Here are some lyrics I wrote for Minus Zero. This stuff is copyrighted, so don't even think about reciting them!

It's Me Yet Not Me

Behind the Mask

I wear a mask of innocence,
But can you see the real me?
My hands are stained with dirt and blood,
but they are not my own.

I laugh and smile like everyone else,
but can you see whats underneath?
Broken walls, shattered spirit,
thats what I really am,
lies are what I preach,
revenge to me is sweet.

Chorus : A coin that has four faces,
A sun that never rises,
An exit that leads to nowhere,
That's what you made me.
I'm not the person you think I am,
I can't go back to who I use to be,
This is who I am, eternally.

I sing a song
to block out
the sound of
my shattering heart,
The shards of my soul,
like broken fragments,
scatter in this world of treachery,
Where can i find peace?
Where can i find hope?
Only time will tell,
Because this is me,
Yet not really me.

I'm Sorry

Forgiveness is just words of Sympathy

Numbness, it pains me,
Your coldness seems unreal,
Please tell me,
What have I done wrong?

I'm sorry I'm not perfect,
A burden is all I am,
My existence, minuscule,
I'm sorry for being alive,
I'm sorry for still standing,
Please tell me where do I go now?

I'm packing up my bags,
to a destination unknown,
is this what you wanted?
My tears are freely falling,
with no hands to catch them,
they slip between my fingers,
down towards the ground.

Do you wish you could turn back time?
To undo whole decision,
Perhaps erase me from you memory,
Save you from the pain
that was made to be?

But even now, that seems impossible..

Dying Away

When everything spirals out of control

Maybe I'll just run away,
or take a panadol or two,
just remember that
I'm doing all this for you.

I was always the
rock in your shoe,
the fly in your soup,
the speck in you eye.

You've yelled at me,
screamed at me,
that's just you,
so what am I to do?

It hurts to open my eyes,
I think I'll stay here thanks,
watching the world pass me by,
without me standing there.

My skin is the canvas,
My blade -- the brush,
let me paint a picture,
for you.

I'm tired of living my life,
not knowing when it's gonna end,
or where it goes,
a secret path to an unknown territory.

The grass ain't getting greener,
just a dried up brown,
the sky is getting darker,
just like this song.

I'm not living my life,
just dying day by day,
hoping that death will whisk me away.

Thank you for the inspiration,
to write this melody,
so now I bow,
and bid farewell,
as I leave for my next life's journey.

Caged Bird

Freedom isn't Everything

This song was inspired by a doujin entitled "I want To Be Your Bird"

For whatever reason,
When I'm lonely,
I only want to bury
This happiness in front of me.

Love to me is like fireworks,
Only to be looked at from afar,
untouchable,
surrounded by flames.

You're something I can only look up,
and long for in my heart,
Something unattainable.

But here we are,
Sharing a forbidden moment,
Both of us,
Feeling them same,
Even if its just for a moment,
I feel alive,
through the beating,
Of our unsteady hearts.

Chorus: Trapped in a cage,
unable to fly,
Even if you never loved me,
Let me live by your side,
Lock me away,
and throw away the key,
to me freedom isn't everything,
as long as I feel a sense of belonging.

My heart is like the flames,
entwined by destiny, untameable,
I find myself knowing,
Even if I were gone,
The world would keep going,
Unconcerned, Unmoved,
By the absence of my flames.
