Here are a bunch of songs I've written over the past year. Some from life experiences, some from my imagination. Comments, questions, and constructive criticism welcome. Enjoy.

Divine Debris

Crying myself to sleep is an all too familiar pastime
Night after night, endless tears stream down my face
Trying to numb my wretching pain
My skin burns as I look in the mirror and see what I've become
I once again remind myself
That pretty faces lie well, but the mirror never lies

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops

I keep telling myself that all I have to do
Is pull the triger and the nightmare will stop...
But I'm holding onto a dream that will never come true

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops

Dreams are wishes our our hearts break
When you are fast asleep

The angels fall and become divine debris
As our hearts destroy every last memory of them

Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops

Death is only the beginning...

Toxic Butterfly

The hour is late and your shadow lingers at my back
All that once was has dissipated to the wind
Broken wings are all I have left
Lost in your lies you pretend like nothing's wrong

I want to take you
And drown you in my tears
Every last drop
Until you realize
That your life isn't worth
The piece of paper it's written on

Broken wings
Broken heart
Broken soul
What more could I ask for?

The poison slowly flows through my veins
I become a toxic butterfly
And with broken wings I will learn to fly again

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Black Tears for a Black Rose

The night is young
And the hour is early
As I mindlessly wander in the mist
The moonlight is the only hope in the night
Reflecting off the tombstones in the distance
A rose the color of night
Awaits me at my feet

Is there no remedy for my broken wings?
Black tears pour out from my stone cold heart
And do nothing but stain my eyes
To become one with the darkness

Even the most innocent of roses bleed
I see myself in the black rose that lays bleeding before me
Black tears for a black rose
Black tears for a black rose

Is there no remedy for my broken wings?
Black tears pour out from my stone cold heart
And do nothing byt stain my eyes
To become one with the darkness

Eternally bound to one fate
These roses reflect only images of broken beauty
Beauty never to be healed
Only can the tears of Death heal these wounds

Is there no remedy for my broken wings?
Black tears pour out from my stone cold heart
And do nothing byt stain my eyes
To become one with the darkness

Black tears for a black rose
Black tears for a black rose
Will you cry black tears for my black rose?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take Me Away

How many times must I walk
Walk down this lonely road (no one's there)
Lined with nothing but flames of fear
This pain has woken me
From my once comforting dreams
My heart burns

Take me away
To the place where my dreams are my reality
Oh how I long to leave this place
Take me away
Take me away my love

My tears are my only comfort
I cry till my eyes run dry
I cry tears of pain
I cry tears of emptiness
I cry tears of lonliness

I lie awake intoxicated with memories of you
Wishing for deliverance by your soul
I will love you until the end of time
Dead or alive
My heart will forever burn

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Everything

I can never be close enough to you
I'd be lost without you
Lost in the emptiness inside of me
I stumble towards bliss as I taste love's first kiss
Your heartbeat drives me towards extacy

My whole world is around you
I see your face in the mirror
In place of mine
Filling the void inside my hollow soul
I want to do nothing
But be with you
And give you my all, my everything

When you are with me
Nothing else matters
Execpt us
Staring deep into eachother's eyes
And embracing our souls for what lies ahead

My whole world is around you
I see your face in the mirror
In place of mine
Filling the void inside my hollow soul
I want to do nothing
But be with you
And give you my all, my everything

I whisper three words in your ear
As my tears seal my words and make them genuine...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Forbidden Love

Love is patient...Love is kind...

