- ...But Home Is Nowhere
Twenty-six years and seems like I've just begun
To understand my, my intimate is no one
When the director sold the show, who bought its last rites?
They cut the cast, the music, and the lights
This is my line, this is eternal
How did I ever end up here?
Discarnate, preternatural
- 100 Words
This is the final night, boys.
We are the cracks in diamond walls.
I tried to illuminate but the shadows kill.
I'm overshadowed. See how I blend in with nothing?
Now beautiful boys, let's destroy.
We'll shine as the lucite breaks and falls.
Raise the new glitter god with the golden tears - the tears that swallow.
A smile that's touched so warms nothing.
- 17 Crimes
If you had a day,
Would you give me a moment?
Would you allow our play
to leave no bone unbroken?
Let's love, like 17
I'm in love with poisoning.
Only bring your pretty, frightful gifts to me.
- 37 mm
Bring your secrets to me.
Just give me your hands
and I’ll let you feel the wounds
they put in me.
If you believe in me,
How can I be dissolving?
If you'd believe me, I’d tell you everything.
- 6 to 8
Six figures enter they've come to destroy the world.
They've called together this storm almost every night.
I awake in another place.
A familiar voice with a stranger's face speaks more unheard words.
What new friends will the day bring?
One for one thousand acquainted.
What new home will the night bring?
When it all comes down you just throw the bones.
- A Winter's Tale
A chilling silence.
A world of violets.
My breath materialized again.
Immaculate.
Inanimate.
A comfort cutting time I see...
a string of white lights.
- Advances in Modern Technology
Каждую ночь я гуляю по улицам
Без сна, пока все спят.
Я вызываю тревогу у всех, кого встречаю на пути.
Моя щедрость никогда не иссякнет,
Потому что дар, который я преподношу, - из глубины души.
[Припев:]
Совсем нет надежды.
- Affliction
Every night devise
New heights in genocide (Lover, I am loveless)
All my friends and I,
Toast health and suicide (Lover, I am lonely)
Were you holding hands when
My palms bled?
- At A Glance
No haven now as I watch it pour from everywhere.
Just like the storm that has come out of thin air.
Gentle caresses, just as paper thin -frail
and only- lack the strength to hold.
What if I could go to sleep for days,
would you count the hours,
or would your restlessness consume fading memories of me?
- Aurelia
Aurelia, the new wolves await
Aurelia, they brought you new change
They’re barking in the wrong key
They’re barking in the wrong key
They’re barking in the wrong key
And you sing along
Aurelia, dream animals’ wills
- Battled
I can't think and i can't speak!
My mind is not my own!
Feeling like my will is weak!
Cannot find the strength to go on!
I've battled! i'm ****ing battled man!
I've battled! i've battled yeah!
I've battled! i'm ****ing battled man!
I've battled! i can't think and i can't speak!
- Beautiful Thieves
AFI - Beautiful Thieves
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spot lit strangers?
Oh, before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
- Beautiful Thieves. Я люблю эту
My dear there is no danger
Can't you see they turn blind eyes
To we swift and spot lit strangers?
Oh, before the rush is over
We will be revered again
While the victims still recover
Oh!
- Breathing Towers to Heaven
I saw this alone.
The city was aflame.
Did I turn right in or turn away?
Seems I went back home, holed up for a day.
Some say a year passed but that's okay, I'll stay.
Disappear, with me here, where the sun shows no fear,
as it burns my resolution to remain,
- Brownie Bottom Sundae
Into the dark is where you're draggin me
and into your dark is where I never want to be.
I know I'm not alone and I really want to leave.
Into the dark is where you want to watch me bleed.
I'm feelin’ kinda trapped, I gotta go.
I'm feelin’ kinda trapped don't you know.
I'm feelin’ kinda trapped, I gotta go.
- Coin Return
Я соскользнул
И упал
Так глубоко, что я не могу выбраться.
Я разрушен своими сомнениями.
Я сделал то, что обещал не делать никогда.
Я стал тем, кем говорил, не стану никогда.
- Cold Hands
How I regret what I must do but
You've left me no choice.
Though I still strain I can't recall
The beauty of your fey voice.
Now that I've heard come through the
Walls, a song I've heard many times
I must return all you gave me in the
Company of swine.
- Crop Tub
You say you want to be friends,
start over, try again?
Well, things will never be the way they were back then.
Things were never how you wanted,
I couldn't think of you that way.
Now, if you take one step closer I will take two steps away.
