SinR

Sin is my middle name
Lust is too addicting
Should be a drug
Wrath is in every breath
Every step
Every heartbeat
Pride and Envy
Go hand in hand
You can't be better than me
I won't let you be better than me
I want Greed
I want it
And I want it now
There's nothing like
Sloth and Gluttony
To waste your time away
Waste your life away
Throw your life away
I am sin

Magician

With ink-stained words
I'll fool reality
I'm not who you think
I'm not what I seem
This pen is my
Magic wand
I'll pull a rabbit
From this paper
Hold your applause
The best is yet to come
One swipe
And a word dies
Isn't that amazing?
Isn't that amazing?
Just cover it up
With ink
All I need is ink
All I need is ink

In A Breath

All you gotta do to live
Is breathe
In
Just breathe
Out
It's not complicated
Why do we complicate it?
Why do you complicate it?
Just breathe
In
Just breathe
Out
There's nothing more to this
This
Is
All we have left
Just breathe
To live

A Broken Record

I should clean this pen
Probably this paper too
Too much dust on these words
They've all been said before
So no one wants to listen
In fact
No one
Wants to hear them anymore
They're like a broken record
We're like a broken record
Keep making the same mistakes
Over and over again

I'll play you
This broken record
May not like it
But you're going to hear it
I'll heal your
Self-inflicted
Blinded eyes
I'll hold your head straight
So you can't look away
See it
For what it is
Throw away your lies

We don't even dream anymore
Just work our lives for
Some blood money
Too concerned with
Our bright lights
Can you live in the dark?
Could we live in the dark?

I'll play you
This broken record
You may not like it
But you're going to hear it
I'll heal your
Self-inflicted
Blinded eyes
I'll hold your head straight
So you can't look away
See it
For what it is
Throw away your lies

And when we die
We'll be forgotten
They'll build
Over our graves
But we still got life
And I'm going to play
This broken record so loud
They'll be cracks in the floor

Maybe it's the truth
We can't
See
Maybe it's the lies
We
Want
Maybe it's the truth
We can't
See
Maybe it's the lies
We
Want

An Autobiography

Soft spoken
Harsh written
Silently
Screaming
Never was rich
Never was poor
Bled
Because nothing
Was just handed to me
Lied to
Lied
Far from
Perfect
Secrets closer
Than my heart
You will never know
Waking up falling
Dreaming
Wishing for something better
Hoping there's something
More to this
More than this
Anywhere but here
A shadow for reflection
Heart broken
Heart breaking
Shameful
Shameless
A failure to them
But I can only be
Myself

Dismal

Paradise lost!
Paradise lost!
Can you feel
The gates closing?
The darkness
Creeps closer
I can't see!
I can't see!
Vengeance left me
One
Eye
Blind
Open the gate!
Open the gate!
I can hear their screams
Demons calling us
To the grave
This can't be happening!
No!

We fell from clear skies...

We fell from clear skies...

Paradise
Lost
I don't
Want to
Die
Not here
No
Not here

Your Memory

I wonder
When I fade
Will I be remembered?
Can I be a memory?
Can I be your memory?
Keep it close
I'll be that much closer
(That much closer)
I never wanted this
I never meant to hurt you
Don't cry
Please
Tears won't save me now
Can I be your memory?
Keep me that much closer

Break Some Glass

Tear down
The mirrors
From the walls
Maybe
Then
We can look
At ourselves
For what we are
No one lives your life
For you
Gotta live it yourself
Therein lies your strength
No one can bring you down
But yourself
Don't let them
Think for you
Don't let them
Breathe for you
Don't let them
Live for you
They can't live
Your life
For you
Gotta live it yourself
Break some glass

All in Ink

Hesitation
That's the story
Of my life
In one word
Hesitating
Missing chances
Letting go
Wishing
Wanting
Waiting
Dreaming
Hoping
Killing myself
Doing nothing
Reluctant
I don't see a future
Not in this darkness
Uncertain
All I see
Are blank pages
In a book
Called my heart
The ink is ready
The pen's in my hand
But I'm still waiting
Someone guide me
Someone find me
I'm here
Still waiting

no longer

I WILL SCREAM
AND KEEP SCREAMING
UNTIL MY VOICE
GROWS HOARSE
AS LONG AS I CAN SPEAK
AS LONG AS I CAN BREATHE
I WILL SCREAM
LET THIS PAIN BE HEARD

Do you know what it means
To hurt?
Your heart is crushed
By the world

PAIN IS UNIVERSAL
PAIN IS UNIVERSAL
BUT THEY DON'T KNOW
NO THEY DON'T KNOW
THE FEELING

Do you get the feeling
That something
Isn't right?
How can she be so far
When she's so close
To my touch?
The world plays games
With you
And you want it so bad
So bad to sell yourself

LET THIS PAIN
BE HEARD
TO THE WORLD
KNOW WHAT IT MEANS
TO HURT

Nobody cares for feeling
(I'm not like that anymore)
Nobody else is breathing
(My heartbeat stopped long ago)

NO LONGER SILENT
NO LONGER SILENT

Last Ride

So close your eyes
You don't want to see tonight
Say your goodbyes
This will be
Our last ride

Over the edge
We've gone too far
There's no turning back
Turn the wheel
Push the pedal to the floor
In flashing lights
We'll crash and burn

Hold on tight
My darling
I've been ready
To say goodbye
For far too long
You're a teaser you know?
This
Is
The
End

Rage

There's something
About the blaze
That scares the
Life out of you
How far can you go?
How far will you go?
Once it starts...
Is it wildfire?
Does it burn out
And turn to ashes?
Is the match in your hand
Or another's?
Who's to blame?
Is is wrong?
Is it right?
Do you know the meaning?
They preach self-control
They don't know the blaze
Can't hold it back
Let it burn out

A Tittle is Too Depressing

I never thought we were innocent
I know we're not innocent
We judge others
We condemn ourselves
We want to live on the edge
But we're afraid of razorblades
We're scared to death
Of life
We want to scream
But don't want to be heard
Here I am
Don't look
We dream
And keep dreaming
Wishing on
Foresaken stars
No one wants to be us
We don't want to be us
We want to save others
But we can't save ourselves
We're trying to fly
With one wing
The days are long
And the nights are longer
There's too much time
To think to ourselves
To think of ourselves

Give Me

People don't change
They only fade
Away
The screams aren't silent
We just don't want to listen
We are afraid
Of the truth
Tell me some lies
Anything
Give me ignorant bliss
I don't want to know
How it's made
Just give it to me
We sleep
With one eye open
Can't trust them
Can't trust ourselves

"At the last moment I will enclose the MS. in a bottle, and cast it withing the sea. An incident has occurred which has given me new room for meditation. Are such things the operation of ungoverned chance? I had ventured upon deck and thrown myself down, without attracting any notice, among a pile of ratlin-sutff and old sails, in the bottom of the yawl."
- The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe

"At the end of the fighting all those who had fallen miraculouly rose, and in the evening they all sat together again: eating, drinking, and carousing. The warriors ate the meat of a boar named Saehrimnir, which was cooked each day in the pot Eldhrimnir by the cook Andhrimnir. Saehrimnir's flesh would always be sufficient to feed the Einherjar, regardless of their number, and each morning it was whole again, ready to be cooked for the next day. the Einherjar's drink was an endless supply of mead produced by a goat named Heidrun who, each day, filled a vat big enough for all to drink their fill"
