| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flip the switch on, light the candles, turn the lights off I let the notes flow through my body They seem to know just what I need And the melody strokes me One beat, two, three, four Lay it down over and over Round and round again I let it eat me inside out And they know just how to stroke the guitar Lay it all out I let the rhythms eat all my problems away Till I'm so dizzy I forget Every cell in my body rushes And I don't know hot to stop this addiction As I let the bass beat against my heart The louder I can get it the better Let it drown out the world flying past me And my life slipping out of my fingers Just for a moment it let's me forget all that And all the pressure to be perfect drips out of me I listen to the words and let my tears rip me open I move in bliss as it all goes round Until the disk is done I'll be alright Even if it's just for a while I can pretend that my life is okay ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'll slink into the deadly shadows Hiding deep within the silent night Another handsome young man Poisoned from my dizzying bite Serated knife blades and horror-fed fires fill my head I'll brand a new lover Taking him to the brink of extacy As he writhes against cold steel A bed made of the blackened clouds that soothe me A ceiling of rain and lightening, my comforts A coverlet of the finest silk All dashed upon a floor of pain Listening to his dying heartbeat As I wait, wanting only a devoted, loving companion To make my darkened eternity a little easier to bare He will be mine Upon this bed I buck and thrash As his anger reaches out and the whip marrs my flesh Another crimson slash Adding to endless bruises of past tortures At last he is gone And as I curl up on my bed of destruction I listen to the storm within my deadened heart Forcing my battered body up, I am gone Fled into the night Only to find another lover to die with each night I cry |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I stand outside Staring into the rain As I try not to touch The sharp edge of my pain Hoping that someday Someone will notice me Trying to figure out What the meaning of my life could be Hearing echoing silence As I probe deep inside Find my true self Knowing my memories never lied Passing those around me Without blinking an eye Stop every once and again To realize my life is passing me by And their taunts and words Resound in my ears Drowning out all the times Of happiness and cheer And I just barely grasp This thread of hope I know I'm drowning But I don't know how to cope And people around me Pass me by Ignoring the fact That I'm dying inside |