Maybe you need affection,
I'd like to help you but I can't stand when you're around:
- Cult Status
I'll turn you on and switch you right off.
I'll make sure you like what you see.
Forget all that you once believed.
Now you will believe in me.
Do you believe you make the choice, decide what you hold most dear?
In all opinions that you voice, it's my voice that they all hear.
I'll take your ideas and your values, I'll make you turn them all around.
I'll break you individuality, I'll take you down.
- Dancing Through Sunday
Will you join me in this dance
This dance with misery?
Cradled in imposs-, impossibility
Swooning, I am swept away
Swept off my feet and
With step-by-step
We take the lead
As drop-by-drop we start to bleed.
- Dark Snow
I wanted to take you
From those robes to feel the cold
Undressing the blessings
Feels like my afterlife, my afterlife
I go on
Yet on that night I went down with the lights
Somehow, over and over
I go on
- Darling, I Want To Destroy You
A.f.i. Darling, I Want To Destroy You lyrics
Were you dying to go? You just looked so exposed,
Demure through the dark dancing lights.
I glided by.
I can't deny that the shadows betrayed you and I on that night.
Oh, I must confess I am overdressed.
- Days Of The Phoenix
I remember when
I was told the story of crushed velvet,
Candle wax, and dried up flowers.
The figure on the bed,
All dressed up in roses, calling...
Beckoning to sleep... offering a dream.
- Dream Of Waking
I feel it washing over me,
The slow poisonous tide.
Pins and needles dance on me.
Sickness undefined.
Now I'm afraid to face the sky.
Please someone hear my haunted cries.
Please let them waken me.
- End Transmission
Pull the top down use your knees to drive
I'll make it worth your while just let me taste the sky
You pressed your mouth on mine and fed me a star
Then said "we never can truly know who we are"
Know who we are
With the lights out and the night inside
The broken radio was playing suicide
- Endlessly She Said
Walked into our world and made
Horrible sounds.
I can still hear them today
(strangely they seem)
Beautiful now,
though they outlast my love.
Still each time I always meant,
- Ether
Wear your tears tonight my dear.
I'd say they truly suit you,
unimpressed and moistly dressed.
I may decide to keep you.
I open my mouth
and drink down the sea.
You'd drown in me.
- Ever And A Day
Lie in comfort of sweet calamity with nothing left to lose.
Lie in the darkness, I'm slowly drowned to sleep
nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
I'd retrace the steps that lead me here but nothing lives behind me.
So I lie in this field bathed in the light that loves me,
with nothing left to lose.
Three tears I've saved for you.
- Fainting Spells
Give me this before I slip,
before I sink, because I think,
I think I may have found the short way down.
Just give me something.
Something's cold and clear -
The love spent here,
As I had feared means nothing dear.
- Fall Children
As the cries start to penetrate still air.
This day we celebrate.
The wait now ends.
From four corners smoke plumes into a reddened sky.
[Woah, oh. Woah, oh]
In the face of lantern light, tonight my destiny lies.
[Woah, oh. Woah, oh oh oh!]
- File 13
Я просыпаюсь с первыми лучами солнца.
Я ворочаюсь всю ночь, просыпаясь от каждого шороха.
Меня, видимо, будет воротить от обеда, но я все равно что-нибудь съем.
Я делаю, что могу.
Каждый мой мускул напряжен в течение дня.
Дискомфорт никогда не уйдет.
Кто-то уже должен сдать меня в утиль,
Потому что я чувствую себя как консервная банка.
- Girl's Not Grey
I'll lay me down tonight
much further down
swim in the calm tonight
This art does drown
(What follows) Me as the whitest lace of light
(will swallow whole) just begs to be imbrued?
(What follows) has lead me to this place where I belong
- God Called In Sick Today
Let's admire the pattern forming
Murderous filigree
I'm caught in the twisting of the vine
Go ascend with ivy, climbing
Ignore and leave for me
The headstone crumbling behind
I can't help my laughter as she cries
- Greater Than 84
There's an open sky and an empty city
Where the rain falls every night
Upon precious flames we once found so pretty
Our frail and only light
Love is all that's left and I'm emotionless
You won't read it in the papers
In this time, keep your hands clean, just read my mind
- Halloween
[The Misfits Cover Song]
Bonfires burning bright
Pumpkin faces in the night
I remember halloween
Dead Cats hanging from poles
Little Dead are out in droves
I remember Halloween
- He Who Laughs Last
"He Who Laughs Last..."
