Sinful Beauty Spare Me

Beauty bleeds through skin
Infecting all which festers 
So deep within
The skeletons cary such secrets
To disgrace and shame Gorgeous
Saying it no longer forgets

We both know what's going on
Spare us the pain
Please, just walk away
You're like a magnet and I'm the steel
It's surfaced and reared its sinful head
Would I partakein this temptation?

Beauty leaves me scrambling,
Reaching for anything firm
Safety net's burnt
My closet's filling and going quick
I shouldn't have let myself fall for you
It's time I just quit

The Night In Stalingrad

It comes every once so often
Seeking the searing cry of pain
With the persistence of starving men
     It finds the throne to reign
Pushing and pushing until I rhyme
Against my will I would do this
Its determination to them cry
     Matches only the dying men

If you should come
     from the pits of only Hell
Leave me be at the stoop
And on that step you will see
A man of deadened dreams
For the love of the first woman had
     on the night of Stalingrad

The hopes of this city's capture soon
Whelms them with tenacity
They would fortell only cries and doom
     on the siezure of this city
Citizens scream and run for shelter
They're wings were clipped
Because of this, they knew no better
     upon the night of Stalingrad

They may search
     and they may find
Their families and all their pieces

I wasn't there all those years ago
But the dreams pf the involvement make it seem so
I've envisioned another just like it
Only it wasn't s foreign
Upon our soil the blood will set
Just like it did in Stalingrad

Prince Charming

So I suppose you didn't think I would care when you left
   me on the side of the road
You said I was different, you said not the same
But you simpley laughed as you through me away

At the moment I read those words I knew that I was through with you
You didn't think I would be the one to walk away
But what you didn't see is i had another stashed away
Wrong move, I know, but I saw this coming

Now I can only wonder if you think of me when you look at her
What you did was wrong in so many ways
But now I know I'm stronger than you, 
   now I know you're weak
I see you in a couple of years burning your last bridge
And your last breathe would be so sweet
   for you and for me
It'll be like whiskey in my veins
But the whiskey would be bitter sweet, like the tears I never shed
The cries inside tell me I knew better than to
   get involved with such a mistake
Although my deeds were done cheap, 
   at what cost did it come for those other than me?
My conscience lay bare on the floor weeping in pain
Deadened hearts of mine unite and now I see what you really are
Just a scared little child in a messed up world
Oh, I know i can't save you, so don't
   turn to me as a savior, I'll never take your hand
I'll never take your pain away, I'm not your Prince Charming

I Found the Devil

I'm severred from life
A million miles south of Heaven
But childrenplease don't cry
I'll be fine, it'll work out
Unless before then I die
Just keep your chin up
And let Will take you in

I fear we're not alone
I stil wonder...sometimes
Is it Gabriel? Lucifer?

Just picked up and spit out
Chewed but not swallowed
You despise the taste
Cut me, beat me, rape me
I'm totally different now
Dreaming of what I only know

And if I caught myself
Trying to kill myself
Would I stop?
Because of you, Kristina, I'll never be the same

--So there I was
Lying there crying, bleeding, and dyin as I write
I felt alone and alienated
But then I found Trinity

Arial's Song..

I wanna tell you I love you
Every night of your life
Hold you in my arms and tell you
   everything will be alright
And I wanna let you know every day of your life
   I'll always be at your side
And I hope you know when the sun goes down
   you're the last thing crossing my mind

Here we are on this wonderful day
The sun is shining as the birds sing away
Their littles beating when two are one
We lack the time to see what we have done
   to this earth we're given so selflessly
The dirt we walk on you see, I 
   know I'm no prophet and I know I'm no saint
But I know how to love and I know how to care

I know how to show you matter the most, more than the air I breathe
I adore every move that you make, you squeaky high voice when full of glee
And now tell me, will you stay with me at the world's end I see?
Through cataclysmic fear, I will always be right here

I wanna tell you I love you for the rest of our lives
Hold you in my arms so warm
Hold you in my arms so tight

I Miss...

I miss the estranged looks
The way they messed with my head
I miss the house I used to reside
Everything happened for the first time
And for all the good saints
Who kept me in line
I bid them goodbye
For their efforts were in vain

The hand I once held
Now lies in another
But the world still exists around me
I miss Her

I miss the anger she caused
Bleeding knuckles from the fight
I miss the love she once had
Breaking my heart with her sight
And for all the evil things
That torment my mind
I hold you close with no goodbye
You're all too successful

I miss the pain, I miss the anguish
I miss the sorrow, I miss the tears
I miss the screams, I think I know why
I miss Kristina, thought she lied

Funeral Mystery

"In a littel while,
Sooner than you think, 
You won't hear me rant
You won't hear me scream
Cry, babble, or complain
So why am I telling you this?
It's your roof to your yard
And there's a second between"

Within my chest lay your remains
Dead
In there so dark and cold

On this day
Will you be there?
Or dead at my side
She calls for your head
He fights for your life
It's my hands
It's your blood
I can't decide
Whether to kill
Or let survive

Ode To the Years Gone By

When there's a whim of only ache
There should be Her to soothe me
Since She's been gone it's not the same
If there's a whisper to the ear
     claiming I'm still crazy
Since She's been gone I'm not the same

If worry comes to me
I'll take a knee
When beauty takes over all I see
I know She's here to save me 

Never, I feel, will you return
If ever you could, would you?
Since you've been gone it's not the same
Forever seems not long enough
     for the years gone by, 
Since you've been gone I'm not the same

It's hard to say why I feel this way
For years come and go, I shall remain the same
In this throne of broken pride
Impossible to tell that I was wrong
But wrong I always was

It's hard to say that....I miss you

2 Between 1 and 3, It's Me

There's few things in this world
   that can bring me to the ground
But these two are different
   and I'll show you how
The first is innocent and crazier than you
   she's so delicate and needier too
She's something of the sort
   I'm not sure what
But she makes me feel strong
   because I know she's not

The second I've known 10 years gone
And the coming times promise
   good barre none
I could tell you I'm safe deep in her arms
Instead I feel weakened by
   the power she owns
I know it sounds crazy, but let me explain
Whatever I do is meant to
   destroy me

Now I don't feel I have the strength to carry on
Drained myself of all energy to move along
It's a cripple I have, a weakness if you will
It's one in me that I can't kill
I can't be happy, I must push you away
Because I'm the happiest when im completely in dismay

The Alternative Awaiting Me

There are thigns in this world 
I was never meant to doscover
But I fear I've uncovered such darkness
Can it be that I never stopped love?
This story is not over and I know it's a fact
That in life, the consequnces so diar, 
There is only a way of hate
But this is all rebelious
Now I know it hurts, 
But a love knows no Death's hold

And now it's at my knowledge
That my hate of this whore was love
I wished I was too dead to care
For my afflictions hide their face
And show their only side
These two characters have feuded
So long it's been going on but, 
They've come to momentary peace

And now it's at my knowedge
My love is incredible hate
But I cannot kill her
I will miss her
I will take mine instead...