You are my one love that I will never have
I am only allowed to taste forbidden love
I will die to know that you are alive
The day I find my tears in the ocean
Is the day I will stop loving you

My heart screams for you in the darkness
Desperately searching, longing
For the one thing it cannot have
Just to hear your heartbeat
Causes me to fumble towards extacy

You are my one love that I will never have
I am only allowed to taste forbidden love
I will die to know that you are alive
The day I find my tears in the ocean
Is the day I will stop loving you

Not a day goes by when I don't think about you
My love for you will withstand
The trials of time and fire
Eternally wishing that I could share it with you
Only in death will you know my love

You are my one love that I will never have
I am only allowed to taste forbidden love
I will die to know that you are alive
The day I find my tears in the ocean
Is the day I will stop loving you

Love knows no boundaries... Love is blind...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My True Reflection

The lightning strikes again
You see nothing but my eyes
Looking deep inside you
Reaching into your soul

You are my mirror
I look into you
And see what I really am
A liar and a whore
Never anything less, never anything more

My true reflection has shown itself
Buried inside me all these years
Provoked to come out
By haunting memories surfacing again (and again)

You are my mirror
I look into you
And see what I really am
A liar and a whore
Never anything less, never anything more

I become hollow at last
As my soul spills out into the night
The last of me is gone
My empty presence lurks these streets
As I become undead

You are my mirror
I look into you
And see what I really am
A liar and a whore
Never anything less, never anything more

Eloi, Eloi, labba sabachthani...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Memories

Gather up the bones
Of your dead memories
They lay here collecting dust
Decaying into the darkness of the past

You can't remember
Your past is lost
You don't know who you are
But I do

Death has stolen your memories
And she has left nothing behind
But the brittle skeletons
That decompose into the void

You can't remember
Your past is lost
You don't know who you are
But I do

Your memories scream to be free
Only I can hear them
Because I live among the dead
I hear them calling out to me
Longing to return to you

You can't remember
Your past is lost
You don't know who you are
But I do

Nothing is left
Nothing is left
Death has prevailed...

(Ring around the rosy
A pocket full of posy
Ashes, ashes
We all fall down...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bloody Lullaby

You want to hear my story
But I say no
It is a tale of pain, suffering, and gore
It will give you endless nightmares
You think it's just a bedtime story (but it's not)

I will sing you a bloody lullaby
My life of sorrow and pain
Filled to the brim with tears of regret
One that you can only imagine

I tell you my story
I look into your eyes
As I see them glaze over in fear
I show you my heart
Eternally wounded
With scars that will never heal

I will sing you a bloody lullaby
My life of sorrow and pain
Filled to the brim with tears of regret
One that you can only imagine

My words wrap around your heart
Engulfing it in fear
Showing you what I live through (everyday)
You beg me to stop
But I'm only giving you what you asked for

I will sing you a bloody lullaby
My life of sorrow and pain
Filled to the brim with tears of regret
One that you can only imagine

I will sing you a bloody lullaby
A bloody lullaby...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel of the Darkness

My life is empty
I've become the nothing
I've feared for so long
I live each day
Faking life
It hurts to smile
I pretend to believe
As I stumble towards death

No one knows my pain
I am all alone
I hurt myself on the outside
To kill the pain on the inside

My soul is the color of night
Stained an eternal black
Never resting
Crying out into the darkness
But no one's there

No one knows my pain
I am all alone
I hurt myself on the outside
To kill the pain on the inside

My veins run cold with the blood of death
It poisons my mind
It infiltrates my heart
It blinds me from all that's good

No one knows my pain
I am all alone
I hurt myself on the outside
To kill the pain on the inside

I scream for the last time
As your heartbeat
Fades into the void
And I become an angel of the darkness...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Your Regret

Your words and actions are fake
All the deceptions
Will dissapear to show me the way
Your ignore my screams
Because you think nothing is wrong

You treat me like you care (But you don't)
You talk to me like it matters (But it doesn't)
You live for no one
Your words to me are empty
Your love for me means nothing

Your obsession with me
Is all in your head
I was never yours
And never will be
I can see through you
You are so hollow
Your heart is black
full of greed and lust

You treat me like you care (But you don't)
You talk to me like it matters (But it doesn't)
You live for no one
Your words to me are empty
Your love for me means nothing

I warned you
But no
Your ignorance
Lets you live in bliss
Regret will be your only thought now
Welcome to your worst nightmare...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Only In Death

