They were once so in love
But when push came to shove
He couldn't believe
That by dagger, she chose to leave.

Pyro

Strike the match, watch it burn
This the lesson you shall learn
How in an instant, life can fade
Extinguished by mistakes you made,

The fire’s burning way too bright
Watch it eat away the night
Hypnotizing all, it screams
Taking away your dreams,

Momma’s sleeping in the den
Close your eyes and count to ten
Sister won’t come back, the end
Sweet darkness can’t defend,

Tears are dried, touched by flame
Only you are to blame
But yet you smile, watching the fire
Murmuring, “Such a lovely funeral pyre”.

My Foe

Do I look like I care?
What you say, I can’t take away
So yeah, I give you a dare
Speak the words you refuse to say,

I’m walking through the halls
You stare, laugh, and jeer
Refusing to give into those catcalls
I am what you fear,

Throw things at me
Slap my ego, make it bruise
But one thing will always be
How life kills those who abuse,

Make fun of how I look
And my dark exterior
But we all know, inside you shook
Because you too are inferior,

Laughing when I cry
Teased as my blood shone
Sneer when I want to die
When you yourself are alone,

I have no pity
For you my foe
You’re not really witty
And not worth the show.

Halo

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
My fucking face staring back at me
So why can’t I turn away?
It there something I should say?

I taught this soul to fight
Doesn’t matter if it’s right
Smash your face against the mirror
This is what it’s like to be inferior,

I laugh at your pains
Don’t care if it rains
It’s not a fucking shame
‘Cause I’m the one you’ll blame,

Aw fuck, they gave me a halo
Does this mean I’ve got to lay low?
So mommy and daddy, take the kids away
‘Cause the dark is here to stay.

Stand in Line

Shut up, stand in line
A heart attack of mine
My tears, now red
Shadow words never said,

The voices say, "What the hell?"
They're never going to tell
So wicked are those daylight dreams
And friends who tore at seams,

I'm sitting in a corner, laughing
It's your life they're trashing
So shut up, stand in line
You'll never be just fine.

Night

As the sun goes down
And buildings start to frown
I’ll be waiting there for you
Yes, it’s true,

The windy the air
Murmurs, “It’s not fair”
Let the drying tears fly
Life without you is how I die,

But why must you go?
There is nothing left to show
The stars scream never laugh
I’m left alone, on this path,

The graves beat a different tune
I’ll be with you soon
But why must I leave
The moon doesn’t conceive,

The night air is alive
How can you still thrive?
Such milky white skin
And pearly fangs within,

Dressed in black, take my hand
If the sun rises, you’ll understand
These hearts no longer live on light
Come my dear, we own the night.

Dying Twice

You’ll never understand
This, the final command
So teary are my eyes
From all the bitter lies,

Biting my lips, red with shame
I hate how I’m the one you blame
I try to talk, anyone please
My words lost in a breeze,

The blood coats the floor
Slowly leaking out the door
But I know you the best
You’ll make me clean up the mess,

Black is my outlet, my life
I can’t understand, see the knife?
Am I already dead and cold?
My body decaying, I’m told,

Heaven help you, my darkest friend
Pray he doesn’t ever send
For when he comes, he will show
How dying twice is painfully slow.

Crash

My world is thrown around
Yet nothing makes a sound
As I'm thrown upside down
All I see is your frown,

How I loved our final kiss
Until it turned to fatal bliss
The hungry glass strikes your face
This memory I can't erase,

What's that screeching in my ear?
I'm weeping bloody tears
Say something, let me know
Tell me you'll never go,

I stroke your face, now dripping blood
Can't stem the dark flood
For the last time, I kiss you
Whispering words you never knew,

Pulled out by jaws of life
But in my heart, there is a knife
One life is saved, the other smashed
Reminding me of how we crashed.

Insane Again

Have you heard the rumor?
It grows like a tumor
That’s what she said
Spitting up lead,

I’m a twisted sick fucker
Don’t take me for a sucker
Those cobalt eyes
Striking with lies,

I see you die
This, I cannot lie
Think something’s wrong
Medicine’s taking too long,

I flinch at your touch
So feathery and such
Trying to take away my fun
God dammit, it’s my gun!

I’m going insane
Writing takes my pain
Leaving me with echoing dark
Like dynamite about to spark,

From one sick fuck to another
Just try to love thy mother
‘Cause insanity doesn’t give a shit
When it’s their wrists you slit.

The Devils We Make

Look at the mess you made
Now past cannot fade
‘Cause no amount of scrubbing
Can erase what’s coming,

Look for a nun
She holds the gun
Laughing when you shiver in fright
For shirking from irony’s light,

Pay respects and run away
A pure soul you’ll never stay
When the priest calls you beast
For loving such a bloody feast,

Dressed in black
But don’t attack
Sings the choir, always fail
‘Cause you’re going to burn in hell,

Pointed horns, we scream
Things aren’t what they seem
Life won’t brace your fall
See how her blood rots the wall

Countdown

Doesn’t matter, I say
It was meant to be this way
But I’m lying, how bad
Yet inside so glad,

Have you heard?
Blackest thought referred
I’m just here with gun and hand
Lustily grinning, such bitter command,

Have no heart?
That’s a start
‘Cause baby, I have none
That’s what is so fun,

The grim reaper, he lies
Nobody dies
So shallow the grave
The soul snatcher’s slave,

I’d hate to see
What you’ll never be
Drunk you will stay
Keeping the closet skeletons away,

So this choice, it still is yours
Time to settle those scores
Bring the screams, I won’t weep
As I fall bloody, to sleep.

