Wasted days make the soil rich with all we could have been.
Through speckled leaves and moon lit trees I watch the river flow away.
Back the way we came along the stream and to the star lit sea.
Blood dew dawn, is a poor excuse for never ending sleep.

No Banging

Remember, hours that we spent just, laying in my room wishing that we could lock the door.
And all the times we, lay within this darkness. Waiting for the right chance to just run away. But as you know... We can't let go. When our actions have such consequences!
No banging til the 19th of October. Live a straight edge so we're all staying sober. Keep it clean so I'm not a teenage father but it's hard when you're so close to keep these urges all at bay. When you're in love and you don't care the world can shut up and f**k itself cos' it's my life and your my love. You're the apple in my eye my darkest truth my deep desire. There's nothing I won't do with you.
And we're gonna see Good Charlotte!
I've got this feeling in my gut that says it's not ever enough, despite this parents say it's far too much but as you know, I would do it all. Just to show you how much I love you but we can wait. It's never too late. And your mum don't want her grand kids right now!

Scarecrows

My heart speaks out my thoughts are proud. Ravens come to spread their angel wings. Come with me and pray to see the scarecrows dance tonight. For every lie the forest grows I've got you in my sights. Come with me and pray to see the scarecrows dance tonight!
Call my Name, hold my hand. We will battle through the ages taking troubles as they come! If loneliness is safe then I'm as safe as thoughts in cages. Buried in my lies!
Fake my laugh, take my pride. I am sinking in the sand that measures out my running time, so call me when you're older cos' you know that I'll be dead, and waiting for you here!

Angel Blood

A throw back to that Friday. And the blood stained bones that cover up that fox pit room. A wedding of the dark and gloom, so join in holy matrimony. Oh would an angel sleep with eyes closed, cos' it's not my sin she'll see please hear my plea, just one more day to hear you say it.
I'll use you. I'll use you like the pawn you are a stitched up scar, the madam of my perfect moment. I'll use you. I'll use you like a tainted to dream to twist and scream, cos' borrowed time won't take me too far!
Don't lose hope in what you trust, empty space is safer now. Guided fear and mislead trust, a symptom of the hurt.
Running all these nightmares through my mind, I won't listen to the voices in my head... Hating all the demons in my soul, they sit upon my skull playing games and calling names. Cos' the world is all but fun, and I miss the lonely blood stains on the floor that drip from all these severed arteries!

The day is closing just another for the diary. I'm counting down until I reach my filthy hole in the ground. I know no care you'd wish to share can't even spare me a prayer. For my small insignificant existance.
My feeble tally growing gradually forever nearing history. And the clock doesn't disagree! The valuation of my soul like a stone in a river, I wanna live forever and ever... HIGH!
So give all my thoughts to a dying star, a beautiful issue...
My trust of the light to only tell me what's right, turns out is as feeble as my finite life.
A flaming giant has even further to fall, a sight to make you ohhhohhhoh...
The perfect semis and it'll burn in your eyes, thoughts for a planetary nebula!
So in a way I guess you'd say I've been feeling down, and at a push could say I fell but it ain't easy to tell. I gotta wonder if it'd ever be for better or worse, still the hands they slowly turn like a merry go round...

Body Bag

Say you don't know, say you don't miss the feeling! I don't owe you, I don't owe you anything!
We're slowly rotting... Underground!
I'll say a prayer as I pull out the pin, and stay awake in this flea ridden bed. Don't go to sleep, you'll be dreaming with the rats. No room for comfort in this cold body bag...

If it be blunt I'm getting bored I can't read minds we're not alike. My last resort to shut you out or out right try to piss you off! I'm riding shotgun to your madness all the time I can't deny, one more time for old times sake may be enough to get you off.
Trying to remember what it is i did? Must have been bad to earn myself what's come around!
I've got to find a way out, I need to find an excuse! You'll never take me alive, I'll find a way to survive. We'll use the fire escape, they'll all be chasing my cape! You'll have to tie me to the ground to stop me making this sound...
There's no denying your persistence is a little admirable. I swear to god I'm so damn bored but you just never seem to quit. Nearly a week and I don't think I really wanna carry on. It ain't my problem no wait it is cos' you've just never had enough!

Midnight Solitude
04:36
|

|
We live indoors because this world is whored, so keep the cards held close to your chest. Every day is a fight to find the best in what we've got. Find peace in little things...
And I don't wanna be the one who came, the one who came and never went. So I sit indoors surrounded by the rain. I'll be the one they put to shame, the shame that stays the same, cos' I won't be roped into your social game!
Time well spent counting down our days, please give me something more. I don't mind this lonely feeling, I'll just mind alone...

Falling Asleep
04:03

Through the ages we have seen, I'm still wondering... I'm still wondering does the moon have seasons too? Though the birds won't sing along and the winter never comes, it's always cold and put in song, and in summer blocks the sun...

HMS Surrender
04:12
|

|
This is my punishment. This is my persecution. There's no legality in this taking of life. There is no victim, this harm is self inflicted. I'll carve my misery with blades onto my wrist...
Tired of living in this world, need a chance to run away. Run away with all my shame. Come back another day. If you could put up with my pain I'll be your secret stow away. Hide myself forever aboard the HMS Surrender...
Is my life wasted on burning hidden regrets? I'll keep on running from what karma won't forget. I'll flee from justice, I'm scared to carry on and I'll keep on striving for my undeserved success.