I hear my name in the distance
The darkness becons me
Death tempts me with the promise of serenity
Nothing is holding me back

Only in death will I be accepted
Only in death will I be truly happy
Only in death will I be loved
Only in death will I be beautiful

I slowly close my eyes
For the last time
As I fade from this place
I have nothing left to lose

Only in death will I be accepted
Only in death will I be truly happy
Only in death will I be loved
Only in death will I be beautiful

I deeply draw my last breath
Exhaling till the last of my air is gone
Hoping the darkness
Is better than this life

Only in death will I be accepted
Only in death will I be truly happy
Only in death will I be loved
Only in death will I be beautiful

I give unto Death
Letting everything go
I think of you
As I drink her tears...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

No Turning Back

You have only seen the outside
It looks innocent and pure
But is only a covering
A mask
A deception
As to what lies beneath

Once you enter the dark
There is no turning back
Will you sell your soul
To hide the light?
Or will you fade into the darkness?

The darkness seeps into your veins
As it sends a chill down your body
Unimaginable nightmares appear before your eyes
Haunting screams are heard in the wind
Death hovers nearby
You taste her bittersweet presence
She is so close
Watching your every move

Once you enter the dark
There is no turning back
Will you sell your soul
To hide the light?
Or will you fade into the darkness?

Terrifying images flash through your mind
As they are burned there forever
Don't even think
Of trying to get out
Because there's no way

Once you enter the dark
There is no turning back
Will you sell your soul
To hide the light?
Or will you fade into the darkness?

You regret coming down this forsaken path
But then you see me in the shadows...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blood Red Rose

My life
Is falling apart
One petal at a time
Like the blood red rose
You gave to me
The one thorn
You left on
Pricked my delicate skin

To this day
My wound
Is still pouring crimson blood
Sweet and innocent
But it will never stop
My wound will never heal

As the last petal falls
My life comes crashing down
Right before my eyes
It's all over
I see myself dissipate like vapor

To this day
My wound
Is still pouring crimson blood
Sweet and innocent
But it will never stop
My wound will never heal

Nothing is left of me
Just like the wilted rose petals on the floor
I lay dying as I watch
The last drop of blood
Fall from my pricked finger

To this day
My wound
Is still pouring crimson blood
Sweet and innocent
But it will never stop
My wound will never heal

My last drop of blood
Falls on a dead petal
But does nothing
I am forever lost...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Obsession

My mind will not dwell
On anything else but you
You found your way inside me
With your cunning words and ways

You are the one poison
I will let flow through my veins
I cannot live without you
I can't get enough of you

Your essence
Is what keeps me alive
Without you I'd be nothing
A victim of Death
A ghost silently floating at your side

You are the one poison
I will let flow through my veins
I cannot live without you
I can't get enough of you

Keep me alive
I crave your deadly poison...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Eternal Pain

I am so sick of repeating myself
When no one understands me
I am alone in this world
No one knows my eternal pain
You can never imaginge
In your feeble mind
What I've gone through
To have pain like this

Every breath I take
Every move I make
Every word I speak
Will it be my last?
Will the pain overcome me?

You sit there and watch me
Doing nothing
Going on with your life
Like there's nothing wrong
I pour my heart and soul out to you
And you betray me to this poison
As it creeps into my soul
And slowly takes over my mind
Destroying what's left of me
Reducing me to the nothing
Others see me as

Every breath I take
Every move I make
Every word I speak
Will it be my last?
Will the pain overcome me?