It'll Come Back

Just want to rip off my flesh
With life, I can't ever mesh
Oh, can you help me please?
Before I begin to cease,

I stand screaming in a hall
But its echoes always fall
Just feel my nails rake your skin
This battle, you won't ever win,

Pass or go?
I won't ever know
This is what I do
To get away from you,

Feel like I'm stuck in a bind
Unable to press rewind
So how can you stand there and laugh?
You'll never know real wrath,

I'm sinking into black
But here's the funniest fact
No matter how bad I got
It'll come back to you as a lot.

Heart Killer

Love wasn’t enough
You had to get rough
Why can’t you shut up and die?
So I don’t have to lie,

So sick of your yell
It puts me through hell
The windows, they break in sorrow
Wonder if I’ll see tomorrow,

I smile through the pain
What is there left to gain?
Except for that feeling of death
To save you from wasting your breath,

I’m tired of you
I think you are too
So why don’t I save the disgrace
Put someone perfect in my place,

This is what it’s meant to be
You can never love me
So take this gun and promise
Aim for the heart and don’t miss.

Needle

I’m sick of fucking faking
The tragedy I’m making
Just close your eyes
I promise he won’t realize,

So sick of dark or light
I can’t really ever fight
Take this drug, watch me go
Heaven knows the face won’t show,

So tired of your fucking lies
Cowering as she cries
Memory can’t take away
That is all I have to say,

Pop a pill
Watch the blood spill
Feel so happy
In a life so crappy,

So punch me, say I have a choice
Scream at my fucking voice
Hug me when I say okay
Jerking the bloody needle away.

Bitter Scars

My heart's beating on the floor
Couldn't stand me anymore
But who's to blame?
Just a guy with no name,

Silent is the game I play
Cutting takes the pain away
But what the fuck?
Life's always going to suck,

Enough's enough, I'm stopping
Cover the cuts that keep dropping
For the shame of what I've done
Isn't worth death by gun,

There's no reason, no lie
I shouldn't even cry
For the mistakes I made
Can't make bitter scars fade.

Let Me Die

The heart explodes for want of more
Of what life has in store
Take it out, stamp it twice
Little sister take a slice,

Feeling so blue
I’m hoping this isn’t true
But every day I always try
To find a way to die,

Just sitting in my room
Waiting for uncertain doom
Shoot me once, please strike me dead
How I want this lust fed,

Bleeding woes and lies
How the wall begins to cry
Painted with the red
Of loved ones past dead,

Tears rolling down a cheek
A burning soul refusing to speak
Please bring that sleep, or attack
Let me finally never come back.

In My Head

How I want to die
So worn out is this saying
But I want it, in my head
So I’ll keep on fucking praying,

How cruel is life?
You can’t ever say
But it’ll end by stroke of knife
Shut up and go away,

There are the faces of the beaten and dead
To think you never once tried
Take back what you said
We all know you lied,

When dark comes to take
I hope you don’t succeed
We’ll all stay away
In your time of need,

All your dreams are taken
This is how I feel
Inside we’re all broken
From a memory thought to be real.

Blood

There wasn't a spark
Do you know what it's like waking in dark?
No you don't, you die
Just one time I will let you cry,

I have a heart
Just torn apart
The stitches ripped
When the knife slipped,

Why am I all you see?
I just want to be free
You're hoping I won't complete
Praying that I'll accept defeat,

So bring on your firey spears
The light flickers through my tears
Just hate my face, I won't disgrace
It's my blood I'll always taste.

Final Moments

Why does it always hurt?
Men with eyes on their shirt
Never thought I was allowed
But I'll die in a crowd,

These wounds music can't heal
Scream for a comforting feel
Something I can't ever do
'Cause I'm nothing like you,

The sky's a color I made
And still I stand in the shade
Crazy, I hope
But here comes the rope,

Oh, when I hung
See how the bullets rung
But they stand and stare
Blood spilling into air,

At last I finally scream
This is no longer a dream
As I fade to black
Run like hell and never look back.

The Darkness

If I ever win that race again
I’m not sure you’d understand
Let the past die, like my heart did
In sweet death, close one eye lid,

Makes no sense now, but it will
How the blood chooses to spill
The cuts were never deep enough
Keep on trying, in a life so tough,

Burn my eyes, I don’t want to see
And break my soul, so I’ll never be
I only have one life to live
Can’t wonder who I’ll be with,

The hang man nods in silence
And the gun man strikes for violence
All those drowned souls that never made
Through the poison I’ll always fade,

Angels take, while demons break
For my heart deserves an iron steak
How can life ever be fun?
Staring down the barrel of a gun.
