Red-eyed rats scuttle boldly Through deep dungeons Littered with the bones Of children and dwarfs. The unblinking faces Of naked hunch-backed Wraiths peer from nooks And crannies Clogged with fetid human waste And decaying remains Of the ones gone before. Perched atop a golden mountain Of loot, stocky troll jailors Gorge themselves On the bones of some beast, Their florid fleshy faces grin greasy, Meat strands stick In pointy teeth, And burgandy dribbles Down their chins as they Glop their wine down their gullets From giant gem studded goblets. They hurl bones gnawed sharp At the children, Starving in their shackles. They scream their arrogance to God And roll In the filth of their lucre. ... All the while above, minstrels sing and gentlefolk dance, They raise their voices To Praise the Grace of God For peaceful pastoral miles and miles Filled with deaf, dumb and blind sheep That know better than to bleet To Little Bo Peep Passed out drunk under her tree, Oblivious to her lost lambs. For purple mountains majesty, Above a fruited plain That springs forth lash With such shining towers For life, for liberty, For the freedom to sleep the days away. They scream their arrogance to God And roll In the filth of their lucre. From sea to shining sea They live the fantasy of ignorance
Bed made up, all clean and neat: Downy quilt, pressed white linen sheet. Look beneath the surface, if you dare... SEE THE BLOOD SPLATTERED EVERYWHERE. I laid in the bed you made, Chained by memories that don't fade. LOOK AT ME! I'm a dysfunctional wreck. See me shake, a cowering wretch. Wrap me up and pack me away, Because now I'm scared of the light of day. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?! I'm all screwed up, I hope you're happy. Does it make you feel strong, to break a child? Does it puff your pride for a while? You reached your goal. You carved deep scars on my tender soul. Congratulations on your success. I am a certifiable mess. But if for even one minute you think That I will breath your stink, Lie beneath your ten ton quilt; Stained with my blood and your guilt... YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN. grandpa, YOU'RE POWER HAS BEEN SHAKEN
Have you ever looked at the water And wondered how deep it was? Have you ever looked at the stars And wondered how far they were? Have you ever looked at yourself And wondered who you really are? Have you ever looked at the moon And felt a restlessness inside? Have you ever looked at blood And wanted a taste of it? Have you ever looked at yourself And hated it all? You are him. He is you. The all for one And one for all. The rage inside The taste for blood The hunger alive The kill at night. The ancient curse Lasting 'til one true of heart Will love me despite of it all.
Chocolate is black the color of Death Vanilla is white the color of Saints Strawberry is red the color of Blood Mint is green the color of all Evil. The I Scream man comes to sell you these flavors you buy Them Even though He will GIVE them away you eat Them Even though you know you know you will puke you lick Them Even though you know dogs do the same you spill Them Even though your shirt is brand new. the I Scream man drives away Laughing wickedly He know you will be back Back for more buying Back for more eating Back for more licking Back for more spilling Of course he knows His business thrives Because he sells all the flavors you want And he will be back.
I want to smash through this eternal wall Break free of all my hurt Smash my brain against the fog And swim in the dirt. Why must i live, alone with my immortal hate Crush myself like stone Please kill me, Don't give a debate. You have no choice, For i have no voice Destroy my soul now, I will be forever thankful. I can't do it alone, You've got to help me out Sometimes i feel scared Sometimes i feel alone Sometimes i feel hatred Sometimes, i just want to shout. My everlasting heart will not last for long! Kill me! Destroy me! Murder me! Mutilate me! Desecrate me! And i will be gone.
Held in the balance for too long, Teetering on the edge. I am tired now. I think the time has come To let it go. I am so tired. Strength is fading. Leaving me to fend for myself. I hate. I love. I do. I do not. I will. I will not. I have. I have not. I need a fix. I can see it In my mind, Behind my eyes. So wonderfully pale. So amazingly warm. Thrusting with life. I want it. Drink of your strength, Drink. And defeat my thirst, For my hunger is still raging. The battle peaks And the beast is winning, Once again. I can taste your sweetness. I can smell your life. I can feel its touch. So velvety, Substance like oil. Give me what I need Or I'll take it. Feed the beast! Forgive me. Incoherent thoughts of violence. Please make them stop. I am falling. And I do not want to Help it. It's easier this way!
LIFE HOLDS NO REASON Why am I here in this forsaken land, The purity of birth which life has taken from me, So young my years, yet so old my pain, Bourne on these shoulders a lifetimes sorrow. Blurred faces that pass me don't know my soul, The despair engraved upon my face, knows no place in their hearts, The purpose of this sentence, I know not, But 'til the day of departure from this land of grief, The drops which fall from my heart, will remain to stay.
I throw my voice into your ears Trying to penetrate its walls, I search for answers that aren't there, So all my words just crash and fall. Open wide your hidden heart Because I'm not your enemy, And listen to my breaking heart For then your blinded soul will see The emptiness of your locked room Because you will not let love through, See that I won't cause you pain, See that I'll be love to you. Shed your fears onto the floor And open up your guarded heart, Take all the love you want from me And see the life with me you sought.
