Riddles, Questions, Poetry & Outrage
I'm a dream away and a sleep behind waking up safely blind Resurrected, dumb yet protected Confessing sins to unkind witness Whose holdilg charm an arms leght distance, away While assisting mistakes to sneak up behind me, Finding me, unclaimed and blamed for shames sake For every shining star there are three that have fallen Two misjudged by hands having stolen For every shining star there are three that have fallen Two over looked by eyes that are swollen with lies and a fools golden splendor True targets of admiration stands in the shadows Eclipsed by the undeserving, Claiming the spotlight as their own Enacting failures to a mass audience Giving stage fright to greatness Performing miracles and walking on water When boastfully alone, Hidden abilities un-shown, un-wept, un-dreamt Sneak away to play without permission to say Do you care enough to look beneath? ...or care less For every shining star there are three that have fallen Two misjudged by hands having stolen For every shining star there are three that have fallen Two over looked by eyes that are swollen with lies and a fools golden splendor

It has begun, the breaking down of wills The struggle to submit The conflict between compromise and manipulation You can't resist, you can't resist With independence consumed, we walk the thin line That's timely tested and detested By those falling short to subservience, Being subdued by the line One needs to fall down, To another's opression gaining ground One must give in to the mindless game control One needs to fall down, To another's opression gaining ground One must give in to the mindless game control Held by your embodying beliefs And conclusions undecided Freedom contravies to overlock Designated points where your heart once recided Don't fall to the mindless game control One needs to fall down, To another's opression gaining ground One must give in to the mindless game control One needs to fall down, To another's opression gaining ground One must give in to the mindless game control

I scream to notice my fingers numbing more and more Losing my pulse, holding my breath Saving its allowance to purchase one last hope It's funny how fragile life gets, contained in glass Waiting for salvation to come, one letter at a time Forming redemption with ink and a feather How many times must these wrists be severed To bleed out all the tired blood Hold my words, dust my page Trace the ink strokes enraged Carving out liberation, with pencil lead Tones in flesh fed, lips to savor all truth, all pain The madness endeavor Not wanting to mix words I separate my intentions by etching syllables in wood Breaking down motives keeping store, what for? Writing verse in rhythm, meter with premise Currents forging cracks in smiles Too precise to recognize Knowing it's too late to reconsider my failing position I succumb, unthreading the tide to be overcome By this oncoming, unstopping mass Hold my words, dust my page Trace the ink strokes enraged Carving out liberation, with pencil lead Tones in flesh fed, lips to savor all truth, all pain The madness endeavor

'm sitting here reflecting on a world that's passed me by My time is spent, where has it went If I only had just one more try But there is no turning back now, We must move on my friend Not so long ago it seems when I was young My adolescent dreams of great things to be done I took for granted pleasures that children only know Memories like treasures, I lived and let them go The years have gone to fast, and I can't change the past Turn back the pages of time I cherished not a moment, saw chances pass me by Regret will be my eulogy, of things I didn't try I lost my life to triefles and found no meaning there A hedonist disciple afraid to even care These years have gone to fast, and I can't change the past, will this day be my last? Turn back the pages of time I locked away my secrets, no relationships begun The fears I learned in youth, never trusting anyone Self doubt prayed upon me, forever the willing host I left no mark behind me as if I were a ghost These years have gone to fast, and I can't change the past, will this day be my last? Turn back the pages of time

I was always so good at selecting words To hurt rather than heal Busy premeditating verbal murder We should have instated a code of silence between us Instead of choosing to speak, every something was wrong forcing feelings, tiring ourselves out Many times without a doubt, Shutting up might have saved us My fingerprints washed off your body Kisses wiped from your lips Inspection couldn't find a mark left behind Or proof of the time I spent inside you, beside you With all the skin we shared, I'm scared You've taken back what I mistook as my own casualities spared, judgement impaired For what cause was I disowned? Are first loves forgotten? Open words with a closing, to insight a battle Overhead glances invite free interpretations Jealously vows a way to get back at me suddenly It's over with no time to explain I was honest with someone, when honesty wouldn't work Again paths crossing, feeling secure Long enought to catch my reflection, rejection In a way you can say that everything in life Has an expiration date Running out of breath Running to your rescue Signing to donate my heart Finding it's been rejected by imcompatible blood types, Complications and misunderstandings Close your eyes when your lips are covering my mouth Or you don't mean it. I wish some insight would have come to me Before self surgery You see, I wasn't the first to have torn into my chest To win you over But for me it is over and that is to say You won't be missed Wait, before you say good-bye, Let me take a picture to remember Not to meet you again in another life, or in anothers body We have to stop meeting like this

