CONSEQUENCE (WHERE BEAUTY LIES)
This one was written with the help of a friend and inspired by The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
A little prince, an open field
Sun shines down with gentle eyes
A house that stands in front of him
Beckons him in with warmth-filled cries
A wall of bricks, a veil of vine
Surrounded by crisp Autumn air
The prince arrives and sees himself
Embraced by flowers everywhere
Tranquility with charm at best
Were nothing to surprise the prince
Yet what he felt was so unique
Hadn't caught him a long time since
He ran to them with what he saw
And started to quickly describe
The birds, the field, the peace he felt
The clouds playing tag in the sky
They'll tilt their heads and shake them too
"Son, we cannot see what you mean."
So he'll say with a heavy sigh,
"It cost lots of money, you see."
Suddenly, they'll nod and smile
And now, an image comes to mind
The price will tell of it's beauty
They won't ever realize they're blind
He walks away, with heavy steps
Their words sinking into his heart
If beauty was what they had said
Was it worth what set us apart?
For people these days are always
Concerned with their matters of worth
What others say, what others do
Matters of consequence of earth
A little prince, a lonely field
Rain storms down with angry eyes
A house that falls in front of him
He has now found where beauty lies
A PROMISE MADE
Shattered dreams and broken hearts
Watching friendships fall apart
Love and luck and laughs and lies
The best hello's, the worst goodbyes
Watch him leave, not see him since
He and I, the best of friends
All those risks I wanted to take
Some worked out, the rest mistakes
Welcome change but want the past
Memories that would always last
Few months ago, a promise made
Survive the year, while unafraid
Well, '09, I won't ever forget
You played a year without regret
'10, I'll make a deal with you
I'll brave the year, just get me through
WHEN NO ONE SAID GOODBYE
No one ever told her
That it would be so hard
To love the life she lived
Then watch it fall apart
No one ever warned her
Of all the time she'd waste
If hating meant nothing
And all love was replaced
No one ever bothered
Or cared to tell her why
When living in this world
It helped to live a lie
No one ever mentioned
The pain that she would feel
When ghosts of regret left
The scars she couldn't heal
No one ever loved her
Or let her have a try
Living life the right away
When no one said goodbye
A LONELY PORTRAIT
To think of life as a miracle
Pleasure painted, pleasure found
Along this road, a road so dark
Angels tainted, angels bound
A gorgeous, lovely work of art
Colors bright, colors beaming
Empty canvas shows the truth
Demons fight, demons screaming
It's all that life has ever been
A lonely portrait on the wall
Creating cracks along the bricks
Just waiting for our tears to fall
UNTITLED (again xD)
Be prepared; they want to try you
If you stop, they won't get by you
If you scream, be sure they hear you
Don't be scared, know they fear you
Don't look back, they will replace you
If you run, they'll always chase you
If you walk, they'll never catch you
Be sure to know they will attack you
If you cry, don't let them see you
Do not try, they'll never free you
If you die, hope that they knew you
Say goodbye, it's never been true
If you see the light, they'll blind you
If you hide, they'll always find you
Don't hesitate, they'll try to break you
If you love, know that they hate you
MADMAN
The mouse was chasing the cat, you see
And the cat came racing after me
So they lied
- they both lied
And they lied when the madman screamed
He screamed about his life and death
About the moment he'd take his last breath
So he tried
- yes, he tried
He tried and cursed in love's distress
He called me names, he proved me wrong
I should have known this all along
So I'll hide,
- yes, I'll hide
But I'll hide and he'll chase me to where I belong
This door is locked, I can't get it open
I tried the gate, but the bars are broken
So I cried
- yes, I cried
When I cried the gaurd was finally woken
He did not have the key, I could not come inside
I was sent back to where this pain would divide
He denied,
- yes, denied
He denied that he ever had strength to decide
He wanted, he was, he never will be again
He trusted these hearts that he called his friends
So he sighed,
- Oh, he sighed
And he sighed; they never reached the end
The mouse has chased the cat, you see
And after she brought the skull to me
It had died
- they both died
And they died when the madman screamed
HIS ANGEL CRIES
Though demons will haunt her,
She'll scream through the night
Her eyes filled with fear
Her mind all with fright
But she’ll see him coming
His arms open wide
He'll embrace her and say,
"Love, I'm at your side."
