What do You See

I look in the mirror and I look distorted
Trying to clear the focus
My skeletons behind me haunting me
Hardship from memories
Damaged my body and corrupted my soul
"Don't try to run. We can catch you."
I heard someone from behind
Thought I...

Happen

I didn't hear the feather drop.
I didn't see the time stop.
I close my eyes tomorrow came.
I open my eyes,
The world has...

Numb

I'm a photograph detaching from everything inside of me
Feeling of hollowness as the picture fade slowly
Dryness in mouth
Stories told by strangers
Lying dormant in dark
My image grow dim and suddenly disappear
I died a thousand times
Just to...

Isolate

Hi...Hello...Smile...Pain...Forgive yourself...No...Smile...Pain... For me...For you...Blink...Know better...Stop thinking...

The wall never crumble
The smile never there
A tender look turns into death
Dying in Hell alone should be lonely...

What do I have to do to get you to love me

What do I have to do to get you to love me
Be a star
Play sports or go up far
Do what you say
Or say what you did
Be nice
Have good looks
Or read good books
Can I cook
Oh, sure
If you'll be with me that my cure
Can I sing
Can I dance
If you'll be...

That Way of Thinking

I abolish that way of thinking along time ago
My wealth is life
My health is my friends and love ones that fill me with peace
I absolve myself from blame
Absorb everything that is said and done
To deep to be measured
Trying to confuse me by throwing...

Lost Soul

Down and out , out and in
I look, but say no more
I speak, but I haven't spoken
Darkness is my destiny
Happiness is my pain
Hope and dreams vanish when I blink
Cry, but no tear will come
Feel, but feel empty inside
Can see far, but nothing at all...

Job Killer

Beware of the bee
Be careful of the sting
It is not just a sting
It is death
And not just death
It's a journey
The light is waiting
The silence of foot steps coming near
Rainbows at night
Smile again
Smile
Beyond the time set
Dying for a stated...

Fading

Once upon a time I had hope
Went down the wrong path and made a U-turn
Could not make another
I will find myself again
But it fades as I think
That experience and feeling
Why is it so dangerous?
Seeing the beginning but always at the...

Dark

Absent of the face that is so familiar
Unfavorable for my wicked ways
My body which tortures my spirit
And was turned into a living corpse
Bow before the judge
The difficult road of trials
Many years elapsed while I sleep
Trying to put the conceited...

My New Life

It will happen or not happen
Then I will wait for tomorrow
I'll never stop mooning the sunrise
And the continual flow of the river
Could I be content until tomorrow ease my mind
Concussion to my brain
They condemn me to death
But what did I do...

Color

False to a friend
True to a enemy
You lead me down a different path
Overflowing with excitement to a boiling point
Harsh words bruising my feeling and burning my flesh
Trying to change the color of my skin without breaking it
Changing position was a...
