The world is blacked by the lunar love of my heart
By the vapor of my mind 
All the tides have gone undone
The mist covers my sight
The beast comes out tonight
-- The Storm Comes...

The Dying Game 

Joe Dougherty

Tell me, Casanova, how long you’ll pine
On sodden sleeves your heart you’ve worn
Reputation on the line in decline

A broken soul forever weak

But today is standing still
An echo of a hollow past
Who's forgotten how...

Ever wonder what the world would be
if everyone had stayed at home...

If no one ever tired... of faces ...all he same

Take one more pill as time stands still
In another sleepless night
Why go to bed to toss and turn
It’s another winless fight
You hear the tick and every click
The clock makes by your head
You can’t close your...
