Atonement

free in a moment
but everyone wants it
a single second
oh so pleasant

now its gone
life rages on
here's the war
join the corps

there's the pain
that keeps us sane
the toll of death
taking every last breath

the innocence of youth
the freest of any moment
leaving now just the truth
maturity is your atonement

Twisted

Tying knots
Mental state
Who is hot?
Let us rate

Mental games
Teenage life
Goals to aim
Who holds the knife

Broken thoughts
Broken hearts
Connect the dots
Life just starts

You existed
But now you're gone
Life's so twisted
Should've held on

The Old Man From Far Away

this old man is always there
after your soul
no one cares
he's a greedy old man

he wants what you got
all to himself
he'll put you away
like a toy on a shelf

don't give in to his dark evil stare
you may not like it
but he is always there

there shining eyes
filled with greed
run while you can
he hardly let you breathe

run little boys
run little girls
don't fall
or nothing will be yours

he hunts all night
even through the day
 here he comes
the old man from far away

The Sands of Time

the grains on the glass
like the people of the town
they all look alike
but no one is
they trapped in the glass
but they call it home
they all fall one way 'til time is up
then they go the other way
why do they all go the same way
why not find a leader
to lead them out,
of the pain of following the rest
someone has to fight
or there isn't anything left
fight for what you love
be better than the rest

Beauty

Beauty is a wonderful thing
It comes in many shapes and forms
Nothing holds it back. except eyes
They shouldn't because it's everywhere

The beauty in a gleaming smile
The beauty in bright, sparkling eyes
The beauty in a rising sun
The beauty in you and me

Beauty is a wonderful thing
But there's a cloud over our eyes
Hiding true beauty with empty lies
Open your eyes and remove the cloud

Shadows

we hide our secrets
With the shadows
No one can find them
With the shadows
that's my weakness
in these shadows
this cursed gem
in these shadows

In the back corner
like a shadow
All dusty and old
in the shadow
No one will look here
there's just a shadow
They will only see mold
under a shadow

The shadows hide all
No one see's through their wall
They charge no fee
hiding it with glee
They will keep your secret
they do it quite frequent

But wait your dead
So there is no fright
The secret in your head
Will never see the light 
You trusted the shadows
with a secret it swallows

They protected the secret
Even from you
Now your six feat under
And i'll be there too

Trailing Soul

Am i human?
Do i Belong?
Who am i Fooling?
I'm almost gone

A broken soul
A lost cause
Life has its toll
Life isn't what it was

Am i lost?
Or was i ever here?
There is always a cost
Don't shed a single tear

You're talking to a ghost
My soul in a shell
I fade past most
Sometimes i just want to yell

No one hears me
no one sees me
what's left of me?
Who is "me"?
