What Has Become

I have been wondering for a while
Am I a cog in the wheel
Afraid to step out of line
I know all I do, Is always seen
But Living in blandness
It picks slowly at your brain
figuring out new ways
not to go insane
How long will I still be myself
Before pressured to comply
On the path of least resistance
Untill Im consumed and left to die
Tasting the ego boost
Being pat for playing my part
All which they offer
It will not last
Engulfed in the ugliness
That slowly poisons your soul
Crushed by attrition without war
_____________
How long will you be left wondering
Of what could have been
Shake off the nightmare
Face reality
I Thought myself as the writer
But I was barely the ink
Humble yourself
To not go insane
Yet Im still horrified
of what has become
Can I still be guided?
Answer me.

Memento Mori

Cannot forgive myself
Help me oh God
Pierced my soul with sin
Of freedom slave
I will surely fall
If I keep this way
flesh will fade away
Show me meaning
Im breaking away
As I though I was lost
I gaze a sight of Faith
A mourning Friday march
Past Priest's skull on silk
Awakens me to our fate
Words written on with ink
"What I Am You Will Be"

Rainbow Sunset

Night and day
Life and death
Remains the same
Under the rainbow sunset
The more you crawl
The more you fall
You can't let go
Under the rainbow sunset
And if you were the way for someone
Would you believe the world they sought
Could you ever find that understanding
That little thing you called love
Could you even open up your heart once
Or would you think it is too late
It wasnt long till you were tortured
By yesterday
Its no surprise
to realize
these games I try
are just a way around me
It won't be long
Untill Im lost
I don't belong
Within the walls i once dreamed
I fear Im headed down the same path
I found myself those years ago
Im terrified that nothing changes
An endless cycle all to know
How many faces I have known now
Without not being known by one
Am I again to be left wondering
Where I belong
Why do I keep getting myself drawn
To empty things that twist my path
If to heal only need to
To let my soul alone at last
Night and day
Life and death
Remains the same
Under the rainbow sunset
Where nothing goes
Where nothing comes
The dusk is dawn
To live the same day again
Will I again be mourning your loss
Before Im even left alone
No point to live afraid of changes
No path is set before you go
And now when's time to forge a new path
May nothing stir me away of Truth
But I do wish that I could still leave
Away with you

Summers Of Yesterday

I feel the weight above me
As I live day by day
And they chase me they wont let go
The summers of yesterday
I reek of all the ashes
I laid myself upon
I see the eyes of who I was
Fade before my own
I gaze behind me, weightless
Crushed into the ground
All Hopes I dreams I once had
I've ripped them from me now
I know I am the only
Who may resolve my fate
But I can't untill I have faced them
The summers of yesterday

Designer Prison

Preassigned dream
Adjustment of fate
Teach you what to think
And you paid for it
Before you seek
It's already there
Staring back
Oh, It's obscene
How much it will take
Your whole youth, Faith and dreams
It's a designer cell
Before you seek
It's already there
Staring back
And you are just a prey
Do not slip away.
Oh, do not scream
It's you who chose to be here
Taken slowly their poison heals
Illness you didn't have
How long will it take?
Untill you act like they do?
Untill you think and speak the same?
Untill you are a cellkeeper too?
Doesn't feel like truth
How deep in you are
How you lost control of yourself
You better think of a plan
Before you dream
Or think it's too late
Before your eyes
You found Yourself somewhere else

Thorned Heart

Facing Time that slips away
Where is the future?
There is no stop in sight
Chasing dreams that pierce the skies
Will ambition drive me into the night?
Will I fall in the night?
Why is it that I seek
The comforts of this world?
As I'm digging my own grave
I will surely lose it all
Gazing in your crying Eyes I feel
The soothing of my soul
How could you care for me
I don't deserve your Love
__________________
All I was slowly fades
As my time slips away
misplaced dreams built of stone
Will see my bones turn to dust
I recall those crying eyes
Heart pierced by thorns
Still cries out to heal
This lost angry soul
Rose tinted winds perfume the air
What lies beyond flesh and blood
Where am I to search
And I see your wounded Heart
To realize I was the thorn
All along all along
Give me the strengh I need
Before I bring my fall
To never wound your heart again
I only need your love
