Behind Your Eyes

Listen to the following
For it's the story of a lie
I follows the life of a girl who never did try
Choked up and absorbed in self-wallowing
Nothing but the sound of a heart hollowing
She threw her nights away bleeeding through her eyes
Trying to be free but left with nothing but sighs
A twist of the knife and she's reduced to crawling

Your white wings have turned black from being too late
This is all jsut a game to you
A sick game I've come to hate
you take my breath and use it for your own words
I'm your evil angel and you've been denied
This ends our story so let's see how much we've cried

Too Scary To Even Think About

I had a nightmare
Lead to a malicious death
Woke up in cold sweat

You'Ll Regret Doubting Me

You think what I do is a joke
Some kind of elaborate hoax
Never understanding what goes on
Barely looking further than skin deep

I bury my feelings
Hidden under the surface, bleeding
While I’m trapped inside my mind
You assume everything is just fine

I keep things private
No worries from everyone else
Secrets never uncovered
Tears never spilled

When things finally explode
You’ll dying be alone
I’ll be rising from the flames
This was never a game

Life isn’t a gamble 
I don’t want to waste it
Things you  said were bad, I find perfectly good
I never needed to be fixed

I may see dark as light and wrong as right
But I am more than you could ever be
Don’t take me down with you 
I’m making more changes as you drag that last ragged breath

Smiling as if I actually feared death
Life is better now that I’m free
People are happy and secure
And too late realize all long that I was never weak

Ode To Zombies

Rising from the dead with a scent like rotting garbage 
Always a tad bit sideways limping on one leg 
Trailing through a small town leaving a lot of carnage
For the taste of human brains you forever will beg
The grunts and growls escaping from your mouth are buzzing through my mind
I’m trying to figure out why you always create a crime
The decaying skin across your body sheds and falls behind
I don’t know why you fascinate me but to decipher that I’ll take my time

Scarlet red and dripping from your mouth
The blood drips down as if it’s from a faucet
Head cocked crooked like a sound came from the south
Dropping your hand you tell me just to toss it
As we walk your structure falls apart 
Limbs falling like rain how can you not be in pain
You’ve just lost your foot and now I’m pushing you in a cart

Lloovvee

So love me gently with a chainsaw
And take that glass against your wrists
You know I'm your worst nightmare
How you love my bloddy kiss

Tell me your apologies
I hope you don't believe i really care
I'll bite your lip so incredibly hard
And watch the innocence just drip away

So take your tears and go away
And I'll take my love with a hand grenade
The lie, she cried, a heartache

Mirror, Mirror

Growing up with smiling faces
Tripping over untied laces
Laughing with a light in our 
eyes
When exactly did the innocence 
die
Staring at my reflection, I 
watch 
Judgment morphs my features, 
in shock
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Will you be happy when the 
numbers fall
Make up face, tiny waist
Not enough and dreams are 
chased
Insults whip from your 
venomous tongue
Leaving lashes on my skin, 12 
years young
You said you were my friend, a 
knife in my back 
I try to compensate for the 
things I lack
Mirror, mirror on the wall
For your redemption I will crawl
Through the hate society brings
PERFECTION the media sirens 
sing
Deathly thin and too much 
concealer
Everyone tries, but nothing can 
heal her
Darkened eyes and foggy 
thoughts 
Look at what your "standards" 
brought 
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I bow to your subjective call
From the land of make believe
I surface with the reality that 
made me leave 
Not good enough! The voices 
shout 
Be thinner, be prettier! All this 
doubt
Killing the teenager before the 
fight
Nothing you can do will make 
this right
Mirror, mirror on the wall
Why is it now, I feel so small 
She's dead! She's dead! 
Society's surprised
He's broken! He's bleeding! 
Your plan devised 
Break us down because we're 
not conforming 
"The world is your stage!" Well 
I'm done performing
Toss aside my feelings no 
longer
You must hate that I'm getting 
stronger 
Mirror, mirror on the wall
No more influence, I'm 
standing tall
Picking up the pieces and 
sorting them through 
Shatter the deceiving image 
that once hurt
Control it no longer the truth 
we must blurt 
Breaking us down will happen 
no more 
Now all your shards fall to the 
floor
Mirror, mirror on the wall
We are the fairest of them all
Believe in us and you will see
Everything I know we can be

Least Favorite Things

Ribbons on spiders
And ghosts in your closet
Blood on the walls
And skeletons in bed
Night turns to day
And fantasies that drown
These are a few of your least favorite things
Mummies unwrapped 
and immortals that die
Music without sound
And flags with no pride 
Dresses with tears
And comedy that cries
Just a few more of your least favorite things
A day without fear 
And tradgedies so warm
Speaking with violence
And sports that have knives
Rest without peace 
And hate with no flame
This ends our list of your least favorite things

You Should Be Ashamed

When "darkness" leaks into the mind
Of the young who are thought to be blind 
Steps are taken and moves are made
To make the thoughts mist and fade 

Poison! We shout. The risk is too great
Daring individualism it poses to create 
For why would we want to expose 
The truth, we quietly lie, dispose 

Shielding them from reality, never letting loose
All the while you're just tying tighter, their noose
Strangle them with lies
Ignore their cries

Things are out of hand
Childhood is becoming much too bland
Facts of life become sensitive topics 
And you say the media is toxic

It's you who make their lives dishonest
Preventing them from understanding what's best
Minds with chains and a veil over their innocent eyes
Your security lasts until that final lie dies

Freedom kills what you built for the first few years
You can deal with the coming exposure and their questioning tears 
Don't you dare say I never warned you
I won't be blamed for explanations way past due

Only Sixteen

Can you believe I’m only sixteen
Seeing the world so black and white
You ask what could I have seen?
Nothing. Just an endless night

That glass is half empty
That flower is wilting
There is death aplenty
And I’m just starting

There isn’t comfort in life
I’m a realist
Find peace quicker with a knife
Never an optimist

Laugh if you will
Just trying to spare you the pain
Hatred can only kill
Embrace the acid rain

Everything must die 
Mothers cry
Fathers lie
And I just fly

Always Here

With a personality that shown bright as stars
And always a hint of clorox
Her presence will never be doubted

With the stories of her life
And the stories of ours
She will never leave our hearts

Even now, though she is far away
She can get through
And make even the strongest person shed a tear

With the pictures and memories
And how she always spoke her mind
She will live on forever

Though she's a world away
She'd want us to remeber her with smiles and laughs
Not tears and frowns
