I'm lost again Floating on clouds of black thought To the places I'm not sure of really wanting to be. could you rescue me? I'm lost again I've been thinking a lot about the end And the things that I told you every neatly worded lie The deception I crafted Came from my very desperate mind In my heart of hearts I knew it wasn't the truth but I needed something to feel right And sometimes when you're at your darkest All you want is to remember home And while I may not of been totally capable of repentance I still didn't want to feel alone So I'm lost again Drinking in the lies Carried by a dark consciousness And familiarizing my self with thoughts of demise

Step into the blackest of minds The perversion of grace So their talons can cut inside They come a little closer with the trust that makes them clean But our absence of morality will destroy every dream There is an exit but a true escape you will never find Because inside your mind there is realities to bleak to rewind . The marks and the gashes will fade But the true wounds glow bright red every time someone offers to pray. The wolf has never had to work so much less As if the lambs lay down in front of him and open their necks And with a single bite Their destroyed adolescence becomes his meal for tonight Welcome to the darkest of souls Where the ashes gather from the hearts fires now cold. There is now darkness greater than someone masks it with light

Stillborn 03:21
"Stillborn" Such joy. Such love At the notion that the "weight" was over. I've always gazed and wondered how you made it through. The weight of want and its denial was so powerful But we kept trying For a face to replace the pain A cry to silence the hearts longings Then the news came And the tears irrigated the plains of your soul The knowledge he would be ours was amazing But the thought he would be yours was enough To erase the journeys scars But heroes die and so did our (miracle) And all the light in the room left at the sight Of your lifeless figure A body with no soul A hand with no power to hold Destroying in an instant everything A cry to silence the hearts longings Then the news came And the tears irrigated the plains of your soul After the brightest sun comes the heaviest rain I was numb But She was gone And a piece of her heart washed away that day

Decay 04:42

We are not going to make it home I've lost quite a lot of blood And you are barely hanging on Its times like these that hope has moved on Went to another building And to other lives What ill miss most are my mothers eyes And the hold of my father Letting me know it would be alright And I wish I could lie one last time in my own bed And feel love surrounding me Before I layed my head A look to you And my now brittle heart breaks Because what hurts worse than my wounds is your pleading face And your outstretched hand With what feels like a last push Our fingers unite It helps to know someone is there Because now I've lost sight With a whisper of encouragement I make sure our palms lock Then nervousness washes over me as I hear another gun cock

What have I to gain? I could take you by the throat by the throat And for a few moments Still your breathing With tension With tension, shared held breath of hopelessness Exhaling a union of desperation Shaking, ugly, rusted hooks Pulling me back to you but what have I to gain If i lose my soul ? What if I let go for a moment? Regret is an imperfect lover , yet true to her word nonetheless

Demons 03:57
And what am I to say for my demons? The ones that you asked To let go of So long ago Or risk diseasing the only thing I shouldn't let go of So that every time you've reminded Me to let go. I realize just how deep their hold Has grown into my soul A charred representation A dramatic turn of life Where we once were side by side and step by step I have let them reside in the recess Of my mind So that every time you've reminded Me to let go. And the poison that only you saw has corroded holes And what am I to say for the demons I still keep? What can I say for my lust for earthly beauty Desires are my Jesus nearly as much as your son And by letting them grow Half of me hates what the other half has become
