Sad But True

Sad but true. When we all fall down who will catch you? 
 Count the days and praise the one who always prays. 
 The sun is coming down on us hard 
tonight.  
When she finally dies her blood will paint the sky with the color called night.  
Small pin holes called stars shine through the black blanket of blood. 
 Pain"t" is just a dirty cover up with Tea added to the mud.  
Take the "T" away and all you have left of this cover up is PAIN!  
The secret you conceal in your heart keeps your brain from being sain.  
Add the secret Tea to this with all of your kindness and a Sain"t" will be forever in 
your heart.    
In order to finally finish this life with peace, you have to know were to start!!

Black Cloud Circus

I have a growing black cloud in my heart 
My soul inside is slowly falling apart 
The decay of my spirit can be seen in sad eyes 
There is a growing attraction of this spectacle in an immeasurable size  

A freak show circus has come to town in this black cloud 
The audience comes with the currency of ridicule and judgment oh so proud! 
They point and laugh and mock me oh so cleverly! 
I am great for business because I am such a sad sight to see! 

No one knows what is really behind the curtains of my dark eyes 
Some where in my mind I pray for a quick demise 
I care too much and willing show the vulnerable card 
The audience mistakes my compassion for stupidity and labels me a retard 
 
There will be a point in time when I am just gone one day 
Some one will have to tell them the show is cancelled and to go away 
 
No more freak boy with the enlarged heart 
No more sensitive weirdo who is not too smart 
No drowning fish who can not do anything right 
Sorry your freak show was cancelled which brought you all such personal delight 

The time has come to find a new human attraction 
Some other poor bastard to mock for personal satisfaction

Tempting!!

It is so tempting to drink from the barrel of lead 
The contents would go straight to my head 
I will forever sleep in a dream no one can conceive 
And all the pain I feel will surely leave! 

Forever immortalized in a youthful state 
My body will grow cold, but be spared from an aged fate
I still feel like I am 100 years old 
My thirst drives me to drop my hand and fold 

I could never count the death of the tears that have fallen for you 
An ocean was created for you to go to 
I look at this lonely sea of sadness and sorrow!  
You never tried to see this sea of mine so I will not wake up tomorrow 

This world has become to much for me 
Sorry my face is some thing you will never again see! 
Good bye my love and good night 
When I lost your heart, the battle to live lost the fight!

A Soldier's Diary

I am too young to feel this damn old 
It is so lonely now; so much for being bold 
Too many rainy days and not enough sunny places 
Seen more cruel days than friendly faces 

 My food always taste the same; a deep bland 
The skin on my bones is dried liked leather from all the sand 
I am 2 feet from being in the Earth’s private hell 
Only thing keeping me alive and sain is God and mail 

Always counting the days I have been away from home 
No amount of money is worth being in this land I roam
I still count my blessings as my lungs count on air 
What I can always count on is my friend disappointment and his partner despair  
 
 I might as well get use to death in this sandy place 
Sleeping during your duty could make you a milk carton case 
So kiss me because it may be a kiss goodbye 
If I do not make it back to you love, please do not cry 

I dream that one day we will all be home, home for good! 
My mind will be a vault of things I have seen that people never should!

My Prison

My tears hit the dusty wood floor 
I think of you and wish I did not love any more 
My heart cries for you as well 
I can’t forget you though I went through hell 

The pain is nothing compared to the love I felt 
If I could make you feel the same way, your ice heart would surly melt 
I sit alone at night as sure as the wind will blow 
My mind is dark with thoughts as the fire bugs glow 

A lonely prison is where I sit called remorse and pain 
My cell mate is misery and the guard is insane 
I have been doing time for so long now 
Wish to escape to a happy place, but don’t know how 

So often I watch the peaceful birds float on by 
If I sleep hard enough, I too can fly  
In this land of my slumbering make-believe, 
You’re a queen of the land and you never leave 

I too share with you as the king of this land 
But time goes fast and my eyes lose the sleeping sand 
I am always waking up in misery’s cell  
 
Will I ever be free from you? 
Only God knows and time will tell

My Way

My pride is just a blank white page 
I have nothing but unacquainted rage  
No one knows how much I have inside 
If you think you know me, I probley lied 

A kind face will win your delicate smile 
A considerate gesture will get us by another mile 
This road is one I have traveled for so damn long 
There is nowhere to stop because there is nowhere I belong 