No trust can be given freely, it's a valuable commodity,
but obviously this is something you've never learned.
Faith is something that you put in friends, and had I excess morals to lend,
I'd let you borrow them, but my trust you haven't earned.
We've got a problem? First of all there is no "we", I'm detached from you completely.
I've got a problem. You tell lies to my friends and think it won't get back to me.
- he who laughs last...
No trust can be given freely,

Faith is something that you put in friends,

We've got a problem?
- I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here
Before you came what was your name? Did you look like me?
No one's from here, no one my dear, not even the trees.
So change your name, just keep your face. We're temporary anyway.
Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash
We're no fixtures.
Quick, now, Quick take our picture!
- I Hope You Suffer
I got two letters from you
Last words of the runaway
Your love was written so true
And now I can’t speak your name
I faced destruction and you
Just killed me and walked away
I gave my heart to the cruel
- It Was Mine
Don't move
Don't do anything
What we captured got away,
Slipped from us
Don't speak, don't
Don't say anything,
They've been recording all we say
For years now.
- Jack The Ripper
Oh, you look so tired
Mouth slack and wide
Ill-housed and ill-advised
Your face is as mean
As your life has been
Crash into my arms
I WANT YOU
- Kill Caustic
So, I'm feeling much worse now.
You're better, you're better.
Your designer drug
won't work, won't work for me.
Connect to a three volt.
I hope your battery dies.
How could you run
- Kiss and control
Watch the stars,
Turn you to nothing.
Now blush and smile
As they whisk you away.
Part your lips a bit more,
I'll swallow your fear.
I will show you how
- Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise to depart just promise one thing,
Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
This is what I brought you this you can keep,
This is what I brought you may forget me.
I promise you my heart just promise to sing,
- Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep.
AFI - Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep

This is what I brought, you may forget me.
- Kung-Fu Devil
It's said and done, there is no turning back
I've made my choice now I've gotta face the facts
Within myself, the hunger won't be subdued
Because I can't have my cake and eat it too
I'm worn down from fighting with myself
I'll save my life and lose my mental health, yeah
- Last Caress
I got something to say
I killed your baby today
And it doesn't matter much to me
As long as it's dead
Well I got something to say
I raped your mother today
And it doesn't matter much to me
- Love Like Winter
Love Like Winter
Warn your warmth to turn away,
Here it's december,
Everyday.
Press your lips to the sculptures,
And surely you'll stay.
- Malleus Maleficarum
Открываю свои глаза, когда погружаюсь в воду.
Я не буду отрицать то, кем я был с рождения.
Я умру под натиском навязанных тобою стандартов.
Дышу в жизнь летней смерти так, как будто
Оранжевые и красные краски делают первый свой вдох.
Добро пожаловать, так как они горят без остатка.
Мы все начинаем гореть.
- Medicate
OH
Could I,Could I just find the way
Id find you everyday and we could all just hide(BUT)
Ive come to find, everyones gone away
So this maybe the time for the perfect crime,
yes this is perfect
(THIS IS)Our medicine,(THIS IS)
- Miseria Cantare - The Beginning
Love your hate, your faith lost.
You are now one of us.
Love your hate, your faith lost.
You are now one of us.
Nothing, from nowhere, I'm no one at all.
Radiate. Recognize one silent call as we all form one dark flame.
- Miss Murder
Hey, Miss Murder can I
Hey, Miss Murder can i
Make beauty stay if I
Take my life?
With just a look they shook,
And heavens bowed before him.
Simply a look can break your heart.
- Modern Epic
Yeah, I can see it coming
I've seen it all before
I've seen it once or twice
And now I hear it call to board
This train is moving fast
But how long is it gonna last?
I guess that we'll find out
- Morning Star
I saw a star beneath the stairs
Glowing through the melting walls
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I the ghost upon the stage, am I your anything?
- Morningstar
I saw a star beneath the stairs
glowing through the melting walls.
Who will be the first to begin their fall?
Or will we become one?
Am I the star beneath the stairs?
Am I a ghost upon the stage?
Am I your anything?
- Narrative Of Soul Against Soul
Обращение к раненым:
Я видел свое отражение.
Ты брошен в осколки разбитого стекла
И брошен, лежа на острых краях осколков.
Но те, кому дозволено, просыпаются в ожидании своего признания.
Без страха смерти, под страхом жизни.
Твоя слабость убивает каждого.
Так что, живи.
- No Poetic Device
I've been dreaming, I've been dreaming I was lucid.
blood was seeping, it was seeping from my pores.
