Forcing a smile, forcing to get up and go on
Forcing herself to get ready like nothing was truly broken inside.
But truly no matter how much make up
No matter how much tears...

''Welcome to Hell," the sign should've read,
Reaching your destination-its all in your head!
Thank you, for your invention.
I'l. Never  leave your side.
We'll become very acquainted.
My child, there's no where to hide
"Last call for the train heading...

A Progressive Shadow

A series of real challenges and troubling world events 
In our twenty-first century give us a definite reason and
An urgency to pause and reflect on mankind’s situation.

Our world today—more than at any other...

You’re nothing, but scum
You’re nothing, but waste
You’re nothing, but trash
You’re nothing, but lies.

Loathing around the house
Ear stuck to the phone
Keeping dirty secrets 
Vanishing half the day.

A hollow shell of a man
A hollow shell of a...

The Easy Way Out

(Verse 1)
I'm breaking this chain
Toughing it out
Through the pain and the rain
I get on my grind 
Hoping one day it'll change 
Sometimes seems like 
Situations the same 
Working  you work real...

So many friends and family
Yet I’m so lonely and alone
No one to reach out and talk to
All by myself left to condone

How did I let this happen again?
Why didn’t I see it from a mile...

There’s so much inside of me
That I wish I could say
Yet I keep it to myself
It’s easier that way

Alone 
White walls tinted blue surround.
Lights are dim, 
Music plays.

3:00am roles around,
Not a sound.

Blade in hand,
Carved a path.

Alone
Pink walls shaded pale.
Lights are bright,
Searching.

4:00am comes in sight,
Which pills to take tonight.

All in sight,
Grabs water.

Alone
Blue walls shaded...

Her life was getting too complex
As she is feeling more perplexed
Holding that sharp razor blade
A tough decision must be made
If she should just start forgetting
The lonely life she had been living
Trying to pull far away

Isn’t life funny sometimes?
I have always wished for a hero in my life.
Someone to comfort, protect, and to encourage me to become the person I was meant to be.
 
Instead I end up with someone...

What are you thinking about?
I've never had this much trouble
Reading--
You never let me in
And it makes me think 
You're sick of me--
That you don't want me around--
The sound
Of another person--
A different guy
Telling me he loves...

Forever gone extinguished my souls flame, sadness takes over...

To isolate myself and take the easy way out.

Like absolutely nobody will care if I just...

I take the easy way out
Life's a luggage with knotted cords
And walking around with it is hard
I take the easy way out
From beckoning sorrows deferred
Pass lazy neon lights where others erred
I take the easy way...

Low Road Led By Black
Potential vanished within the 
dark
Flame extinguished instantly
Lights gone dark-response to 
oppression
A wink in the span of time
Uniquely minute in sliver of 
existence
Unable to overcome
Forced to take the downward 
sloped path
Than attempt...

Harvard, Princeton or Yale?

I gotta get my head straight

Staring out into space
I bury my face in my hands
Where am I headed?
What can I do?
I’m still depressed,
Still getting over you.
I could end it all,
Take the easy way out
Carrying on is so hard to do
