6. October 28
1. Lead Astray
throughout these years of emptiness
yearned nothing but recess
somehow survived to face another day
face another fear
against all odds, and against the grain
some hope remained
when you were nothing
when you were nothing but portraits
would you say surviving is an art
though the poet should be plagued
to me it's rather sad
life's leading me astray
impaled by truth, visualise the lies within
fed by disbelief
in the maze once called mind
where the right's completely wrong
would you say surviving is an art
though the poet should be plagued
to me it's rather sad
to me it's rather sad...
the years are passing full of let-downs
makes anger become pure hate
a bitter cynic's evolving
better stay out of my way
the noises around me
the noise of entertainment
the nuisance surrounds me
so unable to enjoy
so unable to enjoy
so unable...
so unable to enjoy
2. Hope for Remembrance
when love turns to loss
i can only hope for remembrance
all things taken for granted
are wiped away
i'm left to search through the shatters of a lost soul
reasons will never reveal, as time goes by
disappearing deeper in the shadows of yesterday
will i ever tell the difference
between grief, hate and anger
i wonder, will i care
will i ever tell the difference
between fear, fate and hatred
i wonder, do i dare
who would tell me i'm wrong
how will they know?
noone can tell me how to react
less how i feel
preventing me by judging me
will i ever tell the difference
between grief, hate and anger
i wonder, will i care
will i ever tell the difference
between fear, fate and hatred
i wonder, do i dare
deep on my way back to face the memories
filling the holes in my soul with bitterness
all to replace every bit i lost when i lost you
bitterness i grew to like
i now need
3. Frantic
time has come and saddens silent
a final sigh then all turns black
time is here for absolution
pray forgivness for sins acheived
hollow and cold inside, regret's aching in you
exposed to life - you turn away
have you ever dealt with sadness
far worse than what's to come
soon panic reigns supreme
frantic shrieking as worlds collapse
hollow and cold inside, regret's aching in you
exposed to life - you turn away
a sickening end to a sickening man
the chaos inside is spreading throughout
there's no place to run, there's no place to hide
the end you will face, the end you will see
up-close indeed - too late to repent
4. Transfixed
see through your lies, gestures tell the tale
grande moral reduction, a cut down in honesty
praise the icon of torment, make me disappear
see through shallow smiles
just another empty gesture
realize the nothingness
creeping on every time
leaving me a gaping hole
can't go back to how it was before
see-through, shallow smiles
just another empty gesture
at the crossroads of poor judgement
at least try to make it right
it's a constant lack of reason
always, no matter what
the decision-making's faulty
please try and set it straight
it's a constant state of hurting
as we both turned to ourselves
transfixed for hours on end
sit, observe the shadows
dwell upon these soaring thoughts
their haunting, ever louder
see through shallow smiles
just another empty gesture
realize the nothingness
creeping on every time
leaving me a gaping hole
can't go back to how it was before
see-through, shallow smiles
just another empty gesture
5. Undone
dreams in black and white
days of only grey
no wonder we tire
no wonder we sometimes leave early
everything undone, even a moments worth
everything i've said, is nothing i'm sure
everything unsaid, even the smallest things
everything i've done, is nothing i'm sure
search through the depths
what do you find
so useless to hide
cannot leave the things you want
everything undone, even a moments worth
everything i've said, is nothing i'm sure
everything unsaid, even the smallest things
everything i've done, is nothing i'm sure
everything means nothing
i can't prevent this fall
everything means nothing
this is my time to break apart
all is tried, i want nothing
staring at the decay around me
there's nothing i can do to escape
everything means nothing
i can't prevent this fall
everything means nothing
this is my time to break
alone I break apart
why can't i leave this be
just forevermore
questions add up, never to be answered
awaken with hope, is it worth it
is it worth this..?
everything undone, even a moments worth
everything i've said, is nothing i'm sure
everything unsaid, even the smallest things
everything i've done, is nothing i'm sure
thoughts of hurt i try to leave behind
numerous tiny downsets, adding up inside
i tried to leave behind
numerous tiny downsets, adding up in my mind
these are the things forever kept in mind
buried underneath, this shroud of words
6. October 28
just one more day
take it as it comes
each and every day
there's a new burden to bear
just one more day
a million thoughts to kill
one more day of hurting
so many more to go
lower your standard
to appreciate my deeds
it's another day
and mourning dawns once more
lessen all expectations
open up your eyes
lose the image you have
realize i'm nothing to you
not worthy of praise
unworthy of life
not grateful enough
taking everything for granted
lower your standard
to appreciate my deeds
it's another day
and mourning dawns again