Who'd believe that it was all my own decision?
Cracked faces and medicated smiles.
Set fire to my home before I turned and walked back in.
For every needle open my chest and insert ten pins.
I just anticipate what awaits when I awake... break!
- Not That Beautiful
You’re not that, you’re not that
You’re not that beautiful
You took the best of me, don’t seem to need the rest of me
When will you realize that I’m still around?
You been ignoring me, poor quiet little boring me
While you’ve been compromising all over town
- Now The World
Summer, I painted a scene that lit the stars for me.
Said, "I can erase it for you dear."
That summer created those words that came to life in three.
They were denied by you.
Summer I laid down below a glitter-adorned night
And silently sparkled my own way.
Summer I laid down by you and shared my frail light.
- Of Greetings And Goodbyes
Now ending discreetly
Just like a hidden sin
As I go under please tuck me in
Make me invisible
This hidden explosion calls for a wandering cast with no direction
Enter all monsters let us twist another fairy tale
Go kill the lights, we'll glow 'til morning comes
- OK, I Feel Better Now
There is nothing to me.
There is nothing though
There was a time I had felt elation
Before all sensation died.
I cannot breathe.
I can't deny that I've been feigning,
For you, every vital sign defied.
- Okay, I Feel Better Now

- On the Arrow
He said, “Who truly belongs here?”
“Not I...” — she said, — “I’ll lie here with you!”
He knows: no one shines forever,
They change with the weather...
He said, “I’ve now stayed too long here!”
“Goodbye!” — she said, “I’ll wait here for you!”
He knows, the winds carry sorrow,
- Paper Airplanes
Raise high monolithic statues so fragile as they fall
I am ever enthralled
Gaze lie and smirk time
Your arrogance will suit you well
'Til fashion is dispelled
As waves of plactic fame go out of fashion
Your going out, going out forever unknown
- Perfect Fit
What was it I was thinking,
or was I even thinking at all?
When I think of what I thought back then,
then I'm ashamed;
and I'm appalled
that I gave up all I was so easily.
Living your life is not for me.
- Rabbits Are Roadkill On Route 37
What once did exist
Now is meaningless
And doesn`t it seem funny
How soon you did forget
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember
Desperation
- Rabbits are roadkill on Rt. 37
What once did exist, now is meaningless
And doesn't it seem funny, how soon you did forget
(ECHO: how soon you did forget)
All the words have now lost their weight
But I remember, I remember
Desperation, devastation
All I truly know (ECHO: all that I know...)
- Sacrifice Theory
Hear one thousand screams.
Hear one thousand voices.
A solitary echo.
Feel one thousand pains,
But one is receiving a bloody invitation.
Do you want to feel the warmth?
To taste the life, to taste the life
- Sacrilege
Я никогда не хочу понять это.
Я никогда не хочу пусть будет так.
Я просто не могу понять в возрасте плана.
Это устаревшие.
Как можно признать,

- Salt For Your Wounds
There's a tear in my heart where the blood ran out.
There's a tear in my heart where the love ran out. I thought
we worked, pushed toward the same ends,
I'll never be so quick to trust again.
Disenchanted, disgusted, I regret that I trusted.
I put my faith.
My faith in you, you poisoned me through and through.
I though we both shared the same injuries.
- Silver And Cold
I... I came here by day, but I left here in darkness
And found you, found you on the way
And now, it is silver and silent, it is silver and cold
You, in somber resplendence, I hold
Your sins into me
Oh, my beautiful one
Your sins into me
- Summer Shudder
Listen when I say, when I say it’s real
Real life goes undefined
Why must you be so missable?
Everything you take, makes it more unreal
Real lies are undefined, how can this be so miserable?
Under the summer rain, I burnt away,
Under the summer rain, (Burn!) You turned away.
- Synesthesia
Heartbreak incarnate.
I'm nothing if not your memories.
Your beartbreak, please let me be your joy and your pain.
Someday I will be, I'll be those common words spoken uniquely.
Because I may, will forever be, floating as you feel.
Please let me haunt as scent on your pillow,
- The Boy Who Destroyed the World
Once there was boy who had vibrant glow
(Whoaaaoooaaooaa)
but as it goes, someone took it from him.
One day through the rain I heard him meekly moan
(Whoaaaoooaaooaa)
he said
"Will you wrap your arms around me,
- The Despair Factor
Along the pathwhere the stream is talking,
I breathe the mist and continue walking.
