How many times have I fallen before you
How much longer can I go on To raise to my feet, to try this game again I often point fingers of blame If only my mother knew the real me Her heart would break, for I am shame Not the strong man she raised from birth A coward, a child, and a scared soul In my dreams, I can fly away And look back through tears of pain Even if I were to never awake I would still have my downtime If only my mother knew the real me Her heart would break, for I am shame Not the strong man she raised from birth A coward, a child, and a scared soul A sweet embrace from honest love Just won't be enough this time If I had the cure, to save myself I would then know how you feel If only my mother knew the real me Her heart would break, for I am shame Not the strong man she raised from birth A coward, a child, and a scared soul |

I am broken.
In spirit, body, and mind Forever cold to faith in life Mother of night, embrace me I have not forgotten Looking back on the years of last With so much pain to bare I am broken Nights forgotten its son of brave And turned her back on bitterness Torn is my duality Judging the force of things yet old Trivia in forsaken thoughts Of tomorrow's crushing blow A calming plea, follow the day Two fold, I stand to ache Given to me by pitiful life Desperate time, to pass in stride How does anyone ever know? False dreams, and lesser faith Can you look me in the eyes And tell me everything's all right? If we talk about tomorrow How can I stop your tears? Separation of life and mind Comfort, the quest for time Suffer day, and hallowed night In dark realms to betray Left here for the devouring dogs To feast upon my very pride One thing I will never forget That I am only a man And I am broken Failure I cannot fix False hope for nothing This is the life I lead And tomorrow will not change |

I can't control when I was afraid
So far away, from any choice I have Here in this day, I continue to fear Simple as I am, It's always on my mind Somewhere inside, a voice is heard To remind me that I have lost control I have lost my will, to continue this way With every waking breath, I decide... How I live my life is far from normal days See my downward fall, and allow me to lie Somewhere inside, a voice is heard To remind me that I have lost control I give into my life, and color it with black I listen to my heart, and hear nothing If every day is cold, and the skies have turned to gray Only then will I be happy with this pain I have come to realize, my trials are before me These are the rules set forth, to be lost in a day I can't control when I was afraid So far away, from any choice I have Here in this day, I continue to fear Simple as I am, to be lost in a day |

My bride to comfort me
when all seems lost A kiss upon my brow to soften my suffering She means so well I haven't the heart To tell her my smile was forced. My mother cries for me when no one will Her words of compassion swell my eyes "It's not fair this has happened to you, And I'd do anything to take away your pain" My rage to help me through the day And visions of black to cure my loss I taunt the pain to prove it's real And greet my facade with a grin Look what your God has made me Placing spikes within my flesh A crown of nails for my sunken head To shy away from this freak |

On the days you long for me
And the cold nights of grey (Hear me) I ask you to forgive me And bow my head in shame (Feel me) I promise, I will never leave you I will not go on without you If the light calls upon me I will remain, waiting for you (Live for me) I've never felt so empty before I never cared more for us (Pray for me) I promise, I will never leave you I will not go on without you If the light calls upon me I will remain, waiting for you Somewhere along the days of my life I found my faith in you (Cry for me) |

In just one breath
Your dreams will fade A moment in time For fear to embrace The future... is my enemy Long days.... and endless nights Pain awakes my sleep And ends in a silent barrage of calm Look at me though jaded eyes Forever see the mask I wear Never feel pity for me It's the way my life lives Beaten by the only life I know Forced upon the spirit seed I only wish I had the strength To say goodbye At what time did you turn your back? I pay for this with every breath And all you do is preach through man Of how merciful you can be Then you shall not fail For every time you close your eyes I'll be there to greet you |

(life)
I long for days like this My heart pounds when you are near The gift of life Treasure it, for it is pure Embrace it with all your heart Not a thousand years of pain Would be worth the loss of this I hold for you a special gift And on this day, a new life begins (torn) Facade the day of forest green And calm my breath with words of plight A question I ponder this hour The light for me, or shadows engulf (death) I am the answers you seek You stand before me And I see your sorrow Even now, in your agony You can have your doubt For one last time (torn) Do I make make the sacrifice? To walk among the restless souls? How can I let this go on? Torn between love and life All is dead in my eyes (death) Close your eyes and welcome the truth Innocence is so sweet For only the aging of the flesh Shall rain upon the sorrows of life Admire this touch of heaven Before it fades. I remember days of old, And through your grief, one stands clear. I can see you forge a smile All these flowers are turning to snow For all is lost in your heart It's only her love that keeps you alive Now's the time for your pain to end (life) How can I ever live without you? This all seems so perfect So perfect, until I dream of you And your smile is my sunshine You deserve more then this Your saviour has come A strong soul to carry on To take you home I need you here with me Follow me now To pick me up when I fall Before the sunlight fades |