I have seen beautiful people and places 
Wide mountains and forgettable faces 
Alone I travel with nothing to gain or lose 
I long to rest, to stop and sigh, but my heart will always refuse 

So another mile will pass and so will your love 
When I wake up alone, only dry eyes will I rub 
My sorrow can not slow this train down 
It just moves me faster from town to town 

Another lost love is another crack on my heart 
My body will keep moving until I fall apart 
Another day is just another game to play 
It does not matter if I win or lose 
When I die, I’ll know I did it my way

So Lost

Some times I get so lost when I’m alone
The world is made of water and I’m a simple stone
When I try to run, I fall straight down
Now the weight of the world on my shoulders has a crushing sound 

Over my head in a dark part of the world
Alone and drowning as my heart is so chilled
I become washed up, crushed, cold and blue
Life has become a struggle I can’t get through

Other rocks come down hard on me
Stuck in this gutter means they won’t let me be
Each one makes a chip or takes a crack
One day they will surely break my back

I wish they would stop trying to kill metal with rust
Have them all come at once and face me till I’m dust

This new form of life I would gladly be!
For dust in the water becomes sand by the sea
Forever and ever after I would be so free
The warm sunshine would be so heavenly

In this world my pain would mostly subside
But the Lord keeps me humble by bringing in the tide

Patients

For three and a half years I have craved your heart
Another five months and our paths will depart 
Your hair is always a midnight beautiful and your figure so gently thin 
Rose pedals is what makes up you soft, smooth skin 
These are the things I have always wanted to say to you
But there are more things to say before I am through
‘In love” is what I want to say
Unfortunately, ‘Infatuation”  is the songs your friends like to play
None the less, I know my heart is true  
Hard days go by easier just by the fulfilling thought of you
The first day you talked to me, I was done
I do not have to search for the moon because you are the sun 
Your so bright and warm, but still a million miles away
I get caught up in your smile and can not think of what to say
I would wear Abercrombie if it meant you would love me
I would throw my trench coat and my boots away if it meant you would always stay
I would cover up my tattoo if it meant I could hold you
For you, I would fold the highest hand
I could lose a game, but losing  you is what I could not stand 
But if you still don’t want me now, I will be just fine
I can wait forty years because you will just age like wine
I will still be your friend if you never give me a chance
And maybe one far away day in heaven we can dance

The Battle of Desperation

Where do I put my hate at the end of the day?
Who will save my soul when I forget to pray? 
How do I fall asleep at night? 
When all I want to do is fight! 

Who can I love when my love has gone away? 
Why can't I be the man that would make her want to stay? 
I rip my mind apart like the blade rips the flesh. 
At the end of the day my head is a bloody mess. 

I don't slip cause I won't get up from a fall. 
I am losing at life's game so I am left to ball. 
They laugh at my demise cause they can't resist. 
So I know when my body expires, it won't be missed. 

The cold flesh will become a bone frame. 
No one will ever look at me the same. 
I will fall and your tongue will cause the slip! 
Your bottle of pain is not the same as mine, just a sip! 

Get drunk and high off my misery. 
Spit it, suck it, slam it, then let me be. 
I am a sinner so throw your stone. 
Make your hatred known and then leave me alone! 

My soul is not worth saving any more. 
This battle has ended and I am done for! 

I do not need to sleep at night! 
I can fight a war with out any sight! 
My love is gone and gone for good! 
She did not love me and I know now she never would!

I Had a Dream You Stole My Heart

The December chill creeps around my bones 
My joints feel like crushed up stones 
I walk through the bittier cold night 
I really should not call you, but I just might 
 
My mind knows your poison, but my heart does not care
Life is full of pain, and you have given me my fair share
The walk is to get you out of my troubled head 
But you creep like the cold even when I’m alone in bed 
 
Sick and delusional that you’re my cure 
My mind won’t accept you don’t love me anymore 
So alone I walk, I walk until I fall 
The pain is so crippling and I will soon crawl 
 
An inch away from death is a million miles from home 
Now I only have this dessert sand I roam.  
I know I loved you to much 
 But your hold on my heart is such a strong clutch 
  Squeeze if you will until the blood won’t go through 
 
Do not stop until my heart stops 
I am so tired of loving you