The wood it whispers in a language of it's own.
As a sigh escaped my lips,
I feel the light caress of fingertips that,
steal away the breath and leave me on my own.
Waiting by the stairs. (Waiting, I despair)
- The devil loves you
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? Have you ever felt?
Ever felt this way? Tainted with rage you can't
drain away or it will cost you your life. I couldn't care more.
Do you ever absorb what shouldn't be touched? Have you ever
cared? Ever cared this much?
Do you think it is I who is out of touch, or are you too scared to think at all?
I couldn't care more.
As your friends fall does it tear your heart?
- The Embrace
Watching it crumble
Might have eased the hurt
Feeling it disappear
Only made worse
Pulling it piece by piece
Slicing up ribbons could dismiss
To slowly disintegrate
- The Great Disappointment
I can remember, a place I used to go.
Chrysanthemums of white
They seemed so beautiful.
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes, to see.
Oh how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one.
- The Killing Lights
Oh
Five A.M. on the bathroom floor from the night before.
Do you find me dreadful?
What a shame such a sad disgrace,
Such a pretty face.
But she's not regretful.
Am I beautiful?
- The Last Kiss
Hung in your room, swaying, hoping only that you'll see
All by myself, I'm alone in such poor company
The deeper I think, the deeper I seem to sink
I can't stop the insects that are feeding
Pull the needles from beneath my skin
I broke myself, shattered, tied a bow around every piece
- The Leaving Song
Walked away, heard them say
"Poison hearts will never change,"
walk away again.
Turned away in disgrace,
felt the chill upon my face cooling from within.
Hard to notice gleaming from the sky,
when you're staring at the cracks.
- The Leaving Song Pt. 2
Don't waste your touch
You won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought to much
You won't find anything
Worthy of redeeming.
Yo he estado aquГ muchas veces antes y regreso
- The Leaving Song Pt. II
Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming
Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso
To... break down, and cease all feeling
- The Leaving Song Pt.1
The Leaving Song Pt. I
Ушёл, услышав, что они сказали:
“Отравленные сердца никогда не изменятся, если снова уйти”
Отвернувшись в позоре, почувствовал холод на своём лице,
Остывающем изнутри
Это трудно - заметить блеск от небес
- The Lost Souls
Если ты не сможешь удержаться на воде,
Я увижу тебя на дне океана.
Когда ты закрываешь глаза,
Читаешь ли ты только грусть между строк?
Давай же возьми меня за руку и прогуляйся со мной.
Приди ко мне - в твое убежище.
Я с радостью приму подарок, который мне дарован.
Если ты будешь чувствовать себя прекрасно, дай этому чувству передышку.
- The Missing Frame
One at a time, consious becomes surreal
One at a time, heart attacks are consealed
I can see that I lose the choice of life,
One at a time.
Suicides are revealed
You will see that I lost another life
But tonight
I'll let you tear it up,
- The Nephilim
Swing through sadness
Tears of joy
Curse the sunlight
Arsenic for the girls and boys.
Drink the madness
Smoke so coy
Smile injection
Serum of a will destroyed
- The New Patron Saints And Ange
I've seen the light that emanates from you,
and it makes me feel proud, a voice of reason above the muffling crowds.
Such will to live and you've got so much to give, long lost sincerity.
Lost in a world that's been scorched to black.
Lost in myself until I finally find.
A guide in you, and gratitude is mine, I admire the way you shine.
Stare down the day from which others shield their eyes,
with complete clarity, and no trace of apathy.
- The New Patron Saints and Angels
I've seen the light that emanates from you and it makes me proud.
A voice of reason above the muffling crowds.
Such will to live and you've got so much to give.
Long lost sincerity.
Stare down the day, from which others shield thier eyes,
with compleate clairity.
And no trace of apathy.
So positive and your heart you freely give.
- The Prayer Position
Now! Peel the skin back from the flesh.
Steal the flesh back from the starving static minds.
From nature we must stray, to clarity we'll climb.
Deadly impulse seems so natural,
just look beyond it and we'll find (we will find)
a brand new evolution, here begins a brand new line.
And in the distance there's a gathering,
that no longer seems so far away.
- The Spoken Word
(Gibson Casian)-- We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust, we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of town but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion you said, "Death is a midnight runner."
(Davey Havok)-- The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn as the ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. The few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall, but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. I rode alone.
(Hans Wold)-- You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence. Of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon and the darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward, and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.
- Third Season
Can you feel the pulse?
Can you feel the heat rising from below?
