SubtleLiesAndNoiselessTruth
The glass is not that empty. The glass will never see itself full.
Another pair of eyes would look at this ghostly state
And say that maybe there is something else.
Only I am able to see this depression
For what it truly is. Coming...

Everyone fears not being good enough
but there is more to this life than being just right
it’s working towards greatness
to emulate your truest light
& everyday strive to shine twice as bright.
Don’t settle for good enough

Funny how things use to be
How words turned to lies
Promises faded into air
Loved turned into loss
Hurt turned into scars on our arms
The people that should mean the most don't
Loved ones turn on us
Hatred now fuels us...

I wanted so much.
I wanted to go to college.
I wanted to be a mother.
I wanted to love and be loved.
I'll be lucky if I get any of that.
I'll get none of that.
I thought that when I grew up I'd be beautiful.
I thought wrong.
I'm...

Sometimes you have to put everything on one chance
Give everything you have and hope for the best
Walking on a tight rope high above the city
Everyone is watching
They are waiting for you to fall
Always give everything, it can be...

Watching the road disappear neath the wheel,
thinking and wondering just how do I feel.
Leaving behind all those that I love,
especially the one sent to me from above.
This woman I feel who is deep in my heart.
This woman I feel I can...

Night time neath the southern skies,
campfire at my side.
Thinking about the one I love,
the feelings I cannot hide.
My heart is pounding right out my chest,
it’s missing its regular beat.
My body is trembling...

The blood that is shead
Is too much to ignore
I can't control myself
The sight
The taste
Is all there is
It's what I need
It's what i breath
It's my life

I am here but I’m not yours
I followed you around, so I could be hit by truth
I walked alone down this neon street
It seemed you were happy to see me
until she came between
There is no confusion
It just became clear to me
no need...

Dear Sam,
It might be time to break that old habit of yours
You still leave without saying goodbye
I understand you’re one of those ‘shy guys’
And need alcohol to free your mind.
All the hours we talked about politics and history...

You can make everything about living so wonderful
If in skies of gray, you paint your heart in colorful
rays of dreams you think this world is to awful to conceive.
Bring out the beauty in the world you want to see.

When there will be light?
to guide us at night,
Like when the rain stops
and sun shines...
When there will be peace?
to end war, my only wish,
Love and forgiveness
to take its place...
When there will be happiness?
to end this...

I'm like a cloud drifting aimlessly, always changing shape,
Almost disappearing from the sky, I don't have any lape
I can't escape from this prison, I keep hiding behind these drapes
Scarred, but you can't see it,
Screaming but you can...

To live within a shining gem,
a Nirvana made of glory.
We must embrace and not condemn,
This fairy-tale that is our story.
A fairy-tale veiled in lies,
to keep us all in line.
Take a moment, open your eyes,
see the world's true design...

For years we were separate, but never apart. We are the same, both troubled in our own way. For we were cut from the same cloth. Two ugly ducklings in a big old pond. You are my saving grace, my friend. For no one feels my pain, my...

Clipped wings.
Clip my growing wings.
Tie me to earth's dirt.
Increase the time of my lingering.
I'll still hear it.
Hear your moaning scent.
It's steps echo in my ear,
rendering your pleading unclear.
Clipped wings

I don't want to progress slower into the darkness. I want to stay myself.
I don't want to forget everything I have struggled for. For I have struggled for everything I have.
I don't want to be on medication to be myself again. I have...
