Llib

you can try
keep on trying
none of your gastopo
is gonna intimidate me

because i can see right through you
youre afraid, afraid of what i will do
and have planned for you
and all who appose the rejects such as i 

that look of intimidation
screams fear
ssays slowly
i submit

because you are too stupid to see
that what you have against me
wont bring me down
and in your trials i only grow stronger

i might not seem the part
but my tattered wings blot out the sun
and you have no idea 
of the war you have begun long ago

i will not lay down and die 
but i will sacrafice and die with my sword
knowing in peace you are gone
long before i sleep beneith the earth

so you may try
right or wrong
i will know
no defeat

Breaking Away

It’s not too late for me to turn back And run the other direction Like hell on wheels I’ll still be swerving from side to side A great fire that has been burning within me I cannot resist the urge to spread my ways I am almost like a disease Laying waste to those who deny what they cannot see I, like a phantom, am Weaving in and out of the darkness Only to find still I am alone The shadow lands have been my home For so long I cannot bear to remember the start The darkness has been consuming me For so long it has taken all but my heart Within that fire where that is burning I dare anyone to extinguish the blaze You will fall, trance, in a haze And fail like all those before you It’s not that I cannot be beaten I just cannot be broken I cannot be disemboweled By the hands of ignorance and the breed of hate I won’t call myself a survivor Because I have died many before I won’t call myself a martyr Because…I have died for nothing …but isn’t that a calling in itself? I know I have been placed on this rock for a reason Whether it be called revolution or treason I will do what I must And use the fire from within to fuel the passions in my heart and soul My mission is unknown to me But I know it is important My knowledge isn’t in vein But why do I know what I do And not know what to do with it …that is a curse all in its own So should I be the one to stray from the beaten path Tha thas consumed so so many before me And create, break through the norm? Because so many would fight to keep the same, than to evolve… So here I stand at my crossroads Standing in the unknown Facing the unknown To venture into the unknown But I know in the depths of my soul, That fire, burning passion will unlock the locked doors Bring light to the utter absence of light in the void of the unknown Because deep inside…we are all a little unknown to your own self Use it And break away

Untitled

fall into a trance
and realize all that is withheld 
absorb it and live
because knowledge is a substance i can't live without

listen to your heart
and understand what your soul cries
because we are all born deaf
and we need to learn how to hear what is all around us

emotion runs rampid
and no matter of focus can see them true
but you truly must feel pain and sorrow
to know happiness and love

music in me
opens my eyes, heart and mind
my everything
its the only thing that keeps me whole

music is me
it helps me understand and live
in everything around me
because the more is less and all is nothing

Sometimes

(8-30-2011)

somtimes i cringe
beacuse i forgot how to smile
somtimes i walk by
because running away is just too easy
somtimes i turn up my music
because the world has nothing good to say
somtimes i see an ant on the ground
and crush them all because life is monotinous and stagnant 

somtimes i hide
because i dont know how or where i stand
somtimes i close my eyes
because the blue sky has turned a sickening grey
somtimes i think
..of nothing at all

Fire

ive been here before
...i cant remember the name
the faces and times and places
in which i do now reside

but once before i know 
...i have been here long ago
when time was new and the old
seemed light years away 

not one finger can put place
but the name is on the tip of my tounge
who are all of you? who was i among?
was it you...or me....

slowly coming to mind
is a fire
destroying all the past
and soon the future with it

screams of the misinderstood
echo in my mind to the day
day after day i hear my name
behind my sholder but nobody is there...

soon silence fell
along with the ashes of what was
and eventually what became to be
...me

_________________________________________________________________________


...that once long ago
seemed so fresh in the mind
all the details shined 
like the gleam of the very blaze

i know why i dont know
because i dont want to

the sun shined so bright
...on the day it rained the hardest
and no matter of pleading
could bring back the sun
...it was lost forever

coming back to what i used to know
wishing what i couldve done
but nothing could i change
and the sun never rose again...
