One Second

Through the searching lights that weave and dart Comes the stranger that cares not for your heart The pain of living life this way Must take its toll on you some day Your jaded eyes can see Embarrassment or harm The frail skin that bleeds Emotionally on guard All lowest forms of life are pounding you inside You're hollow cold display your tired masquerade Let the image that you present entice Unlike the mirror that shows the strains of vice This act of contact your decay While willing souls will more than pay

You live for times of solace Within a sign there's a promise Don't lose all faith cause you shake at night It's in the art of the process In another rhyme, beyond this place The healing's fast enough... Done a thousand times, a thousands ways Until you've had enough It's mercy you're asking for, cheating life by taking more It's mercy you're asking for, take my life or give me more... The loss of prize possessions To cure the mind's obsession Could trade your soul for that normal life Elite to all objections... See beyond all tears, and broken years Your senses giving up Lose all confidence at your expense Your courage swallowed up

I could not care less for oh, so many things Tales of your distress and what tomorrow brings Alluring you on sight I'd harbour my delight You could not care for what tune sorrow sings In this battle of ages A breath of fire would light your pilot Are you soul courageous A breath of life would make you maybe see You bring me to the ground You bring me to the ground Victory's in vain unless one knows the score Inner peace reclines, in place the bitter scorn Spirit maketh man Always at hand The spirit fails to save the ones worth waiting for

Another day and the guilt is gone Another day will stress the weak and the strong Just a memory that we've become I have taken without warning When the day has just begun... A summers day And my blood runs cold I can hear you in the morning As I’m reaching out to haunt you A summers day And my blood runs cold You will never hear me calling As I’m reaching to destroy you Another day won't ease the sorrow Another day will help frustration to grow All the pictures and the face of hope I have taken without warning When the day has just begun...

I find when I’m all alone, that I feel so ashamed, cause all my pride is gone Say what you never can resist Say what you never would believe Give what you never want to show Give what you never would receive A time when I’m all alone & I’m breathing afraid, cause all my pride is gone Elate the tears i create, how completely inane, cause all my pride is gone Collapse at my sorry stance, but I need to surpass cause... My only thrill alone in my own hell

I can take one day to achieve my goal, then it starts again In this circumstance that I call my own dreams just don't deliver I never needed foes Forever feeling low Cause they break me down Cannot fake this frown I never took offence I never swore in advance But I’ll break you down With my poison mouth again I cannot deny bittersweet recline to a sole religion It's a certain way that I’m feeling host to a new deception...

You'll see the blood... blood of another You'll see the blood as we roll in it together You'll see the blood... blood of another You'll see the blood as we roll in it together tonight What unruly life is like? What is fabled wisdom like? This indulgent grace is spinning round and leaving all behind Knowledge limits you besides Claiming you're so sure by vibes In this frozen climate the temperature should bring you down to rights Beauty, purity inside Twisted madness, filth and vice Death is not selective The darker shroud will fall on all despite Recklessness, the fault in mind Anger laughter can't provide Try to turn a blind eye The wasting pain, one trip you cannot buy...

In living with a fear of chance The chance of fears the only reason you're awake We decrease in size when burdened with your mind But you know escape is to run In a constant commotion When I speak it's revulsion maybe you'll disappear Recall the past when you were strong Those distant days it seems are now forever gone You'll increase desire to wander and retire But you'll know escape is to run

Seasons of sun won't suffice But for you my guarding light I'd walk around this earth Though the streets are paved with gold I'd collect it to be sold I'm bringing this on myself But I feel for you, will you show you're sane In your mouth a loaded gun Pull the trigger have you won Let's see how you can do It's the darker days you dread All the hurtful things I said It seems I’m nothing But I feel for you, will you show you're sane

You aren't what I love, you aren't what I need You aren't what I love, you aren't what I need What I need Don't let them take me down there You aren't what I love, you aren't what I see You hate from above, you become what I need What I need Don't let them take me down

In your hands I’m trying In your hands I’m trying flight I can't die In your hands I’m trying In your hands I’m trying flight I can't die I'm flying in the cold breeze every night Spare me all the strife My desires never tire But would it feel much better if I died? Petty highs - get me by but how long must I live with this disguise... Have you no direction? I just sense pretentious signs In your highs I hear the same old stories every night Spare me all the strife My desires never tire But would it feel much better if I died? Petty highs - get me by but how long must I live with this disguise...