None of it matters anymore
Nothing is stopping me from helping the poison
And ending this torture
I want to end it all
NOW
Let me out...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Poison Laced Knives

The world is against me
Nothing is going my way
Everyone hates me
My only friend left
Is Death herself
Shall I give into her pleas
And end all my pain and suffering
Right here
Right now

I can't take it anymore
I've tried so hard
To get out of this nightmare
But I can't wake up
Because your presence is keeping me here

You enjoy watching me suffer
My torment gives you pleasure
Your words filled with poison laced knives
Hurt me one after another
And you enjoy every minute of it

I can't take it anymore
I've tried so hard
To get out of this nightmare
But I can't wake up
Because your presence is keeping me here

But it all ends tonight...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mercury

Endless tears of mercury
Stream down my face
One after another
Never stopping
I have never known true happiness
Only pain
So I sit here and cry
And attempt to alleviate the pain
But the contents of my soul
Just escape me through my tears
Leaving me empty inside

Then I evaporate
Right before your eyes
Never to return
Never to be remembered
By anyone or anything

So I sit here and cry
And attempt to alleviate the pain
But the contents of my soul
Just escape me through my tears
Leaving me empty inside

To dissapear forever
And never come back
Is my only wish...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One of Them

I fell into your trap
I was a fool
And you blinded me with your words
That were sweet on the outside
But on the inside,
They were nothing but empty promises

You are one of them
Even though you claim not to be
I will not get lost in your lies anymore
I will fight your lies to know the truth

You said you care for me too much
Just to use me like the others did
But you betrayed my trust and lied to my face

You are one of them
Even though you claim not to be
I will not get lost in your lies anymore
I will fight your lies to know the truth

I am tired of your fake words and deceit...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Get Out

Have the spirits come back again
Or is it you
Coming back to torture me?

I can feel you
Feel you inside me
Inside my mind
Haunting me
With the memories of you
That I can't stop thinking about

I used to try so hard to imagine what you look like
And now I can't get you out of my head
I am haunted
By the memory
Of the first time you kissed me
You... memories of you
Are in my head
I see your face in the mirror instead of mine
You are taking over me
Killing me from the inside

I can feel you
Feel you inside me
Inside my mind
Haunting me
With the memories of you
That I can't stop thinking about

Get out
Get out...

Death looks upon us

I wake up in the midst of decit and treachery
Blindly wandering I am drawn into the tempting
I turn away but I am consumed by desire

Have another taste of the tainted poison
Deciet is loving, but promises are meant to be broken

Hiding in the shadows is only a momentary comfort
And now I will become the hunted
Intoxicated by your lust, I know you are there

Black rain falls from the sky
As I dissipate into the abyss
And you color me into the bent reality you live in

Betrayal is the best form of flattery
Have another taste of the poison
Because promises are meant to be broken

Smile, Death looks upon us...

OMG!!!Your writings are very good!!
I can feel the emotions and the tension in some of those!!
My favs are Divine Debris, Forbidden Love, Bloody Lullaby, Poison Laced Knives and Get out!!

Hehe yep, that's my attempt to sneak Ev in there.

I sooooo wish I had the voice to record some of these songs. But first I'd need to write music for them. It's my lifelong goal to find someone to use these lyrics.

I would love to see just even one of these songs used.


Thanks for the compliments, guys

Return To The Dust

Obsessed with death
You have no time to live
Are you living to die
Or dying to live?

Suspended in time I look down upon myself
The blood coarsing through your veins is so cold
It's almost alive
Empathy is the only thing you feel

You walk through the ashes of fallen angels
With no respect as to who they once were

You know not what you do
Oh, and the sweet, sweet revenge will show you

Am I good enough for you?
Or will I return to the dust from which I rose?
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust
Rising again will see me through
But I will rise again from the depths of which I froze

----------------------------------------------------

The Perfect Circle

I want nothing more than the one thing I have been denied
The one person I truely love
Was taken away by the one person I hate
Evil has truely come full circle
Return to the oblivion of fear

What once was, is nevermore
Don't wake the dead or they will only bring more
What more will be taken away
I will never know
But now nothing is left to live for

My love has betrayed me for the evil
Never again will anything be safe
Darkness knows no boundaries
And it won't stop until it has you
So don't wake the dead
And take care, for there is nothing left but fear
