Open Arms

Bloodshed
For no apparent reason
We weep without thought
Point fingers without guilt
Pardon the world
For all its misfortunes
There's always someone to blame
Celebrate tragedy
Bathe ourselves in the blood of the innocent
Let life continue
To carry on with no intention
Living for pain
While another one dies
Desire all
Greed for all time
We welcome violence
With open arms
Then question
Why we live in fear

Falsehood

A lion's roar
Projected from a mouse
These words are strong
Too strong for your will
Shake the cage
When no one can hear
Present anger in one ear
And total remorse in another
Don't open your mouth
If all your going to do is clench your teeth
And whisper nonsense
Turn your back
On those once spoken words
And what you have believed in
For the sake of another
In the end
There will always be boys
Pretending to be men

Charity Case

We tend to fall back
On the pain of the past
How much longer
Can we stare down the hole
Expecting something from nothing
That we'll find a way
From walking in the opposite direction
We blame others
Neglecting a finger on ourselves
For our poor turnouts
It always someone's fault
Just not our own
We are a charity case
To be caressed and coddled
Till the very day we die
Lack of responsibility
Shows the way

Nine One One

People fall around us
On a daily basis
Yet no one cares
Only when it appears on the news
Does someone shed a tear
Or decide to care
This world is shallow
And we all know it
We need an excuse to have a heart
Open your eyes
This is life
It's always been like this
Our ego precedes us
We set a standard of living
Think we're better
Think we're safe
Well we thought wrong

Reflections Upon Us

We all have a reflection
Upon where we see each other
Everyone has their moments
All we see is beauty
All we see is ugliness
We are our own prejudice
The best kept secret from ourselves
We aren't all we project
A life within a life
That you will never know
There is always something to disbelieve
Masks of insecurity
Required as a daily ritual
We lose ourselves in these facades
It comes to the point
Where we finally look into a mirror
Only to deny our reflection
Not even recognizing the face looking back

Nothing To Prove

What are the reasons
To prove a love to the world
Does perfection actually exist
Or is it just a made up word
Only to describe just how imperfect everything is
Why the public display
If you both know how great it is
Confessing your love to any ears that will listen
Leaving out the one that matters
Planning a future
Doesn't necessarily mean youll make it
Pinpointing progress
That could easily turn into failure
Love is no game
You cant control all the pieces

Up Above(Down They Fall)

I hate the world
That claims itself
With a knife
Right through its heart
Down on your knees
Heavy is the hit
That knocks you from your pedestal
