I was living in darkness
I was blindsided by love
I wasn't in love 
I don't want to be alone
I was looking for love
In wrong places
I was not in my right state
I was mentally ill
I chose a...

He's packin' magic Viagra
Muse infused grooves set the mood
grab ya' and stab ya'

puzzling with all the words in the order
and changing them - around, and 'round again
effecting or affected by affective disorder
to sound around some pleasing refrain

what's to be gained, again, a chorus refrain
chanted softly by the...

I put eyeballs on rivals
as I survive and rise forth
an arrival of an idol
standing Eiffel with force
surprisingly viral 
taking titles and more
in a wave wide and tidal

I'm a Facebook rebel
An Internet introvert
More like the Anonymous hackers
Masked cowards who can't stage a 
coup like our ancestors

My mind is empty
Like a long corridor
With a light flickering

So I pick it up
And stab myself
Letting blood...

It is a quite Sunday morning

It was a weird outing in the evening

Watching the television
Reading the news
I ask not for your views
your case for war is farcical
Your indifference to human suffering is immoral
Yet you call yourselves men of faith and children
Of the clothe
You place your anger on...

heavy metal horses on bloody battle hooves
stampeding serenity underneath their raw and ruthless rules
with red eyes burning bright, fire shooting through their nostrils
they burn like asteroids and the heat is coming hostile
with sadists in their...

Upon the horizon darkness loomed
mocking the shadows in my heart
Love was doomed, dismally abused
Emotions bleeding out
Have I succumbed to malaise and died
If there's a faint pulse

hands of hell keep pulling you under
burned and blistered are mad minds in twisters
swirled and mixed together are cowards and killers death dealers and soul stealers
1000 bullets in your...

Ever since I was a child tormented thoughts like twisters ran so wild
The wind outside my window whispered lunacy and lies
The lightning slashed like strobe lights
Burning bulbs inside my brain
Thunder roared just like a teacher...calling...
