Demure Rage

You woke up a beast in me

That I thought I killed off before

And now that it’s enraged, wide awake

You don’t know if you should go or stay

To run far away or shelter in place 

I’m willing to let anyone get away with murder

Until you some how find a way to take it too far

And now it’s crazy how my passiveness 

Is replaced by anger worse than torment eternal 

Ya really should run

Faster than sound

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage

Ya really should go

And not be found 

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage. 

I don’t know what i could do

With all this chaos erupting

No one’s safe and no one understands 

When this destructive side came to be

But in my eyes they see it’s frightening 

I’ve turned my cheek so many times now all I know is numb. 

But somewhere deep in my forgiving nature is a 

Piece of me that wants no apologies 

Only revenge that’s nothing but irrational

Ya really should run

Faster than sound

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage

Ya really should go

And not be found 

Far from the range 

Of my demure rage. 

The Abyss

 The Abyss

Just who am I anymore

A wasted opportunity 

Rusting remains in the rain

My basic needs forgotten

All I ever wanted from anyone 

Was to receive and feel their love

But now all I ever pray for is a

Sweet release into the abyss. 

Where light fades into dark

Where this becomes nothing 

Where sound echoes silent 

The abyss beacons me away from you

Despite my melancholy 

I know this isn’t usual

No chemical imbalance

Can explain you draining me

Somehow you always say and do things wrong

Making me ask what’s wrong with me 

I know the truth but it doesn't stop me

From jumping into the abyss

Where dreams awaken gone

Where we are you and I

Where love hates what it is

The abyss tries to shelter me from pain

Because you lack the ability to find

Happiness in any real way

You somehow manage to drain any joy

When just the thought of you approaching me

When I hear your name, or I see your face 

I retreat into the abyss

Where nothing is abound

Where substance is null

Where truth contains no proof

The abyss comforts and envelopes me

Where dreams awaken gone

Where we are you and I

Where love hates what it is

The abyss tries to shelter me from pain

Where light fades into dark

Where this becomes nothing 

Where sound echoes silent 

The abyss beacons me away from you

The Whore In Town

 The Whore In Town

When your life gets in the sights of the whore in town 

Nothing that was yours before is just yours now

Had that guy, so have they 

On that scene, now their thing

What was you, they now are.  

The drive home not alone 

Where you go so do they 

And before you know it 

You’re missing in your own life but not missed 

They’ve seamlessly taken your everything 

Blame it on them

The whore in town

So be aware 

When your life gets in the sights of the whore in town 

Nothing that was yours before is just yours now

Find true love, now their date

Wanted that, now they have 

Had a cry in public 

But they had the spotlight 

And there you go unheard, 

Unseen just like a dream

You once had but someone else is living 

And now your soul might as well be his own

Blame it on them

The whore in town

So be aware 

When your life gets in the sights of the whore in town 

Nothing that was yours before is just yours now

On Loneliness

 On Loneliness

In the silence past an echo

Is a reminder of loneliness

And you're terrified 

You could have had a good thing

With me or probably 

Any other guy before me

But instead of working on the best 

You’re blowing through the rest 

But it’s something you’ll never know

Never grow up into the light 

Just beyond a little solitude 

In the silence past an echo

Is a reminder of loneliness

And you’re terrified

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But do you need all these guys 

Filling every hour of everyday 

Beside you, inside you?

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But time alone could be good

Learn you can thrive without all these men

That just come, then they go

No wonder you look tired

You can’t heal in the peace 

Of a honest self reflection

You might never have to be alone

But those you’ve used have to. 

Do you even know you’re damaged. 

Debris left everywhere you go 

Pieces of you for us to deal with 

In the silence past an echo

Is a reminder of loneliness

And you’re terrified

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But do you need all these guys 

Filling every hour of everyday 

Beside you, inside you?

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But time alone could be good

Learn you can thrive without all these men

That just come, then they go

On loneliness you’re no expert

Except how to leave it in your wake

But beware of your karma

As you’ll get it 10 times more than you’ve gave 

In the silence past an echo

Is a reminder of loneliness

And you’re terrified

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But do you need all these guys 

Filling every hour of everyday 

Beside you, inside you?

I know you don’t want 2B alone 

But time alone could be good

Learn you can thrive without all these men

That just come, then they go
