Smiles 03:53
What a gift a smile is In times like these Instead of clinging just to memories I’m reading faces like a comic strip Smile for me... What A gift a smile is Sincerity is everything Cures the impending doom When falling down a hole Like the hand that gives you halt Security before it all Stroll across the way to ruin Broken walls, the castle’s burning Clocks tick Words stick If you’re not real, then what is? To Believe We are Just atoms On a chemical autobahn

ICD-X 03:40
Like a stalking beast that lurks In the darkness of your thoughts It sends from time to time Shivers down your spine Like a ghost that follows you home Wherever you go It's the curse you don't want know The Shadow within your soul You can’t summon it It does not obey There's no spell to bind it In those shimmering moments of solace you find it In the corner of the eye Is where it’s hiding all the time It feeds on your need With unsetiable greed The more you feel lost, the closer it comes and the more it eats Feeding Needing Devouring you whole Aching Taking Tearing apart And swallow it all The Shadow Within... It feeds on your need With insetiable greed The more you feel lost, the stronger it gets And the more it eats Numbing your instincts And blinding your sight It comes and goes Whenever it wants It knows and you don’t It grows along with your sorrow Twisting your neck So the words can’t get out Getting behind you ...To be your shadow The Shadow Within it's calling your name The Shadow Within Driving you insane The Shadow Within Riding the pain The Shadow Within The end of the line is to die The shadow within...

Thorns 03:46
Thorns Belong Underneath the skin A foul construct, of nothingness Here or there It doesn’t matter at all Once all the pieces start falling apart They all shatter the same as they fall Existence is meaningless Futile, and at the end there is death If I don’t know the name of the game I can as well go down and drown in these flames I HATE MY LIFE, I HATE MY EYES I HATE MY VOICE, I HATE MY LIFE I HATE MY LIFE, I HATE MY EYES I HATE THE SUN, I AM AT WAR WITH TIME - Cursed and sentenced to suffer at birth Killing it all in the name of the world With Zero confidence Against zero tolerance It’s your bones against stones An asylum with the walls coming close Chained to the inside, crawling around The new day changed the locks and there’s no getting out I HATE MY LIFE, I HATE MY EYES I HATE MY VOICE, I HATE MY LIFE I HATE THE BLOOD, I HATE THE SOUND STILL I HATE TO DIE, I AM AT WAR WITH TIME Thorns Belong To the rose But the fall from the stem Thorns Belong Underneath the skin Twitching nerves along with cramps as the face distorts Wishing and praying that sunlight will end this terrible storm Whatever the purpose once was, to which were born There’s nothing left but the pain and the stress like there’s no roses left but the thorns

33 03:58
A maelstrom of water-colored clouds Turning vista upside down Your eyes have been painting all along The iris of the sun Pulling the strings Capturing things Imagine dreams Filling the canvas The wind to waves The light to the day Imagine dreams Brush it all away What you say is hitting the paper The images shimmering Ink under your skin A maelstrom of water-colored clouds Turning vista upside down Your eyes have been painting all along The iris of the sun Autonomous movements Paths drawn by your own hands Leading the way to Where words cannot be silenced Leaving The painting Freeing From this picture Channeling The spirits within Finding What truly matters

Wrong 05:36
Forever leaving a trace Behind the very step that you make Like withering flowers There goes another Closing door Striding the same path as before Shows you that you all along ...You knew you don’t belong So strange So wrong Don’t belong Faces adorn the lanes Like masks on road signs Flashing by in high rates Only you can see them Their lament of needing Thousand times louder then your requiem Killing all that you want Who knows why this is happening... Complimentary colours A happy note in a sad song Anywhere you go It’s like you don’t belong You Are torn from the outside You Are torn on the inside Too So strange Don’t belong So wrong Don’t belong You are torn You are... Don’t belong

Hours 04:29
Your face in your hands Torn asunder A wall of black Rolling thunder Ask yourself honestly How long will it take Life has its own heart beating To a different rhythm Minutes turn to hours Night turns to day And finally, thankfully, Your thoughts slip away Empty halls house greater thoughts Born only from the moment as it was Fear not the fear of regrets As those can be met Not with fire and providence But unbreakable confidence Savor the days As they will go away All that you feel Time will not heal Delete the pictures Erase the moment Giving in to what is real As it is written in the scriptures Why is it not better now? Fate takes ist toll Is it in you hands? But for how long? You do not know Pulling out the nails Of your coffin One thing left to loose Well isn’t that something?

Painbody 05:25
Not only moving forward Is the only way to get out Road blocks lead to another winning failure For the last time New, old, well known experience Try, expose Why the social experiment? When there’s more than one Failure is imminent Though a moment saves The true self from giving in The breath becomes the atmosphere It isn’t you, it isn’t real Knowing who you are Is not enough To keep pain from breaking you up So easy to surrender There’s a way out Face down Face down, there’s a way out
8.
Eyes 04:14
Seeing more Than you know Seeing more Than the light shows A distance but close No moon, no sun Spirits dance on the walls Dying to know What each turn of the keys might do To afraid to know what’s within I don’t know.. No moon, no sun But words ...RUN Feeling way different Than I thought Hearing more But understand less I listen There's nothing But a swinging cord Gone is the soul Went with the stars To the bed in the sky With their lives flying by
9.
Mirror 04:09
I am broken just like you And we both are broken through Why hold a mirror in front of you I am broken just like you And you know you broke in two As the broken spirit dies ...DIES Gods created, not as stated, as the guidelines’ set in stone Flesh shapes sculptures that are more than you bargained for Passing by the corner of the eye The dirt that will not way silently There’s the difference Between bliss and torment I am broken just like you And we both are broken through Why hold a mirror in front of you I am broken just like you And you know you broke in two An image that tells no lies As the broken spirit dies Look the mirror in the eye Seeing you, seeing true The eye of the beholder clinging to itself Is it the ignorance or the soul? Calling out for help Wishing to be dead and broken Still holding on and choking I am broken just like you And you know you broke in two An image that tells no lies Until you believe it’s true All lies LIES
10.
Honesty is a belief, That surfaces do wither Flowers bloom and burst Like the gift that keeps on giving So many questions left Is it worth to keep on living It’s not the desert sun that burns the wheels But the road the keeps ‘em spinning Thoughts are rising high Towards the sky Imaginations are surely rising Towards the horizon The colours on the canvas of your life Running down your spine Take a picture and move on You will be remembered by your seeds But not those you plant in others You need your eyes only And not another pair to see You gotta live with yourself Your the answer to all that matters You gotta live with yourself Whatever may come

Burial 03:30
The higher hill The harder the fall So thick is the book of things I wish I’d new before To Lose is to learn To win is the end How smart we must have been when it all started to burn A glimpse back That harrowing feeling that there’s no one behind your back But a Shadow In a burial gown Chasing you into a burial ground The more fatal the times The shorter is your life A BURIAL All water stalls A procession Veils of black Weeping willows Life’s such a cliché Six feet later Nothing has changed Once so strong Now so cowardly Once loud, now fading silently The fire raging The eyes molten The irritating smell of arrogance burning The more fatal the times The shorter is your life The power they muster Bursting on the crust of defeat The wall so high that no daylight will ever leave Bury your dead
