Whenever I get my hands on new music I sometimes go into a lyrical-writing spree. Since I've been listening to The Open Door for just about 26 hours straight now it's no surprise that I've been writing like crazy. The following two were written at 2:30 this morning (yeah, I'm a night owl) and I have yet to put a title to them. It's one story split into two parts. I'm pleased with how they turned out and I'm curious to hear what you think of them.

Just so you know, these are more on the darker side. I do write happier songs.

Part I
Why must we hide dear?
Lovers should wear white
Not afraid to be seen
Yet here we are dear
Black as our tainted dreams
I’ve been waiting forever
For someone to want me too
For a man like you
So much older than my innocence
Yet you came anyway

There are times when you scare me
Into a strange state of belief
Where you become a monster
And I’m your relief
Not tonight
You promised me safety
Not tonight
We have more important things
On our minds

Why are you crying dear?
What have you to hide?
There’s nothing to fear, dear
You said that yourself
A shadow towers over me
I take refuge in you
Cold, so cold
Where did your warmth go?

There are times when you scare me
Into a strange state of belief
Where you become a monster
And I’m your relief
Not tonight
You promised me safety
Not tonight
We have more important things
On our minds

Why am I screaming?
What’s this you’re bleeding!
No wait I’m bleeding!
WHY AM I BLEEDING?

STOP!

Why won’t you stop?
Why won’t you stop?
If you love me stop!
Yet you don’t stop
You whisper that you want me
And my body
That I belong to you forever now
What the hell did you do?

There are times when you scare me
Into a strange state of belief
Where you become a monster
And I’m your relief
Tonight!
You lied about safety
Tonight!
Why can’t this be a dream?

Just a horrible dream!


Part II
Leave me here to die will you?
I have ways of dealing with that
Leave me to find a way without you?
You’re the one dependant on me
You said it yourself
You can’t live without anyone else
I’ll make you see
How much of a bitch I can be!

Hell hath nothing
Over me now!
Hell could empty its fury
And lose to myself
You knew I was evil
You poured that belief into me
Now that you broke through the shell
I’ll show you how dangerous I can be!

If you want the demon here
Just look in the mirror
Your lies are all here in my hand
Took your betrayal to understand
You never cared for me!
Just wanted to own my body!
Like hell I’ll let you be free
After you set fire to my wings!

Hell hath nothing
Over me now!
Hell could empty its fury
And lose to myself
You knew I was evil
You poured that belief into me
Now that you broke through the shell
I’ll show you how dangerous I can be!

No other doves will fall for your delight!
I’ll make sure that I’m the last one
To creep with you at night
Lust your greatest sin
Also your greatest denial
How sweet, your love
Is nothing but a sick fantasy!
