Hearts Once Nourished With Hope and Compassion

A discontent for the vile and the wretched Will bring forth reparations of the most severe degree Things will change And I will be the catalyst to Weed out the weak and beget strength of character Glorifying minds and souls Celebrate the spirit while denying breath and life To those who would choose to live depraved Depravity, a thing of the past A life not in vain I am the end, I am beginning life anew My soul is free from weakness Free Refined as gold A standard to be met by all As we embrace righteousness, we embrace life Purified, united. set aside from the majority I will serve as an example to man as hope By defending those I love with my life I stand here bold and strong As a testament to my abstinence My heart is open; this slate is clean

No contact I have to let you die I have to let you fade So spare me the bald accusations I would have told you those things you wanted to hear And I would have cared The way you thought no one ever would And now my heart bleeds cold I refuse to be caressed by stone I now live emotionless and free from your pain My heart bleeds the darkest blood And now my heart bleeds cold I refuse to be caressed by stone I now live emotionless and free from your pain My heart bleeds the darkest blood I die I am dead The way you thought no one No one ever would My heart As cold as stone A rock feels no pain My heart As cold as stone No laughter No loving No contact

Avoid the mirror lest I break it With the stone that serves as my heart Accept this pretty package named friend Except this it entails love Not so attractive anymore Accept this pretty package named friend Except that it entails love It's never as pretty as it seems and now it never was at all No it never was All I asked was to be important All I wanted was someone to trust In my eternal scheme, your act of friendship means nothing Friendships are weak and nothing is dear to me Acquaintance stole my confidence My humor My compassion My solace Left me with myself and laughed as it walked away I refuse to be your tolerance, I will not be your embarrassment I'm not so attractive any more Take this burden away I can only stand in front of a broken mirror for so long Staring at the reflection of failed attempts at love and a black heart My heart, once nourished with hope and compassion, now is black as death Trudging forward, broken, devoid of love I am nothing more than scars

Lies of self-indulgent pride A sense of justice misdirected for the sake of the lost A claim to inflict punishment for those who have been unjust And there's a line that can't be crossed between belief and obsession Nonexistent caring based on situation ethics No benefit can come from the line being drawn To be guided by faith, is to be Is to be misled A joke to the weak, a fixation to the strong So who's wrong, and who will decide what's right? With so few actions, so many words Won't take this complacency anymore I won't accept the criticism of my peers I won't accept this objection I cannot judge others lives only to justify my own One more word and I'm broken One more word

If these hands would only kill They'd cleanse the world with its own blood They'd cleanse the world, if these hands would only kill These hands would cleanse your soul of the lust and the greed of this world And they call me a fool as they do so well Destroy the morality none have known for so long if ever at all And I would lay down my life to birth a new generation of a righteous culture To a people I could proudly love and cherish For that's all I've ever asked for and been deprived of Not a tear for those of flesh Not a stayed hand for a world that prostitutes itself Not a minute more of degeneration Words cannot express my disappointment Words cannot express my disapproval So I hate I hate a world that's capable of triumph Do I stand idly by and let this world disintegrate This world will pass away, and my emotions with it Why should I strive for acceptance and peace of mind This hate consumes me And it runs deep A profound hatred of man

Human is a degrading word As human, I renounce myself I yield to no man There will be no peace Not on Earth Not amongst men Indulge Be content Soften yourselves I look beyond weakness and fashion Confide not in flesh If I can't change the world I'll disregard it And look beyond Pray to calm my heart Pray for the fools And your actions will speak alone I will be at peace I am not a man

I kid myself! Bring it on! Afraid to turn But I did and met no maker at all Only instead, reflections of a rippled self I may at last see myself as good In a neutral pond unbiased and real Depicting only what is true (what is true) A distortion my hand has forced I have created the wake I may at last see myself as good Paint a false, paint a false scenario (scenario) My life has been a breach of contract and faith I kid myself. I kid myself. I kid myself Moving through self degradation I turn to you for appreciation So help me to help myself So help me to love myself

Our outlook is bleak but the moment is grand To be told we're independent is not enough We should strive for autonomous thoughts And your pride in you conformity is sickening This useless praise But this desire for focus triggers abuse Of an endless sense of insecurity We grasp at endless questions for a sense of hope It's not so simple to sit and wait We cannot embrace our roles blindly They're assigned They are assigned, based on the fact that we will accept Minds are in suspended animation Due to an attachment to this established lifestyle My existence will not be dictated like a reading from a book I will not be predetermined Our outlook is bleak When approval is all we crave and the moment is grand Your pride is sickening In your conformity But this moment is grand We should strive for autonomous thoughts Approval is all we crave!

Poured myself out: I am the empty cup My hope died away And my tolerance has faded How can I keep stability On such shaky ground? Prayers that a smile will flag me down Sadly I've learned there's no truth in comfort; Well-being stems not from love Anguish proves to be my only means of solace Yet I want to be held by anyone With any arms I spend another morn alone In a world that rejects me A public unkind, laced with apathy This one's for the world: I hate you Life could get no colder; I'm living out a dying cell But I can pull through
