Am I Not Merciful

I can feel it as it happens
My skin crawling, beginning to boil
As though my organs are unaffected
But my body only knows one thing to do
To let it grow from the inside out
Until my anger causes your soul to melt

Then when you lay dead...

Circles

You're never the same again
And I'm stuck in a long lost past
Thinking about tomorrow
Hoping you'll be thinking of me
Before it was all over

But it's always someone else
That takes my place
No matter how many times we try
We're...

Daily Reminders

Daily reminders

Our past haunts me
Like flashbacks in the day
Nightmares of the night
Either way, I’m without you
And all we do is fight

I hear songs that bring me back to you
I love you one second, than hate you the next
My...

Sometimes

Sometimes I remember
Others I want to forget
But it's that struggle
That helps it live on
It happens more than I'd like to admit

Sometimes I daydream
Though I seem lost
I'm happy where I am
For it's what happened
That made me into...

Death Pain and Hate

I hold my breath
For moments that never happen
Just to see if I turn blue
Cause if I'm not breathing
I don't feel...
I won't have to think of you

You're a memory
And a nightmare
I love you, I hate you
I miss you
But you're never...

Once I Was a Hardened Soldier

Imagine a grey world
Where it only rains ash
The clouds are black
And the ground is like powder
The winds stir up an aftermath
Of victory and of power

Yet...only defeat remains
Only those strong enough
To sail those winds of change...

Forgive and Forget?

Living in a memory
They say
Is not how to live
I need to let go
Forgive and Forget

But at these heights
The fall from letting go
Would kill most
Yet, I'm supposed to survive
Enjoy the ride
And forget the ghost

Even when...

Makes Me Wonder

Everything is changing
Like the time of the seasons
What we all thought was known
And grown custom to
Makes me wonder
What will stay the same?
Only the past, the water under the bridge
All the experiences I've been through
What about...

The Lighthouse

Escape to me
I'll be waiting
Look for the lights in the dark
Through the foggy mist of doubt
There you will find me
Just beyond reason
And anything else you care about

Walk with me
Hand in Hand
Keep walking lightly, softly
Lock...

Singularity

You are a light
In the darkest places of my mind
Relativity is only perception
Yet your love always freezes time

 Be the strong hand to lift me up
And ill nurture you when you are weak
Be the safe haven to my heart...
locked in a box in...

Time In a Mirror

A waltz...
My eyes dance as they stare
Every morning and every night
I stand in front of that mirror

 
Counting seconds
To add hours
Watching the days pass by
Only growing older
Unable to break this glass of time

When will the...

Never Came Home

Raise your right hand
And swear in an alliance
Sign your life away
To fight evil
And everyone who dares to be defiant

For from boys to men
Their mothers cry
Proud of what has grown
What he has formed in to
A monster unknown