She'll smile and nod
He'll make her believe
Her heart was once heavy
And now, it's relieved
She'll look up at him
With tears in her eyes
So maybe she knew it -
But just now she realized
He'll fight her fears,
He'll laugh on their grave
As his angel cries,
Her hero saves
Terrified
I AM TERRIFIED
Memories, they scare me
I hear their painful cries
All that they regret -
These stolen, broken lies
I FEEL SO ALONE
I don't know what comes next,
Or what the future brings
It doesn't matter where I am
But where I've ever been
THIS SILENCE SURROUNDS ME
I was never enough for you
Always wanted something more
I can't accept defeat;
You'd still be there, I swore
IT'S ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN
Silent Screams & Silhouettes
I found that you just stood there
Watching as I drowned
In jealousy, self-pity
As I sank beneath the ground
I found a place to hide
In the smoke of cigerettes
The bottom of this bottle
In danger's silhouette
I found the strength I wanted
In the bottom of your heart
But when that heart was broken,
I couldn't watch it fall apart
I found that second place
And no matter what I do,
I know I won't be good enough
To be as good as you
So I found the hate I loved
And I found the love I hated
I found I'll never be the best,
But first is overrated
I found the hope I needed
In the truth of all these lies
Though I think it all caved in
At the moment I realized
Somewhere along this narrow path,
I shouted for some help
My silent screams weren't heard -
Because somehow, I lost myself
On Life & In Love
Her innocent hand so gently caressed
All that she had been dreaming of
She claimed she had no hold on life
But for once, she had fallen in love
I'd look into this mirror and feel
The breath of a stranger around me
The glass, it shattered, and screamed
I cried out and so you found me
Running on rocks, she tried not to fall
Though her eyes betrayed the pain
Cuts and bruises of a broken heart,
A love that she couldn't explain
I hear a voice in the distance
It whispers, it shouts, my name
I try to run, I'll race away -
The ending is always the same
Her steady hand hesitantly let go
All that she had ever dreamed of
She swore she had no hold on life
And for once, she had fallen in love
Silent Rapture
She'd love to hear what you'd say if you knew
That all these words had been wasted on you
Her blood-kissed hands that held your silent rapture
Her fingers lost the words that she failed to capture
Just seeing your face fills her mind with disgust
Apologize now, 'cause you've lost all her trust
You built her up strong, week after week
You let her fall down, you inglorious freak
Because of you, she can't wake up and say -
"You know, I don't feel like dying today."
Black Box of Memories
Trapped inside a concrete box,
A concrete box with windows,
Windows covered in black,
In black so I couldn't see
See, I surrounded myself,
Myself with memories
And so.
I thought of firecrackers
Firecrackers and sandy shoes
Sandy shoes and the smell of
The smell of marshmallows,
Marshmallows just roasted
Roasted on the beach, the
sandy beach that caused our
our sandy shoes and sandy selves
Our sandy selves that thought maybe,
Maybe it would be tonight -
Tonight, forever ago
Forever ago, I thought of chords
Chords and unwritten songs
Unwritten songs we always forgot about
Forgetting about was never nice,
Never nice but always inevitable
Inevitable, we thought the love
The love that was there, it was
Was when we shared that
that sliver of hope, that
That small shred of faith,
Faith that was short-lived
Short-lived because I could never forget
No, I never forgot the
The sweet taste of salt,
Salt melted against my lips
On my lips lingered your,
Your taste, it was there
It was there but I couldn't remember
I couldn't remember so I thought of,
I thought of firecrackers
And so I thought of you.

It's hard to find the words
to describe what I'm feeling
I really don't think a simple
'Sorry' will suffice
Or I could throw
A bag of chips at your head
(Which type do you prefer?)
With the words 'please forgive me'
written across the front
I don't think that would
Really do much good, though
You'd walk 20 steps ahead
And I'd push you 52 behind
I was sure that you
would never get
anywhere with me
But I ignored the urge to stop,
and kept on going either way
(You should have told me to shut up.)
So I jumped into
a lake of self pity,
I started drowning -
you were forced
to save me
That wasn't fair
Forgive me.
I missed him
I hated them
I wanted her
I put it all on you
I can assure you that
I'm the one to blame
I knew it was true, or
I thought it was
does that count?
To think I'd change for them,
I thought it would be right -
I was wrong.
He was the only thing on my mind
And I'll be the first to admit,
I was rather desperate -
But I had you.
I knew that if I changed for them,
You'd slowly fade away
I won't do it, I swear to you
I'll never let that part of me go
Would you be proud?
And her.
Oh, goodness,
how much I wanted her
To appreciate me,
To know I was there
I was so caught up that
I forgot about you.
And if I ask you to tell me
That you don't hate me,
I perfectly understand if you refuse
I was far too obsessed
With acception
and exceptions
so your presence disappeared
I'll never do it again,
I promise
My apologies, Sabariel.
I hope you like them.