I just want to close my eyes
So I can forget about today Forget about what lies tomorrow And only take place in the realm of paradise To be beaten each day And lower my head As if its my own fault Forgotten about as night falls Restless nights that are filled with guilt And invite me into their empty embrace I never saw this coming And I now know that i'm not alone I can only wish that i'm the last And no one will suffer my fate It would take an eternity in hell For my heart to rest in peace. To strike down this hate filled soul And give back the pain you've caused Would only satisfy My craving for blood. I will see you in the end And I will laugh at your pain And I pray you suffer long And all the angels turn their backs From the site of your pitiful face No God will save your soul For there is no love for you You left that all behind The day you learned to fucking speak |

Solid shades of passions lie
With countless eyes to stare your sleep Wallow in terror of nights fetal embrace Cold tongues taste the fear A dark vision to scare my soul And shy away as the madness calls upon me To close my eyes at the end of day Welcome dark clad armies of fear More then novels have told my tale And campfire dreams that warm the soul With every moment of every night The shadows dance the walls And I know she looks upon me from afar To close my eyes at the end of day Evokes dark fields for brilliance Her cold smile haunts the after thought A fate for us all to be taken away From the empty days of hope, deny the darkness Follow my voice, we'll run far away from here If only to hide, to escape this life And live forever, forever in the sun For all the nights I lie awake And stare into the void Just once I wish to grasp Some glimmer of hope A cowards reign The last to know Forward, down And through my eyes |

Embrace the silence
And listen to me Our time is short And my words are pure For every song the angels sing And for every leaf that falls I will be thinking of you And I'll blow you a kiss I used to dream of the blue in your eyes Now my dreams are color blind Clenching my fist to crush this pain Its always the hate in my smile that devours me Transcending down far beneath my means A final breath of you to keep with me Infantile tears are melting the morning snow And shiver I will, for the heat in you is gone Never forget to smile As you look upon this world somewhere I'll remain alone thinking of the morning past |

And here we walk eluding the night Telling you tales of how I am lost You know things now that I can't explain And I must avoid your beg for words I can see by the look in your eyes The trust you once had is gone I can't hide from what I am Come with me and leave this behind Close your eyes and dream of me Waste not your time for now dawn breaks Shield myself from the tears on your cheek Open my arms to greet your embrace Hold me closely and absorb my warmth Let me go now and tremble alone And here we walk eluding the night Telling you tales of how I am lost You know things now that I can't explain And I must avoid your beg for words I can't hide from what I am Come with me and leave this behind Close your eyes and dream of me Waste not your time for now dawn breaks Together we can hear The screaming butterfly United as one Gods will fall to their knees |

Born upon angelic dirt
we crawl from filth to rise Speak my name for the sake of life For this creed will slowly turn Light escapes this shell of mine The pale haunt departure A dying wish to rise again And leave behind a scarecrows fate Only those who have suffered long Can find the light within the shadows A first hand trial of mislead hope For this is the day of our wake Light escapes this shell of mine The pale haunt departure A dying wish to rise again And leave behind a scarecrows fate So I rise above to look below and see the shedding coil The ascension process to reunite my passion for life through pain Your trust in faith Light escapes this shell of mine The pale haunt departure A dying wish to rise again And leave behind a scarecrows fate |

I'm sorry you will never know me,
But know I always loved you. Will you remember when I kept you safe? Will you remember when I made you smile? Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon Will tomorrow bring a new day of hope? Will this experience fill you with rage? The enemy time, knocks at my home I can no longer hide Please forgive me, I never meant to leave But know that I had you as my final thought Will you remember when I held you tight? Will you remember the sound of my voice? Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon Will this experience scar your fragile mind? Will you remember when we would both laugh? Memories is all that you have And I'm sorry I failed you in life I wanted more for you then I could provide Be strong and make your mother proud Don't cry... The tears in your eyes My time... To say my goodbyes Heaven waits... My soul to arise Torture, torture... My pain finally dies Will you remember that I tried my best? Will you remember the father I was? Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon Will you look back and smile for me? Will you remember me when I have gone? Memories is all that you have And I'm sorry I failed you in life I wanted more for you then I could provide Be strong and make your mother proud |