I have stolen heaven and earth Gone unaccused of any crime Been framed in an ice sculpture of jesus Begging to be absolved Thorns bleeding, causing my saviour to melt Every time blasphemous words Have split from my lips Ending my sentence with a sentence And a exclamation Prayers cannot save me, God has damned us all Slap my face for taking his name in vain Receiving him is so far gone Kneeling now so where is god? Hads exalted, holding cross Praying now so where is god Wash my out mouth With holy water and soup Trying to cleanse the thoughts Impure on the inside Torment rape the Virgin Mother Burn from me this guilt enough To fill the cup of christ Strap my confessions to the fence For all to ridicule weakness Make an example out of me Receiving him is so far gone Kneeling now so where is god? Hads exalted, holding cross Praying now so where is god Wash my out mouth With holy water and soup Trying to cleanse the thoughts Impure on the inside

Where are the answers we're looking for And what are the questions we ask Hstory may hold these answers and more But I never lived in the past Seeking in vain for the keys To knowledge that I think I need My days are a turning of pages searching For what cannot be The anger intense behind my eyes In my fruitless search for the thruth frustration teaches me to despise The ignorance born of my youth Within my heart there rages and prowls A wolf of the northern steps The moonlinght beckons my soul to howl While in man's twilight world I slept The beast of my soul yearns to be free From the shackless that keep it inside Am I the wolf, has the wolf become me When no more, I'm able to hide My eyes are two way mirrors Concealing the spirit within That stirs my mind in a terror An innocent heart black with sin Within my heart there rages and prowls A wolf of the northern steps The moonlinght beckons my soul to howl While in man's twilight world I slept The beast of my soul yearns to be free From the shackless that keep it inside Am I the wolf, has the wolf become me When no more, I'm able to hide the beast of my sopul years to be free Am I the wolf, yes, the wolfs become me

I always thought you were my friends Thought that you believed in me, behind me till the end I always thought you would be here And never thought it'd end like this, resentment and the bitterness Now, I see that you were only here To take all that you could get, I now the truth and won't forget You, took my heart, my soul, my songs Used me and then walked away, but when your crying back I'll say (Chorus) Don't look to me, when your world is falling down And you need someone around Don't look to me When your friends have all betrayed you And you need someone to save you, don't look to me Once, we were the bond no one could break But over time the chain got weak, Selfishness the weakest link Now, I'll rise above my broken past Forget the ones who pulled me down, Find happiness at last Don't look to me, when your world is falling down And you need someone around Don't look to me When your friends have all betrayed you And you need someone to save you, don't look to me Standing here alone, knowing I can make it on my own Sometimes all that we can do Is push forward through the storm Standing here alone, knowing I can make it on my own Sometimes all that we can do Is push forward through the storm

Three weeks ago yesterday, the last time we spoke Today's distance holds us too far to measure and tomorrow will never hold us that close Our hands once stitched together Weaving bloodstreams into one Arteries under pressure Sharing breath in our lungs Crossing our hearts hoping to die If fingers untangled attempt to defy Passion above all else Giving my heart or nothing else What's left of myself, isn't myself When used up and placed on a shelf Passion above all else Giving my heart or nothing else What's left of myself, isn't myself Passion above all else I opened up a hole in my chest, so deep And extracted so much of myself One can't help but hurt This time I'm going to feel it in the morning I dream of love when love can't be seen I don't forgive you for giving up on me But I understand wht causes distance And loss of interest You said you'd give up the world I've never meant so much to someone And been so soon forgotten Passion above all else Giving my heart or nothing else What's left of myself, isn't myself When used up and placed on a shelf Passion above all else Giving my heart or nothing else What's left of myself, isn't myself Passion above all else Passion pledges never to wander, Never to wonder What could be different, what could be undone Swearing to stay true, undiluted, Following through Focused on the sun, the bearer of all purity Shuttering out discouraging light Channeling streams of foresight To warm my face and never replace Passion as the source of all grace
