You used to spread your wings only when no one was looking, And when you finally trusted me enough to reveal them I slowly ripped them off. What have I done? Who now will carry me to heaven when this life is over?...

Follow me to solace and safety Over the tar-blackened river and past the gleaming yellow eyes I hope I'm right this time I can't lose any more of you tonight They're trusting me to lead them, but they don't know I'm...

To rid the earth of the filth To rid the earth of the lies To will the rise above Tearing my insides out I feel my soul go cold Only the dead are smiling To rid your heart of all lies Their poison tongues, poison...

Everyone sees through you How do you sleep at night? Translucent eyelids don't keep out the light Eyes that bulge apathetically From your engorged (yet empty) head Resting on a pillow bursting with dreams that will...

When you gaze into your polished metal plates You picture the face of a man who longs to see his soul But claws are claws, whether sharpened or painted or blunted From hours of bounding, one-track-minded, through the...

In the distance, they are circling I watch them go around and around, never tiring The one near death is hypnotized and closes it's eyes One last time Patiently they wait for that perfect moment to descend And pick to...

At times, when my mind wanders with my feet, My thoughts reach their destination before my body Like a recurring dream, I find myself traveling to lands I thought beyond my reach So new and different from my actual...

This frustration is mounting, And my greed is so overbearing. It seems as if I'm never satisfied With the precious things I possess. Could it be that this means nothing? Or am I worshipping false and empty idols? [X2]...

I use the rags of betrayal and the fuel of desperation to light a fire. This temper is lost upon me, though it is sure to find you momentarily. I cannot afford to spend emotions on you, for I owe you nothing. My fury is...

Time likes to flirt with me. He knows I'm watching as he passes. He is merciless with my lust. He won't give me the satisfaction of glancing back my way. I can't seem to get enough of the way he tastes. It's like I'm...

In a world of such complex pathways we all feel lost. No one could ever understand your directions They used to be crystal clear But they've been smeared by all the fingerprints Of wanderers along your obscured path Our...

A transparent heart can't hide it's blackest wish. Even blood, pounding deceit, only makes your motives clearer. Your scheme to conceal the desire may be wise, But I can still see lust hidden in your famished eyes. Now...

You attempt to find what you're looking for in vacant corpses Never understanding that you have to bury the things you love when they are dead You've cut too deep Let the dead lie asleep Refuse to grasp the hand that...

To my nemesis, my confidant: Do not expect me to make more requests. I have done penance for my sins. You're in debt to me one thousand promises. Just yesterday, I went again to collect what I'm owed. I found my dreams...

It may feel like it's too much to handle, But it's not time yet. Your body operates, automatic, Like a breathless engine, It shines in the swimming haze and heat. While your mind, Like a swarm of insects in a gust of...

You've wasted me Nothing loves, nothing dreams. Nothing bleeds inside of you You've washed me away Isn't it nice how it's all so clean when it was once so dirty? I know the stains are still there, just hidden, and made...
