I can feel her inside of me A demon that yerns for pain Eating her way through my will Rising through my every vein What happens when she takes over? Will the crows take out my eyes? Wingless angels won't pay respect To a soul built out of lies She'll take me to the edge Slit my wrists with my own hands Tell me everything's my fault That I'm the cause of crying lands I can't hold on much longer She's putting up the walls The demon's the one behind those eyes Her laughter covering my faded calls

The shadow in the corner Plays upon the strings A harp made of my veins Each note sorely rings Call yourself harmony When the chaos has been slain Wear a crown of orchids The apperitions of your pain Stare at me with unsettleed eyes Into the abyss of my forgiveness Taste me with a jaded tongue The sweetness of the merciless Make amends with conciliated angels Before you're reborn in this ardent dream Enjewel the mask that hides your lies Virtue a prize you can't redeem Go back to sleep child of sin Lie and wait until she drops Once the shadow takes you in The music stops...

Have you seen my will to live? It seems I have misplaced it Was it stolen by my love Did he lose it or did he waste it. Have you seen my will to live? It's gone from stone to dust Scattered by the destined wind Crumbled in piles of what once was trust. Have you seen my will to live? Do you think I'll ever find it? Gone so long and losing hope Running out of ways to fight it. Have you seen my will to live? I think it's gone too far Maybe once I'm dead and gone It will end the embodied war.

A girl walks through the graveyard Finds the stone that bears her name Marble angels cry to save her But her spirit, sorrow has slain Memories of misery Chain her to a hollowed body Forever cursed to reherse A death deemed ungodly Following her own footsteps Hearing her own screams Will she ever wake up From the chaos of her dreams The moonlight draws her closer To the mirrow in her tears Will someone call to her Or will whispers be all she hears A reflection of imperfection Disappointment's all she can see But when she turns around All I see is me..

Beckoned by your screaming My memories failed your order, failed me Hung up on this cross you've built Wish you could see the view Is my blood too bitter to be your wine No ambrosia dare touch your lips Is it fear of rejection or acceptence That pushes me away Woken by your lullaby That's written in my eulogy Chanted while I hang Wish you could see the view Scar me as I mimic That mask you wear so well Finally you'll leave with no thought Not even a question of my painted smile Laying with the roots, I can tell Your smiling beind that black veil and tears As I'm lowered, your back is turned Wish you could see the view...

I woke up in the darkness The only windows through my eyes All I could do was watch And soak up all your lies The old wounds have reopened The same sick feeling all over again Will I ever heal completly Or will I feel infection begin So many questions in my mind No more feeling in my heart The lock on my thoughts can't be broken Can't tell life and nightmare apart I gave you all that I had left And you threw it all away Now stuck behind the looking glass Watching the colors fade to grey It seems I've been infested Always foresaken and forgotten Betrayel is my shadow A fight my heart has faught in

Insperation drained Out through the vein Washed dwon the gutter In this blinding rain On this faceless day In this wastless hour Wanting to jump but shaking, I cower Away from you Far from me I sit alone In this naked tree Branches tighten Holding me closer She whispers to me Like no  one knows her Catching my breath But it's out of my grasp Flies too fast Leaving me with this rasp Can't cry out Can't scream your name Not even sanity Left to claim Eroded away by my own tears The sobbing saint Who's God never hears Her longing for mercy Begging for light Praying to no one Been fooled by her sight

Behind the wall of golden crosses I lie among the sinner's flesh All I hear are the apostles whisper The demons burning on my chest Forgive me holy Father I remember I once was there But the one small breath of true freedom I was thrown out cold and bare Exiled by their word Their book laughing in my face Papercuts scarred in my eyes Deafened by "Amazing Grace" So many times I've reentered the gates To wings of ice, backs turned Cast out to the dark again To this torment I wont return

Just a picture on a wall Colors mixed with tears The artist's brush had lingered On uncovering the fears The making of a materpiece A masterpiece from far beneath Begging for the cries to cease So slick with grease, my disasterpiece The eyes so open, can't hide away Seeing through the shadded truth The smile innocently fading Covering the jagged tooth The living of a masterpiece A breathing piece, no longer sheathed Lending out a loyal lease A perfect crease, my disasterpiece Slowsly fading from the light Taken off the red stained wall Beauty's lost, drained out the canvas Covered in dust, left to fall The dying of a maste

The flowers are dying, colors fading Having fed upon my poisoned tears Petals are falling, turning to dust The ashes of my darkest fears The rose's thorns cut down my spine Bleeding the words never spoken Silent to the ears of man A siren's song of spirits broken A window through a sky of ghosts Trying to behead their past demon Lost in the empty eyes of sorrow Wishing to wake, but not stop dreamin' Here I stand as mute as God Waiting to hear my damnnation Going to reopen all my scars From all of my attempted salvation