Can you feel the energy?
It's gaining strength, oh so slowly
But I'll wait.... I'll wait.... till the seasons change
I'll wait.... I'll wait.... till the fall comes
(hey hey hey hey whoa) Oh and I say, I'll give you nothing but a mirthless laugh (whoa)
- This Celluloid Dream
Calling tears from deep inside, oh, you're so exquisite
And in the mirror, all midnight eyes
Oh, if I could remain, but it's just a visit
All midnight eyes read "vacancy"
Twisted, twisting
To the lovely dancing lights, I begged, "May I cut in?"
But they never stopped playing "their song"
- This Secret Ninja
Just like cellophane
You try to cling so tight to me
Your attempts in vain
You've less sincerity than the plastic
Paper in the rain
The print appears so bright to me
The words remain
- This Time Imperfect
I cannot leave here, I cannot stay,
Forever haunted, more than afraid.
Asphyxiate on words I would say,
I'm drawn to a blackened sky as I turn blue.
There are no flowers, no not this time,
There'll be no angels gracing the lines,
Just these stark words, I find.
- Too Late for Gods
Come with us
To the water as we celebrate poolside
Silver lined sons and daughters
Take the big dive
Celebrate before rejection
Before this pool shows our reflection
Too well
Diamond impressions
- Too Shy To Scream
I come quietly
Silent entities
Can lack a certain weight
When unseen
Do they speak of me?
My voice left with the breeze
That whispered "you should flee
- Torch Song
I saw you.
Angels came to light your path.
I heard you keep their wings
pressed under glass.
Now I am so enthralled
that I might die?
I saw you, sweetly smile,
and say "do try."
- Total Immortal
Hope unknown
Sometimes just waking is surreal
I pass right through the nameless ones
I know that hope's unknown
Sometimes the water feels so real
As I walk through it fills my lungs
My god I'm drowning
- Two Of A Kind
Hangin' out and lingerin' around,
cause you know where I'll be found
and I don't know how you do it.
This obsession I must admit
has shaken me up a bit.
My solidarity now only comes in pairs.
I'd like to see you before you see me.
I'd like to see you.
- Under the summer rain
Listen when I say, when I say it’s real
Real life goes undefined
Why must you be so miserable?
Everything you take, makes it more unreal
Real lies are undefined, how can this be so miserable?
Under the summer rain… I burned away…
Under the summer rain, Oh… You turned away…
- Values Here
What'd you say
When I said we'll be here through tomorrow
In my heart and in my head
Fear of failure
Fear of reprimand
Two big problems
I've never had
I never doubted what I had inside...what I have inside
- Veronica Sawyer Smokes
Oh my story is not the oldest of it's kind.
I was too touched to see you clearly,
Far too young to realize I had loved so dearly you,
Who's world I had designed,
But the sweet smoke came with mirrors
And it brought tears to my wide eyes.
Dying just to see you...
Dying since I misconstrued your blue heart,
- Wake Up Call
If I had my way I'd wish them away,
but I can't find the magic inside of me.
I'll give my best, cause I can give no more,
but your problems aren't solved so easily.
I'm not someone that you should run to.
I've been, often, as broken as you,
more often than you'd like me to.
- Weathered Tome
They're coming 'round again
I've returned and they've been waiting
Their aged offererings received and returned
Passed through wet eyes
I tremble as I feel them rolling in for my sins
The old ghosts know
- Wester
I can feel you waiting for me
When the sun retreats to the hills
Аnd I beneath the blanket of a burning sky
Wrap myself within
Embraced by dead leaves
As the rain leaves trails of black down my face
And I creep through the twilight to that hidden place
- Where We Used to Play
I might seem a bit peculiar, a bit not right for though I try, I remain a stranger – not of this time. I swear I’m almost there though I’ve been wandering for days. I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they’ll arrive where we used to play. I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate where we used to play in those days. I know I’m with strangers I recognize and realize my own disowned me. They were never mind.
I swear I’m almost there. This is right where we used to play. I may be chasing ghost trains hoping they’ll arrive where we used to play. I may be hopping ghost trains for they terminate where we used to play in those days. I never will let it go until I find the place I called mine. I never was truly meant for this time.
- Who Knew
Every single notion burned indelibly.
Every motion leaving scars behind.
All sincere emotion received skeptically.
with no preparation for life eternal.
Every tear that's fallen brings one thousand floods.
Paper cuts are leaving blood behind.
All the silent laughter ringing piercingly.
