If you see me standing alone
In the dark, with no one around
Just let me be
I'm tired
If you see me crying
Sobbing in great pain
Just leave me alone
I'm tired
If you hear me through the walls
Screaming, "Life's not fair!"
Just ignore me
I'm tired
Life is hard, it's cruel
Just let me cry and scream
Just leave me alone
I'm tired
When I can't stand it anymore
When I ask for your advice
Then you can help me
But, until then, just leave me
I'm tired
I came and saw you
Drinking your poison and wasting your life away
Do you know that you're slowly killing me?
A pain in my chest and my soul bleeds
Down your throat it burns
You stumble to bed with eyes barely open
Do you hear my cries?
My tears are for you
I fade, choking on my wasted youth
Kill me now, I'll die first
A toxic concoction controlling your life
It will bury me
We're watching eachother die
Without emotion
I may as well be sleeping for eternity
Can't you tell?
I can't feel it anymore
Slap a smile on and walk out the door
Without a body
Your beauty slips away and you can't get a grip
I wonder why you're doing this to yourself
Why you let the acids bring you to Hell
Kill me now, I'll die first
A toxic concoction controlling your life
It will bury me
We're watching eachother die
A toxic concoction
It's killing you and I
No more emotion
If you die, I die
Kill me now, I'll die first
A toxic concoction controlling your life
It will bury me
We're watching eachother die
Kill me now, I'll die first
A toxic concoction controlling your life
It will bury me
We're watching eachother die
I'm watching you
You're watching me
We're watching eachother die
You were so close.
I could have kissed you and no one would have seen.
You said, "Time is not on my side."
My eyes burned as you turned away and stepped back into the darkness.
When I couldn't see you anymore, and when I was sure that you couldn't see me, I fell to my knees and sobbed.
The sun slowly began to rise.
In the distance I heard a faint, agonized wail.
A hurried breeze came and ran through my hair. The familiar coolness kissed my face.
And then came the bitter and dangerous stench of fire and ash.
"It's cold," I said.
You wrapped your arms around me and whispered, "It will all be over soon."
The rain came down, colder than I had expected it to be, and I shivered once more.
"Soon," you cooed. "Soon."
"I want it to end now," I began to cry.
"Patience is the only thing holding us together now," you said.
I stifled my sobs and waited for the pain to stop. I felt myself fading away, melting into you.
"It's over," I heard your voice from far away and I opened my eyes.
The rain had stopped, the moon released her glow from behind the clouds, and I felt the warmth. The fire had died, there was nothing left but ash. Strange, I felt so relieved now upon looking at it.
I knew at that time that you were with me. I turned and I knew I wouldn't see you there, but you were inside of me.
My heart began to beat with a newfound strength, and I strolled through the night just knowing that I would never be alone again.
As I sit and write my heart to you
A chill sweeps over my body
Years have passed, your arrival past due
And, yet, there has been nobody
A draft in in the study
A sigh in the hall
Your cologne in my bedroom
And a steady footfall
My hopes were brought up as I searched for your face
I stood by the door for your strong embrace
But it's been too long, my hopes brought down
And I know, in body, you are not around
By day, I work slowly and wait
For the night, for my dreams
When I can see your loving face
Oh, Unforgotten Love, I will be with you again
Unfortunately, I cannot say when
But I will not cry anymore
I will not wait for you by the door
For you are here with me
In spirit, anyway
And I will survive another day
Just knowing that, as crazy as it seems
You will visit in my dreams
I will see you in my dreams
Cyanide wishes
Arsenic dreams
As the candle's are snuffed
Nothing is as it seems
Waiting for the darkness
The darkness I fear
Wasting my days
My future unclear
The people around me
They all live and grow
And I lay in my wonders
Afraid of what I don't know
Oh, cyanide wishes
And arsenic dreams
They are more deadly
Than they seem
I hide from the light
The way it shimmers and gleams
I've been poisoned by cyanide wishes
And arsenic dreams
Last night, I sat beside my open window and took a deep breath.
The early spring air cooled my face as I looked up towards the sky.
Strange, the stars seemed to gaze back down at me.
Odd, they looked sad for me.
As I looked on in wonder, thoughts of you flooded my mind.
I thought of your face, your smile, your kiss,
And I knew then why the stars were sad for me.
Every night I sat beside my open window, and I thought of you.
I waited for you.
And here I am, still waiting.
I can now feel my heart crumbling, the depression crushing it with a cold, hard fist.
How long must I wait for you?
When will the changes begin?
When will I ever know that I can have faith in you?
Will I ever know?
Last night, I stared at the stars and I cried.
I cried for you, my love.
I cried for what you are giving up.
I cried for what I was losing.
And then it began to rain, the stars were weeping as well.
And I knew that, with time between us, we might be no more.