I remember yesterday
The rain fell to the earth For I dream of your arrival And color my dark world with faith Knowing you would be the strong one To keep my focus in close view I thank the heavens above For the angel beside me today The guardian of my sanity The one who will save my soul If I ever doubt the faith I hold I only need one smile from you And an autumn reflection will deliver me to your arms Someday you will understand How much you mean to me for every day that passes me by I long for the person you will become I thank the heavens above For the angel beside me today The guardian of my sanity The one who will save my soul If I ever doubt the faith I hold I only need one smile from you And an autumn reflection will deliver me to your arms I am stronger now Since you came into my life With a thought of your smile I remember yesterday |

It's all so clear to me now
A fraction of the man I used to be For every breath I take draws in the fear Only I know that the worst is yet to come I live in a dark world, where no light shines through I carry this burden with every step I take Thrust myself into a new days end And focus on the hour glass, to help pass the time Day to day I push myself on My facade can fool the strongest mind And my loved ones can only watch from afar A single mirror to view the void Tragic yesterdays, and unseen futures sleep Footprints in the blood from my wounded heart My dark world is where I call home Until the day comes, and the light calls my name My arcane cell is covered in resent I never asked for any of this I follow the path which leads me to nothing Searching for my smile I lost long ago I stand alone in the company of none Cheated by reality, philosopher of the gray A brave inner child stands strong in refuse A treasure of impurity will find a way to breed |

Heaven is so far away from this Hell, Carried by the wings of shadows pain
Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man Heaven is so far away from this Hell, Carried by the wings of shadows pain Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man I had trust in you, no more lies, I end this now, and walk away So pathetic it's come to this, If you only could see my side I live with this every day, and the struggle overwhelms me For the loveless, And for my wake Only when I close my eyes, And the day draws to an end Thoughts of you stronger then me, increase my faith in hate For the child, And for my heart Only when I close my eyes, And the day draws to an end Thoughts of you stronger then me, Increase my faith in hate Always dreaming of better days, Since cast out from your sight I'll live with the life I lead, And smile that you're no more Why did you turn your back, And leave me without your grace Fallen so far away from the light, Courage will no longer be by my side I stand here all alone, Waiting for you to see my need I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man I'll give my life for you, You'll see the fallen man |

Since the day I let you believe, that a grand life I would provide
I am haunted by the failure you see before you, consuming the echo To travel the road of our dreams, with my back against the wall All I can do, is look the other way, and pretend that your face held a smile. Not to see your sullen eyes, staring past my soul, into the darkness of night. I feel I've failed you, when we both know, I never had the chance, to say hello. Far away from your warmth I fade Silently, I bid you farewell, and wallow in the moment So very small, this distance between us, to travel so long, and gain no ground The very face I see in the mirror, knows the truth behind the lies For my trust, I hear the dead leaf echo, and the answer awaits us on the other side Far away from your warmth I fade Silently, I bid you farewell, and wallow in the moment Looking back to the days when we were poor, and all we had was each other You looked so sad, and almost ashamed to have me at your side In circles spins my mind, and the vertigo makes me sick All I can do, is look the other way, and pretend that your face held a smile. Not to see your sullen eyes, staring past my soul, into the darkness of night. I feel I've failed you, when we both know, I never had the chance, to say hello. |

the beauty of two graced the sky It left me with nothing but hurt For I knew this couldn't be true Looking back through a childs eyes I have been betrayed by time Now I dream with a sense of pride And I grieve the shame of mankind I once was left behind All the promises and empty words Forced me to walk upon the earth Alone in the shadow of man Looking back through a childs eyes I have been betrayed by time Now I dream with a sense of pride I grieve the shame of mankind I once had a vision The fall of man before its time Again I knew with innocent eyes You should have saved us all Looking back through a childs eyes I have been betrayed by time Now I dream with a sense of pride I grieve the shame of mankind |
