Can You Show the Same

In a world of conformity
Individuality i cannot see
Is it the beak or the bill
The blanket or the quilt 
The power of an individual 
The weakness of an individual
It is easy to fall down 
But so hard to get back up
So why should you feel okay when you put someone down?
What if they never get back up?
I feel like a friend that is friendless
And a man that is powerless
If you had the barrel pointed your direction 
Would you still be able to show the same affection?

Sometimes

Sometimes I think about you,
and sometimes i'm all alone.
And i wonder, if shes with another
dreams involving her vivid with color.
Unable to sleep,
thoughts could never linger so deep.
I remember in September when,
you wrote me that letter an,
the faded words made it to this day,
cause that was where the tears did fade.
What if the sun didn't rise tomorrow?
What if there was no more time to borrow?
At least i got to watch it set tonight,
beautiful a fading light,
and i could say the same about my life.
Everyone eventually dies,
but my love for you will stay strong forever,
no matter what i endeavor.
Even if it was a different time, 
I'd still have some time
 Sometimes I think about you,
and sometimes i'm all alone.

Demons

Unveil the pain, as I wipe away the rain
Would a fish still be the same, if it had no gills to breath
Glory and pride await, the day you'll surely seize
I don't believe in angels, but lately I've been seeing ghosts
Ghost haunt me at night, but demons show the most
I can't escape my demons,
I can't escape my demons, they Mark in small lesions
When the demons roam on earth and fire consumes the world
You're calm at first but sooner you observed
You puff once you puff twice, makes your problems alright
I don't believe in angels, but lately I've been seeing ghosts
Ghost haunt me at night, but demons show the most
I can't escape my demons
I can't escape my demons, cause they show the most
They show what I want the most, and show me what I could've had
They show me in the roast, and they show me as a lad
Show me my mistakes, responsible for everything I break
I would apologize, but I'm trapped inside of lies
I don't believe in angels, but lately I've been seeing ghosts
Ghost haunt me at night, but demons show the most
I can't escape my demons
Cause demons show the most
I can't escape my demons
For my life I can only hope

Hypocrite

Look at life in a new frame
Life will never be the same
Sustained in blood and pain
Loathing in fraud and shame
Laying in the summer shade
Soon all of life will fade
Figure out where we're made
Surround me with a raid
Nothing left but the blood stains
A river of a flowing pain
Cry your tears blend in the rain
Passing cars and switching lanes
Tangled in the lions mane
Un shameful how I'm made
Still thought I should have stayed
Still thought I should have stayed
But now that I know, I know
Never forgive unforgivable
New life new residual
But now that I know, I know
You will never be forgiven
All those miles I had driven 
But now that I know, I know
Loathing in the thoughts at mind
Look forever I'll never find
The answer I am looking for
Can't stand it walk out the door
Just a quarter before
The time turned to four
Thirty five minutes away
 thoughts get led astray
Joint ash in the ashtray
Help me free up my mind
Never get lost behind
Looking at the outside 
Stuck on the inside
Gooey middle but an outer rind
Head first in the shallow end
Pressure my mind to bend
For our sins need to amend
Call upon an old friend
Live forever in the end
Live forever in the end
But now that I know, I know
Never forgive unforgivable
New life new residual
But now that I know, I know
Thought I'd never give in
To your sweet love again
But now that I know, I know
Crying on my knees again
Begging for you to come in
But now that I know, I know
Living life with regret
Happiness is far from this
But now that I know, I know
Pool of the dark abyss
Lost in your soulless kiss
But now that I know, I know
Bliss coming from the tip
Your everlasting lip
But now that I know, I know
Said I'd never love again
Now I'm lost without a friend
But now that I know, I know
