So Sad

Her face was slashed with a knife.
She was evicted from her life!
The gashes filled with blood, 
he thought he was such a stud!

The constant bashing on her brain,
made him go even more insane!
What did she do wrong?
Except for singing a song
that he didn’t like at all!
So, she had to take a fall!

When the police came round to call,
he knew nothing at all!
Said when he came home,
she was already in a zone.

So innocent all of a sudden,
but something he has forgotten.
What about the doubt,
maybe someone heard a shout!

What will he do?
Go & kill them too,
or will he start to run,
& in the end,
just kill himself with a gun!

The Drunk

The Drunk
He drank himself to sleep again.
Hoping that it will be better tomorrow.
Always the same story,
Feeling so sorry, but not to worry
It will be ok.

He wasn’t always like that.
Things were better before.
Back then, he still felt sorry for a whore.
When he sees them now, he gets a sly smile.
‘cause when you’re drunk & gone,
It’s always a little fun.

Slapping them around
‘till they’re silent & sound.
Playing his games,
Oh what a shame,
He has become such a lame.

Tomorrow when he’s sober
He’ll feel so ashamed.
It’s too late now
Last night is gone & over.
Never to repeat itself again.

Poor guy,
He was always so shy.
Now he’s just a drunk
& no one wants to help,
‘Cause his life already sunk.

Insanity

My self inflicted sanity,
has caused me more pain,
than the unwillingness of my insanity
to set me free.
trapped in a soulless world,
i wonder endlessly forever.

So Sorry

Loosing sight as he drifts in the water.
Sinking slowly, silently.
He was swiftly swept of his life,
no warning what so ever!

Yet, the burn of crying desire,
that’s in his body,
was feeding on him from within.
Ripping & feeding on his soul.

The desperate cry for escape,
was stripping his heart
into its ventricle casings,
un-denyingly on purpose.

As if u would be able
to stop it anyway!
While u sit in agony,
helpless & unwillingly fearing, 
for whatever will happen next!

Time

TIME (Changes)

It makes me sad to see,
How life can get u down,
It breaks my heart when i witness
how u change in no time!

a Different person each day,
a different mentality, with no other way.
Why do u change so much?
What happens when u are gone?

a Change is as good as anything,
but a change can lead u the wrong way!
Away from me, away from the world!
Will u find your way again?

Maybe I should change,
I might be in the wrong!
I came along,
singing my own song,
doing things, not thinking about the wrong!

We all change over time,
to come into our own.
But time, we don’t have!
Life doesn’t go on forever!
